MO Ozarks discomfort
I now fully realize the Hammock Advantage. I normally tent-camp, but I tried a tarp for this 3-day trip in the Missouri Ozarks. I didn't bring my hammock due to consideration for my fellow backpacker, since he doesn't have a shelter and my tarp fits two. I learned 2 things: 1. Tarp camping is every bit as good as tent camping, not to mention lighter. 2. Tarp camping is 100x less comfortable than hammocking. The ground is hard and unforgiving; I wished for my hammock the whole trip. When I did sleep, I woke up with aches and pains. And I'm only 22!
Next time I think I'll trade kindness for comfort. Thanks to all you people on HF who have shown me the way. |

Everybody has the one buddy! I did the same...I realized if they want to go they can carry my tent or a borrowed one...I'm rockin' the hammock!!
Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself! |

Amen. I'm done with the ground. Took my daughter out last fall and I used a tent because she wanted the hammock. I just can't sleep like that now.

I'm doing the Eagle Rock Loop in Arkansas at the end of the month with a friend that still sleeps on the ground. I don't like him enough to leave my hammock at home... friends are friends, but come on...

Out of curiosity what Mo. Ozark trail did ya hike? Another advantage around these 'parts' with hammocks is you don't have to try to find a flat place to pitch..which can be hard to do.

LOL ! Took my daughter out on her first backpacking trip last year. Ain't no way Dad is giving up the BB ! So, I caved. Bought her a HH Exped and she loves it ! . . . but as far as friends go out on the trail, they can either buy their own or admire me from the distance! I'm hanging, period!

AMP to develop electric SUV prototype for OEM
AMP Electric Vehicles has announced that it's developing a mainstream SUV prototype for an automaker, but it didn't say which one. The obvious guess is GM since the Cincinnati-based start-up has developed conversion processes for a handful of GM vehicles, including the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox, the 2007-2009 Saturn Solstice, and Pontiac Sky. However, a GM spokesperson indicated that the company does not have any agreement with AMP.
AMP purchases cars from dealerships for customers (or customers can bring their own) and converts the vehicle to operate with an electric drivetrain. Using a custom lithium ion battery pack and … Read more

What is PeekScore?: PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone's score, the "more important" they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to; your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news.
It's been a while since we've done a list of (female) fashion/swimsuit/lingerie models here at the PeekScore blog, so we figure we're due. We'll spare you the diatribes and justifications we've provided for such lists in the past, and simply get right down to it.
Here are ten of the world's top, current, working models, ranked not by how in demand they are, and surely not by how beautiful they are, but by the sizes of their digital footprints (as explained above, as well as behind this link).
As fashion has long been one of the more progressive industries, in terms of embracing the digital realm, it's not entirely shocking that all of these women find themselves with a fairly large score. But Kate and Heidi, both still household names many years into their careers, have edged out the competition. More stunning, and less predictable perhaps, would be the third place finish and accompanying score of Ms Lima.
Do you have any favorite models who were left off? Do any of these results surprise you? Let us know in the comments.
Rank | Picture | Name | Bio | PeekScore |
1 |
Kate Moss | Known for personifying the much decried and fretted over waif/"heroin chic" look which was popular in the 90s | 10.00 / 10.00 |
2 |
Heidi Klum | World-famous swimsuit and lingerie model, and co-host of Project Runway | 10.00 / 10.00 |
3 |
Adriana Lima | Long-standing Victoria's Secret model, and spokesmodel for Maybeline | 9.98 / 10.00 |
4 |
Gisele Bündchen | Absurdly highly-paid model, who Forbes once said might become the first billionaire supermodel | 9.82 / 10.00 |
5 |
Alessandra Ambrósio | Model for Victoria's Secret, Armani Exchange, and Christian Dior. Also, a spokesperson for the Multiple Sclerosis Society | 9.66 / 10.00 |
6 |
Candice Swanepoel | Victoria's Secret model, has appeared on Forbes' "Top Paid models" and FHM's "Sexiest Women" lists | 9.14 / 10.00 |
7 |
Lara Stone | Featured in this year's Pirelli Calendar photographed by Mario Sorrenti | 8.73 / 10.00 |
8 |
Natalia Vodianova | Star of the soon to be released film "Belle du Seigneur," and innvolved in numerous philanthropic endeavors | 8.68 / 10.00 |
9 |
Carolyn Murphy | 38 year old veteran, still demanding top money; even earning a spot on last year's Forbes "Top Paid Models" list | 8.63 / 10.00 |
10 |
Daria Werbowy | Ukraine born spokesmodel for Lancôme | 8.58 / 10.00 |

