Renewals of Goddard Library items may be requested by e-mail or by phone (firstname.lastname@example.com / 978.646.4074). You will need to provide the circulation staff with a list of all items to be renewed, along with their call numbers. You can also renew your books online (instructions given below). Please note the following renewal periods:
- Circulating books: up to three renewals of 28 days each if book has not been recalled
- Reserve items: unlimited renewals unless book has been requested by another person
- Videos & DVD's: NO renewals
- Cassettes & CD's: 7 days
Inter-Library Loans: determined by the lending library. See ILL policy.

How to Renew Online
- Go to the Library Catalog: http://onlinecatalog.gordonconwell.edu
- Click the "My Account" link.
- Enter your Patron / Alternate ID Number (this is typically your GCTS student ID).
- Enter your PIN (by default the last four digits of your GCTS student ID).
- Click the Submit Request button.
- Click the "Current Loans" button in the left menu to display a list of items you have checked out.
- Review the list of items you have out and put a check next to the ones you would like to renew.
Click the "Renew" button at the top of the list.
The screen will reload, indicating the new due dates, and showing the message "Item(s) have been renewed."
- If you receive an error message, or if you have any difficulties, contact the Circulation Desk at email@example.com.
Reserve Materials
Items professors deem important are placed on reserve. These materials are kept behind the circulation desk and need to be requested for check out. All items are listed on the library catalog (see here) and can be viewed in a reserve notebook kept at the circulation desk. Items are listed by professor and class. When making your request for reseve materials, please have the call number(s) ready.
A hold may be placed on an item that has already been checked out by another patron. When a hold is placed, the library contacts the current borrower, asking them to return the item as soon as possible. The current borrower is under no obligation to return the until the end of their first loan period. Placing a hold will, however, prevent the current borrower from renewing the item. All items are subject to immediate recall after they have been in a borrower's possession for 28 days. Items that are needed for course reserves are subject for immediate recall regardless of how long they have been in the borrower's possession.
Only current students, faculty and staff may place a hold. Hold request forms are available at the circulation desk for those who qualify. Eligible patrons can also place hold requests online. To monitor or cancel a hold, log into your Library account. (See above for log-in instructions.)
As of February 1, 2013, all Gordon-Conwell libraries have adopted a new overdue book policy:
Fines are no longer be collected for overdue items, with the exception of those items placed on Course Reserves and items obtained by InterLibrary Loan.
Once an item is overdue:
- Patrons with the overdue item will be sent four notices of their overdue items (once per week after the item is overdue).
- All borrowing privileges for patrons with overdue items will be suspended.
- All overdue items can be returned before the fourth notice without incurring any fines.
- Once items have been returned, borrowing privileges will be restored.
After the fourth notice: (sent twenty-eight days after the items are overdue)
- The items will be declared "long overdue" and essentially considered "lost." *
- The patron will be charged a minimum of $100 for each item.
- If the publisher's suggested price of a single item exceeds $100, the patron will be charged the full price, plus a $15.00 processing fee.
- These replacement charges will be sent to the seminary Accounting Office for collection.
- The library will purchase replacement copies.
- The patron will then "own" the items that have been declared lost.
*Please note that the library STRONGLY encourages patrons who actually lose items (or damage them beyond repair) to contact the library staff as soon as possible to explain the situation. The library has no desire to charge more than the cost of a quality replacement of the same edition in such cases.
Overdue Course Reserves will result in a $10.00 fine per item, per day. As is the current practice, any patron with a $10.00 fine will have borrowing privileges revoked.
Consent is required of all students, staff, faculty and guest patrons of GCTS libraries before checkout. Any library user must read and consent to the revised fine policy before checking out any library items. Consent can be given either online or by signing a written form at the circulation desk.
Reading Room Guidelines
General behavior and conduct should comply with the Community Life Statement found in the current GCTS Student Handbook.
- Do not re-shelve items. Return items with which you are finished to the Circulation Desk (whether they have been checked out or not). Return Reference books and bound periodicals to the designated area(s) in the reading room. Current periodicals may be left on the round tables in upstairs Reading Room.
- Do not have more than 6 Reference books in your possession at a time. This will provide other persons an opportunity to use limited resources.
- Do not leave books on tables, at the end of shelves, or on the floor.
- Do not leave personal items in the library overnight, except at an assigned carrel.
- Do not leave unchecked books, Reference books or periodicals in a carrel overnight. Fines apply! (See above.)
- If you remove books from a shelf, push in the bookend so the rest of the books don't fall over. Do not borrow library bookends for your office or carrel.
- If you move furniture, return it to its original location when you leave.
- The library has a liberal policy of allowing coffee, water, juice, etc. in the reading rooms in closed and non-spillable containers. IF you spill a beverage, please report it to the Circulation Desk immediately so the stain can be treated early.
- Keep cell phone and computer noises turned off while in the Library. If you need to answer a cell phone, step outside of the reading rooms to talk.
- Maintain a clean study area for the next student by throwing your trash in the wastebasket, removing any drink containers, and pushing in your chair when you leave.

Toledo to honor football team, support Coaches vs. CancerWritten by Zach Davis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
During halftime of the Rockets men's basketball game on Jan. 28 at 7 p.m., the University of Toledo will honor its football team for its success in the 2011 season.
The event will include the official presentation of the 2011 Military Bowl trophy, which the team earned in a 42-41 victory on Dec. 28 in first-year head coach Matt Campbell's first game.
During the game, UT men's basketball coach Tod Kowalczyk and his staff will be wearing suits and sneakers on the sidelines as a part of the Ninth Annual Coaches vs. Cancer Suits & Sneakers weekend. Nearly 4,000 head and assistant basketball coaches across the U.S. are expected to participate in the weekend.
"We are excited that basketball coaches nationwide are joining in the fight against this deadly disease," said Cynthia M. LeBlanc, the volunteer board chair of the American Cancer Society. "Coaches are truly influential celebrities within their communities; they can reach fans and share important information about reducing the risk of cancer by encouraging healthy lifestyle choices."
Coaches vs. Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches that empowers basketball coaches, their teams and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer.

