This bacterium is spread through close contact with other people, so make sure to keep your hands (and other body parts) to yourself. The locker room floor is a good place to catch athlete's foot, ringworm and warts, and sometimes guys walk in from outside with their shoes and track in dirt and fecal matter (it happens) containing germs that cause stomach flu and hepatitis A. So make sure to wear a pair of flip-flops around the locker room and showers. And avoid sitting down on benches with your naked bum. Traces of vaginal yeast have been detected there and can put you at risk for an infection. Sit on a towel instead.

Long before naval leaders began articulating network-centric warfare as
a concept,1 the U.S. Navy integrated weapons and sensors at diverse locations
to perform its missions. For example, in the mid-20th century, antisubmarine
warfare operations depended on long-range but limited-accuracy sensors cueing
an air platform so that it could deploy shorter-range but more-accurate sensors
capable of yielding improved targeting. Today's accelerating pace of advances
in computing and communications capabilities has led to an even broader vision
of network-centric operations that includes all military force operations in peace
as well as war and in which network-centric operations have been defined as
"military operations that exploit state-of-the-art information and networking
technology to integrate widely dispersed human decision makers, situational and
targeting sensors, and forces and weapons into a highly adaptive, comprehensive
system to achieve unprecedented mission effectiveness."2
One of the key attributes of network-centric operations is a reliable and
robust capability to support well-informed and rapid decision making by military
commanders at all levels, within a system of flexible and adaptable command
relationships. Underlying this attribute, of course, is the need to ensure that
accurate information is securely gathered, distributed, and stored in ways that are
timely, trustworthy, and not subject to disruption, corruption, or exploitation by

the opposition.3 Ensuring such a capability implies protecting the network and
the enabling information infrastructure, not only the information itself. Indeed,
the profound importance of information assurance (IA) for network-centric opera-
tions is highlighted in the Department of Defense's (DOD's) 2006 Quadrennial
Defense Review: "Achieving the full potential of net-centricity requires viewing
information as an enterprise asset to be shared and as a weapon system to be pro -
tected."4 More fundamentally, there is increasing recognition that the very nature
of network-centric operations—which implies the interconnection of everyone
and everything—introduces threats and vulnerabilities, allowing many points
of potentially harmful entry and paths for propagation of opposition attacks on
Indeed, the damaging effects of isolated domestic or international hackers
on common commercial Internet grids are all too common; for example, a 2006
computer attack at the Naval War College forced the campus to shut down its con-
nection to the Internet.5 The impact then of a concerted attack by an enemy nation
or state against U.S. computing and communications resources and infrastructure
is not only potentially drastic in scope, but also increasingly more likely to occur.
In this regard a key issue is the abundant use of vulnerable commercial off-the-
shelf technologies, and further complicating this trend is the growing movement
toward a homogeneous information system infrastructure, presenting one "target."
Such realities present a threat to information assurance.
In recent years the Department of the Navy (DON) has established its
"FORCEnet" vision as the Navy's approach to implementing network-centric
operations.6 This vision presents an operational view of capabilities, architectures,
and concepts inclusive of the entire naval force—a view that is heavily dependent
on the assured security and reliability of the Navy's information infrastructure.
Also, the FORCEnet vision and systems for naval forces are both heavily inte -
grated with and influenced by related information systems and networks across the
entire DOD enterprise. The present study was motivated by this FORCEnet vision
for naval network-centric operations, by recognition of the growing threats to
information certainty, and by the need for better understanding and management
of the many information assurance issues and influences both by naval forces and
across the DOD. A basic premise of the study is the belief that in the FORCEnet/
network-centric world of the DON and the DOD, information assurance cannot

