Travel bags have to be versatile. Whether you're looking for a fashionable bag for your next city break or a practical and spacious board trolley with wheels as hand luggage for a intercontinental flight, we know what features your bag must be equipped with to assist you on your next journey. That's because we also love to travel and explore the planet.
As the name suggests, a weekender bag is the perfect size to stow everything you need for a weekend away from home. Alternatively you could take a duffel which is minimal in design and looks good, especially with a full load. For longer stays away from the familiarity of your own neighborhood, we have also developed some travel bags that are the perfect companion for travelers and backpackers on longer trips, bags made to be home away from home. Heading to a festival, then you can go with a hip bag (aka bum-bag or fanny pack) or a stylish backpack that complements your party clothes perfectly.

Former RBC banker pleads guilty to insider trading
A former investment banking associate at Royal Bank of Canada in Sydney has pleaded guilty to insider trading.
Mr John Kay Jin Khoo, now of Bulimba in Queensland, pleaded guilty to four charges of communicating inside information to two people knowing they were likely to trade on it.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission says Mr Khoo gained the information while working at RBC on the proposed acquisition of Macarthur Coal by Peabody Energy and ArcelorMittal, as well as from proposed takeovers of Caledon Resources by Guangdong Rising Assets Management Co and Mantra Resources by JSC Atomredmetzoloto between 2010 and 2011.
Mr Jia Yao Mathew Tan from the Sydney suburb of Waterloo pleaded guilty to one count of insider trading, related to the Macarthur Coal takeover.
ASIC says Mr Tan, a former day trader and director of Active Capital Management, made approximately $40,000 by acquiring 10,000 contracts for difference in Macarthur Coal as a result of information provided by Mr Khoo.
The two men have been committed for sentencing in the Sydney District Court on January 18.

The disputed characters include a medieval knight called Ilya Muromets known for his superhuman strength, 'Speckled Hen,' a creature which miraculously lays golden eggs, and Kolobok, a cheerful talking cake who flees animals eager to eat him.
Kolobok is not all that terrifying. He's a cake He outwitted a few animals who were trying to eat him, until the fox came along, and befuddled him with praise. End of Kolobok. Fox full. I like the german version of the fairy tale better. Kolobok ends up letting some starving children eat him. Awwww (yet...creepy?)
Anytime food talks back when you try to eat it, it's terrifying and creepy.

How Will Fox Report On Full Transcript Undermining IRS Conspiracy?
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
For weeks, Fox News has promoted selective clips of interview transcripts leaked by House Republicans to promote their baseless claim that the White House engineered the Internal Revenue Service's improper screening of conservative groups seeking non-profit status.
Such claims were always speculative. The IRS' inspector general has said that while employees used "improper criteria" to scrutinize conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status, that behavior was "not politically biased" and was not driven by the White House. Subsequent testimony leaked by House Republicans has suggested that high-ranking IRS officials in Washington were at first unaware of the improper behavior and stopped it when they learned of it.
The House Oversight Committee's Democrats have now released the full transcript of an interview with another IRS witness which further undermines claims that the White House was at the center of the process. According to the interview subject, a self-described conservative Republican who worked in the IRS' Cincinnati office, an agent he supervised flagged the first Tea Party application that came under scrutiny, asking for guidance on the case.The interview subject denied having had contact with senior IRS officials or the White House about the targeting. According to The Washington Post's Greg Sargent:
In the testimony, the screening manager says that he first became aware of the initial Tea Party application when an "agent who worked for me" asked for "guidance concerning a case for him." The manager testified that in this case he agreed with the agent that "there was not enough information" to figure out whether to grant the group tax exempt status.
"I told him at that point in time I agreed with his thinking," the manager testified, adding that he informed the agent that he would "elevate that issue to my area manager."
"This was the first case that came in that was brought to my attention," the manager continued.
The manager further testified that the Tea Party groups were deliberately grouped together so that they would receive consistent treatment. "There was a lot of concerns about making sure that any cases that had, you know, similar-type activities or items included, that they would be worked by the same agent or same group," the manager testified.
In the testimony, the screening manager also flatly stated he had no reason to believe there was White House involvement.
The screening manager also testifies that he never had any conversation with Lois Lerner, the former director of the Exempt Organizations Division, or former IRS commissioner Douglas Schulmanm about the "screening of Tea Party cases."
It remains to be seen how Fox News will react to statements that so strongly undermine their conclusion. But we have some precedent - on June 9, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, released excerpts from this interview, and said that it showed that "the case is solved" and that the White House had not been involved in the improper behavior. Fox responded by airing his conclusion that "the case is solved" and hosting conservatives to criticize that claim, without laying out Cummings' evidence.

Chanel's Black Satin Returns
Chanel's Black Satin Returns
Chanel Black Satin nail polish is undeniably the hottest nail color this fall. Since its initial release in late July, it's been sold out almost everywhere, prompting waiting lists at department stores and high bids on eBay. Now, according to an article in the New York Times, the must-have nail polish is back!
Starting today, department stores nationwide will be restocked with new bottles of Black Satin, thanks to a recent ramp-up in production on the part of Chanel. According to the NYT,
"The company says interest in Black Satin grew after Jessica Alba and other young celebrities were spotted wearing it this summer. Soon, Chanel executives said, it was selling a thousand bottles a week."
I think the whole thing is a bit silly. It is, after all, just black nail polish; in middle school, we bought the same color made by cheap-o drugstore brand Wet N Wild. But if you simply must have some, it retails for $18, or you can buy it on eBay here; the current bid on this particular auction is $31.

Federal prosecutors say a deal has been reached to drop the criminal case against Gibson Guitar Corp. after the instrument maker acknowledged its exotic wood imports violated environmental laws.
Under the agreement announced Monday, Aug. 6, Nashville-based Gibson is to pay a $300,000 penalty. The company also agreed to forfeit claims to about $262,000 worth of wood seized by federal agents and contribute $50,000 to promote conservation of protected tree species.
The company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Gibson's decision stands in contrast to a 2011 publicity campaign mounted after agents raided Gibson facilities in Memphis and Nashville.
Republicans and tea party members rallied behind CEO Henry Juszkiewicz when he denounced the raids as overzealous federal regulation that threatened American jobs.

