After their two-year journey from St. Louis to the Pacific and back shortly after the Louisiana Purchase, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark left behind volumes of notes, maps and scientific descriptions of new plants and animals that they identified on their voyage of discovery.
What they apparently did not leave behind, however, was much physical evidence of their passage. Try as they might, archeologists have been unable to find any traces of their 600 campsites or the two forts they built for wintering over. The lack of evidence seemed so total that a handful of extremist critics charged that the expedition never occurred.
That situation changed dramatically this summer when a team from the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Mont., led by archeologist Kenneth W. Karsmizki, reported that it had discovered the campsite used by the expedition when it portaged around the Great Falls of the Missouri River.
Karsmizki believes he also has evidence of the site of Ft. Clatsop at the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon, where the explorers spent the winter of 1805-06.

Numerical study of the chatter phenomenon in orthogonal turning
- 79 Downloads
Chatter is a destructive phenomenon for the surface quality of the workpiece, it occurs during machining when the system (tool-workpiece-machine) vibrates in self-excited mode. It is present by side effects such as bad surface quality, excessive noise, disproportionate tool wear. This work presents a numerical approach to establish cutting stability lobes in orthogonal metal turning. The Abaqus software is used to perform the simulations, the Johnson-Cook laws are considered for the workpiece material strength and fracture, and the Coulomb law is retained for the friction between the workpiece and the tool. An explicit scheme and the Lagrangian formulation are used for the numerical simulations. The tool is considered having longitudinal flexibility, and the thermal conductivity of the workpiece and the tool is introduced. The surface smoothness in then examined, using the arithmetic average roughness. The results are compared firstly to experimental results from literature to validate the approach. Secondly, the results are compared to numerical results from literature obtained by the MSC MARC software basing on an implicit scheme and a stick-slip arctangent friction between the workpiece and the tool.

Thursday Triple is a weekly roundup of Indie Games from around the Net.
Get your trigger-fingers warmed up, because this week welcomes games that love covering your screen in bullets, explosions, and great cosmic fireballs.
Throwback – RefleX
By SITER SKAIN
Part of the Tale of ALLTYNEX Trilogy, the original Japanese release of this game in 2008 finally received English localization after a successful Kickstarter campaign last year. Now it's appeared on Steam, and I had a chance to take a look at the classic vertical-scrolling SHMUP.
Like most bullet-hells, RefleX is tough as nails. It's fast, but unlike others in the genre, it actually encourages the player to let go of the trigger from time to time in order to get the best score. I'll be covering RefleX in a full review later this month. Until then, for a bit of arcade fun, peruse the video trailer below.
RefleX is available now on Steam for $7.99.
Steam Early Access – Broforce
By Free Lives
Equally chaotic and just as chock-full of destruction is Free Lives's Broforce. This platformer revels in explosions and constantly pokes fun at the macho-mentality associated with fellows that pronounce the United States as "'MURICA!'" Whether you prefer fighting terrorism with recognizable weapons like machine guns, or go for the unconventional American-cuisine-grenade to give your enemies a "taste of freedom" (not my words, I swear), your little character will splatter the screen with pixel blood in the great name of democracy.
Oh. And the terrain is destructible. Because the only thing more fun than blowing up terrorists is blowing up your friends in co-op.
Broforce is available now on Steam Early Access for $14.99.
Up and Coming – Cosmochoria
By Nate Schmold
Sometimes, though, we have to take a break from all this destruction and consider rebuilding life (if only so that we can start the cycle again). For this purpose, your character in Cosmochoria has taken it upon himself to go out into the universe to plant seeds across barren planets. You aren't alone out there, of course. An ancient race of aliens will see your progress and try to stop you with whatever means they can.
So take your laser blaster and spread some happiness. It all seems so peaceful until you get attacked by space-dragons.
Find Cosmochoria on Kickstarter.

Dry, or dehydrated skin? Before finding a solution to your dehydrated complexion, here's a quick lesson on the difference between "dry" and "dehydrated" skin:
• Dry skin, or alipoid skin, generally refers to type of skin predisposed to inadequate production of the skin's natural oils.
• Dehydrated skin is characterized by lack of moisture ,dehydration is a lack of water, not oil, so even oily skin types can be dehydrated .
Natural Handcrafted Soap help you to Shop for Dehydration-and-dryness
Using Oatmeal Soap– Oatmeal provides numerous health benefits, but oatmeal soap is also good for your skin. It is effective for both dehydrated skin and dry skin.

Do you think choosing an engagement ring together would mean you are ditching the traditions or you don't trust your beau with his choice? Well, he's got a wonderful choice, we all know that; that's why you are sitting next to him, but an engagement ring isn't just a tradition, but an ornament you are going to wear your whole life through. So it's important to choose it together so you both are happy about it.
Even if the guy goes to buy an engagement ring alone, he can pick one of those pretty Antique Ruby Engagement Rings, andyou'd surely be happy with it, butwhat if she wanted to Buy Sapphire Engagement Ring? Going together makes the choice easier and is an important step you take together.
How does the girl feel about it?
Obviously, any girl would feel honored for being given a chance to choose her own engagement ring. She would be assured that her would be husband believes in taking important decisions with her and that he is open minded, flexible and frank. Many girls grow up thinking how they want their engagement ring to be, and when they are given a chance to choose, they feel special and privileged.
How does the guy feel?
Those who think buying an engagement ring is a task more complicated than choosing the girl who wears it, certainly, it's a sigh of relief to know she's coming along for choice. Those who don't want to disclose the budget can secretly tell the budget to the store representative to show rings within that price range. Even if she figures out the price, it's a blessing in disguise as after all you two are going to spend the life together and there shouldn't be financial secrets.
Choosing a ring can really be a cumbersome task as before you get to choose the ring, you got to choose the store first. Buying an engagement ring online can be unfussy, time saving and safe. However, it is important that you choose an established and renowned online jewelry store for this important purchase of yours.
Buying an engagement ring together can be fun, and it also gives you a chance to know your partner better. The future purchases and surprise become easy so buy an engagement ring together and he'd exactly know what surprise you'd love for the next upcoming event; be it your wedding night, first birthday after wedding or your first wedding anniversary.

