Japan Lotus Day, staged at the iconic Fuji Speedway and the largest annual gathering of Lotus fans anywhere in the world, gave an enthusiastic welcome to the Lotus Evija on the latest leg of its world tour.
The event is a car festival held in the foothills of Mount Fuji, 50 miles outside Tokyo. The festival was celebrating its 10th anniversary, with the all-electric Evija – the world's most powerful production road car – taking centre stage in front of more than 2,000 enthusiastic Lotus owners and fans.
The event culminated in a stunning parade around the Fuji Speedway circuit, featuring approximately 600 Lotus cars from across the company's successful road and racing history. It included a 1952 Lotus Six and various race cars from the 1960s, through to numerous examples of the Lotus Elan, Elise, Exige, 3-Eleven and Evora.
Also attracting attention was a Lotus 79, a championship-winning F1 car which took seven wins and nine pole positions, and through the genius of Lotus founder Colin Chapman kick-started the pioneering 'ground effect' era of aerodynamic development in F1.
The extraordinary number of Lotus cars on display reflects the brand's popularity in Japan, which stems in part from the 1970s when a Lotus Europa starred in a famous serialised adventure and racing 'manga' called The Circuit Wolf. Japan Lotus Day also features several races series, a concours d'elegance, circuit taxi rides and trade stands.
Shigenori Ogura, F1 commentator, journalist and Japan Lotus Day fan, said: "Japanese car enthusiasts are totally in love with Lotus. The fans who come to Fuji show so much passion for the cars – both old and new – that it really blows you away."
Prior to the event the Evija was guest of honour at the BH Auction, an exclusive automotive sales event in Tokyo. Attendees were given one-to-one access to the all-electric hypercar in a private viewing area.
Lotus legend Jim Clark – a national hero and one of the greatest drivers of his generation and a true motorsport icon – has been celebrated at the Bo'ness Revival Hillclimb 60 years after he competed at the event.

The new Lotus Evora 400 is the latest pure and focused supercar from Lotus, combining high performance with the legendary Lotus benchmark handling. It is faster and dynamically more capable than the previous Lotus Evora leading to greater agility and a more involving drive.
Chris Arnold (Graham Arnold's son) has been in discussions with the organisers of this historic carnival and suggested that they need something more to relate it back to the history of Hornsey. He has suggested adding to the parade a range of old Lotus cars to celebrate Hornsey as the birthplace of Lotus Cars and early home of Colin Chapman.
He is therefore looking for owners would like to drive in the parade in North London on Sat 4th July, 2-4pm.
Ideally he'd love to get a Patrick
McGoohan lookalike in a 7 and a Emma Peel lookalike in an Elan and would
also like to have a range of other Lotus cars too.
All those who enter will be in with a chance of winning a unique, one of a kind, V8 engine table. The competition – which was launched this week – will run until the 31 January 2015. To enter for free*, Footman James is encouraging people to :
An early morning "run" on some of the best and most scenic roads to be found in the Derbyshire Dales and Peaks (MSA sanctioned). A pre-ordered mid-morning breakfast at Hassop Station café. A procession in to the Chatsworth estate where we have our own parking/display area. The now famous MLOC catered picnic buffet Car of the Day vote and prize-giving. Last but not least the very well supported MLOC raffle.

Vitaly scored another couple of points as he finished P9 at the Shanghai International Circuit, while teammate Nick came home in P12.
• Both Vitaly and Nick ran two-stop strategies.
• Vitaly started on softs, took another set of softs on lap 17, and switched to hards on lap 37
• Nick also started on softs, took more softs on lap 18, then finally ran the hards from lap 30
A dramatic qualifying session saw Vitaly qualify in P10 and Nick in P16, after the Russian's car lost power and halted what could have been a very strong session for the team.
• Vitaly's car was halted when the air supply to the engine was cut off, causing the engine to lose power. At the moment we believe there is no reason to change the engine.
• Both Nick and Vitaly used one set of hard and soft tyres in Q1. Nick used two sets of softs in Q2, while Vitaly used one set.

What we learned today:
- The team measured the downforce produced by the car with some aero runs this morning. This involves running the car at constant speed on the straight. Everything ties up well with the wind tunnel figures.
- Initial set-up work was very productive and the team found some good directions.

