As your MP over the last few years I've always worked hard with the whole community – regardless of politics – to get things done.
Working together, we have achieved many successes – like building the new Pembury Hospital, dualling the A21 between Tonbridge and Pembury, the North Farm traffic improvements that are now underway, and getting the old Cinema demolished, which had become such an eyesore.
There's much more to do, and below I set out my 8 Point Plan for our community for the next five years. With your support, together we can make our wonderful corner of Kent better still.
- Further improve our roads including dualling the next stage of the A21 from Blue Boys to Lamberhurst and improving safety and traffic flow on the A228 over Colts Hill.
- Improve our local Mental Health service (especially for young people), Stroke service and care for people with Alzheimer's.
- Get better value train fares, including flexible tickets for part-time workers.
- Make our area more cycle-friendly.
- Control the aircraft noise which has increased in some parts of our area.
- Upgrade mobile phone and broadband coverage, especially in our rural areas.
- Strengthen our town and village centres – including getting a top quality building on the old Cinema site, a re-opened hall and theatre in Southborough, and action on flooding in Paddock Wood, Five Oak Green and the villages.
- Back young people so that every young person can get a good place in a good school; can get a great apprenticeship, job, college or Uni place; and can get onto the housing ladder locally.
This site was established while I was a Member of Parliament. As Parliament has been dissolved there are no Members of Parliament until after the Election on 7 May 2015.

What are Plasmids?
An introduction to Plasmids.
Edited by: Georg Lipps read more ...An up to date treatment of the structure, function and application of plasmids with a part-icular emphasis on current and future trends. |
Most cells contain at least one chromosome but some cells also contain an additional DNA element or elements called plasmids. Plasmids are DNA molecules, generally circular, which can replicate in bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic cells. They take advantage of the cellular environment of the cell but can also carry a rich diversity of genes which can be beneficial for the cell. Some plasmids confer the ability to degrade organic compounds and to fix nitrogen. Other plasmids carry antibiotic resistance genes and their spread in pathogenic bacteria is of great medical significance. Plasmids are used in molecular studies of various organisms and are important in many branches of biology, medicine, ecology and evolution as well as basic research in microbiology, molecular biology and structural biology. (Reference: Plasmids: Current Research and Future Trends ISBN: 978-1-904455-35-6)Recommended reading on plasmid biology at Plasmid biology and current topics on microbiology research at the Microbiology Blog

New Potato Rendang & Green Beans Recipe
Jan 15, 2012 2:01 pm
A delicious vegan curried side dish or small plate
Add some Malaysian flavors to your life with this addictively spicy potato experience. Rendang is a special kind of curry in which a main ingredient is slowly cooked in spicy coconut milk until the sauce is deeply reduced. Tender new potatoes absorb the spice-infused coconut sauce and cook down to lush, citrusy perfection.
Servings: 4
1 large red Fresno chili, seeded
1/4 cup shallot, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and minced
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 lemon, zested
1 lime, zested
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon cloves, ground
1 cup coconut milk
1 pound fingerling or new potatoes, halved
4 ounces green beans, trimmed
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 teaspoon tamari, or soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
- In a coffee grinder or mini chopper, combine the chile, shallot, ginger, garlic, lime and lemon zests, turmeric and cloves. Process to puree them to a smooth paste. If needed, add a little of the coconut milk to help it puree.
- Transfer the paste to a large frying pan, and stir in the coconut milk. Add the potatoes and bring them to a simmer, stirring. Cover and check often, stirring and adding water as needed to keep the potatoes from sticking.
- When the potatoes are almost tender, add the beans, carrot, tamari, and salt and keep stirring.
- Cook until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is completely thick and coats the vegetables.
- Squeeze half of the zested lime over the vegetables, taste, and add more as desired. Serve hot.

Another Chinese navigation satellite launched into orbit BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: July 26, 2011 Launching in a torrential rain and lightning storm, a Long March rocket lifted off Tuesday from southwest China and successfully released a navigation satellite in orbit, state-run media reported.
The blastoff was at 5:44 a.m. local time and occurred amid heavy rain and lightning, Xinhua reported. The 17-story rocket was aiming for an elliptical orbit stretching from about 100 miles altitude to about 22,000 miles above Earth, where the launcher's third stage was supposed to deploy a Beidou navigation and positioning spacecraft. The launch was a success, according to the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. The satellite will circularize its orbit at an altitude of about 22,000 miles and an inclination of 55 degrees, putting the craft in range of users in polar regions. It was the ninth operational Beidou satellite launched since 2007 and the second Chinese navigation payload shot into orbit this year. More satellites will be launched through 2012 to expand the Beidou network's coverage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The Beidou satellite network will eventually consist of 35 spacecraft in orbit providing global navigation and positioning coverage by 2020.
The best service will be available to Chinese military and civil government users. Positioning information with an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 33 feet, will be released to the public worldwide. Tuesday's blastoff was the fifth Chinese space launch this year after missions that delivered other navigation, communications and military research payloads to orbit. China is scheduled to launch its first human-tended orbital laboratory by the end of September, followed soon after by a robotic Shenzhou capsule that will attempt an automated docking, the first for China's human space program. Chinese astronauts will lift off next year to visit the mini-space station. Other upcoming space missions for China include the launch of a piggyback probe on Russia's Phobos-Grunt mission to Mars. The Chinese launch manifest also calls for flights of more navigation, communications and research payloads. |

