John T. Edge, who defines himself as an "eater, writer and educator," conquered that project and ultimately wrote his newest book, "The Truck Food Cookbook — 150 Recipes and Ramblings from America's Best Restaurants on Wheels."
John T., as he is known by friends and family, grew up in Clinton, Ga., taking weekend field trips to Atlanta with his father to uncover the mysteries of ethnic food and enjoying his mother's crispy, creamy corn sticks made in a cast iron mold.
After six years at the University of Georgia, essentially majoring in fraternity life and rebellion, John T. left without a degree and found great success in Atlanta's financial world.
Ten years later, John T.'s life took a huge turn when he decided to return to college at Ole Miss and enroll in the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, where he ultimately earned his master's degree. In 1999 he became the director of the brand new Southern Foodways Alliance, which defines its mission as documenting, studying and celebrating "the diverse food cultures of the changing American South."
Today John T. writes a monthly food column for The New York Times appropriately titled "United Tastes." Over the years, he has written articles for every major food magazine in the country, authored six books, and co-authored and contributed to many others.
John T. appeared on television shows "Iron Chef" and "CBS Sunday Morning," became a familiar voice on National Public Radio and for a short while, sold Dunce Dogs from his own hotdog-shaped cart on the square in Oxford, Miss.
While some refer to John T. as the "Pied Piper of Southern Food," his interest and youthfully spirited enthusiasm actually extends to all food as he commented, "We define ourselves by what we eat."
Most recently, many lucky eaters have been defining themselves by enjoying the innovative dishes developed by the chefs caught up in the surge of food trucks which is occurring in cities all over the country. So John T. set out to study, understand and present the world of food trucks in his latest book.
He believes the recent popularity of this blossoming food movement is based on several essential factors. First, the economy dictated the move from overwhelmingly expensive brick-and-mortar restaurants to a venue where creative thinkers can buy a used laundry truck, U-Haul trailer or a vintage Airstream, and convert it into a "small restaurant on wheels."
Additionally, while truck food patrons may want food fast, they do not want fast food. Therefore, as John T. explains, "…We've begun to fuse our demand for quick access food with a demand for honest and delicious food." While honest and delicious, truck food is anything but ordinary and he defines it as "Artisanal food on a paper plate."
Equipped with some type of mobile unit and unending imagination, these food truck chefs are thriving in cities like Austin, Minneapolis, Durham, Portland, Seattle, Tucson and San Francisco. They sell Crawfish Pies from the Swamp Shack, Grilled Cheese Mac and Cheese Sandwiches from the Grilled Cheese Truck and Morning Burgers from the Only Burger van. At Fliphappy Crepes, the pair of female chefs offers Moroccan Chicken Crepes from a 1966 Airstream-style trailer and customers eat at picnic tables shaded by pecan trees. The Bike Basket Pies baker prepares cupcake-size Shaker Lemon Pies in her home kitchen in San Francisco and delivers them on her bicycle. Twin sisters in Minneapolis serve Meet Me in the Morning Dogs in a 31-foot 1978 Chevrolet bus.
Spoonfed Grill —
food truck pioneer
Fortunately, there is no need to pack a suitcase, fill up the gas tank and take off on an extended road trip to discover the delights of this rapidly growing, extremely popular food trend. In downtown Birmingham, on many week days, from about 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., you can find three shining examples parked in the general area of 5th Avenue North and 20th Street.
Pioneer truck Spoonfed Grill, owned by Jason Parkman, has been on the street since 2009, essentially blazing the trail for other food trucks through the maze of roadblocks created by a lack of regulations and the basic newness of this type of venture.
Although his official title is executive chef, Spoonfed's Michael Brandon describes himself in a much more casual way as "head chef, dishwasher and maintenance man." His open, friendly manner exemplifies one of the benefits of truck food — access to the chef. Customers observe and converse with the person who prepares the food, often offering important feedback, while making street business the best advertising for the underlying catering business.
Influenced by his father, an international airline pilot who brought home ideas for all types of different food, his mother's Hawaiian background, and family travels, Michael began his journey in the food industry at 18 when he worked for a catering company. After graduating from Samford University and Culinard, the Culinary Institute of Virginia College, he worked for several fine dining establishments — Ocean, Table, and Hot and Hot Fish Club.
After 10 years in the business, Michael was working on a plan for his own food truck when the serendipitous opportunity to take the position at Spoonfed appeared. After two years, he revels in the creativity the food truck offers him and the two chefs who work with him.
Boasting flavors "from the South to Southwest," Spoonfed's menu presents Soul Bowls, (Korean Seoul — "seared steak, quick 'kimchee,' cilantro lime rice & special sauce;" Latin Soul — "fried jack cheese grits, garlicky spinach, pico de gallo, tomatillo sauce and feta;" Southern Soul — "kickin' collards, roasted sweet potatoes, pulled pork and Alicia's tomato chutney.")
Sandwiches include Blue Cheese Burgers and Slow Roasted Pork Sandwiches with crunchy cabbage mix and moritola dipping sauce (fat free ranch dressing with smoked jalapenos.)
Honey chicken and pork roll-ups join a trio of quesadillas. Michael recommends a Chorizo Quesadilla to a newcomer — a tasty combination of a variety of flavors — "jack cheese, caramelized onions, chorizo sausage & orange scented kale," served with a side of Watermelon and Feta Salad highlighted with balsamic vinaigrette.
Spoonfed's customers are happy to stop and chat while they wait on their lunch. One who works in Fairfield picks up lunch four days a week after his mid-day workout at the YMCA. Another, a transplanted New Yorker, is thrilled to see the food truck business off and running in Birmingham.
Shindigs —
"Local food fast"
Last summer experienced chefs Mac Russell and Chad Schofield took Shindigs Catering to the streets of downtown Birmingham with an aim to offer healthy lunch choices using local food.
After attending Culinard and working together at Hot and Hot Fish Club, the truck venture was a natural extension of their young catering business. While the Shindigs slogan is "Local Food Fast," these chefs meticulously adhere to their shared goal to satisfy customers by providing lunch efficiently without sacrificing good health or food quality.
They fry in healthy, hypoallergenic oil, use honey and agave nectar in place of refined sugar, purchase beef and poultry raised in open pastures without antibiotics or hormones, and the ultimate results are satisfyingly delicious.
Shindigs customers are greeted by a smiling order taker who patiently explains the menu items and is happy to recommend a selection to a curious new patron. Perusing the menu automatically evokes a smile for the clever names of the dishes as well as an anticipation of the eating pleasure to come.
First timers are well-served by the suggested steamed buns which offer a cozy bed for "Crispy Catfish with Spicy Selma Slaw" and "Sweet Soy Braised Short Rib w/Honkie Sauce."
The Shindigs menu also offers a diverse group of burgers, all served on Continental Bakery's custom-made Sweet Potato Rolls: Delizioso — "Loch Duart Salmon, Crispy Prosciutto, Smoked Mozzarella, Balsamic Onions, Mike Dean's Lettuces & Basil Yogurt;" Willis Burger — "Grass-fed Beef, Blueberry Mostarda, Gorgonzola, Truffle Sauce, & Watercress;" and Swinage a Trois— "Duroc Pork (Pattied, Pulled and Baconed), Mirliton Chow Chow & Spanked Peach Saus." Also served on a sweet potato roll, the Bama Roll includes "Royal Red Shrimp and Crawfish, Bloody Mary Yogurt, Pea Tendrils & Fines Herbes."
Dreamcakes — "Cupcakes Make People Happy"
Cruising under the logo "Cupcakes Make People Happy," Homewood's Dreamcakes Bakery joined the rolling restaurants about 18 months ago. During the week, two cupcake trucks visit sites all over the Birmingham area and one often joins Spoonfed Grill and Shindigs during lunch.
These trucks make appearances out in Irondale, at the Summit, around the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and occasionally have a "Wild Card Day" where customers who have collected a crowd call and invite the truck to join them.
While the energetic bakers at Dreamcakes continually experiment with new types of cupcakes for their seemingly endless repertoire, the trucks always load up four basic choices which are offered daily at the bakery. Two are white velvet cake — Over the Moon ("filled with vanilla buttercream, topped with an addictive vanilla bean buttercream and white chocolate curls") and Wedding Cake ("with an almond buttercream filling and frosting.") The other two are "decadent chocolate cake" — Chocolate High ("filled with a rich ganache, topped with a chocolate drizzle and a chocolate malt ball") and Caramel Sea Salt Mocha ("topped with a mocha buttercream, a drizzle of caramel and a sprinkle of sea salt.)
Then the drivers add some variety to the mix with several more choices which might include Cookies and Cream, Red Velvet, Peanut Butter Cup, or Curious George. The delicate cakes shine through under a mound of extra tasty icing that makes the heart sing. One of the drivers, obviously very pleased to deliver happiness, noted, "People are always excited about cupcakes."
Fresh Off the Bun — Vietnamese Flair with a Cajun Kick
Tosha Tran's Fresh Off the Bun truck just recently started rolling. Glowing with energy and enthusiasm, this young chef was raised in New Orleans after her family came to the United States from South Vietnam.
She brings the wonderful combination of Vietnamese cuisine matched with years of family restaurant experience which also showcases Cajun food. For about a decade, Tasha explored her passion for nursing.
Now using that career's knowledge related to overall good health, Tosha is focused on her passion for creating fresh, healthy food based on the exciting mixture of cultures she experienced growing up in New Orleans.
Echoing the sentiment of other food truck chefs who unanimously agree that the trucks open the door for creativity with the menu, Tosha devises dishes for private catering, special events, and will soon join the other trucks on the street. One of her latest creations, a Strawberry Lettuce Wrap, debuted at a recent food truck round-up. She offered this dish with three choices — Caramelized Pork, Cajun Chicken, and Blackened Tofu, served on locally grown lettuce with cabbage, carrots, and shallots, sprinkled with almonds and drizzled with Sweet Strawberry Chili Cilantro Sauce.
Her early in the game best seller is a Vietnamese Taco, easy to eat and perfect for events. A corn tortilla, made locally daily, is topped with one of her three pork, chicken, or tofu choices and is then enhanced with cabbage, cilantro, and mint before being finished with a sprinkle of Sriracha Aioli. Sriracha is an Asian Chili Sauce frequently used in Vietnamese dishes.
Tosha also bakes the whole wheat baguettes for her beautiful Banh mi sandwiches and the noodles for her Pho, a light, savory Vietnamese noodle soup. In all her preparations, she keeps individuals with special dietary needs or preferences in mind as she serves vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free items.
Tosha's vibrantly painted lime green and yellow truck is sure to draw attention as it travels the streets of Birmingham and shares her one-of-a kind menu with a receptive audience.
Offering dishes to delight the palate and the sense of well-being, Birmingham's truck chefs make certain hungry patrons do not have to hit the road following John T. Edge's example. Their success guaranteed as each chef brings his or her own unique twist to the truck table, the sky is the limit for food trucks in Birmingham.
Note to readers: The Freshworks! Festival, set for Saturday, June 16, from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m., at the Gardens of Park Place, 701 25th Street North, Birmingham, will feature several local food trucks as well as some from other cities. Admission is free for this family-friendly event which benefits the Jones Valley Teaching Farm and will include chef demonstrations, music and fresh items from local farmers and producers.