Spiderbeam Fibreglass Poles & Accessories
Spiderbeam 12 metres (40 ft) Fibreglass Pole
Spiderbeam Heavy Duty fibreglass poles are perfect for building all kinds of wire antennas.
A single person can easily put them up within a few minutes. Especially developed to make our portable equipment even more rugged and durable!
These are extremely strong poles, with a much greater wall thickness (up to 2mm!) than the usual "fishing rod" types. A special reinforcing winding technique – several layers of fibreglass are wound in alternating direction (criss/cross winding) – provides greatly increased lateral and linear strength. Stronger joints are achieved by a much larger overlap between the individual tube segments than usual.

|12m (40ft)
|Transportation length
|1.18m (3ft 10″)

|Number of segments
|Pole material
|Black fibreglass, UV protected specially reinforced multilayer winding
Special top segment with eyelet (for 12 m pole)
This special top segment of our 12 m fiberglass pole, enables easy attachment of any kind of device to the tip of the pole. A custom-made stainless-steel eyelet is glued into the top with weatherproof and UV-resistant adhesive.
This special eyelet-segment replaces the standard top segment of the pole.
No further adjustments are necessary.
Inside diameter of the eyelet: 4,5 mm
Clamp set for 12 m fiberglass pole
Complete set: – Contains 11 stainless steel clamps with rubber padding.
(For portable installations, most people simply use sticky tape for locking the individual tube segments, and this works very well!)
However, clamps are the perfect method to securely lock the segments of the fiberglass mast for a long period. They are especially suitable for permanent installations and superior to all other locking mechanisms (tape, glue, cable ties…).
They have a very strong grip, yet they can be removed easily even after years of installation.
Install the clamps as follows:
Simply put one clamp at the very bottom end of each tube segment and tighten the clamp.
Here it will act as a stopper and prevent the tube from sliding downwards into the next bigger tube segment.
The rubber padding is made of a thick flat rubber band, protecting the mast against any damage from the clamps.
The rubber padding is made of a thick flat rubber band, protecting the mast against any damage from the clamps.
Consider adding a 7mm Nut Driver to your kit!
These can be purchased from your local tool store.
This tool makes the task of tightening and releasing the clamps a breeze!
Guy Belt for 12 metres Fibreglass Pole
This strong guy belt is an ideal method for quickly attaching guy ropes to the pole. The belt is very flexible and lightweight and transfers the forces into the mast over a very large area, thus preventing damage.
Simply slide the belt over the mast.
The belt rests at the bottom of the 8th segment with a diameter of 27mm (= approx. 7m height).
Attach 3 or 4 guy ropes (in 90° or 120° directions) and tie them to ground pegs at a distance of approx 5m from the pole.
Spreader Kit for 1 element Quad
The Quad Spreader Kit has been designed for building portable 1 element Quad loops mounted to our 12m Spiderbeam fiberglass pole. The Kit includes all needed parts, i.e. a metal center joint (with rubber padding) and two telescopic fiberglass tubes (4m long).
The metal center joint has very small packaging dimensions, as it can be disassembled completely. The kit is well suited for building a 1el Quad for 20m and all bands above.
The metal center joint is mounted to our 12m fiberglass pole at a height of 8m, letting the remaining upper 4m of the 12m pole protrude above the center joint. The two 4m long telescopic tubes are inserted into the left and right leg of the metal center joint. These two 4m long tubes are absolutely identical to the upper 4m part of the Spiderbeam 12m fiberglass pole.
Thus a quadratic cross with an 8m long diagonal is formed, enabling you to string quad loops of up to 22m circumference. The loops can be fed at the lower corner (i.e. approx 4-5m above ground). The resulting effective height of the loop is 8m above ground, ensuring a good radiation pattern.
Set of 2 spreaders & center joint for 1 element Quad

