Iowa Lakeside Laboratory is run cooperatively by the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory Consortium whose members include Drake University, Iowa State University, the University of Northern Iowa, and the University of Iowa. Lakeside courses can be taken for credit through all Consortium members. Students should check with their advisers to determine whether Lakeside courses can be used to satisfy major or minor requirements or college or university general education requirements.
The Laboratory was established in 1909 for the conservation and study of the rich flora and fauna of northwest Iowa, especially those of the Iowa Great Lakes region with its numerous lakes, wetlands, and prairies. Its campus is located on approximately 140 acres of restored prairie, wetland, and gallery forest along the west shore of West Okoboji Lake. Lakeside's mission is to provide undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to get hands-on experience working with a variety of natural and human environments through its field-oriented summer courses and to provide research facilities and support for graduate students and faculty working on research projects in northwestern Iowa. Each summer, Iowa Lakeside Laboratory offers students a unique educational experience: small, full-immersion, field-oriented courses in the natural sciences (archaeology, ecology, environmental science, hydrology, evolution, geology, soils, taxonomy). All courses meet all day from Monday through Friday. The majority of courses run for 4 weeks. Enrollments in most courses are limited to 8 to 10 students. Courses are taught at the undergraduate (sophomore and junior) and the senior/graduate level. Students obtain one credit for each week (40 hours) in class. One and two week courses are also available, including courses designed especially for teachers. Weather permitting, students normally spend at least part of each day doing field work, either as part of their class work or working on individual or group projects. Because some courses are offered intermittently, the current Iowa Lakeside Laboratory summer brochure or the Lakeside Lab Website ( www.lakesidelab.org ) should be consulted for the list of courses being offered in a given summer session. The Lakeside Lab Website ( www.lakesidelab.org ) also contains additional information about the Laboratory and about each course being offered.
Research projects by undergraduates, graduate students and faculty can be done either on the campus or at many nearby natural areas. Undergraduate and graduate students are strongly encouraged to do independent projects at Lakeside and graduate students are welcome to use it as a base for their thesis and dissertation research. Laboratory space and other facilities are available for long-term or short-term research projects.
Teaching and research facilities include eight laboratory buildings, a library, and a lecture hall. Living accommodations include cottages, motel-style units, and a large mess hall. All students are encouraged to stay at Lakeside while they are taking courses to take full advantage of its educational, professional, and social life.
Iowa Lakeside Laboratory Scholarships are available to both undergraduates and graduate students. All scholarships cover room and board. Information about how to apply for Iowa Lakeside Laboratory Scholarships is included on the Website ( www.lakesidelab.org ). Students should also consult the Student Financial Aid Office for other scholarship, work study, and loan programs for which they are eligible.
Students can only enroll in Iowa Lakeside Lab courses by submitting an Iowa Lakeside Lab Registration and Scholarship form and Housing form to the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory Administrative Office. These forms are found on the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory Website: ( www.lakesidelab.org ) where they can be submitted online or downloaded. For further information, contact

Photo of the Week: Why Not Take a Chance???
I feel like we need more comics on this site. So folks, if you ever have an awesome comic, please feel free to send it in to us! I came across this one a few weeks ago and stored it for a day like this. If anyone knows who the creator of it is, we'd love to give credit. It was actually sent to us by a reader and we never got an artist's name.
While this scenario is highly unlikely, it's absolutely awesome how this thing turns out.

text: All the think-tanks and publications funded by wealthy members of the Establishment oppose Ron's Austro-libertarian-populist message and style. That's a matter of duh-analysis, of course, so one can hardly be shocked that the Heritage Foundation has come out in opposition to Ron's bill—now an amendment with Alan Grayson—to audit the Fed. But here is a typical Beltway problem: virtually all of Heritage's grassroots donors back Ron, and have been writing in about it. So rather than simply oppose Paul-Grayson, the org issues a last-minute scheme that only the Fed, Wall Street, and the banksters could love. What, us oppose transparency? Certainly not. Here is our sabotage-Ron Paul plan to cover defecting Republicans and ourselves. It's also helpful for Establishment Dems: Why, even the Heritage Foundation… (Thanks to Norm)9:18 am on November 23, 2009 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

