My friend Glen and I like to make an annual trip out to Vegas. We usually go in April but this years April trip was cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. However we rescheduled for November and this time Peter and Todd decided to join us. We made our plans, but a few weeks before we were to leave it looked like it all might be coming apart as Todd had contracted some strange fever/disease while in the Caribean, perhaps Dengue. There were was high fever and whole host of other symptoms. He was not able to climb for 3 weeks before the trip and strength and stamina were way down, not to mention the undiagnosed sickness that was playing havoc with his body. Long term health seemed to be more of a concern rather than the viability of the trip. He finally felt slightly better a week before we were set to leave and actually got to the gym twice. I knew he would at least be ok to go when he was TRing 12's.
Finally the day came and Peter and Todd flew out a few hours before Glen and I. We all met for breakfast in the hotel the following morning after getting in at midnight the day before. I had a big agenda that included a number of long, challenging climbs. The plan was to head to First Creek Canyon for a day of acclimation. I had mentioned Hot Flash, a new 10 ptich 1300' 5.8 as a possibilty for a warmup, but also said that we could do Lotta Balls or Black Magic both 3-4 pitch climbs. We were in no real hurry so we had breakfast, went accross the street to Walmart to acquire all the necessary supplies and headed for the Canyon. By the time we reached the pullout it was about 10:30. I assumed that we would do one of the shorter routes, but as we were hiking in we all decided to do Hot Flash which was fine by me. It took a little doing, but after about an hour approach we found the route. This route is only about a year old and First Creek Canyon, unlike many other areas in Red Rocks seems to have a fairly strict traditional ethic. The route had basically no fixed gear or anchors and being new it had no chalk. All of this would make for a fun day, but since we had been so nochalant about things we got to the base of the route and did not start climbing until about 11:30. Even better is that this route is a walk off and one that none of us had done before. It was also November and was dark by 5PM. I had also left my small climbing pack in the car since I did not think we would be doing a long route. So the three of them sent me off to start the route. As I began leading the first pitch there was no chalk to follow and I had slightly misinterpretted the route desciption by about 20 feet. After scrambling up an easy I began up a small rotten flake a little left of where I was supposed to be. I got my first piece in about 100 feet off the deck, behind a nice loose sandy flake. I climbed about 20 feet above this and got in a second bad piece in some rotten rock. I started to realize that this could not be 5.8 climb that I had heard about that was really fun with solid gear all the way. No the loose, sandy 5.10 moves that I was doing would have to be downclimbed. I carfully reversed the dicy stuff for about 40 feet traversed right about 15 feet and got into a really fun and solid layback flake that I followed for about 70 or 80 feet to the belay ledge. Hopefully the rest of the climb would not be the same routefinding challenge as this. After this great pitch, I was greeting by a nice pile of human poo at the belay. Nice! Anyway Glen started up after me and Todd led up right behind Glen. We were all a little concerned about time and knew that we had to move faster, with 1100 feet of climbing to go. Things from there went really well on the climb and we sprinted the entire route in 4 hours as I reached the top at about 3:30. The climb was fun, easy, interesting, varied, well protected, really nice mellow 5.8. The descent on the other hand was not. By the time Todd reached the top it was just after 4 and we had about an hour of light left. The top of this route is actually the midpoint of the cliff as there is over 1000 feet of rock still above us. The way down was a walkoff that headed down a gulley that traversed the cliff line back towards the mouth of the canyon. This gully was not that bad, with mostly third class and little bit of 4th class for about 1/2 hour. The descent description said to look for another gully that drops off to the left, it will look very unlikely. We got to the base of the first gully and saw another gully that looked pretty unlikey, and it was! Fortunately there was one fixed sling around a big Ponderosa pine at the head of the gulley, somone must have gone down there! With the light starting to fade we did a single rope rap down the gulley through a slot choked with moss, dirt and dust to a small platform. The gulley continued straight down from there into the distance and out of sight. From here we basically were downclimbing Betty for about 800-1000 feet with some harder 5.7 and 5.8 moves throw in for good measure. The climbing on the downclimb was much more challenging than any of the climbing on the actual climb itself. In darkness we finally reached a ledge with a small tree that had two slings on it that led down into the darkness. At least we had two 70M ropes so we we could do a 230' rap. One by one we rapped into the darkness, we hadn't found any bodies yet and someone had to have gone before us to leave those slings. Somehow our ropes found the only water for miles as the ends were lieing in a small pool at the very end of the rap. We still could not tell where we were or if we were down. We gathered up the ropes and headed where we thought our packs might be. We did actually find the approach that we used, but in the darkness would couldn't be certain until we were back at our packs. The entire descent back took us over two hours, most of the time not really sure if we were going the right way or headed for a dead end. We still had to get back to the car though which was about an hour away in the light. When we had started the climb Peter had noticed that there appeared to be a trail that led down to the wash that would be a good way out. Seeing it in daylight and finding it in the dark on fourth class terrain choked with holly are two completely different things. After thrashing through the bushes for another 1/2 hour or so we finally found the wash, but not without falling about 3 feet up to our waists through a false