|Suitable for
|1 element Quads on 20/17/15/12/10/6 metres
Spiderbeam 18 metres (60 ft) Fibreglass Pole
Especially developed for successful portable low-band activities on 80 and 160m!
Imagine building a quick portable 80m 4-square array that you can put up within less than one hour…
A single person can easily "walk up" the pole within a few minutes.
Spiderbeam 18m (60ft) fibreglass poles are built very similar to our well proven 12m HD fibreglass poles, yet carefully designed to maintain low weight and perfect balance.
The pole starts out very rugged at the bottom (73mm diameter/2mm wall thickness) and still has 40mm dia /1.5mm wall thickness at 10m height! The upper sections are slim and light (1mm wall thickness), preventing the pole from becoming top heavy and keeping it perfectly balanced. A special reinforcing winding technique – several layers of fibreglass are wound in alternating direction (criss/cross winding) – provides greatly increased lateral and linear strength.
These poles are perfect for building all kinds of wire antennas, especially 80/160m wire GP or inverted L antennas. They can also easily support temporary lightweight 1 Element Quad or Delta loops for 40-10m, and dipoles for all bands, especially when used with open wire feedline. (Most baluns would be somewhat heavy).
4-6 poles could be used to build lightweight beams for 40 or 80m (…who is going to build one for 160? :-)).
The best (and cheapest) wire to use for building such wire antennas (verticals, loops, dipoles etc.) is AWG 18 (= 1mm dia) enamelled copper wire or similar.
Pole installation
One person can easily "walk up" the pole by pressing the bottom against a rock, tree, car or ground anchor, or having a second person hold it. Once the pole is in vertical position, it can easily be moved around.
Fix the bottom to a ground anchor and attach guy lines at 2 levels. Thin fishing monofilament (1mm dia) or 2mm Kevlar rope very suitable for guy lines.
High strength professional telescopic fibreglass pole
|Fully extracted length (height)
|18m (60ft)
|Transportation length
|1.70m (5ft 7″)
|6.8kg (15lbs)
|Bottom diameter
|73mm (2 5/6″)
|Top diameter
|4mm (1/6″)
|Wall thickness
|1mm – 2mm (1/25″ – 1/12″)
|Number of segments
|Pole material
|black fibreglass, UV protected specially reinforced multilayer winding
To complete the installation we strongly recommend using our rubber padded stainless steel clamps to safely secure the telescoping elements from slipping down. For a pole of this large size, clamps are a better solution than using tape only.
Each pole includes a Free Stainless Steel Clamp Set!
Guy Belt for 18 metres Fibreglass Pole
These strong guy belts are an ideal method for quickly attaching guy ropes to the pole.
The belts are very flexible and lightweight and transfer the forces into the mast over a very large area, thus preventing damage of the fibreglass tubes.
Set contains two belts for guying our 18m fibreglass at two levels. Simply slide them over the mast.
The 52mm belt rests at the bottom of the 5th segment (= approx. 7m height).
The 32mm belt rests at the bottom of the 9th segment (= approx 13m height). Attach 3 or 4 guy ropes (in 90° or 120° directions) to each belt and tie them to ground pegs at a distance of approx 8m from the pole.
High strength Kevlar Guy Line
2 mm diameter high strength Kevlar guy line.
Use it for guying 12 m and 18 m Spiderbeam Fiberglass Pole

(WXIA/USA Today) (Newser) – We get it, burglars. You like shiny things. But some things are off-limits no matter how shiny, and one of those definitely should have been the small box containing the ashes of Caleb Ean Hughey, who died at birth in 2008. The Hughey family came home Monday to find that a burglar had broken a window, climbed into their Georgia home, and made off with jewelry and other miscellaneous valuables—including Caleb's urn, USA Today reports. "It is a shiny, silver-looking box," Jody Hughey says, "so they might have thought that the box itself was of value. They may not have realized what was in there." (The box is engraved with Caleb's name, birth date, and an angel.) It gets even more heart-wrenching: The couple has had fertility problems, so "to us, he is our only son," his dad says. "And it's very important we get him back." (Read more Caleb Hughey stories.)