Summary: ''Euripides' tragedies proved highly controversial even in his own lifetime, presenting his audience with unexpected twists of plot and violently extreme emotions; for many of today's readers and spectators, he seems almost uncannily modern in his insights.'' ''Euripides was the key figure in transforming the familiar figures of Greek mythology from awe-inspiring but remote heroes into recognizable, fallible human beings. His characters, all superbly eloquent, draw on fierce contempo ...show morerary debates about the nature of justice, politics and religion. His women are perhaps the most sympathetically and powerfully presented in ancient literature.'' ''Alcestis, the dramatist's first surviving work, is less harrowing than the others, almost a tragicomedy. The Children of Heracles examines the conflict between might and right, while Hippolytus and Medea, two of his greatest plays, reveal his profound understanding of destructive passion. This new translation into dignified English prose makes one of the greatest of Greek writers accessible once again to a wide public.''--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Suffolk Transportation in Bay Shore, N.Y., is partnering with Child Check-Mate and Zonar to allow service managers to monitor in real time if sleeping children are left alone on school buses at the end of routes.
"We invest heavily in recruitment and training, and we have an excellent staff of professional drivers as a result. But we're all human, and even the most conscientious drivers make mistakes. So, this investment in technology is just another way we're helping to mitigate human error," said Tom Smith, drector of the School Bus Division at Suffolk Transportation Service.
The new system was commissioned by Suffolk Transportation to help safeguard the tens of thousands of student riders the company provides service to each day. If a driver completes the route but fails to detect children still onboard, Child Check-Mate's "Double Check" feature will activate once the child awakes and begins to move about the bus. It will turn on the interior lights of the vehicle, even if the bus is turned off. It will also speak to the child and will activate an alert from Zonar to the transportation department.
"We are very pleased that companies are making the investment in time and dollars to improve the safety and reliability of our student transportation," said Jacqueline Wilson, president of the Suffolk Region PTA and the local Bus Safety Advisory Board, both of which worked with Suffolk Transportation and the Lindenhurst Union Free School District on developing the custom solution. "Nothing is more important than the safety of our kids."
Suffolk Transportation said the custom solution not only meets the company's requirements but also addresses the needs of the stakeholders.
"The technology has evolved in a way that will enhance bus safety, and we as a district recognize that by utilizing this technology, we are significantly improving the overall welfare of our students," added Jacqueline A. Scrio, assistant superintendent for business and non-instructional personnel at Lindenhurst Union.

Cleveland's key adjustments in Game Three
Doc Rivers downplayed the Cleveland Cavaliers' defensive adjustments in Game Two. "We'll live with the Anthony Parker matchup on Rondo like we did in Game Two," he said, "and we're fine with that."
But it wasn't a personnel change that was the difference in the Cavs' strategy from Game Two to Game Three — it was a change of attitude and a change of strategy.
First, Parker suggested that he apply more full-court pressure on Rondo.
"Obviously, he was kind of picking us apart offensively, and it was something that [Parker] suggested," said Cavaliers coach Mike Brown. "He said, 'I am going to pick him up, work the ball some and see what happens.' I said, 'Great.'"
While Parker defending Rondo in the open court seems to be counter-intuitive (Rondo should be able to blow by him at will), it helped set the tone. From the jump, the Cavaliers were more aggressive than the Celtics on both ends of the floor. I don't want to give Parker's decision to defend Rondo full-court all the credit, but it helped the Cavs establish an attacking mindset.
Not that Parker's pressure was the most important adjustment — that would be the Cavs' decision to limit help off Boston's shooters. By successfully trying to make Rondo a shooter, the Cavs limited the best aspect of Rondo's game, his court vision. Rondo wound up scoring 18 points to go along with 8 assists, but his impact was silent compared to his Game Two masterpiece. He took 17 shots to score those 18 points and, while Cleveland was busy building a 19-point lead at the end of the first quarter, Rondo missed six of his first nine shots.
As these playoffs have illustrated, the Celtics go as Rondo goes. In Game Three, with a suddenly limited Rondo forced to shoulder the scoring load rather than being a distributor, the Celtics sank. Even when he was scoring, nothing came easy for Rondo. Cleveland played him about as well as a team can. Now the ball's in Boston's court:
How will they attack Cleveland's new strategy in Game Four?