How were the celeb nude photos leaked, and can we prevent it from happening again? (Updated) September 2, 2014 at 2:36 pm
As you may have heard, a large number of private, mostly nude, celebrity photos were leaked onto the internet on August 31. Despite an impressive number of stories dedicated to unproven theories about various potential attack vectors, there is still no clear evidence of how the private photos were obtained. Let's discuss how the celebrity nudes might've been obtained — and, more importantly, how to prevent such a debacle from happening again in the future.
Staying safe in the outback: Australian iCloud users' iPhones are being hijacked May 28, 2014 at 4:58 pm

BitTorrent Sync released: The secure, cloud-avoiding sync tool you've been waiting for July 17, 2013 at 12:29 pm
Perhaps the company's most important innovation since its co-founder Bram Cohen released the BitTorrent protocol in 2001, BitTorrent Sync is now available to download. Sync is a free tool that synchronizes files across all of your devices, and also allows you to share those files with friends and family (a la Dropbox). Most importantly, though, Sync is based on the peer-to-peer BitTorrent protocol, so your files move directly from one device to another, never passing through a midpoint.

The UCF Knights pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the young college basketball season, defeating the No. 18/No. 16 Florida Gators 57-54 in Orlando Wednesday.
However, watching this Florida team, the term "upset" is far from appropriate.
Leading scorer Vernon Macklin (20 points, 10-11 FG) excluded, the Gators shot a putrid 28.2 percent from the field and 15.4 percent from three-point range.
Making matters worse for UF is that UCF trounced the Gators in the battle of benches, outscoring Florida's reserves 18-6.
Marcus Jordan, Michael's son, led the Knights in scoring with 18 points in UCF's upset victory.

If you do not have proper Chicago Heights auto insurance coverage the pleasures of steering your new machine can be short lived. It takes a lot of sacrifice to buy your dream car. People opt for auto loans or personal savings to purchase the models that they fancy. This is a brave step that most people make so long as they can meet their personal desires. .
Most states do not approve driving a car that is not insured. It might be up to you to decide the amount of coverage yes, but you have to meet the minimum standards set by your state. This law strictly applies in almost all countries across the globe. To be on the safe side of the law then, you have no option but to insure your car. The penalties for driving an insured vehicle are always very harsh. You may end up having your vehicle impounded or your license revoked for an overly long period.
It is the wish of many drivers to wave away the thought of ever being involved in a road crash. However, taking precaution is much more important since everyone faces a blurred future. Auto insurance is intended to protect you from personal liability if you happen to be involved in an accident. For instance, your insurance company will help you pay hospital bills or monetary awards if someone got injured or died when an accident occurred and you were at fault.
There is always a possibility that even the keenest drivers can accidentally hit another vehicle cannot be overruled. Vehicles experience mechanical problems everyday and you may have to handle expensive repairs if you happen to hit another vehicle. Depending on the insurance coverage that you have, your insurance company can handle the repairs. The same case can also apply if you get hit by someone who does not have insurance. In addition to protecting your car, you need to protect yourself from harsh fines by buying the right auto insurance.

J33f added a comment on a file Legend BBcodeGuess its two years too late to say that this bbcode doesn't work as suggested.
That's supposed to be the same thing...
J33f added a post in a topic Only disapointmentHMm... only if he's paid for it.
It's 65 $.
J33f added a comment on a file MineCraftAdd a banner Server Ticker for an actual Minecraft server and this might be something original.
Otherwise it's just a rip from Minecraft . net's forums on the Default IP.Board theme.
And honestly, as your first skin, you shouldn't be so prideful to assume it should be bought and paid for.
Build a portfolio of honest work and good looking stuff (that's original) and go from there.
J33f added a post in a topic The Search Function has A.D.D.?
While I understand what you're saying, putting quotations around the word "Dice" seems a bit redundant, seeing as the Search query has NOTHING else to search for, but Dice. Lol.
J33f added a topic in Product FeedbackThe Search Function has A.D.D.?I've noticed this time and time again with the search function in IPB and I'm wondering what in the world the code is actually doing when you punch something into the search function.
I come to your forum, looking for a specific mod. So I type in "Dice" because I'm looking for a Dice Rolling mod and it brings up like 8 pages worth of stuff, of which 3 posts are dedicated to old mods and the rest don't make any sense, lol.
What exactly does the software do when you plug something like that in?

I'm also using 3.3, sadly, so I'm waiting for this mod update to arrive. ;]

Great shoe for lifting

Comments about Mens Inov-8 FastLift 335 Cross Training Shoe:
This shoe has a very stable platform for lifting. Not squishy like most crosstrainers - there's not much padding so I wouldn't recommended running or high imapct workouts in these. But for squats, deadlifts,etc. they're great. They keep your foot and heel stable, no slidding or pronating, and they look pretty good too.I wear a US 14 and these fit spot on.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect Lifting Shoes!
By Rena
from Central Texas
Comments about Womens Inov-8 FastLift 315 Cross Training Shoe:
After being dissatisfied with my Reebok Lifters, I needed to find a lifting shoe that would offer me the heel support to safely and correctly perform my lifting elements in CrossFit. After finding a great deal on these Inov-8 FastLift 315 shoes, I thought I would give them a try. What a world of difference they've made! I began CrossFit a year and a half ago at 46 years old and am no "athlete". But these shoes help me stay in position throughout the lifts and make me feel athletic, knowing I'm set up right for the pull and lift. Excellent shoes!

In the spirit of being grateful, I thought I might start a new tradition. Here is my list of things I am grateful for in the technology space this year:
- That the Web, software, hardware, and bandwidth have conspired over the past 10 years to create a VERY cool set of tools that help organizations prosper. At the same time, I am glad I know how to use them because the companies that failed to learn when they had the opportunity are dying off.
- I love to learn, and I am so thankful that social tools now give me an ability to soak up information on any subject I want at any moment I want. I grew up in the age of physical libraries so I have not forgotten what a blessing it is to have information at my fingertips.
- I am thankful I still know more about technology than my kids. Because I am in the tech business, I take this as a point of pride. And, because they could pass me any day, I am happy at this moment that I still know more than they do.
- That Apple got up off the map with the second coming of Steve Jobs and stuck with their obsession with design. Seriously, what would the world of devices look like if Apple had not set a bar others had to match? If you think about the decade of beige metal IBM PC's CPU's, and then think about competitor Microsoft's design capabilities (other than the Xbox) , it is no contest.
- I am very thankful we continue to miniaturize everything technology-based. The smaller and lighter things are, the easier it is to carry, use, and share them.
- That people generally use technology tools to connect with me in the right ways. I publish all the ways that people can get in touch with me on my Website and have always trusted that people would have discretion in how they use them. Other than the occasional random text message, people are great at communicating appropriately.
- I love that the battery capacities on the devices we use are slowly getting better. I fly all the time and being able to have juice when I need it means a lot to me.
- We take this for granted, but I love that bandwidth providers (wired and wireless) just keep giving us more speed. When you are my age, you remember every stage we have gone through – including the now archaic 300 baud modem.
- I am thankful that we are building smarter software systems. Every once in a while, a piece of software does something that just seems magical. The other day I asked Siri a question, and she understood and took action without me giving specific instructions (Star Trek did not even have this).
- Finally, I am thankful for my family, for my co-workers, for my friends, and for my clients. Without you, all the technology in the world would be worthless!!

