How to Make Your Own Fertilizer Tea and Use It
To have a thriving vegetable or flower garden, most plants require a little boost during the growing season. This is partly due to a lack of nutrients and microbes in the soil and also that many plants are actually heavy feeders, requiring some form of fertilizer to do their best. |

Building a Rain Barrel for Next to Nothing
If you are tired of a high water bill it may be time to consider a rain barrel. Over 300 gallons of water can be collected off of a 500 square foot roof with just an inch of rain. That's a lot of water. If estimated rain fall amounts were actualized, you could potentially collect about a thousand gallons of water per year to use on your lawn, garden, houseplants or even to water livestock. |

By: Associated Press
The Transportation Security Administration is recommending that armed law enforcement be present at airport security checkpoints during peak hours after conducting a nationwide review in response to a shooting at Los Angeles International Airport last fall.
The internal report was obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. It is being released to Congress, which will consider the recommendations.
The AP has reported that the two armed officers at the LAX terminal had left for breaks and were out of the terminal. Airport police decided months earlier to have officers roam terminals instead of staffing checkpoints such as the one approached by a gunman.
The shooting killed a TSA screener and wounded three other people.

The current mini boom in home renovation and building in Addison County, Vt., is good news for the owners of Distinctive Paint and Interiors located on Route 7 South in Middlebury.
According to Connie Carroll and Bruce Hier, who started the business together in 2005, local homeowners are much savvier when it comes to selecting paints, tiles, and window treatments than they were just a decade ago. But customers will need to keep up with Carroll and Hier; this dynamic duo are ahead of the trend curves when it comes to meeting and exceeding the needs of todays homespun and commercial decorators.
Thanks to specialty television networks such as HGTV and the Internet, customers have a clear idea about what they want to do inside and outside their homes, said Carroll. Our challenge is to keep up with, and do more for, our customers. We want our customers to buy locally because we have everything they need at competitive prices.
Having just expanded their horizons with a 2,000 square feet addition showcasing tiles, fabrics, wallpapers, blinds and other window treatments, Carroll and Hier now boast one of the best selections of domestic and imported ceramic and glass tilesmany handpainted ones, tooin the state of Vermont. Fabulous tiles from New England, Spain, Italy, England, Mexico and beyond may be purchased there; many are miniature works of old world and new world art.
The Middlebury store displays high quality sundries for tile work, toogrouts, sealers and caulks. While visiting, check out Distinctives selection of domestic (several quarried in Vermont) and imported stones such as granites, travertines, limestones, slates, as well as stunning Danby, Highland and Mariposa marbles.
Carroll sees tile sales zooming locally as homeowners upgrade flooring to include radiant-heating systems. Such heating systems now make luxurious tile floors practical in a northern clime such as ours. Carroll notes that she and Bruce Hier sell radiant-heating timer units that spot heat bathroom and living space floorsyou have to see this unique item to believe it; its one more touch provided by Distinctive Paint and Interiors to make modern living in Vermont an indulgent pleasure regardless of your budget.

Despite being short, this is a fantastic climb. This is one of the few climbs at Seneca where you can safely put up a top rope. Beginning leaders should take care, as the crack does a wild zig zag that requires careful placement of gear to avoid rope drag. |
By K Baumgartner Oct 1, 2012 |
Stiff for the grade. Started at the crack to the left, which I followed up to the horizontal crack to the right that forms the bottom of the "Z". Find placements down low where you can to protect the mid section. Upper "Z" section is quite a ride and protects well. |
By John Ely From: DC Nov 9, 2012 |
CAREFUL placement of gear. About three years back a woman was killed leading this when her gear pulled and she hit her head. It is steep and close to the hard ground. |
By Andy Weinmann From: Alexandria, VA May 6, 2013 rating: 5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a |
Saves its crux for one good punch at the end. Pumpy, but reasonable for Seneca 5.9. |

I've been debating this. Since reloading is meant to lessen or negate dependence of factory ammo, I was thinking of shooting off all my remaining factory ammo first and using the brass to reload after. And then maintain just reloads from then on, keeping zero factory ammo. From there on out, just buy enough factory ammo to replenish any damaged or overused brass.
What percentage of factory ammo vs hand loads do you maintain? And do you stock up on factory ammo; and for what reason?