Diego Rivera's grandfather is hoping he will gain more independence during his week away at summer camp, made possible by the Register Campership Fund.
2012 Register Campership Fund
100 percent of campaign donations send children of low-income families to camp. The donations are distributed to the following agencies:
To contribute go to ocregister.com/campership.
Diego Ruiz is an energetic kid.
If he's not out learning tricks on his bicycle, running around the playground or playing baseball at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Laguna Beach, he's in the gym playing basketball. The only thing that calms this 10-year-old is art.
Diego has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He's been doing better in the past couple of years, since he's been coming to the Boys & Girls Clubs, said grandfather Gary Richards, 67.
"He's found a place in the art room," said branch director Elena Mendoza. "He just wants to be part of something."
Diego visits the club with siblings Leilani, 12, Rico, 7, Sean, 5, and Bella, 2. The five children are being raised by their grandparents in Laguna Beach.
This summer, Diego plans to visit Pathfinder Ranch Camp in Mountain Center near Lake Hemet. He was wary of the idea at first and didn't want to be away from home so long. But he agreed after his grandfather promised to be a phone call away.
Diego will attend camp with help from the Register Campership Fund, which raises money to provide Orange County youth a chance to experience the outdoors.
Richards hopes going to summer camp will give Diego a sense of independence and help his self esteem. Diego, who is of Choctaw heritage, has visited Native American land overnight with his family, but hasn't been away from his family.
"I would like Diego to experience more things in life like camp so he thinks in his own mind he can do things by himself," Richards said. "He worries a lot."
Diego keeps busy after school. He loves playing basketball and baseball with his friends. He's a risk-taker at the skate park on weekends, zooming around the ramps on his bicycle. He can nearly do a tail whip, flipping the frame of his bicycle around while in mid-air.
"I'm crazy on a bike," Diego says. "I can stay on one wheel up to 20 seconds."
He's a huge fan of swimming, too. Many of his art projects share a water theme – he's drawn dolphins and sharks, the starfish Patrick from "SpongeBob SquarePants" and even created his own miniature pool.
One day, he wants to ride a bull and buy a go kart.
"It's a lot safer than a motorcycle," he says, smiling.
Diego's favorite subject in school is writing, but there isn't a subject he doesn't enjoy in his fourth grade class at Wood Canyon Elementary.
After school, he and Rico play with their remote controlled cars at home, driving the cars into one another. He makes Rico laugh when he holds his car back, burning the rubber tires. Recently he helped his grandfather rebuild a 1977 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, with Texas horns attached to the front. He practices violin with his sister Leilani and has a guitar he might learn to play. But he doesn't want to be a rock star.
When Diego grows up, he wants to be a famous bike rider, like professional BMX rider Mike Spinner.

Another country has joined the ranks of those which have balked at paying the European Union for carbon credits for airline flights which cross European airspace.
India becomes the latest government to say its airlines will not participate in the carbon trading scheme. India's Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said in a speech to that country's Parliament that airlines would simply refuse to hand over emissions data to the EU, so the carbon tax is a non-issue,according to the French news service AFP.
"Though the European Union has directed Indian carriers to submit emission details of their aircraft by March 31, 2012, no Indian carrier is submitting them in view of the position of the government," he said.
India's move is similar to one made last month by China. Refual to participate in the plan was one of several strategies to come out of a meeting of several nations opposed to the plan held last month in Moscow. The so-called Moscow declaration also allows governments to take other measures against the EU tax, such as imposing their own taxes on airlines flagged in EU countries.
The Emissions Trading System (ETS) is also being cited in China's decision to suspend purchase of Airbus airliners worth some $14 billion to the planemaker. Some analysts say that the ETS is leading to a possible trade war.

3 Experts Explain How Brands Can Avoid a Sochi Games #PRFail
Lots of brands obviously want to promote during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. But they also want to avoid what happened to Coke and McDonald's, which got a lot of bad press after gay-rights activists criticized their campaigns and hijacked the #CheerstoSochi hashtag in protest of Russia's new anti-gay laws.
AT&T, on the other hand, just made news for becoming the first major company to actively speak out against those same laws and pressure other brands to do the same.
So how can brands create Olympics campaigns without running into the troubles encountered by Coke and McD's? We talked to three PR and social media experts to get their opinions.

Although Red Bull team owner Dietrich Mateschitz has hailed Daniel Ricciardo's "excellent" test, he has refused to rule out Jean-Eric Vergne.
The battle to replace Mark Webber at Red Bull Racing next season is heating up as time is running out for the candidates to impress.
Toro Rosso's Ricciardo has emerged as the early favourite after being called upon to test for Red Bull during the recent Young Driver Test.
However, the Aussie is by no means the only driver in the frame.
His team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne is also in the running while team boss Christian Horner has expressed his desire to sign Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen.
For now, though, Mateschitz appears to be leaning towards promoting one of the Toro Rosso youngsters.
"There is no decision yet, and it is still under discussion within the team," Mateschitz told Autosport. "It will be announced after Budapest.
"But Ricciardo did an excellent job at Silverstone, and [Jean-Eric] Vergne was very good."