"This is a wonderful, dark, beef stew that is great over noodles."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
bacon, diced
1 tablespoon
20 small
boiling onions, peeled
3 cloves
garlic, minced
2 pounds
lean beef chuck, trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
16 ounces
dark beer
1/2 bunch
fresh parsley, chopped
lemon, juiced and zested
1 tablespoon
grated lemon zest
This is the BEST beef stew recipe I've ever made! I don't know what it was, the beer,the lemon juice, the bacon that gave this stew such a wonderful flavor, but it really was wonderful. I did the prep on the stove and then cooked it in the crock-pot. A keeper.
Well, this is just fair but strays too far from a true Belgian stew - we are going back to our old recipe. Carbonnade should have belgian or similar ale and vinegar - not lemon juice.
Take lean stew beef, dredged in flour - brown and deglaze pan with broth, set aside.
Thick slices of regular onions (1.5 pounds) and 6 cloves of garlic crushed - brown on low heat until onions are caramelized - very dark and sweet. Add 2 cans beef broth, 2 tsp thyme, 2 bay leaves, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tsps red wine vinegar and 16-24 ozs beer like Bass Ale.
Cook 2 hours at 325, take lid off for the last hour to thicken. Add 2 - 3 more tsp red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper - serve over egg noodles.

I added lots more garlic and used Guinness as the beer. Everything was great until I added the lemon juice at the end, which drowned out all the other flavors and was really over-the-top. I'll try the recipe again (and again with more garlic and with Guinness); I'll definitely leave out the lemon juice, though.
Having no idea what Belgium Beef Stew would turn out to be, everyone was pleasantly surprised in the depth of the flavor. Very easy and yet flavorful, definitely will make again.
Really unusual but excellent dish. I mean, beer and lemon juice? With beef and bacon??? Something about the combination of flavors just makes for a fantastic, memorable stew. I would serve this to company.
I recently used this recipe for a beer-themed party. Though it takes 2 hours to cook, it definitely has a great flavor. It tastes great with beer bread. I substituted ground beef chuck and it looked a little less classy than it could've, but everyone enjoyed it. My only problem was the large amounts of fatty bacon in the stew, and also that it was much soupier than I'd thought it would be. I think if I make it again, I might use a bit less bacon and a little more flour. I definitely loved the lemon taste mixed with the beer--and I don't even like beer!
This is a tasty, rather decadent stew. Another similar recipe suggested topping it with Dijon-smeared pieces of french bread, which was yummy and might offset the "soupy" concern some have.
Too much bacon for our taste. It gave the beef a strong smoky flavor.

The Work at Home Mom beauty regime, an oxymoron?
Filed under: Work Life
I have long suspected I am not alone in this personal presentation issue. The folks here at ParentDish are mostly a Work from Home crew, so I polled our writers to see if they had the same problems with stumbling to the keyboard to work while putting off hygiene until it either reaches an odoriferous status of emergency proportions or one of their kids has a school play requiring the presence of a clean parent. Some of the results are as follows:
- A number of our staff showers before we start working, that way we stay somewhat in sync with the rest of society and we don't have to interrupt our work flow later in the day to bathe.
- One clean item of clothing, usually a pair of pants, seems to be a big boost in morale for a number of our writers.
- Another staff writer routinely curls her eyelashes and wears lip gloss. Not only does this bit of sparkle make her feel snappy but her UPS guy is rumored to be pretty hot.
- One member goes the full distance. She finds ironing to be therapeutic and so dons a matching, ironed outfit on most days. This gives her that crisp, soothing line down her pants and the ability to take her boys to the park anytime of day without feeling like she should hide behind a tree from the other moms.
Do you have a beauty routine? Anything you can't live without as you go through your day?

I'm lucking to even take a shower every day. lol.....I have long forgotten about makeup, UNLESS I have to go the a PTA meeting which in turns means I actually take a shower, dry hair, apply makeup, etc. (you know all those PTA moms roll out of bed looking like the cover to some mag!!) MY poor dr doesn't even get the makeup version of me....lol
My own children don't care how I dress, but my nieces are old enough (and nice enough) to remind me to at least match and put a hat on.

Wow, and here I was impressing myself with my clean underwear mandate (LOL).
It really depends on the day, and now probably isn't a good time for me to assess this, since I am 39 weeks pregnant and just getting my huge self out of bed seems like an accomplishment. But I am a summer person, so putting on the cute maternity tunics and dresses is, for me, better than the winter stuff and inspires me to try a little more with the makeup and hair. I do try for the biweekly pedicure now that my toes are actually visible to the public (but also in large part because I like pampering myself and it's a cheap way to do it). And every once in a while, I will go the full gamut with the makeup (full gamut being a little blush, some eyeliner and a not too bright lipgloss). Showering was actually not a daily occurrence (although some form of "washing up" was) until it got hot as blazes - partially because I only recently had the presence of mind to get one of those bath stools that I could sit on (again with the pregnancy thing)...
That's it for me...

Being a hugely pregnant stay at home mom of two - I find that I'm genuinely happier on the days I do my "routine". Take a shower, put on a little make-up, put on clean clothes, blow dry my hair, deodorant, and "smells good" lotion. Sure, I skip a day every now and then. When I do, my hair is greasy by the early evening and I just feel yucky and ugly! It always seems like a pain in the ass to go through all the "getting ready" stuff - especially when all I'm doing is hanging out at the park and dragging the kids to the grocery store. But ultimately - it does make a difference in how I feel! And I personally, would NEVER go out in PJ's or with food on my clothes. That's just my personal line in the sand! Of course, I don't let my kids out of the house with food on their clothes either. And how do I shower without worrying that my kids are getting into something? I put on a video and they know that if they sit there quietly and refrain from killing eachother, they'll get a piece of gum when I get out. Works for me!
7-02-2007 @ 3:59PMRachel May said...
I'm with you, LT. I HAVE to have a shower every morning.
I usually do it before my husband leaves for work, though. He told me one time that he likes to leave the house knowing that I'm clean, dressed, etc, instead of greasy and still in my nightgown -- because that's what he remembers me as all day long and what he thinks (somehow) he'll be seeing when he comes home at 5:30. I don't think he even remembers telling me all of that -- but I like think that he pictures me in his mind as pretty instead of greasy while he's at work! (Does that make ANY sense???)
Plus, like Heather said in the article, once I'm clean and ready, I can cross it off my mental list. There's no stopping in the middle of something to go do it all because I need to go out -- I can just go out and do what I need to do.
I also work better if I'm physically ready -- makes me more focused because I feel more professional.
7-02-2007 @ 4:27PMMelinda said...
I don't get the shower every day, but probably do at least 4 or 5 days out of the week. Make-up, for me, comes and goes depending on how my complexion is doing. I always put makeup on and fix my hair if I have work that day, but if I'm off I'm at home with a tank top, robe, and headband.

