Program Information
The Environmental Science program encourages students to develop an appreciation of the importance to life and society of the natural and humanized environment in the past, present and future; an understanding of nature's integrity, including both natural and human processes affecting environmental change; insight into basic causes of and possible solutions to important environmental problems; and skills for defining and furthering environmentally sound action. Attaining these goals requires grounding in several disciplines as well as integrative study of environmental systems and environmental ethics and institutions. To accomplish these interdisciplinary objectives, the Environmental Science program has a two-tiered structure: a core set of courses, and upper level electives from which the student can choose to emphasize the natural or social sciences. At Willamette, the Environmental and Earth Science departmental offerings are concentrated in the fields of geography and geology. Geography is primarily concerned with explaining the spatial distribution of and relations among various features of the earth -- human and cultural as well as biological and physical features. Geology is the study of the Earth -- its chemical and mineralogical composition, the structure of its materials and the current and past processes that have acted upon it. Both disciplines are deeply concerned with the ties between the nature of our physical environment and the quality of human life. Four departments contribute additional faculty and courses to our program.
Education in environmental science may provide career opportunities in government service or business (e.g., resource management, environmental impact assessment) and in public interest work. It is useful preparation, especially in combination with a second major, for possible careers in teaching, journalism, politics, and business, or for those who plan to enter graduate or professional school in fields such as environmental science, biology, geography, public policy, law, public health or other sciences. For Environmental Science majors considering graduate study, a minor or second major in one of the contributing disciplines is strongly recommended.
The student in Environmental Science at Willamette is well situated to pursue his or her studies. For field study, a great diversity of environments and land-use practices can be found within a short distance -- everything from the Pacific Ocean to the Cascades, from wilderness to cities. As a state, Oregon has pioneered in many aspects of environmental management. The University's location, just across the street from the Capitol and other government offices, facilitates practical learning and involvement.

I love Halloween, it might just be my favorite holiday. Probably because I have a sweet tooth like no other….thus the need for a treat bag for my 2 1/2 year old to fill full of candy
for me to eat. Anyways, this is a simple lined tote bag with a boxed bottom, it took me about 40 min. to complete and cost about 5 bucks. It is toddler sized, about 11" by 13", but I'll give you tips on how to easily make it bigger. Simple totes like this are great for library bags and just about anything else you want to stuff in a bag, but in this case it will hopefully be full of candy….preferably Milky Ways.
You'll need a 1/2 yard of exterior fabric (I used home weight fabric to make it stable) and a 1/2 yard interior fabric. If you're making this larger than my toddler sized version you might need an 1/8 yard for the handle, but you'll probably have enough left over to make it from your lining fabric.
If your going to appliqué something on the outside you'll need those supplies too, I used felt and was going to use embroidery floss….but didn't.
Cut 2 rectangles each of your exterior fabric and lining fabric. For my small toddler size I cut my rectangles 12" by 15", if you want a bigger tote I would add four or five inches to both sides.
For the straps you'll cut 2 rectangles 5" by 16", (or 5" by 21" for a larger tote) I cut my straps from my leftover lining fabric.
**** If you want to appliqué something on the outside of your bag, now is a good time to do it. See the bottom of the tutorial for more details.
Sew around the sides and bottom of the exterior using a 1/4" seam allowance. Press side seams open.
To box the corners, I put my hand in the bag at the corner and simply pinch the side and bottom seams together, its confusing to look at but once you try it you'll see what I mean. Try to line up your side and bottom seam making a nice triangle.
Stick a pin about 2" in from the corner and repeat on the opposite corner.
Now sew where you placed that pin, sewing a straight line perpendicular to the corner. Then cut the extra off. You now will have a nice boxed bottom to your bag, easy as pie.
Now do the same with your lining, EXCEPT when you are sewing around the sides and bottom of the rectangles, leave a 4-5" opening at the bottom. This is how you will turn the bag right side out after the exterior and lining are sewn together. Box the corners of your lining just like you did with the exterior.
Turn your lining right side out and place into your exterior that is wrong side out. Right sides should be facing each other.
Match up the top side seams and edges, pin, and sew with a 1/2" seam allowance around the top of the bag.
Turn the bag right side out through the hole in the bottom of the lining. It should look like the picture below. Sew the hole closed at the bottom of the lining.
Place the lining down into the bag, iron your top edges, and topstitch about an 1/8" or so from the edge.
To make the straps take your 5" by 16" pieces (or 5" by 21" for larger bags) and follow pictures below.
1. Iron edges 1/4" in on both ends. Fold strap in half and iron a crease in the middle.
2. Iron both edges into the crease.
3. Fold over creased edges to hide raw edges and sew around all sides of each strip as close to the edge as possible.
4. Attach to the bag with a pin about 2" from each side and 2" down. You can eyeball the first side.
Sew the strap on to the bag along all sides and crossing in the middle for strength.
And there you have it, a perfectly sized tote bag for your little one to fill full of candy.
*** Appliqué instructions***
For the appliqué on this bag I used felt (the cheap, iron friendly kind you buy in sheets), Heat'n Bond appliqué material, and my sewing machines blanket stitch. I followed the instructions on the Heat'n Bond by attaching my felt to the appliqué material, then drawing my picture with a pencil on the felt (or back if you want) and cutting it out. You then peel off the back and place it on the fabric where you want. Its easiest to do this at the very beginning when you've just cut your exterior fabric out, but make sure to steer clear of the edges at least 1". The appliqué material doesn't attach to the felt very well, but good enough so you can get it sewn on. Then just sew around your appliqué with a blanket or zig zag stitch to make it permanent.