be treated as an isolated subject. Information assurance is not just about ensuring
proper password practices, installing firewalls, and applying software patches,
viewed in isolation from actual operations. Rather, information assurance as a
critical requirement for operational success has to be fused with and subsumed
into broader operational thinking, since the success of operations is the ultimate
objective and measure of information assurance. Failure to accomplish informa -
tion assurance would inevitably have a high negative impact on the ability of naval
forces to achieve their missions.
A letter dated December 7, 2007, from ADM Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval
Operations, to Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone, President of the National Academy of Sci -
ences, requested that the National Research Council's (NRC's) Naval Studies
Board (NSB) conduct a comprehensive study on information assurance issues for
U.S. naval forces. The purpose of the requested study was to review and address
specific information assurance issues critical to network-centric naval operations,
including vulnerabilities and potential mitigating actions that might be taken by
the Department of the Navy.7,8
Accordingly, the National Research Council, under the auspices of its Naval
Studies Board, established the Committee on Information Assurance for Network-
Centric Naval Forces in February 2008.9 The study's terms of reference, formu-
lated by the Chief of Naval Operations' staff in consultation with the NSB chair
and director, charge the committee to produce two reports over a 12-month period.
First, after its second full meeting, the committee was to produce a letter report
that did the following:
• Summarized the key information assurance initiatives underway within
the Naval NETWAR/FORCEnet Enterprise,10
• Recommended any near-term information assurance needs for network-
centric naval forces, and
• Identified defense-related efforts that the naval forces should take advan-
tage of and/or ensure compatibility with.
7Acronyms and abbreviations are provided in Appendix A.
8 The study's full terms of reference are provided in Appendix B.
9 Biographical information for the committee members is presented in Appendix C.
10 The Naval NETWAR/FORCEnet Enterprise includes the Office of Chief of Naval Operations; the
Naval Network Warfare Command; the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command; the Program
Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (C4I) and Space;
and others who provide C4I and information operations support to the naval forces.

x PREFACE
The committee was requested to produce a comprehensive final report, follow-
ing the letter report, that addresses the full terms of reference. The requested letter
report was delivered to the Chief of Naval Operations in November 2008 and was
briefed to multiple constituents during which discussions were held on many
of the immediate IA issues. This report—the committee's comprehensive final
report—builds on the important areas identified in the letter report. The committee
believes that it has responded productively and has provided a comprehensive
analysis and solid recommendations for actions to help position network-centric
naval forces for their continued mission assurance.
In accomplishing its task, the committee took on a wide range of information
assurance topics as requested in the terms of reference. The committee organized
itself first to understand the nature of the naval information assurance issues and
threats, then to understand current IA actions and responsibilites across both the
DON and the DOD, and finally to formulate suggested IA responses and actions
for naval forces that take into consideration operational, technical, and organiza -
tional viewpoints and needs. The findings and recommendations in this final report
are based on wide-ranging input from experts and documents, both internal and
external to naval operations and the DOD, and on the committee's own analysis,
which draws on the expertise and experience of its members.
The committee was first convened in March 2008. After its first two meet-
ings, the committee drafted its interim letter report. It held additional meetings
and site visits over a period of 6 months, both to gather input from the relevant
communities and to discuss its findings and recommendations. An outline of the

This educational programme is dedicated to the creation of a new generation of entrepreneurs.
Running a start-up business is a big challenge. Statistics show that nearly fifty percent of start-ups fail to make it beyond the first year. Businesses fail for a variety of reasons. All too frequently the product may work perfectly but customers don't want to buy it. Sometimes the funding runs out. Success is based on a lot of factors. Many of these are personal qualities. Amongst these personal qualities an acute sense of timing and dogged persistence are some of the most important. None of them are taught at university. They are all acquired by experience.
Get Paid
A £18,000 tax-free allowance per team member - the equivalent of
a £22,000 salary.

Get Mentored
A postgraduate education in entrepreneurship based in the real world, not in the classroom.
Find Out How →
Your Business
A Seed fund provides capital to make sure each team is positioned for success after they incorporate.
Find Out How →
The Graduate Programme is designed to increase the prospects of success by providing the experience to develop a range of business skills and personal qualities. The Foundation achieves this by working with industry partners in identifying near to market business issues and challenges and asks members of the Programme to solve them.
Members of the Programme typically work in teams of four comprising three engineers and a business graduate. Teams are immersed in a structure that provides intensive support in traditional business disciplines. We understand running a start-up requires more than this. It needs an emotional commitment. The Alacrity Graduate Programme is a unique incubation experience because it is empathetic and places a premium on encouraging self-learning and educational advancement.