I've had a really busy couple of weeks. I've been to the beach twice, done Laser Tag, caught up with friends who have finished school for the year, gone to a Minecraft LAN day at ThinqTanq, applied for a place on the National Art & Design Saturday Club at PCA, read Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne, went to a 'Titanic' workshop at the STEM centre at City College Plymouth, went to the Plymouth Young Contemporary Open at Radiant and Peninsula galleries, had my second skateboarding lesson at Prime (and met Stefani Nurding!), took part in the most recent (and final!) Splatfest (Team Callie!), and I went to see Ghostbusters at the Reel!
All that on top of my usual weekly activities.. so I haven't had time to update my blog with daily sketches or anything else! This post is a giant catch up of all my favourite sketches that I've done in the past fortnight.
This page is full of fanart, apart from the character in the welder's mask which is my own. As well as anime and manga inspired fanart, I've done my own versions of Alice Kensington's "Colour Catchers" (Rainbowjam patreon) and Emma Baker's "Gutsie" (Ghoulkiss patreon). Both of these amazing artists recently graduated from Plymouth College of Art so please support them and share their work if you can!
Yes it is a lot of fanart but I enjoy it! I plan to do a couple of posts this week on local events Ive been to recently so check back later!

|What stood out, other than the yellow Corvette, was the hanging key ring. I used to feel self-conscious about it, but my pockets are always so full of dirt that hanging the keys is the best thing for them. Also, because I have locked myself out of my house once too often so the keys have become like a security blanket telling me that I can go home if I want to.
Thanks for the blog; I enjoyed it and I know your mother is proud of you!

|Greene, I've been meaning to reply for months. In my right pocket I've got two key rings I can't live without. In addition a third key ring partially inserted with the belt-loop handle hanging out for easy access.
Sure, I could put them all on one good ring. Actually, that would never work! LOL. One ring is dedicated to the absolute necessary spares (truck/house/mom's house), those insure vehicle and a dry place to sleep. I got tired of the jingle on my body but every time I hear the sound I see my Dad. I don't mean to sound like a loon. As a youngster my bedroom was nearest the front door of our house. I'd hear him park in the drive or on the street and hear him jingle-jangle all the way to the door and wait for the quiet pause as he reached into his pocket for the (separate) house keys.
Talk about a security blanket, it was always good to know he was home. Long, long time ago but it meant a lot.
A psychologist would charge good money to examine such memories and behavior!
I've had another blog post half-written awaiting a tool delivery. It's not an endorsement or recommendation (nor as entertaining as a good memory) but I hope to make it a useful comparison of the various bed edging tools I own and use and their particular applications. There are two others I want to purchase and compare. Old dog/new trick potential, the 100 year old standard will be hard to beat but worth a look. I had a great deal of difficulty procuring what I wanted by taking delivery of "improved" models already owned. I've been eyeing some nice European varieties but I wanted to stay true to an old favorite.
Have a great day!

|Keys = security.
I had never thought of a key representing security; always took keys for granted. Children don't have keys (or at least they didn't back in the day) and adults have keys. Simple.
For several months I was volunteering at our homeless shelter and soup kitchen. I befriended on older man. I was there for him when he wanted to talk, or needed a ride to the store or the doctor, gave him free haircuts, whatever was needed. One day his name made it to the top of the list and he was able to finally get out of the homeless shelter and into an apartment of his own. Lots of people helped him to get settled, donating whatever they could so he would have a place to sit, dishes and pots/pans for cooking, etc.
After most everyone else left he and I stood in the doorway to admire his new home. He was beaming with joy.
He reached into his pocket and, using just two fingers, he held up a single key. For a moment I thought he wanted me to lock his door for him.
He said, "Do you know what this means? This means I have a place to go and no one can keep me out."
I'll bet your father was as proud of his jingle-jangle keys as this man was of his single key.
No psychologist needed.
You are perfectly normal.

It's been a wile since I last posted anything. I've written plenty and just decided it wasn't right. That's why I've been gone so long. I was here, but not posting.
Depression has hit me pretty hard. Today… today I'm at an all time low. Today has been a combination of crushing depression and intense anger that isn't aimed at anything in particular.
The depression is a combination of things. It's been a long day. I'm tired. There's something else there, though. Something I've kept to myself for the past week.
The anger is a combination of having too many people in the house today for too long. It's also because it's nearly 80 outside and the stove was on for half the day. My son is wide open and I can only handle so much when I spend all day every day with him. There's something else here, too. The very same thing I've kept to myself.
You see, I'm not a fan of Christmas. It's a traditional holiday for my family and not a religious one. We don't pray before we eat. There is none of that crap. The kids open presents and the adults take pictures and all that good crap.
And there I go again. Getting angry. Remember, it's really hot in the house.
All week I've listened to people I know make plans and talk about what they're getting for other people. The stupid bastards have even dropped hints at what I should get for them. I'll give you a hint at what I got them all, in bulk. The first letter of the first word is N. The first letter of the second word is S. Not Shit. The very same thing they got me while expecting me to get something for them.
A friend of mine and my husband's is in town. He was in basic training and has to go back in a few days. He's staying with some other friends of ours that have talked about all the stuff they're getting for him to take back with him. This has spurred my husband into talking about what he wants to get for our friend. This has pushed my anger and depression for the last week.
I get that he has things that he needs because they aren't being supplied to him, I do, but this is pissing me off and making me so incredibly sad. I want to get him something, but it isn't happening and if my husband decides to do it anyway… well, we're gonna have some things to talk about.
The truth is we can't afford to buy anything for someone else. We got lucky that we were able to get our son toys and books. I did not get anything. I couldn't afford to get my husband anything. Notice I didn't say that he didn't get anything? Yeah. He got a $25 Gamestop gift card from the same friend we can't get anything for. He got another one from a coworker.
I'm not gonna lie, it hurts that everyone always forgets me. This isn't the first time and it won't be the last. It sucks, but that's how it is. You would think I could deal with disappointment like this, but I honestly can't. I dread someone telling me 'We'll see' and acting like they got you something and it turning out to be nothing. I read into the way people act too much sometimes and hurt myself.
There is a bright spot today, at least. My son had a really good day. His smiles are contagious and chase the darkness away for a little while. At least his day was good. I can deal with the heartbreak a little better thanks to his smiles and laughs.