Scranton/WB RailRiders 4, Gwinnett Braves 1
- Todd Cunningham CF - 1-3 2B(3), BB, .255 Avg
- Brian McCann C - 1-4 RBI, .250 Avg
- Joey Terdoslavich RF - 3-4 .333 Avg
- Sean Gilmartin 6.2IP 4H 3R 2BB 6K 2.70 ERA
Sean Gilmartin carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning but surrendered three runs in the frame before exiting with two outs. Only Joey Terdoslavich was able to muster more than one hit on the offensive side of the ball and Todd Cunningham had the only extra base hit. The Braves actually outhit the RailRiders (this is really their name?) 7-5 but they just couldn't get the hits with men on base. Brian McCann also made his first rehab appearance with Gwinnett and it looks like he could be back within a week.
Tennessee Smokies 7, Mississippi Braves 0
- Braeden Schlehuber C - 2-4 2B, 208 Avg
- J.R, Graham 5.1IP 7H 3R 3BB 6K 3.45 ERA
The Braves managed just one hit through the first eight innings of this game, before loading the bases with two outs in the bottom of the 9th and having Barrett Kleinknecht pop out to end the game. Coming into this game the Braves had won five straight games and outscored their opponents 34-5 with three (rain shortened) shutouts. They still hold a half game lead over Jacksonville for first place in their division. J.R. Graham has allowed three runs in 5.1 innings pitched in each of his last two games.
Winston-Salem Dash 4, Lynchburg Hillcats 6
- Tommy La Stella DH - 3-3 2B(1), 2 BB, .727 Avg
- William Beckwith 1B - 0-2 3 BB, .261 Avg
- Matt Lipka CF - 1-2 RBI(16), SAC, HBP, .226 Avg
- Will Skinner RF - 2-3 HR(3), 4 RBI(9), .137 Avg
- Navery Moore 7IP 4H 2R 2BB 3K 6.53 ERA
I am going to list some absurd numbers from Tommy La Stella, because YAY NUMBERS! Tommy La Stella has made less outs than games played. He is batting 1.000 against lefties. He is a lefty. He has seven walks and zero strikeouts. His slash line .842/1.091/1.933. He is batting 1.000 with runners in scoring position. Navery Moore has also developed an interesting trend: 7, 1, 5, 2, 6, 2. Do you know what those are? If you guessed his runs allowed in order of appearance you would be correct. The takeaway here is he would be excellent on 10 days rest.
Greenville Drive 4 Rome Braves 7
- Casey Kalenkosky 1B - 2-4 2B(4), HR(3), 3 RBI(10), E(1), .273 Avg
- Carlos Franco 3B - 2-3 2B(5), RBI(14), K, .247 Avg
- Nick DeSantiago C - 2-2 2 2B(3), 2 RBI(2), 2 BB, .158 Avg
- Shae Simmons 2 IP 1H 0R 0BB 5K 1.93 ERA
In 14 innings so far Shae Simmons has struck out 22 batters while allowing just nine hits and two walks. The Braves took him in the 22nd round of last years draft. He started in college but reports had him losing velocity late in games and while he features three pitches he will probably remain in the bullpen in professional ball. Kalenkosky is a power hitting righty who is already tied for the team lead in HR (with Brian McCann). He has contact issues but his power is interesting enough. At 23 he needs to make some noise.