BLACKMORE, Sir Richard, court physician and poet: b. about 1650; d. 1729. He was educated at Westminster School and Saint Edmund Hall, Oxford; first took up teaching, but after graduating in medicine at Padua settled in London as a physician, holding appointments in the court of King William and Queen Anne. He had a gift for writing epics, all lengthy and written on the most exalted themes. He published 'Prince Arthur' (1695) and six other lengthy poems before 1723. His 'Creation' received high praise from such competent contemporary critics as Addison, Johnson and John Dennis, but the cooler judgment of posterity has pronounced all alike to be uniformly dull, heavy and tedious.

Heidi mysteriously liked this one, but the rest of the judges absolutely destroyed it. Even the model had to turn away and laugh. What the hell was Alexandria thinking? Who wants webbed legs at the gym? That extra flap of fabric would be great for collecting crotch sweat, but that's about it. Michael really went for it: "If you want guys to leave you alone at the gym, wear that look"; "You pooped in your pants!" Ouch!
Ken's model looked absolutely miserable wearing this purple Grimace costume. It actually wasn't particularly ugly, but there was zero fashion element to it.
Oh no. The model looked like a toddler showing off her sweats combo. The judges all railed on the construction -- Karen may have been better off with the Martian sports bra. Michael supplied a few more gems: "She looks like she's going to a buffet on a cruise... She could put cookies in her pockets." Can buffet pants be a thing? They'd be a sensation!

Navy fires test missiles from RC boats, pirates put on notice
Who says military drones only belong in the air? The Navy has gotten into the game, test firing missiles from a 36-foot inflatable hulled, remote-controlled boat. Six anti-armor missiles successfully struck floating targets over two miles away, fired by personnel onshore at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station.
While the Navy is no stranger to unmanned vessels used for such things as spying and mine clearance, this marks the first time that a robotic surface vessel has been armed for combat purposes. It fulfills a goal the Navy had outlined in 2007.
Clearly they means business. The boat, which has been in development the past few years at a Navy base in Newport, Rhode Island has been outfit with a dual pod Spike missile launcher and Mk-49 mounting system from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. Completely automated, the Navy calls the new weapons system a "Precision Engagement Module."
The remote controlled boat is perfect for jobs that bigger Naval vessels like frigates or destroyers couldn't do. The Precision Engagement Module could be a defensive weapon protecting coastlines and harbors from fast attack vessels. Or, as Mark Moses, the Navy's program manager for the armed drone boat project told Wired's Danger Room:
"… it is probably most effective when targets try and hide among commercial vessels — for example, congested waterways."
This could help combat threats from Somali pirates to the speedy gunships patrolling in Iranian waters and the Middle East. Conceivably the Precision Engagement Module could also protect against heavily armed suicide vessels such as the one that hit the U.S.S. Cole in October, 2000 when the Navy's ship was refueling at a Yemeni port.
With the Precision Engagement Module, this kind of armed combat could take place while the sailors controlling it are out of harms way in the same way armed airborne drones have protected pilots.
The Module was tested over three days using a long-range variant of the Spike 30-pound missile. In the video shown below there are six test firings — all successful though the camera angle makes it difficult to see.
The advanced weapon is still in development and the Navy hasn't confirmed whether it will order any of these killer robot boats for its fleet just yet. However, we now live in a world where unconventional attacks occur with unconventional weapons and tactics, and it is increasingly taking place on the world's waters.
Just what the plans are for the Module are, no one knows but just knowing that it could be on the waterways at any time could be the mental smackdown those wily pirates need to stop their hijinks.