That was our weekend that was: Netflix in bed and Chiswick Thames Walk
Links with a * are cheeky little affiliate links
From lounging about in pyjamas watching Netflix, to getting out and about on a Chiswick Thames Walk, it was a well rounded weekend!
We have a bit of a ritual in our house called 'pyjama party'. This isn't a pyjama party in the traditional, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic sense. It doesn't involve face packs, spin the bottle or spooky tales by candlelight.
What it does mean is that everyone rushes to get into their pyjamas and settle in front of a film (ie Netflix although we've recently succumbed to Amazon Prime too. Never mind the hundreds – and I do mean hundreds – of DVDs that we've collected over the years and which have now become obsolete by streaming (who would have guessed?) but which we can't bear to part with.)
Eliminating arguments over 'what shall we watch now'
We've obliterated film rows by introducing a system whereby we rotate whose turn it is to pick a film. On their last turns Chiswick Boy and Chiswick Daddy have each picked an episode of Doctor Who (we're box setting this from David Tennant onwards via Netflix and have *just got onto the first Peter Capaldi series).
On Friday night it was my turn – and I chose the *80s flick War Games which I've never seen. It's worth it alone for the massive computers, green and white monitors and hacking via dial up landline.
On Saturday we were meant to head ooop North to see Grandad (my father-in-law, well Chiswick Daddy and I aren't married but you know what I mean). But Chiswick Boy had fallen down with a temperature and sore throat over night (as kids do), so in the end Chiswick Daddy went on his own and left Chiswick Boy and I home alone.
So Chiswick Boy and I spent the majority of Saturday in our double bed by turns napping and watching films on Netflix. We watched:
- *Arctic Blast (my choice) – a charmingly rubbish Australian disaster movie with an implausible plot. Which did remind me that I used to watch disaster movies with my mum when I was about Chiswick Boy's age – The Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure, that icky one with killer ants, the other icky one with killer bees…
- *Chicken Run (Chiswick Boy's choice) – a heart-warming Great Escape retold for the chicken generation. Including the voice of Jane Horrocks – what happened to her? Is she still around?
3. Harriet the Spy (my choice) – a lovely 80s kids movie based on the book, which I must get for us. Basically any kids film with the word 'spy' in is going to be an instant hit.
Low-carb diet
I hadn't mentioned this yet on my blog but I've been doing the low-carb diet for almost three weeks now. I haven't mentioned it for a couple of reasons: firstly I'm cautious about mentioning weight loss on this blog. On the whole I think writers and bloggers should embrace the body positive and self-love.
Secondly, I spend my time on this blog chatting about what we get up to at weekends and don't really talk about me that much.
However, going low-carb has been a massive part of my life for the last few weeks so it's probably about time I mentioned this here.
I've eliminated more or less (I say more or less because I know what I'm about to list is hidden in many foods, so it's silly for me to say eliminated) – sugar, flour/wheat, potatoes, corn, peas. The only thing I was meant to give up was my cappuccino because of the lactose (sugar) in milk. But you know me – giving up coffee would be like cutting off my left arm. I would still be able to write but it would be a major detriment to my life.
I lost four pounds the first week and only two pounds the second week, but I'm persevering because one of the main side effects has been that I feel a lot calmer and less anxious.
I've become so evangelical about it (you're like an ex smoker, Chiswick Daddy groans) that I will probably do a blog post just about this soon.
Stir crazy
On Sunday Chiswick Boy was feeling a bit teary as he missed his dad so I frogmarched him into clothes and we set off for an adventure.
The intention was to walk up the river to Chiswick Pier for their open day with a pit stop at Cafe Rouge for breakfast (after a quick search on my phone for Cafe Rouge vouchers which unearthed a two for one breakfast deal valid until 1pm on Sundays – bingo. It might seem a bit tight-wadish but does anyone actually go into Cafe Rouge or Pizza Express without googling for vouchers first?)
Breakfast was okay – nothing special. I did get avocado and spinach with my veggie breakfast which was a nice touch. (I gave the baked beans and bread to Chiswick Boy – see my low carb diet bit above!). Coffee was dire though. It seems to be harder and harder to get a decent coffee these days, even in that Mecca for coffee shops, Chiswick.
Chiswick Thames Walk
We love to look at the abandoned boats in Watermans park. I often wonder what stories these once grand husks and hulls could tell.
As you may know (because I'm always banging on about it) we used to live on a boat near Kew Bridge. And nowadays I dream about getting a little rowing boat and using it to explore the river at weekends.
This weekend, the fisher people (is that even a correct phrase? They did seem to be all fisher men to be fair) were out in full force, taking advantage of the low tide and all hoping for a catch of the day.
Another favourite pass time while walking on this stretch is admiring the floral displays outside the houses of the unbelievably lucky folk who live on what is my favourite path in England.
Water water everywhere
This water fountain harks back to a more civilised time. Wouldn't it be lovely if you could get chilled drinkable water on tap while strolling through London?
Not a more civilised time really come to think of it. Chiswick Boy would be shoved up a chimney somewhere, and I wouldn't probably be in a roadside cavern drowning my sorrows in cheap as chips gin and chatting up a highwayman.
Hard to walk up the Thames Path
Once we got past picturesque Strand on the Green we had to do lots of walking on the road to try and follow the Thames Path. I'd forgotten how terrible the North Side of the Thames Path is compared with the South Side.
It was also eerily quiet. I turned down one little alleyway near a boat house and had such a terrible feeling of foreboding that I had to turn Chiswick Boy around and make us walk back towards civilisation.
Eventually we did what any self-respecting adventurer does – we gave up. We crossed Chiswick Bridge and went into the Ship for cold glasses of lemonade (Chiswick Boy) and Soda Water (moi), which we took into the pub garden where they had the men's singles finals on.
A beautiful craft cafe in Sheen
We strolled into Sheen and found the most gorgeous cafe: the Robin Craft Cafe at 38 Sheen Lane. A Vietnamese-English cafe with the most gorgeous cappuccino I'd had for days.
Unfortunately my camera ran out so I haven't got any photos. I'll just have to go back!
Or perhaps it's just time to buy myself a digital camera – what do you think?
Links with a * are cheeky affiliate links. Thanks for clicking through if you do. For clarity, we visited all the cafes, pubs and restaurants mentioned above incognito and nothing was gifted to us. 🙂

Google to invest $1 billion at Lyft, would fight Uber
A massive $1 billion investment into Lyft by Google could fight Uber in a big way
By: Anthony Garreffa | Technology in Vehicles News | Posted: Sep 15, 2017 3:47 am
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Google seems to be well and truly done with Uber, with new rumors from Bloomberg that its parent company Alphabet, are preparing a massive $1 billion into Uber's main competitor: Lyft.
Uber is currently in the process of trying to secure more funding, with Lyft set to expand into Canada - which would be its first international expansion. Google's relationship with Uber has continued its downward spiral for a while now, with Google pumping $258 million into Uber - and is now suing the ride-sharing giant as Uber allegedly stole thousands of plans from Google's self-driving company, Waymo.

