Here's a little history lesson for the under-50 crowd: The term "psychedelic" was coined by British psychologist and early hallucinogenic-drug-therapy proponent Humphrey Osmond, to mean "mind manifesting" – in other words, the outer manifestation of the inner world of the human psyche.
People who have been under the influence of a psychedelic drug often describe the experience as the brain projecting heightened sensory data onto things in the outside world. Food tastes better than ever, sounds take on an otherworldly quality, and ordinary objects glow with intense color and light. And the interplay of all the senses creates an unimaginable spectacle.
Once the word psychedelic became associated with the hallucinogen-fueled counterculture art movement of the 1960s and 1970s – and the bright, heavily saturated colors, patterns and surreal images that defined it – it found its way into the mainstream.
But as Osmond once observed, "To fathom Hell or soar angelic, just take a pinch of psychedelic." What are the effects of the psychedelic color palette? In color psychology, warm colors such as red, orange and yellow have the power to evoke a range of emotions from warmth and comfort to anger and hostility. The cool palette produces emotions no less extreme, with blues, purples and greens inducing feelings of calm, sadness, indifference and even depression.
All colors in the spectrum play a role in psychedelic art, and psychedelic art often uses the most intensely saturated hues in the proverbial crayon box and combines them in ways almost unimaginable.
Feelin' Groovy?
Timing is everything. In December 2007, Scientific American published an article about the science community's renewed interest in the therapeutic benefits of hallucinogenic drugs on such illnesses as chronic depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and drug and alcohol dependency. And now, decades after their parents – or grandparents – succumbed to Timothy Leary's urgings to "turn on, tune in, drop out," a whole new generation is being introduced to the mind-blowing effects of the psychedelic color palette. Tired of channeling their inner Goth, fashion designers went color-happy in 2008. Cheerfully saturated hues of tangerine, lemon, lime, fuchsia, violet, cobalt blue, cherry and more – and statement-making patterns that combined them – dominated fashion runways as designers showed off their 2008 spring and fall collections.
For example, for its set design, the youth-oriented designer clothing label Miss Sixty collaborated with Bob Masse, the internationally renowned psychedelic-rock-and-roll poster artist. Masse's famous commemorative poster of Janis Joplin – enhanced with UV paint and blown up to cover the entire runway – provided the backdrop for a collection filled with patterned tights, faux fur vests, chunky beaded jewelry and a cheerful explosion of contrasting colors.
America's trendsetting youth are embracing these colorful aspects of the 21st-century hippie movement – much to the surprise of members of the original "Summer of Love" generation. "It astounds me that psychedelic colors are making such a comeback," says Michael Scott, design director of Robb & Stucky Interiors, Scottsdale, Ariz. "Those of us who lived through the tumultuous '60s and '70s tend to dislike the kaleidoscope of patterns and colors."
So some people will definitely steer clear. But psychedelic colors and patterns are making their way back into the mainstream color palette, as witnessed by IKEA's recent U.S. commercials featuring colorful homes. As psychedelic colors influence home décor, it remains to be seen if even the trendiest members of the youth culture will go all out or just use judicious pops of psychedelic colors in their accessories and accents.

Revamping the Glycemic Index for Diabetes
But the data from the index was often confusing and misleading. For example, carrots, surprisingly so, have a higher glycemic index than table sugar. Potatoes, corn and brown rice — healthy carbohydrates in their own right — were given the thumbs down because they, too, have a high glycemic index.
All carbohydrates are converted into glucose in the blood, but at different rates, and these rates depend on many factors. One critical factor is the type of food eaten with the carbohydrate. If a sugar food is eaten with a protein food, the rise and fall of the blood glucose will be considerably slower than eating the sugar food alone.
Unfortunately, the glycemic index does not take this into account. It rates foods in a solitary manner, as if each one were eaten alone. In reality, most people eat two or more food types in one sitting. Also, different people and different eating situations can provoke varying glycemic responses — how the body responds to the ingestion of carbohydrates.
So unless you eat just one food at a time, the glycemic index is not practical in its application. The American Diabetes Association has concluded that the glycemic index of a particular food is not as critical as the total amount of carbohydrates eaten in meals and snacks. Therefore, the glycemic index is NOT a dietary guide for managing diabetes.
Instead of using the glycemic index as a strong indicator of healthy eating, the American Diabetes Association recommends eating three wellbalanced meals a day with plenty of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, monounsaturated fats (such as avocados and olive oil), omega-3 polyunsaturated fats (found in salmon and flax seeds), and animal protein foods with less saturated fat (poultry, lean pork and fish). In addition, it is recommended that all people with diabetes meet with a registered dietitian to receive an individualized meal plan to improve their selfmanagement of diabetes.

Director Michael J. Bassett crammed as much fan service into Revelation as possible, including characters, locations, creatures, and more. Hardcore Silent Hill fans will also spot references to other games in the series, like Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2 and Travis Grady from Silent Hill: Origins, but I'm only focusing on Silent Hill 3 for this feature. SPOILER ALERT: The following images and captions are full of spoilers for both the movie and game.