Entry #27. Paul Ginart, Philadelphia, Penn.
Paul is an MD/PhD student in medicine and biomedical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.
A flame is a very special kind of transformation. It's actually a way of turning most solids into air.
Think about burning wood by the fireplace. You start out with a nice brown log, and you light it on fire. It burns away, releasing smoke, light, and heat. After a while, the fire dies down, and you only have bits of ashes left.
But wait a second … Where did the log go? What happened to it? This is the cool part – it actually transformed from a solid wood log to a gas. It turned into the smoke you saw coming off the flames!
This transformation is very special. Turning a solid, touchable object into air sounds pretty hard, right?
That's why flames require special conditions to start. A spark of energy, be it electricity, another fire, an explosion, or rubbing sticks together using friction, is necessary to start the transformation. That's why things don't usually start randomly burning on their own.
And when a flame is there, as the solid object turns into air, the energy inside that object is released, and we see and feel that energy as light and heat.
Some things can transform into air more easily than others depending on what they are made of, and solid parts that cannot transform are left over as ash or char.
So next time you want to feel like a wizard and make a solid object turn into thin air, you can just go light a candle. (With permission from your parents of course.)
Entry #154. Eric Olson, Waltham, Mass.
Eric is a senior lecturer in ecology at Brandeis University.
Have you heard the saying "red hot"? Maybe you have even seen something get so hot it glows? Like how about those wires inside a toaster — they are made of metal and when they get hot they turn bright red, right? So there's clearly a connection between heat and light, for things made of metal. How about lava, have you seen pictures of goopy molten rock? Even rock stuff can glow if you make it a zillion degrees or almost a zillion, so hot it melts. So hot metal lets out light, it gets so hot it glows and hot lava is a liquid that's so hot it lets out light and glows as it flows. Okay, ready now? Because if solids can glow and liquids can glow, what you need to know to understand a flame is that even gases can glow. There's three kinds of matter, right? Solids, liquids, and gases. And when something is burning, like wax (sort of a solid) or wood (solid) or gasoline (liquid), as it burns some of the burning stuff is converted into gases from the intense heat BUT — some of those gases can themselves burn. And what you are seeing when you see a flame is gas that is so hot, it glows. It wiggles and dances around because a gas is not like liquids or solids, it's not held so readily by gravity. Hot metal glows, hot molten rock glows, and now you know that certain flammable gases can also glow. A glowing gas is a flame.
Entry #437. Beth Yountus, Kansas City Mo.
Beth is an electrical engineer who works at Burns & McDonnell.
A flame is like you (a human) and needs oxygen to breathe and must eat to live, except a flame will eat almost anything (wax, wood, paper, etc.). After a flame eats its dinner, it "poops" out part of what it ate in the form of ashes or melted wax.
Entry # 479. Dan Putnam, Sherman Oaks, Cal.
Dan is a plant scientist at the University of California, Davis.
In order to understand a flame, you first have to know what energy is!
In a really basic sense, energy is the ability to do something — like push or pull something. When you have energy, you can kick a soccer ball about a million times, but when you're low on energy, you can't! You get hungry and tired instead, right?
Now, there are other kinds of energy. Did you know heat is energy? You might say "well, how can that push or pull something?" That's a really good question!
If you were to get smaller and smaller and smaller, until you were so small that nobody could see you — and then get even smaller than that, you would find that the universe is made of teensy particles we call atoms. Heat is nothing more than these atoms bouncing around or vibrating! If an atom has no heat, it doesn't move at all. If it has lots of heat, it bounces around like a toddler on a sugar high! If you touch something hot, the bazillions of atoms are banging into your hand over and over again!
So do you understand energy?
What's really strange is that the universe HATES to have energy! If your body is left alone for too long, you'll run out of energy – you'll get tired and hungry. You won't have the strength to lift anything or run or push anything. By the same token, things in nature are always trying to get rid of their energy as best they can. If cold food touches a hot plate, the hot plate will throw as much energy at the cold food as it can… until the food is warm and starts throwing ITS energy back at the plate, or up into the air!
What else does energy do? Well, it breaks stuff apart at a teensy weensy level! Have you ever gotten hit with something so hard that it left a bruise? It forced energy into your body so hard that it broke a blood vessel. Have you ever heated ice up so hot that it melted? You're actually breaking the ice molecules away from one another!
Remember: when things get broken apart, they NEED energy. Conversely, when things come together, they GIVE AWAY energy! Some combinations give away more energy than other things — like vinegar and baking soda. That combination is pretty energetic (go ahead, try it), but potassium metal and water is EVEN MORE energetic — have an adult research it and try it for you!
So now that you get energy, let's talk about your flame!
Pick something to burn. How about a stick? Yes, let's use a stick. How do we start it on fire?
Well… we can:
– put already-burning fire on it
- use a spark (like lightning!)
- rub it on another stick super duper fast
Let's think! What are you doing? If you put fire on the stick, you're heating the stick up… giving it energy! If you use a spark, you're also giving it energy! If you rub it on another stick super hard — well, rub your hands together super hard. Feel that? It's heat! Energy!
In order to set something on fire, you have to give it a hard burst of energy. To set a stick on fire, you give it a hard burst of energy, which breaks the molecules of the stick (that's chunks of atoms stuck together) apart! It also breaks some of the oxygen atoms in the air apart from one another!
Remember how I told you that things in nature HATE to have extra energy? Well, now leftover molecule chunks of this stick have all this extra energy. The best way for them to get rid of it is like this:
1. A chunk of stick molecule finds an oxygen atom that has also been broken apart.
2. The chunk of stick molecule grabs the oxygen atom.
3. It turns out that oxygen plus stick-molecule-chunks combine to turn into ash… and that particular combination gives away TONS of energy, WAY more than when baking soda and vinegar combine!
4. All that extra energy goes into breaking the molecules of the stick and the oxygen a little bit more, which starts the whole thing over again from step 1!
In step 3, so much energy was thrown out that the rest of the stick and the air gets super hot – that's the "heat" part of a flame!
Now, sometimes parts of the stick get super hot, but for some reason they combine with the wrong thing — not stick plus oxygen, but stick plus more stick. This results in a combined chunk of "something" that's super hot, but can't break as easily as regular stick. This super hot "something" has to get rid of its energy somehow (because nature hates extra energy, remember?) And it does so by giving off light! That's where the LIGHT of the flame comes from!
Some things in nature can get rid of their energy by throwing out light – tungsten lightbulbs do this!
A flame is actually really simple — it's just the heat and light coming from a whole bunch of crazy chemical reactions, that all got started because of a teensy burst of energy!
Entry #541. Kenneth Power, Bowling Green, Ohio.
Kenneth is a family physician at Wood County Hospital.
A flame is something unique to every single one of us! When was the last time you secretly got close and watched a flame flickering in front of you?
Let's pretend by closing your eyes, and trying to slow down your breathing,
so you can concentrate on a candle; you can see your flame clearly in your mind, can't you?
Imagine now carefully getting really close. Can you feel the heat?
The flame is one thousand two hundred degrees hot!
Isn't that crazy? Why doesn't everything around it just burst into more flames?
Like a fierce tiger locked in a cage, your flame is tied to its wick. It roars and dances and tries to get away, but it can't. And notice how your flame never stays still, (almost) as if it too is alive.
Your flame feeds on oxygen, burning into colors of yellow & orange, even red, white & blue; all of which radiate upwards toward the sky. Sometimes the flame gives off smoke and soot, which float back down eventually due to gravity.
Did you know that if you were in space (where there is no gravity) your flame would look totally different, like a perfectly round ball?
So do you consider your flame beautiful, or dangerous? Probably both.
I think the most amazing thing about your flame is that it is "all or none":
This means its appetite is never ending!
It must be allowed to grow bigger and bigger or it must be destroyed, extinguished.
You have to choose to either keep feeding it with carbon and oxygen, or choke it with carbon dioxide… One or the other must prevail.
But when your time with the flame is up, don't worry. Fire has been a part of nature since the time the Earth was born. And for somebody else — somewhere right now — in under a millisecond, a spark is transforming into the same, but different, flame…

