3 Legged Thing X4 ERIC Evolution 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod System with AirHed 1 Ballhead
3 Legged Thing doesn't make tripods. They make tripod systems.
The X4 Eric is a versatile and capable travel tripod with a unique double section ten-core carbon fiber center column that provides functionality beyond the scope of ordinary travel tripods:
1: It enables extension of the tripod to the maximum height of 81" (2.06m) which is perfect for using with off camera flash, as the added height gives the user greater versatility.
2: When the extended column is use with the legs retracted in position 2 (55 degrees), Eric operates in "tri-mono mode". Tri-mono mode enables photographers to stabilize their equipment without having to hold it, which enables them to go to a second camera without having to put the main set-up down on the floor.
3: When used with the column inverted, and the legs in position 2, you can lower your camera to the floor for macro photography, while retaining a large working area underneath the legs. The mounting point at each end of the center column further allows you to add a laptop platform or iPad bracket for tethered shooting.
The center column is completely removable for mounting the AirHed or your camera directly to the main tripod legs for extra stability. This mounting enables you to use Eric at just 5.3" (135mm), giving Eric a huge dynamic range.
The design of Eric is such that the tripod, when folded, will easily fit into most hand luggage. The D rings on the bag allow for the bag to be connected to another bag or trolley for easy transportation.
- X4 ERIC Evolution 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod System
- AirHed 1 - Black or Blue
- AH1 Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plate
- Built in detachable Monopod
- Zip-off Leg Muff
- Rapid Reversible/Removable Center Column
- Spring Ballast Hook
- 100mm Magnesium Alloy Extension Tube (26mm diameter)
- 3LT Tripod Bag with D rings and tool/memory card/film Pocket

What's new on the Evolution 2 Tripods?3 Legged Thing is constantly improving their tripod line to bring you a safer, lighter, stronger and more functional tripod system. The Evolution 2 upgrades include:
- Purer 8 core Stealth Carbon Fiber legs and unique 10 core Center
Columns - Smoother operation, more lateral and torsional strength.
- Re-engineered leg mechanisms, for greater stability, smoother and easier use.
- New Evo 2 Friction Locks with safety double break-point and easy-grip rubber.

A group of young samurai, sorely tested by their adventures to date, are given a mysterious and troubling duty by the Empress, and must deal with the ramifications of their actions.
The Hinge of Destiny
By Nancy Sauer
Edited by Fred Wan
Toshi Ranbo, Late in the Month of the Dragon
The house was several times larger than the one he had grown up in and vastly more elegant. It was odd then, Yoritomo Saburo mused to himself, that he felt like he was coming home. Or perhaps not so odd. He had spent far too many months in Ryoko Owari killing monsters and placating suspicious Scorpion magistrates, all the while helping to hide a powerful and malign scroll from the Scorpion to whom it presumably belonged and from the forces of Kali-Ma, who apparently wanted it. Perhaps it wasn't so odd that the house in Toshi Ranbo seemed comfortable and homelike.
As he walked the path that led from the gate Saburo's companions trailed behind him. Utaku Kohana, Kakita Hideo and Akodo Saburo seemed pleased at seeing the house again. Mirumoto Ichizo and Hiruma Akio were glancing about, taking the house and its garden in. Isawa Kyoko was looking straight ahead, trying to ignore the small chest that Akio carried. Bayushi Kurumi walked beside Kyoko, ostensibly looking after the shugenja but in reality trying to make everyone forget that now they were back in Toshi Ranbo they didn't need her anymore. Furumaro was gazing ahead with the same expression of detached interest that he usually wore.
They were in the entryway and taking off their sandals when Ichizo cocked his head as if listening to something. "There is someone here." Akio, Kohana and Shunori promptly drew their swords.
"The Empress knew we were returning," Hideo said quietly. "Perhaps a servant was dispatched to prepare the house for us."
"Or maybe someone else has been making preparations," Saburo said, equally soft.
"It is Doji Ayano," Furumaro said. Everyone looked at him.
"There is no reason for Ayano to be here," Hideo said.
Furumaro laughed. "Do you think it is that easy? Do you think you can bring her into the story and then dismiss her before she encounters danger?"
Hideo blanched for a moment, then he spun on his heel and walked swiftly down the hall. The others trailed in his wake. They found Ayano in the study, looking over a picture scroll, and as the group entered the room she rose and bowed. "Please excuse my intrusion," she said. "The Voice of the Empress sent me with a message for you all, and he insisted that it be given to you the moment you returned."
"It is the Empress's house," Shunori said. "If you are here on her business there is no need to apologize."
"Shunori is right," Saburo said. "But what was Satsu-sama's message?"
"He instructed me to tell you that as soon as you cleanse yourselves of travel dust you are to present yourselves in the Imperial Palace, as the Empress desires to meet with you."
"But why are you here?" Hideo asked. "The Voice has no shortage of paper, or messengers."
"It is not my place to question the Voice of the Empress," Ayano said calmly. "But I assume he thought it would be more efficient for me to deliver the message, for I am to present myself along with you."