Vicks Germ Free Humidifier*Add your own review . See all reviews
Worked well for about a year, then developed a leak. Also much easier to maintain with distilled water, but I don't remember your package inserts suggesting that. Was purchased through Amazon, and the Model Number is V790, without the L. I am looking to take advantage of your three year warranty.
This is our second V790 Warm Air Humidifer. The design, size, and look of the unit is good for long-term use--such as keeping it on continuously over the course of a week as your child gets over a cold etc. The large (2 gallon) capacity is hard to find these days. The adjustment knob is sufficient to allow for an acceptable range of steam flow options, and the UV germicidal light is a bonus feature. We still use the germicidal liquid additive in addition however, just to be on the safe side. We would still have our first unit, but it succumbed to being in a house with 4 young kids. The second unit, though, came with a factory defect on one of the threaded reservoir caps--split at the moulded seam. Waiting for a warranty replacement part after only having the unit in service a couple weeks. Disposable replacement filters are a nuisance and somewhat expensive, but I guess a necessary evil.

So you dropped your Apple iPhone in the bath, the sea or the toilet, and you want to fix it, dry it out, and recover the data inside. Here's how to rescue a waterlogged iPhone. Updated, 17 Feb 2014
It's a sad fact that iPhones and iPads (but particularly iPhones) get damaged all the time. Probably the most common is the smashed screen, which we discuss in our article on getting Apple to replace your broken iPhone. But the second most common is almost certainly water damage.
Cheer up, however, because a quick dunk in the H20 isn't necessarily a death sentence for an iPhone - we can't guarantee anything, but all is not lost quite yet. In this article we explain the best strategies for dealing with a water-damaged iPhone or other iOS device. (Indeed, the same principles will apply to most electronic devices.)
See also: Apple will pay compensation in water-damaged iPhone cases
How to fix a water-damaged iPhone: Emergency external drying
First things first. Get the iPhone out of the water (lake/bidet/soup) right away, if you haven't already, and don't even think about plugging it in. If the waterlogged iPhone is plugged in already, unplug it (very carefully), and don't be tempted to turn it on and check for damage, which can cause short circuits.
If the wet iPhone is in a case, remove it; take the SIM card out too. (Removing the battery wouldn't hurt either, but this is obviously only for confident DIY-type users who are willing to void the warranty.) These steps help to reduce the number of nooks and crannies where water can linger, and help to avoid damage to key iPhone components.
Wipe the excess and exterior liquid off everything you can reach. Turn the iPhone upside down and give it a gentle shake to clear the ports and sockets.
How to fix a water-damaged iPhone: Deeper drying
Now we need to draw as much interior liquid out as possible. Resist the temptation to use a hair dryer or other heat treatment, which can damage the iPhone's internal components.
Believe it or not, many people swear by uncooked rice, advising owners to put their damp iPad or iPhone in a big bowl of the stuff (cover it completely) and leave it there for 24 hours or more. The rice will absorb the moisture effectively, but may get dust or even entire grains into the ports. Be warned.
We discuss this method in more detail in our article: iPhone water damage: rescue a soaked device with rice trick
However, a better option than uncooked rice if you've got it is silica gel – those packets that come with some electronic components. If you can muster enough of them to cover the iPad/iPhone (you may be able to buy them en masse from a craft shop), they'll dry it out more efficiently and less messily than the rice. You should still give the iPhone at least a full day to dry out completely, however.
Once you've waited a day or two and think you've successfully dried out your iPhone, you can try switching it on. If it still doesn't work, or if you want to get the internals checked out, you can ask Apple to take a look, but bear in mind that iOS devices have internal liquid detectors, so there's no point pretending the device went wrong of its own accord. They will know.
One final warning: a bad submersion may cause long-term damage, particularly to the battery, that only becomes apparent months later. In one famous case, an iPhone 3GS spontaneously overheated more than a year after being dropped in a pool. The owner had used the rice technique and the iPhone had worked fine afterwards.
How to fix a water-damaged iPhone: Anti-water damage products
Hopefully the steps above helped you revive the drowned iPhone in your life, but are there steps to help us avoid the situation in future? Yes there are.
Apologies if this sounds patronising, but step one is to keep your devices dry. Water's not, you know, good for iPhones and iPads. So those (extremely common) hazards so many iPhone owners risk - taking photos on the beach, browsing the web in the bath, even reading email on the loo - are best avoided. Most of us only cotton on to the dangers after our first soaked iPhone.
We're all human, however, and things get dropped, so it's best to anticipate this. If you really want to use your iPad to read ebooks by the pool or in the bath, consider buying a waterproof case: Lifedge has a £99 iPad case that can handle water and shocks; it also includes an anti-glare screen for sunlight viewing and doesn't restrict the functionality of the touchscreen or cameras. Also consider the LifeProof Nuud case.
We've got lots more options in our iPhone case reviews and iPad case reviews sections, along with our round articles: Best cases for iPhone 5c, Best cases for iPhone 5s, iPhone 5 and The best cases for iPad Air.
Another option to bear in mind is some kind of handle or wrist strap so that you're less likely to drop the device in the first place.
A handy emergency package to have around - obviously it's best to have it ready in advance, instead of waiting for the crisis to occur and then queueing at the shops - is Kensington's EVAP. It's pretty expensive for what you get, but effectively an improved version of the Silica gel trick above. Well worth consideration, we'd say.
How to fix a water-damaged iPhone: Hoax 'waterproofing' warning
Finally, a warning about a hoax advert that we think was originally intended as a joke, but has taken in a few unfortunate iPhone users around the globe.
Duped iPhonw owners have taken to Facebook and Twitter to vent their fury after being tricked by a fake iOS 7 advert. The mock-up, which was designed to resemble Apple's own ads, says: "Update to iOS 7 and become waterproof." Unfortunately, it appears that some users have ruined their devices by testing out this new 'feature'. One less-than-happy Twitter user wrote: "Whoever said ios7 was waterproof, **** you." It's thought that the hoax started out on 4chan, an online forum infamous for its pranks.
Needless to say, although iOS 7 has some great new features, including a completely redesigned interface, multitasking and the Control Centre, waterproofing is not one of them. If, however, you do accidentally drop your iPhone in some water, the tips above could help save your device.