Logo for art/engineering project
Closed - This job posting has been filled.
Job Description
Simple logo needed for an art/engineering project at this year's burning man festival.
Description of the project:
A climbing (bouldering) wall with computer controlled lights (LEDs) embedded into the holds. http://toddthahn.com/outdoors/clim
The logo should look good on the web, and should be simple enough that it is spray paintable with a stencil. Monochromatic or 2-color. We will need all the original files (eg. the svg).
Ideas/icons related to the project, that you could base a logo off of:
climbing (including top rope gear)
burning man (eg. https://www.google.com/search?q=bu
LEDs, anything related to electricity, or lights
The name of the group is ikea-lisp-code (ikea as in the furniture store, and lisp as in the programming language), or ILC. The name of the project is Flash ILC, though that is probably too many letters for a simple design.
Your application should contain a link to a portfolio of some prior work. Evidence of nerdiness (eg. maybe you latex all your reports, maybe you know what LED stands for off the top of your head) a plus.

Pacers Pulse
Last updated 11/19/14
It's been a pretty disgusting season thus far if you are a Pacers fan, and last year's miracle run to the second round appears to have been a fluke.Granted, it's probably still too early to write off this team, but the signs have rarely been worse. On Tuesday, they scored just 72 points in a loss against the Raptors, and this was after managing to hold the Raptors to just 5 points in the 4th quarter. Today, the lost by 14 to the Bucks, and this was after being down by 29 points after the 3rd quarter.There are too many problems to know where to begin. Frank Vogel is known as a coach who preaches "smashmouth basketball", but now his team is just being smashed in the mouth. The motivational tactics that worked so well last season don't appear to be working anymore, and one has to wonder if Vogel is on the hotseat after this horrendous 3-6 start. And it's not just the record either -- it's the way this Pacers team has been playing. Yes, they don't have Danny Granger, but it's no excuse ...

Why ads?By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.6
The 2012 Honda Civic is the all-new, ninth-generation version of the country's best-selling compact car and third-best-selling car overall. Offering a unique combination of affordability, reliability and refinement, the Honda Civic has long been a gold standard not just for the category, but for personal transportation in general. Its dominance is in decline, though, as evidenced by our most recent compact sedan comparison test in which the 2012 Honda Civic tied for first place with the ultra-stylish new Hyundai Elantra. The Honda Civic does remain the clear leader in variety, with a wide-ranging lineup that includes sedan and coupe body styles, a 201-horsepower sporty Civic Si version, a 45-mpg Civic hybrid variant, and a limited-availability natural-gas-powered version.
If you appreciate mechanical refinement similar to what you might find in a commercial airliner, the 2012 Honda Civic is the clear choice in the category. And even if you don't easily discern such qualities, just-right steering and pedal feel are the kinds of qualities that quietly contribute to long-term driving satisfaction.
The 2012 Honda Civic is neither as sporty nor as stylish as the Mazda3 or Ford Focus, the interior design isn't as interesting as the Hyundai Elantra's, and it isn't the smoothest or quietest car in the class.
The all-new-for-2012 Honda Civic is instantly familiar inside and out, with key changes comprising increased fuel economy, more refined driving dynamics and enhanced infotainment abilities. The Civic hybrid is now more fuel efficient, the Civic Si is more powerful and there's the new mileage-maxing 2012 Civic HF that delivers 41 highway mpg.
Driving Impressions The 2012 Honda Civic is not the smoothest or quietest car in the category. Nor is it the most fun to drive. Curious, then, that we'd rate it tops in...
driving dynamics in our shootout of the four newest cars in the category. How does it do it? With the help of steering and pedal response that other automakers could only dream of delivering. It's easy to overlook excellence in these areas, but just as driving feel is a big part of the magic in a Porsche, the way the Civic gracefully listens and responds to a driver's input is a key reason we consider the 2012 Honda Civic the connoisseur's compact sedan.Bluetooth Audio
We like being able to listen to the music on our iPhone without having to plug it in, and the Civic's Bluetooth Audio system is notable for how quickly it connects and begins playing.
i-MID Display
Standard in all but the base Civic DX trim is a new five-inch LCD monitor that provides music and mileage info, plus Bluetooth and navigation info when equipped.
If the 2012 Honda Civic has an Achilles' heel, it's the interior styling. Everything works wonderfully, but the design, textures and materials put its visual appeal in the bottom half of the segment, behind new and newly relevant nameplates like Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus and Chevy Cruze.
Just when observers thought Honda might unleash the most expressive Civic yet - as an answer to the bold new Hyundai Elantra attracting so much attention – the even-keeled automaker instead delivered the most evolutionary Civic redesign ever. It's hard to argue against sticking to a styling strategy that's helped keep the Civic at or near the top of the sales charts for many years running.
The 2012 Honda Civic starts at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $16,555 (including destination) for a Civic DX, but that's with no radio, no air conditioning and no power mirrors or door locks. Stepping up to the Civic LX remedies those shortcomings and nets a few other goodies for an extra $2,000, but an automatic transmission will set you back another $800. The Honda Civic's myriad active and passive safety technologies are included as standard equipment across the line. The EX and EX-L models sit at the top of the 2012 Civic's non-hybrid, non-natural-gas pyramid, with the Si coupe and sedan covering performance side of the street.
A 2012 Honda Civic EX-L with Navigation has an MSRP at $24,225 and includes leather seats (heated front), a moonroof, Bluetooth phone/audio connectivity, a full-function i-MID display and a six-speaker AM/FM/SAT/MP3/ Bluetooth audio system with USB and auxiliary ports (which offers plenty of functionality but just-okay sound).
With no direct injection or turbocharging, 140 horsepower, and five speeds not six in the manual and automatic transmissions, the 2012 Honda Civic has the simplest powertrain of the newest compact sedans. Nevertheless, it delivers exceptional fuel economy and plenty of power. The mileage-maxing HF trim features the same powertrain, but adds two highway miles per gallon with a lower ride height, aerodynamic adds and tires with lower rolling resistance. The Civic Si, in sedan and coupe form, comes with 201 horsepower and a six-speed manual transmission.