Yes, I know it's practically February. It's hard to rush when you're a zombie (unless you're one of those newfangled ones). Anyway, I was away over Christmas and New Year — finally got back on my snowboard, and thankfully hadn't completely forgotten the keyboard shortcuts and where to put the wheels.
A quick round up:
Before Christmas, work/social stuff was incredibly hectic and I didn't make either of the two nights we raided Dragon Soul. So it was pleasing last week to finally experience some of it with real people, as opposed to the Turing test candidates in LFR. We were a bit rusty, and co-ordination problems and rogues wanting pickpockets slowed us down, so we actually only killed the first three bosses, but as the cobwebs were removed it seemed straightforward enough. I have done the first four in LFR a couple of times, and (based only on a DPS perspective) I think the difficulty levels are pretty well matched between LFR and "real" raiding — the extra co-ordination and control you have in a "proper" raid and which is lost in LFR is compensated for by the reduced difficulty. Of course it does mean that, if your group is paying attention, LFR is a touch processional, but that's ok.
As ever, being a small guild can be tricky. Of course there's the game-whose-name-must-not-be-mentioned turning heads and hearts, poachers (hands off our warlock!), different playstyles and goals to accommodate, the ever-present risk of a long-term player just running out of WoW-steam plus those tricky real-life issues like jobs eating into personal time and spouses accidentally leaving laptops on public transport (!). WTB reliable, fun and remunerative jobs with sensible and predictable hours for my guild (and myself) please.
Hour of Twilight
Well they listened. The 5mans seem (unless you end up in *that* group) 30 minutes-or-less-and-done affairs, there are a few fun mechanics, Illidan is campy enough that I don't (yet) want to bludgeon him with a butter mallet and the loot tables appear balanced such that I'll be running the damned things forever to fill out missing slots (*grumble*). Even with distinctly subpar DPS you can make it if people can move out of bad stuff. That said, I can't decide whether it's the change to holy paladin mechanics or the way healing works in these particular dungeons, but I am finding healing trickier. Once my shaman's resto gear is ready, I might better be able to judge where the change lies.
I imagine that the forums are once again filled with people complaining that the new content is "faceroll" and "for the bads", although I've not been to check. Certainly both the 5 mans and DS feel much more gently tuned than the Zandalaris and Firelands did at launch (with the caveat here that I've not done the back half of Dragon Soul, which I understandis something of a step-up in difficulty). It's the ever-present tradeoff. During FL, only towards the end did I have more than one character I thought of as "raid ready" — Gwyddeon (bear) has tanked FL a couple of times and my DK or hunter could have filled a spot if need be (but weren't ideally placed). The idea of running the troll instances on multiple characters really didn't appeal that much, and it was only as I ran out of things to buy with VP on Ano that I really put effort in on the others.
Admittedly it was my first week back and I was a little like a desert wanderer at an oasis, but I've maxed VP on three characters so far this week and can see a number of my characters having fun in LFR in the next few weeks. The shorter run times, (apparent) relative lower difficulty and the novelty of the new means I'm quite looking forward to running the 5's and the first half of LFR on as many characters as I can find time for. Quite a change — I wonder if that's just me, or whether others are feeling the same way?
Another one made it to 85 — Neposlushnyj, a Enh/Resto shammygoat. I've not done much in the way of healing at max level yet as I prioritised gearing her enhancement set, but I'm finding enh fun, if occasionally a little strange. It's nice to see fairly consistent DPS on singles and pairs of trashmobs (vs the RNG yoyo of retribution) but it is a little disconcerting to get to a boss fight and not have any cooldowns to press (other than wolves, which sound great but don't appear to do all that much). AoE is great when it works, but can be a bit of a 'mare if individuals die before I can spread flame shock with lava lash. It seems that the better the group's DPS, the worse Nepo does at AoE :S. Otherwise she's a lot of fun and I think I've finally managed to block out her silly wobbly-bum-walk. Meanwhile, other mothballed 85s are pushing their way out of semi-retirement and complaining that their mailboxes still smell :O
I like LFR as an additional thing I can do for fun and to maybe grab some loot1, but I'm not sure yet whether it's ultimately going to be a good thing for the game as I like to play it. When people who are in relatively low-intensity guilds (like ours) who have never really cared overmuch about heroic modes kill Deathwing in the second week of the patch, I can easily see it affecting their desire to work through the same content on normal mode. It makes me wonder if WoW won't echo the economic condition of the world in general here: the rich (hardmode/hardmode-aspirant guilds) get richer (more access to loot, set pieces etc) and the poor2 (less focused normal mode guilds) get poorer (struggle to motivate their raiders who have already seen the content on LFR and aren't necessarily bothered about their epeens).
There have been a few departures from the blogging world recently that I've found… distressing. People who were funny, or amusingly bitchy, or informative, or informatively funny, or some combination thereof. New directive: from now on, if you're going to stop blogging about wow, please be one of the people I added to my feedreader aeons ago whose posts I barely skim. It won't make any difference to you, but I'll feel better.
Gah. Wordgasm — babble everywhere.
I'm off for a lie down and a post-prose cigarette. Adieu!--

Made them today and was surprised they turned out so well on my first try. I think I forgot the salt though, so I'm excited to try them again and see how they taste with the salt. lol Thanks so much for the recipe!

How many does this recipe make?

- Kendra at New Life On A Homestead said...
These look fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. We're doing home ground whole wheat flour too, so I'm glad to see it worked well for you. I'm definitely adding these to my list of things to try :)
- March 1, 2011 at 11:10 AM
- Utah Deal Diva said...
Regarding quantity- it depends how big you make them. I normally get around 20 from the recipe though.
- March 1, 2011 at 11:21 AM
- DanielleCorrelle said...
Wow! So easy, I am definitely trying these. I only recently overcame my fear or working with yeast, haha. I am not sure why it scared me all these years. :)
- March 1, 2011 at 12:04 PM
- Lindsay said...
I make these all of the time. Yes are so easy and so yummy! =)
- March 1, 2011 at 1:15 PM
- Rachel said...
To make it easier, you don't have to proof instant yeast, but you do if it's active dry yeast. I've tried both, and love the instant for that very reason.