The cabins are bigger than those of the smaller ship and as I explained below we really liked our cabin.
Food and entertainment was as expect. I enjoyed the new selection on the menu called "Didja." Each night they had an exotic starter item that most people have never tried and many didn't then. Some examples were Alligator Fritters, Frog Legs and Shark & Langoustino rolls. They also added a "Comfort Food" item each day.
What I was most impressed with was how polite, happy, nice and helpful the staff was! I've been surprised that other reviewers did not find this to be the case.

It is no hiding I am a Mayweather fan but after seeing this video I am not sure if Floyd is making excuses or does he have a legitimate claim? It seemed throughout his 17 year career Roger has been there and not only that but has been dedicated to his nephew. I don't really know what to make of this. I know Roger doesn't give great instruction but damn. This rubbed me the wrong way. But I may be tripping. However, I only have seen frustration from his corner and that was against Chavez and I forget where they were fighting. Roger was saying that Floyd should be breezing through the guy but Floyd was telling him it wasn't that easy. So I do not know. I have no idea how to to take this. Its shady either way. Last year you were calling your dad a cab driver who could not box for shit (i am glad Sr. and Jr. reunited) and saying Roger was the best trainer and now this. Some bullshit.

More importantly, I wonder if Roger is ok. Didn't know he needed eye surgery

It looks like the Baltimore Ravens are going back to the drawing board to find a fill-in for the injured Matt Birk after recently signed center Casey Rabach reportedly failed a physical. Birk is expected to be out at least a couple of weeks while he recovers from minor knee surgery.
Rabach, who just signed a two-year deal on Tuesday, failed the physical because of a should injury he suffered last season. The surgery was taken care of this off-season, but the Ravens apparently believed he was still two-three weeks away from returning, eliminating the necessity of signing him and forcing the Ravens to look for another replacement.
In the meantime, the Ravens have been forced to use undrafted rookie Ryan Bartholomew as their first-team center. The first-team work has been an unexpected surprise for the Syracuse product.
"It's interesting," Bartholomew said with a grin. "It's nothing new. Football is a game of adversity, and it's about how you respond to it. You're just trying to pick up everything, learn from the guys around you, ask questions, and make sure that you don't go out there and make the same mistakes over and over again. They don't expect us to be perfect every time, but they do expect us to learn from what we've done there."