There was silence for a moment while everyone considered this. Furumaro spoke first. "Clearly you must all hurry, so you may find out what the Empress means by this. I will go take a nap and stay out of the way of your preparations." He started down the hallway to the room they had given him.
"Brother Furumaro," Kohana objected, "you must come with us–she wants us all. Besides, this is your chance to see the Empress!"
"I would prefer not to see her after I have been stripped down to my loincloth," Furumaro said. "And after she was attacked by assassins disguised as monks, I am sure that the Imperial Guards are taking no chances." He turned his back and continued his way.
"That is ridiculous," Saburo said.
"Actually, the Guards might take his loincloth, too," Kurumi said. Saburo and the others looked at her, and she shrugged slightly. "The Emerald Champion was so angry after the attack he canceled the Empress's Winter Court. Do you think any of the palace guards want him angry at them?"
"Kurumi-san," Saburo said after a moment, "can you come up with an explanation for Furumaro's absence that sounds respectful?" She nodded, surprised and pleased at having been asked. "All right. The rest of us will get ready as quickly as possible–we shouldn't make things worse by making the Empress wait."
* * * * *
A court functionary showed them to a private audience room, announced them, and then departed. The Imperial Advisor, the ronin Susumu, was waiting there and he accepted their bows. "The Empress and her Voice will be here shortly," he said, and then lapsed into silence.
Kurumi studied him for a moment from under the fringe of her hair and then she glanced to her left, catching Ayano's eye. Ayano slowly closed her eye, held it closed for a few breaths, then reopened it to stare back at the Scorpion. Kurumi began to worry. Ayano had seen what she had seen: the Advisor did not know why they had been summoned, and was disturbed by this.
Before her thoughts could run too far there was the sound of a door sliding open in the back of the room. The Empress entered, accompanied by Togashi Satsu and surrounded by a small cloud of guards. She took her seat behind the screen as Satsu went to stand before it. He gave a cool, shallow bow in response to Susumu's much deeper one, and then nodded graciously to the young samurai before him. "The Empress bids you to rise," he said. "She also wonders why not all have responded to her summons."
"Brother Furumaro is responding to her summons by honoring it from afar," Kurumi said. She had decided to handle the problem by telling something that approximated the truth, and so she continued on in her explanation, laying stress on the monk's concern for the Empress's continued well being. When she was done Satsu tilted his head for a moment before speaking. "The Empress is not offended by Brother Furumaro's intentions," he said. "However, the next time she summons him, he will show himself." "It will be as you say," Kurumi murmured in reply.
Next Satsu walked over to where Akio knelt. "Akio-san," he said, "this word has already gone out to the lords of the Crab, but the Empress wishes to say it to you as well. Your brother was a brave samurai who brought glory to his clan and family. His name will be remembered with honor while her dynasty endures."
"Thank you, my Empress," Akio said. Tears began to form at the corners of her eyes, but she did not raise a hand to acknowledge them. Her companions politely looked away to give her privacy.
Satsu next went back to stand before Kurumi. "Bayushi Eisaku perished in the same battle as Hiruma Aki," he said. "The Empress wishes you to know that your friend also died a hero."
Kurumi stared at him for a moment, looking for all the world as if he had kicked her in the stomach. "I had wondered if I would ever know," she said unsteadily. "Thank you, Divine One."
"You knew Eisaku?" Hideo asked. He didn't quite hide the suspicion in his voice. "That is quite a coincidence."
"The Empire is battling for its life. There are no coincidences here," Satsu said. "Did you find what you sought in the Scorpion lands?"
"We think so," Saburo said. "We left it at the house–we did not want to bring it into the Empress's presence without her permission."
Susumu raised an eyebrow. "You fear this thing? And yet you seek to use it as a weapon?"
"I am not sure how we are supposed to use it," Saburo said. He gestured. "Kyoko-san could tell you more about it."
The priestess bowed deeply and then began to speak. She outlined how they had happened to find the scroll, what they had done with the surviving guardsman, and their reasons for keeping it. She then stopped for a moment and seemed to gather her strength for what came next. "Chosen of the Empress, Divine One, I have been trained in the ordinary knowledge of a Phoenix shugenja. An Inquisitor could, I am sure, tell you much more than I. Yet I have been taught the history of my clan and know well the role the Phoenix played in the destiny of the Day of Thunder. The scroll we have found seems, in all respects, like one of those called the Black Scrolls. The power it contains is vast, the spirits it attracts are wholly evil, and its purpose is unknown to me."
"A Black Scroll?" Susumu said. He appeared to be on the verge of laughter. "You propose to use a Black Scroll to defend the Empire?"
"Your pardon, Chosen," Ayano said, "but Saburo-san has already stated he does not know what its use is."
Susumu gave her a sharp look and was about to speak when Satsu held up a hand. "The Empress approves of your actions," he said. "Further, she bids you to continue your guardianship for a time. Your next journey will put this scroll far beyond the grasp of Kali-Ma's servants."
"We are the Empress's to command," Kurumi said. "What does she wish us to do?"
"From the beginning of his appointment the Shogun has sought after the man named Daigotsu and his self-styled Spider Clan. The Empress has received word from Moto Jin-Sahn that Unicorn samurai under his command have located his abode in a region known as the Fingers of Bone." Susumu went very still at this announcement.