Penny Dreadful Season 1 Report Card: Grade It!by Michelle Carlbert at . Updated at . Comments
Some episodes of Penny Dreadful Season 1 were slower than others, but once the show found its footing, the story picked up its pace and delivered many surprises.
Now that the first season is over, it's time to take a look back and see what the best and worst moments were and which characters were the most intriguing. Read on to find out how your favorites fared.
Best Character: Hands down, the best character of Season 1 was Eva Green (Vanessa Ives). In Penny Dreadful Season 1 Episode 1 she was mostly in the background, overshadowed by Victor and his monster. But soon Eva became the center of the series as more secrets were learned about her and Sir Malcolm's past and the unusual abilities that she possessed. By the end of the season, she became the character that the entire second season will be based upon, as we all wait to find out if she will go through with the exorcism.
Worst Character: I'm going to have to go with Caliban on this, though perhaps not for reasons that most may expect. When we were first introduced to Victor's "son," he was nothing but a monster that killed Victor's latest creation. Then we learned more of his story and my heart felt for him, but that would change again as more of his viciousness was revealed. In the end, I didn't know what to think about Caliban -- should I hate him or love him? That kind of confusion made him my least favorite character.
Most Mysterious Character: While we were learning secrets about every character throughout the first season, it seemed like we barely learned anything about Ethan Chandler. We all had our opinions on whom or what he could be, but we didn't even find out for sure that he was a werewolf until Penny Dreadful Season 1 Episode 8. But beyond knowing what kind of creature he is, there are still many questions to be answered about him in Season 2.
Most Underused Character: Dorian Gray came into the series with probably the most intriguing story, if you judged by literary background alone. He's a man who obtains his unending youth by having a painting that carries an image of all the terribly depraved things he does. The moment I read he would be included in the series, I was excited to see his story but sadly he was only used as temptation for both Eva and Ethan. I can only hope they flesh out his character in Season 2.
Best Episode: It's not easy to pick the best episode as there were so many that I loved, but I will have to go with Penny Dreadful Season 1 Episode 7. When Eva is possessed by The Master for weeks on end, she is taken care of by her new surrogate family. We got to see just how incredibly strong she was, but also how much all of these people now need each other. Part of the appeal of the first season was observing this group of unusual people become a family and I felt that was especially true in this episode.
Slowest Episode: Though it did give us a lot of background about Eva, Sir Malcolm and Mina, Penny Dreadful Season 1 Episode 5 didn't move the story along much. By the end of it, we were still in the same place we have been when it began. Being nothing but additional backstory for three characters, it definitely moved the slowest of any episode in the first season.
Best Kiss: Okay, so maybe this isn't the most romantic show and truly there were only a couple kisses in the entire first season. But how can one forget the moment that Ethan could no longer control the attraction he felt toward Dorian and drew him into a fierce embrace. The fact that we had no idea it was coming (at least I didn't) until moments before it happened made it that much more exciting to watch.
Hopes for Season 2: Though it was nice to have a story slowly enfold in the first season, a little more story momentum in Season 2 would be appreciated. Also, as I said above, I'm hoping that they flesh out Dorian's character. I also hope that we meet some new characters from horror literature and, finally, I hope that Eva chooses to be exorcised of her demons -- thought I don't know if I actually want it to work. I think I want to see what happens when she chooses to go through with it, but I also don't want her to lose her unique abilities.
Overall Grade: A-
YOUR turn, TV Fanatics. How would you grade Penny Dreadful Season 1?
The Ethan/Dorian kiss was fierce, masculine and very intense - as well as completely unexpected. Dorian is, of course, supposed to be attractive to everybody (wasn't he an Oscar Wilde creation, and thus the embodiment of sexuality) and his passion with Eva was great as well. I'm finding the Brona character rather dreary (though again, her sex scene with Dorian was superb and disturbing - that guy really needs an award for this part) though I guess she might chirp up a bit when set against the marvellous demented but classically trained 'Creature' played by Rory Kinnear. He has been fabulous. Really, intensely strong cast. If anything, the vampires have been the weak link throughout the whole season...
Comment modified at
I give it an A. I agree 100 % with all of what Michelle said.

Yay! So glad you agree with me. :)

AirTalk for March 20, 2013
Beware the Ides of March! Madness invades the workplace
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
Brad Waldow #00 of the St. Mary's Gaels attempts to control a loose ball in the second half against the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders during the first round of the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at University of Dayton Arena on March 19, 2013 in Dayton, Ohio.
Depending on who you talk to, March Madness can be a boon or a bust for employers. A recent survey by the job outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas says that nearly a third of employees spend an average of 3 hours per work day watching games – an addiction further enabled by access to streamed online coverage of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. That plus the time spent by hoop-hoppers speculating, rehashing and organizing office pools costs businesses $134 million in lost productivity, according to the company.
But other reports cite a boost in employee morale that more than makes up for the loss. In fact, some employers find there's a method to March Madness – making it an office-wide event can benefit the whole team. Granting time-outs to check scores, fostering friendly competition, allowing workers to wear team colors and being flexible with off-court time are just some of the ways to make keep their team engaged throughout the season.
Are you an employer who dreads college basketball season? If you're a fan, have you found ways to get your hoop fix at work, or do you use up your sick days every March? Does your employer give you a pass on productivity, or do you get the penalty box?