Calix Accelerates Business Transformation Through New Consulting Services Engagements Will Allow Service Providers to Enhance and Monetize the Broadband Experience Faster MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (Marketwired) -- 03/25/14 -- Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced the addition of Calix Consulting services to its Unified Access portfolio. Two new services -- Analytics and Catalyst -- will help communications service providers leverage Calix Compass software applications to drive business transformation inside their organizations. Each Calix Consulting service, customized for specific business objectives within a given service provider, focuses on fully understanding their subscribers' experience and delivers actionable plans to increase subscriber satisfaction. Armed with these insights, service providers can get to revenue faster with new services based on subscriber behavior, increase the average revenue per user (ARPU), reduce churn, and more effectively plan future network investments based on subscriber usage. "The Analytics service from Calix gave us the ability to pull together our network and customer usage information in a way we haven't been able to do in the past," said Derrick Mottern, director of network operations at Nemont in Scobey, Montana. "By integrating these different sets of data with our back office systems, we were able to create a list of potential customers in need of more bandwidth. Moving forward, we will be able to better target customers with packages that fit their needs and track our success and return on investment (ROI) more efficiently." The Analytics service allows service providers to get the most out of their Compass applications by analyzing data from each application to deliver custom action plans to achieve business objectives pre-defined for each engagement. For instance, by examining usage patterns from Compass Flow Analyze and correlating the data with Consumer Connect, the Analytics service helps service providers better understand usage patterns in their network and how their subscribers are accessing the Internet through a variety of broadband-enabled devices. With this detailed understanding, service providers can deliver and monetize a more personalized broadband experience to each subscriber. Companies can better target marketing campaigns and service tiers to subscribers' actual needs and more efficiently plan capital investments based on how the network is actually being utilized. The Catalyst service enables Calix customers rolling out Compass applications for the first time to get to revenue faster with new services, thus accelerating their ROI. By offering both Advanced and Custom Catalyst services, Calix can tailor each engagement to the needs of a particular service provider and their network, helping ensure that all Compass applications are correctly configured and optimized for immediate business impact. From project management and engineering support to complete turnkey installation, Catalyst services bring speed and efficiency to the deployment of all Compass applications, allowing service providers to increase service velocity and accelerate market share growth. "More than ever, consumers and businesses are looking for a customized broadband experience that allows them to gain a competitive edge in their business and have richer, more fulfilling engagements in their personal lives," said John Colvin, Calix senior vice president of North American sales. "These new Calix Consulting services allow our customers to unleash the true power of all Compass applications to exceed the expectations of their subscribers and provide the most compelling broadband experience available in their serving area. While these services provide deep insight into the subscriber broadband experience, they also allow our customers to become more CAPEX efficient and achieve a quicker ROI, helping them to optimize their spending while simultaneously bringing in new revenues." About Calix Calix (NYSE: CALX) is a global leader in access innovation. Its Unified Access portfolio of broadband communications access software and systems enables communications service providers worldwide to transform their networks and become the broadband provider of choice to their subscribers.

Hello and Spring Rates
Hello and good day.
I am new here so hello to all of you. I have a 2005 Ram 1500 2wd Hemi. Im doing some preliminary math on a street set-up. My question is does anyone know what the stock spring rates (ball park) are for front and rear? If need be I will pull them and rate them rate them before I scale the truck, but it would be nice to know a little before I get started. Thanks |
:wavey:What is it that you want to do?????????Lower? lift?
Welcome to the forum!
I am going to do an aggressive street set-up. Hard to tell what the truck needs until I do some math (which is why I need the spring rates) but it is safe to say at this point the center of gravity will need to come down (lowered) and the roll stiffness (at least the front) will need to be increased. The front will also most likely benefit from more front spring rate, wider track width and more damping rate but if and how much has yet to be determined.
Thanks |

