(CBS) - Both lack of exercise and consuming too many calories can certainly contribute to gaining extra pounds, but a new study suggests that the former may be the main culprit in the obesity epidemic in the U.S. And women younger than 40 appear to be particularly vulnerable to the risks of a sedentary lifestyle.
The study, published July 7 in the American Journal of Medicine, found that in the last 20 years, the number of women in the U.S. who reported no physical activity in their free time increased from about 19 percent in 1994 to nearly 52 percent in 2010. In men, the number rose from about 11 percent in 1994 to 44 percent in 2010. Meanwhile, the average BMI (body mass index) increased by 0.37 percent per year in both men and women, rising most dramatically in women ages 18to 39. During the same time period, overall caloric intake did not change.
"Our findings do not support the popular notion that the increase of obesity in the United States can be attributed primarily to sustained increase over time in the average daily caloric intake of Americans," study author Dr. Uri Ladabaum, an associate professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, wrote in the study.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of U.S. adults are now obese.
The researchers looked at possible reasons for the escalation of obesity by examining people's exercise habits and caloric intake. The researchers did not focus on what exactly the people ate or drank, but they saw that overall daily consumption of calories, fat, carbs and protein had not changed much over the years.
However, the researchers noted two groups in the study who differed from that average. Among women who reported no leisure-time physical activity, caloric intake did increase, while men with high levels of physical activity in their leisure time took in fewer calories.
The researchers also examined the rise in abdominal obesity, which is a marker for mortality even in people with average BMIs. Experts define abdominal obesity by waist circumference of 34.65 inches (88 cm) or greater for women, and 40.16 in (102 cm) or greater for men. The results showed that the average waist circumference rose by 0.37 percent per year in women and 0.27 percent per year in men.
"The prevalence of abdominal obesity has increased among normal-weight women and overweight women and men," Ladabaum said. "It remains controversial whether overweight alone increases mortality risk, but the trends in abdominal obesity among the overweight are concerning in light of the risks associated with increased waist circumference independent of BMI."
Pamela Powers Hannley, managing editor at the American Journal of Medicine, who wrote a commentary accompanying the study that looked at the results from a socioeconomic perspective. She suggested that many people, particularly young single mothers, may be just too busy trying to make ends meet in the aftermath of the economic crisis.
"Is it any wonder that Ladabaum et al found such a dramatic increase in leisure time inactivity among young women?" Powers Hannley wrote. "If you are spending your time and energy just eking out a living for your family, it's not surprising that you're not exercising. "
She called for action to tackle the problem of obesity in the U.S. "From encouraging communities to provide safe places for physical activity to ensuring ample supply of healthy food to empowering Americans to take control of their health, we must launch a concerted comprehensive effort to control obesity," she wrote.

2-50cc Scooter/Moped Carb Theory And Common Carb Problems
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
Henry Tripp: Really don't need the life story or a blow by blow of your drinking.
Angel Sun: I have a 205cc briggs and Stratton OHV system with a belt drive, (1 belt) from the motor to the rear tire. When I start the engine all is fine it starts right up, but when I give it throttle to start moving i drives very slow like 3 -5mph and it makes a squeeling sound I have to push the bike along by kicking the ground like skatebording to get momentum when i do it gets going better but incresed throttle makes squeeling sounds and the bike never gets past like 10-15 mph it loses power. so I end up turning it of and pushing it back home, do you have any ideas as to what is wrong this has been hindering my progress for 6 months now
Christoffer Pritchett: You need to let it warm up for say 5 mins to make sure the autochoke/enricher is warmed up. At that point, with the suspicion of an unclogged carburetor and jets, you would want to adjust your fuel mixture screw. Too far either way will make it bog. Find the center position. You do want it to run on the rich side as it keeps the engine cooler. Quick throttle turns while adjusting the screw will help you find the engines happy place. It will be where the engine's idle is at the highest and turning the throttle does not exhibit any bogging or choking. You may need to do a few test runs under load to make sure you have it perfect. This should all be done with a cleaned carb! With small engines atmospheric or elevation changes greatly affect your carburetors performance. I would retune the fuel/air mixture every 6 months as far as seasons are concerned. Remember to reset the idle screw after tuning the mixture screw :) Always use the highest octane gas that is offered!!!
nathan hofschulte: 8000hp? holy crap
William Walters: I am having a problem like this. Basically it almost never starts and when it does it is fine. If I don't hold the throttle open it seems to make a grinding noise like it isn't getting enough cranking amps. I have taken it to a scooter person and I told them it doesn't seem to want to start and I wanted them to look over it and fix the issue. Also I wanted them to see if they can give it a little more speed and ability to go up hills without slowing down. Well they did that and it worked fine for awhile but eventually stopped wanting to start after a few attempts. I really think it may be the auto choke do you think this may be the issue as well?
abel berenguer: Hi Dios tks again four you all videos you been post, I have a Chinnes scooter Sym Fiddle version 1 from 1999 my question is- is ok to use same pipe size from the petcoke " vacuum pump" four the vacuum and petrol tank you have a great Christmas and Happy new year four you and you family best regards: BERENGUER