"The Empress wishes us to apprehend Daigotsu," Shunori said. He was trying, with limited success, to look properly stoic. His companions all looked alarmed.
"The Empress wishes you to deliver a letter to him," Satsu said.
"What?" Shunori, Akiko, and Susumu said in chorus. The Imperial Advisor's expression was shocked; the Lion and the Crab were horrified. "We are the Empress's to command," Ayano said hurriedly. Kurumi had produced a fan and was using it to shield her face from the Imperials while she shot disapproving looks at Akio and Shunori.
"It is an action without precedent," Satsu said. His voice had shifted slightly in tone, and all who heard him understood that he now spoke for himself, and not the Empress. "But the Daughter of Heaven has decided on this course, and you are appointed to carry it out. You are to leave tomorrow: All the arrangements have been made. You are to speak of this to no one save Brother Furumaro, for he is to go with you."
* * * * *
The Northern Edge of Rokugan, Month of the Serpent
Shunori finished his prayers and waited, listening. Every evening since they had left Toshi Ranbo he had prayed to his ancestors, to Akodo-kami, to Matsu Tsuko, asking for guidance. And every evening he was answered with silence. Slowly he let his eyes rove around the mountains that surrounded him. He and his comrades had journeyed for days through the Great Wall of the North, and tomorrow they would leave the lands of the Empire entirely. Shunori fixed his intention in his heart and steadied his will. Tonight was the last night his ancestors would be able to keep watch over him. Tonight he must act.
When he returned to camp no one made a comment: they had become accustomed to his nightly devotions. Saburo and Kohana were off standing their watch shifts. Ayano and Kurumi were huddled close to the fire, still trying to work out how one properly addressed someone of Daigotsu's peculiar non-status. Ichizo and Kyoko were discussing the Tao while Furumaro looked on. Hideo was idly flirting with Akio while she folded origami animals. "I have a question," Shunori said, causing everyone to look up at him. "Why are we doing this?"
There was silence and confused looks, and then Ayano said, "Because the Empress has commanded it?"
"Why are we obeying?" Shunori said.
"Because she is the Empress," Ichizo said, "and to suggest we do otherwise is treason." He reached for his swords, but Kyoko stopped him with a light touch to his hand and a soft word.
"She is treating with Daigotsu. Daigotsu! He is a known tsukai. He destroyed Otosan Uchi. He murdered two Emperors!" Shunori looked around, daring someone to contradict him.
"I don't think anyone here regards him as a good samurai," Hideo said. Furumaro laughed. "I doubt the Empress has mistaken him for such either."
"So she is going to deal with evil men? Is this proper?"
"The Daughter of Heaven decides what is proper," Ichizo said. "It is our part to follow her decrees."
"Indeed?" Shunori said. "Were the Thunders wrong, then, when they went against the last Hantei?"
Kyoko shook her head. "How can you have been in her presence and ask such a question? I know you cannot hear the kami sing, but you must have felt something."
"I do not listen to feelings," Shunori said, and Kyoko twitched slightly. "I watch a samurai's actions and draw my conclusions. What but Jigoku could be behind her command?"
"Jigoku has no hold on Iweko," Furumaro said. "The very idea is ridiculous."
"And how would you know? You haven't even seen her!"
"On a clear day even a blind man can point to the sun," Furumaro said. "However convoluted the Empress's logic may be, it is hers and hers alone." Kyoko nodded her agreement to this.
Shunori turned to Akio. "What of you, Hida-san? What do you think of an Empress who deals with the Shadowlands?"
Akio turned away and stared into the fire. "The armies of the Shadowlands have covered the lands of the Crab and are now lapping about the Scorpion provinces," she said finally. "Meanwhile, Daigotsu is cowering here in the north. I do not think it is correct to say the Empress is dealing with the Shadowlands."
"Is it correct to say she is dealing with a blasphemous criminal?" Shunori said. "One who can corrupt the weak through their desire for power?"
Akio shrugged. "If they are weak, we are better off without them. And for that matter, Daigotsu is the one at risk, for he is the weak one. He has lost all but these Fingers of Bone, and the Kuni have said that even Fu Leng is lost to him now."
"Shunori-san," Ayano said, "I share your doubts. It is difficult to imagine why the Empress desires to send this letter. Is that not so?" She looked to Hideo, who nodded. "But the Empress has sources of information that we do not, from both Heaven and earth. Is it so hard to imagine that she is taking into account things that we do not know? And consider her Voice, Togashi Satsu. Can anyone doubt the honor of that man? Can you doubt that he would have requested kanshi from the Empress if he felt that her actions were misguided?"
For as long has he could remember Shunori had listened to stories about the Second Day of Thunder and the confusion of loyalties that had divided the Lion Clan on that day. Now he understood what those stories had been trying to tell him. He stared at his companions, trying to order the thoughts that swirled through his head.
Kurumi stood up. "Shunori-san, I do not know how much this would comfort a Lion, but the Empress is being both clever and cautious in her actions. Her actions are risky, perhaps, but she is not going headlong into danger."