floor of dead brush. After thrashing through the wash we found the approach trail and made to the car by about 8:30. A little more than we had bargained for on our first day, but all in all a great day. This was friday, and the plan had been to climb Inti Wantana on Saturday. Inti is 1200' 5.10+ on Mt. Wilson, the largest formation in the Red Rocks escapment. The 2 1/2 hour 4th class aproach would require a predawn start and fast climbing on 5.9 and 5.10 terrain. Everyone was a little tired for that, so we decided to head back to the hotel for a shower and dinner. We would climb Inti on Sunday instead. One of the great things about Red Rocks is that you can climb all day on superb sandstone and then go back to your hotel that cost very little for a shower and then head out for a great meal. There is no shortage of great restaurants in Vegas and we had no shortage of calories burned, so whatever you want to eat you eat. Tonight it was to be Flemings, a great steakhouse and my favorite place to eat in Vegas. After about 5 beers, home made breads, Cajun Shrimp, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Grilled Asparagus, Rack of Lamb, Creme Brule and Chocolate Lava cake I was feeling quite relaxed.
Saturday we met for breakfast in the hotel at 7am and then headed off to Black Velvet Canyon with no real agenda. Since we were to do a long challenging climb the next day none of us felt like bitting off a whole lot. In previous years we had done many long excellent climbs including Dream of Wild Turkeys, Sour Mash, Prince of Darkeness and Epinenphrine. Glen and I headed over to Whiskey peak to do Sand Felippe. Since we were feeling lazy this over bolted 5.10 face climb fit the bill perfectly. After whinning a bit throught the first few bolts I quickly climbed to the anchor skipping a few bolts on the way. 20 bolts in 150 feet is just a few too many. After breaking down this climb I dozed off for about a half hour and actually woke up motivated. We thought about doing as much of Sour Mash as possible before we had to rap off due to darkness, but we decided on The Gobbler. The Gobbler is the excellent 3 pitch direct start to Dream of Wild Turkeys. So we headed back into the wash and up the 50' foot 4th class headwall that protects the Velvet Wall. When we got there Peter and Todd were on the 2nd pitch of Overhanging Hangover, a 2 pitch 5.10 that traverses out the giagantic roof of Fiddler on the Roof. We watched them for a few minutes, taking a few pictures then set off the do the Gobbler, only about 50 yards to the left. The first pitch, which you can basically see none of from the ground follows a series of right angling "ramp"/"flakes". This is really interesting climbing where you either have really good hands and no feet or just the opposite, pretty much never with good hands and good feet at the same time. Using a good bit of smearing and mantling this 10a ptich went in good form, ending with a great juggy layback crack for a few feet. Then I got to lead all three pitches as Glen was feeling extraordinarly lazy, fine with me. The second pitch is completely different as it leads up a crack in a stemming corner for about 30 feet which is capped by a chimney at its top. I knew this was going to be interesting as I had very little chimney experience, in fact Epinephrine the year before was my only chimney experience. The crux is making the tricky move to gain the chimney. After this the chimney isn't that bad as you climb it for about 30 feet up and out of the chimney doing a few face and arete moves afterwards to gain the next belay. The final pitch is a beautiful dead vertical varnished face. The climbing on this pitch was pure 5.10 fun and wasn't over until the very end as the crux is the last 10 feet. This pitch ends on a nice ledge at the base of the 4th pitch corner of Dream of Wild Turkeys. Since it was getting dark by the time Glen reached the belay we quickly rapped off, packed up, downclimbed the headwall in the dark and boulder hopped our way through the wash and back to the car. The approach for Black Velvet is only 45 minutes or so, fairly mellow and short by Red Rocks Standards and we had done it many times before, so all in all it was another fun day that was pretty easy on the body. After making the drive out on the dirt road and heading back to the hotel the four of us gorged ourselves at PF Changs. I was skeptical, but the food was quite good. Off to bed with the alarm set for 3:45, Yikes!
We met for breakfast at 4am. Gotta love Vegas, 24 hour cafes with $3.49 steak and eggs. We made it to the pullout for the trailhead by 5am and were hiking in shortly after. I love the desert when in the darkness. The sillouette of the mountains looming above, with stars everywhere, complete silence, it just so surreal. The first part of the hike isn't too bad, about 2 1/2 miles ever so slightly uphill on a good but very rocky trail. This takes you to the old Oak Creek Campground(no camping allowed) behind the Wilson Pimple at the base of Mount Wilson. From here the approach gets quite a bit more difficult as it heads straight up a loose red sandy hillside, which while not too bad a fairly steep and quite aerobic. As we were most of the way up this hillside the sun made its debut for the day with some beautiful colors on both the scattered clouds and sandstone looming above us. Once the the top of this hillside it would only be another hour of sustained 4th class scrambling up the Resolution Arete Gulley. Having been here before we navigated our way up to the climb without getting lost. I was ready to setoff on the first pitch just before 8 am. We were on time and ready to go to. The plan was to climb in pairs with one 70M rope each. We would stop at about 2:30 regardless of where we were, as we would have to rap the route and then reverse the descent which could be quite dangerous in the dark. While I was confident that we would make it in time, we could not afford to get too far apart as many of the pitches were long and could not be rapped with a single rope without leaving gear. The crux is the second pitch, a wonderful piece of 5.10+ climbing on great varnished rock. Since the first pitch, 5.9+ slopey face was 100 feet and the second pitch was 100 feet I decided to link them. That would let Todd and Peter start climbing as soon as Glen left the ground. It worked out well as Todd stopped to belay atop the first pitch just as Glen reached me and set out to