Don't clobber me, but what if I did the dough in a bread machine? Still work?

Did you mix with a spoon, or with a mixer?
Thanks so much for sharing this! Can't wait to try it!

- Sonya said...
Thanks for posting! We love English muffins, but rarely feel like spending the money on them. I never even thought of trying to make them. One question: do you use a non-stick pan? It's the only kind I have and I'm a little nervous the cornmeal and no grease might ruin the finish.
- March 14, 2011 at 9:38 PM
- Sara @ ThrivingMama said...
Does anyone know if you can mix up the dough the night before and put it in the refrigerator, then form and bake the next morning?
- April 18, 2011 at 5:20 AM
- Anonymous said...
I tried to make these last night, but the dough was SO sticky that it was impossible to roll. I used a mixer with a dough hook attachment to mix the ingredients... should I have mixed by hand? Also where does the butter come into play? Do you melt it and add it when you add the flour, egg, etc?? help! :)
- September 28, 2011 at 10:01 AM
- Utah Deal Diva said...
Anon- the dough is super sticky after you mix it {butter is mixed in along with everything else} but it becomes a lot more manageable after it rises. I use the dough hook attachment to mix mine too.
Sara- never tried the overnight thing!
Sonya- I use a calphalon pan to cook them in. It's non-stick as well.

Thanks UDD - I'm going to try this again and probably mix for a little bit longer this time.

If I don't have cornmeal, can I use grits?

Just made these and they turned out great....Thank You so much.
- May 29, 2012 at 11:10 PM
- Chelsea said...
Hi! I made these today, and they didn't turn out right. They taste good, but they didn't rise at all. The dough did rise during the "rising" period, but once I rolled and cut the dough, it remained the same.
I double and triple checked the recipe- and I got all the ingredients/quantities right.I did do a 1/2 white 1/2 wheat flour mixture. Could that be the cause? Any thoughts? Thanks! :)
- October 6, 2012 at 3:26 PM
- Jessica Williams- UDD, Butter with a Side of Bread said...
Chelsea- my first thought was that you killed your yeast, but if the dough rose during the waiting period, that's not the case. Did it rise a lot? Is your yeast old?
After you roll hem out and cut them, they do rise a bit while waiting to be cooked. Not a ton though- they don't puff up like a roll would. They also rise more when they're cooked. I wonder if your heat was too high- they cooked too fast and didn't have the chance to more gradually heat up and rise more? The heat should be very low, as it states in the recipe. I even use the lid to trap the heat/ moisture more so that they rise up more.
Any of this ringing a bell?? I hope so! I'm sorry they didn't turn out well. Maybe try again??

Perfect for Combat training, Defensive tactics training, and Grappling/BJJ.
We guarantee you'll love wearing this gi no matter what you practice. The fabric is comfortable and durable making this the chocie of combat and defense training academies throughout the country.
From troops to Fuji:
Thank you so very much for providing us with ... the camoflouge GIs. These GIs are of great quality, very strong and durable. The other Soldiers in my unit who I train Jiu-Jitsu with were very jealous. These sure beat the traditional white GI and are the perfect fit for this desert setting here in Iraq.
Thanks again.
Sgt Guerra
Camp Cropper, Iraq
"My name is John Renken and I am the chief combatives trainer for Ft. Campbell, KY. I have been using Fuji Gi's for over a year now and this Desert Camo Gi is absolutely top of the line. The quality and durability is second to none and not nearly as expensive as other similar cut Gi's are. If you want to sport a GI that morally supports what our men and women in the Global War on Terror are doing this is the Gi for you."
"Awesome Uniform! It has created quite a buzz at my dojo. The kids absolutely love it. We use it as a special reward for the "warriors" who battle in competition, and as prizes for our VIP contests. It is an excellent tool to motivate and energize students. Thanks for coming out with such a cool gi." J. Pedro
"From my experience as a martial artist, I testify that the uniform looks and feels great. From my observations, soldiers are currently doing combatives using their own military uniform which in terms can be expensive to replace. This camo gi, offers a great option for the soldiers to train with. It also allows them to showcase the fighting skills that they learned at their respective dojos and martial art schools, begging the question, are you in the military?"
LTC Hector Morales, Head Coach, US Armed Forces Judo Team, Level 4 Certified Combatives Instructor
"Glad you guys finally got it right! Everything about it is fantastic."
"This is a cool gi."
"This is no flimsy gi, like so many companies have tried to make."
"I wore my new Fuji Force Camo Gi, and everyone loved it and now we are all ordering the gi."