"The ride is moderate and the noise is low for cars in its class but "fun to drive" does not fit this car. It is okay, handling is just mediocre, my Mazda 3....now that is fun to drive and handles sharply, not this Honda. But, the gas mileage is phenomenal, i average for 40,000 miles 35.6 and have gotten as much as 43 mpg on the highway! And in 41,000 miles, no maintenance issues, zero nada! many controls on steering wheel and ability to set many different looks on digital dash. heads up digital speedometer is great! Cloth seats and mats are cheap. Body integrity is great."

"My first Honda.I bought it thinking resale value would be tops but in less than 3 years I've lost half its value.it's a good car!it does need four tires now and having rotated them every oil change(5k) I thought they would last longer.,but overall I can't complain.we also own a new toyota and feel the Toyota has a better built solid ride.I would buy this car again and recommend it to anyone but I think Id step up to the accord next and not loose much in gas mileage and have a quieter rikde"

"Just purchased and drove home from the dealership. This drive is approximately 90 miles and includes rural and interstate highway driving, hills and flatlands. I did a great deal of research before purchasing, and this car exceeds all expectations. I've owned twelve Hondas and seventeen total cars in the past 25 years. Never had a problem with a Honda, but others have let me down. Compared to the other Hondas I have owned, this is one of the best. Look forward to driving this for a long time."

"I purchased this car in January 2015 from a dealership where my sister-in-law had traded it in for a new Mustang Roush. She keeps her vehicles in impeccable condition inside and out, the car had only 30,000 miles on it and was perfect. I purchased it through the dealership and got a very, very good deal. I commute 25 miles one way to work each day and the fuel efficiency, especially in ECO mode is awesome, averaging 35 mpg driving some interstate and some stop and traffic. The car has all and more amenities than I ever dreamed of. The ride is good, handling is awesome."

"Bought new and In 3 1/2 years of driving not one single problem. Routine maintenance only, ie oil/filter and tire rotation, etc. Gets consistently 36-38 MPG overall freeway/city driving as verified by gallons used at fill up. Nice handling OK acceleration and braking. drives straight and true down the road with no pulling to side. Fairly quiet interior ride, about as expected for this class car. High quality paint, interior trim, appearance. I would not hesitate to buy another one"

"I own a 2014 and am in sales. I have already put 18,000 miles on the car, since mid-July 2014. I had leather installed, as it's easier to sit on for long periods of time. I routinely drive 90 miles one-way to get to a job. I drive from the coast of Florida to the center of the state, and my mpg on country roads is always above 42mph. I keep my speed down to where the tach says 1550 rpm. This irritates other drivers, but they pass me. Generally keeping it at 55mph accomplishes this. When I drive to my office, I frequently get 50mpg. This car literally reminds me of my 2007 Mercedes Benz, in how it handles, how solid it is, and how comfortable it is. I don't necessarily love the exterior appearance, but that's okay. It looks professional, and yet I don't have to drive something big and heavy to get "classy". I don't regret this purchase at all."

The most dificult was the diagnosis. The condenser fan was turning slowly and the entire compressor/coil unit was too hot to touch. Removing the rear cover panel and placing a small desk fan behind the refrigerator cooled the compressor coil unit and allowed the freezer to get back to the 1 degree F operating range. This made my wife happy because she could continue to use the refrigerator and was willing to put up with the fan noise.The Part select recommendation page stated that the most common cause was a control board failure [which was ultimately true] but I orderd a control board, a compressor fan motor and a themostat to be able to fix it in one exercise. The parts took ~3 days to arrive and during this time the desk fan kept the freezer at correct operating temp.Replacing the control board and repowering the refrigerator [ took 1 hour] immediatly brought the original compressor fan motor up to speed. However it took the unit another 2 hours to get back to the 1 degree operating condition. The temperature had risen from 1 degree to 4 degrees in the time the unit was powered down.

Check out Aztek's Vertigo round up or were not friends anymore...
Aztek is dead on, talks about all the key stuff and never stops at going the easy way of just talking fables. Vertigo has a long history and no one on the Vine loves VErtigo more then Aztek. If you want to read more Vertigo and don't know where to start, read the link above. If you don't read Vertigo, then Stop reading just Spider-Man and grow up, what? "Are you a girl or something?" Leave that drama for your kid sister, Vertigo has mature drama from John Constantine's love life to the unsettling life of American native reserves. There has to be something for everyone at Vertigo and Aztek lays it out nicely.
You really should check it out. If you don't read Vertigo, then may be this will help you out. If you read some Vertigo, may be it will help you read more. I know comics are expensive and this list may help trim some fat. Why help the 100,000 units books if all they are are money grabs *cough* Marvel events * Cough*. You selling out those big books could help the growth of a future classic. Do you really want to be like those guys who haven't finished Y: The Last Man, yet? Trust me, it is always more fun being the junk on my end saying "Why haven't you read (Insert Vertigo classic) yet? Are you a girl or something?". With Aztek's list you can join me and be that jerk. ^_^
"So why haven't you been reading Hellblazer? Are you a Girl or something?"....