Norwich City were well beaten away at Middlesbrough last night.
Norwich City were well beaten at Middlesbrough in the Championship last night, as they failed to stay inside the Championship play-off places.
They were never at the races as they conceded routinely in a 4-0 win, which gave them a mountain to climb as they looked to try and get back into the game.
Norwich boss Neil Adams was left with no choice after the game than to admit the result was a fair reflection of the game, suggesting the Canaries simply weren't good enough against a very solid and experienced Championship side.
"We got what we deserved. No excuses. It wasn't good enough, at all," said Adams.
"We started okay, had quite a lot of the ball early on but the manner of the goals we conceded were not good enough. We didn't look like we could get into the game."
"Without a doubt that is the worst I have seen and the worst I have felt since taking over. It is a heavy defeat and there are not many positives at all."
The best approach for Norwich could be to forget about the game and move on.
This weekend presents another difficult challenge as Norwich go to Nottingham Forest and look to get three points against a side battling to stop their slide down the Championship table.
A win should be enough to put Norwich back in the play-off places, which is where they will be looking to consolidate for most of the season.
Adams, and certainly the travelling fans, will be hoping it's not a case of two bad defeats on the bounce, which can lead to self-doubt and a lack of confidence leaking into the team which does no good at all.
Here's what Norwich City fans on Twitter had to say about the performance and result.
Poor from Norwich, it was going to be tough but that sounds like a capitulation, we're better than that #ncfc #canarycall— charlie birchall (@birchfest) November 4, 2014
Poor performance by norwich tonight, playing against a team 2nd won't be easy but Adams needs to change things around #OTBC— Max Broughton (@Maxiboy178) November 4, 2014
Poor old Norwich another loss and we go above them, Im sure their away support was second to none, that's what matters after all #itfc #ncfc— Joe Street (@joe_street86) November 4, 2014
Don't give me the "it was the same 11 who beat Bolton" line. Woeful Bolton & Boro are totally dif things. Must improve. #ncfc— Matt Johnson (@mattjohnson333) November 5, 2014
I like Adams but not the man for this club we are a big club now pity the board don't think the same #actnow #ncfc— dave (@harlingdave) November 5, 2014
According to Norwich manager Neil Adams there wasn't much in it & BORO did the basics better. The basics being able to count to 4 [FOUR].— thepinkponce (@thepinkponce) November 4, 2014
Neil Adams: "Middlesbrough deserved to win." And I was hoping it was one of those evenly balanced 4-0 thumpings. #ncfc— Chris Osborne (@chrisozz) November 4, 2014
The issue is... Not ONE of us - not you, not me, not even Neil Adams...knows our best side.— Jon Rogers (@BigGrantHolt) November 4, 2014
Pressure mounting on Neil Adams now. Tactically not at the races and there's players out on loan who are better than what we have starting.— Ben (@nelsonben) November 4, 2014
Wow. Neil Adams is now playing a winger on the wing! If only he'd play a right back at right back... #ncfc— Jimbob Hedgehog (@JamesFinbow) November 4, 2014

Dr. Kharrazian's clinical approaches are taught at more than 200 locations annually.
In 2010, Dr. Kharrazian's book, Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms When My Lab Tests are Normal? completely changed the paradigm of how thyroid disorders are managed. He was the first author to describe how thyroid dysfunction treatment needs to emphasize an autoimmune approach. His book became an international bestseller and led to the development of the largest Facebook Hashimoto's community (Hashimoto's 411) and a non-profit thyroid patient advocacy group (Hey Hashi) that supports thyroid patients around the world.
Dr. Kharrazian is also the author of the best-selling book, Why Isn't My Brain Working? It is a well-reviewed and an exhaustively referenced book that illustrates Dr. Kharrazian's model for supporting the brain. Based on the inability to meet the overwhelming demands for patient appointment requests, Dr. Kharrazian created an online course called, Save Your Brain: The Six Week Rescue Plan, to provide a resource for many patients that needed guidance in finding ways to support their brain.

Telemedicine is a broad category that is comprised of 5 primary components. Consequently, it is important to specifically identify which of these component solutions will enable the desired benefit(s) for a given healthcare provider. The benefits range from optimizing staffing, to allowing expansion beyond the current service area for minimal cost, to reducing the 30-day readmission rate to population management. However, there are additional considerations to weigh when leveraging this technology including state legislative restrictions, malpractice exposure and reimbursement issues.