Student OpportunitiesPage address: http://www.mnsu.edu/reslife/student_opportunities/
It's up to YOU.
While living on campus, keep in mind that at Minnesota State Mankato, the residence communities are a lot more than a place to sleep.
Personal Opportunities
As part of our mission, Residential Life states that "we want to facilitate students' personal success by promoting and providing opportunities for positive involvement in life outside the classroom."
Here are just a few of our own Residential Life Co-Sponsored Events and links to other fun opportunities here on campus. Watch your floor and lobby bulletin boards, table tents in the dining areas, and your E-Newsletters for additional activities.
Welcome Weekend
Welcome weekend starts the Thursday before fall classes begin with Move-In Day. This weekend is packed full of opportunities for you to meet others on your floor, residence community, and other residence communities.
Welcome Week
Following Welcome Weekend the entire campus is invited to more activities to get to know others. Most of these activities are located on or near the Centennial Student Union (CSU).
First 50 Days
The First 50 Days activities give residents an opportunities to get further acclimated to the University. Calendars with both Residential Life and campus-wide activities included.
What's on Wednesday?
Every Wednesday one of the Residence Community's host an activity called What's on Wednesday. These activities are open to all residents of Crawford, McElroy, Preska, Julia Sears, and Stadium Heights. Here are some event activities from past years:
- Mocktails and Cheese
- Karaoke
- Murder Mystery Party
- Beach Bash
- The Price is Right with Wells Fargo
- The Game of Life
- Minute to Win It
- The Roommate Game
- Cocoa & Coloring
- Bingo
- Pie Your CA
- Dress Your CA
- Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Outdoor Volleyball and Basketball
Join in on the various sand volleyball and basketball courts for some friendly Competition. Pick-up games are going all the time on these courts. Central locations allow interaction with all communities.
Crawford Haunted House
The Crawford Haunted House (put on by Crawford Residents) is in the lower level of Carkoski near the computer lab. This is free and open to all students. This is usually on the last Wednesday in October
House Party
Each year, the Student Health Services/Health Education Office will co-host an educational event called House Party. Residential Life and Greek Life also support this cause. This event usually takes place on the third Wednesday in October from 9:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Vans usually are available to take people to and from the house. In past years the vans have left from the McElroy, Julia Sears, and Preska lobbies.
Our goal is to educate students on the dangers of high-risk drinking. This event is a mock house party where students take a tour of an off campus house and explore a "house party" from a sober perspective. Student volunteers act out scenarios that students may have encountered at a real house party. Students will be given statistical information about the prevalence of high-risk behaviors and then will be educationed on how they can better keep themselves and their friends safe if they do choose to drink. Come have fun with your friends at this annual event!
RHA Turkey Run
RHA's first annual Turkey Fun Run/Walk was on November 17, 2012. The event was located at the MSU fitness trail. Tons of prizes, were given to both teams and individuals for best costume, fastest time, and many more!
The individual registration fee was a canned food item. The registration fee for a group to sign up was the donation of a frozen turkey. All food was donated to the ECHO food shelf here in Mankato. This event was created and run by mankatorha.org. The continuation of this event will be decided in the fall semester each year.
Moonlight Breakfast
Need a study break before finals? This usually occurs the Sunday before finals from 10:00 p.m. - 11:30 p.m. Breakfast will be served in the Carkoski Dining Hall by your friendly neighborhood Hall Directors!

Educational Opportunities
It's up to YOU.
While living on campus, keep in mind that at Minnesota State Mankato, the residence communitiess are a lot more than a place to sleep.
As part of our mission, Residential Life states that "we want to facilitate students' academic success by providing education opportunities." Here are some links to our own Residential Life Educational Opportunities and links to other academic opportunities here on campus. Activities, classes, times and offerings may change from year to year.
Before you come to campus check out opportunities through the Office of New Student and Family Programs. Here are just a few...
Maverick Mentor Program
Mentors are upperclass students at MSU and assist residents in their academic transition to college. Residents may begin meeting with a Maverick Mentor at any time during the academic year. The Maverick Mentor Program is housed in Crawford Hall A.
One Minute Clinic
Conducted three days each week in the lobby of one of the residence communities, this program gives residents instant academic assistance from upper-class "Maverick Mentors." In the current academic year, an average of 309 students per week are using the program.
Crawford Study Halls
Crawford Residence Community has a study hall in the lobby every Tuesday night for residents to study together. Extra tables, chairs, and healthy snacks are provided. Gift cards are given away to one lucky winner each week!
Study Bucks
Students "caught" studying receive study bucks. After a specified period of time, prizes are awarded to those with the most "money." Prizes often include movie baskets or college items for rooms.
Faculty Review Sessions
Looking to increase your grade in a particular class? The Maverick Mentor program, in partnership with MSU Faculty, offer students end of the semester review sessions in December and April.