As we approach summer ....
Just a reminder to everyone out there to use sunscreen - everyday!
I've been experimenting with a few but don't want to advertise any of them here.
I seem to be hearing more and more in the media that, aside from concerns about skin cancer, if you want to look younger longer, wear sunscreen everyday - even on days when it's cloudy.
I won't rant and rave about the poor choices we as Canadians have (loaded with oxybenzone) because the good stuff is very expensive and truth be told, I think that even a sunscreen with oxybenzone in it is better than nothing.
Over the past 9 months or so, I've had several more spots blasted with liquid nitrogen to remove them before they get a chance to turn cancerous. The good thing is that I can recognize some of them now and get on them right away. This of course wasn't the best news, especially after going through the Efudex treatment but my Dr. said that because skin damage is cumulative, it can take months or years for existing damage to become noticeable to the naked eye.
I suspect another round of Efudex is in my future, but I'll deal with it when the time comes.
The good thing is that I was recently told by a Dr. who deals with skin everyday that she never would have guessed I was 50. Thanks Efudex! ;-)
Final note for today: if you have access to preventative health care and or insurance, especially if you are fair skinned or have plenty of moles - ask your Dr. to refer to you a Dermatologist that can do a skin map to keep an eye on areas of concern, and/or nip things in the bud. Skin cancer and pre-cancers are very treatable if caught early. The sooner the better, with less invasive methods of treatment involved.

I just started Efudex treatment on Tuesday night- this is Sunday morning and so far very little reaction. I came across your blog while searching for info on " lack of reaction after 5 days..." And now feel a bit silly for being concerned by that :-)
You're writing is entertaining and, although you went through Hell- or a reasonable facsimile thereof- you kept your sense of humor. Thank you for letting me and others know what to expect.
I hope my results are as great as yours have been; looking a few years younger would be awesome ;)
I teach at a university so the beginning of summer would have been a much better time to start this ( thanks doc, for your consideration), but u was going through the agony of having a squamous cell carcinoma removed from my leg. That's really sexy BTW.
Have a good Sunday and keep. blogging!
Thanks for writing Linda and you're most welcome! Yes, it may take a few days for things to start rocking but I'm sure you'll see a reaction start in the next few days.ReplyDelete
I'm not so sure I'd want to be going through treatment in the summer. I still remember how the low autumn sun felt on my raw skin. Ugh!
Hang in there!
I just stumbled upon your site. I'm on day 18. I seriously was trying not to laugh too much (pain) with your description of the blow torch and fire ants picnic. You totally put into words how it feels. Worst part is I haven't had reactions where I thought I would but have where I didn't. It would be nice if the doctors would explain better before you start what to expect. Not a great time when your married to a guy that loves to go for motorcycle rides. The thought of putting on my helmet could make me cry. :)ReplyDelete

Freelance writing gives you an advantage
'How to write a novel' is a challenge few authors can resist. Freelance writing is the door into the fiction publishing industry for virtually every writer, and for good reason. A freelance does the work on his or her own time and makes the sale later. No contract is involved, and before you've made a couple of sales, you probably won't have an editor's or publisher's expression of interest before plunging in and writing.
Freelance writing is the best school. Humans 'learn by doing,' and as a freelance you'll be your own boss. You'll progress at your own speed, decide what you want to write (not write what you're told to!) and you'll generate your own motivation. This is always the way to build strong foundations. The writing habits you're developing right now will support your career.
It might sound like a silly question, but ... where do you get started, to write a novel? Writing anything at all, from a letter or poem to a novel or thesis, comes down to a single starting point. Good writing. It's as simple as this: if you can write well, this ability is applicable to any project from a business email to an epic novel.
However, the subject — writing in general and fiction writing in particular — is quite large. There can be a lot to learn, especially if you're playing 'catch up.' Where to start is an extremely good question, and it's best answered by yourself!
Making a start in freelance writing, you have a major advantage on day one. As your own boss, you write what pleases YOU, so the learning process is fun ... and we all tend to be good at what we enjoy. The more fun it is, the better at it we get. Creating fiction is vastly rewarding. It can begin as a great hobby, and become a fine career.
Turn page to Fiction writing can be its own reward

I hope Ouhon and Akou realized during their meeting that Riboku was going to dispatch another commander.
The best course of action in my opinion would be Kyoukai barging in with a very small strike force like 100 men to take out one of the commanders quickly. Shin would be no good, he doesn't get on with Ouhon and lacks autonomy.
This way the bulk of the Hi Shin unit would still be in the center, preventing Riboku from launching an attack.
ps : and then Kyoukai marries Ouhon and they conquer the Galaxy ^^

Astronomy Lesson 02_09: Newton's Corpuscles of Light: So Close, but So Far....
Newton's contribution to the understanding of light. We learn about his corpuscles and how they are not waves. As we traverse the history of light and understand how it grows with time, we see how great minds tried to wrestle with big ideas as the ideas arose and the experiments that supported them became possible. We see their missteps and we learn from them. We also see how the science endeavor is a truly human one, with all our foibles and strengths on display.

.scapa - 16
Nose: sweet, caramel, vanilla, gentle, mild, round, fruits, apples
Palate: spicy, white pepper but also gentle, smooth and sweet vanilla
Finish: long, lingering, warm, nice spice, and a tiny marmalade (which is nice) bitter, dry. Later a metallic taste emerges, as if I am having a small piece of aluminium foil in my mouth. Otherwise it would have had a higher score.
Score: +++++
Conclusion: Very nice. There aren't too many negative things to be found in the bottle, aside from that I am not too enthusiastic about the little too gentle nose, and the metallic after-finish.
More info: The Scapa 16 is the only available Scapa as an official bottling. Earlier there have been a 12 and after that a 14, but both have been replaced by this elegant version of 16 years old, matured solely on ex-Bourbon casks. It is too bad the distillery is not open for visitors, because I would like to see the insides of this small distillery next time we are visiting the island of Orkney.

Standard bed sizes are based on standard mattress sizes, which vary from country to country. Bed sizes also vary according to the size and degree of ornamentation of the bed frame. Dimensions and names vary considerably around the world, with most countries having their own standards and terminology. In addition, two mattresses with the same nominal size may still have slightly different dimensions, due to manufacturing tolerances, amount of padding, and support type.
Memory foam consists mainly of polyurethane as well as additional chemicals increasing its viscosity and density. It is often referred to as "viscoelastic" polyurethane foam, or low-resilience polyurethane foam (LRPu). Higher-density memory foam softens in reaction to body heat, allowing it to mold to a warm body in a few minutes. Newer foams may recover more quickly to their original shape.[1]
A mattress is a large pad for supporting the reclining body, used as a bed or as part of a bed. Mattresses may consist of a quilted or similarly fastened case, usually of heavy cloth, that contains hair, straw, cotton, foam rubber, etc., or a framework of metal springs.[1] Mattresses may also be filled with air[1] or water.

