The Grey Owl's Expedition Gear Guide
Since we are still planning to do a hike to Grey Owl's Cabin in June, we have been picking up some gear for the trip. A lot of people have been asking us what we are taking so here is the quick list of gear that is going.
Backpacks: To carry the gear, we have some frameless backpacks with hip straps. You can spend a lot of money on these and after reading around, we think we found the right balance between comfort, durability, and price.
I am carrying a 65 litre pack. It is lots big enough for an overnight trip and this way Mark and Wendy don't have to carry as much stuff. It will hold Wendy's and my tent, the cook set, and sleeping back with a lot of space left over. I won't use all of that space but it is there.
If I was walking the Appalachian Trail, I would definitely have purchased a more expensive backpack but it's only a day and we are only taking so much stuff. Mark and Wendy have some smaller bags that I bought there bags on clearance for a combined $30. They are 40 litres and have the external straps they need. They should do the job.
Tents: Wendy and I are staying in a three man tent we bought for $16 from Wal-mart. They had a loss leader going last winter and we got it then. It's light and just big enough for the two of us.  The tent opens up and hopefully we will be able to sleep under the skies rather than under the fly. If it does look like it could rain, we'll be fine underneath it.
If I was going camping rather than backcountry hiking, we would have gotten something larger and higher quality.  Weight and size are a factor. Also the price was insanely cheap ($16 on sale). If it doesn't last, no harm done but the reviews online were pretty solid. It's no where near as durable as a tent from the North Face but then again, it won't be asked to do much more than keep the mosquitoes or drizzle off of us. If it was just me, I would got with a two person tent but this way there is just enough room for us and some of our gear.
Mark is staying in a one person tent from Eagle's Camp. It is small but it will be only him and his bag. Either way it is really light and since Mark will be carrying it in and out, he will appreciate the weight. We bought some ropes to add as guy wires which opens it up a bit. It's small but it is light.
We did waterproof and seal the seams and upgraded the tent pegs to something lighter and more likely to stay in the ground. If the weather is miserable, we should be okay.
Sleeping bags: Mark had a sleeping bag but Wendy and I wanted new 1.5 pound sleeping bags. We will have foil covered sleeping foams as well and inflatable camping pillows at well which are small, light, and are more comfortable than our bags.  We also bought some compression straps so the sleeping bags take up as little as room as possible.
For lighting both Mark and Wendy have headlamps and lanterns We also have tactical flashlights and Nite Ize LED zipper tags on our backpacks so if we wander out in the dark, we can be seen.
For the kitchen, we have a Primus Classic Trail Stove and Primus fuel canisters. Stoves have their own fanboy culture which I understand but for the price, it can't be beaten. I know this isn't the stove to use when it's winter but since we are doing the hike in June, we should be okay.  It also has a five star review on Amazon.com so it seems to be doing the job.
As for the camp kit, years ago Lee gave Wendy a great camp set. We picked up three sporks and we are set to go.
As for water, I have talked to a lot of people who had drank right out of Kingsmere Lake with no side affects. There are giardia warnings about the water so we will have some water filters. It's way cheaper using purification tablets but I am told they are disgusting. Since we are walking along side the lake, we will be using collapsible water bottles to keep weight and volume down.
Food: Basically MRE's. We have been to Cabela's weekly testing out one or two of them each time. We will eat some snacks on the way in, have a nice dinner (well away from the campground to keep the bears away) and then a big breakfast in the morning on our way out. Hopefully we get going in time to be back in Waskesiu for a late lunch before heading back to Saskatoon.
Clothes: I went out and invested in some decent hiking shorts and shirts this summer. As a friend of mine told me that chafing is not something that you will want to do while on the trail. We also went to Cabela's and got tested by the Dr. Shoal's machine for the kind of insoles we all need. While the custom Dr. Shoals insoles are right there, a row over are competitor insoles designed the same way for a fraction of the cost. They make hiking boots feel a lot more comfortable and will hopefully make the trip more pleasant.
Technology: We won't be taking much technology along although we will have a GPS, compact binoculars, and some rugged cameras. We will have our multi-tools and a hatchet with us but I don't know if that is considered technology or not. In case we do get some rain, we have some gadget bags which are essentially waterproof zip lock bags for gear. It says that you can submerse them but I'd rather not. What they do a good job of doing is if a tent or bag does leak, your stuff will still be safe.