N.H. issued 162,000 vanity plates
Thursday, July 17, 2014
CONCORD — New Hampshire drivers are in love with vanity plates. In fact, according to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, New Hampshire has the second highest percentage of vanity plates in the country, with 13.99 percent of drivers in the Granite State having vanity plates. According to the Division of Motor Vehicles, there are about 1.5 million automobiles registered in New Hampshire including the 162,000 automobiles with vanity plates.
Also fear-inducing is "CRZYBUS," "EVILMOM," and "JERK." Some of these plates, though, are just odd. "BACON," "ZOMBIE" and "REDNECK" are all taken as well. We'll have to see if these plates can make it through these new guidelines unscathed.

Honda 13 HP engine. Tractor unit only, 33" tiller box sold separately.
Can be used with these attachments: 33" tiller box, 30", 40", or 45" Sickle Bar Mower, 53" Sickle Bar With Oil Bath, 28" Snow Thrower, 36" Dozer Blade, 40" Power Sweeper, Chipper Shredder attachment, and Utility Trailer.
The PowerSafe Models include the Models 740 & 750.
The distinctive characteristic of our Power Safe Series is the new Power Safe clutch system, steering brakes and differential drive.
New for 2012, the 750 BCS tiller has the power you need to run all of our standard attachment, such as a 30" tiller, 53" cutterbars, 38" lawnmowers or even the Rotary Plow, in addition the 750 can power our 33" Heavy Duty Tiller, making this into a tilling monster!.
The unique aspect of the 750 is its integrated quick hitch that allows you to easily connect and disconnect attachments.
The new PowerSafe clutch feature puts a premium on safety, utilizing the latest technology from BCS! It uses a hydraulic clutch assembly, which immediately stops power to the implement when the safety lever is released without shutting down the engine.
The differential drive gives the ability of one tractor wheel to turn faster or slower than the other. This provides "turn-on-a-dime" maneuverability and is a virtual must if you want to mow around individual trees and/or get close to things. Differential drive makes all turning easy, whether it's the tiller at the end of your row, the snow thrower at the end of the driveway, etc.
The steering brakes, when used with the differential, allows for easier steering around obstacles and at the end of your working path, regardless if you are mowing, plowing, tilling, sweeping or what not.

Abandoned Dog Lingers at Burned Down Home After Owner Dies
It caught fire back in December and the home off of Dockberry caught fire again earlier this week, and this time burned all the way to the ground.
The fatal fire back at the end of 2010 took the life of the homeowner, but one resident of the home lingers on the property, the deceased homeowner's dog.
"The people in this place come in here a couple of times a month you know, and somebody gives some water and food al perro (to the dog), somebody leaves after 30-40 minutes, someone only stays for a little while and leaves," says neighbor Omar Aparecio.
She's a chow mix with a fairly content temperament and seems to be getting a long fine living among the charred rubble.
"The city ordinance says that after 24 hours after an animal being unattended, it's considered abandoned, so someone either needs to be on the property or the dog needs to be removed," says Brownsville Animal Control Officer Robert Dippong.
The property off of Dockbery Rd. is technically in the county but the city will respond in rare situations like this one.
Animal shelter officials say the living environment is not quite favorable to her health. With little food, water or appropriate shelter, the dog isn't receiving the type of care she was probably used to back when her owner was alive.
Wednesday animal control officers put a notice on the property letting whoever owns the land know that they need to claim the dog or that she'll be picked up. The notice is good for 24 hours. If the dog is still alone on the property, Thursday at 10 am the officers will come back to pick the dog up; this of course all in hopes of getting the dog into a better home.
"Most likely, in cases like this, we have a lot of rescue groups that come forward and say we'll pick the animal up if no one wants to adopt it," says Dippong.
In the meantime, the animal control officers leave a little something for the dog to tide her over for the day.
"The dog is staying there all the time, he's a good dog, doesn't bother anybody, you know, he's a good dog right there," says Aprecio.
If in fact the dog is picked up Thursday morning, she'll be vaccinated, evaluated over the next 72 hours to make sure she's healthy and adoptable, and then she could be yours. News Center 23 will be following up on the dog's status, you can log back on to our website for that information.