One of the things I always tell bloggers is that you need to diversify your blogging income. As a freelancer, you just never know when a company may close, file for bankruptcy, change your commission rates, or any other number of factors. Thus, the only way to protect yourself from a constantly changing industry is to diversify!
Since the earliest days of my blog, I've been involved in affiliate marketing, advertising networks, and influencer networks. But while I believe in diversification, I'm not perfect and there are always networks and platforms that I prefer more than others and sometimes that has come around to bite me. For instance, Google used to have their own affiliate platform, Google Affiliate Network. It was clunky and outdated technology, but it somehow worked for me and it was through this network that I made the most money. Then, in 2013, they suddenly announced they were closing. It was about this same time that Illinois got hit with a Nexus Law, meaning Amazon kicked all of their associates in the state of Illinois out of the program.
Frankly, it was a rough time for me because even though I was doing everything right, companies were closing doors to me and there was nothing I could do about it. From that point on I decided to double down on my income diversification efforts, and I can't stress enough that my fellow bloggers should do the same. Having multiple streams of blogging income is the only way to protect yourself from the fickleness of the industry.
[clickToTweet tweet="Having multiple streams of blogging income is the only way to protect yourself." quote="Having multiple streams of blogging income is the only way to protect yourself from the fickleness of the industry."]
If you want to diversify your blogging income, or are looking for more ways to do so, here are some ideas that will help you get started.
Ways to Diversify Your Blogging Income
Affiliate Marketing
Obviously, I am a huge proponent of affiliate marketing. With affiliate marketing, you earn a commission when someone purchases an item that you have promoted on your blog. You can get set up through one (or more) of the major affiliate networks (though I recommend starting with ShareaSale), or you can join private affiliate networks if there are products you really love and want to promote. For instance, I recently became an affiliate for the Skyrocket Your Pageviews ebook because I love how this step-by-step guide walks you through using Google Analytics to increase views on your blog. It's one of the best blogging-related ebooks I've purchased!
Regardless of what type of blog you have, there's surely an affiliate program that's a good fit for your content, and a product you can sell without being too salesy.
Advertising Networks
Using an advertising network to fill sidebar space in your blog – or even space within the posts themselves – is a great way to diversify your blogging income. Of course, everyone knows about Google Adsense, but there are tons of different networks out there that are available to bloggers.
Most advertising networks work on a cost per thousand (CPM) model, meaning that all you need to do is place the ad on your site and you will earn money based on every thousand pageviews each ad receives. It doesn't get much easier in terms of passive income, although most will find that they need to have decent traffic to start making money from advertising networks.
There are so many different advertising networks for bloggers, including Amazon, BlogHer, Chitika, Infolinks, Media.net, Sovrn, and more. Before joining any network, be sure to check the terms and conditions as some may demand exclusivity (meaning they're the only ones that will place ads on your site) while others offer more flexibility or make no demands at all.
Private Ads
If you want to place ads on your site but aren't keen to go through an advertising network, private ads may be an option for you. You can place private ads anywhere you want on your site, but the one key difference between going with this option instead of an advertising network is that you do all of the work yourself. You'll need to find advertisers, gather the ad artwork, physically place the ads on your site (and replace them when the terms run out), and collect payment. It can be a lot of work, but there are plugins that will help you keep track of everything, including:
Influencer Networks
Let's be honest: All bloggers should join influencer networks. Why? They will help you secure paid campaigns, be it sponsored posts, video creation, social media posts or anything in between. They are typically free to join, although some have minimum requirements – such as page view requirements – and once you're a member you will receive regular updates about campaigns that may be a good fit for you. From there, it will generally be up to you to complete a brief application stating why you would be a good fit for the campaign and then the network will decide if you can participate.
Some of the major influencer networks that I recommend include:
Sponsored Posts
A sponsored post is basically an advertisement, except that you are typically given the leeway to write exactly what you want. You can book sponsored posts through influencer networks, but you can also reach out to companies directly, or wait for them to reach out to you with opportunities.
Social Media
While blogging used to be THE thing, many are now finding their social media accounts to be more lucrative and are using that to their advantage.
We've written about how to make money on Instagram and how to make money on Pinterest, including by posting affiliate links on Pinterest, but that barely scratches the surface of the different types of endorsement opportunities that exist for social media. It literally pays to get creative with social media!
The thing I will say about focusing on a social media account to make money is that you really need to have an engaged following on the outlet you want to monetize. (Nope, you don't have to monetize all of them if you don't want to!) To go this route, focus on getting more Instagram followers or more Pinterest followers, and then enjoy the rewards of your focus!
Sell Your Own Products
Are you creative in some way? Can you create something that others need? If so, one of the ways you might diversify your blogging income is to sell something you've made. Maybe this is an e-course or an ebook. Maybe you have an Etsy shop, sell digital products on Creative Market or work for a direct sales company. The sky is the limit!
Sell a Service
If you don't have a product that you want to sell, another way to diversify your blogging income is to sell a service. For instance, our contributor Tiffany is a fantastic writer and offers freelance writing services for other bloggers. Or, perhaps you're great at social media and want to become a social media manager. If you can do a little bit of everything, you might consider becoming a virtual assistant.
Personally, I love helping other bloggers so I just started offering blog critiques and blog post reviews, but your own service can be anything that you excel at and that's of interest to you. If there's something you can do that others may need help with, go ahead and start selling your services!
Have a Membership Site
It probably won't work for all types of blogs, but one way to diversify your blogging income is to start a membership site. This means that your readers will pay for access to your content. For an example of how this is done, look no further than the infamous Kardashian and Jenner sisters. Each of their sites has some free content, but the majority of it is behind a paywall that you will need to pay $2.99 per month to access. Many newspapers are also following this format online, where they will offer a few posts a month for free and then beyond that you need to pay for a subscription.
The Sky is the Limit
There's really no right or wrong way to diversify your blogging income. Don't force it, though. Instead, try to come up with ideas that are within your skill set and that will add to what you're already doing on your blog.

Hi I'm Kyle
I perform stand-up comedy, and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am a dabbler. I enjoy hiking mountains, reading books, watching movies, writing short stories and personal essays, composing music, and performing stand-up comedy. Except for my love for my family, my commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ is perhaps the only thing about me that never seems to change.
Why I am a Mormon
I have felt a very personal connection to God throughout my life, and I have repeatedly found that the strength of that connection depends upon how dedicated I feel to my religious convictions. Trying to be a good Mormon has invariably drawn me closer to God and helped me to get more satisfaction out of life.
How I live my faith
My wife and I read the Book of Mormon together every morning before we part ways for the day. We pray together every night before going to sleep. We attend church together every Sunday. Once a month, I get to teach a Sunday school class on various gospel topics. I believe that the best way for me to live my faith is to be friendly, honest, and helpful to everyone I meet.