Maybe this has been already discussed maybe not. Although I didn't found it. What I would love to see added is a code tag so you can easily write some lines of AS code in your file description without needing to use the line breaks and find out that most of your code turns into emotions. Something like code would be great or AS whatever. It would help us alot cause right now I see people just pasting code and they don't even notice there code gets screwed up. That's just what I think that could come in handy.

That would be good. I agree. I posted some code in a recent comment and it ended up all on one line, looking untidy.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Sedums have become a popular garden staple: They are low maintenance, hardy and they come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Also known as stonecrop, the succulent foliage is often topped by starry flowers in late summer and fall. According to the National Gardening Association, the plants are easy care, good for cut flowers, attract butterflies, have unusual foliage and tolerate dry soil. They work best in full sun to light shade.
We created a container garden using sedums and sempervivums this past summer and it was a delight. Sempervivums are hens and chicks, but there are many varieties now so don't think of them as your grandma's plant. Thanks to a strong godson and a sturdy rolling plant tray, I was able to bring my container inside for the winter. A few of the plants looked scraggly, so I pulled them out -- but I've ordered some new ones to fill in the bare spots.
Two new series of sedums from Terra Nova Nurseries come with cute names: the "Candy" series and the "Party Hardy" series. Here's the rundown of these new sedums.
The "Candy" series features 'Chocolate Drop' (chocolaty-brown upright stems with rose-colored flowers) or 'Raspberry Truffle' (upright mounds of large, scalloped, purple brown leaves with rose-pink flowers). Each of these grows 12 to 14 inches tall.
The "Party Hardy" series (grows 10 to 24 inches) has such names as 'Beach Party,' 'Birthday Party' and 'Pool Party.' 'Beach Party' has starry, light rose flowers with yellowish green, red-edged leaves. 'Birthday' has big, dark rose pink flower heads with bronzy-purple foliage, while 'Pool' has, appropriately, aqua blue foliage and light pink flowers.
I like the website www.drought-smart-plants.com, which lists several sedums that pass their stringent tests for low maintenance/benign neglect. While these aren't necessarily new plants, they are tested and successful.
Sedum album'Athoum' is described by Ball Horticultural Co. as having plump, dark green rosettes of leaves that are red-tipped summer through autumn, with light pink to white flowers. This winner spreads and grows low -- 6 to 8 inches tall -- and wide in bright sun.
"Small and well behaved" is how Drought Smart Plants describes Sedum ewersii, with its small rounded leaves in blue-green. The pink flowers attract bees. The website calls Sedum niveum"another tiny gem of a sedum species," with its orange-tinged foliage and white starry blooms in late July. I ordered ewersii from Wild Ginger Farm recently and it's adorable.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Charlie
"This is a simple soup, made in a few minutes."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
1 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can baked beans
1 (16 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 dash hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon ketchup
salt and pepper to taste
this is one of the quickest easiest and cheapest recipe i have tried thuogh i did add a cup of celery and some garlic.
Okay for a base but will need extras added. I added Rotel tomatoes and garlic. Very quick to make.
5 Ratings
This was great in a casual dressed up tomato soup way. I served it with homemade cornbread and it was gobbled down. It probably would make a good base, but it doesn't NEED anything else, unless you think cream of tomato soup NEEDS something else. I didn't give it 5 stars because it's not the kind of recipe that I would use to impress guests.
As mentioned, this is a good base. I added salsa, sauteed onions with mushrooms and garlic. If I make this again, I'll add corn and green peppers too. I used vegetarian tomato-beans (not molasses) I also added a lot of black pepper, but some other spices would work too. I don't know if I'll try this recipe again, I might look for another version with more ingrediants.