Myrexis Presents Key Findings From Its Cancer Metabolism Inhibitor, MPC-9528
SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myrexis, Inc. (Nasdaq:MYRX), a biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel treatments for cancer, today announced key findings from preclinical studies of the Company's novel cancer metabolism inhibitor (CMI), MPC-9528, at the Cancer and Metabolism: Pathways to the Future Symposium in Edinburgh, Scotland. Compelling preclinical evidence demonstrates that treatment with MPC-9528 results in significant tumor growth inhibition and that the co-administration of niacin improves the therapeutic index of MPC-9528. Additional data, from a large panel of tumor cell lines and primary human tumor tissue indicate that approximately 40% of all cancers may carry a biochemical defect making them respond well to the combination of niacin and MPC-9528 treatment. A simple companion diagnostic could be used to identify patients with such tumors.
Key Findings:
MPC-9528 is a potent and selective inhibitor
In biochemical and cellular assays, MPC-9528 demonstrated picomolar potency for its target, Nampt (nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase). Tumoricidal activity is on target and effective against a wide rage of tumor cells. Co-administration of niacin (vitamin B3) improves MPC-9528's therapeutic index Myrexis demonstrated that co-administration of niacin (vitamin B3) could protect healthy cells from MPC-9528 activity, and that this protective effect was dependent on expression of the enzyme Naprt1. Niacin could not prevent MPC-9528-induced cell death in cancer cells that express little or no Naprt1. Expression of Naprt1 is deficient in approximately 40% of all cancers The Company evaluated 145 tumor cell lines across diverse cancer types and found Naprt1 deficiency to be common, affecting about 40% of the cell lines. MPC-9528 causes dramatic tumor regressions across multiple tumor types. In animal models, both Naprt1-proficient and Naprt1-deficient tumors responded to MPC-9528, demonstrating potent tumoricidal activity. However, greater tumor growth inhibition could be achieved in Naprt1-deficient tumors by adding niacin, which allowed MPC-9528 to be tolerated at doses greater than twice the typical maximum tolerated dose (MTD).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

"In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
— George Orwell
We live in an age — the relativity of truth — in which Orwell's adage seems as dated as monocles or top hats. Just as Darwin's theory of evolution led to Social Darwinism, a philosophy pitting one human being against another with survival of the fittest as the supreme law for success, so Einstein's theory of relativity changed popular philosophy and cultural mores as radically as it did the study of physics.
I was a weird kid growing up.
And, in many ways, I'm even weirder as an adult. Since day one, being weird is something I embrace. I'm proud of it, even though I don't give it much thought, because I think being weird is normal, and being normal is, well, boring.

100% of Denton reviewers said Liposuction was worth it
"Results Are Way in on Flank/back..."
Dr. Bogdan was great. I had a worst experience getting my wisdom teeth pulled - truly. I am 5'6 and weighed around 130lbs at my consultation/surgery. I am pretty slim...not much waist definition, inverted triangle with slightly broader shoulders than hips - narrow hips, skinny legs. I ran a lot before surgery - one half marathon after the other, so I wasn't overweight. Nonetheless, I have... more

Ever since I was 16 I always wanted a way to get rid of the stubborn fat I've gathered around my thighs and hips. I am 24, weighing in at 140. I do moderate exercise, enough to maintain my weight, but I have never been able to get around the extra baggage. I have done A LOT of research regarding liposuction and where to get it for years until I decided to get it on the 13th of October at the... more

So if anyone have important items on their list plz feel free to add to my box.... Thank u ladiesI still haven't had my test done. i think I'm going to wait til the last two weeks of my... more
"Second Time Around for Some Tweaking..."
I had liposuction on my upper and lower abs and outer thighs last year in August. My recovery was great and I love the results. My only regret is that I had too many areas done and therefore the result on my legs was not as great as I would have liked. This time I am concentrating on my inner and outer thighs. more
"Tummy Tuck and Inner Thigh Lipo -..."
After a twin pregnancy almost 15 years ago all my weight loss left that sagging skin there. Finally took up the courage after seeing a friends' tummy tuck. Yes, the scar is from one hip to the other, but I love looking at myself and not seeing that saggy tummy! I also did an inner thigh lipo. This is 1 month PO now. Inner thighs still hurt, and tummy does too. Went back to a desk job on my... more
"Liposuction done on my arms, inner..."
Had my liposuction done on my arms, inner knees, stomach and lower back. My arms looks so much better, also I was able to loose the muffin top that I had acquired. The worst thing was I was nausea following the anesthesia. There was very little bruising and only took the pain pills for 2 days. My clothes fit better and I had tried everything to help with my arms, but I inherited my mothers... more