EdR, a Memphis-based developer, owner and manager of collegiate housing, has announced a $3 million mezzanine investment and an option-to-purchase agreement with Landmark Properties for The Retreat at State College, a 587-bed, cottage-style community to be built 1.2 miles from the Penn State campus.
The Retreat at State College gives Landmark more than 4,000 beds currently under construction and represents Landmark's second 2013 delivery with EdR. Landmark, in a joint venture with Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, will be providing all the equity for the project.
Scheduled for a summer 2013 opening, The Retreat at State College will offer 138 two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom cottages on 24 acres on the bus transit route for the Penn State campus.
EdR has market experience in the Penn State area. Since 2005, EdR has owned and managed The Pointe, a collegiate housing community approximately one mile north of the campus. It has been 100 percent occupied for the past six years and has achieved an average rate growth of 5.4 percent during the last two years.
EdR and Landmark also are developing a $37.6 million cottage community at the University of Mississippi, scheduled to open in fall 2013. The Retreat at Oxford comprises 668 beds and amenities similar to those of the Penn State project.
A real estate investment trust, EdR owns or manages 62 communities in 23 states with more than 34,900 beds within more than 11,400 units.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says data that show the U.S. economy in recovery doesn't fully capture the tough times felt by many.
Bernanke says that while measures of consumer spending, income and wealth point to improvement, "many individuals and households continue to struggle with difficult economic and financial conditions."
His comments were made during a pre-recorded speech on economic measurement to the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth in Cambridge, Mass.
Bernanke says statistics can sometimes hide important information. He said there has been interesting developments in the study of "well-being" and cited the Kingdom of Bhutan, which abandoned tracking gross national product in 1972 in favor of a measure of happiness.
Bernanke made no comments about Fed policy or the July jobs report released last Friday.
The price of oil rose slightly Monday following its biggest gain in more than a month.
Oil gained almost 5 percent Friday after the U.S. government reported a surge in jobs growth last month, increasing optimism the economy is on the right track.
Oil has gained nearly 20 percent since hitting a low of $77.69 in late June. That's meant higher pump prices for motorists during the summer driving season. The price of retail gas has increased about 29 cents since July 1, but it's still below what it was a year ago.
Prices at the pump rose 5 cents over the weekend to a U.S. average of $3.619 per gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and the Oil Price Information Service. Much of the increase was due to a spike in gas prices in the Midwest, where pipeline and refinery problems helped jack up pump prices last week by about 40 cents or more in some parts of Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin.
Friday's surprisingly positive jobs report is still weighing heavily on investors' minds on Monday. The pickup in hiring last month was far greater than analysts were expecting and marked the biggest increase since February. Still, the number of jobs added wasn't enough that investors are ruling out some sort of economic stimulus measures by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Benchmark U.S. crude rose 64 cents to $92.04 per barrel in New York. Brent crude rose 18 cents to $109.12 per barrel in London.

Due to the widespread concern for the increase in the number of thefts in California's rural communities, the Owner Applied Number (OAN) crime prevention program is available to farmers for the identification of farm machinery, equipment and even household goods.
This FBI established system allows a state and county to be assigned a number which is recorded in the NCIC (National Crime Information Center). A directory containing these numbers is available to each law enforcement agency for use in identifying the various state and counties.
The ACTION Project issues OANs for 45 of California's county sheriff's departments. Rural residents can sign up for an OAN by going to www.agcrime.net. This information enables law enforcement agencies to pinpoint ID numbers within any state and county in the U.S., whether stolen equipment is found across the country or within the same county.
In California, the OAN ID system uses 10 characters, which identify the state, county, and business. The coded identification number allows local law enforcement to identify stolen property and contact the owner.
The OAN's are most often hand stamped using 1/8-inch or ¼-inch letters and numbers on heavy equipment and will not generally be as large or precise as those applied by the manufacturer. One of the key elements in marking equipment is uniformity. Locate the OAN on the right side of the equipment as you are standing behind it. On all equipment with non-removable tongues; manure spreaders, grain drills, auger wagons, etc., place the OAN on right side on top of tongue, 12 inches to rear of hitch pin. On 3-point equipment with a tool bar, place the OAN on top of tool bar adjacent to right hitch pin.
For additional information on stamping equipment a brochure can be downloaded at: http://www.agcrime.net/pdf%20files/OAN-ID.pdf
It is also recommended that you also mark equipment in another location known only to the owner. If the OAN's are removed or destroyed, property can still be positively identified by the OAN's located elsewhere.
It has been proven that thieves are hesitant to take items that can be readily identified. Placing signs, decals, and other visible information warning potential thieves that this equipment has been marked and registered with the local law enforcement officials my help to prevent a possible theft.
It is suggested that the seller of equipment notify the new owner that the equipment has been marked. The new owner should then locate and stamp their number below the previous owner's number, so that the equipment can be traced from one owner to another. Do not alter or deface the previous owner's OAN.

What originally seemed like an odd internet rumour, was publicly announced today.
Disney Parks & Resorts has revealed that a new Muppets Show will be coming to Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square:

Beginning this fall, the Muppets will be visiting Magic Kingdom Park, where they'll take part in an all-new live show, "The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History."
Sam Eagle, the fiercely patriotic American eagle who is forever trying to set a high moral standard for the Muppets, will join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, The Great Gonzo and James Jefferson, town crier of Liberty Square, as they gather outside The Hall of Presidents to present historical tales in hysterical fashion as only they can. From the midnight ride of Paul Revere to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Muppets appear throughout the day to share with Guests, their own unique take on the founding fathers and the birth of the United States of America.
Featuring an original song and plenty of wacky Muppets humor, "The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History" will make its debut in October 2016.

I'm sorry but I'm not seeing the tie in to Liberty Square...somewhere in DHS - sure, but MK - nah. I just don't think of the Muppets as history ambassadors.
Great idea but so many questions!
This is going to take place outside the Hall of Presidents, but where specifically? During busy times (almost always) the path between Fantasyland / Liberty Square and Frontier Land is a major thoroughfare with lots of traffic. Otherwise the space in front of HOP, Liberty Tree Tavern and Sleep Hallow doesn't offer much hope either as it is relatively small.
If this going to be akin to the Jack Sparrow show that used to occur by Pirates where people would just gather? I'm assuming these will be full size characters or will they be actual muppets?
Either way...who doesn't love the Muppets? Great news!

OMG. The posts on this thread are typical. "How does 'fill in the blank' tie into 'designated area'?" You put the Muppets into period clothing and you have them talk about things that happened during Revolutionary Times. You give Sam the Eagle a prominent place and you have a human Town Crier on the street. It sounds like a perfect, fun, show for an area that most people just pass through going from the Haunted Mansion to Splash Mountain/BTMRR.
What's funny is that Peanut's did historical TV cartoon shows as did Archie, with their US of Archie. How is this any different?
I love the Muppets. I really could care less which park they "fit". I'm very much looking forward to their take on Paul Revere. Although it's not on the list I think Washington crossing the Delaware could be a hoot.