What you need for this project:
- Three (3) pumpkins, of descending/ascending size
- Pumpkin carving knife
- Creativity
- Tea light candles
Step 1: Pumpkin Picking
Roughly measure the pumpkins in relation to the other ones. Set them up. Does is look nice? Can the biggest one eat the medium one, and can the medium one eat the small one? If so, you've got your pumpkins.
Step 2: Design Faces!
For the smallest guy, I did crescent moon eyes kind of looking backwards at the guy behind him. I added line eyebrows (see pic for placement) to make him look scared, and a huge screaming mouth for the finish.
For the medium guy, I had evil slanty eyes and a gaping mouth with sharp teeth. I had to redraw the mouth so it would definitely be big enough for the smallest pumpkin.
For the huge guy, I didn't get a picture of the design, but you can see the "after carving" pictures. I made him a cyclops pumpkin with only one eye. His mouth was humongo with sharp teeth also.

After chorionic villus sampling (CVS) has been carried out, the sample of chorionic villi will be taken to a laboratory so that it can be tested.
The number of chromosomes in the cells can be counted, and the structure of the chromosomes can be checked for any abnormalities. If the CVS is being carried out to test for a specific genetic disorder, the cells in the sample can also be tested for this.
CVS is estimated to give a conclusive result in more than 99% of cases. However, it cannot test for every birth defect, and it may not give conclusive results. In about 1% of cases, the results of CVS cannot establish with certainty that the chromosomes in the foetus are normal. Occasionally, the abnormality may be confined to the placenta and not the baby.
If this happens, it may be necessary to have further tests, such as examining the chromosomes in cells from the parents. It may also be necessary to have amniocentesis (an alternative test in which a sample of amniotic fluid is taken from the mother) to confirm a diagnosis.
The first result should be available within two to three working days, and this will tell you whether a major chromosome problem has been discovered.
If rarer conditions are also being tested for, it can take two to three weeks to come back, although if the test is looking for a specific disorder the results may take up to a month.
You can usually choose whether to get the results over the phone or during a face-to-face meeting at the hospital or at home. You will also receive a written confirmation of the results.
For most women who have CVS, the results of the procedure will be 'normal'. This means the baby will not have any of the disorders that were tested for.
However, it is sometimes possible to have a normal result but a baby that is born either with the condition that was tested for or with another genetic condition. This is because a normal test result cannot exclude every possible genetic disorder.
If your test is 'positive', your baby has one of the disorders it was tested for. In these cases, the implications will be fully discussed with you. There is no cure for most chromosomal conditions, so you will need to consider your options carefully. These include:
If you are considering a termination, talk to your midwife or GP. They can give you important information and advice.
For example, your options for termination will depend on how many weeks pregnant you are when you make the decision. If you decide to end your pregnancy, you may wish to talk to a counsellor afterwards. Again, your GP or midwife can help you arrange this.
The organisation Antenatal Results and Choices also helps parents with any issues around antenatal testing and its implications.

Hi, my name is Marthand K Venkatesh. I am a south indian film editor (Telugu), I live in Hyderabad, India, I belong to a filmy family. My father is KM Marthand was a famous film editor of yesteryears. His uncle is BA Subba Rao was a legendry Telugu film director. BA Subba Rao inspired my father to enter film industry. NTR gave first chance to my father as an editor. My father used to be the only man who edits almost all Telugu films at that time. He edited around 300 films.
" There is a saying that a film is made on two tables. One is story table and the other is editing table. It is left to the editor to change the fortune of the film with fine editing. Marthand K Venkatesh is an ace film editor in Telugu film industry today. 70% of the film he edited went on to become the blockbusters. "
I watch TV a lot when I am home. I have got many offers to direct films, but I said no. I am in the position of No.1 now. Why to leave that luxury and fight in the new field as debutant.
I hope you enjoy my website. take look around my website and give feedback. Say hello. I'd love to hear from you.
Yuvakudu is one film that flopped, though I did my best work for that film. 143 is another film that failed at box office, though it was a good film. These are the two films I failed as the judge. Though a big flop, I got tremendous satisfaction as working for 'Maa Ashokgadi Love Story' by Suresh Krishna.
I hope you enjoyed my website. Say hello. I'd love to hear from you. Please feel free to get in touch.