We bought everything local. While MEC had a good price on some stuff, by the time we calculated shipping, it was less expensive to get something at Cabela's and Wholesale Sports.
Let me know if you have some suggestions in the comments below.
Airline Cabin Cleaners Strike Over Ebola Exposure Fears
This won't get any better after a healthcare worker in Dallas has been infected
Nearly 200 airline cabin cleaners walked off the job at a New York City airport overnight, striking over health and safety issues that include fears over possible exposure to Ebola.
The protest involves Air Serv cabin cleaners in Terminal D at New York's LaGuardia airport, a contractor that serves Delta, as well as supporting workers from LaGuardia and JFK International airports.
Protesting workers carried signs and chanted during today's rally, protesting against conditions that they say often find them encountering hypodermic needles, vomit and blood.
Meanwhile, the Service Employees International Union Local 32BJ was scheduled to conduct infectious disease training today for airport cabin cleaners, terminal cleaners and wheelchair attendants.
"The training will cover current guidance from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA)," the union said in a release. "This includes guidelines for cleaning airplane cabins and lavatories, for cleaning an area with possible Ebola exposure, and for determining which equipment employers are required to supply."
Our Family Adventure with the 2014 Ford Escape
It's been a long summer but one of the highlights was spending some time with the 2014 Ford Escape.  I reviewed in 2013 and the SUV is essentially the same.  Instead of just driving it around Saskatoon (done that before), I decided to take it on the road.  This is after all where a crossover is supposed to come in useful isn't it (that and as a hockey kid taxi).  So the four of us got up really early one Sunday and took a long one day drive from Saskatoon to Drumheller and back.  It's around 1000km in a day if you are keeping track.  At the end of the trip we were going to either love or hate the 2014 Ford Escape.
We packed relatively light. Â Even though it was a brand new vehicle we tossed our emergency kit in the back, three camera bags, a cooler, and some extra jackets in case the weather forecast was horribly wrong. Â That took up about 5% of the rear cargo space.
After hitting Rosetown for breakfast where we met this old-timer, we made a brief stop at Alsask to show the kids the old NORAD radar dome Â
We got into Drumheller at about noon where the Ford Escape met this guy.  I know I signed something that stopped people from smoking in the Ford Escape, I couldn't remember if I was covered by stampeding dinosaurs.  So I sent Mark and Oliver up to deal with the T-Rex.
After an epic struggle, they subdued the beat and saved the Escape.
I have driven from Saskatoon to Calgary many times and each time (generally at Hanna), I would get out and feel the pain in my back after four long hours of driving.  This time it was completely different and here is why  With the Escape, there was none of that.  The air conditioner kept the kids cool while the heated seats kept Wendy and I feeling a lot more comfortable.  If only they had a back massage feature.
After lunch we checked the GPS for directions to the Atlas Coal Mine.  It couldn't find it.  It found every other little attraction in Drumheller but missed this one.  Obviously Ford downloads these attractions from a database but I was surprised a National Historic Site was not on it.  Ironically enough Siri with it's much despised Apple Maps found us a way and we arrived after our failed conversation with Ford Sync.  Apple 1 – Ford Sync 0.
Once at the Atlas Coal Mine, I discovered the true value of the Ford Escape. Â We explored an abandoned wooden bridge (which was home to rattlesnakes) and was almost completely rotten.
Explored the mine site
Wendy stumbled onto a model shoot
We took a mine tour
Climbed the "walk from hell†(this is important)
Where I tore my right quad and put myself in incredible pain (not all Ford reviews have happy endings).  After heading back down the "walk from hell†(it's what the miners called it), I limped back to the waiting Ford Escape while the family kept exploring (thanks guys!)
The pain was incredible, my leg was almost useless and I limped back to the vehicle in incredible pain.  I got in and actually had to lift my leg inside, turned on the Escape, turned on the a/c and turned on the heated seat.  It didn't take away the pain but facing a five hour trip back to Saskatoon and realizing how much better it made my leg feel, it was amazing. (and made me add a tensor bandage and A535 to my emergency kit) when I got back into Drumheller.
I felt good enough to limp out and explore the Star Mine Suspension Bridge in Rosedale. Â While I never recommend walking on a moving suspension bridge with a torn quad, the heat kept it from getting really bad.