Rain Hampers Rescuers Still Trying To Reach Flooded Colo. Mountain Towns [VIDEO]
From mountain towns east to the plains city of Fort Morgan, numerous Colorado communities remain cut off by flooding as rain continued to fall through the weekend and rescuers continued to make treacherous journeys up canyon roads to reach isolated homes.
The surging waters have been deadly, with four people confirmed dead and two more missing and presumed dead after their homes were swept away.
State emergency officials say some 1,500 homes have been destroyed and about 17,500 have been damaged. In addition, 11,700 people have fled their homes, and a total of more than 1,200 people have not been heard from.
As many as 1,000 people in Larimer County have been waiting for rescuers to reach them, but airlifts were grounded Sunday because of the rain.
Hundreds more people are unaccounted for to the south in Boulder County and other flood-affected areas. And the town of Lyons has been almost completely abandoned.
In Colorado, tropical air snagged on mountain range equals disaster
DENVER (AP) — Most residents of the Colorado Front Range don't pay much attention to the small streams that typically trickle past on their way from the mountains to the plains.
But that was before this past week, when more than a foot of rain from a storm system hung up on the Rocky Mountains supercharged those streams with a deadly force. The state now faces a long recovery from widespread devastation and four people confirmed dead.
Weather experts say the storm system was a rare event.
State climatologist Nolan Doesken says it started with an unusually moist air mass. That met a sprawling wind pattern that kept pushing the mass up against the Rocky Mountain foothills. The air rose, condensed, fell as rain and kept repeating.

My daughter's first fourth-grade social studies test was a tough lesson in study skills -- for both of us. Sophie is a good student, so I let her prepare for what we thought would be a simple exam on her own. When she got the test back, though, she and I were devastated by her less-than-passing grade. I asked Sophie how she had studied. "Like everyone did, I think. I read the chapter again," she said. That was it? She hadn't asked a friend to quiz her? Written down key vocabulary words? She responded with The Blank Look.
Major "aha!" mom moment: Teachers often don't coach kids on how to study for tests. "I may show my students how to make flash cards or use visual tricks to remember facts, but I have to focus my time on teaching the actual subject matter," says 2008 National Teacher of the Year Michael Geisen, a science teacher in Prineville, OR. Don't worry: You don't have to become your child's constant study buddy (who has time for that?). But you can keep your own cheat sheet of study techniques to share with her. Try out a few of these tips before your child's next exam and she'll soon have A-level test-prep skills.
Talk it out. Have your child review the major math concepts he's studying and either say them aloud or write on index cards the general gist of each topic. For example: "Factors are two numbers you multiply together to get another number: 2 x 3 = 6, so 2 and 3 are factors of 6."
Work it out. "Do actual problems on paper or a dry-erase board," says John Bass, a dad of two daughters and an elementary school teacher in Lake Oswego, OR. Have your child use problems from his textbook or go online to the publisher's "extra resources" site. Other online practice sites to try: Coolmath.com, Funbrain.com, and Mathcats.com.
Add color. When he's doing long division or other problems that require multiple steps, have your child complete each line or section in a different-color pencil.
Play "beat the buzzer." Julie Murray of Cary, NC, prints out the same number of problems that will be on her son Jayden's timed test (search online for "free printable math worksheets"). Then the 9-year-old has five chances to "beat" a timer set for five minutes. If your child gets frustrated about his progress, remind him that it's just a game and he'll become faster and better the more he does it.
Draw it out. Encourage your child to draw simple pictures (such as a rectangle with the length of each side marked for figuring out area or perimeter) -- while studying and on scratch paper during a test -- particularly for story problems involving shapes, sizes, distances, or lengths.
Picture this. On the front of an index card, have your child draw a simple picture of each spelling word next to the first letter of the word as a clue. She should write the correct spelling on the back of the card. Then have your child check the picture, then spell the word aloud or write it on paper. If she spells the word wrong, have her write it twice on scratch paper or a dry-erase board and spell it aloud twice.
Let 'em eat their words. Give your child a cookie sheet with dry, flavored gelatin mix on it. Have her "write" her words with her finger, saying the letters aloud as she goes, suggests stephanie sturgeon, a Noblesville, IN, teacher and mom of two. If you'd rather avoid the sugar and stained fingers, rice or sand works, too.
Get it on tape. Show your child how to say each spelling word into a cassette player, iPhone, or digital audio device, leaving long pauses after each word. When he's done, have him replay the recording, write the words during the pauses, then check his work against his correct spelling list.
Study via stickies. Post tough spelling words throughout the house -- on the refrigerator, bathroom door, mirrors -- with colorful sticky notes, suggests Joan Rooney, a Boston mom and vice president of tutor management at Tutor.com. "Kids can also use funny drawings or symbols," she says.
Reading & Writing
Read and circle. Mom Julie Murray helped her kids improve their comprehension by previewing questions before reading a story. Have your child circle important words in the questions, like "Make a list" or "Who is the main character?" Then, when he reads the passage, he should circle the answers to the questions. Now your child is ready to respond.
Talk it out. If your child's an auditory learner, encourage him to whisper the reading section to himself or mouth the words, says Richard Bavaria, Ph.d., senior vice president of education outreach for Sylvan Learning Centers. "The information will stick in his memory more effectively," he says.
Play detective. Improve your child's focus by asking him to sleuth out the "five W's and one H" (Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How) in every reading passage. If your child finds these "main clues" and highlights or circles them, he should be able to easily "solve," or answer, important questions.
Ace the essays. Help your child make up essay questions to practice answering. Create a "mind map" or web. For example, if the question is "What can you do to help the environment?" your child would write that in a center circle. Around it, she can jot her ideas in additional circles, such as "Pick up litter." Once she's drafted all her options, she'll write them in a paragraph, from most important to least.
Science & Social Studies
Go "old school." Flash cards are a tried-and-true way to help kids remember complex facts. Shelly Walker of Los Angeles has her daughter Lauren write key words or concepts on the front of colorful index cards, and jot definitions on the back. After Lauren studies the cards, her mom quizzes her. Lauren keeps the correctly answered cards in a pile, while Mom "wins" the ones she missed. Lauren's goal is to win all the cards and the right to brag loudly!
Make up mnemonics. Science teacher Geisen is a huge fan of acronyms (words formed by using the first letter of each word in a list) and phrases to help kids memorize long lists of formulas, planets, animals, and more. Have your child create his own silly ones (humor boosts memory!) or search online for some classics like these:
The Great Lakes: HOMES (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior)
Taxonomic Order: King Philip Came Over For Good Soup (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)
The order of operations recommended for solving a complicated math problem: "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally"= PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction)
Get artsy. Geisen encourages students to draw simple diagrams of tough concepts or scientific processes such as the cycle of water evaporation. Silly pictures also help them remember challenging vocabulary words. Example: When a kid is trying to remember the meanings of "dominant" and "recessive" in genetics, she could draw a picture of a big dog barking at a tiny dog. The name on the big dog's collar could be "Dom" and the little one could be "Recess."
Embrace your inner American Idol. Admit it: You still remember most of the Preamble to the Constitution or the purpose of conjunctions, thanks to the "Schoolhouse Rock" songs from Saturday-morning cartoons. "Tunes and rhythm seem to cement new information into memory unlike anything else," says Sylvan's Bavaria. Encourage your child to put fact lists -- like the names of U.S. presidents in date order -- to a familiar song like "Pop Goes the Weasel."
Play online. Many textbooks offer online practice tests your child can access from home. Kids love having an excuse to play computer games, and test scoring is immediate, so your child can instantly see where he needs to study more. Another bonus: Practice tests often foreshadow the actual exam.
Three-Day Study Plan:
If your child has several days to prepare for a big test, try this simple way to break up the study tasks:
Three days before the test: Have your child reread the key textbook chapters and her class notes.
Two days before: Ask your child to recite key points out loud -- to you, a sibling, or even a favorite toy -- without looking at her notes or in her textbook. Have her refer back to them. Did she remember correctly?
The day before: If the teacher provided a practice test or an online study guide, your child should complete it now. On the questions she misses, have her reread key points in the text or her notes.
The day of the test: If your child is game, encourage her to skim her notes over breakfast in the morning. If she's anxious, skip the last-minute studying and help her relax with deep breaths or tension-breaking jumping jacks. And a "good luck" note in her backpack is always a nice touch.
Studying is only part of the equation. How your kid takes the test counts for a lot, too:
Do a "brain dump". When your child starts a test, encourage him to immediately write in the test margins or on scratch paper any key formulas, dates, or lists he's worried about forgetting. Unleashing these details on paper frees up his brain to focus on the test, says Laurie Rozakis, Ph.D., Farmingdale, N Y, author of Super Study Skills. The info also helps later if your child blanks out on key facts.
Scan and skip. Coach your child to look over the whole test, then start with questions he's sure of -- no matter where they fall on the test. Answering familiar questions first will boost his confidence and save time for tougher questions to come.
Manage multiple choice. In general, if your child has four multiple-choice answers from which to choose, he should be able to eliminate two options right away, says Richard Bavaria, Ph.D., of Sylvan Learning Centers. Then he can choose his final answer from the two remaining options.
Review and regroup. After a big test -- particularly if your child didn't do as well as expected -- review it together. Did he misread the directions? Forget to study an entire section? Get tired toward the end? Ask your child's teacher for clues, too. "Most teachers are more than happy to look over tests," says Geisen.
Create a "You did it!" tradition. The evening after a big test, go for a bike ride or let him stay up an extra 30 minutes at bed-time -- whatever he considers a treat. "This isn't connected to his grade," says Rozakis. "It's about congratulating your child for making it through a tough task, and giving him a positive feeling about future tests."
Teri Cettina, a Parenting contributor an mom of two school-age daughters in Portland, OR, still recalls the song she learned to remember the 50 states in fourth grade.