Measuring Voltage and Current Using a Data Logger
A common data logging application is measuring voltage or current flowing into or out of a piece of equipment. These measurements can be broadly classified into two groups: AC and DC. At CAS DataLoggers we've put together this brief guide covering the basics of voltage and current measurement.
SDI-12: The Technology Behind Smart Sensors
SDI-12 has become the environmental standard of choice for environmental monitoring applications. At CAS DataLoggers weve put together this brief introduction to the SDI-12 standard highlighting the advantages your business or organization can realize from using SDI-12 data loggers and sensors.
The 6 Most Important Parts of a Temperature Monitoring System
You may know that you need a temperature monitoring system but arent sure how to purchase or use one. At CAS DataLoggers weve put together this basic tutorial covering the 6 parts to a typical Temperature Monitoring System so you can choose which is best for your application.
Comparison of Thermal Buffer Effectiveness
Abstract: Experimental data was collected to examine the behavior of RTD probes in various thermal buffers in refrigerator and freezer applications. From the warm-up time vs. temperature curves, a thermal time constant was determined by fitting an exponential line to the data. Also, the behavior of the buffers during typical operation as the refrigeration compressor cycled on and off was observed. Using this data, recommendations on buffers for refrigerators and freezers are made.
Basic Techniques for Accurate Resistance Measurement
At CAS DataLoggers we often receive calls from users working in resistance measurement applications, for example using string pots to measure movement, measuring thermistors/RTDs for temperature, measuring the resistance on test samples, and many more applications. In this white paper, well cover a few simple ways you can reduce error and improve accuracy at the low, mid- and high resistance ranges.
What is The Internet of Things?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a popular phrase for the increasing development and market saturation of Internet-capable physical objects such as appliances and control systems. CAS DataLoggers covers several industry opportunities presented by todays wireless dataloggers including models with new mobile apps which let users remotely monitor temperature and control processes from anywhere.
What is a Data Logger?
What is a datalogger? These products are widely-used measurement and data storage tools that monitor your product or process 24/7. Using a data logger you can keep an eye on temperature, humidity, current/voltage or just about any kind of data. In this article the Application Specialists at CAS DataLoggers walk you through the basics of data loggers and what they can do for your business or organization.
Self-Calibrate Your Thermistors for Higher Accuracy
Technicians and engineers often use thermistors to log temperature in applications which require increased accuracy for more demanding projects. To accomplish this, they use the SteinhartHart equation to get much more precise readings across the sensors temperature ranges. Users most commonly work with it in applications measuring water or machine temperatures. As part of our free tech support, we at CAS Data Loggers often provide help in this area for customers.
Identifying and Reducing Ground Loop Feedback
While grounding can prevent and resolve many power issues, it can also create serious issues of its own. One of the most common problems is known as ground loop feedback--often resulting when different electrical circuits are powering a system and its peripherals. This can also be a seasonal issue as hot dry temperatures can create signal noise for equipment end users, so the Application Specialists at CAS DataLoggers have put together this brief introduction to help reduce o...
Data Logging in Diesel Engine Emissions Control Applications
Recent local, state and federal mandates such as RICE NESHAP require the reduction of harmful emissions (both particulate and NOx) from diesel engines used in off-road equipment, generators and more. After the emissions reduction equipment has been installed, its also necessary to monitor engine performance. Authored by CAS DataLoggers, this paper will review the datalogging requirements for this application, the sensors required, and sensor mounting considerations.