How to Work out Chest Muscles Without Weights
Three Methods:Beginner Chest WorkoutsIntermediate Chest WorkoutsAdvanced Chest Workouts
For men who work out, the chest muscles are a group that should never be neglected. A muscular body without a matching muscular chest will look uneven and out of place. For women who work out, chest muscles are still important because strong chest muscles will aid in performing everyday tasks. Most muscles groups--such as the thighs, calves, arms, and abs--have numerous exercises that can be performed without the need for weight, but many people think that working out the chest requires a trip to the gym. Learning how to work out chest muscles without weights is easy and simply a matter of knowledge.
Method 1 of 3: Beginner Chest Workouts
1Perform knee pushups. Kneel down on the floor on both knees and place your hands on the ground in front of you. Walk your hands forward until you feel the weight of your upper body on your arms. Straighten your back so that your knees and your shoulders create a straight, rigid line and bend your knees so your feet are in the air. One repetition consists of bending your arms down to a 90 degree angle and straightening them out again.Ad
2Perform basic pushups. Get into the position used for knee pushups, but instead, straighten out your knees. Instead of resting your knees on the floor, use your feet as the contact point with the ground. Straighten your back so that your feet and your shoulders create a straight, rigid line. Each hand should be on the floor directly under their respective shoulders. One repetition consists of bending your arms down to a 90 degree angle and straightening them out again.
Method 2 of 3: Intermediate Chest Workouts
1Perform elevated pushups. Find a sturdy chair that won't slide across the ground and is able to hold your weight. Place the chair up against the wall for extra stability. Get into a pushup position but place your feet on the chair rather than on the ground. Straighten your back so that your feet and your shoulders create a horizontal line parallel with the floor. One repetition consists of bending your arms down to a 90 degree angle and straightening them out again.
2Perform reptile pushups. In a standard pushup position, raise your right knee up until it touches your right elbow. In this position, bend your arms to a 90 degree angle and then straighten them out again. Straighten out your right leg back to normal position. Repeat the same motion with your left leg. By lifting a leg before performing a pushup, you shift more weight onto each arm in each repetition, which helps to build chest muscle quicker. A repetition counts as 2 pushups, 1 on each side.
3Perform dips. Find 2 chairs of the same type and make sure that they are extremely stable and sturdy. Position them so they are back-to-back, then separate them until they are shoulder-width apart. Put 1 hand on each chair, hold yourself straight up, then bend your knees so that your feet aren't touching the floor. Lower yourself until your arms are at a 90 degree angle, then raise yourself up until your arms are straight again. This counts as 1 repetition.
- Dips are a great way to work out the inner chest muscles, which are often under-exercised with pushups.
Method 3 of 3: Advanced Chest Workouts
1Perform backpack pushups. When normal pushups and pushup variations begin to grow too easy, your body will stop benefiting from the exercises. You will need to increase the weight and stress of the pushups, and one great way to do that is to wear a backpack. Perform any of the above pushup variations while wearing a backpack. Feel free to change the amount of weight inside the backpack to suit your needs.
2Perform backpack dips. When normal dips become too easy, they'll stop building chest muscles and start building chest endurance. In order to continue building muscle, you will need to increase the weight and stress of the dips. Wearing a backpack is a simple and easy way to do that, and you'll be able to easily add or subtract weight from inside the backpack to suit your needs.Ad

- Use an old t-shirt or cloth to make a resistance workout: Find a t-shirt or similar piece of cloth with some elasticity.
- Wrap one end around one hand and wrap the other end on your other hand.
- Put your arms out straight in front of you at shoulder level palms down with the shirt stretched between them at shoulder width.
- Pull your arms away from each other laterally as hard as you can really feel your chest stretch. At the point of most resistance, hold for a count of ten.
- Do ten of these, upping the reps and hold time each workout. This really rips your chest after a couple of months.
- When using a backpack or any other source of extra weight in a workout, always start with as little weight as possible. For a backpack, this means starting with an empty backpack. If you underestimate the difficulty and start out with too much weight, you may not be able to handle the pressure, resulting in injured or torn muscles.

This cabin is just 5 feet from the lake. It has a private dock, screened porch overlooking the lake, and additional open porch with gas grill. It is Just 150 feet from the very gently sloped sandy beach shared with only 3 other cabins. Watch the kids play while you soak up some sun or use our boats and have fun on the water. Come join us for a fun-filled summer! Rated one of the cleanest lakes in New Hampshire, Lake Armington is located in the foothills of the White Mountains in Piermont, New Hampshire. The Lake has loons, ducks & fishing (stocked). In addition to the lake, you can enjoy all of the fun things to do in New Hampshire's White Mountains & Lakes Region, as well as local activities & weekly events such as fairs, church suppers and more! Lake Armington is located 2.75 hours by car from Boston, and 5.5 hours from New York. The cabin is less than 1 mile away from the historic Appalachian Trail, the United States' longest marked footpath.
I rented cottage just for myself. But it's large enough to accommodate 5. Clean, well organized, comfortable for any kind of weather. Great swimming, hiking, boating, reading books on the porch in a swinghommok. I'll never forget a few nights at the campfire, watching the stars, listening loons. Water at the lake is sooooo clear, soooo warm! Very easy to become a mermaid. Unbelievable! I enjoyed every minute of my staying at the cottage. I like to cook everything on the grill. And cottage has a great new grill! This cottage was just what I needed and wanted. Spectacular view from windows of the lake. Loon's family with 2 babies were coming very close to cottage every morning. Very relaxing and cozy!!
This is a place to come and relax and enjoy nature. There's only 25 cabins on the entire lake, the other half doesn't even have a road. Take a look at our most up to date list of local attractions at our website, including a nearby nature/animal park and a ton of hiking, biking and ATV trails.