I have searched the site (and Google) and cannot find a working solution for my problem.
I'm using Posabsolute's Validation-Engine, and it is working just fine. Except for my problem children - my CKeditor formatted textareas.
I know that I need to evaluate the textarea using CKEditor.instances.textareaid.updateElement()
, but can't get it to work.
Anyone have any hints/solutions on how to work this? Perhaps there is a setting in the validationEngine.js that I need to override?
Any pointers will be most welcome :)

Props to BarronWade!
He is the winner of my "shirt off my back" draft competition.
Rather than accepting the prize of my throwback Steven Jackson jersey, he has generously decided to donate it to this year's ClanRam Bash raffle (proceeds help run this site).

Long distance Relationships encourage couples to become better communicators and as a result enjoy more intimate lovemaking.
- Leslie Karsner, PhD, author of The Long Distance Romance Guide and Long Distance Lovemaking
From the desk of Leslie Karsner, PhD
Dear Long Distance Lovers:
It's a fact: Long Distance Romances create Great Relationships!
And now your long distance relationship is about to become even better than you thought possible.
When you're in love life is wonderful.
But what about when your lover is away?
Doesn't your heart long for your lover's touch, or that special look that make your heart pound?
Isn't it almost heart-breaking to spend time away from the one you love so much?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then you've come to the right place.
If you're sitting there right now longing for your lover, paining for their return, I've got good news:
You're about to discover how the time you spend apart can be just as satisfying and even more exciting than when you're together.
Make sense?
Most lovers think so. In fact, it's what most lovers want more than anything else probably what you want most right now.
And the only question remains, "How do you do it?" right?
You see, for years I have been coaching clients in long distance relationships who have struggled with being away from the one they love most.
Some of my most romantically challenged clients were those who spent their time apart pining away for their lover.
Let me ask you:
Most people say YES to two or more of these common questions. Chances are, you have too.
In fact, I answered yes myself.
But that was over 5 years ago.
Five years ago I lived more than 3 hours from the love of my life. Our time apart was spent wishing we were together.
Five years ago, I wasted hours and days longing to be with my love, feeling lonely when we were apart. Believe me when I say I know firsthand the frustration and longing that comes with being away from your lover.
So five years ago I set out to create a plan to turn our time apart into what I now call extended foreplay.
I wanted to enjoy every day that I was in love, and so should you.
You are so fortunate to have someone in your life that loves and adores you even when they're away.
There's no time to sit around being sad and lonely.
So let's celebrate your love. I'm going to show you how. But before I do that take a moment right now to receive my gift of some free love tips to help bridge the distance...

Despite never playing NT, Al Woods overtakes Taamu on depth chart
May 29th, 2013
The Steelers used a fourth-round pick on Alameda Taamu a year ago, but it appears that the team is interested in another fourth-round pick to spell first-year starter Steve McLendon at nose tackle this year Al Woods.
The Steelers moved Woods a 2010 fourth-round pick of New Orleans out of LSU from defensive end to nose tackle for the start of organized team activities last week, and has aligned 6-foot-4, 307-pounder with the second-team so far.
I welcome it and am thankful that I am getting a shot to play all three, said Woods, who was released three times in 14 months during his first year in the league.
Woods played in 10 games last year for the Steelers at defensive end, but got on the field for only 30 snaps while playing behind Brett Keisel, Ziggy Hood and Cameron Heyward.
The Steelers coaching staff approached Woods during the offseason about working him at a thin nose tackle position that featured McLendon as the starter along with Taamu and Loni Fangupo who have seven career snaps between them. The Steelers decided not to re-sign veteran nose tackle Casey Hampton.
I am working all three positions, Woods said. Coach wants me to work all three positions so thats what I am doing. I am just trying to help the team out anyway I can.
Woods is very athletic for his size but has to show that he can hold up to the constant double teams by centers and guards. Woods said quickly realized one big difference in playing nose compared to end.
Your reaction has to be faster, Woods said. Things down there, especially with a good center like Pouncey, happen real quick so you have to be fast.
Woods said he has yet to take many snaps in OTAs at defensive end which means that it is likely that the staff would love to have him as a swing nose/end during game days to be able to provide more flexibility with the game day roster.
I am listening to my coaches and when I go home, I am staying in my book trying to stay a day ahead, Woods said. I am trying to get comfortable with it so I dont have to think about it and I just react to it.
And as Mike Tomlin always says the more you can do.
Moving around
Steelers nose tackle/defensive end has been shipped all around the league since being a fourth-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2010.
April, 27, 2010 New Orleans draft Al Woods in the fourth round
Sept. 4, 2010 New Orleans release Woods
Sept. 8, 2010 Steelers sign Woods to their practice squad
Nov. 3, 2010 Tampa Bay signs Woods to its 53-man roster
Sept. 3, 2011 Tampa Bay releases Woods
Sept. 4, 2011 Seattle signs Woods to its 53-man roster
Nov. 8, 2011 Seattle released Woods
Nov. 9, 2011 Steelers sign Woods to their 53-man roster
Pittsburgh Steelers Sig Mock Draft:

But the record isn't a downer. The rollicking two-stepping tunes, "Things I Once Adored," "Down The Line," "Unholy Train," and "Finger the Pie," are sprinkled throughout, adding a live energy without overwhelming the more introspective work. The fuzzy guitar, two-four bass, and incessant snare drum of "Down the Line" are pure Saturday night honky-tonk, and a quick, pick-up blast. This tonal mix has been mined by Lone Justice, the Geraldine Fibbers, Emmy Lou Harris, and Lucinda Williams. But there's always room for one more set of heartfelt songwriters in that club.
-- David Simutis
Martin Sexton
The American
On this audacious major-label debut, the Boston songwriter takes Americana on a cross-country joy ride. The title track, with its weepy pedal steel and slinky castanets, manages to weave Western swing and bossa nova without a seam showing. "Love Keep Us Together" weds Sexton's supple tenor to a juicy R&B riff, while "My Maria" weaves sinewy guitars around a gospel chorus composed of, well, Sexton, Sexton, and Sexton.
Aside from drumming duties, which he wisely leaves to Joe Bonadio, Sexton provides most of the sound here, and his ability to bridge genres is a testament as much to his clever orchestration of guitar, bass, and various organs (pipe, prairie, Hammond) as it is to the durability of his melodies.
The real draw here, though, is Sexton's voice, which sweetly croons and soars into brilliant falsetto passages. ("The Way I Am" showcases his pipes: In the space of a minute, his voice assumes the shape of a lost troubadour, a crusty old drunk, and a squeezebox.) The incandescent "Candy" breaks my heart every time I hear it, then mends it all over again.
Best album of the year so far. By a mile.
-- Steve Almond

the problem with op's point is that the majority of gamers are guys so duh theyre going to cater to guys more.
We need a champ like this ! She could be a great tank :P
damnit lol...i took a few hours on my post and it just got lost in the thread. I really don't think the complaints are justified. i understand the lack of variety but the complaints and overall generalizing the girl lol players thoughts on the matter are lame and are by no standard correct
Marcian Tobay
Let's kill three birds with one stone. A black woman melee'ing it up! Who's with me?
Hey, where's the ****storm after each post i make its like you guys don't even know who i am
Sivir isn't (and shouldn't be) armored, because she used to depend on dodge, your ability to dodge decreases as you put on more armor/clothing. This is slightly represented with her current passive, where she can run faster while fighting (similiar to how the dodge mastery gave her movespeed on dodge procs, I really miss that). Otherwise, aside from skins (which I don't count), I only have a problem with Akali, there is no reason a ninja with boobs that large should dress like that. Akali's large boobs aren't a problem themselves, but if a ninja had large boobs, she would either bind and cover them for stealth and combat reasons, or would use them to distract and/or seduce. Akali dresses wrong for a female large-boob ninja. Her skins are fine. And Sejuani.. She's from freljord, it's normal to be under-dressed there, look at Trynd. BAM, equal styles.
Can we expect or are you interested in a female monster some time next season? Right now only Anivia counts as a true monster that happens to be female. The closest to an Anivia is Shyvana or Nidalee, but that's only really when they transform. You have yordles who break the mold of females, but outside of that, all females follow suit of attractive, distinct females. I know this isn't what people are talking about, but it might be an idea in the same direction. I feel like Sejuani was close to being a somewhat barbaric, yet still attractive and reserved female. The "Sabretusk Sejuani" is what her classic garb should've embodied imo, because it's revealing without having that beach bikini vibe.