In a memo to those in his unit, Windows and Windows Live boss Kevin Johnson said part of the reason Microsoft abandoned its offer to buy Yahoo was that it viewed speed as of the essence if it were to buy the company.
"In a March 10th meeting in Palo Alto, we explained to Yahoo management the importance of reaching an agreement by the end of April in order to have an opportunity to complete the … Read more

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 12, 2012

Health insurance premium increases in five states have been deemed "unreasonable" by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced today.
After independent expert review, HHS determined that Trustmark Life Insurance Company has proposed unreasonable health insurance premium increases in five states—Alabama, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wyoming. The excessive rate hikes would affect nearly 10,000 residents across these five states.
To make these determinations, HHS used its "rate review" authority from the Affordable Care Act (the health care law of 2010) to determine whether premium increases of over 10 percent are reasonable.
"Before the Affordable Care Act, consumers were in the dark about their health insurance premiums because there was no nationwide transparency or accountability," said Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "Now, insurance companies are required to disclose rate increases over 10 percent and justify these increases. It's time for Trustmark to immediately rescind the rates, issue refunds to consumers or publicly explain their refusal to do so."
In these five states, Trustmark has raised rates by 13 percent. For small businesses in Alabama and Arizona, when combined with other rate hikes made over the last 12 months, rates have increased by 27.2 percent and 18.1 percent, respectively. These increases were reviewed by independent experts to determine whether they are reasonable. In this case, HHS determined that the rate increases were unreasonable because the insurer would be spending a low percent of premium dollars on actual medical care and quality improvements, and because the justifications were based on unreasonable assumptions.
In addition to the review of rate increases, many states have the authority to reject unreasonable premium increases. Since the passage of the health care reform law, the number of states with this authority increased from 30 to 37, with several states extending existing "prior authority" to new markets.
Examples of how states have used this authority include:
Today's announcement comes the same week that a report showed that health care spending has grown at remarkably low rates. According to an analysis done each year by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, U.S. health care spending experienced historically low rates of growth in 2009 and 2010. A recent study released by Mercer Consulting also showed a slow-down in the average employee health benefit cost to businesses.
The Affordable Care Act includes several policies, including rate review, to continue this slow growth. By fighting fraud, better coordinating care, preventing disease and illness before they happen and creating a new state-based insurance marketplace, it helps keep health care cost growth low.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin was happy to see his signing class ranked eighth by a national recruiting website.
His enthusiasm was dampened when he realized the Aggies were considered only fifth-best in the Southeastern Conference. Sumlin says he'll need "a couple more" solid recruiting classes to get on even footing with the other SEC teams.
The Aggies signed 23 players on Wednesday, which is the first day high football recruits could officially sign with colleges. They had already signed nine players who enrolled in the spring.
Texas A&M added some new targets for Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel after losing several receivers to graduation. The group is led by Ricky Seals-Jones of Sealy, Texas, the nation's second-rated receiver by Rivals.com.

They say timing is everything. On Feb. 11, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation, making him the first pontiff in 600 years to do so. Hours after the shocking announcement, lighting struck St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
Just a coincidence?