PLEASE HELP DOISPEEDDEMON
crazydriverboy: When i rev my speedfight 2(50cc) it takes about 3 seconds for it to start moving and it takes a while to but when it does reach 10mph the acceleration speeds up by alot, i was thinking the clutch springs were too hard and that they made the clutch engage at high RPM's but wouldnt that increase the acceleration a bit quicker than when i reach 10 mph? the scooter is restricted btw, please help!!

Robin Bigun: @DIOSpeedDemon I have the same problem! I will clean the jet! thanks
hammerhead042: What I'm going to check tomorrow is the cvt drive belt because I noticed that some bolts were not all the way tight so I'm lead to believe it has been tampered with before. If the belt or clutch is not the case does anyone have any suggestions on what may cause that engine to scream out of control and see no movement in the tire?
G1LDZ: PLEASE HELP!!! Oil coming out carb into air box on a 2 stroke!!! FULL STORY..................... I just purchased a piaggio hexagon 180, was told when I brought it that the autolube leaks but "not a problem because I've just premixed since it did it last year" rode it back the 60miles and ran lovely, next day pool of oil under bike dripping from air box, (Can't be autolube!!!! How can autolube leak with no oil in it?) So not having much mechanical know-how, I check out the Internet for Info....
DIOSpeedDemon: I cant hear anything on this video, sorry.
dammstr1991: as soon as i pour gas into my gas tank the gas starts pouring rite out what can be the problem?
DIOSpeedDemon: @Sabbador Look around the head for any oil or gas leaks. This will show a bad head gasket. It is imperative to change the head gasket after every tear down. Go to a motorcycle shop, order a new gasket or three, for spares, and change that used head gasket for starters. Get a new spark plug while you are at it. SOunds like a blown head gasket to me. RH
delamsam2: my 70cc scooter engine cuts out when i twist the throttle more then half way any idea what the problem could be ? thanks

Sabbador: @Sabbador (continueing my other comment) What do you think could be wrong? Hope you can help. The carb should be working fine, but maybe it's the menbrane again? It also as significant start problems. When kick starting i need to kick 15 - 30 times lol. It's only a few years old and has run 13.000 KM.
mechaniczman64: TO: jalesj03 you might not have enough gas in your tank make sure your choke iworking right when it starts to die unchoke it

Thousands of people took out a rally in Omkareshwar town on Sunday and announced a jal satyagraha on July 16 against the Madhya Pradesh government's decision to raise the water level in the dam up to 193 metres.
People affected by the Omkareshwar, Maheshwar, Indira Sagar, Upper Beda and Man dams participated in the rally, led by the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA).
Later at a public meeting, the dam-affected resolved not to move out of their villages without prior rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) and allotment of land as per the R&R policy.
NBA leader Alok Agarwal said the State government's decision was a blatant violation of the Supreme Court orders.
"In its judgment of May 2011 about the R&R of the oustees of the Omkareshwar project, the Supreme Court had held it was the constitutional obligation of the project authorities to allot a minimum of 2 hectares of agricultural land to each displaced family and provide other R&R benefits before the construction of the dam," said Mr. Agarwal.
"The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that R&R, including allotment of land, must be completed six months before submergence. Thus, the decision of the State government to submerge the area when land allotment is yet to commence, violates the fundamental rights of the oustees," he said.
NBA activist Chittaroopa Palit said the project oustees, with the help of concerned people all over the country, would undertake an audit of the R&Rmeasures done by the project authorities and release a report soon.