By SHELIA BYRD
Associated Press
JACKSON (AP) — Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann says he'll soon give voters an education about three petition initiatives that will be on the Nov. 8 general election ballot.
But he's not the only one. Voters can also expect to hear from supporters — and possibly opponents — of the proposals on voter identification, eminent domain and abortion that will appear alongside races for statewide, legislative and local offices.
Lawmakers ended the 2011 session without offering competing language for the proposals. Hosemann said his office will now prepare for the next phase of the initiative process.
"We are busily preparing the arguments both for and against each ballot initiative and you will begin to see the pamphlets distributed across the state in the next few months," Hosemann wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "You will also see our agency traveling the state holding at least one public hearing in each of the old five congressional districts regarding the three ballot initiatives."
Leslie Riley, a Pontotoc resident who sponsored the anti-abortion initiative, said he traveled 600 miles around the state on Tuesday, trying to win support for a proposed constitutional amendment that says life begins at conception.
"We're working on literature. We have a couple of handouts. Basically, we just tell people. Mississippians are overwhelmingly pro-life," Riley said Thursday.
The Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation sponsored the initiative that would prohibit the government from taking private land through use of eminent domain to give to another person or business. Greg Gibson, a spokesman for the federation, said the group is still working on its education plan.
Republican Gov. Haley Barbour and others have opposed legislative efforts to restrict eminent domain. Opponents have said such a proposal could hurt economic development since eminent domain is often used to acquire property for projects.
Sen. Joey Fillingane, R-Sumrall, said he'll continue to work the Mississippi Republican Party and tea party groups to spread the word about the initiative that will require voters to show photo ID to cast a ballot. Fillingane said those groups helped him get the required 89,000-plus signatures to put the proposal on the ballot.
Rep. Willie Bailey, D-Greenville, opposed the voter ID initiative, and said he would urge voters not to pass it. Many Democrats have argued that the bill harkens to Jim Crow and is intended to suppress turnout of poor and black voters.
"I'm going to encourage the people to vote against it. I think it's trying to discourage a lot of minorities from voting. I don't think there's any voter fraud to any magnitude that requires identification. It's on the ballot purely to pull out the Republican base in this election year," Bailey said Thursday.
Bailey said he expected the Mississippi chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to mount a campaign against voter ID. Derrick Johnson, the state NAACP president, couldn't be reached for comment on Thursday.

|North Couloir solo
Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2011
|Front-pointing in trail runners sucks. I would have been happier in boots and with two tools, but it wasn't that sketchy, and sure beats the slog from Treasure Col. Trip report
|Posted Jul 29, 2011 5:23 pm
|North Couloir (what else?)
|Simul-climbed this with Robert Hanson in July in the early-mid '90s. Hard neve to actually some blue ice up high. Let a bottle of gin cooling in Treasure Lakes for martinis back at camp.

|Instead of climbing Treasure Col I climbed Peak 12,600 which is to the right of the Col, Class 3, there was a register there left by an SPS party in 1981, then I did the slog up to Gilbert, then to peak 12,800 South of Gilbert, then the N. Ridge of Johnson, very fun day.

|Fun climb, although the ice wasn't 'in' yet - just a smattering if ice beneath very cruddy and irregular neve. Harrington Couloir on Mt Thompson was in much better condition. The climb at the top was fun - the 5.6 variation was fun, although very short.

|Although we took climbing hardware (6 screws, 4 cams, mixed set of nuts and hexes, carabiners, quickdraws, cordolettes, and runners) and a 9.8mm x 60m rope, Tom Hartger and I ended up soloing the North Couloir in about 1hr 20min under "cruising" conditions - perfect neve (firn). We each had 2 tools. The 4th class ramp/low angle dihedral people talk about looked like 3rd class to me. We started at the base of the couloir at 8:20am and summited two hours later at 10:20am. There was not even a single cloud in the sky, sunny, a bit breezy....just a beautiful day in the Sierras.

|Climbed steep snow chute leading to notch by Pk 12640+, and followed the ridge to summit. There was somewhere between 6"-12" of fresh powder atop the Sierra Crest, which made the going a bit tedious.
Traversed over to Mt. Johnson on the way back, which was great fun--excellent class 3.

|Route Climbed: Gilbert Ice Couloir (AKA North or Engram Couloir) Date Climbed: October 12, 1998
|I climbed this ice couloir two times (never roped) in the last few years. First time with Eric Klostermann in 10 hours RT from South Lake in October of 1998 and second time with Michael Gordon in August of 2000. This ice couloir can be a really good, one day RT car-to-car, solo outing. Several of my friends do it every year, just for training. The fact, that one climbs up the gully and down the Treasure Col back to the Treasure Lakes trail and the car, allows for this. There really is not ANY 5.6 climbing, if one follows the easiest way. From the notch at the top of the couloir, drop down 40 feet, traverse left 20 feet, climb 4th class ramp that changes into low angle corner. 200 feet of this gets you to the summit. This is one of the best ice gullies in the Sierra, because of it's position, because it's away from major trails and you can easily do the climb in a day from your car at South Lake. Recommended.

|Route Climbed: Southeast Slopes Date Climbed: June 14, 2002
|As a warmup for attempting the Williamson dayhike the following day, I climbed Mts. Gilbert and Johnson out of South Lake. The SE Slope on Gilbert is mostly a slog, but the climb up to Treasure Col was fun. Trip Report

|Route Climbed: North Couloir Date Climbed: July 1979, Sept. 1983
|I first climbed this awesome ice route in 1979 with Britt Reeves under warm conditions, with perfect neve. Unroped of course. Came back in Sept. 1983, right after a big snow dump. Climbed it this time with Tim Winiarski and Mike Meng. 900' of 65 degree powder snow over water ice. Talk about scared! I watched avalanches ( caused by Tim ) make my boots disappear. A real epic! Unroped of course! But the class 4 - 5 at the top covered with powder snow was definitely the crux ( a lot easier when dry )!