Another North Texan has died of West Nile virus, bringing the North Texas West Nile death toll to at least 27 and the Texas toll to at least 51.
A Tarrant County Public Health statement Wednesday described the victim as a Hurst man in his late 70s with multiple underlying medical conditions. The death is the seventh reported in Tarrant County.
Federal health officials say this is the nation's worst year for the mosquito-borne virus since it was discovered in New York 13 years ago. Texas has about half of the U.S. deaths from the illness.
Several Texas counties have been spraying pesticide to help reduce the mosquito population.

2011 Panoplie included in spring 2014 VINsider shipment
The 2011 Panoplie, rated 96 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, and 94 points by Tanzer's International Wine Cellar is available exclusively to Tablas Creek Vineyard's VINsider club members. One bottle was included in the spring 2014 club shipment, with VINsiders offered the opportunity to order 3 additional bottles. In addition, VINsiders who reserved this wine as futures in December, 2012 received their wine in the fall of 2013. Ordering the Esprit de Beaucastel and Panoplie en primeur is available exclusively to VINsider wine club members.
We have more information on the VINsider wine club, and more VINsider news.
In worthy vintages, Tablas Creek Vineyard produces small quantities of Panoplie: a Mourvèdre-based cuvée from meticulously selected grapes, made in the model of Château de Beaucastel's Hommage á Jacques Perrin. In 2011, only 750 cases were produced.
The 2011 vintage was our second consecutive winter with healthy rainfall, but yields were dramatically reduced by two nights of frost on April 8th and 9th, impacting early-sprouting grapes like Grenache and Syrah but largely sparing the late-sprouting Mourvedre. Despite the low crop loads, ripening was slow due to a very cool summer, and harvest roughly three weeks later than normal, beginning in mid-October and not concluding until early-November. Warm, sunny weather during harvest allowed Mourvèdre to reach full maturity. The long hangtime and low yields combined to produce fruit with notable richness balanced by higher than usual acidity, all at low alcohol levels. Syrah was harvested between September 30th and November 9th, followed by Grenache between October 4th and October 9th, and Mourvèdre between October 18th and November 9th.
The grapes for our Panoplie were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
Each lot was individually fermented using native yeasts in either upright oak casks or stainless steel fermenters. After pressing, the wines were moved into barrel, blended, and aged in one 1200-gallon French oak foudre before being bottled in May 2013.
The Tablas Creek Vineyard Panoplie 2011 shows a wealth of both fruity and savory aromas, including blueberries, plum pit and olive tapenade. The mouth shows a lovely melted licorice character, rich yet tangy, with a saline note characteristic of many 2011's, and a spice note in balance with fruit and mineral components. The finish is long, clean and complex, with beautiful balance. We expect it to drink well for another year or so, then tighten up for a few years before reopening around 2019 and drinking well for two to three decades.
Tasting notes from a December 2012 vertical tasting can be found on the Tablas Creek blog.
Join us in the tasting room all weekend for a first look at our flagship wines: 2013 Esprit de Tablas and 2013 Esprit de Tablas Blanc.
Friday night: Enjoy a four-course, four-wine dinner at McPhee's Grill in Templeton. Seats at the dinner are $105/per person (inclusive of tax and gratuity) and reservations are essential. Details »
Saturday: join us in the cellar at Tablas Creek for a series of interactive demonstrations. Demonstrations will be ongoing from 10am - 3pm and are free to all guests. Details »
We are thrilled to announce that we've received our shipping permit from the great state of Massachusetts. Residents of the Bay State can now order wine or become VINsider Wine Club members. More shipping news »
In August, Antonio Galloni published the results of his annual visit to Tablas Creek, and we were excited to receive such good reviews from this notoriously tough grader. Notes included the 2012 Esprit de Tablas Blanc (92 points; "impeccably refined"), 2011 Panoplie (94 points; "pure elegance"), 2012 Patelin de Tablas (90 points; "a gorgeous wine and a fabulous value"), and the 2012 Esprit de Tablas (93-95 points; "a fascinating Esprit to follow over the coming years"). Read the complete review » More recent press »

Each spring and fall, we send out a selection of six wines to the members of our VINsider Wine Club. In many cases, these are wines that only go out to our club. In others, the club gets a first look at wines that may see a later national release. And with each shipment, we reintroduce ourselves to these wines (which, in some cases, we may not have tasted since before bottling) with a tasting that we use to write the notes that will be included in the club shipments.

GS News - Sony and Microsoft get hyperbolic + Star Wars games!
Sony and Microsoft incorrectly use the terms "breathtaking" and "magical", also you're stuck with the Kinect but EA is set to bring back great Star Wars games.