Online Edition - Vol. VII, No. 4: June 2001
Veni Creator Spiritus
Veni Creátor Spiritus,
Mentes tuórum vísita;
Imple supérna grátia
Quae tu creásti péctora.
Qui díceris Paráclitus,
Donum Dei altíssimi,
Fons vivus, ignis cáritas,
Et spiritális únctio.
Tu septifórmis múnere,
Dextrae Dei tu dígitus,
Tu rite promíssum Patris,
Sermóne ditans gúttura.
Accénde lumen sénsibus,
Infúnde amórem córdibus,
Infírma nostri córporis
Virtúte firmans pérpeti.
Hostem repéllas lóngius,
pacémque dones prótinus;
Ductóre sic te praévio,
Vitémus omne nóxium.
Per te sciámus da Patrem,
Noscámus atque Fílium,
Te utriúsque Spíritum
Credámus omni témpore.
Deo Patri sit glória,***
Et Fílio quia mórtuis,
Surréxit, ac Paráclito,
In saeculórum saécula. Amen.
Come, Holy Ghost
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator Blest,
Vouchsafe within our souls to rest;
Come with Thy grace and Heav'nly aid
And fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
To Thee, the Comforter, we cry,
To Thee, the Gift of God Most High,
The Fount of life, the Fire of love,
The soul's Anointing from above.
The sev'nfold gifts of grace are Thine,
O Finger of the Hand Divine;
True Promise of the Father Thou,
Who dost the tongue with speech endow.
Thy light to evr'y thought impart,
And shed Thy love in evr'y heart;
The weakness of our mortal state
With deathless might invigorate.
Drive far away our wily Foe
And Thine abiding peace bestow;
If Thou be our protecting Guide,
No evil can our steps betide.
Make Thou to us the Father known,
Teach us the eternal Son to own,
And Thee, whose name we ever bless,
Of both the Spirit, to confess.
Glory to Thee, Father and Son
And Holy Spirit, with them One;
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from the Spirit flow!

Try some day runs, Europe has some fantastic scenery!
Speeding fines are the worst...I did 31mph in a 30mph and was hit with a £450 fine!
You can change settings, but I now have a dash which shows both MPH and KPH so I am happy
I'm pretty sure I once got fined for not having lights on at night.....before I figured out the keys for correct lighting
yeah that will happen. Driving on the wrong side of the road, no lights, you will get fined for a massive amount!
Last edited by featured_spectre; 16th January 2014 at 12:50 PM.
Wrong Way - €100 / £80
No Lights - €150 / £120
Not resting - €150 / £120
Running a red light - €350 / £280
Colliding with car - €450 / £320
Speeding - €550 / £440
I take it for those you are fined regardless? As in if i drive with no lights down the wrong way, will I be fined or does there have to be a camera/police see me doing it?
Cameras/police need to see it, but sometimes you dont see either and get it.
I was on a country road going from portsmouth to london, no cameras, no police I could see, hit with a speeding fine, no lights and wrong way (I had been driving in Europe all day).
Also, not resting fines are automatic, and they accumulate so be careful, because if you dont rest, for every 10 mins it hits you, as they put a rest stop roughly every 8-9 mins of driving.
I am running the Scania R420, but have an Economy Engine which adds 8% fuel efficiency, and specc'd my truck so that its overall weight is lighter which means more pulling power for bigger loads.
I also have the Volvo FH16 750 which is a beast, as I have hit nearly 100mph with it with the speed restriction off mod!
I got the basic scaina (the one for 107k) and its a great truck. I have upgraded the gearbox is the "r" and uk Spec dashboard.. (i didnt buy that when i got the truck...)
My volvo is left hand drive, my Scania is right hand drive.