MORE than 10,000 people flocked to Crooklands at the weekend to celebrate quality local produce.
Country Fest — organised by Westmorland Agricultural Society — showcased the finest food and drink the area has to offer.
Independent food and drink producers and suppliers, who give the region its culinary reputation, tempted the senses at the County Showfield and gave visitors an insight into where their food comes from.
The family event also included a pets' corner, 'meet the farmer', sheep shearing demonstrations, music and dance, a 'grow your own' area, crafts, beer festival, trade stands and dog shows.
Sheep dog trials were a new addition this year and The Westmorland Gazette hosted a wedding fair.
Richard and Barbara Mathews, from Kendal, were impressed with the range of items on sale and stocked up on locally-produced pies.
"We have such a wide variety of food here," said Mr Mathews.
"We have got a lot of farmers who are extending what they do into other products and we like to support them."
Tommy Brady, also from Lancaster, said: "The amount of food that is available is amazing. There are umpteen different types of sausage and pies — you want to buy it all."
Christine Knipe, chief executive of Westmorland Agricultural Society, said: "The sunshine did bring people out on the Sunday and it was very busy.
"The feedback was positive."
3:34pm Wednesday 6th April 2011
GARDENERS' World presenter Carol Klein has been confirmed as the special guest at The Holker Garden Festival June 3 and 5.

OKALOOSA ISLAND —As their parents watched from the water's edge, the Asprodites children laughed as they splashed each other and kicked up water in the Gulf of Mexico behind The Boardwalk.
"It's fabulous," their father Wayne Asprodites said of the weather. "It's just a great day."
It looked like a normal Saturday on the Emerald Coast — a baby blue sky, white fluffy clouds and a packed beach — except the Asprodites family and many others stayed only ankle-deep in the water, mindful of the double-red flags flying.
"Most people are afraid of the waves, but we're not," 13-year-old Joshua Asprodites said.
A weakened Tropical Storm Karen continued to creep slowly toward Louisiana late Saturday afternoon, bringing high surf and strong rip tides to the area. It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, making it a weak tropical storm.
See photos of people enjoying the sunny day. >>
The center was expected to make landfall late Saturday night or this morning.
Still, the Emerald Coast may see 1 to 2 inches of rain or more in some areas. Strong winds are possible Sunday and Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
As Karen continued to weaken, local public safety agencies downgraded their emergency preparations Saturday afternoon.
Okaloosa County's three airports remained open despite an earlier decision to close them.
The Walton County emergency operations center was at Level III activation.
Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties deactivated their emergency operations centers.
Staff at all the EOCs would continue to monitor the storm and reactivate if needed.
While double-red flags flew on Okaloosa and Walton beaches, single-red flags flew in Santa Rosa County. Public beach accesses on Okaloosa Island also were closed Saturday.
Still, the beach was packed behind The Boardwalk.
Locals Vernique Wells and Kayla Fontemot said they had stocked up on gas, food and water earlier in the week. The two are originally from Omaha, Neb., and said they had been a bit excited for their first tropical storm.
They still expected some bad weather on Sunday.
"I think we're going to ride it out tomorrow and see how it's going to go," Fontemot said.
At the Winn-Dixie in Destin, manager Kay Bridgman said she noticed many people buying groceries for the weekend likely because the Destin Seafood Festival was canceled.
She hadn't seen many people "going crazy" over hurricane supplies.
"I think people are listening to the news and it's not as bad as first predicted," Bridgman said.
The Emerald Coast Fall Classic was going strong Saturday afternoon at The Boardwalk. Rachel Lawley of Atlanta had been in town since Thursday for the volleyball tournament.
Even if Karen had made landfall earlier on the weekend, Lawley said she would have found something fun to do.
"A bad day at the beach is still better than a good day in Atlanta," she said.

I have been absent from my blog. I started teaching my Advanced African American Genealogy course at Howard County Community College, and I've spent the last few weeks revamping my class from last semester. I'm always excited about the class and meeting my students. So I haven't had alot of time to post lately, but I plan to remedy that this weekend. For now, I thought I'd share some of my most favorite, coolest websites in the world. Well, maybe that's a little strong, but these are some that I tend to go back to again & again:
- Rootsweb Books We Own: Ask someone to do a lookup for you. And when you purchase books, do lookups for others. I am registered for several books and I do it all the time. LOVE THIS.
- Historical Census Browser: Great site for adding statistics to your family history write-up. Wanna know how many freed blacks there were in Montgomery County, MD in 1860? You can find that here. How many slaveowners in 1850? Yep, that too.
- Jackson-Davis Collection of African-American Educational Photographs: Some hidden jewels–pictures of black schools in the South. Maybe your ancestor's school?
- Railroad Maps Collection: A great collection of maps from the Library of Congress. Understand what railways ran through your ancestor's area…may give you some clues to migration.
- Library of Virginia Chancery Court Index and IMAGES: Online original records. Court records. It simply gets no better than this (all counties are not completed yet).
- Homecoming: The Story of Black Farmers: That's what most of our ancestors were. This site has an incredible amount of information and resources.
- Census Maps: When were those counties formed anyway?
- The Geography of Slavery in Virginia: Runaway slave ads from VA (mostly 18th century). Heartwrenching.
- Slave Letter Collection at Duke University: No words required.
- The Transatlantic Slave Trade: Breaking the Silence: One of the best online timeline/overview of the slave trade I've ever read.
Hope you find some little nuggets above that you find interesting. If you know of a great website you've utilized for your genealogy research (besides the major ones we all know: Library of Congress, Cyndi's list, NARA, Ancestry, Footnote, all the newspaper ones, etc.) please do share in the comments here.

Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
The Office is an Emmy-Award winning American television sitcom airing on NBC and developed by Greg Daniels. It is an American adaptation of the BBC series with the same name and depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Unlike many American sitcoms, The Office is shot in a single-camera setup, without a studio audience or a laugh track, and is made in the form of a documentary, or "mockumentary". Although fictional and scripted, the presence of the camera is openly acknowledged.
The Office was adapted for American audiences by executive producer Greg Daniels, a veteran writer for Saturday Night Live, King of the Hill, The Rugrats and The Simpsons. Original series creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who wrote "The Convict" episode, have production credits. It is co-produced by Greg Daniels' Deedle-Dee Productions and Reveille Productions, in association with NBC Universal Television Studios. The show debuted on NBC as a midseason replacement on March 24, 2005, replacing the sitcom Committed.

Curious Collections: Identifying a Rare Bird
by AMNH on
Ornithologists generally discover new species by collecting them in the wild. But early in the 20th century, Museum ornithologist James P. Chapin found one on a hat.
In 1913, Chapin, while serving as an assistant to German taxidermist and photographer Herbert Lang on what would become known as the Lang-Chapin Expedition to the Belgian Congo, came upon a native of the Ituri forest wearing a headdress with a distinctive feather. To the young naturalist, it suggested a pheasant or peacock, a strange possibility since these birds were native to Asia. Curious, he took it.

Sure, it would work the same way a bug hitting your windshield slows down your car. A spaceship wouldn't have enough mass to make a noticeable difference to a huge rock hurling through space at incredible speed. This idea is just silly.

If there's a rock heading to earth, I'm just going to assume humanity's number was up, then travel to the crash site so I can be among the first to die in the glorious inferno. All the better if I could be flying a plane above the crash site, finally put my pilot's license to good use.

The biggest risk to planetary defence is that we only actively scan 3% of the sky. A World ending meteor could hit us any second and we'd never know until the second before it hit.
Posted 09 December 2012 - 00:33
You are making wrong assumptions though. On Earth we are bound to the surface by gravity and thus a car traveling at xxx speed being hit by a bug flying at xxx won't affect the speed of the vehicle much (it does actually, but it's an extremely small amount). In space, there is no gravity and as you (should) know, objects in space just keep going in whatever direction they are going, unless something else acts upon it. So a spacecraft traveling at a high velocity in space smashing into a huge asteroid (or small one, doesn't matter) does have a small effect on the object it hits. We are talking about again, really small amounts here. But you only have to change it's orbit by a small amount for it to bypass a direct collision with Earth.
They are thinking the same sorts of ideas with using spacecraft with just it's own gravity (again, however small it may be), to pull and/or push any approaching object into a more agreeable orbit. The laser/microwave thought is that vaporizing surface volatiles will give off enough exhaust particles to change the orbit path of the object.
Also, while we are only looking at a very small percentage of the sky with NASA and other space agency telescopes, many people around the world are looking through their own telescopes, and any object big enough to be a threat would still be seen pretty far out there. It would take a very fast object in a blind spot so to speak, to hit us literally without warning. That's not to say that can't happen, of course it can. But the likelihood is pretty tiny I'd say.

Advice on recovery from ankle fracture
Been riding on-road for 45 years and decided to take an off-road course to sharpen my on-road skills; form of cross-training. While excelling (i.e., probably going faster than I should have been) in higher speed turns on hard packed dirt I managed to drop the bike and my left foot came up pointing 90 degrees to the side. I have a closed spiral fracture of my distal fibula and transverse fracture of my medial malleolus, which allowed my foot to rotate laterally. Apparently the articular surface of the heal bone (talus) was scraped by the tibia as the heal rotated laterally. My foot was re-aligned within 10 minutes and I had surgery within 5 hours of the accident. The fibula was plated and the medial malleolus has a single screw in it. I was told 4 weeks non-weight bearing, 4 weeks in a boot and 4 weeks in normal shoes, but no heavy duty use. I'm 6 days out and have been surprised the pain has been far greater after the surgery than prior to it. If I go any distance on the crutches or leave my leg down for extended periods my toes start to swell and the ankle begins to ache. I've limited my intake of hydrocodone, but usually need it to sleep. Last night was the first time I was able to sleep off my back. I rolled to the right and placed a pillow between my legs.
I would very much appreciate any insights from anyone who has suffered a similar injury regarding things like when will the pain subside, when in the boot will I still need crutches-if so how long, what will my foot feel like when back in shoes (painful or just different), what your experience is years later, etc??? I realize every fracture is different so I am searching for a general range of experiences.