The Mongolian poster said they went to: TereljLooks like a great background for a pit stop.This may be the same train thay took from China.
This indicates that they may have arrived at 1:30 pm. I don't understand why teams would have been required to drive to the China Mongolia boarder.Unless that was th only way to catch the train. Post
I just noticed that according to that train post, the travel time from Beijing is 29 hours. But if they are riding only from Erlyan then, what?, 14 hours. Map below from here.The yellow arrows show cities served by Air China. If that's an option.
Wow! You go away for a few hours and you miss all the fun. Let me try to add something. Markers for the first stop:a cafe that serves lattepopular among ex-patsEthiopian ownernext door to "monastery/museum" This site describes Millie's Espresso as being "popular among expats." This site (towards the bottom of the page) mentions Millie, the Ethiopian-American owner. And this site states that the restaurant is near the Chojin Lama museum (former monastery). So I'll go out on a limb and call Chojin Lama (haven't found a home page for it yet).
QuoteAlternatively, take local trains from Beijing to the Mongolian border, cross by bus, and continue to Ulaanbaatar on local trains. Another article that suggests (last paragraph) that there's no straight-through train service.
Alternatively, take local trains from Beijing to the Mongolian border, cross by bus, and continue to Ulaanbaatar on local trains.
The GE stuff is interesting. If you look at the northern suburbs you can see the difference between the ger-city and the Western/Soviet city. I tried using GE to find Terelj, but it's in the fuzzylands; generally, it's north of Nalayh and east of UB.
I agree with the others that the drive to the border (if the poster heard the account correctly) is a bit puzzling. Here's a newspaper story of the 33-hour train trip: the border delay occurs when they switch the undercarriage. And here's a webshot of a ticket for train 23. And I checked the Miat 2006 schedule for PEK-ULN: it's sparse, but there are flights available (none on Tuesday).
Don't think that there is an actual pit stop in China; but most first two-hour eps have various tasks and lots of traveling. So if we follow your schedule with teams leaving Seattle on May 28, then after they arrive in Beijing and clear customs at 11:30PM they may have to find cars/taxies and proceed to someplace between Beijing and Erlyan. Perhaps the Great Wall. But the teams have to bed down for the night to wait for opening "hours of operation" let's say 8:30AM. They do the task. Clue tells them to drive/take taxi to Erlyan and find train station and book train to Ulan Bator. Since train leaves at 10:30PM this gives them plenty of time to walk the wall and to do tasks, find clue and drive on to Erlyan.Just some possibilities. So the first elimination is at the pit stop in or around Ulan Bator (Terelj).By the way, just in case anyone really cares, the name of the desert is just Gobi. Gobi means desert in Mongolian, so it is redundant to say Gobi Desert.
Gingerman...they are giving "flaming arrows" to "mactors" and "beauty pageant contestants". I'd say that's a recipe for disaster.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says President Barack Obama is "simply naive" if he thinks Venezuela's leader does not pose a threat to the United States.
Romney's comments follow Obama's interview this week with a Miami TV station in which he was asked to assess the relationship between Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Iran.
"We're always concerned about Iran engaging in destabilizing activity around the globe," Obama told the station, WJAN America TeVe Miami. "But overall my sense is that what Mr. Chavez has done over the past several years has not had a serious national security impact on us."
Romney, seeking an edge both on national security and with Hispanic voters, said Obama's assertion was "misguided and misdirected."
"The idea that this nation, this president, doesn't pose a national security threat is simply naive and an extraordinary admission on the part of this president to be completely out of touch with what is happening in Latin America," Romney said of Chavez in an interview Wednesday with Fox News.
Obama said the US remains "vigilant" about Venezuela. But he said his main concern was making sure "the Venezuelan people have a voice in their affairs and that you end up ultimately having fair and free elections, which we don't always see."
Chavez, who has been battling cancer, has close ties with Iran and has hosted Iranian leaders in Venezuela. He is seeking re-election and says he is cancer-free.
Chavez is roundly hated by many Venezuelans living in the U.S because of his crackdown on private enterprise, free speech and political opposition. The number of Venezuelans who now call the U.S. home — many are from the country's middle and upper class — has doubled in the past decade to 238,000, according to US Census figures.
More than half of them live in Florida, a key swing state in the Nov. 6 presidential election, and have a strong voice there despite making up less than 1 percent of Hispanics nationwide.
Any perception that Obama is failing to take Chavez seriously also could energize Florida's more conservative and politically powerful Cuban-Americans. Many of them also regard Chavez with disdain because of his close ties to former Cuban leader Fidel Castro and his financial support for the struggling Cuban government.
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said Chavez is an attention-seeker and Romney played right into his hands.
"Hugo Chavez has become increasingly marginalized and his influence has waned," LaBolt said. "It's baffling that Mitt Romney is so scared of a leader like Chavez whose power is fading, while Romney continues to remain silent about how to confront al-Qaida or how to bring our troops home from Afghanistan."
Associated Press writer Laura Wides-Muñoz in Miami contributed to this report.