Tyson Leon
Athlete Suspended Over Tweet Will Get To Wrestle
A Minnesota high school athlete who was suspended over a tweet has dropped his push for a court order that would allow him to compete after learning he'll be allowed to wrestle this season. Tyson Leon, a 16-year-old football player and wrestler at Shakopee High School, had argued that his tweet about "drilling" his teammates was about tackling opponents.
Minn. Athlete Challenges Suspension From Sports
A Minnesota high school athlete is challenging his suspension from sports, saying a tweet about drilling his teammates was about tackling opponents and wasn't a threat. Tyson Leon, a 16-year-old football player and wrestler at Shakopee High School, says the suspension from sports is hurting his chances of getting a wrestling scholarship to attend college. However, a school district attorney said in court Tuesday that his suspension was only for football and that he will still be able to wrestle, according to the Star Tribune.

Outcomes of full-thickness articular cartilage injuries of the shoulder treated with microfracture. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19664505 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether microfracture provides pain relief and improves shoulder function in patients with chondral defects of the glenohumeral joint. METHODS: Microfracture was performed in glenohumeral joints with full-thickness chondral lesions. Concomitant procedures were performed as indicated. Patients aged 60 years or older and those with complete rotator cuff tears were excluded. We included 31 shoulders in 30 patients in this study. Included were 25 men and 5 women with a mean age of 43 years (range, 19 to 59 years). Of the 31 surgeries, 6 (19%) progressed to another surgery. Subjective data obtained at a minimum of 2 years' follow-up were available in 24 patients (25 shoulders). Patient pain and functional outcomes were measured by use of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score and patient satisfaction. Data were analyzed by use of paired t tests and regression analysis. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 47 months (range, 25 to 128 months). The mean pain scores decreased from 3.8 to 1.6 postoperatively (0, no pain; 10, worst pain). The patients' ability to work, activities of daily living, and sports activity significantly improved postoperatively (P < .05). Painless use of the involved arm improved postoperatively (P < .05). The mean ASES score improved by 20 points over the preoperative score (P < .05). Mean satisfaction with surgical outcome was 7.6 of 10. There was no association between age or gender and surgical outcomes. The greatest improvements were seen in patients who had microfracture of isolated lesions of the humerus. CONCLUSIONS: Failure occurred in 6 of the 31 shoulders (19%). In the remaining patients there was a significant improvement of 20 points (range, -11 to 45 points) in the ASES score compared with preoperatively. In those patients in whom just the humerus was treated, the greatest improvement was seen, with an increase of 32 points (range, 3 to 87 points). There was a negative correlation between the size of the lesion and ASES improvement (r = -0.351, P = .12). Our data showed the greatest improvement for smaller lesions of the humerus with the worst results in patients with bipolar lesions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic case series. |

Longue Vue House and Gardens, also known as Longue Vue, is a multifaceted historic estate featuring a world-class house museum and eight acres of stunning gardens, including a locally unparalleled collection of Louisiana irises and an interactive Discovery Garden for children of all ages. It is located at 7 Bamboo Road in New Orleans.
The former home of Edgar and Edith Stern (daughter of Julius Rosenwald), the current house is in fact the second. The original house and gardens began in 1924. In 1934, landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman began to work with the Sterns on the designs of their gardens. Through the re-working of the gardens the Sterns decided that their house did not allow them to fully enjoy their new grounds, and the original house was subsequently moved and a new one erected in its place starting in 1939. This new house was designed by architects William and Geoffrey Platt whose father, Charles A. Platt, was Shipman's mentor. The four facades of the house have four different appearances and out each of the four sides there is a different garden. It has 20 rooms on three stories, with original furnishings.
The gardens include Asclepias tuberosa, azaleas, caladium, Callicarpa americana, camellia, Canna, Chionanthus retusus, chrysanthemum, crape myrtle, cyclamen, Delphinium, Ficus carica, Gossypium, hydrangea, Koelreuteria bipinnata, Louisiana irises, Lycoris aurea, Narcissus, Passiflora incarnata, Phytolacca americana, Euphorbia pulcherrima, roses, Stigmaphyllon ciliatum, tulips, vitex, and Zingiber zerumbet.
Longue Vue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991,[1] and further was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005.[2]
Though damaged by Hurricane Katrina, Longue Vue has reopened thanks to the commitment of the staff and volunteers from around the country that helped to bring back the gardens. Tours of the house are available every hour on the hour during normal operating hours, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. The last house tour is at 4 p.m.

'Star Wars: Rogue One' Looking to Cast 'Nightcrawler' Star Riz Ahmed in Lead Role
by Jacob Hall 4 days ago
While we've been basking in the warm, loving glow of the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Gareth Edwards' Star Wars: Rogue One has been quietly assembling its various components. First, Felicity Jones was cast in a lead role. Then Ben Mendelsohn supposedly joined the ensemble. Now, Riz Ahmed, who is probably best known for playing the straight face to Jake Gyllenhaal's memorable craziness in Nightcrawler, is supposedly signing up.