I had a fracture of my right tibia and fibula along with massive damage to the medial ligaments a few years ago. I was 50 at the time. I had also injured them several times while in the Army. While the bones healed up after 3 months, the ligaments did not fare so well. I now say that the only thing holding my right ankle together is "skin" and has limited my ability to play action type sports like football, basketball, etc.
Your injury sounds similar to mine. My advice is to not try to hurry the recovery. You don't want to develop a "failed fusion" of the bones where they never actually grow back together. Additionally, try to get some rehab for your ankle once your cast is off and you are able to ambultate to help restore the proprioception of your ankle joint.
Also, wear some good MX boots when trying to do off-road which I am now doing. My road boots did not provide sufficient support to my ankles for off-roading.
FWIW, I had to keep my foot elevated for almost a month due to the swelling resulting from the ligamentous damage. So don't freak out about your current status.

Ankles are a real PITA to stabilize and heal after such an injury. After a car accident 18 years ago, I needed over twenty hours of reconstructive surgery to plate and screw bones everywhere but my left ankle. That ankle was only badly twisted and sprained.
Go figure. My left ankle remained the size of a grapefruit for a year afterward. All of the "bad" injuries healed up fine, to where I don't notice anything now. It has taken a lot of work to get the left ankle stable enough that I can run without problems. You need to listen to your doc and do all of the therapy. Be patient! You will probably need a compression support sleeve to stabilize the ligaments. Expect to be able to predict the weather.
Even a broken hip later didn't give me near the problems of that damned ankle! The hip is fine now.
Get good boots with solid ankle support! Alpinestars Tech-8's have been great for me. Even with my gimpy left ankle I've walked away from drops where my foot gets turned like that. You will need similar sturdy boots for street riding as well. Believe me, nothing is worse than putting your foot down at a stop, only to notice the "Out to Lunch" sign where you're counting on foot support.
Good luck with the healing!

Thanks for the input. Due to decades of aggressive racquet sports I developed degenerative joint disease in my right knee. I gave up sports a decade ago because of the associated knee pain and risk of accelerating the need for an artificial knee. What I am hoping for with my foot is relatively pain free walking and bicycle riding.

As a start I would get your vitamin D-3 levels checked. Get a good, bioavailable multi mineral/magnesium supplement, and check your urine PH 3X/day.
If you're eating the SAD diet (standard american diet) you'll probably find you're on the acidic side of neutral (7). If so, you're loosing minerals from your bones to buffer that acidic PH which makes it hard for you to repair the fracture.

Once you are able to, work on building muscle strength. The ligaments and other connective tissue don't recover as well.
I have ankle problems just from sprains. Some of it is from weak joints genetically, with hyper-flexibility. But I've gotten a few big/serious sprains, and my ankle still makes grinding noises if I move it wrong.

my docs said no supplements will help if you have a healthy diet, but suggested calcium tablets only if diet didnt provide this (e.g. not drinking milk). once the docs clear you for load bearing, get in heaps of exercise and stretching. you'll probably find the ankle will never 100% recover but continuing exercise and stretches etc in the years ahead will maximize what you can regain, and protect ligaments in future spills.

I already was taking supplements of Vit D3, Ca/Mg and a multivitamen and have for a very long time been on an excellent diet as my wife is borderline vegetarian; we do eat poultry, fish, dairy products, eggs etc...just no red meat or anything fried.
During my active years as a vet, now retired, I stayed up with the literature on glucosamine and chondrotin sulfate. Most of the credible studies came to the conclusion that for chronic arthritis it is a waste of money. I recalled one study in sheep where there was a statistical benefit in acute joint injury; therefore, I figure I've got nothing to loose but a few bucks.

When you get older, things tend to break.
You need to use good gear and try not to crash.
I suspect your future dirt riding might be limited?
I crashed bad last year, and have not been dirt riding since (no bike).
I was looking for a tw200, I might be able to ride that without it ending in a helicopter ride, maybe..
After dirt riding for 40 years, I have one leg that works right.
All my other limbs (plus my back) are trashed.
I did break my ankle on the working leg, but it does not bother me at all.
The damage was nothing like yours.
Hope you heal up 100%!

I was 8 weeks on crutches then permitted to start weight bearing. Took me 2 weeks to get off the crutches and walk unassisted wearing a rigid brace with a limp. Be patient. Swelling was an issue for six months. Oxycontin was my friend. Wish you well.

I've had two fractures of the left leg. I am now a year and a half since the last and have progressed very well.
Be careful with the swelling. You may think you should be more mobile but swelling interferes with healing so keeping it up above your heart as much as possible. Any increase in pain or severe swelling should be reported to the dr. as it could be complications.
I used to do leg lifts every morning and night while laying in bed, good for the abs as well.
Pain is not your friend so when you do start physio do not push to pain. Good physio is hard to find I would look for someone who does a lot of orthopaedic work especially if they have rights in a gym and pool. A lot of good exercises can be done in the pool that you wouldn't be able to do on the ground.
The biggest trick is to get flexibility back, to that end I have found doing Tai Chi extremely beneficial.
When you get a walking cast you begin applying different percentages of weight bearing. Until you are able to do 70% or so then you toss the crutches and use a cane for several weeks.
Just listen to your body and progress as it lets you progress and you will be fine.
Good luck,