We all know the dangers of using your cellphone while driving. There are campaigns to inform the masses that texting while driving is not only dangerous but it is against the law. The state of New York has 'texting' zones. Areas on highways where you can safely pull over off the road and park to text. I actually think this is a good idea. You see rest stops every so often, now there could be text stops.

Whether its a cash game or a tournament, the idea is the same, to have the best hand at the end to win the pot. There is the two under cards, the flop, the turn, and the river and opportunities to bet to either get the other players to fold or call your bet and ultimately win the hand. Sometimes it works, sometimes it becomes a 'bad beat' and you lose by the way the cards fall. Now comes a story where exactly that happens.

Italy pasta exec's comments on gays spur angerSeptember 26, 2013 @ 11:26 am
ROME (AP) - An executive of the Italy-based pasta maker Barilla has apologized for hurting anyone's "sensitivity" after saying the company would never feature ads depicting gay families.
Chairman Guido Barilla's comments Wednesday in an Italian radio interview triggered calls to boycott his company's products, which include cookies and bread.
Many of the company's ads depict heterosexual parents with children gathered for breakfast or dinner.
Barilla says he supports gay marriage but not adoption since it would be "complicated" for same-sex couples to raise children.
After calls mounted on Twitter for boycotts, he reiterated his backing for gay marriage in a statement Thursday, but insisted that traditional families have always been "identified" with the Barilla brand.

Sleepy Hollow
State Of Affairs
Homer Simpson was born March 12, 1951 to parents Abe and Mona Simpson. He is an overweight and lazy, yet devoted and caring man of below average intelligence.
At his job at the Sprinfield Nuclear Power plant, Homer is lazy, and often sleeps on duty. His favourite hobbies are watching TV and drinking at Moe's Tavern.
His best friends are childhood pals Barney Gumble, Lenny Leonard, Carl Carlson, and Moe Szyslak. His favourite beer is Duff.
In 1960, Homer pushed 15 crayons up his nose. One remains wedged in his brain, resulting in Homer's below low IQ. Homer Simpson developed an overeating habit after a traumatizing experience discovering a decomposing corpse.
Homer met Marge Bouvier in high school and fell in love with her immediately. The couple married at Shotgun Pete's 24 hour Wedding Chapel while Marge was pregnant with their first born, Bart. It is the three announcements of Marge's pregnancy which have resulted in Homer Simpson's loss of hair.
Throughout the years, Homer's held many jobs. This include a gig at Sir Putt-A-Lot's Merrie Old Fun Cetre, a pin monkey at Barney's uncle's bowling alley, a professional astronaut, and aa Grammy award winning musician.
Homer's rival is his pious neighbor Ned Flanders. Homer attends church on a regular basis despite being an irreligious man. Despite his indifference towards church, Homer has met God several times, who once told Homer he's allowed to skip church.
Homer is a polygot, meaning he is able to easily speak many languages. Homer has been known to speak Spanish and Penguing.
At least once a season, Homer Simpson has had a life saving operation. He owns the Denver Broncos, has died twice, has been shot three times, and is afraid of sock puppets.
Homer Simpsons middle name is The Simpsons creator Matt Groening's nod to Bullwinkle J Moose of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Homer has been cited as being inspired by actor Walter Mathau and the British comedy Laurel and Hardy.
Homer Simpson's email is email@example.com - if you send Homer an email, Simpsons writer Matt Saleman will reply.
After six years of dating, Jake (Ken Marino) and Annie (Casey Wilson) are finally getting engaged.
Die-hard Republican and card-carrying NRA member Stan Smith lives with his family in Langley Falls, VA. Smith is a CIA agent who is an undisputed weapons expert and proud family man.

kenya Farming plants seeds of growthComment on this story
Kenya's government expected its economy to grow 5.6 percent this year, up from 5 percent in 2012, with growth rising to 6 percent in the medium term, the finance ministry said yesterday.
In a budget policy statement, it cited growth in agriculture, which was likely to increase output due to favourable weather, as well as infrastructure projects in transport and energy. – Reuters