- They certainly do use LinkedIn: the group grew from 2 to 33 members in a few hours.My 2 cents on 'Agile Project Managers':I'm a PM myself but essentially the PM model and the Agile model are different worlds. They are not necessarily incompatible though. A large project for a new online photo printing service could very well be managed using Prince2 (or similar) where different teams report to the project manager. The development of the supporting web app could be done using Scrum. While the set up of the photo printing facility is managed in a more traditional waterfall manner.Of course there is also another way by using the Scrum of Scrum, but I wonder if Scrum if fit for setting up a photo printing facility.Anyhow in an Agile environment the traditional PM will have to adapt hence the term 'Agile Project Management/Manager'. (not sure if anyone has this on his business card though)Regards,

IF have started it you come to find out you a 3 way up,but every thing will go ok...have fun dude........
Ive been running a alpine deck, 5 1/4 component and single 10" for 3 years now without any complaints or problems. It's pretty much the standard a well balanced. dual 8's would be different but if your running them in "free air" (no enclosure) you may not be satisfied by the depth of sound. |
Well its not free air per say. Its specifically molded to take the spot of the rear speakers so when it is installed it will be enclosed. I dont care for the bass just sound quality |
ohhhhhh.... you should have said something about using a prefab box. you should be fine then.. go for it! |
Yeah sorry Slowered318 forgot to mention that. Yeah a free air would do nothing for me. I know trust me I have been in the audio game a while. I once had 4 12" Xmax phoniex gold subs, powered by a zx 500 and a killer front end powered by a zx 350. I was hitting 141 db steady. Could hit higher db but it was a trunk enclosure all done by Kennedy Hi-fi. I should be happy with the results though I found out my prefab enclosure where off a 4 door. Holes are in the wrong spot but they will just drill new ones. Can wait to here how it sounds. Also told them to fire it up and here how it sounds. If there is rattle I told them to find it and sound deaten it. He said there shouldnt be that must because it is bolted right up to the rear deck. Can't wait to hear it |
Oh man guys it sounds perfect. Exactly what I was looking for sound wise very happy
its good to hear, i remember how excited i was when my system was complete :)
I will post some pics real soon |
^^cool man....I love the car audio world........
paul have you tracked your beast yet?

Bolton Castle Description
Bolton Castle is an exceptional place in so many ways. The rolling Wensleydale hills provide a stirring background to a proud castle that can be seen for miles around and was clearly built for domination.
We may find that a rather daunting proposition nowadays, but it is a vital part of our history, and the displaying of that history and its progression into the 21st century, in a way that can be fully understood, is what Bolton Castle does so well.
The Castle escapes the trap of becoming a sort of domestic museum and tells it as it was, and now is. Completed in 1399 by Sir Richard le Scrope, Chancellor of England to King Richard II, it is a robust example of the times. Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned here, during the Civil War it was besieged, its ancient stones speak of centuries of wild weather.
About one third of the castle's rooms are intact, and the remainder are almost completely accessible, providing a window into the turbulent past of this fortress that gradually followed the times into calmer waters. The old kitchens, the dungeon, a Solar, Nursery, Armoury, Great Chamber and Mary, Queen of Scots's bedchamber all tell their own tales and are furnished in a manner that brings the past alive.
The sights, sounds, smells and artefacts of life from that past are all invoked and visitors speak, sometimes in awe, of their feeling that rooms they enter still bear tangible evidence of very recent occupation by those who have gone before.
School visits find Bolton Castle a wonderful place in which to bring history alive, as they watch the falconry displays, sample the food their long ago ancestors were familiar with, and pick up on the numerous activities that suit their school syllabus. Adaptation is an art for the staff at Bolton, and every care is taken to ensure that history remains credible.
Weddings and Events
The opportunity to make your wedding day even more special is often to be found in historical buildings. Each have their own specialities and at Bolton Castle the Castle's heir, Tom Orde-Powlett, trains owls to fly wedding rings down the aisle to waiting brides and grooms, though this is, of course, not obligatory, and they do have a host of more traditional wedding customs and wishes which they are well used to satisfying. Further details of weddings at this historic property can be found on their own Website.
The Tea Room
A cornucopia of wonderful tastes and dishes, specialising in seriously indulgent home baking are a feature of the Tea Room, heated by a huge log burner when needs must. A wonderful place for parties and special celebrations where Yorkshire hospitality predominates.
The Gardens
In 1260 the writer Albertus Magnus described the plants used in a medieval pleasure garden. They might, he said, "refresh the sight with the variety of their flowers and . . . cause admiration at their manly forms in those who look at they". The gardens at Bolton Castle have been renewed and rebuilt bearing those principles in mind, and the results are enchanting.