lead the third pitch. The climbing is really fun and goes quite fast after the crux. After the 2nd pitch most of the climbing is 5.8 and 5.9 and the four of us worked well together with no more than two people at a belay at a time other than the nice lunch ledge after pitch 6 where we stopped for a quick snack and the the top of the climb. The entire climb took about 6 hours as I reached the top at 2 pm and the last of us was up right on shedule at 2:30. Rapping proved to be interesting with 4 of us on some cramped or hanging belays, but it went fine and we were back on the ground a little after 4. Unfortunately we still had to hike out and darkness hit before we got through the 4th class section. The last bit of the gulley proved to be quite interesting, but soon enough we were back down to the old Oak Creek campground and hiking out to the cars. The long day found us back at the hotel eating dinner at the Outback Steakhouse, tired and sore, but quite satisfied after a fantastic day in Red Rocks.
The fourth day found everyone pretty beatso we went to the Sandstone Quarry on the loop road and did some sport climbing at the Pier and the Stratocaster Wall. It is not the climbing, but the approaches that beat you up in Red Rocks and we were all feel the tough hiking of the past few days. Peter and Todd were leaving the next morning, while Glen and I were going to climb and take the red eye out the following night. So we decided to check out the new Red Rock Casino. We had dinner at some fancy Italian place that was pretty good and checked out the Casino. It was a pretty large and spralling place, but strangely enough we looked an it did not have any running shows or entertainment. The following morning we all met for breakfast at a pancake house accross from the hotel that turned out to be excellent. I had bacon that was so thick it looked like it was hand cut and looked more like london broil that bacon. After that we said goodbye to Peter and Todd and headed back to Black Velvet Canyon to do Triassic Sands. In no particular rush and with plenty of daylight we took our time making our way to the climb. Triassic Sands is a classic trad 5.10 with a burly crux. Todd who had done the climb before told me that it was 10 or 15 feet of hard climbing and then it was a "cruise". Perhaps Todd forgot that I have no crack technique. Perhaps he also forgot to tell me to bring many 2" and 3" pieces, which I had left plenty of in the car. So armed with the information that it was a cruise after a short crux and thay my Gunks rack was just fine we started the climb. We linked the first two pitches. The first pitch is a fairly easy 5.7 corner that is only about 40' to a ledge. The crux of the climb is right off of this ledge. It is basically a tips crack on steep rock where you have to pull over a bulge to a stance and then over another bulge into the main part of the crack. The crux take lots of gear from blue aliens to gold camalots, but once your pull over that second bulge and you are "home free", you only have another 120' of sustained 5.9 slowly easing to sustained 5.8 climbing. Better yet when you look up all you can see is blue and gold camalots into the sky. Unfortunately by the time that I was about 20' over the crux all that I had left was one blue camalot and a rack of useless smaller gear. Had I been on
Graveyard Shift those green aliens and small nuts would have been great, but instead, I would climb placing the blue camalot over my head and then climb till that was at my feet, reach down, pull the piece and repeat. I did this until I couldn't see any other gear below my feet. There was finally a slight constriction in the rock where I was able to coax a #10 Walnut into place. Another 30 feet of runout climbing and I was finally at the anchor. A combination of 4 previous days of exertion, bad crack technique, lack of gear and taking the pitch a little lightly made for quite the exciting time. We then finished up the climb, rapped off and hiked back to the car. We however could not leave well enough alone. We decided to scout the approach to Jubilant Song another classic climb in the adjacent Windy Canyon for a future trip. The trail led off of the network of dirt roads that we were on(we were not in an SUV, but in one of those great off road vehicles the Dodge Caravan). By the time we had packed all of our gear for the airport and changed clothes night was falling. We headed back the way we came in but soon turned off toward Windy Canyon. The road into Black Velvet is pretty rough and not to forgiving, but it is well traveled and generally always passable. This new road that we were on was another story and required constant stopping and scouting. It was like rafting a river where you would pull out above a rapid to scout the best line. By now it was pitch black and road was rough. We were on a dirt road in a rented minivan miles from any main road or anybody and we were scheduled to fly home later that night. We finally found the small pull out for Windy Canyon(basically two rough parking spots). We continued forward, as on the map the way we were headed led to a paved road. After a few tough spots we came to a wash which looked really bad. After some scouting we went for it and made it down accross the wash, but the mogul field going up the adjacent hill proved to be too much, going up we listed dangerously close to rolling into the wash on our side and wound up stuck spinning our tires halfway up the hill. It looked like smooth sailing after this hill, but there was no way to make it up and getting back down was precarious. We mananged to slowly back down without rolling or getting stuck. We then had to backtrack all the way to the Black Velvet road that we had left a while back, through a complex maze of rough dirt roads in complete darkness. Nothing looked the same as it did on the way in. We started to have serious doubts about getting out. Somehow after about 45 uneasy minutes we made it back to the main road and out. Since Peter dislikes buffets and he had left earlier in the day, there was only one thing left to do. Head to the Rio and gorge ourselves on the buffet so that we would pass out on the plane.
All in all it was another great trip to Red Rocks shared with good friends and I cannot wait for the next adventure there. Already dreaming about what the next sandstone challenge will be, Woman of Mountain Dreams? Dogma? Cloud Tower? only time will tell.