The date was December 24, 1965. It was Christmas Eve, and there was aharsh snowstorm hitting the Rockies when Commerce City, Colorado's KenZiebarth accompanied his friend, Eric to the Chevy dealership in searchof a new truck.
The weather was bitter-cold and there was snoweverywhere, but Eric wanted to buy one of those brand-new 1966 Chevypick-ups with the big rear window. Ken, being the good friend that hewas, agreed to give Eric a ride.
They walked the entire new car lot ofBurt Chevrolet in Englewood, Colorado, through snow, but Eric neverspotted the right truck. As they were leaving, the young men walkedpassed the showroom, where a brand-new Mosport Green '66 Corvette 327coupe greeted them in all its grandeur. Not inclined to lose a potentialsale, a salesman by the name of Gene McClain tried to persuade Eric toforget the truck and try out the Vette instead. Eric told the salesman,in no uncertain terms, that plastic sports cars weren't exactly his cupof tea. They were more of his pal Ken's predilection.
Ken was indeedimpressed with the Corvette, but he didn't care for the "British RacingGreen" on it, to which the salesman suggested taking a look at anotherVette on the lot just like it. It was a brand new Nassau Blue '65 coupewith a 375-horsepower Rochester fuel-injected 327, four-speed, and awhite-with-blue interior. Its option package was an extremely uniquemixture of luxury and sheer performance. In addition to the mostpowerful 327 small-block available, it also had a special-order,close-ratio four-speed, a 4.56:1-geared Posi, a heavy-duty F40suspension, and power brakes. But with regular steel wheels and hubcaps, it was also equipped with genuine leather seats, a teakwoodsteering wheel, power windows, the Comfort and Convenience Group'sday/night mirror and backing lamps, and an AM/FM radio. The coupe hadapparently been ordered by another dealership who intended to go racing,but for one reason or another things fell through and it wound up on theBurt Chevrolet lot.
At first sight, Ken's heart began to flutter, but hedidn't have the money to indulge in a new sports car.
That's when thesalesman, Gene, swooped in for the kill. He said that it was Christmas,and suggested that Ken make him an offer anyway. "I told him I only hadabout $3,000 in the bank and the '60 Bonneville we drove there in," Kenrecalls. "He replied that since I'd made an offer, he'd take it in, andsee what happens. When he came back, he said that if I took it today, Icould have the Vette for $3,000 plus the Bonneville!" Ken was amazed bythe deal, but he wasn't about to buy a car he'd never driven. So, withGene riding shotgun and his buddy Eric wedged into the back of thetwo-seater, and with a blizzard raging around them, Ken took the '65Fuelie for a 30-mile testdrive.
It was indeed true love, so Ken ranstraight for the bank to drain his savings and bid farewell to hisPontiac in order to drive the Corvette home. "It all happened just thatfast. I never really had a chance to think about it, but that was thebest deal I've ever made in my life!"
Before the incredibly spontaneousevents at the dealership, Ken had planned a ski trip with some friendsfor Christmas Day. Now, however, he no longer had the car he was goingto drive up to the mountains. Ken wasn't about to let that detail standin the way, so the very same day he bought the Vette, he got snow tiresand attached a ski rack to its deck. The following day was the first ofmany ski trips that Ken and his '65 would make together.
It's beennearly 40 years since that fateful Christmas Eve, and Ken is still everybit as fond of that mid-year as ever. Ken, now 76-years-young, neversettled down enough to get married, and spent most of his career on theroad as a truck driver. That left relatively little time at home, whichin turn means that his Vette never had the opportunity to rack up toomany miles. "She doesn't have a lot of miles, but we've had a lot ofexperiences. The Corvette was my party tool. Whenever I was out for fun,that car was always there with me," says Ken.

Report by Lou Stoppard on 24 February 2013.
There was more freedom in the tone of this collection compared to last season's austere palette of navy, white and burgundy. She'd opted for 'high-carat femininity', which was realised through a range of gemstone colours. This was about preciousness and precision.

The City's water quality and supply is maintained by the Water Division, a department within the Sierra Madre Public Works. By providing consistently high quality service to the residents of Sierra Madre we can ensure a safe and reliable method of water delivery for all users. We continue to look for ways we can improve and maintain the City's water infrastructure.
The Water Division has two sources by which they pump, treat, and distribute water. One source of the water supply is derived from four wells drawing from the East Raymond Basin aquifer. The second source is derived from two natural spring tunnels located in our foothills.

Documents relating to the Water Division including those about the water rate increase are on the website in the Documents and the Document Archive sections. You may also file a Request for Public Records if you are unable to locate a specific document.

ELCA (the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America: 4.6 million members) approved this resolution on 21 August 2009, by a vote of 559 to 451, at their biennial Churchwide Assembly in Minneapolis. Previously, celibate homosexuals were allowed to be ordained. Now, it is required that a commitment to one (sexual) partner is the norm.
By so doing, it has removed itself from historic Protestant orthodoxy and moral teaching and makes inevitable a schism within the ranks that may be as momentous as that which has plagued Anglicanism, for the same reasons.
The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) has denounced the decision, as have the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), and the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS).

According to a report from VG24/7 yesterday, the Gaikai service, which was acquired by Sony last year, will apparently be used to stream current PlayStation 3 titles that are being released for the first time.
The PlayStation 4 will not only be using the cloud-gaming service, but it will still maintain its roots with allowing most games to be run via a physical copy.
All of this is supposed to be unveiled at the PlayStation event this coming week along with a more advance for the PlayStation Mov camera and a new touch-pad screen.
There are no guesses right now as to how much this service will be costing gamers, but it's another step away from the used gaming side of business.
We previously documented what Gaikai is looking to do heading into whatever function it serves next.
Gaikai will incorporate a streaming service to gaming platforms that is time sensitive, but still at the same time, maintains high quality graphics and gaming content.
"Games are uploaded to our datacenters located broadly around the world. They are then streamed using high-end servers to internet-connected devices, similar to the way videos are streamed to your computer, except interactively.
"Our technology is such that we can stream the world's most graphically rich video games and other content instantly to almost any device, anywhere," Gaikai said.
Sony's acquisition, which occurred during July of this year, was driven by the reputation that Gaikai has built up and the inevitable shift gaming will eventually make toward cloud gaming.
"Gaikai has developed the highest quality, fastest interactive cloud-streaming platform in the world—a platform capable of delivering games and other interactive content instantly to consumers via the Internet.