Keywords: ARTHRITIS - Osteoarthritis, Chondroitin Sulfate, Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Glucosamine Sulfate
Reference: "Recent Advances in Glucosamine and Chondroitin Supplementation," Owens S, Wagner P, Vangsness CT, J Knee Surg, October 2004;17(4):185-193. (Address: C. Thomas Vangsness Jr, MD, Dept Orthopedic Surg, Keck School Med, Univ Southern California, Healthcare Consultation Center, 1520 San Pablo St, #200, Los Angeles, CA 90033-4608, USA)
Summary: One out of every 8 Americans report having arthritis, and >50% of people older than 65 years of age report arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a significant health problem in developed countries. Cartilage degeneration, osseous eburnation and osteophytosis, synovial hypertrophy and an inflammatory and proteolytic synovial fluid environment are key elements of this disease process. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents have been the mainstay of treatment, but they do nothing for the pathogenesis of the disease. They increase the risk of peptic ulcer, renal hypertension and hemorrhage and are problematic in the elderly. There is a growing concern that nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs have a negative effect on cartilage metabolism. Ibuprofen and fenoprofen have been shown in vitro to reduce glycosaminoglycan synthesis in canine cartilage, and indomethacin has been shown to speed the progression of osteoarthritis in humans. Glucosamine and chondroitin are very important parts of the cartilaginous matrix. Glucosamine is a topical agent which was first used in 1969 in arthritis patients. It has been used for the past 15 years in Europe and Asia. It became popular in the United States after the 1997 publication of The Arthritis Cure. The Arthritis Foundation maintains a neutral position regarding the use of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, and notes that there are no long-term studies and if used, it should be used only for several months unless there is benefit, then it may be continued. Glucosamine hydrochloride has a purity of 99% compared with glucosamine sulfate having a purity of 74%. This equates to a dose equivalent of 2,608 mg glucosamine sulfate for a 1,500-mg dose of glucosamine hydrochloride. The oral absorption rate of glucosamine hydrochloride compared with glucosamine sulfate has been shown to be equivalent. Chondroitin sulfate has a lower oral absorption of about 70%. Most of the studies have been done on glucosamine sulfate when given by itself. Studies have shown improvement in pain and range of motion. Glucosamine sulfate by itself at 1,500 mg/day compared with 1,200 mg/day of ibuprofen has shown a delayed but progressive and longer-lasting effect. Glucosamine hydrochloride by itself has shown an insignificant improvement in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index score over placebo, although there have been positive trends in the glucosamine group. A daily diary by each subject has shown significantly less pain with glucosamine hydrochloride than placebo, and the knee range of motion was significantly better at the end of the study with glucosamine hydrochloride. Studies with glucosamine have shown less joint space narrowing over placebo over a 3-year period. Several chondroitin trials showed reduction in pain and improvement in joint function in osteoarthritis, as well as a lower number of joints involved in osteoarthritic erosions. Experimental studies have shown a synergistic effect with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate when given together, with a greater increase in glycosaminoglycan production than for either agent alone, although the mechanism of action may be different for each agent. The combination of glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate and manganese ascorbate showed only improvement in knee pain, without any benefit to the back. The National Institutes of Health is currently conducting a study with glucosamine/chondroitin, called the Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial (GAIT), involving the following groups: placebo; chondroitin sulfate with glucosamine; glucosamine alone; chondroitin sulfate alone; and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Results of the GAIT trial will be available in November 2005. The current recommendations of 1,500 mg of glucosamine and 1,200 mg of chondroitin are accepted by the Arthritis Foundation, but the products should be discontinued if symptoms do not improve within a few months. Overall, the results of glucosamine and chondroitin in treating osteoarthritis have been favorable. Although no long-term studies have been done, there are very minor side effects to short-term use of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Glucosamine's effect on insulin resistance needs to be followed. Also, glucosamine's purity has been shown to vary from product to product.

+1 to good boots!
I had an undisplaced spiral fracture of my right fibula, along with crushing of my foot and ankle after a bit of a boneheaded manouver...thankfully, no ligament or tendon damage, and no surgery needed.
Aircasts (walking boot) make me wary after mine allowed the break to move enough that even after 6 months there was unhealed bone. 8 weeks no weight, 4 months light activity, then back to no weight for 8 weeks...
It was roughly ten days before the swelling started to subside. Until then, if my foot was not raised, it was very painful.
Tylenol 3's don't work for roughly 30% of people, because not everyone has the enzyme to turn codeine to morphine.
Two and a half years later, I still have bruising on my foot, and the doc says it may not ever go away completely.
I don't ride without my Alpinestars now. I would have walked away if I was wearing them.

I was googling around for various stuff and came upon this site.... never heard of it before. It was actually quite interesting.
At times I felt like saying... "Ohhhhh! We know that! We have a whole thread about that!"
I wonder how many other sites devouted to TP or DW there are.....