Nice report. The short fall days are always a mixed blessing, in that you don't beat up your body as long but getting off in time can be harder than the climb. I'm with you, I love the desert at night.

- 1995 ferrari motorcycle
1995 Ferrari motorcycle to be auctioned
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Dec 7th, 2008 at 4:39PM
Ferrari doesn't make motorcycles. At least, not officially... but that fact hasn't stopped a number of custom cycle makers from taking matters into their own hands. Perhaps the most famous Maranello-inspired two-wheeler was made by Arlen Ness, but that one's not all that practical in conception. We would imagine a Ferrari motorcycle to be a truly sporting machine, equally as comfortable on the race track as the street, or, more realistically, being shown off in one's garage. Ferrari seems to agree, as the only cycle ever created that bears an official Ferrari chassis number -- SF-01M --... Read More

Basically a very dull shape with a load of ugly add ons! I'm pleased that some manufacturers are finally tiring of the gaping snout look, but could they not all now copy VW?
VW builds boaring cars in terms of design, in my opinion at least.
This design of this Scenic is OK, but it certainly would not be able to compete with the Evoque, but there again the price tag is different. In terms of design the Evoque is certainly a success.
The 2008 and the Captur ar two very good looking cars as well. It will be very interesting to check the reviews soon.

Players continue to praise the Pawn Shop Series for evoking the more eccentric Fender creations of the mid-'60s to mid-'70s while delivering thoroughly modern sound and quality with a wealth of various Fender elements. New for 2013, the Pawn Shop Series introduces yet another pleasingly unconventional assortment of "guitars that never were but should have been," in which new models take the stage and long-vanished classics return in modern form.
With its racing stripe and short scale (30"), the new Pawn Shop™ Mustang® Bass authentically evokes the original "competition" Mustang Bass of the early 1970s. This time, though, you get the huge bass sound of a single humbucking pickup (the original had a single-coil pickup) and several classic Fender finish options.
Other features include an alder body, "C"-shaped maple neck, 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 19 medium jumbo frets, four-ply white pearloid pickguard, two Jazz Bass® control knobs (volume, tone) and a strings-through-body bridge with four adjustable saddles. Available in Three-color Sunburst, Candy Apple Red with stripe and Olympic White with stripe.

Thank the lord this bass came out! I have the Squier Vintage Modified Mustang Bass as well and it made me realize that the mustangs are not only my favorite guitar but my favorite bass! I've been looking for years for a bass that's short scale with a big rip your face off bottom end, and trust me I've just found the bass of my dreams. Between the paint and finishes and hardware and sound, this thing is heavy duty and high quality the absolute most beautiful looking bass I've ever owned. The humbucker is soo loud and bassy that you have to turn down your amp no joke! The tone I've always searched for a massive bottom end and not really much treble. That's exactly what the mustang sounds like. I run this through a fender rumble 350 and you better look the hell out because this setup will steamroll right over you. I'm just another proud owner of a fender product and I don't dare to step away from them.

I was scrolling through the Fender website and came across this beauty. I knew I wanted the white with the blue racing strip. I ordered it through my local music store. As soon as I saw it I was blown away by its stunning classic looks. So vintage, so cool! This bass is an absolute Ten! In every way. It's beautiful. the quality of build is flawless. The playabilty is lightning fast. The tone is thick and growly. This bass is Beauty and the Beast! I highly recommend this bass. It delivers in every way! Thank you Fender!

In the late seventies, I owned an original Mustang bass, which I used for my studies at the Royal Conservatory in the Netherlands. When I moved on in life, with other basses, I gave this one to my younger brother, and regretted it ever since. Now, with this new Pawn Shop series, I couldn't resist the temptation and added the Candy Apple Red to my collection. Not only do I find the excellent quality I remember, but the Humbucker makes a big difference. Playability is still great, thanks to the balanced configuration. The tone controls allows a sufficient scale of sounds for my purpose. This time, there is no way I am going to let this baby go!

I had been looking for a Mustang for quite some time, and the choice between new ( the only new mustang bass being white) and vintage was a saddening set of choices. I followed this release with great hope and can say it fulfilled my dream and then some. First things first, this bass is LOUD!! I like it better than any P bass I've owned or played and find it a serious alternative to my Rick. It took me a while to get used to the 30 inch scale but it has been worth it. I'd also like to say that contrary to the connotations a short scale carries, I am 6'3, have huge hands, and have played bass for over 10 years. This bass is fantastic for the sound I aim for. In a guitar, bass, drum trio the Mustang fills out the sound with a gorgeous mid range growl.