Should I stir my fermentor before racking into my bottling bucket, then stir again before bottling? And how do I get the hose going?
I wouldn't stir before racking into the bottling bucket as that will get a lot of yeast and trub back into suspension. Stirring, in a smooth, gentle, motion so as not to aerate the beer, after racking onto your priming sugar solution should ensure that the priming solution is evenly distributed throughout the batch. I take it you don't have an autosiphon. If you have a bucket of sanitising solution sitting around just put the hose in there and let it fill up, say slightly above half way, then put the end with most air into the fermenter, keeping the other end closed off with a sanitized finger and below the level of the fermenter. When you're ready to start racking, put the top end of the hose into your fermenter, release the bottom end over the container of sanitizing solution and the solution will start to flow out, pulling beer into the upper end of the tube. After all the sanitizing solution has flowed out, close off the end of the hose with your finger again, or very quickly place the end of the hose in the bottom of the bottling bucket so the beer swirls around rather than splashes from a height. BTW, here's a video that might make up for my crappy explanation

Lindale plans to open retail center
Arp, Texas (KETK) — East Texas developer Thedford Crossing and the Lindale Economic Development Corporation are working together to bring their vision of a new retail center, to life. The center will include multiple retail stores, a bowling alley and a movie theatre.
"The theatre entertainment center is the anchor for the project, it will be the first thing built, or will be built," said John Clary, President of the Lindale Economic Development Corporation.
City manager Craig Lindholm says that having these new options in town will be great for the Lindale community.
"Entertainment having more options, whether they want to go out to eat, more options, shopping, all of those are very positive things, very wonderful things for a community," said Lindholm.
The plans for the center are in their early stages. An agreement between the economic development corporation and attorneys must be made. Then, the proposition goes through Lindale city council.
Lindholm added, "At that point in time, if the developers are in agreement with it, if the economic development corporation is in agreement with it, and if the city council approves it, then we can move forward with the project, but we can't move forward with the project until then."
If the retail center proposal does advance, it is expected to be a great economic asset to the region.
"It could be a tremendous boom to the local economy but also to the regional economy," said Lindholm.

Suzanne Shearer of PhatSheep in Scotland sent me some beautiful images of her work today, she's totally going on my list of resources for textiles. You can see why…
The talented Suzanne is a mom and a textile designer, she blogs, and she runs her studio out of her home in Scotland. How's that for girl power?! I enjoy her simple clean aesthetic and I like seeing plum, lavender, and turquoise living together in some of her prints so nicely, like on this duck tote below. I know Suzanne doesn't need tips from me, but I totally see her extending some of these patterns into homewares, like pillow covers, table linens, etc. because I think they'd be a big hit. And did you notice her seaweed scarf? It's amazing.
If there's something here that you like it's painless to purchase from her to because, surprise surprise, she's not some remote store in the corner of Scotland, her business is on Etsy in addition to her website and such. She'll also ship worldwide, another perk. I'm not sure why I've not heard of PhatSheep before, she's been on Etsy since May and I would think someone with this level of talent would have been blogged to death by now. Well, time to change things because her creations deserve our attention so spread the word ya'll.

I think this should be called the budget find of the month, the Neighborhood bedspread designed for Urban Outfitters by the talented Julia Rothman. So in addition to her mug, you can have a $32 bedspread with more cheery house imagery on it. It's cotton, so in case you don't need a bedspread just view it as a large piece of fabric with limitless options. Maybe a smock for painting? A shower curtain? An ottoman cover? Sofa throw? Cover a headboard in a kid's room? Cover a cork board?
One of these babies yields fabric sized 108″l x 90″w. It's great seeing designers we know through blogs getting gigs with such big names like Anthro and Urbans. So congrats Julia – great gig, great work!

Color! Color! Color! Ethnic Chic is one of my favorite shops in Amsterdam (located at Runstraat 24) for exotic new and vintage textiles for the home. They have colorful bedspreads from Italian designer Lisa Corti, rich tablecloths from Indonesia, intricately painted lamps from Venice, and until now you could only shop them if you visited their Amsterdam location. Not anymore…
Just today they've rolled out a new web shop. Bookmark them if you're in the market for some ethnic treasures, they have some really unusual and lovely things in this store.
Oh and if you plan to hit Amsterdam at some point, bookmark this, it's a guide to the "nine streets" and it's a great one.