Business Development Companies for Stable Dividend Returns
Added Factors
Another aspect that sets Prospect above many of the other stocks in the sector is its ability to avoid major capital losses and increase its dividends in the years since the 2008 financial collapse. None of the company's loans made during that period can be placed in the "nonperforming" category, as there are no instances of loans that are not generating the agree-upon interest rate due to nonpayment. This is not a claim that can be made by some of the company's main competitors. Valuations are also important, given the fact that stocks like Main Street Capital are now trading at levels that are 1.7 times the company's tangible book value -- relatively high for a business development company.
For investors looking to gain exposure to the attractive dividends that can be found in BDCs, there are many solid opportunities available. But, as always, it is important to watch the factors supporting portfolio strength and the fundamental outlook, rather than relying on yields alone. Prospect Capital does look to offer solid potential in both of these areas, however, and growth in coming quarters should be a strong indication of where the company is headed long-term.

Kenyan court in the coastal city of Mombasa sentenced nine Somalis to five years in prison each for attempting to hijack the German merchant vessel MV Courier in the Gulf of Aden in March 2009.
The men were arrested by international anti-piracy forces before being handed over to Kenya to be prosecuted, as Somalia was not considered able to try them properly.
Although the number of attacks has fallen markedly since 2011 thanks to tougher security aboard ships and increased Western naval patrols, piracy emanating from the Horn of Africa nation may still cost the world economy about $18bn a year, the World Bank said in April.
Prosecutors told the court on Tuesday the men attacked the ship armed with a rocket launcher, an AK-47 rifle, a pistol, a SAR80 carbine rifle, and other weapons.
"The suspects used violence to hijack the vessel, and took control of it, putting in fear the lives of those aboard," prosecutors said in the charge sheet.
Kenyan officials said 18 crew on board survived the ordeal.The nine suspects were held in custody at one of Kenya's maximum security prisons during the trial period. They all denied the accusations.
While handing out the sentence, the court noted that the accused had already served a long term in jail while the trial was in progress, and therefore were given shorter jail terms.
"I am satisfied with the evidence presented by the prosecution, which proves beyond reasonable doubt that an act of piracy was committed," judge Stephen Riech said. Riech ordered the nine to be deported to Somalia after serving their sentences.
Last month another nine Somalis were handed a similar sentence at the same court, after also being found guilty of hijacking a ship in the Gulf of Aden in 2010.

Four students at Lone Star College-Cy-Fair are excited at the possibility of their floor plan designs being built in homes in a new Habitat for Humanity northwest area neighborhood.
The past partnership between Habitat for Humanity Northwest Harris County and students of Bill Arnold�s LSC-Cy-Fair Construction Methods and Materials class expanded to include students with his other drafting classes.
Last fall, Arnold invited his students to participate in a two-month new Habitat Home design competition. More than 50 students with varying skill levels took on the challenge to design three- and four-bedroom home floor plans.
In the end, four students were recognized �for outstanding achievement in creation of a new home design plan being considered for construction for future Habitat for Humanity homes.�
Competition winners, who received certificates from LSC-Cy-Fair and Habitat included Wesley Byrd, Basic AutoCAD student, Michael Didion and Carolyn Hardy, AutoCAD Intermediate students, and Mary Tang, Advanced Architectural student.
�It�s our belief that a family deserves the opportunity to live in a simple decent home,� said Carla Ehlers with Habitat for Humanity. �This partnership not only gave students some real life work experience but benefits us with new design plans.�
Having used the same floor plans for some time, such as in Habitat neighborhoods in Tomball and West Mount Houston, Ehlers said they wanted to provide homeowners with design options inside and out in the new Bammel North Houston neighborhood planned for construction this May.
�It�s awesome to think my design may be used,� said Didion. �If it is, I want to help build it, too.�
For information on Habitat for Humanity Northwest Harris County, go to habitatnwhc.org or call Rachael Wright at 281-820-2307.