Gütersloh, 01/04/2011
Reinhard Mohn Prize Awarded for First Time
City of Recife, Brazil, is top example of citizen participation
The Brazilian city of Recife (population 1.7 million) is the initial recipient of the €150,000 Reinhard Mohn Prize, which is being awarded for the first time in 2011. The city is being recognized for its exemplary approach to citizen participation, which uses participatory budgeting processes to give the public a say in how local funds are distributed. Each year, more than 100,000 adults and young people use the participatory system to decide on issues relating to education and municipal development. The prize will be officially awarded on June 16, 2011, in Gütersloh, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in attendance.
To choose this year's winner, some 11,600 members of the German public, selected to reflect the makeup of the general population, were asked to vote online for one of seven finalists, who had been selected from an initial list of 123 programs and projects. Each of the original 123 candidates was nominated from around the globe as an outstanding example of deliberative democracy.
Recife's residents now have more than 10 years of experience getting involved through forums and online voting tools, which they can use to suggest improvements and assign priorities in 15 different policymaking areas. As part of the participatory approach, 2,700 elected delegates monitor the related processes, making it possible for residents to share responsibility with city authorities for implementation of the chosen programs.
Residents have decided, for example, to commit significantly larger amounts of funding to poorer sections of the city in order to improve conditions there. Large numbers of young people, moreover, get involved to set budgets for their own schools. Since participatory budgeting was introduced in 2001, some 5,000 projects have been initiated by the public, financed by more than €220 million in public funds.
The Recife model varies significantly from many of the participatory budgeting systems used in Germany. Residents in Recife can decide directly on how a given share of the public budget will be spent, since the city council generally accepts and implements all suggestions made by residents. In addition, the specially elected delegates ensure an ongoing exchange between members of the public and municipal authorities, as well as the successful execution of the chosen programs. By focusing on the needs of disadvantaged residents and providing unimpeded access to public administrators, the city has been successful in integrating underrepresented groups in policymaking processes.
"With its participatory system, the city of Recife shows how policymakers and the public can come together to collaborate more closely," said Dr. Gunter Thielen, chairman and CEO of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, in announcing the winner of the prize. "The system complements the city's representative democracy by allowing citizens to become an immediate part of the decision-making process, in conjunction with city administrators. It's a very good example of how the public can get involved in government, an idea often advocated by Reinhard Mohn."
Successor to the Carl Bertelsmann Prize, the Reinhard Mohn Prize is named for the business leader and philanthropist who died in October 2009 and is meant to commemorate his life's work. The prize is being awarded for the first time in 2011 on the topic of "Vitalizing democracy through participation."

I read recently that Frost DW tanking is Blizz's intent for the frost tree. I don't know much more than that. Frost is definately a strong tanking spec in any language.
I primarily tank as Blood. I love my Blood Spec, but I've been debating about changing up with Frost for a change of scenery. IMO, I feel that Blood is the best for survivability, but that is open for debate, but I'm not here to discuss that.
What I am looking for, is if Frost Dual Wield Tanking is viable. I know Frost Dual Wield is viable and I Definitely wouldn't mind looking into a dps type build once I get my dps items built up, but I'm more looking for that tank spec if possible.
I read recently that Frost DW tanking is Blizz's intent for the frost tree. I don't know much more than that. Frost is definately a strong tanking spec in any language.
Previously, I remember DW Tanking wasn't really viable due to the offset of parry from the mobs. Is this still the case?
To be honest, I haven't tanked on my DK yet, frost, DW or otherwise. Mostly because I'm still leveling it and want to get stuck into the cobalt crafted gear before I do. So sadly, I'm not a lot of help to you there. I imagine you can get defensive 1 handers that will give you some more avoidance than you would from brutal 2 handers death knights usually use.
I'm not sure how parry haste etc would factor in to DW tanking.
Here's what I got for a current Frost Dual Wield Tank build. http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#j0EZ0...uzAo0xh:wRTVM0
I've just recently lvled my dk to 80 and i'm using a dual wield tanking spec - frost.
I'm currently on the progress of getting gear so i can't have an 'endgame' approach. Although, i can say one thing.. i ENJOY it - ALOT! Dual wield tanking is loads of fun, i've had a paladin tank etc in the past but it's just like a rogue tank imo. Maybe the mechanics tell us that it's not as viable as other tanking specs with 2h's but like anything else, if you stick with it - you'll get used to it and you'll in turn, become good with it!
Give it a go, the gems aren't dramatically different that you use, so i mean a change would maybe cost you about 1-2k max from DW to 2H.. imo
Hope this helped confidence
To my knowledge the parry haste is very prevalent in say ToC, but in ICC most bosses don't do it. (quick google reading would say that only Deathwhisper and Sindragosa have parry haste - so don't DW tank them)

Nu Naturals, clear stevia
Posted by Reviewer3255672 on May 09, 2008
Purchased at iHerb
I found this absolutely the best price-internet or not. I was thrilled to find it. this is a good tasting stevia. the only problem I found was that it occasionally leaked in my purse--not a lot but enough to have sweet fingers.

Stevia excellent to use as a sweetener in this form. Highly recommendable.
NuNaturals Clear Stevia
Posted by Reviewer1468441 on Jan 28, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
I think this is a good product when used sparingly. One time I added a bit too much to my tea, and it ended up tasting like Vodka. It doesn't seem to have an aftertaste when you use the recommended amount, 5-10 drops. But when it is not sweet enough for you and you add a bit more the taste turns out to be somewhat bitter and alcohol-like. I am definetely trying the alcohol-free version of stevia by NuNaturals next time I'm buying, but overall this is pretty good in tea and cocoa and definetely more bearable than some other stevia products I've tried.
Best tasting Stevia
Posted by Reviewer1349409 on Dec 12, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
I've used stevia for a couple of years but always had to mix it with Splenda to cut the bitterness. When I recently gave up artificial sweeteners, I mixed stevia with agave syrup or honey but the calories were adding up. I looked around for another stevia brand and tried this one in the packets. I can use them alone and the sweet taste is delicious with no bitterness. The liquid is pure stevia while the packets contain erythritol so the packets have a slight edge on good taste. But I use and like them both. Great taste, no bitterness. I deducted a star for price.
Better than most
Posted by Reviewer2268666 on Aug 10, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
This is the best tasting of the several types of liquid stevia that I have used to sweeten my tea. The dispenser works is easy to use.