Political relations
Relations between Palau and Germany are good and amicable. Bilateral relations date back to the period of German colonial administration between 1899 and 1914 which, however, has left barely any mark, apart from some architectural vestiges of phosphate plants on Angaur Island and the name of a waterway (German Channel). In October 2005, the Palau National Museum opened a small department devoted to Germany.
Diplomatic relations were established on 11 November 1997. The German Ambassador in Manila/Philippines is also accredited to Palau. Germany is also represented in Palau by an Honorary Consul.
Palau also receives support through German development cooperation and humanitarian clearance of unexploded ordnance left over from the Second World War. Island states like Palau, the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia are particularly threatened by the effects of climate change. In 2006, the three countries' presidents and the heads of government of the Micronesian U.S. territories signed the Micronesia Challenge with the aim of protecting 30 per cent of near-shore marine resources and 20 per cent of terrestrial resources across Micronesia by 2020. As part of its International Climate Initiative, the Federal Government is supporting these efforts through development cooperation projects.
Economic relations
Bilateral trade relations are very modest. In 2013, German imports from Palau were worth EUR 116,000 and German exports to Palau approximately EUR 40,000. However, Germans make up a relatively large portion of the tourists visiting Palau, many of whom are attracted by the wide range of diving opportunities available there.
In terms of development policy, Germany is involved on a modest scale through Technical Cooperation microprojects. It does, however, provide substantial support for European Union development projects in Palau through its contributions to the EU. The Federal Foreign Office supports the disposal of mines and munitions left over from the Second World War, which are still being discovered on the Palauan archipelago, through the Australian NGO Cleared Ground Demining.
Cultural relations
The so-called "Krämer" volumes from the German South Seas Expedition (1907-1910) undertaken by the German navy physician, anthropologist and ethnographer August Krämer (1864-1941) continue to be of topical relevance: the records contained in the five volumes are still recognised today by Palau's courts as the only authentic source in tribal disputes or disputes over property. In the absence of official national or other written records, the "Krämer" records constitute the codified memory of Palauan culture and identity, which are under threat from the modern way of life. Over the period 2010-2012, the German Embassy provided a total of EUR 48,800 under the Federal Foreign Office's Cultural Preservation Programme to fund the translation of the records into English. In May 2014, the German Ambassador officially presented the translation to Palau's President and other political and cultural dignitaries.
In 2013, the German Embassy in Manila once again participated in the EU Film Festival in Koror, which was held for the fifth time in October 2013, by submitting a German film.

Zuki sidekick with 16v. Mech. opinions needed!
Lady bought with 30k miles. Now has 106k. Was driving last week and it overheated so she brought it to shop. Radiator was empty and the thing still ran perfectly. They replaced upper and lower hoses, thermostat, flushed and re-filled coolant and then told her she may have to replace headgasket as they saw oil and coolant mixing. (what kills me is that they hosed her and charged her $375 for this work that was obviously not needed if the other problem existed!) So I bought the vehicle. Upon inspection I noticed that rad was empty and she was surprised to hear that. Vehicle started up and ran perfectly and did not stumble at all. I filled up with coolant and made sure there weren't any air bubbles in system. Drove home and ran like a top. Checked coolant and it was empty again! Was not burning a single drop nor was it leaking anywhere even when the engine was under load. I filled a little more when I discovered that crankcase was filling up with coolant!!!! Now my tech question is this....Problem was before possible headgasket failure as coolant was already disappearing into crankcase which caused initial overheating. Also...there isn't any pressure whatsoever in coolant system. knowing those two things....how do you think the coolant is getting into the crankcase? Any and all suggestions are appreciated! I really want to fix this thing due to the fact that it is actually in cherry condition!!

In the digital world of skating video games, there are two contenders. EA's Skate franchise which has a sequel coming out next year and Tony Hawk, a franchise that has kinda lost its luster over the years. Recognizing this, the Skate 2 devs are adamant about not being like Mr. Hawk.
Talking with MTV Multiplayer, Skate 2 associate producer Shaun Laker made it clear that they aren't going down the same path that the Tony Hawk franchise did, avoiding such fate by simply listening to their community. "As long as we keep putting out great games and don't rush it out and polish it and make sure we're listening to the community and hearing what they're having to say [we will avoid that]," explained Laker, adding "we listen to the community and know what they're asking for and respond to that."
Keeping a franchise fresh by listening to a game's passionate community, implementing changes and serving up a polished product. Who would have thought something like that would work?

Experimental observation of polarized electroluminescence from edge-emission organic light emitting devices
We have observed a strongly polarized edge-emission from an organic light emitting device(OLED) with a siliconanode and a stacked Sm/Au (or Ag)cathode. For the OLED with a Sm/Au cathode, the transverse magnetic (TM) mode is stronger than the transverse electric (TE) mode by a factor of 2, while the polarization ratio of TM:TE is close to 300 for that with a Sm/Ag cathode. The polarization results from the scattering of surface plasmon polaritons at the device boundary. Such a silicon-based OLED is potentially an electrically excited SPP source in plasmonics.