Update: UNC-Duke game has been postponed.
Theyve not decided yet, but UNC Chapel Hill athletics officials are considering opening up the Dean E. Smith Center to anyone who can make it to the 9 p.m. college basketball game between rivals North Carolina and Duke if expected snow and ice keep ticket-holders home.
Right now, we dont have any inclement weather, so its hard to know how many people will come to the game, UNC sports information director Steve Kirschner said 11 a.m. That decision will be made later on, closer to game time.
Yet there is precedent for such a move. Officials did open up the Dean Dome to anyone in 1994 and 2000 both times against Maryland.
During both those games, fans were allowed in and seated in upper sections of the arena. After the first TV time-out, they were invited to move closer to the court in seats not taken by ticket-holders, Kirschner said.
We didnt want to dislodge anybody from seats who had tickets, he said.
Chapel Hill is predicted to get two to four inches of snow today and another inch of snow and ice tonight.
Kirschner said the weather wont stop the game. The Atlantic Coast Conference requires a game to be played if the two teams and referees can safely get to the arena.
The ACC have told UNC officials they have officials lined up for the game, and Duke has said theyll be here, Kirschner said. So weve got a game.

As of 5th September 2014, on the land adjacent to the far boundary of Los Claveles near the studio apartments, a large crane has been installed and a small amount of earth moving is being carried out. At this time we are unsure as to any long term intentions or use of this land by the proprietor.

Melee is now actually a viable combat mechanic and works on most enemies.
Animations are greatly improved and the graphics quality in general are a definant improvemnt.
Combat feels smoother in general.
Less annoying missions.
Different voice actor for Cole, which if you haven't played the first game recently you may not notice, but I beat the first one less then a month ago so it was pretty obvious to me. The new voice actor just doesn't sound "right".
Camera problems - Often an enemy would knock me back into a wall sending the camera into a permanant random spin which would result in me not being able to effectively move away from the wall.. think of it as a death spiral.
Unforgiving health - some enemies can and will one shot you, it happens often enough to be frustrating at times.
Poorly chosen mission locations - once you get to "swamp town" you are constantly facing enemies who shoot rockets at you, which knock you back and down, into water, which kills you. This leads to winning missions more on LUCK then actual player skill.
Speaking more on luck - there are quite a few points in the game where you can loose/die by seeming random coincidence through no mistake on your part. For instance near the end of the game you are expected to tether from boat to boat to get away from a boss. However while tethering across "allies" are shooting the boss with rockets.. which for some inexplicable reason will occasionally hit you in mid tether and knock you into the water... where you die.
Juvenille personality remakes - Somewhere along the line they decided to rewrite coles personality, he is now more "childish" in his humor.

The story was compelling and gripping. I ended finishing the game in three days (as a hero) and I would've finished in one, however, I actually had to go to work.
I also definitely enjoyed the new powers I got, however, I definitely did not like the way I had to earn the upgrades. I don't mind the whole getting-a-kickass-power-after-every-blast-core but getting the upgrades for the original powers I already had was a pain in the butt. I enjoyed the strategy of getting new powers in the first game a whole lot more. It was much easier to understand the first game because in this game I only really stuck to the powers that were most destructive and easy to use. I really didn't like having to pause the game just to change powers for a particular enemy even if it's for a few seconds.
Also Cole was very grabby. There were times I just wanted to jump off a ledge but he kept grabbing the ledge and it was really annoying. I couldn't just do a single, simple jump without him annoying me by grabbing the ledge or something.
But despite this annoyances, the game was unbelievably good. The enemies were much more challenging this time around and I enjoyed every minute that I spent defeating them. Although I preferred the storyline of the very first game more, the storyline for inFamous 2 kept me glued to my couch for two days (except when I had to go to work).
Also the graphics were amazing! Way better than the first game.
I highly recommend this game to everyone because you will definitely have a good time beating it.

I2 picks up where Infamous left off as Cole and his allies prepare to head for New Marais, so Cole can get juiced up enough to fight an end of days like foe known as "The Beast" When it comes sooner than expected, Cole must quickly prepare for the confrontation. Question is will Cole have what it takes to save the world, or will he watch it go up in flames? The choice is once again yours.
Better looking graphics and Sucker Punch puts motion capture to good use.
The amp is fun to use
Cole already has access to most of his powers from InFamous right at the start.
Trophy import is a nice thought for those who wish to start I2 with a few perks.
Cole's new powers are a blast
Karma plays a bigger role in this game thanks to two new characters who have superpowers of their own(not to mention they both have drastically different ideas of getting things done)
New Marias is a nice change in locale compared to Empire City
I2 offers a good variety of side missions ranging from taking on choppers to taking pictures for Zeke to even fighting a humongus swamp critter.
UGC Missions are also a nice thought.
New variations on existing powers.
Making your own missions is not easy
Occasional problems with the camera
Overall, I2 gets a 9 out of 10. Despite a few flaws here and there, I2 shows Sucker Punch can make a great sequel and crank it up to 11. You'll definetly want to play this game twice to see how both sides of the karma coin play out.
Cole Has Never Looked Better.