The FTC says that Phoenix-based telemarketers bilked consumers out of millions with fake promises of free grant money and internet business opportunities.
If you have a phone, you've probably heard from an IRS imposter — someone claiming you owe thousands of dollars and better pay up immediately, or else terrible things will happen. In the last nine months, more than 111,000 of you reported calls like that to the FTC, and dozens wrote blog comments about callers with South Asian accents posing as IRS agents.
Crowdfunding is the use of online platforms to fund a project or cause by raising money from a large number of people. As part of its FinTech series, the FTC will take a closer look at crowdfunding during a half-day forum on October 26.
Earlier this year, the FTC sued Volkswagen for falsely claiming that its diesel cars had low levels of harmful emissions. A federal judge has approved the FTC order that requires Volkswagen to provide up to $10 billion to owners and lessees of VW and Audi 2.0 liter diesel cars. The FTC has pointers for people who own or lease a 2009 to 2015 VW TDI Beetle, Golf, Jetta, Passat or Audi TDI A3.
Any parent or guardian of a child knows the milestones that come with turning 16 – learning to drive, maybe dating, or thinking about college. But now, there's one more: checking their credit report.
Over the summer, we told you about a mortgage relief scam that defrauded homeowners in financial distress. The case especially affected Spanish-speaking homeowners in Southern California. According to the FTC, Brookstone Law and Advantis Law firms convinced homeowners to make an upfront payment to join a mortgage lawsuit against banks and lenders, supposedly to help them avoid foreclosure, get rid of their mortgages, or get money from their lenders.
Halloween is right around the corner. And if you're looking to top off your costume by wearing cosmetic contact lenses, read on.
What's one kind of scam targeting you and everyone you know? Imposter scams. They happen when scammers pretend to be a person, business, or government agency you trust, then try to convince you to send money. One of their latest targets: people who own tractor-trailer trucks and other commercial vehicles.
If you're just getting by, and someone offers you the chance to earn more money through a business opportunity, you might be willing to listen, right?
Unfortunately, those offers often turn out to be just another scam. Today the FTC announced charges against three people and multiple companies behind a telemarketing scheme that targeted older people and veterans, and took millions of dollars from people with promises they would multiply their investment.
Whether you're 16 or 60, buying a used car can be an exciting experience. But it can also be a big financial commitment, with some industry reports estimating that the average price of a used car is close to $20,000. A new consumer.gov article gives you tips for buying a used car, written in a plain and simple style that cuts to the chase.
Scammers know people pay attention to warning signs, like the car's "check engine" light, or railroad crossing gates and weather alerts. So when a fraudster wants to grab your attention, he may disguise his pitch as a warning. At the FTC's request, a federal court temporarily shut down and froze the assets of an operation that allegedly used phony online warnings about computer security, and deceived people into spending millions of dollars on unnecessary computer technical support services.
It seems like manufacturers are coming out with new smartphones, tablets and other devices at a faster clip year after year. People who upgraded and were looking to get some money back for their old devices may have been tempted by some websites that promised to pay top dollar. As a result of the lawsuit filed by the FTC and the State of Georgia, a federal court just put a stop to one company running several buyback websites because it wasn't keeping up its end of the bargain.
Hurricane Matthew has left the Caribbean and is on its way to the east coast of the U. S. If you live in states along the coast and haven't begun storm preparations, now's the time. The FTC has information to help you prepare for, deal with, and recover from the long-term impacts of a weather emergency.
Are you a former ITT Tech student trying to plan your next steps? You're not alone. Thousands of former students have questions about the status of their student loans and the future of their education.
As you consider what to do next, here's some helpful information from the Department of Education (ED) about two options available to ITT students: getting your federal student loans discharged, or trying to transfer your ITT Tech credits to another school.
Looking for information on dealing with identity theft? The FTC has new and revised identity theft publications that reflect features of IdentityTheft.gov that make it easier to report and recover from identity theft.
Here's what's hot off the presses:
You might try to get relief from occasional body aches and pains with an over-the-counter treatment. But for people with severe joint stiffness or mobility restrictions due to arthritis or fibromyalgia, it's a good idea to get medical advice. According to the FTC, some products that claim to treat those serious conditions don't live up to the hype. Today the FTC announced a settlement against a company that claimed its "clinically proven" supplement promised "complete and long-lasting relief" from joint pain.