This is the information for the Class of 2108. Updated information for the Class of 2019 will be published in spring 2015.
August 31 - September 5
Making friends to start the next four years at Princeton is what the Outdoor Action (OA) Frosh Trips are all about. Princeton University invites you to join us in our 41st annual Frosh Trip Program. Each year more than half of the incoming freshmen class starts their Princeton experience with the Frosh Trip. With that many students, we will have an incredible cross-section of the diversity of the Class of 2018—students of all backgrounds from across the U.S. as well as international students from over 37 countries. This diversity is one of the many things that makes OA trips so unique. Being in a small group with 8–10 of your new classmates that is led by 2–3 upperclass leaders provides a great atmosphere for developing group co-operation and close friendships. You will learn an incredible amount about this group of people by living and traveling with them each day. You will learn all about life at Princeton from your leaders and make a great new set of friends. The friends you'll make in your group are just the beginning. You'll meet other freshmen who went on Frosh Trip, their roommates and friends, your Leaders' friends and roommates, etc. All of this starts with a fantastic six–day outdoor trip. You don't need any previous outdoor experience to participate, which is why so many freshmen come on the trip. OA is a perfect first adventure in the outdoors. |
What do Participants Say"The OA trip was, by far, both the most relaxing and challenging way to begin meeting new people and making this new place our home…I didn't want it to end." "The trip was as great as it was hyped up to be. I was in a group with a real mix of people, some of whom had hiking experience and others of whom hadn't. Some of us were loud and some quiet. The point is that we were all different, but we meshed together perfectly. I couldn't havehad more fun with 12 other people." "Although I'm not an outdoor girl, I loved the trip. I loved the people. I loved the whole experience. Would I do it again? In a second." |
Don't miss out. Join us for Frosh Trip 2014! |
"I feel so ready to start Princeton with ten new friends, although the trip made me want to just continue to hike together rather than start work…" "My OA trip was simply a fantastic way to meet people because it forced all of us to open up and be who we really are. The experience far surpassed my expectations." "Going all those miles with a backpack on, reaching 2,060 ft., seeing heaven-like views, all give one a sense of awe and accomplishment. Before this trip I wouldn't have imagined that I could ever do all of this." "I think it is a great program. I got to know my group really well—and the leaders were the best. It was the perfect way for me to start off Princeton life." "I think the trip was the best thing that could have happened to me. I learned more about myself and Princeton and got to know ten terrific people. It made the transition of coming to college a whole lot easier." "Our leaders were very organized and knowledgeable. They became a part of the group rather than a separate entity and allowed us to accept a lot of responsibility. I learned a lot and enjoyed their advice about Princeton." "I cannot tell you how glad I am that I participated in OA. I've made some really great friendships. It was a wonderful way to be introduced to Princeton and I would strongly recommend it to EVERYONE!!" |
A Day on OA Rolling out of your cozy sleeping bag into the crisp morning air, you leave the tarp that kept you warm and dry last night. After a hearty breakfast you pack up and head out. Each day brings new vistas along the trail or the river. Lunch might be a chance to talk about how you spent your summer or learn about what life is like at Princeton. Several miles and a few rest stops later, you get to that night's campsite. Everyone helps set up camp and you can show off your culinary skills cooking dinner. After a relaxed evening discussion and games around the campfire as the stars shine overhead, you crawl into your sleeping bag for a good night's rest. |
Trip ActivitiesThe Frosh Trip offers a range of different activities. We will place you on a trip appropriate to your physical fitness level. Backpacking trips will hike anywhere from 6–10 miles a day (~5–8 hours). You will hike in one of a number of wilderness areas such as: the plateaus of central Pennsylvania, the crags of the Catskills in New York, the scenic Appalachian Trail in Connecticut, Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, or the summits of the Green Mountains in Massachusetts and Vermont. Most Frosh Trips are all-backpacking. (~50 trips) Backpacking & Canoeing trips combine three days of hiking and three days of canoeing. You will cover anywhere from 6–10 miles hiking a day (~5–8 hours) or 8–15 miles canoeing per day (~4–8 hours). The trips explore the quiet flatwater or easy whitewater on the Delaware River in New York and New Jersey and backpack on the Appalachian Trail. (5 trips)