Authentic Gypsy Dray Cart For Sale
I went to the AZ State Dressage Championships yesterday to hang out with my friend Peggy and cheer on her stallion, Eclipse:
Eclipse and Anne did great and placed in their class. He was the only Gypsy competing, and although there seems to be a bit of prejudice on the part of some of the Warmblood crowd against a short stocky horse competing in a sport designed for the lean & lanky, most people loved seeing him there. He definitely draws a crowd, and comparatively is so. much. calmer. than his hot-blooded cohorts, you'd never guess by his demeanor that he is (definitely!) a stallion. Nothing phases him. In fact, Peggy was telling me a story about bathing him in the wash rack at home, when a big branch of her Palo Verde tree broke off with a huge crack, and part of it landed on Eclipse's head. He didn't even flinch; just thought he'd gotten an early lunch delivery and started munching away. That's what makes Gypsy horses so AWESOME. :)
Anywho, I was on my way home and saw a furniture store having a going out of business sale, so I thought I'd check it out. They are one of those places that just buys containers full of stuff from all over the world, and look what they have – an authentic antique gypsy cart! Pretty cool, huh? I couldn't believe it. They have it marked at a stupidly high price and I told the lady they're crazy if they think they're going to get that much for it. But I still think its cool. The real deal.
Personally, I think it's very negotiable. If you are interested, contact me and I will put you in touch with the salesperson.
Here are the pics. Click the images below to go through the slideshow. I tried to get as many shots as I could but just using my iphone in poor lighting makes for less-than-stellar images. Try to look closely, though – there is so much detail, the decorative painting, all kinds of little iron finials, and mechanical parts. It even has the shafts intact. There is some type of writing on the back, but I have no idea what language it is, and the store does not know the country of origin. My guess is Romania. Any guesses? Leave a comment! At any rate, it's interesting just to be able to see a piece of history.
Have a great week! xo Heidi

Pre Settlement Funding in North Carolina
If you or someone you know were severely hurt or killed in a bad car wreck, a fatal motorcycle crash, a slip and fall mishap, dog bites, medical malpractice lawsuits, a work related injury or any of several hundred other personal injury accidents that was not your fault and was triggered by another person's wrecklessness or stupidity and now you're in the middle of a financial tight spot because you are running out of money and could really use some cash now and you can not wait any longer for your case to settle, TriMark Legal Funding LLC can help you from $500 to $500K or more in as little as 1 to 2 business days.
Personal injury victims who were seriously hurt and are neck-deep in an accident lawsuit frequently have problems paying their expenses while they are forced to wait patiently for their settlement arrangements to be concluded. And sometimes, even after their suit settles, injured plaintiffs are forced to wait months or in some cases even years before they receive their cash in-hand.
This is the exact type of situation where legal finance can save you.

Noteworthy facts about North Carolina:
North Carolina is a state in the Southeastern United States. The United States Census Bureau identifies North Carolina as a southern state, in the subcategory of being one of the South Atlantic States.The state borders South Carolina and Georgia to the south, Tennessee to the west, Virginia to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. North Carolina is understood as the Tar Heel State and the Old North State.
North Carolina is made up of 100 counties. North Carolina's 2 biggest cities are amongst the leading 10 fastest-growing in the nation: its capital, Raleigh, and its biggest city, Charlotte. In the previous 5 years, North Carolina's economy has actually gone through a shift from heavy dependence upon tobacco, fabrics, and furniture-making to a more diversified economy with engineering, finance, biotechnology, and energy sectors.
The Piedmont varies from about 300 to 400 feet (91 to 122 m) in elevation in the east to over 1,000 feet (300 m) in the west. Due to the fact that of the quick population development in the Piedmont, a considerable part of the rural location in this area is being changed into suburban areas with shopping centers, housing, and business workplaces.
North Carolina has a broad variety of elevations, from sea level on the coast to 6,684 feet (2,037 m) at Mount Mitchell, the greatest point in the Eastern United States. More than 300 miles (500 km) from the coast, the western, hilly part of the state has a subtropical highland environment.
The western area of the state belongs to the Appalachian Mountain variety. Amongst the subranges of the Appalachians situated in the state are the Great Smoky Mountains, Blue Ridge Mountains, Great Balsam Mountains, and Black Mountains. The Black Mountains are the greatest in the eastern United States, and culminate in Mount Mitchell at 6,684 feet (2,037 m) the acme east of the Mississippi River.
Instantly inland, the seaside plain is fairly flat, with rich soil perfect for growing tobacco, soybeans, melons, and cotton. The seaside plain is North Carolina's a lot of rural area, with couple of huge towns or cities. Agriculture continues to be a vital market.
Since of the greater altitude, the environment in the mountains commonly varies considerably from that of the rest of the state. Winter season in western North Carolina usually includes high snowfall and subfreezing temperature levels more comparable to those of a midwestern state than of a southern state.