Gaming In 1991: Heroic Worlds
Despite being (now) 17 years out-of-date, this book is absolutely engrossing.
Not only does Mr. Schick attempt to list and briefly describe every RPG product known to man, but he also gives recommendations for the top games of various genres. The 250-system Game Index is impressive, but perhaps most enjoyable for me were the essays. Herein, we have Tom Moldvay pimping Lords of Creation, Erick Wujcik discussing good game design, Ken St. Andre talking about whatever the hell he felt like, and plenty more famous game designers holding forth on a wide variety of topics. The introductory history of gaming is enjoyable to read, as well. Included in the back is a timeline that charts major developments in RPGs--I think I may be tempted to cut this out of the book before returning it.
I'd like to do some articles this week covering the various facets of this book, which I find hugely entertaining (only occasionally due to the outdated assumptions made therein). So be sure to tune in for the rest of the week, as we take a snapshot look at gaming as it was seen in the year 1991. If you think about it, the outlook and business models for the hobby then were very much different--no Vampire, no d20 SRD, no MMORPGs to contend with, no pdf publishing, and no internet community.
If you want to see just how different the assumptions were back then, consider this quote from the book:
"Role-playing games are the games of our generation, just as Monopoly was for the last generation". --Greg Stafford
Yep. Anyhow, if you'd like excerpts from any of the product blurbs/reviews contained herein, let me know and I'll try to respond as I can.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the week. Since all I know is D&D I've got no special requests.
Except for pictures! Does it have any pretty pictures?

- Zachary The First said...
Actually, it has some nice excerpt art from a number of RPGs. Not a lot, and black and white, but quality. The cover itself is pretty mediocre, I thought.
Glad you're looking forward to it! There should be some good articles, starting later today...

One of my favorite gaming books ever! A great history of the hobby. If only there were an updated version. I'm surprised that there's still an intact library copy somewhere, actually.
As a librarian, I think I'm required to give the "photocopy, don't cut" speech or they might take away my degree. I remember checking out D&D rulebooks and modules at our local library as a kid and finding maps, charts, etc. ripped out.
But you're only kidding, right? ;)

@Kaiju: Yep, just kidding. I love books too much. :)
I do wish there were an updated version!

Very cool. This is only about a year and a half before I started gaming, and right around the time the "New RPG Paradigm Revolution" kicked into full swing with the advent of V:tM and a lot of other systems.

Stop 30 Zion National Park Visitor Center
Location: About 26 miles northwest of Kanab, UT.
Date: March 12, 2007
Located in Southwestern Utah, Zion Canyon is one of the most stunning landforms in the world. It's one a series of spectacular canyons that were created largely in response to uplift of the Colorado Plateau. Located at the western margin of the Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range Province, Zion provides a fascinating look into 275 million of year of sedimentary strata. Zion also lies on a major structural block in-between two major south-southwest trending normal faults which step down to the Basin and Range Province. The Hurricane Fault (west side) and Sevier Fault (east side) serve as the boundary of this structural block. The canyon itself is over 15 miles long and 800 meters deep carved out by the North Fork of the Virgin River.
A map of Zion with the stops that we made.
The nearly horizontal sedimentary bedrock exposed in Zion Canyon tells a fascinating tale of the evolution of the climate and land during the time of the rock layers deposition. 275 million years of strata are exposed in various points throughout the park. The most prominent bedrock segment of the canyon is the Navajo Sandstone which comprises over 600 meters of cemented sand dunes with isolated paleo-oases. The Navajo Sandstone is largely responsible for the dramatic cliffs that are exposed creating the Zion Canyon. Middle Jurassic Limestone caps, of the Temple Cap and Carmel Formations, on the Navajo Sandstone create the spectacular, locally called, monoliths/temples of the canyon. The figures below briefly describe the bedrock geology and climatic sequences that formed the rock formations seen in Zion National Park. A great way to view the entire bedrock sequence within the park is from watchman's overlook.
Fluvial Geomorphology of Canyon Formation- As the Colorado Plateau uplifted the stream gradient of the Virgin River was also increased. This caused the river to gain velocity and increase its erosional capability. The river removed almost all the Cretaceous sediment and rock and began to downcut into the Jurassic and Triassic sedimentary rock layers which includes the Navajo Sandstone. Because of the bedrock constrictions the river was not able to migrate laterally as easily as it was able to downcut. The downcutting progressed and carved the narrow canyon into the Navajo Sandstone that can be seen in the "Narrows" area. Further downstream downcutting exposed the more erodeable layers of the Kayenta, Moenave, and Chinle formations allowing for relatively extensive lateral migration creating the wider canyon area at the canyon's southern most section. Tributary streams lacked the power to erode and downcut that the larger Virgin River had leaving hanging valleys high above the current river level. These hanging valleys now provide spectacular waterfalls that flow over the tributary valleys boundary with the canyon.