Well I been trying out doing a bag, I used the Bear Paw block finish size 20 inches, as you will see by the photos working from the top one which is the rotary cut, next is one of the 2 blocks I did then with the wadding/batting on the back & I had quilted stitch in the ditch, & last the finished results.
Now I will share what I found first to do a smaller block & add borders as I have lost some of the block with assemble, next, I would put fabric on the back of the wadding okay yes you can get away with it but I was using a Polyester one & it gets caught on the feet may be okay with a different wadding but as I was using what I can get locally rather than the good stuff what I would use for quilts I think it needs some fabric on back even if it something I hate as it not seen.
I also know I made some mistakes first the handles put them on wrong I think I should have put them on the block but on the wrong side not the right side just me as I can see the mistakes, the inside fabric is the green which is in the block I not taken a photo of that as while I suppose you can reverse it what would be the point if you done all that work on the block well I will be trying more bags using blocks but will do it like I said smaller block with borders.

Very nice job! I really can't see the mistakes from the photos, so I wouldn't worry about it.

- " AVOID! This has been the worst experience in a hostel I've ever had; the staff are just plain uninterested in their clients, the WiFi is really weak and in reception only in 2hr time slots (and you are not allowed to Skype!), beds are super slim and hard. Breakfast is pathetic, complete with heavily watered down juice, (plus more poor service) rooms are NOTHING like the pictures, no plugs in sinks, etc etc. I booked for 7 nights, but left after 2, (Oh and they refused me the refund too!) Awful "
- 22 Feb 2013 Anonymous England
- " Good clean hostel.basic facilities,but well looked after,with quality breakfast and lunch. "
- 23 Sep 2012 Andriy
- " This is a modernist hostel, build as one of Europe's first 'youth hostels' in the 1960s. It still maintains the aura of the time. It has private rooms, but there is a great and cheap cafeteria, so there is still a place to meet people. Breakfast is included and very generous. I would definitely recommend it to others. It is a bit far from the tourist attractions, but the Paris metro solves that problem easily. "

Eggs and the Spring Equinox
The Equinox is upon us; the earth is perfectly balanced between darkness and light. As the day and night find their balance on March 20th and 21st, so apparently, does an egg. A friend of mine told me that during the Spring Equinox you can stand an egg on end… incredible right?
It turns out that the tradition goes back to China. The egg, a universal symbol of fertility, was balanced on end during the Equinox to symbolize that all of nature was in harmony. This ritual has been carried over to many traditions, including in part the western tradition of the Easter Egg. But, while the idea of standing an egg on end during the equinox is rich with symbolism and meaning, there's a catch… With a little patience and persistence one can actually balance an egg on end all year round!
Have you given this a try?


text: They aren't worried about small things like a curse word every now and then. Why should they be? They are better off concentrating on the more important things because lets face it, Curse words don't have as much meaning as they use too. I don't think it's a big deal. I think as long as they continue to grow and develop in the positive way they have been, then curse away.

With a warm Mediterranean climate, terrain similar to that of pre-development California, and perfect right-hand point breaks dotting the coast, Morocco is a true surfer's paradise. While there are beachbreaks and the odd left scattered throughout, the real gems of Morocco are the right-handers. Beginning with the mystical and once secret Safi in the middle of the country and stretching south into the vast Sahara Desert (where there are rumors of Snapper-like points existing), Morocco welcomes the intrepid surf explorer. A wintertime destination, the best swells hit Morocco from November through February, when giant storm systems slam into Europe and send groomed swell down the coast.
Water Temp: Low 60s-Upper 50s on the coldest days
Consistency: Most consistent December-March.
Crowds: While Euro's have been coming here for years and the local surf scene is growing, crowds aren't nearly as bad as Hawaii or California.
Local Scene: Ancient and beautiful. Make sure to sample the delicious tangine dishes, shop at the souks (outdoor markets), and make a run the walled city of Marrakech.
Watch Out For: Sea urchins, petty theft, boulders lining the shore, and goats in trees (true story).

I'm elated to share with you a major win for the oceans! After eight months of pressuring Costco to improve their seafood policies—I'm overjoyed to tell you that the wholesale giant announced a new policy aimed at helping to save the oceans, rather than plunder them.Thanks to all of YOU who helped make this major win possible. Throughout the campaign, I was continually inspired by how many people cared about protecting the oceans. Over 100,000 people took action online—sending messages to Costco's CEO demanding real progress. Thousands of concerned citizens downloaded our activist toolkit and participated in surveying Costco stores across the country. And, that's not all—hundreds of phone calls were placed to stores, the Greenpeace airship flew over their headquarters and shoppers handed out informational flyers in front of stores on busy days.This victory proves that by working together, we can make a difference to protect the environment. I've been working very closely with Costco on the specifics of their new seafood policy and am very pleased with the direction that they're taking. Costco has agreed to remove over a dozen red list items, pursue better practices in aquaculture and assume more of a leadership role in the ongoing global effort to develop a more sustainable tuna industry.If you want to know all the specifics (I know I like hearing about all the details), Costco has publicly announced that they're going to:
-- Eliminate 12 red list species, which will not return unless the company can find an MSC-certified option. This is certainly not perfect—we'd like to see these unsustainable options off the shelves until the populations recover—but it's a major step forward. The species are: - Atlantic cod - Atlantic halibut - Chilean sea bass - Greenland halibut - Grouper - Monkfish - Orange roughy - Redfish - Shark - Skates and rays - Swordfish - Bluefin tuna-- Pledge to play more of a leadership role within aquaculture;-- Partner with World Wildlife Fund to examine their remaining wild-caught species and determine how to best transition to the most sustainable alternative; and-- Acknowledge the role that the canned tuna industry plays within the global sustainable seafood movement and is in the process of shifting to more sustainable tuna sources in all sectors (fresh, frozen, and canned).
It's fantastic that Costco's leadership has taken some incredibly important steps forward. Still, this is just the beginning—the company has a long way to go, and just as we monitored the continued progress with the victory around Trader Joe's, we'll also be keeping an eye on Costco to make sure that they follow through on these policies and continue improving their stewardship towards the oceans. While Costco proves they want to be a leader in ocean conservation, many other supermarkets continue to put the oceans in harms way due to their seafood policies. This April, Greenpeace will be releasing our fifth Supermarket Scorecard report. It'll be eye opening to see how the competition stacks up. Take action! Stand up for the oceans and ocean wildlife.
Michelle Frey
Congratulations. This is a huge victory for the oceans.