GraceIt's the defining mark of Christianity, but we know so little about it.
It's given to us in abundance by God, but we have trouble extending it to others.
I'm thinking we might do a series on it next year.
What are your thoughts?

Britney, Federline agree holiday visitation for kids
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Washington (ANI): Pop star Britney Spears and her ex-husband Kevin Federline have agreed on a holiday visitation schedule for their two kids after a custody hearing in Los Angeles on Nov 26. Details of the visitation schedule were not released, reports People.
The hearing began with a lawyer for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services requesting that the agency be granted full access to the former couple's all files - in particular documents, which have been redacted. The lawyer requested to remove media before he addressed the court.
The couple was not present in the court and their next scheduled hearing is set for Jan. 23. Spears, who only has twice-weekly access to her sons, Preston, 2 and Jayden James, 1, including an overnight, took them to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills for a brunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches during Thanksgiving. Later that afternoon, the pop star dropped them at Federline's home.

Is it wrong to target the same terms as your competitors?
Keyword targeting is essential if you want to stand a chance at driving the right type of traffic to your website. Whilst there is nothing wrong with targeting the same terms your competitors are, proceed with caution as some keyword targeting could be seen as black-hat practice and cost you a penalty.
What is black-hat practice?
Black hat is the name used by SEO gurus for unethical ways of optimising your site to game the search engines. Search engines have such sophisticated algorithms these days that enable black-hat practices to be quickly spotted and penalised.
So, what differentiates good from bad when it comes to targeting your competitors' keywords?
The good
Competitor research is a fundamental exercise when setting your online objectives. A competitor analysis enables you to measure your online presence against that of your competitors and understanding the level of rapport required to reach or their benchmark. Part of that competitor research is understanding what keywords your competitors are using and noting their rankings.
There are a number of tools you can use to identify the search terms your competitors have optimised their site pages for.
Screaming Frog and Xenu are two programmes that output a list of URLs for HTML pages. Part of this data includes the page title, which contains the main keyword used for that particular page.
You may already have a working list of keywords you're targeting, but using Screaming Frog or Xenu allows you to compile a full list of keywords that your industry competitors are targeting. These might coincide with what you are already targeting. Or, you might find new keywords to target.
Once you have a developed set of keywords, you can then find out where each competitor ranks for each of these keywords, against where you rank. You can check these rankings by hand if you wish, however there are two things to bear in mind when doing this:
1 – Do an incognito search and make sure you aren't logged into Google. This will prevent you from getting a results page based on your location, which isn't the same as others would see.
2 – If you conduct too many Google searches in a short space of time, Google will disrupt your search by blocking certain actions.
As an alternative to laboriously checking rankings by hand, you can use programmes such as Web CEO and Serps.com.
These programmes work by scanning your list of keywords for one competitor at a time and outputting a ranking for each one depending on the search engine you have asked it to output rankings for (you can select multiple).
Granted, it may take a few hours to scan each individual competitor and involve manual intervention at the beginning and end when you set the scan and then export the results, but the results are more accurate, meaning less human error and more time to be getting on with other SEO tasks.
Tracking your competitors' keyword performance like this and bench marking your own means you can see where you are positioned and plan a strategy for monthly activity to work on specific keywords and improve their rankings beyond that of your competition.
Where you rank is important in determining the level of traffic your site receives. For example, on the first page of Google, position 1 receives 32.5% amount of traffic for a search, position 2 receives 17.6%, position 3 gets 11.4%, position 4 gets 8.1% and position 5 gets 6.1%.
So, you see, one position difference can be a big deal, especially for a search that has a reasonable high volume, such as 1,000 searches per month.

The Bad
As with anything SEO related, there's a host of red tape around any practice. In the capacity of competitor keywords, this comes down to an issue of ethics. Using a competitor brand name or branded product name is considered a black-hat practice in the SEO arena.
Optimising your sites pages for a competitor's brand might seem like an unlikely route but many a business desperate to outrank their competitors have used these types of tricks to get noticed in the search engine results pages.
One of these techniques, which Google has fortunately clamped down on, involves companies hiding or masking the keywords on a page so that the text is visible to search engine spiders, but invisible to users visiting the page. Such jiggery-pokery includes adding text in the same colour as the background so it can't be seen by the human eye.
This is most certainly considered spammy practice in the eyes of Google as it appears unnatural in the webpage content. Even if you do get past the gates of Google and your site gets indexed, it's likely to get rumbled at some point and probably cost you a fair penalty, such as a drop in rankings or a delisting at worst.
In certain cases, keyword optimisation for your competitors' brand terms is acceptable, such as in the case of PPC (pay-per-click). Businesses often bid on other business' brand keywords so that they appear in the list of secondary, tertiary etc ad spots under the one that was searched for. This is so that the user is presented with similar companies that offer the same service or products to that of the competitor that was searched.
Technically bidding on competitor brand name is not banned by Google, however there is still a debate over whether or not this is ethical. If a business using a competitor brand name outranks that actual brand with a higher ad spot because its ad copy was more relevant to search, this is arguably unethical.

Guidance and ideas how to treat the new approach in our life... DO NOT WORRY, BE HAPPY
With a big joy, hapiness and relief I am sharing the following link to a speech of Wayne Dyer called The Power of Intention.
Everything I provide in my seminars and webinars is said there in a very clear and understandable way…. We have a choice…and there is a way to the happiness….
Well actually, as Wayne says in one of his sentences…. THERE IS NO WAY TO HAPINESS, HAPINESS IS THE WAY…
You have an option to get the answer on any question by the guidance which he provides. Do you ask yourself what is my purpose? How to open my creativity? How to "find the way" to my kids, wife or how to earn more or how to be healthy…?
More on this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBdf0sCXYJI&feature=related
The second part exists also it is right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJJLhz2duNo
With wishes of good luck on your way with this new approach and with love,