text: Case Study Demonstrates How Proper Nutrition Impacts Transition Cows June 24, 2013 06:30 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Guest Editor Research shows that essential fatty acids have a positive impact on immune function and reproductive performance. By Dr. Joel Pankowski, Manager, Field Technical Services Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition The physiological changes and stresses surrounding calving can disrupt immune function and leave cows susceptible to a variety of disorders that can lead to management challenges later in lactation—like greater days open and lower pregnancy rates, as well as cows prematurely leaving the herd. One proven nutritional tool is to feed bypass Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids (EFAs). Research repeatedly shows that these EFAs have a positive impact on immune function and reproductive performance when adequately and properly supplied to the cow. On-Farm Case Study A recent on-farm case study1 that included more than 2,000 cows on two New York dairies took a look at the impact of feeding EFAs on immune function, reproductive performance and milk production. The premise was if a dairy could increase immune function and cows' ability to fight disease in early lactation via improved nutrition, the dairy would be able to improve reproduction and production performance and efficiencies. To verify this, these EFAs were substituted for other supplemental dietary fat sources from 21 days prepartum to 100 days postpartum; all diets were equal in energy content. Cow performance in the treatment group was tracked for nine months and compared against herd baseline data from the same months a year prior. DHIA test results, in conjunction with Dairy Comp 305® records, were used to collect and monitor data for the following parameters: • Individual cow blood β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) at seven days postpartum • Adjusted first milk yield • First linear somatic cell score (SCS) • First service conception rate • Incidence of early embryonic death at up to 35 days post-insemination BHBA Significance It is important to note that individual cow BHBA levels were of primary interest when examining the data due to their impact on immune function. Blood levels of BHBA are useful indicators of the ability of cows to deal with metabolic challenges in the transition period. The data showed cows fed EFAs pre- and postpartum exhibited significant reductions in early embryonic death (67%), BHBA levels (44%) and first linear somatic cell score (12%). As expected with healthier cows, reproductive performance, milk production and component yields also increased. Cows fed EFAs had significantly higher conception and pregnancy rates. They produced more than 6 pounds more milk per day (a 4-pound increase of fat corrected milk) and pounds of fat and pounds of protein also rose. The Bottom Line Using a partial budget for the dairies, these improvements in immune response, reproductive performance and milk production carried a significant economic advantage. The overall net benefit of feeding Omega-3 and Omega-6 EFAs for these operations was $176 per cow per year, or a 15:1 net benefit ratio. a Solids Corrected Milk Income: Corrected volume (up or down based on 3.5% fat and 3.2% protein) was calculated using MilkPay.com on October 30, 2012. b Cost of Pregnancy Loss: 67% less pregnancy loss (EED) at $207 per loss (De Vries, 2006) with a 3.4% baseline EED incidence rate. c Value of Pregnancy Rate: 2.1 percentage points improvement valued at $6.00 per point (Fricke , 2005) with a 24% baseline Pregnancy Rate. Value of pregnancy rate improvements will differ depending on individual herd baseline value. d Cost of Pretreatment Bypass Fat: $1,600 per ton (October 30, 2012) fed prepartum (21 days at a feeding rate of 0.25 lb. per head per day) and postpartum (100 days at a feeding rate of 0.75 lb. per head per day). Cost of Omega-3, Omega-6 EFAs: $1880 per ton (October 30, 2012) fed prepartum (21 days at a feeding rate of 0.25 lb. per head per day) and postpartum (100 days at a feeding rate of 0.75 lb. per head per day). Similar economic analyses for herds in other areas of the country using local milk price data have also resulted in positive net benefit ratios from including EFAs in pre- and postpartum rations. Even considering the economic response based on improved reproduction alone, the addition of these EFAs to the diet resulted in a 3:1 net benefit ratio. The field study demonstrates the positive impact of EFAs on postpartum immune function in lactating dairy cattle and reinforces the premise that healthier cows perform better. The results are consistent with previous research in which animals with increased BHBA around parturition experienced a higher risk of milk loss at the first DHIA test and impaired early lactation reproductive performance.2 1 Pankowski J, Noble J, Brennan P, Jarrett G, Block E. Effects of ruminally inert essential fatty acids on postpartum immune-related functions and productivity in lactating dairy cattle.

I'm an idiot? Panasonic LX7

Oh, guest what? Ikelite makes housing for the LX-7!!!! So there are options beside Nauticam. If you're in the market for this camera, hurry up!