Best day pack I've ever owned When I think of Sierra…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: sale price, less than MSRP
Best day pack I've ever owned
- suspension
- features
- lightweight
- a bit pricey...
When I think of Sierra Designs, I usually think of tents, then sleeping bags, and maybe outerwear. Packs I think are a new area for them. I got my hands on this 'Discovery' day pack about a year ago now, and I am very impressed.
It is a 30-liter pack. I find this to be the perfect capacity for day hikes all year except for when you need full winter equipment. For that I like a 40 liter pack (I'm eyeballing the Sierra Designs Ministry pack now).
The suspension on the pack is the first thing you'll notice. It's very sophisticated. But, it's still super-light. With a suspension like this, you could haul way more cargo than you'll ever need on a day hike. It combines an aluminum stay and separate top (shoulder-area) and bottom (waist area) foam sections.
Air can easily pass through the area between the upper and lower sections to keep your back cool. The upper and lower sections can move independently of each other. The shoulder straps are lightly padded. The waist belt is also lightly padded at the hips; and uses the forward-pull strap method that I love in my larger backpacking packs. All great stuff.
It is offered in two sizes (S/M and M/L). Check the specs to see which size is right for you. It is based on the length of your back. I am 5'10" 175 lbs which I expected would have put me in the larger size; but actually the smaller size fit me better.
The main pack fabric is very light. I suppose durability could be an issue over time. But so far, no problems. It is water resistant but not water proof. You'll want to protect your stuff inside in wet weather with a pack cover (or choose your other favorite strategy). All the fabrics, straps, etc seem to have been well chosen to be light but not flimsy. The main body of the pack is very straightforward. It's a top-loader with one main section. The top closes with a zipper; and the small-ish top section has an interior zip pocket with a clip for car keys or whatever.
The inside area also houses a hydration sleeve; and there's a small exit port behind your neck. Pretty standard, works fine. It has a large stretch-fabric external pocket on the back, and one each side. The external stretch-fabric pockets are super streamlined when not in use, but they expand more than I would have thought. They can hold large items easily. You can fit a 1-liter Nalgene bottle in the side pockets. The outside back pocket is even bigger.
There are also nice little zip pockets on each side of the waist belt. They are perfectly sized for a power bar and some Gu; or a small camera or GPS. There are also some attachment points on the back/outside of the pack for trekking poles or ice tools. There are compression straps on each side. They work well when needed.
So, this pack is actually quite feature-rich. But it achieves this in a very un-assuming way. The overall look is very plain and streamlined. I'd say it's an impressive melding of minimalism and outdoor-techy. It's great for moving fast and light in the mountains; but if you need to load it up with more weight, the suspension can handle it. It's a basic, simple looking pack, but I think someone actually put a lot of time and thought into getting it just right.
I've had this pack for almost a year now and I've used it maybe 20 days. It has become my favorite day pack ever. Highly recommended.

vacation rental description
Rent 2 BR/2 BA or 4 BR/4BA -- "Salsa" and "Jazz Corner" have 2010 and 2040 square feet respectively, each with 2 Bedrooms and 2 Baths that can be booked separately or rented together as a huge, 4 BR, double corner residence. All rooms open to indoor-outdoor living areas with spectacular Sea of Cortez and Estuary views from our convenient hilltop setting. There's a heavy, locking, alderwood door that separates or connects the two condos through the covered terrace. Sunrises - Sunsets - Sea Breezes - Sparkling Lights - Spaciousness - Style -- it's all here!
Even at the front doors, you realize Salsa and Jazz Corner are a place of privilege. A place to get away from your busy home and office, to retreat to your own corner at the tip of the Baja. A retreat where you can brew & sip your latte while watching the sun rise over the estuary, the pale pink light filtering in and blending with the condo's vibrant Mexican colors.
Quilts, paintings, photographs, and custom furniture make it apparent that art lovers created these casually sophisticated surroundings. Glass doors disappear into pockets to open up to the comfortably furnished terrace for an ideal indoor-outdoor lifestyle and vantage point. The views and the location are private and serene, yet also convenient and exciting, from sunrise to sunset, from beaches to lush landscaping, from sparkling pools to city lights. Walk 2 to 12 minutes to many great restaurants, 15 to 20 minutes to a wide sandy beach lined with resort hotels on one end and a huge wildlife sanctuary on the other.
Sleeping accommodations are geared to the utmost comfort and flexibility. All mattresses are imported and top-of-the-line, with spinal comfort support and pillowtop luxury. Linens are imported, also, with Egyptian cotton softness and high thread counts. Salsa's beds: Eastern King or two XL twins in one master; two double beds (full size) in the other; day bed on the terrace. Each condo has a queen width (but slightly shorter) pull-out sofa in the living room. Jazz Corner's beds: Eastern King in the master; Eastern King or two XL twins in the other. Port-a-Cribs upon request.
Who Belongs at Salsa and Jazz Corner? If you want to park yourselves at the same spot in the sand every day for a week, this is probably not your ideal spot. Rather, Salsa and Jazz Corner delight those who prefer to sample lots of different activities and then get away from the crowd (and maybe even from too many hours of intense sun) to some luxurious peace and quiet (and shade with a view), with acoustical and visual privacy. We could have bought on the beach, but we thought Alegranza was better, offering so much more:
Vistas: From Sunrise over Punta Gorda and the Estuary, to the sparkling Sea of Cortez, boats, and beaches, to Sunset over Punta Palmilla; out over the hotel zone, the Alegranza pools and grounds, the night lights, and the twin spires of the historic mission town set against a backdrop of mountain peaks--plenty of ocean view, but not ONLY an ocean view.
Space: 4,050 square feet, a terrace across the entire ocean side and wrapping around the corner, 10' ceilings, bright and airy, the indoors opening wide to private outdoor terraces.
High Quality: Architectural design of high international standards; far above average, new construction; filtered water throughout the resort; GE Monogram appliances; travertine floors.
Privacy: Alegranza's 93 units are arranged so no one can see from one condo into any other condo, and ours are high enough not to be disturbed by foot traffic outside our windows.
Eating Options: At the resort choose between Casiano's celebrated upscale spontaneous cuisine; a moderately priced, light and fresh bar and grill; room service; concierge-arranged in-home chefs; and cooking in with groceries delivered and stocked for you or picked up at a nearby grocery store; or there's a multitude of restaurants within walking distance. If you'd like to do some cooking, you'll be delighted that the kitchens are cheerful and well-equipped. The dishes range from toddler dishes to everyday quality to hand-painted Mexican Talavera pottery.
Convenience: Free high-speed Internet access, a color printer/scanner/copier for your use and washer and dryer in each unit; rare, reserved underground parking at the base of your elevator; and a concierge to arrange activities, optional airport transportation, grocery deliveries, and extra housekeeping or daily maid service. Port-a-cribs and high chairs available upon request. Easy access for strollers, luggage, toddlers, or grandparents: elevator from underground parking straight up to the third floor.
Much To Do: from swimming, tennis, putting practice, saunas, a fitness gym; possible yoga and Pilates nearby or at the resort, to the nearby beaches, you can venture every day to a new activity, then return to the relaxing surroundings of Salsa and Jazz Corner. Mexican beaches are publicly owned, and you may spread out on a different one every day. There's easy access to the closest one--complete with palapas, between the Presidente and Mayan hotels. Salsa and Jazz Corner have some beach chairs and umbrellas, beach towels, coolers, and beach toys to take along. Also, Alegranza guests may purchase day passes to an all-inclusive beachfront resort, with water park, spa, food and drinks (ask if interested; subject to third parties' policies).
Relaxing: Kick back at Salsa and Jazz Corner, enjoying our games, puzzles, pool toys, or books, 3 HDTVs per condo, DVD players and a library of great movies, plus cable tv. Choose from our library of 75 CDs per condo or listen to your own music through the iPod docks and speakers indoors and out. Keep cool with ocean breezes, A/C with separate zones and multi-speed ceiling fans in each room.
Less Costly: All of this will cost far less than a smaller, lower quality, more crowded and less private, beachfront condo or hotel.
Our website describes many more local activities, so e-mail us for a link to that. Alegranza Resort wants to be your five-star home away from home.