"What do you mean?" Shunori said.
"Look at who she has sent to deliver this letter," Kurumi said, gesturing around the fire. "You have shown yourselves to be brave and resourceful, so she has some certainty that the letter will be delivered, but you are all young and of little importance to your clans, so that it would be easy to dispose of you if certain things were to go wrong. And have you wondered why she sent Ayano? One courtier alone would be at risk of being suborned by Daigotsu, but with two we can watch each other. Whatever the Empress is doing, she is being wary in doing it."
"Shunori-san." He looked up at the familiar voice to see that Kohana had been drawn back to the fire by their discussion. "You have spoken the doubts I have felt." She waved her hand over the group. "The doubts all of us have felt. But there are no reasons to think that the Empress is acting on Jigoku's behalf, and many to think she is not. She is the Empress. Whatever we may feel, is it not our part to obey?"
Shunori looked away from her, and the crackling of the wood in the fire was the only sound while his companions waited for his answer. "I do not approve," the Lion samurai said finally. "But I will serve."
* * * * *
They were still an hour's travel from the Fingers of Bone, according to the maps the Unicorn had made, when they sighted a group of riders approaching. Their leader, a woman with bizarre and vaguely threatening armor and a demeanor to match, rode in front and pulled her horse to a stop within shouting distance. "Identify yourselves, travelers," she said.
Ayano and Kurumi exchanged quick looks with each other and then they nudged their horses forward. "We are servants of Iweko the First, Empress of Rokugan and Glorious Daughter of Heaven," Kurumi announced. "We are charged with delivering a message to the man known as Daigotsu."
"And what is this message?" the woman asked.
"Your pardon," Ayano said, "but we are to deliver this message to Daigotsu, and not his border guards."
There was a stir among the soldiers facing them, and the woman gave Ayano a cold smile. "Since you are strangers here I will give you this advice: it is not healthy to mistake the Obsidian Champion for a border guard. But my lord is curious and has ordered me to bring you before him."
"Thank you, Champion-san," Ayano said. "Your aid is greatly appreciated."
"I am Daigotsu Hotako," the woman said. "You will be safe under my protection, until such time my lord orders otherwise. Nevertheless–" her eyes swept the group, pausing to assess each of the bushi present– "I would strongly urge you to keep your hands away from your swords. Misunderstandings can be so unfortunate." With that she gave a signal, and her soldiers spread out to surround the group. When all were in position Hotako wheeled her horse about and sent it into a steady pace.
As they drew near the Fingers of Bone the Empress's messengers somewhat forgot the nervousness inspired by their escort as they beheld the reason for the place's name. All around them rose gaunt spires of rock, some so large around that dwellings had been carved in them and yet so tall as to give the impression of slenderness. Scattered in between them were wooden dwellings. A few, the oldest-looking, were well-built and elegant. Most were simply shacks cobbled together from scavenged wood, with walls of fabric or hide.
The procession caught the eyes of the Fingers' residents, and it was not long before the road on both sides were packed with observers. Most looked no different than any Rokugani, but here and there were men or women who clearly bore Taint, and at one point they passed a group with awkward stances and dull expressions. "Undead!" Kyoko hissed, and edged her horse further away from them. Hotako took no notice. The crowd parted silently before her and closed back behind after the group had passed.
Finally they drew up before what appeared to be the largest spire in the group and Hotako dismounted. Her charges did likewise, with Akio taking a moment to pass the scroll-chest to Brother Furumaro. It was a little thing, but she felt better going into danger with her hands unburdened. Servants came forward to attend to the horses, and as they were being led away a heavily muscled man in courtier's robes came out of the spire's entryway. He bowed deeply in Hotako's direction, and she nodded to him. "Come," she said. "My lord awaits your presence."
Hotako led them into a great hall with a dais at one end; upon it were seated Daigotsu and his lady, Shahai. Daigotsu's face was obscured by his mask, while Shahai's features showed nothing but bland interest. Hotako half-knelt in a warrior's bow before them. "My lord," she said, "I have fulfilled your orders."
"As you always do," Daigotsu said. He gestured and Hotako rose up and stood at his side on the dais. "A representative of all the Great Clans and a monk," he continued, sweeping his gaze over the group. "Such an illustrious group of visitors."
Ayano and Kurumi glanced at each other from the corner of their eyes and then they stepped forward together, bowing deeply. "Daigotsu-sama," Ayano said, "I am Doji Ayano and my associate is Bayushi Kurumi. We have been sent by the Empress of Rokugan to deliver a message to you."
"Indeed?" Daigotsu said. "And if I choose not to receive it? She has ordered my death, you may recall."
Neither courtier showed the slightest unease at this. Dealing with a hostile lord was a problem they had been trained to deal with, and though none of their instructors could have foreseen them dealing with this particular lord their lessons held firm. "One would speculate that this makes the matter of the letter even more important," Ayano said. "And in any event, you lose nothing by reading it."
While Ayano spoke, her attention focussed on Daigotsu, Kurumi was studying the members of his court. Hidden behind her own mask she made note of who were the persons of importance and how they stood in relation to each other, then stored all of her observations in her memory. She was not surprised when Daigotsu gestured and the courtier who had signaled Hotako stepped forward. "Usharo," Daigotsu said, "bring me this letter."