Game Changes
Game Changes
Here we list all the changes to the The Sims 2 engine, ordered from least significant at the top to most significant at the bottom.
New Build and Buy Mode Tools |
There are two new tools in Build Mode, one of which can be used in Buy Mode as well. First is the Sledgehammer tool, useable in either mode, that acts basically as an instant-sell cursor. Simply point to the object and click, and it will disappear whilst giving you the money back for it. This really only saves you a couple clicks of your mouse, but extended selling could be a use for it. The Sledgehammer will work with anything: objects, walls, you name it.
The second new tool is only for Build Mode. Located in the Terrain subsort, you can access a Lot Leveling tool. This will immediately level the entire lot to the street, giving you a fresh start if you want to redesign it.
New Roof Styles |
EA has now added diagonal roofs to the roof styles, allowing you to finally make intelligent-looking roofs on those cut-corner walls you have around the house. The diagonal roofs are in many popular styles, so you'll be sure to see something you'll like. |
New Wants and Needs |
All the new wants and needs revolve around pets, naturally. |
New Wallpaper |
Although there are no new flooring options (unless we simply overlooked them), there are quite a few new choices for wall coverings. Some of them, like the blue paint with white trim and cats in the upper trim, look great for kids rooms or pet shops. |
Servo is Tweaked |
If you own The Sims 2 Open for Business as well as Pets, you'll notice that Servo's programming gets altered. With Free Will off, he will no longer do chores or serve meals on his own. This is a good thing, as he'll be in the way far less, and he won't be wasting your Sims' food. |
Werewolves |
Like vampires and zombies before them, your Sims can become something that goes bump in the night, provided the conditions are right. |
New Objects |
All the new objects are pet-related, so there are really no new objects for your human Sims. Still, there's a lot to explore, especially if you also own Open For Business and want to open a pet shop. |
Pets |
We don't have a prayer trying to cover all aspects of pets in a single section. |
Give us feedback! | On to Pet Basics... |