activities and attractions in San Jose del Cabo Baja California
Besides going to the beach, go ride ATVs or horses, snorkel, surf (rentals and lessons are offered), fish, or go boating. (We especially enjoy sailing and kayaking.) You don't have to stay at a touristy hotel or crowded beachfront complex and give up your privacy to spread out in front of one, or to find a secluded spot along the miles of local beaches (especially wide and uncrowded between us and Puerto Los Cabos Beach by the new marina).
The nearest beach is 1/2 mile away. It adjoins a wildlife preserve with great trails and fascinating wildlife, and ATV tours start close by, too. The popular Palmilla Beach, where there is fishing, boating, swimming, and snacks, is 12 minutes away by car. It also has palapas and pelicans.
You can get your workouts in Alegranza's fitness center or pools, on the tennis court, or walking. Relax in a sauna, private jetted tub, or oversized outdoor Jacuzzis. Practice putting at Alegranza, or, for only $63, go play a par 3 course you can see from the condo. Visit one of the many local spas or arrange for pampering in the condo. We're also within a short drive of nine "Top Ten" golf courses, including the gorgeous Jack Nicklaus Palmilla Golf Course.
Your teens can have fun at the nearby skateboard park, also convenient for walking your dog. Take a day trip to the East Cape and amazing coral reefs. Spend a day swimming with dolphins or sailing, an evening in Cabo San Lucas, 17 miles the other direction, then get away from the noisy beach, bars, and cruise ships. And there are the new and extreme sports such as kite surfing and zip lining. Stroll with local families through San Jose's town plaza, visit the Art District.
Walk to town, many excellent Mexican and international style restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and video rentals.
Or just sit back, sip something cool, listen to music, and enjoy the panorama.

Jubilee Fund could give children a bit of fresh air (From Banbury Cake)

Jubilee Fund could give children a bit of fresh air
12:00pm Thursday 18th October 2012 in News
Buy this photo Children from the Comper Foundation Stage School, in East Oxford, pictured during a lesson in a forest classroom run by the Nature Effect charity
THE Nature Effect charity is on a mission to get children out from behind television screens and into the fresh air.
But they can't run their work on fresh air alone, so they are hoping the Jubilee Fund will help them with a funding boost.
Nature Effect was set up less than a year ago to encourage people to "reconnect" with nature.
Annie Davy, 52, from Cowley, helped set up the charity.
She said: "My previous job with Oxfordshire County Council involved talking to people about what would make them happier and healthier, and the thing that came up time after time was more outdoor space to enjoy and the chance to relax and do fun things there with their families. Connecting with nature is important for us all, but especially the young and those who may live in more urban areas, with less access to green spaces."
The charity, which runs activity days and events for families, schools and playgroups in the great outdoors, is hoping to get a grant from the Jubilee Fund for Oxfordshire, set up in April to commemorate the Queen's Jubilee by raising money for small local groups and projects, many of which are struggling in the current financial climate.
Charities and community groups that want to be considered for a Diamond Grant should email their details and a brief synopsis of their work to email@example.com or post to: Oxfordshire Community Foundation, 3 Woodin's Way, Oxford, OX1 1HD.
To donate to the fund or to volunteer to fundraise on its behalf, email email@example.com, call 01865 798666, or drop into OCF's offices at 3 Woodins Way, Oxford.
Alternatively, donate by phone by texting JBLE 12 to 70070.

Last year the Stevensville Yellow Jackets won the Class A State Championship, it was their first ever in school history.
"Last year was the best time of my life, just getting to win that state championship for the first time for Stevi it was great and to celebrate with my teammates and all that it was just awesome," said Senior Zach Gavlak.
After tasting championship success, the Yellow Jackets say it's only added fuel to the fire.
"You know I think we might want it even more this year because it was such an amazing accomplishment," said Junior Jessie Sims.
"Having us like win a state championship I think that made a lot of us work that much harder in the offseason," said Senior Jared Schultz.
Stevensville will defend their title with a new head coach in Joey Wark, who takes over for Keith Chambers after he led Stevi for over two decades. Wark has played and worked under Chambers and says things won't be much different.
"Right now we are doing the same things in practices we're not changing anything, the drills are the same and the kids already know the stuff that we're doing so that part of the transition has been pretty smooth," said Head Coach Joey Wark.
It makes for a smooth transition when you have talented guys like Jared Schultz, Jessie Sims and Zach Gavlak returning, and it has the fans of Stevensville excited.
"You walk around the community and you have people ask you 'how is the basketball season going to be? And I respond that we have a lot of kids back and everybody knows already it's not a mystery who is coming back, so there's a lot of buzz and people looking forward to the season," said Wark
So it's high hopes once again for the fans and the players down in the Bitterroot.
"My expectations, I mean I don't like to be too cocky, but I think we can go out on the court and do it again," said Gavlak.