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Orrin HatchMay 1, 2003 Statement of Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Chairman Before the Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate on The Nomination of Leon Holmes to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas This morning the Committee is considering the nomination of Leon Holmes for the Eastern District of Arkansas. I want to say at the outset that I am well aware that there sincerely held concerns here in the Committee about Mr. Holmes's nomination, which my colleagues expressed at our last markup. There are concerns about some of his public stands as a citizen, including some editorials and articles he has written. As I said at the markup, I have to admit that I am also concerned about some of those comments. They trouble me as well. At the same time I am struck by the type of support Mr. Holmes has received from the people of Arkansas. Significantly he has the full support of his Democratic home State Senators, Senators Lincoln and Pryor. After the last markup, Mr. Holmes wrote a detailed letter of explanation to Senator Lincoln. Let me read some passages of that letter: "In the 1980s I wrote letters to the editor and newspaper columns regarding the abortion issue using strident and harsh rhetoric. I am a good bit older now and, I hope, more mature than I was at that time." "As the years passed," he writes, "I came to realize that one cannot convey a message...using that kind of rhetoric in public discussion. While I cannot speak for those who raise these issues, my impression is that my statements about the abortion issue that they criticize are all more than fifteen years old." He goes on in the next paragraph: "As I stated in response to written questions from Senator Durbin, I am especially troubled by the sentence about rape victims in a 1980 letter to the editor regarding the proposed Human Life Amendment; and, as I said there, regardless of the merits of the issue, the articulation of that sentence reflects an insensitivity for which there is no excuse and for which I apologize. I do not propose to defend that sentence, and I would not expect you or anyone else to do so." In the letter Mr. Holmes mentions what he sees as the growth process he has undergone during the last two decades and closes in this manner: "I certainly was not ready [to assume the responsibilities of a federal judge] in 1980, nor for many years thereafter, and I do not claim that I was. My impression is that my colleagues in the Arkansas bar--those who know me well and who represent clients in federal court--believe that my legal career as a whole manifests a readiness to assume the responsibilities of a district court judge, and I hope that you believe so as well." After receiving this letter Senator Lincoln issued a statement reaffirming her support for Mr. Holmes's nomination. She said, "Together with a substantial number of recommendations from respected Arkansas citizens, mostly in the legal community, Mr. Holmes's answers convince me that he can set his personal views and religious beliefs aside both as a lawyer and a judge, if he is confirmed." She goes on to say: "In deciding to maintain my support for Leon Holmes as a Federal District Judge in Arkansas, I cannot ignore the many letters of support generated by members of the legal community in Arkansas, many of whom also share different views than Mr. Holmes. These letters describe him as 'fair,' 'compassionate,' 'even-handed,' and 'disciplined'. His colleagues hold him in high esteem. Mr. Holmes demonstrates in his letter to me that even on emotional issues like a woman's right to choose, he can respect the opposite view." I would urge all of my colleagues to read Senator Lincoln's statement, if they have not already done so. Senator Pryor, who met with Mr. Holmes following the hearing, has also reiterated his support. The outpouring of support from the Arkansas legal community, those who know Mr. Holmes best, has been remarkable. Some of the most ardent letters of support for his nomination have been from very prominent pro-choice citizens and lawyers. Stephen Engstrom, for example, writes: "Leon Holmes and I differ on political and personal issues such as pro-choice/anti-abortion. I am a past board member of our local Planned Parenthood chapter and have been a trial lawyer in Arkansas for over twenty-five years. Regardless of our personal differences on some issue, I am confident that Leon Holmes will do his duty as the law and facts of any given case require." Kent Rubens, another Arkansas attorney writes: "I cannot think of anyone who is better qualified legally or ethically to so serve....I am sure that there will be those who seek to block his confirmation because of her personal views. That would be a mistake. I was privileged to represent [the Arkansas] litigant who struck down the abortion statutes here in Arkansas after Roe and Doe were decided....There is no one who will argue that my views are anything other than pro choice." Mr. Rubens continues: "I am as confident as Brett Maverick holding five aces that the only people who will be disappointed by his confirmation will be those folks who believe that Leon Holmes could raise his right hand, take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, and then set his views over the Constitution and the decisions of the Supreme Court construing it. Leon Holmes will not set himself up as superior to the Constitution, and I have every belief that his confirmation will not embarrass any member of your committee. As someone who has represented the pro choice view and holds the pro choice view, I ask that you urge [Committee Members] to support his confirmation." Robin Carroll, Legal Counsel to the Arkansas Democratic Party, writes: "I have