Kurumi slipped the scroll case containing the letter out of her obi and presented it to the Usharo. Acting rapidly he opened the case, took out the letter and unrolled it, closing his eyes as he did so. After holding it open for a moment he rolled the letter back up, restored it to the case, and opened his eyes. He then went to kneel before his lord, offering him the case.
Daigotsu accepted it, shook out the letter, and began to read. When he reached the bottom of the scroll he paused, staring. A stir of uneasiness went through the crowd, a stir that only increased as the paused extended itself. Finally Shahai herself looked over a her husband, a quizzical look on her face. Daigotsu ignored them all and returning to the top of the scroll he slowly reread it. When he was done he allowed it to roll back up and dropped it in his lap. "Takasho," he said, his voice quiet.
A man in black and blood-red shugenja robes stepped forward, grinning unpleasantly at Ayano and Kurumi. "Your will, my lord?"
"Bring me the Tao," Daigotsu said.
"I–my lord?" Takasho said. He glanced back at Daigotsu and quickly bowed. "Your will, Daigotsu-sama." He hurried from the room, a grey shambling creature following in his wake.
Absolute silence descended on the hall. Ayano and Kurumi stood with poised calm. Behind them Furumaro appeared to be idly examined the architecture of the room, while the rest of their companions struggled to not reach for weapons or spell scroll for comfort. The members of Daigotsu's court regarded their lord with varying proportions of curiosity and fear, and only Shahai seemed completely lacking in fear.
When Takasho returned he carried a large book with a highly ornamented binding. "This book contains the sacred writings of our Kami," Daigotsu said, indicating it, "and we rescued it from the Crab at great price. I am sending it to your Empress as a token of good faith."
There was a the sound of a sharp intake of breath from Akio. Ayano and Kurumi glanced at each other in surprise. Kurumi rapidly blinked in a certain pattern and Ayano replied in the same fashion. They turned back to Daigotsu and Ayano bowed. "Daigotsu-sama, we are far too insignificant to carry such a momentous gift. Surely you would want to keep it until proper messengers can be found."
"Your Empress found you worthy enough, and you had the wit to avoid the dregs of the Army of Fire hiding out in the mountains. I think you will be adequate."
"Daigotsu-sama, this is surely a trying time for you and all of the Spider. Surely it would be best for you to keep these words yourself for study."
"I have no shortage of copies for reading," Daigotsu said, "and only the original could convey my thoughts to the Empress. Take it."
Ayano bowed again. "As you request, Daigotsu-sama." She accepted the book from Takasho and attempted to hold it in a suitably reverent fashion while keeping it as far away from herself as possible.
"Hotako," Daigotsu said, "my guests will be leaving in the morning. See to it that they are comfortable and safe tonight."
a"Your will, Daigotsu-sama," Hotako said. He merely nodded and arose from his seat, taking the scroll. Shahai rose as well, and the two of them swiftly departed.

The grey light of predawn changed the character of the Fingers of Bone, transforming them from hands reaching for the sky to massive, looming sentinels. It was not an improvement. Saburo and his companions loaded their packs onto their horses, trying to ignore the sensation that the the rock spires themselves were spying on them.
"A Black Scroll and the Tao of Fu Leng," Hideo said. "We are going to be executed by the first Jade Magistrate we come across."
"As long as we are traveling with them, it is the magistrate who will be in danger of execution," Saburo replied. With a twist of his head he indicated a group of about two dozen Spider bushi who were preparing to leave with them. Hotako had informed them that they had business of their own in the south and would be traveling with them through the Wall of the North.
"This is not a matter to joke over," Kohana said. "Killing one of the Empress's magistrates is a serious crime."
"We can add it to our list," Hideo said.
Shunori made a dismissive gesture. "Saburo-san, we cannot possibly take that thing to the Empress."
"I have given my word that we would," Ayano said.
"We are going to take it–somewhere," Saburo said. "We can decide later. And then we will send a message to the Empress and she can tell us where she wants it shelved." He glanced at Shunori and Ayano to make sure both were satisfied and then turned to mount up on his horse. "Now let's go. The faster we travel the faster we lose our escort." He gave the Fingers of Bone once last look, wondering when, if ever, he would see the pleasant house in Toshi Ranbo again.

Southend Relay for Life: Balloons released to mark the launch of the 2014 event (From Echo)
Get involved: send your pictures, video, news and views by texting ECHONEWS to 80360, or email us »
Relay for Life, organised by Cancer Research UK, will be held in Southend this summer
8:00pm Wednesday 29th January 2014 in Local News
THE SKIES above Southend were filled with purple balloons to mark the launch of Southend Relay for Life.
People attached personal messages to a loved one to each of the 2014 balloons.
They were released outside the Victoria shopping centre, in the High Street, on Saturday, while the front of the centre was lit purple, the colour chosen to raise awareness of cancer.
Relay for Life is Cancer Research UK's overnight family celebration event and will be held at Garon Park, Southend, on July 26.