The Piedmont area of main North Carolina is the state's most largely inhabited and urbanized area. Little, separated, and deeply worn down mountain varieties and peaks are situated in the Piedmont, consisting of the Sauratown Mountains, Pilot Mountain, the Uwharrie Mountains, Crowder's Mountain, King's Pinnacle, the Brushy Mountains, and the South Mountains.
North Carolina consists of 3 primary geographical areas: the Atlantic Coastal Plain, which inhabits the eastern 45 % of the state; the Piedmont area, which includes the middle 35 %; and the Appalachian Foothills and mountains. Winter season in western North Carolina normally showcases high snowfall and subfreezing temperature levels more similar to those of a midwestern state than of a southern state.

Just finished dinner with my newfound Global Water Partnership friends here on the banks of the Danube ('Duna' in Hungarian and Romanian) River in Budapest.
Here is the entrance to the Hotel Gellért, my home through Thanksgiving (27 November) morning:
It reminds me of my old high school, Chaminade High School, in Mineola, NY. The unpronounceable word at the end means 'Spa Hotel' (or something similar) in Hungarian, which, by the way, is distantly related to Finnish. Budapest is known for ita thermal baths.
And here is the view outside my window: the Danube River:
Strauss the Younger might not find much blue in it these days. Flow is left to right (to the south). The bridge is the Szabadság (Liberty) Bridge. In front of the far bank, just to the left of the bridge, you can discern the white bow of a cruise boat. They look like long barges with a two-story motel slapped on top. Just out of the picture to the left on the west bank is Gellért Hill, a chunk of dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) towering 460 feet (140 meters). Hungary is well-known for its (carbonate) karst (rocks and aquifers, etc.).
When I think of European rivers I think of the Rhine and the Danube. The Danube is the second longest river in Europe, second only to the Volga, which flows into the Caspian Sea. The Danube flows about 1,770 miles (2,850 km) from Germany's Black Forest to the Black Sea. Its drainage basin covers 315,000 square miles (817,000 square kilometers). It flows through four national capitals: Vienna (Austria), Bratislava (Slovakia), Budapest (Hungary), and Belgrade (Serbia). Just north of Budapest, where the Danube Commission is located, the mean flow is about 83,000 cfs (2,400 cms). Farther downstream the average swells to 200,000 cfs (5,600 cms). Big sucker!
Enough about rivers!
This afternoon two of the three new GWP Steering Committee members (Gunilla Björklund and me) had an 'induction' or orientation session. For about 3.5 hours GWP secretariat staff explained the history and workings of the GWP, finances, partners, roles of the various departments and committees, etc. You've got it - GWP A to Z. Ania Grobicki (Executive Secretary), Rudolph Cleveringa (Deputy Executive Secretary), Susanne André (Senior Legal & HR Officer), Catharina Sahlin-Tegnander (Senior Manager, Finance and Administration), Helena Gunnmo-Lind (Executive Assistant), Jacques Rey (Acting Head of Network Operations), and Dr. Mohamed Ait-Kadi (Technical Committe Chair) patiently and thoroughly explained how things work. The fact that a severely jet-lagged WaterWired remained riveted to his chair without dozing (or falling) off attests to the quality of the presentations and presenters.
After the presentations, we were treated to dinner and joined by Dr. Ursula Schaefer-Preuss, Steering Committee Chair,
Tomorrow we start with a full agenda for the next three days.
I'm all in.
Time to sleep.