Attaching a Wig to Your Doll
By: CR's Crafts
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Learn how to attach a wig to your doll. You can create a beautiful hairpiece just for her. Once you make one you can make as many as you want for all your dolls in all different colors and lengths.
How to Measure:
How to Attach a Wig:
Turn the wig inside out. Glue center of wig cap to top of head & hold in place. Glue around the wig cap a section at a time, slowly rolling the wig down around the head. Use fingertips to shift the wig into place and press it slightly. Set aside and let dry.
You can use tacky glue or a hot glue gun. Do not use superglue--it will crack & ruin the wig cap.
How to Set a Pate:
Apply a thin continuous line of glue around the "lip" of the opening.
Place the pate on top of the glue and press it down gently. Wipe off excess and allow to dry completely.
Warning: Buckram pates will fall when wet or too much glue is applied. If dented, the pate will not regain its shape.

These homeowners had an odd shaped room, one that wasn't built to be a dedicated theater like a basement ... but an old entertainment system that really needed an upgrade.
After finding custom electronics pro Union Place, of Excelsior, Minn., they turned it into a gem of a theater, complete with constant image height screen setup for really immersing in CinemaScope aspect ratio films.
"The homeowner was interested in the latest technology – constant height cinema. He had a large family and wanted to be able to seat eight at a minimum," says Union Place's Brian Duggan. "The challenge was to create a room that functioned as a cohesive theater, without giving up space and in needed to blend with the other rooms of the home it was open to."
Because it wasn't a dedicated room closed off to the rest of the house, Union Place also had to control the lighting from both the interior spaces and the exterior window.
"We found the best orientation that we liked and found inspiration from a public indoor theater in the area," Duggan says. "We decided that we would have a large wood cornice as the defining proscenium feature and then use a smaller wood cornice around the perimeter of the room to unify the space."
The installers incorporated a Marantz projector with a Panamorph lens system, and built a projector housing to conceal the large projector and screen apparatus. With a couple rows of seating in there and little floor space, there wasn't much room left over for speakers, so an SmX acoustically transparent screen was the ideal solution—hiding the There wasn't much space left in the room space for speakers, hiding the Triad left/center/right speakers, while surrounds are in the ceiling.

If you want to get away from it all, a quirky journey to Dursey Island is definitely the place to head…
Lying beyond a tumultuous sound at the tip of the Beara Peninsula, you'll find Dursey Island. The most westerly of Cork's inhabited islands, Dursey is dotted with historic husks: the ruins of a church said to have been founded by monks from Skellig Michael, a Napoleonic-era old signal tower, a castle built by O'Sullivan Beara. To get there, the Dursey Island Cable Car is your means of transport…
Ah yes, the cable car... Strange as it seems, this hardworking contraption is the only one of its kind in Ireland. Hop on board the steel capsule at Ballaghboy, feel the click of the wooden door as it closes, sit back as you're hauled 250m across the Atlantic Ocean (look out for dolphins in the blue below).
Dursey Island's cable car spares islanders the hazardous journey across the sound, and practicality oozes from its every pore. It carries tourists, islanders and supplies, dogs and sheep. Wisps of hay stick out of the seat. It's like a Coney Island fairground ride ending at a fantasy Irish landscape – though if time or inclination are limited, there are stunning views from the Beara Peninsula too. Either way, it will be etched in your memory forever.
Visitors can trace a 9km looped walk, taking in Atlantic vistas, ragged cliffs and ancient patchworks of ditches and dry-stone walls. Stark, desolate and small, you won't find honking horns or bustling commuters here. Dursey's soundtrack is composed of waves and wind and the call of teeming seabirds. It's a complete and utter escape. The only deadlines belong to the cable car returning you to the mainland with the gentle sting of salt on your lips.
Geographical coordinates:Latitude 51.6000; longitude 10.2000
(note, if you use your car's GPS to go directly to this point, you may not always remain on the Wild Atlantic Way route.)