Cancer survivors walk a "survivors' lap", before teams set off on their way.
Claire Marmion, Cancer Research UK's fundraising manager for South Essex, said: "Southend Relay worked incredibly hard to raise an astonishing £30,000 in 2013 and we are hoping to beat that in 2014.
"They can only do that with the support of the public with new teams signing up."
Kieran Meikle, event chairman added: "Cancer Research UK has made enormous progress in the fight against cancer and continues to do so. However, it has only been able to do this, thanks to the dedication and commitment of our teams, volunteers and supporters of Southend Relay, without whom we would not be able to help Cancer Research fund the vital research."

Route Guide - iPhone / Android - Partners - Forum - Photos - Deals - What's New - School of Rock
Select Route:
This is a less-visited locale on the eastern side of Rocky Mountain National Park that requires a somewhat longer walk in, but it is a beautiful location with an alpine, granitic cirque with a small number of routes that go up to 1200 feet in length. Perhaps due to the abundance of closer alpine rock, this mountain can feel fairly remote despite it being a longer day trip.
Getting There
The most common approach is via the Lawn Lake Trailhead off the Fall River Road entrance into RMNP. Hike northward 1.4 miles to the junction where you go right towards Lawn Lake (not towards Ypsilon Lake & Ypsilon Mt.). Continue on a flatter 4.8 miles to the junction with the Black Canyon Trail and go left (Northeast) towards Lawn Lake. Curve around the eastern shore of Lawn Lake (6.3 miles). Near a patrol cabin, you get to a 4 option fork. The path you want is the 2nd from the left (not clearly marked). Continue to the fork for The Saddle (descent from the climbs). Consider leaving gear you won't climb with near this fork so you don't have to hike back to retrieve your gear. Continue leftward towards Little Crystal Lake (7.5 miles). Contour / boulder hop around the western shore and arrive at Crystal Lake (7.9 miles). Now the scrambling begins. The rest of the approach is only ~0.6 miles, but you probably need to budget in 1.5-2 hours for the remaining terrain, since the boulders are loose, and the final snow slopes are a bit treacherous. This snowfield is fairly sizeable and steep enough to make normal approach shoes feel inadequate. You can try to skirt the right side of the snowfield. We saw what seemed like an adequate path of scree/boulders resting on the left side and mid-left side of the snowfield and used that. There are spots where this is five steps up to gain one step's height. Eventually you can get a hole in the snowfield to gear up. Belaying from this hole may be the safest way onto the rock.

Attention Shoppers! Antipodium In Aisle One-------
Antipodium is a London-based label with Australian roots. Its name, according to creative director Geoffrey J. Finch (an Aussie, East London transplant himself), is "a play on Antipodean, and a nod to the democratic nature of style in our homeland. As the label has developed, the name continues to reflect our laid- back approach to fashion."
Fittingly, Antipodium's East London base is ground zero for the type of person for whom Finch designs: young and hip yet professional—the working girl who loves (and pays) for her party life. In the few years since the brand launched, Antipodium has become a firm favorite of cool purveyors like Alexa Chung, Beth Ditto, Edie Campbell, Dree Hemingway, and Carey Mulligan, among others, and is stocked by international powerhouses such as Barneys, Liberty, Opening Ceremony, Isetan, and many more.
The Spring '14 collection, which is previewed here exclusively ahead of this Saturday's runway show, is entitled Attention Shoppers. It is a tribute to Finch being a "shopgirl at heart. It's a mash-up of Are You Being Served?, Cher from Clueless, Miss Piggy, Romy and Michele, Pretty Woman, and Barbie—essentially the glory of retail," says the designer. The good news is that his hodgepodge of references works. A blush pink, iridescent knife-pleat skirt with a Tropicana-patterned bowling shirt takes the girl from the office cubicle to cocktails. Ditto a houndstooth jacket and a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work white dress. "With SS14, we're pitching to move to the next level," offered Finch. "These are exciting times."

Head football coach Jack Cosgrove has agreed to a new three-year contract that will keep him at the helm of the Black Bears through June 2016, according to University of Maine Director of Athletics Steve Abbott.
"I am pleased to announce that we have signed Jack Cosgrove to lead our football program for another three seasons," says Abbott. "Jack has done a terrific job as the leader of the Black Bear football team. He thrives on the intense competition and rivalries in the Colonial Athletic Association, and is committed to continuing to build upon the team's success."
Cosgrove, who just completed his 20th season leading the Black Bears, is a 1978 Maine graduate and All-Conference quarterback. He holds the program record with 111 wins. His 76 CAA wins put him fifth in conference history.
"I am especially pleased that we have finalized the contract for Coach Cos," says UMaine President Paul W. Ferguson. "We have been enjoying a productive conversation with Jack over the last several months following the season's end, both reflecting on his successful decades of service, but also on a vision for the future of Black Bear Football. I look forward to continuing our close friendship and partnership with him."
Cosgrove has led the team to four NCAA playoffs (2001, 2002, 2008, 2011), including advancing to the NCAA Final Eight on three occasions (2001, 2002, 2011) and two conference championships (2001, 2002).