I am going to run some comparative tests with the RX100 with regards to image sharpness, low light performance and stabilisation and put them on my blog
As far as I can see the HX30v has the same image stabiliser of the rx100 however it has a slow f3.2 zoom lens, as the stabiliser is optical the better results compared to the RX100 could depend by the smaller size of lens and imaging chip. Honestly I would not take anything with aperture less than f/2 in water with the HX30V you are already 2 and 1/3 fstops behind which means in low light you will be shooting at high gain which means a lot of noise on a small sensor camera
There is an ikelite housing for the lx7 and it is not massive costs around 550 if you are on a budget I would check that one

I believe you can easily do 3+ dives even with S-TTL with the wired connection even more but then you have some sync speed restrictions
Posted 07 January 2013 - 10:03 AM
Anyway, I suspect the image stabilizer in the HX30v is better than the RX100. I read that the RX100 has bigger sensor so it's harder to stabilize. Besides, if you scroll to 1:50 in this video, there is a proof:
When comparing the LX7 and the HV30v. I can notice that the HX30V is much smooth on verticle panning, as if the camera is on a float/fly cam. Horizantally they seem to be the same for me even the LX7 can only do "Standard" IS since it doesn't have "Active".
The LX7 offer more video control, I like that you can have Vivid, monocrome in video mode. The big deciding factor is the LX can offer RAW picture, which I thing it could come in handy.
As far as the HX30 being diving camera, it's all personal. I only dive in tropical water, so visibility and sunlight is good enough for 3.2F Unless it get cloudy. I'm not sure about take video during night dive yet, so I might grow into it.
As for the housing for LX7, I did consider Ikelite, but there are a couple features missing in the Ikelite, one of it is you can use the ND/Focus toggle. Also, the Ikelite doesn't allow shutter button half press to lock focus. All these are quite important to consider when you start to get serious.
Posted 07 January 2013 - 01:06 PM
For photos not much maybe Ikelite considered it more from a still point of view? I am surprised that their housing does not manage all controls

I just completed a bit of tests on wet lenses. Just waiting for a part to arrive. The auto focus of this camera is excellent and really fast though I will not be using it for pictures surely that is a great advantage compared to other cameras

The fiber optic connections, however are ultrareliable. Better than any hard wired strobe I've ever used.

Using the on camera strobe, the battery on the RX100 only last for 2 dives.
The fiber optic connections, however are ultrareliable. Better than any hard wired strobe I've ever used.
That depends on the strobe you have got. You need an Inon Z240 or a Sea and Sea YS-D1 with the RX100 and for wide angle really two otherwise the internal flash dumps a full blast, drains the battery and takes forever to re-charge

Washington D.C. 2012by Scott Medsker '03 • September 18, 2012 Share:
On Sunday, September 16, the NCAWM spent the day working with Martha's Table to help provide meals to over 1,000 needy D.C. residents. Martha's Table's mission is to help at-risk less fortunate individuals in the communities surrounding Washington, D.C. to develop their living situation into a better one through volunteer programs. While the organization focuses on improving individuals' life situations for the long-term, it also provides emergency support, largely through its McKenna's Wagon food delivery program.
Wabash alums Gary James, Tommy Ball, Andre Adeyemi, Arun Muralidhar (pictured, with sons), Dennis Whigham (pictured, in Class of '66 hat), and Scott Medsker spent Saturday working at the organization's DC headquarters. The group spent the majority of its day preparing over 1000 meals that would be served that day across the District. The group also worked on cleaning out a recently-acquired garage that, upon purchase, was found to be infested. The group cleaned the garage, which has been repaired to prevent further infestation, so that it can be used by Martha's Table without health risk.

In comments to the Science of Sports blog post on Chris Solinsky's remarkable sub-27 minute 10 km time, data on the height and mass of those who've managed to break that barrier were listed. It's interesting to see how the numbers scale:
While constant BMI certainly describes the upper bound of these data, at the lower margin, the trend is closer to a constant ratio of mass to height. It was proposed a factor may be the ability to dissipate heat, which becomes more difficult for larger runners than smaller runners at a fixed BMI.
For fun, I also plotted my numbers, and while I'll never run close to a 27 minute 10 km (40 minutes would make me happy), my dimensions certainly fit in nicely with this super-elite crowd:

The sad news is that after seven seasons on the air, "30 Rock" is finally leaving us. The good news is that it will live on in our hearts, our minds ... and our guts?
On Thursday, the one-hour series finale will bring to a close the story of Liz Lemon, Jack Donaghy and the cast and writers of "TGS." At the series finale after-party to be held Thursday night in New York City, near the real Rockefeller Center, Ben & Jerry's co-founder Jerry Greenfield, is to introduce a new flavor of ice cream inspired by the NBC comedy.