Most kids won't see the inner workings of a hospital unless they are patients, and even then, they don't get to follow their doctors and nurses around. So when Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center opened their doors for a day to kid, the kids signed up, got their clearance badges and put on their scrubs. Nancy Naeve Brown has more from scrubs camp.
These Marshall Area students are sporting scrubs and spending the day getting real life lessons in healthcare from the real life experts at Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center. This is the second year of scrubs camp. Forty kids, grades 6th, 7th and 8th, split up in to different groups to explore all areas of the hospital for a day. These students started in the Emergency Department with EMT's and paramedics with North Memorial Medical Center.
Vickie Abel says, "They are going to learn what happens when a patient comes in after having a heart attach. Between the ambulance and the ER, the kids so through the simulation of bringing someone back to life after a heart attack."
From inside the ambulance, they went inside to Avera Marshall's Certified Level 3 Trauma Center. Erin Muck, head ER nurse here, is letting the kids take turns giving CPR to the mock patient. Erin's 12 year old daughter whiten went to scrubs camp last and like it so much she brought a friend this year. I asked if she wants to follow in her mom's footsteps.
Whitney says, "I've thought about it but I don't like blood that much so..... yeah."
Most kids will never see inside an ER especially the trauma room hopefully so this is a really great opportunity even if they don't like blood."
Whitney says, "I want to be a pediatrician."
Brooke Chesley says, "I want to be a pediatric oncologist. I always loved being with kids and working with kids so I thought I should go into health care and help kids who have cancer."
Vickie Abel says, "I think for us in rural Minnesota it's so important to keep our kids in the local area and build that enthusiasm to stay and understand some of the career choices available in health care and opportunity to spend the day rotating through all the departments getting their feet wet and understanding that health care can be an exciting place to work. It should be a really great day to experience the positive side of health care and understand the opportunities and the processes involved behind the scenes in a hospital."
And everyone here is hoping that one day these campers will return in grown up scrubs and continue the cycle of caring for life right here at home in Marshall.

Twenty-nine courthouses across Tennessee, including the federal building in Memphis, were evacuated Tuesday after each received a bomb threat.
According to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, all of the reported threats were called in by phone.
The federal building in Memphis houses the federal court and offices for the Department of Justice, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen. It was cleared around 9 a.m. for a couple of hours while authorities checked it.
Police temporarily blocked a trolley line that ran by the federal building in Memphis and brought in a dog to search the building before letting people return around 11 a.m.
"It just took me by surprise - a man's voice saying, 'is this the courthouse? If so, you're about to be blown up.' It scared me more than anything, of course," said Rebecca Nicholson, Cheatham County clerk's office employee.
No bombs have been found at any of the locations, and a similar bomb threat hoax last week targeted 28 courthouses in Oregon.
Cheatham County Mayor David McCullough said he is pleased the evacuations went smoothly and nothing was found, but he is upset they happened at all.
"If this is a joke, then it's a sick joke," McCullough said.
There are also reports that threats are happening in several other states. WLBT-TV said the courthouse in Jackson, MS, received a bomb threat Tuesday.
The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security released the following list of 29 Tennessee counties where court clerks received bomb threats Tuesday:
Six Middle Tennessee counties:
Nine West Tennessee counties:
Fourteen East Tennessee counties:

text: I have found out that my husband has been watching dirty videos online. I knew he used to but I had thought that after we performed Hajj he had stopped. I was shocked to find out that he continues to, the first time I found out was when I was expecting our first child, Alhamdulilah I had a smooth pregnancy and our doctor never forbid us from getting physical till the very end. I was shattered as I was going to a huge physical and mental change whereas on the other side my husband was watching naked women. I went ahead and confronted him about it, but he got angry and said it is normal guy behaviour, every guy does it and it is insignificant.I tried to explain him how hurtful it is as a wife when I am always available in the next room but he couldnt understand and we had a huge fight. I moved on and thought things will change once he becomes a father. Now after our childs birth I found out that he still does that. This time it has really hurt me, knowing that this is what my husband is indulging in when my baby and I are asleep in the next room. I dont understand why he cant come to me if he has any desire because I am through my recovery period. He chooses to do this when I have went through so much physically and I have never said no to him since we have gotten married. I have lost respect for him as he always claims that he wants to become a daee. I have been so disturbed since I found out that I dont want him to touch me. I feel like leaving the house when he is due to come back from office so that I dont have to look at him. Please advice me what I should do.

EL PASO Ill -- 27 years ago, when the Bloomington-Normal St. Jude Run began for the first time, a passerby would not have seen a herd like this
125 runners participated in this year's run.
"We have got about 40 people with us this time who are doing this for the first time, said co-coordinator of the run," Dennis Cler. "That's what we want to get. We want to keep getting new people on board."
While the faces have changed with more and more runners joining the cause, one small neighborhood in El Paso, Illinois is a familiar pit stop for the group.
"Every year we try to do it to the best of our knowledge," said the pit-stop host, Clara Harvey. "We do it with the help of everyone who donates and the parents of children who are afflicted with different types of cancers. It is overwhelming. People should come and see for yourself. "
El Paso resident, Clara Harvey has been hosting the event at her home since the beginning, providing a much needed refueling for the runners.
Following a short break, the Bloomington Normal runners continued their journey down Route 251 towards Eureka, which is just one leg of their 54 mile trip.
While the run may be challenging at times, runners say every step is worth it.
"Yeah, it's a long journey. You get hot and you get tired. Your shoes stick to the pavement and stuff like that. Someone made a comment one time that it is a lot easier than the kids doing chemo."
One El Paso father knows just how hard it is for his child to go through treatments.
His 13-year old son, Gavin, has been diagnosed with cancer twice.
He said watching the runners pass through his hometown gives his family hope.
"It means everything to us because we've been through this for two years now. It's neat to see what they produce."
This year, these runners raised $210,000 for St. Jude, not including telethon numbers.

On Monday, April 16, runners from around the world will set off on the 116th Boston Marathon.
That's not so far off, and marathoners in the South End have been training all winter for this moment (we've seen you out there, running in the cold and rain, and we think you're a little crazy, but we respect what you're doing).
As runners increase their miles, load up on carbs and develop anti-chafing strategies (is that what marathoners do? We really don't know), many are also trying to raise money for charities that parther with the Boston Marathon. Those who run the marathon as part of a charity effort need to raise $4,000!
If you're a South End resident and you're running the Boston Marathon, tell us about your training and your inspiration, and also share information about your fundraising efforts.
Leave a comment below, and if you're running for charity, tell us about it and include a link to your online fundraising profile.
As the marathon gets closer, we'll share your information on the site.