Please don't use javascript for this.
Or if you do, at least consider what will happen if your user doesn't have js enabled. I don't see why

List element text

 ...

Wouldn't work for you, though.

I was assuming he didn't have access to the code behind that renders these elements. Then again, I don't get why he would want a link in the side nav that isn't already there. It's a nav bar... why add an image link in there? If it's for visible purposes, then I would advise adding it as a background image.
Then again, it might help if he listed his actual problem rather than for just a solution to an isolation code issue.

Try easy and healthy after-school treats that will keep everyone satisfied at snack time
Go for a dip: Mix 1 1/2 cups vanilla yogurt with 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder to make a tasty dip for cut-up fruit.
Veg out: Instead of corn or potato chips, crunch on baked vegetable chips instead. Flat Earth makes a variety of flavors, with both fruits and veggies.
Blaze a trail: Combine unsalted mixed nuts, raisins or dried cranberries, mini pretzels and sunflower seeds to make your own trail mix. Allergic to nuts? Swap in multigrain Cheerios instead.
Get corny: Air-pop popcorn and sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons grated Parmesan and 1/2 tsp. dried oregano to turn it into a pizza-inspired treat.
Have a fiesta: Try baked tortilla chips instead of fried, and serve with tomato salsa or reduced-fat refried beans dip.
Make fun freezer treats: Fill paper cups with your favorite yogurt, cover the tops with aluminum foil and poke a whole in the center of each. Insert a wooden popsicle stick and freeze to make your own yogurt pops.
Dry off: You can find many different kinds of dried fruits at most grocery stores these days instead of the usual bananas and apricots. For a kick, try dried mango that's been sprinkled with a bit of lime juice and dusted with chili powder.
SNACK EXTRA: Practice healthy portions
Choose pre-portioned treats to take the guess work out of snack time. Healthy Handfuls come in a few sizes so you can choose which one is right for your family.

It wont affect my manager career at all, said Ortiz on a recent media conference call. Im not the only one running Primetime 360. (George Prajin is) one of my partners, and weve got a couple of other people that work with us closely and diligently as they possibly can.
The first client Primetime 360 signed was Invicta featherweight champion Cris Cyborg Justino, formerly known as Cris Santos.
Cris is going to continue to be champion, and continue to be dominant by being the baddest woman on the planet Earth and the number one pound-for-pound woman on this Earth, said Ortiz. We got a great team behind us with the trainers, with the management, with the PR group. Everything were going to do were going to continue doing.
While competing in the UFC, Ortiz ran a clothing company and did some acting, among other things. Hes used to multitasking.
Its not going to be any downside at all, I dont think. Ive been running Punishment Athletics since the beginning of 1999 while I was fighting, he said. You cant run a business on your own. You have other people that bring in the attributes of being the best you can possibly be and thats what Im going continue doing.
Im a workhorse, added Ortiz. People who worked with me in the last company that I worked with, I was the workhorse. I was always on time for every meeting. I was pushing the company as hard as I possibly could, pushing the brand of mixed martial arts as hard as I possibly could. And Ill continue doing exactly the same thing.

Rated 3.6 out of 5Â by 10 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by LyndieLou Cute but too itchy for me! I really wanted to love this because it looks so cute and soft in the photo, but the moment I received it in the mail I had a feeling it would be too itchy. I tried it on and that sealed the deal - way too itchy for me and I'm not sure a long sleeved shirt underneath would resolve. The fit is very boxy. I typically wear a M-L in Free People and ordered a large in this and the sleeves were on the tight side and the rest was really bulky and boxy and falls off the shoulders, just not a good look for my body type and don't want to be breaking out from scratchy wool. Returned. 10.12.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by isee cozy and warm i was lucky enough to find this sweater at the store when they had 20% off all sale items and for 80 bucks it's a great deal, in my opinion. i tried it on over a tank top and didn't feel any itching or biting. i'm 5'8 and 150lb, usually wear a medium and got this in medium and it fits great, i don't find it boxy at all. it covers the butt and looks great with skinny jeans and boots. in person it looks more blue than on the pictures. it's a cozy sweater that will still be cute even when it's really old and worn out. but i wouldn't have paid the full price for it - that's why 4 stars only. 12.10.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Hardtail Glad they changed the model and pictures This sweater looked very different in the original pictures they had. It looked shorter, more fitted and a thinner weave. I was really excited for such a great look but when it arrived it was more like this. Cute but a much looser style. On my 5'5" build a small looked frumpy. Oh well. It is still cute but not what I thought it was. 10.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cathryngo Beautiful! Love the sweater, comfortable, beautiful...but you can buy 2 sizes down for a comfy fit! It runs very large to size-be sure to check out the measurements when buying! 2.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by pala Great Sweater! I did a double take when I saw the price for this sweater! So glad I got my hands on one. It's exactly as pictured. The colors are great and go with so many things. I need to wear something under it, for the itch factor, but I do all my sweaters. It "bells out" a little at the bottom, but none the less it is a true steel for the money. I 've already worn it a lot! 2.7.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by electtralyte Weird Shape I really wanted this to work, but it has such a strange shape. It bells out at the bottom like maternity wear. It is a nice quality sweater and pattern, but NOOOOO 2.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by starrr FAVORITE SWEATER EVER Seriously. All caps warranted. I am 5'3" 130lbs and got a medium. it is huge on me, but i loooove disappearing into it's warmth and i think the off the shoulder look is hot. I could have exchanged for a small and it would have fit more like on the model. Every single time I wear this sweater, someone has something to say about it..from "where did you get it?" to "did someone hand knit that for you? it is so beautiful" Seriously...snatch this one up. 1.30.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by gauri A very cosy and warm sweater I bought this at the sale price, and it is definitely value for money at the sale price. The sweater is chunky, without being heavy and its incredibly WARM. I love the pocket out in front. However, the sweater definitely runs large. I bought a small but will be returning it for an XS. Well-worth as a winter wardrobe. 1.30.2013