Epic Failure!
"Pledge to play more of a leadership role within aquaculture"
Aquaculture is responsible for the great pillaging of the oceans forage fish (squid, anchovies, sardines, krill, herring, etc) which is linked to decreasing numbers of fish populations and sea birds. Additionally, aquaculture creates biological conditions (akin to those of industrial beef production) whereby the animals are prone to disease and therefore spread those diseases to other species in the natural ecosystem that the farms exist.
Big Business aquaculture is pushing these movements and marketing them as eco-responsible practices. This could not be further from the truth. Open you eyes and do some research!

Does this encompass the company internationally? Or does the UK, Korea, Japan, Australia and Canada get to pickup the slack? I do not think that we should mistake this for a benevolent act, just the bare minimum to get back to business without undue scrutiny.

I don't understand if I'm supposed to start shopping at Costco again or not. Your oh-no-costco website is still up and running, it provides no way to ask this question, and I used to like Costco but you told me to stop shopping there.
But you don't include any "It is safe to buy at Costco" message anywhere and your anti-Costco site is still online.
So what am I supposed to do? I mean, Costco is a lot better than shopping at Walmart, right? But you didn't tell me not to shop there. I'm confused.

Take The Truth for example. I've read it loads of times, but it was only on my recent rereading that I spotted an awful pun. It's the bit where William and Vimes have a row and Sam waving his truncheon around and William is yeilding his notebook.
I can't believe I neverf saw that before.'Now you put your notebook down, lad.' he suggested in a quiet voice. 'That way, it's just me and you. No . . . clash of symbols.'
Welcome to the site, Happy-Fish - I'm glad you took the plunge.

A Great Five Years...
The NXT was released, the floodgates were opened... and the rest is history, recorded in bits and pieces, over a small number of NXT-related blogs and websites. And, thankfully, I've been allowed to be a part of it all.
I've met fellow NXT fans, tutored teachers and students, written a few books and collaborated on many more, attended robot competitions galore... the list goes on. So many opportunities have opened, all from a simple website that's only purpose (initially) was to keep me organized. I cannot count the number of friendships that have developed over the years from a simple website devoted to a toy.
Since starting this blog, a couple of things have happened - I have two young sons now - a four year old who is just starting to discover LEGO bricks and a baby who looks at them as if they're candy right now, but we all know that will change. I moved from part-time writing (evenings and weekends) to full-time writing, my dream job. Either of these could keep me constantly busy, but combined they're keeping me EXTREMELY busy. I love being a dad... and I love being a writer. So it's been quite the struggle trying to find time for my other hobbies, especially LEGO robotics. LEGO robotics has become a large part of my life - and that's not a complaint. But I've got other interests and other goals that I want to tackle. A few new opportunities have dropped on my desk that I just don't want to let slip away. The first is that I've been invited to blog for geekdad.com, one of my own favorite blogs. The other is some special projects for Makezine.com (Make Magazine's blog) and its sister-site, Makershed.com. Both of these opportunities, plus 5 to 6 books per year, my Hands-On blog series, plus many more proposals for books that will never see the light of day... and I hope you can understand why it's time for a change.
Goodbyes are difficult, but let's not make this a goodbye. Damien Kee will be stepping into the role of Editor-in-Chief, and I've told him that I would love to hang out in the background and post the occasional item. I'm not walking away from LEGO Mindstorms... I really don't think I could that even if I wanted to... and with two boys growing up in a house full of NXT parts, it's inevitable that Mindstorms isn't going away in my house. But it is time for a change.
I want to thank all of thenxtstep.com readers for their attention and their participation. It's been a great ride. But the trip isn't over. You've got Damien and the rest of the blogger crew who will continue to keep you up-to-date with the latest in NXT news. But remember that the blog needs you! It needs readers who will share new projects, new websites, new robot designs, and more. So keep the tips coming!
I also want to thank my fellow nxtstep bloggers. It has truly been a privilege to work with all of you. I've long since given up trying to figure out who has been here the longest (hey, new blog post idea!) but it really doesn't matter to me... I've got some friends for life with this group and I really don't think they've seen or heard the last of me. (And yes, rumors are true - there IS another LEGO book due out later this year. It's not set in the jungles of Guatemala but somewhere a bit more distant.)
A big thanks to LEGO and LEGO Education, as well. And for three folks in particular - Soren, Steven, and Kristie - I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough for the doors that have opened for me because of your support, assistance, and friendship.
Readers know me as the guy who can write and write and write... so, as I try not to turn this into a short novel, I'll sign off by telling everyone that I'll still be around if you know where to look.