Schedule: weekly
Host: Jess McDonell
Crew: Edmond Tran
I could watch her describing paint dry and not get bored.
Also, X1 > PS4
KoTOR III!!!!!!!!!!!
Jess definitely takes my breath away. She must have some magical powers.
Let gamespot know what do you think about their video ads by filing out one question survey below. All answers will be forwarded to gamespot so the video ads madness can stop. I am not against them having ads but we would all agree ads about Covergirl,
Mr. Clean, Diapers, Hair solutions and other similar crap makes no sense to most of the gamers( ;-) ).
anybody else see the resemblance between halo and killzone when they bought up the light shield
Jess, your news show = magic.
im still holding out hope for kotor 3
wahay no more endless paning making jess twitch her head from side to side bringing to mind a cat bringing up a furball
I want to see a remake of Star Wars Shadows of the Empire using a Metal Gear Solid mix with Gears of War gameplay/engine.
ha bane quote. EA wanna do to starwars, what arkham asylum did for batman they'll end up doing a ben afffleck to luke skywalker
Can't believe I stared into Jess's eyes when she defined the word Magical. I'm screwed. Totally screwed.
Jess: I remember you doing some one-off shows, like that 4-parter about the different types of gamers (Introverts, hoarders, speed-runners, etc). I really enjoyed those and I was wondering if there was any chance of you doing any more of them, despite GSNew taking up what I assume is a large portion of your time?
Also, where can we find those old shows? It's so hard to find stuff on GS at the moment (lucky changes are coming that fix this).
another great show
A "Magical" experience from saying the word on.....
I wonder how he would describe a rub and tug.
xbox off...
She is an angel, I can't look at her without breathing like loving man!
Being able to say "Xbox on" and have it come on is magical? No, I'm sorry I think the iPhone already did that one trick pony show
lmfao ha Jess you're such an adorable dork "Same Bat time , Same Bat Channel" lol love the reference
-Nerd Out
Just adding my vote to the 'Jess is Awesome' camp :)
This is the sharpest show on the site by miles!
Corporate trolling at it's finest. I think the days of " Sega does what Nintendon't" are coming back. :P
I'm not here for the console wars, i'm here for Jess and Star Wars...
I dont really get what's the point of people arguing which console is better. You know we all ending up buying both consoles anyway as well as collectors. I love sony since psx1 till now i never have a problem with xbox which i also own. Im not trolling or anything just what the fuck?
Yes Xbox One has been designed with Kinnect in mind, that's why Battlefield 4, COD, Titanfall, FIFA 14, Forza 5, Dead Rising 3 use it extensively as a requirement to play the game.. oops no they don't
Star Wars Game's list i would like to see ;
Battlefront 3
Republic Commandos 2
Jedi Academy 3
And would like to see some different character story like "The Force Unleashed"
As you can see anything related Star Wars with Frostbite 3 is acceptable.
the console wars is a bit of a joke . They are pretty much the same so it doesn't matter which is "better" or which will "win" because at the end of the day companies will continue to make games for both . It's not about the hardware it's about what games we play.
i don't understand why people feel one could win or loose ? the ps3 and xbox 360 have both sold around 70-80 million haven't they ? that would suggest they are both a success .
Can they develop Star Wars Battlefront 3 Republic Commando for real? With campaigns from all the playable factions possible? With multiplayer online and offline ala CS with BOT and LAN support?
so when ps3 was $600 sony fans didnt have anything to say and when 360 has been kicking ps3 in the ass for the pass 5 or 6 years sony fans got nothing to say but as soon as they're $100 cheaper they all get happy and want to try and shit on xbox1 when the ps4 is a ps3 with better graphics they didnt really upgrade anything but the hardware and the ps4 doesnt really have any new fratures and now you have to pay to get the fullaffect out of the lil fratures they have ot offer and if PS fanboys want to talk about MS trying to push for everything being digital download sony tried do that with the PSgo and look what happen with that but at that end of the day sony fanboys should look at way sony lost $180 mill before trying to shit on xbox and please dont talk about used games cause everyone pre-orders their games and picks them up at midnight or day off release and no im not an xbox fanboy im getting both but i see xbox is giving more and all the good games coming out are 3party games and as far as i see xbox is givivg a better gaming experience like they have been doing on the 360
The Xbox guy with the hair looks like he has a sour prune in his mouth, one that causes him to be very happy. Sucking on that sour prune, looking happy, talking a bit, good show :)
im always looking at your lips because theyre constantly arguing which way they want to express meaning. cute tho :D
I miss those too.
As for finding stuff: When all else fails do a custom google search.

@LJNkickstarter I think a significant part of it comes from particularly the younger members of the community who don't always have the income to buy both consoles and tend to be more emotionally invested and expressive about that investment. Theres also the people who feel insecure about their purchasing decision right now who tend to need to validate themselves by arguing the merit of the choice they made.
To be fair, its unreasonable and comes off a bit smug for somebody like me or yourself to start commenting that everyone should 'just get all the consoles' as not everybody can or even wants to make that kind of investment in essentially what is a hobby (despite numerous attempts to lobby the government to declare it a vocation... by me... *sigh* one day!)
People are flawed and for the most part barley understand their own actions, behaviour like fanboysim and these console wars type conflicts wont go away until we recognise them as what they are. Insecure people looking for self validation who feel overly defensive of their life choices as they have placed part of their self worth into those choices. Its mostly just a bit sad.
@LJNkickstarter Well I didn't buy the PS3 because I already had an Xbox and saw no need to own one. The only thing with this is I never experienced any of the exclusives on PS3 which is kind of a shame.
As for paying $400 for a console and then another $500 for the other plus the add ons that will be needed like plug and play kits and headphones that don't suck, all for a few exclusives which up to now largely suck, you must be insane.
@chris_face Id actually argue (in support of your comment) its more important that neither console 'wins' the more level the playing field is the better things are for the industry just look at how Microsoft did that 180 on its policies. when there is strong competition it drives companies to innovate change and compete.
Personally I thought the overwhelming domination of the market by the PS2 was what made the PS3 far less successful. At this point I'm hoping for another neck and neck race between the two big guys both of their machines are looking awesome and they are both listening to and reacting to what we say we want. Thats an awesome state of affairs and long may it continue :)
@smoke1125 err also how do you know the experiance is better do you currently have one?
@smoke1125 Err back then we were in were not in GLOBAL ECONOMIC MELTDOWN! . infact it cold be looked on has a financial golden age we just didnt see it then. then microsoft try to release a expensive console now and people like you wonder why people complain. fact is im not poor i have in fact two high end gaming pcs one with a 7970 the other a 680 gtx one with a i5 the other a i7 and a ps3 and a ps4 on preorder so no im not saying this because i am worried for myself merely because i see the need for a lower price point
@smoke1125the reason x-box has been kicking the ps3 is price.
in terms of graphics and such ps3 has been in the lead for quite a while, now, 4/5 years now, so considering that the ps4 hardware is slightly better than xbox, and it is 100$ cheaper, and sony didn't shot themselves in the foot with hyper intrusive DRM measures, and a spybot, you had to see it coming.
i still think all of this fighting is stupid, get a pc instead.
Might be ok if I could remember what those shows were about/called. :P
Figured Jess would know where they're all kept, or may think about uploading them to her blog or something.
@Manatassix @LJNkickstarter Quite cynical realism, spirited discussions are not always a bad thing
@Manatassix @LJNkickstarter Point! I just dont like it when other people act like Microsoft or Sony is forcing them to buy their product.
@Dannystaples14 @LJNkickstarter You don't know what you're missing gotta get on that PS3
@hairdie @smoke1125 i think he gets away with that one with the 'as far as I see' caveat.
@peteywentout @smoke1125 *facepalm*
'I think all this fighting is stupid' which completely validates my next comment that just happens to be the verbal equivalent of attacking two guys fighting because I hadn't been included in the fight I just called stupid... yeah nice one there. :P
@peteywentout @smoke1125 "i still think all of this fighting is stupid, get a pc instead."
I love that last line, since time immemorial. :DDDDD
@peteywentout @smoke1125 i think 50 percent more power isnt slightly id say considerably
Would be better off spending the money on a decent PC instead of a second console. That's what I'm doing, getting a PS4 and later a better PC.
But then that all depends on the individual. If a person isn't interested in PC exlusives and are happy to play FPS games with a controller, then it's obviously not worth it.
I, however, would get just as much use out of a PC and a PS4. But since there are no Xbox One games I want, there is no reason to buy one.
@DoogyDonDoogy @LJNkickstarter Beyond Two Souls, Uncharted, Demon Souls, God of War, Gran Turismo, Heavy Rain, Journey, Infamous. The cost of all of those plus the ones I missed off and the cost of the console are not worth it.
A console is only really worth it if you use it for exclusives AND the multi-platform games. Like those people who bought both console and left one of the two largely un-touched except for exclusives. Totally not worth the initial cost of the console.
@cscarnell @smoke1125 actually that is only when pc hardware is used for a comparison
@hairdie @peteywentout @smoke1125 End result is about 10 fps more according to a so called theoretical test