Top Three Businessmen of Bangladesh
Bangladesh's Business Sector
Bangladesh, which was part of the Indian sub continent in the past, maintained a long trade heritage since the early eighteen century. The corporate culture nevertheless came into light after Bangladesh liberated from Pakistan in 1971. Since than to this day, many Bangladeshi businessmen have shown their creativity, enthusiasm, energy & professionalism to take Bangladesh in the right direction.
Here is the list of top three businessmen of Bangladesh:
Jahurul Islam
Jahurul Islam – The Father of Bangladeshi Business
Very few men have a profound and lasting effect on the world. Jahurul Islam is one of the rare few. His glorious life transformed the industries of Bangladesh to such a tremendous extent that his influence is still being felt nearly two decades after his death. It is little wonder then that Jahurul Islam is known generally as "The Father of Bangladeshi Business".
The beginnings of Jahurul Islam's influence can be seen in 1964 with his founding of the Islam Group. The Islam Group features a diversified collection of companies from a variety of industries such as marketing, construction, real estate, international trade, and finance. With the guidance, leadership, and foresight of Jahurul Islam, the Islam Group has been propelled to prominence as Bangladesh's largest business group.
As a true pioneer in business, Jahurul Islam showed genuine compassion for the employees of the Islam Group. The signs of his concern can still be seen in the benefits offered to employee such as medical facilities, pensions, accident compensation, and on-the-job training. Of course, such a positive work environment creates happy workers and yields
more efficient results.
Jahurul Islam recognized that success brings the responsibility to give back to one's country. In this regard, he made great contributions to the good of Bangladesh. Jahurul Islam founded the Jahurul Islam Medical College and Hospital in 1989. The large hospital contains some 500 beds, emergency and general medical facilities as well as medical training.
Following his death in 1995, the Islam Group was divided into three parts – the Islam Group, the Navana Group, and the AFTAB Group. It is a testament to the lasting greatness of Jahurul Islam that all three of the groups continue to lead the business sector of Bangladesh to this day, AFTAB Group being the most dominant one. The grand influence of Jahurul Islam, the Father of Bangladeshi Business, truly continues to be felt today.
Samson H. Chowdhury
Samson H. Chowdhury – The Making of an Era
Few men make enough of an impact upon a country and upon a time so as to have an era named after them. Without the shadow of a doubt, Samson H. Chowdhury was such a man. The glorious, influential life of one of Bangladesh's greatest figures ended January 5, 2012. He was 86 years old in 2012.
Samson H. Chowdhury founded the Square Group and guided it to the top of Bangladeshi conglomerates with more than 33,000 employees. Much of Chowdhury's success was his ability to see the big picture even while all of those around him were focused solely on a single tile in the mosaic. A large part of his vision was that businesses had a responsibility to conduct themselves in an ethical and just manner. His desire to provide a good role model through his behavior as well as his concern for the welfare of others set him apart from other businessman in Bangladesh. Like everything else in his life, Chowdhury was not satisfied with simply stating a philosophy of ethics and responsibility without accompanying action.
The evidence that he did indeed put his philosophy into action is great. He was the Chairman of Koinonia, which service those in need of education, health, and micro finance. Following the Liberation War in 1971, he established the Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh. The association of donors focused upon implementing a variety of projects assist those suffering from the ravages of war.
Samson H. Chowdhury was the founder and served as president of Bangladesh Association of Publicly Listed Companies. He was vice-president of International Chamber of Commerce, Bangladesh as well as the chairman of Central Depository Bangladesh Ltd. Bangladesh has certainly lost an amazing figure with the passing of Samson H. Chowdhury. However, the influences of this great man will be felt for a long time to come.
Business books
Salman F. Rahman
Born for Greatness- Salman F. Rahman
If one needs proof that some men are born for greatness, no clearer example exists than Salman F. Rahman. His father is Fazlur Rahman, formerly Pakistan's Home Minister and Education Minister, and his brother is Sohel F. Rahman, who is co-proprietor of the Beximco Group.
Along with his brother, Salman F. Rahman has worked tirelessly for nearly half a century for the good of his company and for the good of Bangladesh. Under his leadership and vision, the Beximco Group has risen to the top of the corporate world. However, he is not satisfied to simply rest upon his accomplishments. He continues to explore and expand
into new endeavors within the group's numerous industries which include pharmaceuticals, ceramics, textiles, media and property development.
Of course, success in business is only a single part of a successful life. Salman F. Rahman certainly recognizes this fact. That is why he has shown such enormous generosity in his efforts to fight poverty and to support human rights as well as other worthwhile causes.
Within the Beximco Group, Rahman in his incredibly broad vision has striven to establish a culture of Corporate Social Responsibility. With such a business philosophy, Salman F. Rahman has carried the Beximco Group far beyond its position as the largest private sector entity in Bangladesh. Through its involvement in matters of regional and national interest, the Beximco Group has been transformed from simply an amazingly successful corporation into a force for positive change.
For most men having a hugely prosperous corporation with all of the power, respect and admiration that accompanies such success would be enough to cause them to rest upon the glory of past accomplishments. However, Salman F. Rahman is no ordinary man. This review of his achievements and generosity can only lead to the conclusion that Salman F. Rahman was truly born for greatness.
I Want to be a big businessman look likes them.but i don't know How can I start...
And i inspire to know and read this passage...
Thank You
Forceps delivery & hasina govt.
Forceps delivery has been band throughout the world due to its lots of complications BUT-------------.
Key Positions/Top Ranking Officials/ Head of the Departments------ have been appointed, under qualified, incompetence & Political personals + Nepotism -----------in order to be in the power= forceps delivery of services or compromise the best services delivery which leads many more complications than a Pregnant woman , do I have to mention those? I have seen many of them passing the roads with police protection as a VIP protocol , some of them personally known to me as my relatives or friends but in AUTHENTIC manner they don't have capacity /capability/eligibility to be my secretary or pion but I was walking by foots that's the reality ------------DR.SIRAJ , SOUTH AFRICA ---- firstname.lastname@example.com

Mainul islam.
Samson h chowdhuery is not only rich of money matter . He is real person of mankind.
Great hub.I liked what you wrote on Samson H. Chowdhury.
want to know the birth date and year of Jahurul Islam
Samson H. Chowdhury
Without arguing Salman F. Rahman is one the the great businessmen and asset of the country. But it also fact that this name is also involved with some controversy. I wish this successful businessman will clean all controversy surrounding him and uphold his reputation like as Samson H. Chowdhury.
I agree that Jahurul Islam was number one all the way. Did not know that the group was formed in 1964. I feel that if the group was not divided after his death, it would have flourished and also contributed more.
Good post you got here. I wrote one on Salman F Rahman some days back. Feel free to read my say on the man.
I agree with the first one only...
Jahurul Islam - number one all the way. Samson Chowdhury was an amazing person. I meet his twice. He was a positive man. Salman F Rahman proved his worth but has still got some time to enhance his reputation.
i wonder how much they make..