Cosgrove's teams have produced 21 All-America selections and 129 All-Conference honors in the toughest conference in the Football Championship Subdivision. In the classroom, the Black Bears have garnered 26 Academic All-CAA honors from 2009-11, including 13 in 2011.
"In addition to being a first-rate football coach, Jack has been a great mentor and teacher for a whole generation of Maine football players," Abbott says. "Coach Cosgrove firmly believes in the importance of the academic and personal development of his athletes, and he has made that a priority for more than 20 years. I am delighted that he will continue to guide this program in the future."
Cosgrove has earned several coaching accolades, including being named the 1996 and 2001 Atlantic-10 Coach of the Year, the 2001 American Football Monthly I-AA National Coach of the Year and the 2011 New England Football Writers FCS Division I Coach of the Year.
"The Cosgrove family is grateful for this opportunity to continue to serve the state of Maine and the University of Maine and its Black Bear Football Program," Cosgrove says. "We look forward to facing — and embracing — the challenge of providing a quality academic and athletic experience for the young men in our program. We are already hard at work preparing, through our recruiting and training of our current football team, for the challenge of CAA football and our 2013 schedule."

|26th annual Apple Festival 'a-peeling' to all ages
|Monday, October 22, 2012 12:58 PM
VAN WERT — The Van Wert County fairgrounds, dotted with colorful lavender, yellow and rust-colored mums and bright orange pumpkins, hosted the community-driven 26th annual Apple Festival.
There was something for everyone — a multitude of arts, crafts, food and family-oriented activities including kids' games, wagon and pony rides, a model train display, apple butter, caramel corn and maple syrup cooking and, of course, those infamous fresh apple dumplings.
Of the original vendors, Carl Lape, president of the Van Wert County Fruit Growers, remains instrumental in the production of the yearly event. Much has remained the same in the past few years, with the exception of the new petting zoo. This year, the event drew nearly 120 craft and food vendors to the fairgrounds.
"We started [the festival] in the administration building with eight booths; three were Willman, Baker and Lape's apple orchards and the remaining five were church organizations," Lape reflected on the festival's humble beginnings. "Back then, we wanted to teach them [festival attendees] about drying apples and how to graft trees."
The Junior Fair Building housed a collection of craft and food vendors. Amidst the array of handmade Christmas decor, ornamental pillar candles and garlands of fall foliage, a booth displaying glass art stood out. Stained glass artist Jennifer Gilkey, crafter of sun catchers, window panels and other custom work, offered original vintage glass reclamation pieces. Each design begins with a layout, selecting, cutting, grinding and washing the glass, wrapping the edges in copper foil, and finally, soldering the lead seams, frame and hooks.
"It [each piece] takes about four hours from layout to completion." Gilkey explained, "My mother was crafting this artwork and I became interested in the trade. I have been producing my own work for about 10 years. It is a creative hobby that has become lucrative."
The community flu shot clinic on Friday and Saturday took place in the administration building. It also served as the temporary home for Heather Matthews' "Happy Gourds," a gallery of Halloween, Christmas and abstract art-themed fruit which she has displayed at the festival for the past five years.
"I purchase the gourds dry from an area farm," Matthews described the energy put into the work, "and my friend and I spend all of our free time two weeks prior to the festival designing and decorating the holiday inspired characters. "
The bulk of the booths were in the larger commercial building, which contained many food vendors cooking and serving tasty apple desserts. Among the tables of mercantile, there was one artisan actually demonstrating his craft. Weaver Hubert Keunek operated his floor loom; weaving threads [warp] into pre-cut material [weft] creating colorful "sheets" of woven material, which would later be cut into decorative floor coverings. Since it takes two full days to dress a loom [set up], weaving with the same materials continues until the loom runs out of thread.
"My father was restless and he wanted something to do." Keuneke reflected back in time, "I bought him a loom and he began weaving. I took up the craft in 1976."
A working model train, student art show, and kid's games were held in the agriculture building.

Former Howard Stern Show regular Artie Lange has written a book about his life and his recovery from addiction in 'Crash and Burn.'
"I was as out of control as a person can get. They say opiates take your soul; that's what it did to me. You lose friends, a job. I needed a whole year and a half to get better. Thank God I'm better," said Lange.
The Hoboken, NJ resident had a memorable break-down on the Howard Stern Show that eventually lead to him leaving the popular radio show for good.
"Howard could not have been better. He tried everything. He never fired me. If he had fired me I might have been to the point where I couldn't come back," said Lange.
While his days may be over on the Stern show, Lange is now hosting his own program.
The Artie Lange Show airs Monday- Friday, 10 pm - 1 am on Direct TV.
'Crash and Burn' is now on sale.

Two men suspected in a Nashville shooting death last year are now in police custody.
Aaron Hall, 19, surrendered at Metro police headquarters Thursday after a grand jury charged him with first-degree murder in the death of 28-year-old Chijoke Ike in August 2012.
Ike was found dead in a field near 33rd Avenue North and Felicia Street in north Nashville after his family had reported him missing.
A second suspect, Timothy Brown, 24, is also under indictment in Ike's death. Brown is already in custody on unrelated burglary and assault charges.