tried several cases with Mr. Holmes. Without hesitation I can tell you Mr. Holmes is a brilliant and ethical lawyer. There is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Holmes would be a fair and impartial judge and do honor to the bench." Ms. Carroll says: "It would be a shame to place Mr. Holmes in a box for some of his prior causes and a further shame if his nomination is not approved. As someone who may very well practice in his court, I have no reservations about Mr. Holmes's ability to be fair and impartial on any issue." The Committee received another letter, dated April 17, from Oneal Sutter, who writes, "I graduated from law school in 1995 and hung out my shingle as a sole practitioner. Since that time, I have built a civil rights law firm. My firm has filed more civil rights lawsuits in the Eastern District of Arkansas than any other lawyer within the last eight years. My area of emphasis is civil rights and discrimination in employment. . . . I assure you that, in my eight years of practice, I have learned to identify ideologues who are also lawyers. Such lawyers routinely put their personal and philosophical interests ahead of what I consider to be in their clients' best interests. Mr. Holmes never did this. . . . I recommend Leon Holems to the federal bench, with a full understanding of his politics. Personally, I do not agree with some of his political views. Yet, my personal criteria for a good judge do not include a requirement that the person agree with me on every issue. I only hope that the judge remembers what practicing law is like from day to day, while at the same time, avoiding injecting her personal and philosophical beliefs into litigation. I am confident that Mr. Holmes will exceed my expectations in these two areas. I therefore heartily recommend him to the federal bench." I will submit copies of all of these letters of support, and the others we have received, for the record. I wanted to take a few minutes to read portions of them because the support for Leon Holmes's nomination in Arkansas is simply overwhelming. Even the Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, supports Mr. Holmes's nomination. He writes, "On the day that I was to be sworn in as Governor, we had a constitutional crisis because the outgoing governor, who had previously announced his resignation, at the last minute decided that he would not resign. I immediately asked my staff to call the best and most respected Constitutional lawyer in the state. Everyone agreed that person was Leon Holmes. Mr. Holmes left his office immediately, came to the capitol, and assisted in counseling us through the constitutional crisis. I have called on him several other times when the state was faced with monumental legal questions. His opinion is the gold standard among attorneys. I have personally known Leon Holmes for almost 20 years. I know that he will be an outstanding judge. He will bring honor to the judiciary, to the State of Arkansas, and to all who supported his nomination and confirmation." I also believe it's noteworthy that Susan Holmes, the nominee's wife, has written to the Committee. The article she co-wrote with her husband, entitled Gender Neutral Language, was the focus of much criticism at the last markup. Susan Holmes writes: "Some have suggested that in this article we advocated that women should be subservient to their husbands. Nothing could be further from the truth. I felt compelled to write because these allegations, by inference, also call my character into question." Mrs. Holmes continues, "I assure you I have never considered myself subservient to anyone. . . . The article is a product of my Bible study over the many years of my marriage. It should be noted that immediately preceding the verses in Ephesians 5 where wives are instructed to be submissive to their husbands, all Christians, male and female, are told to 'be submissive to one another.' The article was published in a Catholic newspaper where the readership should be familiar with this passage. The article was not intended as a how-to manual for wives but to point out the symbolic use of the language used in Scripture and prompt a discussion on the effects on theology of trying to gender-neutralize the language used in church. The article also explicitly points out that everyone, male and female, comes to God in an equal relationship. It has no application to anyone who is not attempting to follow the Catholic/Christian faith." I will put the full text of Mrs. Holmes's article in the record. I must say that since our last markup, the reaction from the Catholic community has been strong. The President of the Catholic League, William Donohue, issued a statement observing, "Holmes's critics are doing what the Constitution expressly prohibits - they are applying a religious test to his nomination. That they are doing it in a back-door manner makes it all the more contemptible." An editorial that appeared on April 9 in the Arkansas Catholic stated, "We hope that the senators on the committee and the full Senate will look at Leon Holmes's skills as an attorney and not what he has written in relationship to his strong Catholic faith." Now, I do not want to suggest that any of my colleagues here on the Committee called into question Mr. Holmes's religious faith. I do not for one second believe that there is a religious bias at work here. What I suspect is that my colleagues did not have all the facts about Mr. Holmes's writings relating to his religious beliefs, which is why I took the time to share what has been written about his article since the last markup. Given the concerns that Mr. Holmes's nomination has generated, I have decided that the most prudent way to proceed on his nomination is to move directly to a vote without recommendation. # # # |