So, you want to climb Mt Rainier.
Mount Rainier is a unique mountain within the contiguous United States. No other mountain is as extensively glaciated or has as prodigious a prominence. The scale and character of Mt. Rainier is more akin to an Alaskan or Andean peak. The highest trailhead requires the climber to gain 9,000 feet of elevation to reach the summit, as much as from Everest ABC to its summit. The weather on Mt. Rainier changes remarkably quickly, typically for the worse. Blizzards are not uncommon in August, and the high winds and moisture laden air sap heat and wilt down insulation. If you are planning an attempt on Rainier there are a few things you should know. Belwo are some tips I have gleaned from over two decades and dozens of climbs on 'The Mountain'. Bear in mind that this article is not a substitute for proper instruction or experience. Mt. Rainier kills climbers almost every year.What to know
Mt. Rainier is a heavily glaciated mountain and anyone attempting to climb it should have solid glacier travel skills. In addition to the mountain traveler's knowledge of weather, route finding, winter camping, etc., one should be proficient in the following techniques for safe glacier travel:
Ice axe use (arrest, self belay, step chopping, etc.)
Belaying techniques on snow and ice (boot axe, sitting hip, ice screw, etc.)
Use of crampons
Roped travel
Ascending a rope with Prusik cords/mechanical ascenders
Setting snow and ice anchors (ice screws, pickets, bollards, dead men, flukes)
Building a Z hauling system (Z x C if in a two person party)
Hazard recognition (seracs, rock fall, crevasses, weather)
If you are not absolutely proficient in these techniques, you must learn them from a qualified instructor prior to a summit attempt. An excellent primer on these techniques can be found in Freedom of the Hills, 8th ed., but is no substitute for proper instruction. There are many clubs that offer mountaineering courses, including the Washington Alpine Club, the Boeing Alpine Club, The Mountaineers, and The Mazamas. Many climbers choose to hire a guide service. This can increase a new or visiting climber's chance of summiting while decreasing the chance of making poor decisions.
When to go
The typical climbing season starts in April and runs through September. Weather is king on Mt Rainier, and more trips are spoiled by poor weather than any other factor. Weather improves throughout the season and becomes much more stable after the first week of July. The flip side is crevasses open up, snow bridges become weaker, and routes become more circuitous. Some routes are only appropriate early in the season, April through mid June, as rock fall becomes increasingly problematic once the ice that binds the loose volcanic rock melts. The trick is to find the sweet spot when conditions are good and weather is stable. Historically, I have found that July is the best month for this. The last several years, however, have seen low winter snowfalls, particularly during the critical early winter period. This has lead to routes becoming icy, broken, and circuitous earlier in the season, and technical routes becoming dangerously out of condition by the end of June. Before you go, check the weather and insist on a good forecast.
Selecting a route
There are many good route options for alpinists of varying ability and experience. If you are fairly new to climbing your best choices are Ingraham Glacier Direct, Disappointment Cleaver, or the Emmons Glacier. These, however, are the most popular routes and during the height of the climbing season it may be difficult to get a camping spot. If you want to be assured of a spot apply for a permit early. Less crowded, but slightly more technical routes include the Kautz Glacier and Fuhurer Finger routes. For a true wilderness experience the Tahoma Glacier is hard to beat. There are several guide books available that cover Mt. Rainier:
Mount Rainier: A Climbing Guide by Mike Gauthier
Cascade Alpine Guide: Climbing and High Routes: Vol 1- Columbia River to Stevens Pass (3rd Ed.) by Fred Beckey
Selected Climbs in the Cascades, Volume I and II by Jim Nelson and Peter Potterfield
Any reasonably fit person can climb Mt Rainier, but a focused, specific training regimen will make your climb more enjoyable. Tailor your program to mimic the demands of climbing a big mountain. Summit day will likely be an 8 -12 hour affair so it is important to train long. Load up a pack and hike your local hills, or do long trail runs or bike rides. Lift weights to strengthen your core, shoulders, back and legs. Don't neglect high intensity cardio like interval work. You want the ultra runner's endurance, the sprinter's speed, and the weight lifter's power. Your goal is to become an all around athlete.
Many people train solely on a stair stepper machine or by hiking with a pack filled with water bottles which they dump out for the hike down. Both of these training methods will help you for the climb up, but remember you have over 9,000 feet to descend, usually on the same day as the 4,000-5,000 ascent on summit day. One needs to train the muscles for the hike down. I find trail running in the mountains to be very effective. Running down hill does more to strengthen your legs than running or hiking uphill. Running down hill generates forces several times your weight, far more than can be carried on your back, which must be countered with the eccentric contraction of your leg muscles. If no other options exist, doing various squats and lunges in the gym can help train these muscles.
Extreme Alpinism, Climbing Light, Fast, and High by Mark Twight is a classic on the subject of training in particular and climbing in general. Training for the New Alpinism, A Manual for the Climber as Athlete by Steve House and Scott Johnston incorporates the newest training philosophies.
What to bring. The old climber's adage "light is right" couldn't be truer for Mt. Rainier. When choosing gear look for the lightest possible piece that will meet your needs. Most first time climbers carry more clothing and food than they need. Most first time climbers err on the side of caution and bring too much food and clothing. Don't bring any 'extra' gear but don't forget anything critical. Your total pack weight should be no heavier than 35 pounds. Below is a gear list that works for me from April through September. Bear in mind that some routes and conditions will require additional gear and clothing. This is only a suggested list.
Clothing. During the main climbing season, early spring through early fall, you can experience temperatures from the mid 70's at the trailhead to well below freezing with high winds on the summit. You will need to pack a clothing system that will handle the range of temperatures you may expect. On summit day dress to stay just warm enough while moving. You should feel chilly standing around waiting for your rope team to get moving. A 'belay jacket' is critical for this approach. Carry a warm synthetic or down insulated hooded parka that is sized to fit over all your layers. The belay parka goes on when you stop for short breaks and in extreme cold and high winds.
- Sun hat - something with a brim to protect your face.
- Warm hat - wool or fleece
- Sun glasses - dark glacier glasses with side shields
- Headlamp - Small LED with extra batteries - lithium last longer, are lighter and less affected by cold weather than alkaline batteries
- Boots - either plastic or insulated leather mountaineering boots
- Liner socks - thin merino wool or synthetic (2 pair) (optional)
- Heavy socks- merino wool or synthetic (2 pair)
- Gaitors (optional, good for early season wet snow)
- Liner gloves - cheap poly pro work well
- Warm gloves - Fleece liner with a nylon type shell work well - include spare liners or a spare pair of gloves
- Pants - mid weight soft shells work great
- Long underwear - mid weight synthetic or merino wool
- Fleece tights - 200 weight PowerStretch is plenty warm and less bulky than fleece (optional early and late season or if you get cold easily)
- Light weight hard shell pants (optional)
- Shorts - (optional, nice for hiking to high camp in warm weather)
- Short sleeve shirt- light colored synthetic or light weight merino wool
- Light weight fleece jacket or puffy (early and late season or if you get cold easily)
- Wind shirt - lightly insulated nylon jacket is very versatile (e.g. Marmot Driclime)
- Shell - light weight hooded jacket to repel wind and precipitation (e.g. Marmot Precip)
- Insulated parka - hooded synthetic or down 'belay parka'
Personal gear
Technical gear
- Crampons - 12 point steel with anti balling plates
- Ice axe
- Helmet
- Harness - lightweight webbing harness with drop legs. (e.g. Black Diamond Couloir)
- Picket - 24"
- Pulley
- Prusik slings - 5mm perlon or Tiblocs
- Runner/slings - 2 single, 1 double
- Carabiners - 6 wire gate, 3 lockers
Camping gear
- Sleeping bag - 20 degree or warmer if you sleep cold
- Sleeping pad
- Backpack - 40-50 liters is about right. Any larger and you're not going light
- Trekking poles (optional)
- Small pocket knife
- Lighter - I prefer a mini Bic
- Water bottles (2) - I like to bring one bladder and one Nalgene to use as a mug
- Bowl - I like to use the disposable 'Tupperware' type such as Ziplock
- Spoon - I learned the hard way of the value of an unbreakable spoon.
Shared gear
- Rope - 30 to 50 meters, 8 to 9 mm. Climbers may be tempted choose a thin twin rope to save weight, but should be cautioned that hauling and ascending skinny cords is very difficult. I personally use a burly half rope.
- Shelter - Tent or tarp if you are not planning on sleeping in the Muir public shelter
- Stove - butane canister stove systems work very well (e.g. Jet Boil, MSR Reactor)
- Fuel - at high camp all your water will need to be melted from snow. Carry enough fuel for two extra days
- Pot
- Pot lifter (optional)
- Lighter
- Map and compass
- GPS (optional)
- Wands (optional)
Additional gear for technical routes. Routes like Liberty Ridge, Ptarmigan Ridge, Kautz Glacier, Mowich Glacier Headwall, Sunset Amphitheater Headwall, and Curtis Ridge offer the experienced alpinist challenging climbing on steep ice and rock. You will need additional gear for these routes, which include, but are not limited to the following:
- Second ice tool or a pair of ice tools
- Full length rope - 50 -60 meters
- Ice screws - 6-8
- Rock protection - pitons, Tricams, and cams work better than nuts in the highly broken volcanic rock
- Extra runners and carabiners
- Sunblock - I like to use SPF 40
- Lip balm - At least SPF 15
- Toilet paper
- Blue bags
- First aid kit - for injuries, blisters, small wounds, allergies, etc.
- Entertainment - music players or other electronic widgets
Random tips
Plan your climb, and climb your plan
Start your days early so you roll into camp with plenty of time to relax, rehydrate, and acclimatize. Start your summit day early. It is far preferable to begin climbing in the dark than to finish in the dark. Aim to be off of the glaciers before the high altitude sun bakes the snow into a sloppy mess, ideally before noon. Aim to leave camp by 3 am at the very latest; many parties leave at midnight. Expect to take at least an hour getting ready and plan your wake up time accordingly. Pace yourself. You will spend the better part of every day working towards your goal. Be the tortoise, the hare will burn out.
Personal maintenance
Drink more than you think you need and before you feel thirsty. Staying hydrated will help with altitude acclimatization. Water bladders with hoses make this easy, but be aware that water can freeze in the tube. Take precautions to prevent this. I find that having something flavorful helps me to drink more. Pack tea, instant soup, hot Jello, electrolyte sports mixes, etc. Apply sun screen to all exposed skin frequently. Don't forget the lips and the bottom of the nose. Keep your feet dry and don't let hot spots on turn into blisters. Keep your boots laced properly
How's da wedder?
Watch the weather and never climb up into a storm. As a general rule of thumb, storms come from the north in summer and the south in winter. Conversely, if your intended route climbs under or through rock bands, make sure the temperatures will remain cold enough to keep the rock frozen together.
If you are staying in the public shelter at Camp Muir be mindful and courteous of fellow climbers. Don't smoke in the hut, turn the fans on when cooking, keep your voices low when others are sleeping, and clean up after yourself. Don't leave your left over food for the next climbers, it will attract mice.
If the weather cooperates and you have your systems dialed and have trained appropriately, you may find yourself here:
What about winter?
Climbing Rainier in winter can be a valuable learning experience for those heading to the greater ranges. Deep snow, bad weather, cold temperatures, and short days all make for a much more challenging experience compared to a spring or summer attempt.
Most of Mt Rainier's routes have had winter ascents, but since the road to Paradise is the only plowed road in winter, a south side route makes the most sense. Gibralter Ledges, Ingraham Direct, and Disappointment Cleaver are all good candidates for a winter attempt. These routes will allow you to stay in the Muir shelter, a much nicer alternative to a tent or snow cave.
When to go?
Winter officially starts December 21st and ends March 21st. Any climb made between these dates is considered an official winter ascent. During the winter the prevailing wind and storms are out of the south west. This effectively strips the snow off of south facing routes high on the mountain. This makes for poorly bridged crevasses and sastrugi snow which effectively conceal hidden crevasses. A good strategy is to aim for late winter which tends to offer better snow conditions, longer days, and a better chance of a good weather window.
Locals watch the weather and avalanche forecasts and drop everything to attempt a winter ascent. Traveling climbers don't have the same luxury. A good strategy is to shoot for the weeks before and after President's day weekend in February. The PNW enjoys a high pressure system every year right around that time which can last a few days or a couple of weeks.
What to know
Avalanches are, or should be, a big concern. Everyone attempting Rainier in winter should have avalanche training and the necessary tools (beacon, shovel, and probe). Watch the avalanche forecasts, don't make an attempt while it is snowing or shortly after it has snowed.
White outs are a big problem, especially in winter. Know how to get back from Camp Muir to Paradise. People have died trying to get back down in a white out. The NPS publishes a map with compass bearings to prominent features. Get one and know how to use your compass and altimeter. Laying in a GPS track as a back up is a good idea, as are wands.
What to bring
In addition to the usual kit for Rainier, the following items should be considered indispensable.
Avalanche tools - snow saw, shovel, beacon, probe
Double plastic boots