Speaking as one of the people who gravitated into the blogosphere only because of an invite here - Jim, thank you for starting something significantly bigger than you may have imagined, yet you grew and supported it at every turn and bump. I'd say you will be missed... and you will... but I doubt our paths have crossed for the last time.
From those of us you've gathered together here (readers, bloggers, and others), a huge, heart-felt thank you. And from those of us still here... we'll try to continue to grow and develop this blog in the ways you've taught us.
Five years? Seriously? Seems like about five months...

Thank you Jim, I'm deeply honoured to be taking over something that you have personally built up from scratch into what is arguably the 'go-to' resource abut NXT robotics.
I know you'll always be a part of the blog, and can't wait to see posts from you in the future.

Thanks Jim! Without you and the blog I probably wouldn't have been able to write any kind of Mindstorms book.
So thanks, and I'll look out for the posts on your other blogs.

I've been hanging around since early 2007. The reason I keep coming back to this blog (and trust me when I say I've read every single post since I first found out about TheNXTStep) is the quality and quantity of the content. It's been great to have something like this that documents almost everything that goes on in the Mindstorms community.
We will miss you, but will endure just like NXTasy did. So long and good luck!

And I know you'll enjoy whatever you do... and we'll see you around (and likely follow your other projects too!).

Sad to see you go. Thank you for **everything**!.
It's a shame to see the once vivid community crumble away slowly... yet surely.

It was at the PRI show a couple of years back. As soon as you entered the main hall, there it was: hot lava on wheels. The bright orange 'Cuda was without a doubt the most vicious and charismatic creation on the floor and detailed quite unlike anything anyone had previously seen. It came from Alabama out of Alan Johnson's Hot Rod Shop (JHRS) in Gadsden. Despite its bright livery, the car was still curiously understated against its rough-hewn, natural-surface wheels. It glowed; it growled in harmony with the remarks of passersby.
Defiant as a fine piece of art, it challenged onlookers to find one bit of it that hadn't been modified, molded, or made for its mission. Johnson is probably better known for his dramatic yet understated street rods, but a car is a car regardless and JHRS attends to them all with imagination, candor, and craftsmanship.
Nathan Powell has been a frequent contributor to the Johnson coffers, having enjoyed several JHRS street rod creations over a dozen years or so. He also owns several late-model sports and high-performance cars, so there isn't a single feature of this Camaro that's been overlooked. He wanted a '69 Camaro that would be a comfortable, accommodating driver-one that could also perform well on the track and be a looker without sacrificing a single ounce of function. Get in, jack the throttle once, twist the starter, and rocket down the road like nobody's business, air conditioner blowing chilly, Nathan's adrenalin climbing hot on the high side.
Grunt was the key, Nathan figured, so Keith Dorton's Automotive Specialists Racing Engines in Concord, North Carolina, whipped him up a version of the popular four-bolt main bearing 540 big-block, blueprinted, balanced, and filled with parts of the highest quality.
The rotating assembly includes a Callies crankshaft, forged connecting rods, and Wiseco 10.5:1 pistons that cohabit nicely with pump gas octane. The oiling system is directly affected by the Stef's aluminum road race oil pan and corresponding pump. Pan baffling keeps the lube from climbing away from the areas it was meant to protect during on-track antics. To further draw heat from the assembly, ASRE included an Earl's oil cooler mounted on the core support on the left side of the copper/brass Walker radiator. A Stewart water pump keeps coolant on the run.
A COMP cam (we'd say hydraulic roller) of unspecified characteristics has been partnered with all the rest of COMP's valvetrain technology. The top of the motor wears mighty Dart aluminum cylinder heads straddled by a Victor intake manifold and a Holley as big as a hippopotamus. The cowl-sourced cold air is the job of that spectacularly smooth dual-tract intake system that was hand-formed from aluminum sheet. A K&N filter catches airborne junk before it enters the engine. A Vintage Air Front Runner accessory drive connects the alternator, air conditioner compressor, and power steering pump. Fuel is sourced from a safety cell resting on a trunk floor that was modified for the installation. Spark jumps salty from an ignition system operating with ever-popular MSD components. JHRS machined the decidedly unusual rocker covers from billet stock.
Johnson and his crew set the engine back as far as possible without having to recess the firewall. In fact, JHRS did create a new firewall showing the same rib detail as the rocker covers. They also raised the engine block 11/2 inches, thus precluding off-the-shelf headers. Johnson's Venny Garcia got to it with 2 1/8-inch diameter primary pipes that were ceramic-coated black by Performance Coatings in Jonesboro, Georgia.

Portrait of James McNeill Whistler
With this work, Boldini faced the challenge of painting one of his most esteemed peers and friends, the American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834–1903). For this homage, Boldini combines the dark palette of Whistler's own paintings from the early 1870s onward with an animated brushwork that conveys the sitter's vibrant personality. Positioned slightly off-center leaning on the back of his chair, Whistler sits in evening clothes adorned with the red decoration of the Legion of Honor (established by Napoleon to recognize achievement in various fields), with his long legs and cane extending beyond the picture's edge. While holding his top hat in a cursorily painted left hand, Whistler lifts his monocle to his right eye with a delicate flourish—a gesture that underscores the keen eye of an artist momentarily turned subject.