The awesome Amalfi Coast
By Nick Boulos, Special to The Washington Post : April 4, 2013 : Updated: April 5, 2013 12:54pm
Picturesque Positano, Italy, is sandwiched between the water and the mountains along Italy's Amalfi Coast.
Photo By Photos by Nick Boulos / For the Washington Post
Torre a Mare, on Praia bay at the hamlet of Praiano, was built during the Middle Ages as a defense against raiding Saracen pirates.
Photo By Nick Boulos/Special to the Washington Post
Paolo Sandulli, famed for his caricatures of fishermen, works in his studio in Praia, Italy. He is one person you can meet on a walking tour of Italy s Amalfi Coast.
The ancient pathway was long and rocky. Lined with delicate orchids and scented by zesty lemon groves, it zigzagged up the mountain and out of view. Far below, waves crashed against giant boulders, and an endless succession of cars, coaches and mopeds swept around the countless hairpin bends.
Italy's fabled Amalfi Coast may be one of the world's great drives, but I had come with other ideas. Laced with trails first carved in the Middle Ages and used by mules to transport goods between villages, the hills and mountains of Amalfi offer some of the very best hiking in all the Mediterranean.
I was going to spend four days walking the 25 miles between Amalfi and Sorrento — a self-guided journey, stopping at various coastal towns and remote hamlets along the way. There was little to worry about: My luggage was being transported ahead by the company that arranges the walks, and I was armed with maps so detailed and walking notes so comprehensive that even someone as directionally challenged as I would struggle to get lost.
It was late morning by the time my friend Karen and I arrived in Amalfi (via bus, train and boat from Naples). People shuffled into the plentiful limoncello shops and gathered on the steep staircase leading to the Duomo di Sant' Andrea, the ninth-century Romanesque cathedral that stands at the heart of the town.
Amalfi's surge in popularity began in Edwardian times, when wealthy families from across Europe deemed it a pleasant place to spend their winters. By the 1950s, it had gained a reputation for glamour and sophistication. Today, it attracts travelers in search of fine food, eye-popping scenery and weather that's nothing short of sublime.
Rising early the next morning to the chimes of the cathedral, we pulled on our walking boots, grabbed our daypacks — laden with picnic snacks — and set off for Praiano, a westward journey of about 7 miles.
Before long, the houses faded away, replaced by panoramas of terraced hillsides set upon slopes that soar almost vertically from the water's edge.
The day passed in a state of blissful rambling: crossing quiet woodland and gushing streams; strolling past eerie hillside cemeteries and roadside stalls selling chiles, lemons and rotund melons.
After lunch on a small rocky clearing, we stumbled upon a small café filled with locals enjoying a quick caffeine fix. Most seemed impressed that we were taking our time to explore their spectacular home. "People usually drive along the whole coast in a day or two," said one. "But why rush such beauty?"
Praiano materialized several sweaty hours later. Sandwiched between Amalfi and Positano, this small hamlet of 1,800 receives merely a fraction of the visitors that descend on its famous neighbors, despite its intimate hotels, charming restaurants and quiet beaches.
"Praiano is a treasure missed by most," said the English-speaking woman at the next table. "All the world flocks to Positano, but here it's peaceful, and there are still secrets to discover."
Our anticipation was running high for the following day's walk along the famed Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods). Once peppered with Roman temples, it's the unequivocal highlight of walking the Amalfi Coast.
Rushing away from Praiano too hastily, however, would have been a mistake, for down the road was another effortlessly beautiful bay by the name of Praia.
Dominating the bay was a tall and slightly lopsided cylindrical tower called Torre a Mare — the Sea Tower — one of several built in the Middle Ages during Amalfi's darkest chapter. Savaged by Saracen pirates who sailed in spreading terror, kidnapping women and ransacking villages, the coast endured widespread turmoil.
In fact, much of the region's past is both brutal and bloody. Shipwrecked Romans took control in the fourth century; the Normans invaded in 1073 and ruled until 1135. The Spanish also had a turn. But Amalfi prospered in times of turbulence. It became an important trading state dealing in everything from spices and ivory to timber from the Middle East and salt from Sardinia.
The initial portion of the six-mile trail, leaving from the glazed cupola of Praiano's Church of San Gennaro, was steep and relentless. For the better part of an hour, we huffed and puffed our way up the 1,900-foot-tall peak, following a stone staircase dotted with 14 large wooden crosses.
Help was in sight at the top in the form of Domenico, the friendly caretaker of the abandoned 16th-century San Domenico convent. He couldn't help chuckling. "You look a little tired. But don't worry, Positano is only three hours from here," he said, pointing to the faraway cluster of pastel-colored houses that tumbled down the mountain.
Jumping to his feet, he rushed off to press some lemons and pick figs from the trees — refreshments we enjoyed from the comfortable armchairs placed around the shady courtyard.
Positano was still some distance away, at the bottom of 1,700 thigh-straining steps that wove down the peak. We stumbled into town looking slightly disheveled and rather out of place among the immaculate residents and decadent surroundings. Gleaming yachts rocked in the harbor not far from the helipad and the abundance of fashion boutiques.
The next port of call on our walk, reached via high ridges and a succession of fishing bays, was the modern and rather characterless town of Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi. Our accommodations, however, were anything but characterless. Built in the 18th century, Le Tore is a rustic eight-bedroom farmhouse set among 35 acres of olive groves, apple orchards and rolling pastures. Owner Vittoria Brancaccio was on hand to greet us.
"We produce everything ourselves — the elderberry juice, the olive oil, the limoncello," she said proudly in perfect English. "Even the soap in the bathrooms."
Our pilgrimage was coming to an end as we set off the following day for Sorrento. The six-mile trail was quiet and punctuated by views across the Bay of Naples to Capri so fine that they stopped us in our tracks.