Contingency Plans
Mt Rainier is magnet for winter storms. Rainier can be getting nuked while other mountains, especially those east of the crest, are enjoying relatively descent weather. On the other hand, Mt Rainier is a big mountain and one can some times get above the cloud layer and enjoy warm, sunny conditions while everything else is socked in.
If you are traveling to attempt Rainier in winter allow more time than you think you need. This will give you a better chance of getting a window of good weather. Make alternate plans should Rainier be getting hammered. There are many small ski resorts and good back country skiing (if avalanche conditions allow) if that is your bag. Reliable ice climbing can be found in and around Lillooet, BC about 6 hours north of Seattle. Great mixed alpine climbing can be found in the Stuart Range which due to its position east of the crest can have better weather. Dragontail, Colchuck, Argonaut Peaks and Mt Stuart all offer reasonable winter access and routes ranging in difficulty from easy to hard.
If the weather is bad everywhere, Seattle is nice place to spend a day or two. Seattle boasts a fun water front district with an excellent aquarium, restaurants, and other attractions. There are a number of interesting museums, including the Seattle Art Museum, the Museum of History and Industry, and the Experience Music Project museum of modern music. Fun window shopping can be found at the Pike Place Market, the REI flagship store and across the street Feathered Friends. Good brew pubs and taverns abound in the Ballard, University District, and Freemont neighborhoods. We also have several indoor rock climbing gyms including Stone Gardens, The Vertical Club and The Seattle Bouldering Project.