Few weeksago I ate my very first heirloom tomato and I was hooked immediately on thetaste of this light yellow tomato. It was given to us by our neighbor who isretired farmer. Apparently, his friends found it among hundreds of plants theygrow for making tomato juice and since it didn't look red they threw it out.Knowing that we will try anything new food-wise he brought them to us. I do notunderstand why I waited so long to taste these tomatoes since I do shop at localAmish farms and at our local farmers market and they were always available inseason. Looks like my plans for next year veggie garden are changing alreadysince I will definitely grow some heirloom tomatoes.
LastThanksgiving Sunday we went for a ride in the country and we came across a roadsidestand that was selling heirloom tomatoes of all sizes, colors and shapes. Sinceall of them are open pollinated varieties I will collect the seeds fromtomatoes that both of us really like.
Thismorning we did a little tasting and they are really good! They were nowhere assweet as some regular red hybrids, but instead there was nice balance betweensweet and tart. They will be great in salads and relishes, I think. So far Ipicked 3 (and counting) that I will try to grow. Over the winter I will try toidentify the varieties that I have collected seeds from; not an easy task.Maybe I will email pictures to some seed houses and ask if they can help. It isnot all that important to know the name but if somebody will taste my tomatoes,likes them and asks for the name it would be nice to know the answer.
Of course,if you know any of these tomatoes, please, leave a comment.
Here islink to interesting description of "Heirloom Tomato".

Archery Options In Arizona
There are many options available for archery fans in the great state of Arizona. Getting the proper gear is no problem at all. Any hunting or outdoor gear store will carry bows, arrows, targets, archery gloves, and everything else in between. This is a good first step for archers and archery fans in the state, but what about finding a place to practice?
Fortunately there are several options to take care of this particular issue, as well. Anyone living in the country has it easy. In rural areas it is easy to set up targets and just practice with friends and other fans of archery. However if you live in the city, your best bet is to look for local archery clubs. At least one club can be found in most cities of any size and in many cases, in many of the largest cities in Arizona there are multiple clubs in the same city.
We met a guy that owns a heating and air company and he is an avid archer that helped start a local archery club. He said the best way to choose is to go there first, take a look at who is there, what they have to offer, and what membership entails. Having a place where you know you can practice, talk about the finer points, or even get some coaching can really make all of the difference.

Early social network Digg, once shopped for over $200 million, just sold to Betaworks for $500,000 and 'considerations.'
The Wall Street Journal sets the price tag at $500,000, quoting three of the famous "people familiar with the matter." TechCrunch believes that number is only part of the deal, since Digg makes more than that per year in advertising. They quote Digg CEO Matt Williams saying, "the over consideration is significantly larger," but Williams doesn't provide details.
No matter the price, the fact that Digg, once considered a top-tier social network site that defined the Internet, has crashed to this level is painful for many (The Atlantic). The voting system controlled not by number of votes but an algorithm meant only those who could game the system got to the front page. When a site doesn't trust their community, the community leaves. And takes their value away with them.
Smells fishy
Something does not smell right here. We wonder why the American people are skeptical about wall street?Joe Lucido on wsj.com
Instagram for $1 billion and Digg for $500k? Something doesn't seem right in the industry.Wayne Harrel on techcrunch.com
Digg itself was bought for $500K, with some arbitrarily valued Betaworks equity (though even then in 7-figures – and not for Digg) thrown to its VC backers as part of the transaction to sweeten the pot a little. Pretty standard practice for a VC investment gone sour.atimoshenko on theatlantic.com
This was a great acquisition for Betaworks, they are going to get a ton of buzz when they make the move.Walker Williams on techcrunch.com
The author is a bit off- facebook and twitter didn't have anything to do with digg's demise, it was reddit.Kevin Stevens on wsj.com
Everyone who was annoyed with the new Digg could simply jump ship to Reddit with a couple of clicks, and once they got over the interface, would find that it was like the old Digg but with a smarter community.Mujokan on theatlantic.com
Self-inflicted wounds
It had nothing at all to do with Reddit. It had everything to do with Digg's leadership foisting on their users one of the most abhorrent redesigns in Web history.Andre Richards on wsj.com
I stopped visiting Digg years ago when for some reason it was unreadable on both Firefox and Chrome with the latest versions.Kevin Hydak on techcrunch.com