Movement 1: Allegro molto moderato
Movement 1: Cadenza
Movement 2: Adagio
Movement 3: Allegro moderato molto e marcato
Despite this enthusiastic reception, Grieg actually had some difficulty in persuading a publisher to accept the concerto—surely one of the ironies of business history. In fact, the piece was ushered into print only in 1872. It was, therefore, with merely the manuscript in his hand that Grieg visited Liszt in Rome in 1870 in order to get the great man's blessing for his creative efforts. Liszt, surrounded by a coterie of admiring female acolytes, sight-read the piece with expert aplomb. He was gratifyingly captivated by the national elements in the work, and especially the modal inflections of the grand tune at the close. According to Grieg himself: 'He stretched out his arm commandingly like an emperor and shouted "G, G! Not G sharp! Bravo!".' Taking farewell of his delighted younger colleague, he added the unforgettable words: 'You carry on, my friend. You have the right stuff in you. And don't ever let them frighten you!'
It is simple to see what attracted Liszt and Rubinstein in what was soon to become the most popular of all concertos. There is, to be sure, little that is original about the structure of the work—a more or less 'sonata-form-made-easy' Allegro molto moderato first movement, a hymn-like Adagio second movement (shades of Beethoven's Emperor here), and an acerbically bouncy Allegro moderato molto e marcato finale, clearly influenced by the vigorous Halling folk-dance (in Grieg's day a fixture at Norwegian weddings). But what really scores is the concerto's magnificently memorable melodic invention—still irresistible even after 140 years of over-exposure—and the quasi-herbal intensity of its harmonization.
The latter has often-overlooked links to Mendelssohn's so-called 'Ossianic manner': not surprisingly, perhaps, as both composers were influenced by Nordic national music. Indeed, the first subject tune of Grieg's opening movement has a very similar harmonic and melodic outline to the Allegro theme of the first movement of Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony, just as the famous 'Hall of the Mountain King' from Peer Gynt exactly follows a harmonic scheme from the Hebrides Overture (it is no coincidence that the Grieg pieces are also in the same keys as the Mendelssohn). Another unmistakeable allusion is to Schumann's piano concerto. Grieg obviously adapted its opening flourish to begin his own work—possibly a memory of student days in Leipzig, when he heard Clara Schumann herself play her husband's masterpiece.
But if the Grieg concerto looks back to Schumann and Mendelssohn, it also looks forward to Ignacy Paderewski, who might almost have had the Norwegian composer's score wide open on his desk when he wrote his own A minor piano concerto in 1888. Grieg's wonderful work had swiftly become a template for the 'national' concerto style. Now, Paderewski's piece is an impressive achievement—so why is it so little played in comparison to its forebear? The answer is simple: Grieg, like the devil, has all the best tunes.

One of three new programs in a 3-part series which takes a fresh look at UFO lore. In this episode, legends from China tell of 716 mysterious stone discs, known as ''The Dropa Stones''. Some believe the stones hold secrets about ancient contact with extraterrestrials.
Discovered in a cave in 1938, each 12" disc contains a double spiral of tiny hieroglyphs that are said to contain the historical record of an alien race called the Dropa that crash-landed in an isolated region of China 12,000 years ago. The story of the Dropa Stones is an amazing tale filled with mystery, deceit, and conspiracy, and today, skeptics and true believers wage an ongoing battle over what they are, what they mean, and if they even exist at all. Regardless, the Dropa Stones continue to consume the imaginations of scientists, journalists, historians, UFO buffs, and stargazers in general.

Want to do good in your community and get a regular furry-friend fix? Become a volunteer at the Dumb Friends League!
Whether you'd like to help pets or people, work with cameras or computers, or assist our veterinarians or educators—we have a way for you to make a difference in the lives of homeless pets and horses. Compassionate, dedicated volunteers are needed in all areas of our shelters. And with more than 70 volunteer positions, you're sure to find something that suits your talents, interests and schedule.
When you volunteer at the Dumb Friends League, you're joining a family of volunteers and staff committed to providing love and support for the homeless pets and equines in our care. As a volunteer, you'll be rewarded for your efforts through recognition events and awards—and best of all, you'll be helping homeless animals receive the loving care and second chances for happiness they deserve.
Together, we can end animal homelessness and suffering!
For more information, please call (303) 751-5772, Ext. 7311.
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old (some positions require individuals to be at least 18 years of age) and be able to make a commitment of approximately three hours per week for six months at our shelters in Denver or Castle Rock, or three hours a week for three months at our Harmony Equine Center in Franktown.
- Complete the application - If your availability and interests coincide with available volunteer positions, we'll contact you to schedule you for a volunteer orientation.
- Attend orientation - Each volunteer attends a two-and-a-half-hour orientation where we provide an overview of our services, philosophies, an introduction to our volunteer program and a tour of the shelter.
- Interview - Prospective volunteers interview one-on-one with a Dumb Friends League representative to discuss personal goals and determine the most suitable volunteer assignment.
- Attend training class - To learn about safety procedures, pet adoptions, animal behavior and the League's many programs, volunteers also participate in a hands-on training class.
Volunteer opportunities
With more than 70 volunteer positions, we have opportunities for everyone who wants to help the animals. Here are just a few:
- Work with patrons and pets as an adoption counselor
- Work with cats, dogs and small mammals in grooming, animal care, health care and surgery care
- Work with horses and other equines, mucking stalls and providing enrichment
- Are you a licensed veterinarian? Become a volunteer veterinarian on one of our mobile spay/neuter units
- Become a Junior Volunteer Club mentor, mentoring youths age 12-15
- Assist in writing biographies and taking photos of the homeless pets available for adoption
- Provide administrative support in any of our departments, including human resources, volunteer services, accounting, development, communications, customer care, behavior and health care
- Fulfill community service requirements
Are you interested in fostering a pet in your home? Learn more about fostering.
Under 16? Become a Junior Volunteer!
The Junior Volunteer Club introduces young people to the benefits of volunteering in an animal shelter. Junior volunteers must be between ages 12 and 15, dependable and responsible, have good communication skills, be willing to take on a variety of tasks and have an enthusiasm for working with people and animals.
Junior volunteers will work alongside adult volunteers for two hours each month, cleaning animal enclosures, socializing and working with dogs, cats and small mammals, and learning about animal welfare issues.
They will meet one Saturday each month for two hours at the Quebec Street shelter. There is a $100 fee to join, which is due at the time of registration. The fee covers a six-month membership in the club.
For more information on our Junior Volunteer Club, please email us at email@example.com
Community service opportunities
The Community Service program is for volunteers looking for short-term opportunities in the metro Denver area. This can be for court-ordered community service, to complete volunteer hours required for high school or college, and for people who want to help but cannot make the six- month, three-hours-per-week, full-time volunteer commitment. We offer community services opportunities seven days a week in either four or eight-hour shifts.
Please note that to perform community service for school, you must be at least 16 years old. To perform court-ordered community service, you must not have been charged with violent, drug-related, theft or felony crimes.
Volunteer at Furry Scurry or Wag 'n Trail
Keep our dog-walking events working smoothly and enjoy a day out with the pooches and people who love them. See our events calendar for more information about the Furry Scurry in Denver and Wag 'n Trail in Douglas County, and sign up on each event's website when it becomes available.