Pushkar Camel Fair, Horse Dance Competition
At Pushkar, the worlds largest camel fair there's also a large number of cattle and horses being shown and sold. One of the events is the Dancing Horse Competition where horse stallions walk on their hind legs for more than a minute and prance on cots, often with someone will lay between the horse's legs as its dancing.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

For a startup that now employs more than 100 people, has thousands of YouTube followers and is changing the face of Main Street in their hometown, its beginning was pretty unassuming.
You don't need to spend countless hours in a classroom, or have an MBA to become a successful entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs often don't have the time or patience to sit through a semester long class or six-week course in order to retrieve the answer to a question they have now--today. They need help quickly and efficiently. And this is where our idea for Founders School started.
Strategic words are out. Personal search is in. This week, the Kauffman Foundation held a seminar on "Online Branding for Startups" with help from Mark Traphagen of Virante, a SEO marketing firm out of Durham, N.C. I learned a number of things in the hours we discussed branding with entrepreneurs and Kauffman associates, but here are my top four takeaways.

Police now say the teenager charged with murdering two men in Central Falls knew his victims. Investigators say Pedro Lopez, 19, targeted the men who were left rotting in a Sylvian Street apartment.
Police were called to the home mealier this month after neighbor reported a foul smell. The bodies of Malcolm Townes and Nathan Lewis were found inside. Police say Lopez killed them with 'sharp force', something consistent with a knife.
Officials are not commenting on any possible motive. They are looking into wether any one else was involved in the killings.

The northeast could help lead the way to a renewable energy-based economy by using marginal agricultural land and reclaimed and abandoned mined land to grow energy crops such as perennial grasses and fast-growing woody plants. That's the goal of a new research and education project drawing on West Virginia University expertise and supported by a nearly $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The Northeast Woody/Warm-season Biomass Consortium, or NEWBio, led by Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, will develop perennial feedstock production systems and supply chains for shrub willow — a short-rotation woody crop — and the warm-season grasses switchgrass and miscanthus. The project will promote the use of marginal farmland and abandoned and reclaimed mine sites so that these crops will not compete for resources with food production.
WVU's participation will be led by Jingxin Wang, professor of wood science and technology in the Division of Forestry and Natural Resources in the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design.
"Feedstock development and biomass logistics are the key to the success of biofuel production," Wang said. "This project is aimed at overcoming existing barriers and dramatically increasing the sustainable, cost-effective supply of lignocellulosic biomass, and will help promote the regional research collaborations on sustainable bioenergy in the northeast."
This is the sixth such award made through USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative, aimed at developing regional, renewable energy markets, generating rural jobs and decreasing America's dependence on foreign oil.
In September 2011, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced five major Agriculture and Food Research Initiative grants for the formation of five regional systems in the Pacific Northwest, the northwest, northern states, southern states and the southeast, valued at $136 million. "The creation of this biofuel system will significantly contribute to improving rural prosperity and job creation in the northeast by funding effective public- and private-sector partnerships," Vilsack said. "Overall, the six regional systems supported by USDA and the Obama Administration represent an opportunity to create thousands of new jobs and drive economic development in rural communities across America by building the framework for a competitively-priced, American-made biofuels industry." Consortium partners include Cornell University, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Delaware State University, Ohio State University, Rutgers University, Drexel University, University of Vermont, USDA-ARS's Eastern Regional Research Center and the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Idaho National Laboratory.
Spanning West Virginia to New England, the project also will engage state and local agencies, citizen groups, environmental and economic development organizations, and companies in fields such as crop genetics and fuel manufacturing and use.
NEWBio will address technical issues in three areas: human systems; plant production and genetics; and harvest, preprocessing and logistics. Integrated with these technical thrusts will be teams looking at sustainability systems, safety and health, extension and educational programs and leadership and evaluation.

We are using subversion for source code control. Different developers have different paths to their working folders, but we all need to re-use the same MyGeneration project files.
When I use a relative path in project file with the MyGeneration UI, it outputs the generated files relative to C:\\Program Files\\MyGeneration. Instead, I would MUCH prefer if MyGeneration would treat path specifications relative to the directory containing the MyGeneration project file.
By the way, this issue is not specific to subversion. Also, when using nant and zeus for the build, the relative paths are handled properly because nant sets the current directory.

Maine Shore Steward Volunteers - Stream Team Program Role Description
Stream Team Program Volunteers
Support and training is provided in Portland, Maine. Volunteer work can be done state-wide.
The Maine Stream Team Program (MSTP) is a network of people concerned about Maine's streams and also serves as a clearinghouse of information intended to support stream protection activities. A "stream team" is a group of people who have banded together to promote stewardship of their local stream.
Membership is free to any interested citizen, family or organization.
Stream teams range from a small group of concerned landowners, to school groups, to established river organizations. You establish the course of events and volunteer activities to protect your stream. Examples of stewardship projects include: learning about streams, performing stream habitat surveys, doing stream "clean-ups," planting stream-side trees and monitoring water quality.
Once you have a "team" and a stream, you are set. Visit www.maine.gov/dep/water/monitoring/rivers_and_streams/vrmp/reports to learn more about the volunteer process and your responsibilities.
Time Commitment
Stream team volunteers make their own commitment to their chosen project. It is your responsibility to set goals and follow through on them.
Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP) will help you with ideas, advice, and informational packets, but only your team has the power to get things done.
Professional training, environmental impact, connection to and support from MDEP and UMaine marine geologists.

Browns DE Jayme Mitchell has agreed to a two-year deal to return to the club, he told PFW Friday.
Mitchell said the "direction of the (Browns') program" and the interest they showed in him were factors in his decision. Mitchell will play left defensive end in the Browns' new 4-3 scheme, he said.
The 6-6, 285-pound Mitchell didn't appear in a game with the Browns after Cleveland acquired him via trade in October. He had played his entire career in a 4-3 scheme with Minnesota before being dealt to the Browns.
Mitchell, 27, has notched five sacks. He is entering his sixth NFL season.