Freshmen, the time has finally come. You've completed 12 whole years of seemingly endless school days and now freedom waits just around the corner. With only about a month and a half left before your parents drop you off on campus, it's time to start thinking about purchasing accessories to help you make your dorm room as much as a home away from home as possible. We've comprised a list of dorm room must-haves to get you started on your dorm room journey.
1. Mattress Cover: A mattress cover is a must-have for that awfully uncomfortable bed that your dorm room provides. For all the work you'll be doing, you'll need the best nights rest you can get and with a mattress cover, your hard dorm room mattress will seem a lot dreamier. Its better to get a Therapeutic Mattress Pad that has a high thread count, the thicker the better. $19.99-$39.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond.
2. Wall Stickers: Turn those boring, off-white walls into something a little more...exciting. The very, very best in Wall Stickers can be found at Modern Wall Graphics. They have a myriad of sizes, shapes, designs, and colors to make your dorm room the most decorated on the floor. The best part is, you don't have to worry about them getting stuck to the wall. 'Wall Slicks' peel off easily without leaving any residue. Perfect!
3. A Huge Rug: If you haven't stepped foot inside a dorm room before, know that it's not a good place to be barefoot. Most dorms provide you with a floor that'd be extremely uncomfortable to put your feet on in the morning -- cold, unforgiving tile. With a huge carpeted rug to cover your whole floor, you'll never have to worry about your feet touching that frigid floor…ever. Pbteen.com has a big selection of regular and designer rugs.
4. Desk Lamp: Studying is inevitable in college (sorry to break it to ya), and even though most rooms are equipped with a lovely fluorescent light, you'll need something a little brighter and closer to help focus in on your work. Of course, you can do this stylishly with a silicone desk lamp. They come in pink and black at Bed Bath & Beyond, $19.99.
5. Picture Frames: New friends are bound to be made in college, but you can't forget the old ones! Bring all of your favorite pictures from home and frame them for your desk and wall. The best kinds are collage frames, which allow you to display multiple pictures in one. They come in pink, white, and black for $9.99 at Target.
6. Closet Organizers: Imagine cutting the closet you have now in half. That's the size of the closet you'll be getting in your dorm. Space savers are a MUST to make sure you get everything you bring neatly into your room. The best kind for clothes hangs from your closets pole and has space for clothing as well as side pockets for other things. The black gearbox closet organizer has all and is sturdy enough to last for a couple of years. Find it for $14.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond
7. Wall Art: Going along with the wall-decorating theme, wall art will take peoples eyes off of the mundane backdrop and give them an insight into the type of person you are. Dormbuys.com has all types of wall art from inspirational to L.A. pop art, $7.99-$13.99.
8. Bad Air Sponge: Bottom line, you and your dorm mate don't want to be living in a musty room, causing your clothes and other belongings to smell the same. Bad air sponges are small, quiet, and will get rid of all funky odors that will try to creep into your dorm room. You can find them for $9.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond
These are just a few necessities to get you started in your new home. Remember; make this a place that you want to come to after a long day of school or a crazy night of partying. Happy dorming!

Billy Lush aims to foster an environment that openly and positively accepts the challenges of life as opportunities for even greater fulfillment. We are dedicated to equipping our customers with the tools and encouragement they need to increase their engagement with life through the activity of stand up paddleboarding.

We provide you with stroke drills that will help you to key in and self correct for proper technique. During this class we also go into more advanced turns such as the cross bow turn and pivot/drop step turn.

We have several routes for adventure ranging from 4 to 21 miles along the Tennessee River. During these excursions you may have the chance to view the sunset over downtown Knoxville, witness the full moon rise on a late summer evening, or paddle alongside the abundant wild life such as river otters and beavers. Each Excursion offers a unique way to travel with friends and come face-to face with the natural beauty of East Tennessee.
Enjoy the outdoors
In addition to paddleboards we also offer other options to get out and play. We have kayaks and canoes available for rent to those looking for an alternative to enjoy the outdoors. We also rent beach cruiser bikes to travel along the downtown greenways. From our shop you can bike to a variety of locations.