What happens if I miss a dose (Seasonique)?
Missing a pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant.
If you miss one "active" pill, take two pills on the day that you remember. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack.
If you miss two "active" pills in a row, take two pills per day for two days in a row. Then take one pill per day for the rest of the pack. Use back-up birth control for at least 7 days following the missed pills.
If you miss three "active" pills in a row, do not take the missed pills. Continue taking 1 pill per day on schedule according to the pill package and leave the missed pills in the package. You may have some bleeding or spotting if you miss three pills in a row. Use back-up birth control for at least the next 7 days.
If you miss any reminder pills, throw them away and keep taking one pill per day until the pack is empty. You do not need back-up birth control if you miss a reminder pill. If your period does not start while you are taking the reminder pills, call your doctor because you might be pregnant.
What happens if I overdose (Seasonique)?
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and vaginal bleeding.
What should I avoid while taking ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel extended-cycle (Seasonique)?
Do not smoke while using birth control pills, especially if you are older than 35. Smoking can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack caused by birth control pills.
Birth control pills will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases--including HIV and AIDS. Using a condom is the only way to protect yourself from these diseases.

The following drugs can make birth control pills less effective, which may result in pregnancy:

- prednisolone (Orapred);
- theophylline (Respbid, Theo-Dur);
- cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune, Gengraf);
- St. John's wort;
- antibiotics such as amoxicillin (Augmentin), ampicillin (Omnipen), doxycycline (Doryx, Vibramycin), griseofulvin (Grisactin, Grifulvin, Fulvicin), minocycline (Minocin), penicillin (Veetids, Pen Vee K, Bicillin), rifampin (Rifadin), rifabutin (Mycobutin), tetracycline, and others;
- seizure medicines such as phenytoin (Dilantin), carbamazepine (Tegretol), felbamate (Felbatol), oxcarbazepine (Trileptal), topiramate (Topamax), or primidone (Mysoline);
- a barbiturate such as butabarbital (Butisol), mephobarbital (Mebaral), secobarbital (Seconal), or phenobarbital (Luminal, Solfoton); or
- HIV medicines such as indinavir (Crixivan), saquinavir (Invirase), lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra), fosamprenavir (Lexiva), ritonavir (Norvir), or nelfinavir (Viracept), and others.
This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with birth control pills. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor.

The Munford native went to Boaz just hoping for an opportunity to play on the next level, but he left as a vital piece of their basketball program.
"I went up there for a tryout," Graham said. "He hit back later on in the summer and he said that he wanted me to come walk on at Snead. I had a great first semester and I ended up getting a scholarship in the second semester."
This season, Graham averaged 14 points and six rebounds per game. Graham made his presence felt right away. In his first collegiate game, he scored 16 points against Atlanta Metropolitan College. In his second game, he scored 19 points against L.B. Wallace College. He scored in double digits in 15 games, including a 21-point performance against Gadsden State.
"I was the second go-to guy on the team if we needed a big shot," Graham said. "I'll be the second sometimes, the first option to shoot the ball at big moments. Sometimes teams would have to double team me."
Last season, the 6-foot-6 forward showed he could bang on the inside. This upcoming season, he will get a chance to be on the wing where he can use his athletic frame to slash to the basket for highlight reel finishes like he had at Munford.
"I am moving to small forward this upcoming season," Graham said. "I played the position in high school. Since we have more height this season, he is going to move me to small forward. I will still play a little power forward and center. I am ready for that change; I have been waiting for it."
Graham said he felt proud he was able to come out of Munford and be successful.
"It feels great," Graham said. "Coming home and people are hearing that I am doing good. They are wishing me the best in my future. It feels great to come out of a small town like Munford and have that chance to shine in college."
Coming into this season, Graham has set lofty goals for himself.
"This upcoming year I want to be the leading scorer," Graham said. "I want to become an All-American for JUCO and I want to have the opportunity to go Division I."
Since getting out for summer, Graham has spent most of his free time in the gym working hard to become a better basketball player.
"I have been working every day trying to get better," Graham said. "I hit the weights everyday. I put up around 250 shots each day. I have been working on agility and just shooting every day."
Graham said he had a series of dunks in a game that served as one of his most memorable memories of his freshman season.
"I can't say that I have dunked on anybody this season," Graham said. "I had a couple of memorable dunks. I didn't dunk on anybody this season, but next season I plan on it. One game I had three dunks in a row. I had one put-back dunk, a tomahawk and a regular what I call a Lebron James dunk. That is when he cocks the ball back to his feet with two hands. It was all within a one-minute span."
Graham also handled his business in the class room as he finished the year on the Dean's List.
"This past year, I finished with A's and B's," Graham said. "Well it is a lot different, you practice all the time and you have to have time to do your school work. You have to do your school work that is a must if you want to play basketball. Mainly you are in the gym or doing homework. You are always busy with something. I had to get use to it, but it wasn't too tough."
Munford head coach Isiah Gaddis said he knew if someone gave Graham a chance he would shine on the next level.
"I figured he would do well," Gaddis said. "He is a hard worker and I am real proud of him. I think the sky is the limit for him if he continues to work hard."