Here is a quick tip to my analytics friends, just to put things into perspective.
Most publishers track visitors as unique visitors. The problem is that it if you run a subscription-based site, it tells you nothing about your subscribers. So on my site, I measure unique subscribers.
And here is what I found (see the picture below):
On average, only between 30-40% of my subscribers see an article. And of those, only 60-70% actually read it. Meaning, only 22% read my articles.
That's just scary, but there is nothing really surprising about it. We can't expect all our subscribers to see every single article, nor can we expect that everyone reads everything they see.
(Especially not with Baekdal Plus where the average article is 20-25 pages long).
And then you have to ask, how many subscribers share an article? In my case, that number is about 15%. And then, how many non-subscribers does that attract? Which in my case in my case averages about 2000% (although it varies greatly depending the number of followers for that subscriber. Some only generate 300%, while others generate 100,000%.)
Think about that for a moment. Sharing done by only 15% of the 35% of my subscribers, drives 4x more traffic than the total number of subscribers who saw the article. This is why sharing is vital!
So why is this important you ask? Well, apart from understanding the behavior of your subscribers, this is very often the cause of your churn rate ... i.e. the rate of those who don't renew their subscription.
If only 35% of your subscriber ever see the article, the next time the remaining 65% have to renew their subscription, some might simply decide not to. And that's not good.
Of course, this is per article, so it's bit more complicated than that. You have look at it across articles as well to identify those that you have lost.
The point is that if you only look at unique visitors, you simple don't know what is actually going on. You will never know how important sharing is. And you never be able to identify those who have simply forgotten that you even exists.
Also consider how massively different this is from advertising based analytics. If your site is monetized by advertising, the quantity of traffic is the most important element. Meaning that for advertising-based analytics, the blue bars are more important than the green bars. But for subscription based analytics, the greens bar is what causes the blue bars.
And here is something even more profound to think about: If I could change the 35% (subscribers who see an article) to 50% ... and increase the sharing rate from 15% to 25%, I would double the overall traffic.
Of course, doing that is much easier said than done!

text: Quite possibly our favorite-ever album by the Impressions! The record is a key transitional one – and it has them opening up the politics that were often hidden by spiritual metaphors on earlier ABC albums, into a righteous soul groove that hints a lot at the overblown direction Curtis Mayfield would take in the 70s, yet which still retains all the tightness of the group's earlier work. Nearly every single cut's a classic – and the group outdid themselves vocally, especially Curtis, who always makes our heart break on this one! Donny Hathaway and Johnny Pate handled the arrangements, and tracks include "Choice Of Colors", "The Girl I Find", "Mighty Mighty (Spade & Whitey)", "Soulful Love", and "Seven Years". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Simona de Silvestro had the opportunity this week to tour Entergy's Grand Gulf nuclear energy plant in Port Gibson, Miss., to learn more about nuclear power as a source of carbon-free electricity and the company that is sponsoring the No. 78 Nuclear Clean Air Energy car for HVM Racing in the IZOD IndyCar Series.
"People are amazed at the complexity and safety protections of the redundant, operational and safety systems that are built into a nuclear plant," Browning said. "Simona had great questions and was quick to tell me that her home country of Switzerland gets 40 percent of its electricity from nuclear energy."
The HVM Racing group, which also included team owner Keith Wiggins, received an introductory education program about nuclear energy.
"I didn't realize that the volume of greenhouse gas emissions prevented at the 104 nuclear energy plants in the U.S. is equivalent to taking nearly all passenger cars off America's roadways. That was an eye-opening statistic," Wiggins said.
Following the tour, de Silvestro signed autographs for employees at the plant.
"I was so impressed with the amount of security that we went through and the enormity of the electricity produced 24-7 without interruption," said de Silvestro, who returns to the track Feb. 28 for testing on the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway oval. "It didn't take long to see how well-managed the plant is by really impressive engineers and other nuclear professionals.
"I really am lucky to get inside and see a nuclear facility making electricity. That is something that most people don't get to do. But I think that if they did, people would understand more about the process and appreciate getting clean electricity to use any hour of the day. We definitely need to have more clean nuclear electricity in the U.S."