We enjoyed our stay in the Sanborn Guest Room. It was small and quirkily laid out but not too small, and exceedingly comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. Checkin and checkout went perfectly smoothly and our host was the epitome of politeness. Th neighborhood is one I know well and well worth staying in for its easily accessible restaurants, shops, and general vibe. All in all an excellent experience!
4.4 on January 29, 2015
This is a really nice guest house - private, very comfortable, clean, and with all the amenities. It is situated on a quiet street and the owners are unobtrusive but helpful. There are excellent places to dine within walking distance. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there and recommend it highly. Excellent value.

Our son was going to be starting a semester at Emerson College's Los Angeles campus. We flew out from Boston to help him get settled. Before we left, we researched various hotels close to the campus for our stay. Since we would be renting a car, parking was a concern. We found that most hotels that provided parking seemed to want $40 to $50 a day for that option. We then started to look at guest house alternatives and came upon the Sanborn Guest House. We were glad we found this great deal of an alternative. The rooms (we not only had a bedroom, a sitting room, and a private bath , but we also had use of a fully supplied kitchen!) were very clean and comfortable and felt more like a home than a hotel. Included in the price of the rooms was off street, gated parking. It was also just a 10 minute drive from the Emerson campus. If we have reason to go back to Los Angeles, we would definetly stay here again. Also, it's just down the street from a very funky section (cool stores, coffee shops, eateries, etc.) of town called the Silver Lake region. We would highly recommend the Sanborn Guest House to anyone searching for a relaxing place to stay in Los Angeles.
4.0 on January 09, 2015
OK...for me, this place is perfect. Clean comfortable accommodation, secure parking for small car in the yard. Communal kitchen. Shared shower and washroom....but there are only two units so it is never a problem. WIFI that works perfectly. And just steps from Sunset Junction. Very reasonable rates. Owners are pleasant and helpful....but keep their distance. Indicated dining expectations...but this refers to surrounding area as Sanborn House does not offer breakfast etc. This is the only place I stay when in the Los Angeles area....it is so quiet.

The owner was very accommodating -- we had to check in on the late side and that was ok. The place was comfortable, clean and in a great location in Silver Lake.
4.2 on December 21, 2014
Sanborn Guest House is in a quiet neighborhood just off of Sunset. Close to Hollywood, Los Feliz attractions and a short hop to the freeway. Comfortable room with shared kitchen between the two guest rooms. Complimentary off-street parking. Hosts are accessible but not intrusive.

nice and quiet location. close to sunset strip amenities.

My stay was such an unexpected pleasure. Nobody would suspect that such a place, nestled in the hubbub of a thriving city like Los Angeles, could ever exist. But it does! The charm and quaint nature of the house and property are contagious and I plan on returning to this "haven" whenever my travels take me to California. I might add that the people (Gary and Jaime) who run this establishment are very friendly and accommodating, thus enhancing an already great experience. Thanks again guys! Rich from Florida
4.8 on August 21, 2014
Everything about our stay was just about perfect. The place was clean, nicely decorated, spacious, and comfortable, and the neighborhood is great -- lots of interesting places within walking distance, including a coffee bar that opens at 6 am (expensive but good). I gave "dining" four stars, although, of course, there is no food -- this is not a B&B. But it does have a well-equipped, shared kitchen. Having private parking was another bonus. The owner was extremely nice -- helpful but unintrusive. We'll definitely want to stay there again.

We stayed for two days while visiting family in the immediate area. This was our first visit. The rooms are very comfortable, there was never an issue with getting hold of Gary or Jaime - although for us that was only as we checked in and checked out. We talked with Gary for about an hour before we left, just chatting about the area and our visit and he is a great host, I have no doubt that Jaime would be equally fun to talk with. Normally, we camp at some of the State Parks when we visit LA, but with a shorter time period to visit, we chose to try Sanborn House. It is a great value, the location is hard to beat - there are great restaurants and coffee shops nearby, but if you want to cook, the kitchen facility is perfect. As I said in the title, we will be staying there again!