Great Sequel with Big Shoes to Fill

Infamous 2 came really close to being another rare case where a sequel was better then the original, but fell short.
Infamous 2's story line seemed to lack the hook that gave you a personal connection with the game's main character, Cole. The first Infamous had a captivating plot, spot on delivery, and great acting, all of which really pulled me into the story. Remember how vengeful you felt when Cole's girlfriend died in the first Infamous? I really don't remember ever feeling this same connection when playing Infamous 2.
The way the game ended was arguably the best part of the story, with the only real twist. And trust me, it's a pretty big twist.
The gameplay in Infamous 2 was great as far as variety of powers at your disposal is concerned. In fact, Cole has so many powers in the sequel that the game creators seemed to have ran out of PS3 controller buttons to use all of them.
The mini and main bosses were somewhat repetitive, but hey, I'm not really complaining that much. Zapping a monster in the face with a bolt of lightnining never seems to gets old.
Overall, this game is a must rent, but not worth a full purchase.
Perhaps the game developers should consider creating an affordable multiplayer component add-on. Then, and only then, would I consider fully purchasing the game.
Very Good
Infamous 2 :)

now the pros. the graphics are much better, the sound is much better, the free running very smooth and free. the camera angles tht u get wen u grind or run almost makes u feel like ur in a movie. the story is rly twisty and interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. the side missions are rly fun and you have three times as many major karmatic choices as you did in the first game. the endings are interesting and you get to use more powers this time around, being able to switch between them and all. my friend said they are rly pushing electrical powers to the limits but no one ever said tht cole just had "electrical powers" i think he is electromagneticelly kinetic becuz he can pick up cars. i rly think this is a great game tht is worth the buy.

The cut scenes have been upgraded to present a more cinematic feel and I love them!
There are also more action set pieces in this game that do a good job pulling you into the gameplay.
Addicting gameplay with new powers to play with.
Enticing story.
Some enemies can be annoying.
There are no real "decisions" to make that will alter the story, besides the final decision.
The main story is only about 7 hours long.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend renting this game or buying it if you want to complete everything the game offers.

Hulahula White-water Rafting
Hulahula River Rafting Trip from the Brooks Range to the Arctic Ocean
Raft from the peaks of the Brooks Range to the frozen Arctic Ocean. White-water and wildlife abound on this 11 day rafting adventure in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska.
• Dates: June 12 - 22, 2015
• Cost: $5,000/ person from Fairbanks
This trip combines with our High Peaks Backpack for a mountains to sea adventure of a lifetime. June 6- 22. Discounts apply.
Sketch of the Hulahula Rafting trip…
The Hulahula is an elemental river. We begin our 90-mile paddle in the Hulahula's headwaters, where the river is narrow and swift. 9,000-foot peaks tower over the tundra valley and a sense of adventure fills the air. From this dramatic start the river races towards the sea, showing us steep canyons, peaceful meadows, ice fields, wildlife and much more.
Our Hulahula raft trip traverses the great diversity of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Starting near the high peaks of the Brooks Range and ending at the cold arctic sea. There is no better way to experience the grandeur of the region. We start with several days paddling and hiking in the mountains, then paddle the canyon's Class III rapids, before spilling into the foothills. Two more days of nonstop Class II rapids take us to the coastal plain, a wilderness region unlike any other—with stunning views and superb camping. Then we continue on through the river's delta to the Arctic Ocean, where we make our last night's camp on a gravel island next to the Arctic sea-ice.
Summer travel in the arctic can be rigorous and participants should be ready for anything, including low water levels that require us to get out of the boats and drag them over shallow spots. A half-mile portage is typical at the end of this trip. The hiking opportunities are limitless; from easy ambles up the valley, to all day peak ascents. Day-hikes will be tailored to your interests and abilities.
On a wilderness trip like the Hulahula, one never knows what conditions we may face nor what opportunities might arise. This is the nature, and the honor, of wilderness travel.
Hulahula Rafting Itinerary
What follows is a general flow of events.
Expect the unexpected and prepare to be flexible.
June 11: Pre-trip meeting with your guide(s) in Fairbanks.
June 12: Fly north from Fairbanks across the Yukon River, the Arctic Circle, and the Brooks Range, to the headwaters of the Hulahula River. We'll make a comfortable camp, have a good dinner, and watch the sun refuse to set! Welcome to the arctic! We can climb a small hill for a lovely view of the valley ahead.
Hulahula Whitewater Rafting Details
Included in the price of the trip: Transportation beyond Fairbanks, food while in the wilderness, stoves, cooking & eating utensils, boats, paddles, life jackets, safety & repair gear and professional guide service.
Not included in the price of the trip: Lodging, non-camp meals, personal clothing and gear, waterproof river bag, fishing gear, and fishing license. Gratuity for guide(s). An equipment list is provided upon registration. Rental equipment is available through Arctic Wild. (Please note that if you are unable to depart Kaktovik on June 22 as scheduled, you will need to get yourself meals and a hotel in Kaktovik. This is not included in the trip price.)
Weather & Bugs: Temperatures vary dramatically in the Arctic and can range from the 20s to 70s. When the wind comes from the north, the temperature can drop to below freezing. Cold rains and snow are possible, but we get lots of sunny weather this time of the year. This trip happens during mosquito season, though bugs are made more bearable by cool, coastal breezes as we near the coast. Bring along a mosquito head net and a small bottle of DEET repellent.
Suggested Reading: Land of Extremes, Alex Huryn; Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska Geographic; Midnight Wilderness, Debbie Miller; Being Caribou, Karsten Heuer; Land of Extremes, Alex Huryn. More Alaska reading is available from our Bookstore.