John Cook School of Business Seminar SeriesEvent Details: 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m., September 16, John Cook School of Business Atrium
The John Cook School of Business will host the first of its Fall 2011 Seminar Series from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sept. 16 in room L-27 at the John Cook School of Business Atrium.
Brian Betker, Ph. D., will present "A comparison of single factor and multiple factor alphas used in measuring mutual fund performance."
Synopsis of the paper
Conversations between this paper's authors about measuring mutual fund performance led them to realize that the practitioner and the academic were looking at alpha in potentially rather different ways. The standard practitioner-oriented databases report single-factor alphas (S&P 500, best fit or style allocation), whereas standard academic practice to is to use the three- or four-factor models of Fama and French (1993) and Carhart (1997) to estimate alpha. It seemed logical to ask whether this made any difference when evaluating funds. We look at absolute performance as well as relative performance (quartile rankings).
We find that single-factor alphas are larger than multi-factor alphas by 50 to 75 basis points on average. This result is concentrated in small cap funds; large cap fund alphas are not meaningfully different using best-fit or style allocation alphas compared to three- or four-factor alphas. However, for small cap funds the single-factor methods produce alphas that are more than 200 basis points larger than the multi-factor methods. Single factors alphas are also more likely to show persistence than multi-factor alphas. When it comes to relative performance, funds that are ranked as top-quartile by the single-factor methods are not ranked as top-quartile 20 to 25 percent of the time when using multi-factor methods.

I'm looking at a laptop to replace my worn 3 year old machine.
I'm looking at an HP Envy dv6t select edition and am curious primarily on the graphics performance as I will be playing a few games.
gt 635m
Win 8
The display is a backlit LED (new on a laptop for me) and only has a resolution of 1366x768.
I'll be using it for basic photoshop and encore tasks, visual studio 2010 (just starting to learn), dvd ripping with handbrake and a few games consisting of:
Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age 2
Age of Empires 3
Mass Effect 3
the new Sim City
I'm replacing 3 year old hp dv6z thats running a Turion II M520 with integrated HD 4200 graphics with 4GB. I know the newer specs are heads and tales over the older, but I'm curious on what to expect from the newer GPU's performance.

The study of communication is a multidisciplinary effort to understand the constant, varied, and complex transmission and exchange of information, knowledge, and ideas. The extensive nature of communication means that efforts to study it span multiple epistemologies and methodologies. Also, given the changing media landscape, scholars and professionals must constantly consider new content, technologies, processes and effects, and theories of communication. The overlapping domains of communication make it challenging to stay informed about every applicable area. A great deal of this work has moved online with the most recent scholarship, research, and statistics appearing in online databases. Oxford Bibliographies in Communication will provide much-needed guidance for students and scholars at every level.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Ryan and Katie Moi have been the toast of their Eugene, Oregon, community this week because they found $13,000 in cash on the street, and returned the bonanza to its rightful owner.
Ryan Moi, 25, told ABC News they've gotten lots of praise, but not everyone was so congratulatory.
"We've had mixed comments, you know, from people telling us that we should have kept it, that we made a mistake, telling us no one would ever have found out," he said.
The pair happened upon the money on Monday afternoon. They were driving along busy Coburg Road in Eugene when they saw a bank deposit bag in the road. They stopped, opened it up and saw a thick wad of hundred-dollar bills inside, Ryan said.
"We both kind of… we were speechless for about three, four minutes, our hearts racing, but we both figured that someone had probably lost it," he said.
Their father, Erik, lived nearby, so they took the money to him because they thought he would know what to do.
Erik Moi said he was in the shower when his children stopped by. "I heard them in the living room screaming 'Dad, we found $13,000,'" he said.
In addition to the cash, the bag contained a slip indicating the total amount of the cash as well as checks made out to Reliable Credit Association, an Oregon-based consumer finance company. Reliable has an office not far from Erik Moi's house, and he happened to know the manager, so he offered to take the money there that afternoon.
He recalled going in to see the manager.
"I said 'Kyle, you missing something?' And I handed him the bag and he just kind of turned white," Erik Moi recalled.
Reliable presented the siblings each with a $200 Visa gift card on Wednesday, Ryan Moi said, adding that he and his sister have both received job offers. Someone who read about what they had done bought Katie Moi, 21, a new MacBook laptop to replace the one that was stolen from her.