This isn't the first time Ben & Jerry's has introduced a flavor around a TV show. In 2007, the company introduced Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream on "The Colbert Report" and in 2011, it introduced Late Night Snack on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."
It's also gotten political, with a Yes, Pecan flavor in celebration of Barack Obama's electoral victory in 2008. And it changed the name of Oh! My! Apple Pie! to Apple-y Ever After in support of gay marriage.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Far from being on the brink of collapse, al-Qaida's core leadership remains a potent threat — and one that experts say has encouraged the terror network's spread into more countries today than it was operating in immediately after 9/11.
President Barack Obama, who ordered the May 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, has described al-Qaida's headquarters as "a shadow of its former self." White House spokesman Jay Carney on Tuesday called it "severely diminished" and "decimated."
The bravado, however, didn't match the Obama administration's action this week. It closed 19 U.S. diplomatic outposts stretching across the Eastern Hemisphere and evacuated nonessential personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Yemen after intelligence officials said they had intercepted a recent message from al-Qaida's top leader about plans for a major terror attack.
The new communique came from bin Laden's replacement, Ayman al-Zawahri, who as early as December 2001 announced plans to decentralize the network and scatter its affiliates across the globe as a way of ensuring its survival.
Now, major al-Qaida hubs are thriving along the Iraqi-Syrian border, in North Africa and, in the most serious risk to the U.S., in Yemen.
The regional hubs may not take direct orders from al-Zawahri, and terror experts say they rarely coordinate operations with each other or share funding and fighters. But they have promoted al-Qaida's mission far beyond what its reach was a dozen years ago and, in turn, created an enduring legacy for its core leaders.
"Even while the core al-Qaida group may be in decline, al-Qaida-ism, the movement's ideology, continues to resonate and attract new adherents," Bruce Hoffman, director of the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University, wrote in a research paper earlier this year.
Bin Laden's death, Hoffman wrote, "left behind a resilient movement that, although seriously weakened, has been expanding and consolidating its control in new and far-flung locales."
Al-Zawahri, an Egyptian whose location is unknown, issues messages to followers every few months that are posted and circulated on jihadi websites. His latest, posted July 30, lashed out at Obama for the continued U.S. detention of terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and for launching deadly drone attacks in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and other Muslim countries.
"You fought us for 13 years. ... Did we soften or toughen up? Did we back out or advance? Did we withdraw or spread out?" al-Zawahri asked Obama in his July 30 message, according to a transcript of his letter that was translated from Arabic by SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist websites.
He continued, "I call on every Muslim in every spot on Earth to seek with all that he can to stop the crimes of America and its allies against the Muslims — in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Mali, and everywhere."
Three days later, the State Department announced the temporary closing of U.S. embassies and diplomatic outposts across the Mideast, Africa and Asia — although not in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel or Mali. Officials this week said the closures were prompted by an unspecified threat to U.S. and Western interests in a message from al-Zawahri to his top lieutenant in Yemen, where al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is based.
AQAP, as the terror network's regional hub is known, is led by Nasser al-Wahishi, who for years was close to al-Zawahri and bin Laden, and is one of al-Qaida's few remaining core leaders, said SITE director Rita Katz.
Intelligence officials say AQAP has for years announced its intent to attack the U.S., and is widely considered the biggest threat to the West of the al-Qaida affiliates. The group is linked to the botched Christmas Day 2009 bombing of an airliner bound for Detroit and explosives-laden parcels intercepted aboard cargo flights a year later.
Katz said AQAP may serve as the future al-Qaida headquarters, given that al-Zawahri and other core leaders pay attention to al-Wahishi. But she warned, "There will be a new leader in the future, and I doubt it will stay the same."
For the most part, al-Qaida's regional power centers have formed in places undergoing political upheaval, where security forces are too distracted by internal war or strife to clamp down on extremists.
The civil war in Syria, now in its third year, has given al-Qaida a huge boost and an opportunity to seize land that the Sunni-based network has long yearned to control. Having a leadership role in Syria would be a victory for al-Qaida given the country's prominence in Muslim scripture, its proximity to other Arab states and the network's hatred toward Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, who include Syrian President Bashar Assad.
More than 100,000 people have died in the Syrian war, which largely pits Sunni opposition forces and rebels against Assad's Alawite regime, and has drawn fighters linked to al-Qaida. Many have come from neighboring Iraq, which itself is reeling from political instability.
Violence has risen steadily since the American military left Iraq in December 2011, fueled in part by Syrian cross-border militant traffic but also because of Baghdad's inability to curb attacks.
July was the deadliest month in Iraq in years, with attacks killing more than 1,000 people and wounding at least 2,300, according to U.N. data. And coordinated jailbreaks at two high-security Iraqi prisons last month set free hundreds of inmates, including al-Qaida extremists. Iraq's branch of al-Qaida, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, claimed responsibility for the raids that it said were planned for months.
Kenneth Pollack, who oversaw Persian Gulf issues while on the White House National Security Council during the Clinton administration, said al-Qaida is poised to gain from instability across the Mideast — in part by using Iraq as a regional hub.
"Al-Qaida in Iraq is back. They were dead in 2010, dead as doornails, and now they are huge in Iraq," Pollack said. "They have operations in Syria and they are a real movement in Syria."
But the al-Qaida fighters in Iraq and Syria have shown little interest in attacking Americans beyond the region, Pollack said, and neither have most of those in northern Africa. There, in a region that spans across the Sahel and stretches from the Mediterranean Sea to Somalia, a spread of militants are calling themselves al-Qaida in Islamic Maghreb.
AQIM is rooted in Algeria and affiliated with al-Zawahri, who in April warned French troops fighting extremists in Mali that they would face "the same fate America met in Iraq and Afghanistan" as long as they stayed. But there's no evidence the North African groups receive direct orders from al-Zawahri, and most are as motivated by asserting local authority through criminal activity as by anti-Western ideology.
It's believed that AQIM was linked to some of the militants behind last year's attack on a diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. And AQIM is suspected of driving overloaded trucks of rifles, mortars and other weapons from Libya to Mali and Niger to arm allies there.
Al-Zawahri also urged Muslims to join Somali militants in a message last November. The Somali-based militant group al-Shabab is loosely linked to al-Qaida, but some of its members have plotted attacks against the United States, where large pockets of Somalis have moved to escape famine and war over the last 20 years.
An inevitable part of al-Qaida's growth is its new regional leadership — few of whom fought with bin Laden or have ever worked with al-Zawahri, Katz said. They may not all be driven by the same anti-American or anti-Western fervors that motivated bin Laden, but that makes them no less a global threat as the disparate groups mature.
"In the past, people wanted to go to Afghanistan; it was the dream of every possible jihadi on the front to go to Afghanistan to fight in al-Qaida training camps," Katz said. "You don't see that anymore. No one cares about what's happening in Afghanistan.
"If anyone wants to go anywhere today it is, of course, Syria," she said. "Going to Yemen is always a good thing for them; going to Somalia is less than it used to be, but it's still another possibility. Things change all the time."

Welcome to the CRG Discussion Forum!Forum registration problems: Make sure you enter your email correctly and you check your spam box first. *Then* email KurtS2@gmail for help.Classified ads are not allowed on the forum.
1st thing I would recommend is getting lots of different size ziplock bags or what you prefer and storage boxes or totes to put components in and a log book to write down different aspects such as making diagrams, documenting part #'s, etc.. along with taking pictures of everything,even stuff you are not sure of their significance. Make sure they are close up, detailed pics too as to see how stuff was mounted,how it comes apart and markings and paint details. Buy an AIM and put it in the reading room (translates bathroom for me) and study it as compared to what you are dis-assembling. If you damage a bolt or anything save it as well in the baggies to compare when you replace with like kind.Save all old gaskets and weatherstrip as samples to compare against replacements. I feel a complete dis-assembly is the only way to do a quality job, but you better decide before the 1st bolt is removed if you have the fortitude and funds to see it through and this may be a long term process. The less you remove, the more compromised the quality of resto, as masking around stuff is usually harder and more detectable as amateur-ish. If you do not feel you have the stomach for this, then my advice would be to leave the car alone and keep it original refurbishing only components needed to make car function well. The next step would be to study what parts are available, their costs. My own preference would be used good parts opposed to reproduction or carefully considering the quality differences which are almost all covered here on the site in forum posts which will save time and money by doing your homework first, except for soft parts like weatherstripping were NOS or good original is hard to find and cost prohibitive for most. Be aware that it will cost about the same whether it is a Z or a 6 cylinder with the exception of some engine components so a restoration has to be a passion with the understanding that the whole endeavor probably will cost more than what the end result will be worth.The word restoration is mis-used as it means to restore as original. Good luck.
Excellent advice all around! I am in tear down phase of my '69 now. Couple of other ideas:1. I make notes of particularly difficult disassemblies.2. I will write the AIM section, page, and part number on the ziplock bag.3. I have a number of storage bins. I keep a list of what is in each bin.4. Another catalog worth having is AMK fasteners. They do a nice job of cross referencing with the GM part numbers from the AIM.5. I tend to blast and repaint parts during disassembly.Enjoy! this is amazingly relaxing and fun work.