11, 12 Aug 2007
After almost three months, finally, last weekend I got out on my ride for a long one. I felt the free flow of fresh air all over me after a long time... The welcome to road was an awesome one with a rain. It was a wet start but thankfully we didn't get sunk. It was just a matter of few Kilometers and rain got disappeared somewhere leaving us a wet road.
We three guys and two bikes- Swami, Piston and myself rode to Ooty and Coonoor. I took the full luggage and Swami took Piston, the pillion. My bike is in the final stage of its running in and that was the only constrain for me - not to let the engine overdo.
Ride through the Bandipur forest in pitch-darkness, 36 continuous hair pins, steep climbs, a couple of stops in the middle of the forest to cool down the machines... a bit risky but exciting ride. Thanks to the guard at the check post who let us inside the forest at night.
I don't have words to thank our host at Coonoor, Biju. Opportunity to stay at his more than 100 yrs old Banglov was unexpected; Sorry for making him wait for us till midnight. Thanks for the special tea in the morning; I can't remember its name, but remember Biju saying that the leaf costs $600 per kg in the market.
If you don't plan anything, things happen unexpectedly. That is why seeing the old railway bridge, just headed to it, had a walk on it and spent almost an hour on it and around. Wow, more than 100 years old construction is perfectly intact.
Our Coonoor railway station visit too happened just like that. Good to have the majestic century old steam engines visited at the loco shed. The staff there is more than happy to let us in and explain things.
I can't forget one face we met outside the railway station. While walking back to the bikes...
"Hmm... it's nice to have all these protection gears when you are on a ride and especially when you ride a bullet"
On my right side, a foreigner... talking about bullet...
The gentleman is from Switzerland, touring India; we, bulleteers caught his attention. He looks almost 70 years old, but the energy in him is that of a teenager. Believe it, he did Leh from Delhi few weeks ago on a Bullet 500. He owns a Norton/Triumph at home in Switzerland and is an active member of one ride group there.
Seeing our enthusiasm about the old steam engine displayed outside the station, he asked us, "do you know where this engine was made". I thought it is somewhere in England. But he says it is from Switzerland and the old factory is just 20km away from his hometown. Interesting...
Unfortunately we didn,t have much time left to have more conversation with him. We wanted to finish the forest at daylight in the return ride. The ride was an experience- one of kind; saw elephants, peacocks and lots of other animals.
Reached home after midnight.
Oh... let me not miss this. An accident... but this was a very funny one. In the Mysore highway, on our way back, one plastic biker with a pillion overtakes us and forgets to take the curve to the right side. I don't know how to explain what happened after that. But if you have seen the motor cycle diaries and remember their first fall with the bike to outside the rode into water and slush... you know what we saw there. It was hard to hold our laugh till moving out of their sight.
The memories will stay evergreen. An unplanned ride and this unexpectedness was the thrill and that made this ride memorable. Thanks to Swami and Piston for the wonderful company and Biju for being a wonderful host.
Route: Bangalore - Mysore - Gundalpet - Bandiur - Mudumalai - Ooty - Coonoor

The Classroom as Playground.
Dinan, John S.
Students tend to think of writing as reporting the topography of their minds and souls guided by the assumptions that reality is "out there," that reality is relatively unproblematical, that the concepts they use are common to everyone and are therefore self-evident, and that they should and can abstract themselves from the processes of the worlds they write about. The teacher wants the students to conceive of a writer as a process within a process engaging in a process. A metaphor that helps define the role a teacher can play to achieve that is Teacher-as-Artist who deliberately creates disorder by disorienting the audience. However, teaching within that metaphor is likely to create considerable anxiety among students. This anxiety can be reduced by making the classroom into a playground where students can rehearse failure in a protected situation. Some techniques to help create this atmosphere include using group work as much as possible, stopping the use of syllabi, digressing a great deal, avoiding the assignment of one-shot papers, reading student journals and asking questions that lead to another entry, and assigning papers that grow out of each other.

Three Outlander trim levels can be had with front-wheel drive: the base ES, midlevel SE, and top XLS. A driver-selectable multi-mode 4-wheel-drive system is also available, with a convenient switch located on the dash that allows drivers to go from 2WD to 4WD auto or 4WD locked at a 50/50 torque split.
Two engines are available. The ES and SE trims sport a 2.4L I4 engine that produces 168 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque. The XLS trim upgrade to a 3.0L V6 that makes 220 horsepower and 204 lb-ft. All three models are paired with a 6-speed Sportronic automatic transmission while the SE and XLS models are equipped with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
The Outlander is particularly versatile. All three trims come with 100.4 cubic feet of passenger volume The ES seats five adults, while the SE and XLS adds seating for two children in a diminutive third row. All three trims have 39 cubic feet of cargo space in back. With all seats folded there is 72.6 cubic feet of cargo space to use for toting gear.
A nice touch is the 2-piece tailgate. The hatch pops open as expected, but leaves a short section still vertical. Fold this down and you have a "cargo extender" that will support 440-pounds. A hard plastic surface with cargo rails molded into both the tailgate and cargo deck make it easy to slide new purchases into and out of the Outlander.
Safety is built in with standard curtain and side-impact air bags for both the front and second row supplementing the front air bags. Active front headrests help to reduce injuries in rear-end crashes, and standard active skid control helps keep the vehicle pointed in the right direction. The brakes are all discs with ABS standard.
Some of the available Options that come with the 2009 Outlander are Power glass sunroof, FAST (Freehand Advanced Security Transmitter) key, 115V power outlet and 13 storage compartments, 6 CD/MP3 player, Rockford Fosgate premium audio system with nine speakers including an integrated, enclosed 10-inch rear subwoofer, 30-gig GPS and footlights.
The sporty leather steering wheel available on the XLS offers controls for the audio, cruise control, and even a button to engage your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. We like the use of faux brushed aluminum trim on the wheel, dash, and side panels.
The ES and SE achieves 20 MPG city and 25 MPG highway, while the LXS is rated at 17 MPG city and 25 MPG highway
Mitsubishi Outlander lineup for 2009 comes largely unchanged from the 2008 lineup.
The 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander offers large amounts of both sport and utility in a midsize package. An aluminum 3.0L V6 and 2.4L 4-cylinder, a firm suspension, and a relatively low center of gravity make the Outlander more spirited than other SUVs in the same segment. Compared to other vehicles in its class, the 2009 Outlander is priced well with a starting price of under $21,000.
A genuinely sporty SUV; low price; lots of equipment for the money.