.- The president of the Bishops' Conference of Guatemala, Bishop Alvaro Ramazzini, called on the country's Congress this week to approve a law on adoptions "that protects the rights of the child and strongly confronts the excesses and immoral attitudes of those who have made a business out of adoption."
"The people of Guatemala and the Catholic Church hope and desire that the Congress approves this law on adoptions on December 11," the bishop said in a statement.
He urged Congress to "fulfill its historic responsibility with regard to this issue," and he noted that in Guatemala, the adoption of children is "a commercial activity that has become very lucrative, thus stripping it of the nobility of giving an abandoned, indigenous, handicapped or unwanted child to a family and a stable home."
Babies are being treated as "simple merchandise that can be bought and sold," the bishop decried. This is just another symptom of the "profound crisis of human and moral values" that is affecting Guatemala, he said.

Clean Bottle Team Edition Water Bottle
I loved the bottle for the 2 months that I could use it, but the bottle started leaking badly out of the bottom. There is no visible damage or issue with the seal either. I'm no longer able to use it since the leak is so bad. I may have just gotten unlucky and gotten a defective bottle, but in general there is a risk to leaking since the bottom does screw on and off. It is a cool bottle, but just be aware that some might leak.

Want to feel better? Stop lying.

Do you lie (even little white lies)? You may feel better if you stop. According to Health Day News, "For good health, be sure to eat fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and lie as seldom as possible.
A Notre Dame researcher is hoping this tongue-in-cheek advice will someday take hold, based on results of a "science of honesty" study she completed that showed tangible mental and physical health benefits among those who significantly reduced their everyday lies." read more
How long can you go without telling even a tiny lie (the kind most of us tell to avoid hurting someone's feelings)?
|Tue, 08-07-2012 - 3:16pm
I'm sure I lie occasionally, I would be wary of anyone who says they don't. I do try to limit it to little white lies, and try not to respond at all if I can't say something nice. Sometimes politeness is more important than being honest. For example, if my MIL calls and wants to know if it's an imposition if she stops for a quick visit, I'm not going to be honest about it. Even though I might have a list of things to get done for the day, my stress load is not as important as making her feel welcome in our home.
|Wed, 08-08-2012 - 2:13pm
I'm with Abby on this too. Sometimes a white lie is beneficial. I'd hate to be honest about something that would only hurt their feelings, only to have it turn into a fight or upset. I can imagine that would just increase my stress! However, I really try to be honest most of the time. I think I probably fib most to my kiddos about little things (tooth fairy, Santa, Easter Bunny anyone?)! LOL!