Five generations deep – pillow bashing and powder slashing have never been more fun. The six reincarnation of the Bent Chetler will yet again take the world of powder skiing a leap forward, with the introduction of brand new Atomic HRZN Tech.
Word is out.
The brand new Atomic Bent Chetler looks very different this year; particularly the completely redesigned tip and tail has everyone talking. For over five years Chris Benchetler redefined what is possible on skis in the backcountry with the help of his pro model: the Bent Chetler – which has attained somewhat of a cult status in the freeski scene. Years of development have gone into the sixth generation Bent Chetler, which was recently spotted on the feet of Richard Permin and Tim Durtschi competing at the Skiers Cup. Their initial reviews are overwhelmingly positive and they are just as thrilled by the new tip and tail design and HRZN Tech as Chris Benchetler.
What is HRZN Tech?
HRZN Tech is the result of two years testing by Chris Benchetler and the Atomic Freeski product development team in Altenmarkt, Austria.
The aim was to create the ultimate design for playing in all types of powder. Having tried everything from shaved edges, to boat hulls, to totally new camber profiles, the eureka moment came by expanding the horizons of rocker. By blending an ABS sidewall construction with a revolutionary across-the-ski (horizontal) rocker, HRZN Tech adds 10% more surface area in the tip and tail without increasing swing weight. This encourages far better tracking through chop and crud, and less tip deflection – meaning increased stability, floatation and agility. This tip and tail design is set to reshape the future of powder skis.
What else is new in the sixth Bent Chetler?
While HRZN Tech is the big news for the new Bent Chetler, Atomic have made several other improvements and tweaks. The ski now features a Lite Woodcore, making the ski even lighter, as well as the new Step Down Sidewall 2.0 for increased durability. The 120mm waist combined with perfect tip and tail raise of the Powder Rocker of its predecessor, ensures limitless floatation in the deep stuff. The camber underfoot and Carbon Sprocket Power Boosters deliver uncompromising performance through turns as well as stability in crud. All this means the Bent Chetler remains the ultimate play tool for powder missions.
'Six years in the building! This is definitely the best Bent Chetler ski we've created. HRZN Tech is an invention that really boosts your confidence and helps you ski freely. I can't wait for people to try it.' – Chris Benchetler, Atomic Freeski Athlete

FEMA Deadline Passes in NJ
The deadline has passed for New Jerseyans seeking aid for Superstorm Sandy damage to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
FEMA says it received 332 new registrants before Wednesday's 11:59 p.m. deadline.
Residents who have been turned down for assistance have 60 days from the date of the rejection letter to appeal the denial or why they feel the payment is inadequate.
Four disaster recovery centers in Brick Township, Toms River, Union Beach and Mays Landing will transition to Small Business Administration disaster loan centers on Saturday.
FEMA says it has approved nearly $391 million in grants to individuals and households in New Jersey since Sandy hit little more than six months ago.

Its price point is 249.99 All California produced components Its got a standard 18.8mm joint. Its main body is about a 1/3 LB in weight. It's glass. Thick glass! Its has ground joint connectors on everything for everything. Its got a 60W Ceramic heater Here is the kicker..... Our company embraces modifying the heating element. Its user serviceable with simple tools and our PDF instruction manual. We have a titanium heating element that we will likely release once our first few rounds of vaporizers have been released. Its an expensive upgrade to stock for everyone at this moment, BUT what this means is that if you would like to upgrade for a higher heat range (750F), you don't need to change vaporizers to do so and we will help you do it. For those of you who cannot do it yourself, send it to us and your warranty should cover it. (1 year included free, upgrade-able to 3-5 year and lifetime warranty) Here is an infographic that will be updated once we get some more photos of our current adapters. Just in case you are wondering, that plastic adapter at the bottom right is our current vapor bag valve. There is a rubber o-ring for this thats not in the image.

Washing Cups Guide
The Jewish ritual of hand washing is one that occurs many times throughout every day, and also on various particular or special occasions. It is practiced primarily by religiously observant Jews for spiritual and religious reasons, not for reasons of health or cleanliness (though, of course, it is good to wash hands for those reasons too!) But unlike washing the hands for reasons of cleanliness, it involves a special ritual, which includes pouring the water from a washing cup or pitcher over the hands. This makes washing a more conscious and deliberate ritual act, turning what would be mundane and ordinary into something holy. Ritual hand washing is usually accompanied by a special blessing known as "Netilat Yadayim" (literally, "raising of the hands.")
Hand Washing Before Meals
The ritual of washing the hands is most frequently performed before consuming any meal containing bread. The practice is to pour water from a washing cup or glass first two times over the right hand, then two times over the left. (Some traditions prescribe pouring the water three times over each hand instead of two.) It is important that one's unwashed hands do not touch the water to be used for the washing. It is also important that once one hand is washed, it does not touch the other, unwashed hand. For this very practical reason, many washing cups are made with two handles, making it easier to keep the two hands from touching each other in the middle of the process. Then the hands are lifted and dried with a towel, and the blessing is recited. It is customary not to speak between saying the "Netilat Yadayim" blessing, after washing the hands, and the "Motzi" blessing, just before eating bread.
Hand Washing at Other Times
Observant Jews also ritually wash their hands with a similar procedure first thing after getting up each morning. One difference is that the water is poured three times over each hand while alternating between them (instead of two or three times over each hand consecutively). Ritual hand washing is also performed immediately after using the bathroom, and then it is followed by the "Asher Yatzar" prayer, which thanks G-d for the miraculous intricacy of the human body.
Hand Washing for Other Occasions
The Passover Seder includes the usual ritual for washing hands and saying the "Netilat Yadayim" blessing before eating a meal containing bread (in this case, matzah). However, it also includes an additional step for washing the hands earlier in the service (before eating the green vegetable). At this point, however, the hands are washed without saying a blessing.
Washing Cups
Whether or not one engages in the ritual of hand washing as a daily practice, hand washing cups can be a lovely addition to any Judaica collection. Those for everyday use can be quite simple and made of any inexpensive material such as metal or plastic, while the more collectible variety are often made from finer materials, including ceramic, copper, silver, or glass. Washing cups are often inscribed with the Hebrew words "Netilat Yadayim" or other Jewish symbols and are sometimes accompanied by special towels or basins in which to pour the water.