Base Camp & Community Service trips are an option if you prefer to experience the outdoors while staying in one location. Groups camp out in a state park campground for the week. You will spend several days exploring the park through easy day hikes and two days working on an environmental service project in the park. Bathrooms are available at the campground. (5-10 trips) Base Camp & Outdoor Adventure are an option for those who prefer to experience the outdoors while staying in one location. You can try out a range of outdoor activities while staying at a rustic summer camp in northern New Jersey. Your group will get to try different outdoor experiences on the camp property and the nearby Appalachian Trail including day hikes, rappelling, high ropes course, and a trail restoration service project. Participants camp outside and cook outdoors. Bathrooms are available at the camp. (5 trips) |
Backpacking & Rock Climbing trips trips combine backpacking and one or two days of rock climbing. You will hike from 6–10 miles a day (~5–8 hours) on the Appalachian Trail. 1–2 days will be spent at a climbing site learning basic rock climbing techniques. (6 trips) Canoeing trips travel anywhere from 8–20 miles per day (~4–8 hours) and range from quiet water canoeing on the lower Delaware River in New Jersey to easy whitewater canoeing on the upper Delaware in New York. Each night you will camp along the river in state parks or private campgrounds. (2 trips) Bike Touring trips will explore back roads on the Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Canal and the Great Allegheny Passage–recreational bike paths in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Participants will bike 30-50 miles per day (~4–8 hours). Each night you will camp along the trail in state parks or private campgrounds. Bikes provided by OA. (2-4 trips) Sustainable Farming trips will spend the week at a local organic farm and help with daily work while learning about the importance of local food. From picking vegetables, to baking bread, to planting new crops, you'll experience first-hand the life of a small organic farmer, and learn about how growing and eating locally enhances the environmental health of a community. (2-4 trips) Nature & Spirituality trips bring students of all backgrounds together on easy backpacking trips which explore human interaction with the natural world and how nature is reflected in different spiritual traditions. Students will explore how different religious traditions connect with nature through discussion, nature exploration, meditation and yoga. (1-2 trips) Wilderness & Civilization explore the complex ways humans interact with, impact, and preserve fierce and delicate wilderness areas. As we hike through some of the most extraordinary landscapes of the Northeast, we'll learn about conservation and natural history in the wild. Participants will have the opportunity to become Leave No Trace Trainers and develop the skills to teach others about Leave No Trace techniques and principles. (1-2 trips) |
Frosh Trip FAQ Q: Who participates? A: Anyone and everyone. Last year over 55 percent of the incoming class (712 students) participated on 85 different trips. This included students from across the United States and around the world. The OA Frosh Trip is the oldest and largest preorientation program at Princeton and the single largest outdoor orientation program in the U.S. Q: What if I have never been camping before? A: Don't worry, most of our participants haven't camped before and soon discover that they really enjoy the experience of hiking and camping as a group. Your trip leaders will teach you all the basic skills you will need to be comfortable in the outdoors. Q: What about Financial Aid? A: If you are receiving need-based University scholarship funds your cost for the Outdoor Action trip is fully subsidized. The trip fee is covered by funding from the Office of Financial Aid. |
Q: Do I need any special equipment? A: OA provides all the group camping equipment and can provide backpacks and sleeping bags to those who need them. You will need to bring personal clothing and lightweight hiking boots. A detailed equipment list is on the OA Web site and will be mailed to you in July. Q: What kind of shape do I need to be in? A: OA offers trips at many different fitness levels from easy, to moderate, to strenuous. You tell us what you would be most comfortable with and we will place you in the most appropriate trip for you based on the information in your application form. We encourage everyone to engage in some type of regular physical activity in preparation for the trip. Q: What kind of training do OA Leaders have? A: All OA leaders complete a rigorous training program that includes backpacking skills, wilderness first aid, leadership, and group dynamics. The OA Leader Training Program is one of the most extensive and emulated of any college outdoor program. The OA Leader Handbook, The Backpacker's Field Manual, published by Random House has sold more than 150,000 copies worldwide. Outdoor Action Program |

(KMOV.com) – Authorities said they have arrested two suspects in connection with a March murder in north St. Louis.
Police said they arrested Darius Hamell and Lonisha Cummings, both 17, for the death of Alicia Miller. Authorities allege they killed Miller in the 2500 block of Hodiamont in March. Miller died in April.
Hammell has been charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action. Cummins has been charged with second degree murder and armed criminal action.