18 hours after, one rattlesnake sighting, two provinces, one radar dome, one torn quad, 1000 kms, three McDonald's and one A&W run later, we rolled back into Saskatoon.  Instead of whining and complaining despite being well past their bedtimes, the boys hopped out the car and Oliver said that was fun.  He then hugged the Ford Escape goodnight.  Yeah you read that right, after an 18 hour day, my six year old hugged the Escape. Â
It was then I realized why you want a 2014 Ford Escape.  It is a lot of fun to drive in the city and the highway.  It's safe and like I wrote about the 2013 Ford Escape, it saved my families life when a guy lost control on icy roads.  It looks great.  Sirius XM radio is a lot of fun.
All of that is amazing but you buy one because the Escape facilitates fun times together with others. Â Whether that is an epic road trip with family or a weekend getaway with friends, it made a great trip better. Â It made a long day seem shorter. Â It made an improbable one day trip possible. Â It is small enough to be fun to drive but large enough that you can bring people along. Â It is everything a SUV should be. Â Since the first time I drove the Ford Escape, I fell in love with it and said that it was my favourite vehicle to drive. Â Since then it has become my families favourite vehicle as well. Â It facilitates fun.
You can read all about the technical specs here but in the end, they add up to one thing; great times spent together.
Some observations
- I have been reviewing Ford cars for three years.  Oliver is now six and since her first saw the Ford Sync GPS display, he has been fascinated.  He sits in the back seat on a painful angle the entire time so he can see the display.  That hasn't changed.  I hope to review a Ford car in 2015 just to see how long this continues.  It's weird.  Of course the one advantage of Ford Sync GPS screens is not navigation but the fact that you never hear, "Are we there yet?â€
- The bad thing about turn by turn instructions is that if you deviate off your course to take the scenic route (which I did), everyone panics and start back seat driving.  Wendy is chirping at me, the boys are chirping at me.  Sync is telling to "turn right, turn right, turn rightâ€.  I'm like, I just want see some scenery!  EVERYONE CALM DOWN and Sync is still going, "turn right, turn right, turn rightâ€.  Why does no one trust me?!
- The Escape is fast. Â Shockingly fast for a SUV. Â Very comfortable to drive on a two lane highway. Â When I wanted to pass, I could.
- The Sync still crashes.  Every Ford vehicle I have reviewed has had something go wrong with the Sync.  The last time it wasn't that bad but it asked me to go to a dealer.  Turning the Escape off and on rebooted it (it is from Microsoft after all).  Instead of asking me to go to a dealer, it should just say, restart your car.  It's not a big thing but I can't believe it still does this.  Then again, Microsoft.  I should be used to it by now.
- Speaking of taking the scenic route, you will take more of them. Â The handling of the Escape is great and it kind of calls out for winding roads and rolling hills. Â A lot of fun.
- Even though the body design is older, it still turns heads.  As I was limping towards the Star Mine Suspension Bridge someone turned and said, "that is a nice looking SUVâ€. Â
If you want more information about a Ford Escape, check out Ford's website or stop by any Ford dealer (like Jubilee Ford or Merlin Ford Lincoln in Saskatoon)
Also thanks to Wendy for taking some of the better photos from this trip. Â She posted some of her favourites to her weblog.
Can't life just suck sometimes?
I know this was a bad experience and Carnival Cruise Lines didn't do themselves any favours with it but this lawsuit is crazy.
The Triumph left Galveston, Texas on Feb. 7, 2013, for a four-day cruise highlighted by a stop in Cozumel, Mexico. After departing Cozumel, a fire broke out at about 5 a.m. in the ship's engine room Feb. 10. It left the ship without engine power and most of its electricity, forcing passengers to endure human waste running down hallways, limited water supplies, noxious odours and extreme heat.
After about five days in the Gulf of Mexico, the ship was finally towed to Mobile, Alabama., and the weary, bedraggled passengers disembarked Feb. 14.
Carnival sought to make amends by offering each passenger a $500 check, a voucher for a future cruise, refunds of most on-board expenses and reimbursement for transportation, parking and so forth.
For many of the passengers, those offers were an insult and multiple lawsuits were filed seeking millions of dollars in damages.
In the current trial, Judge Graham has ruled that passengers cannot collect punitive damages and may only get damages for past and future medical costs that are conclusively linked to what happened on the Triumph.
Many of the 33 passengers involved in the trial complain of lingering emotional issues such as PTSD, anxiety and depression; some have physical ailments they blame on squalid conditions, including leg pain, diarrhea, upper respiratory problems and even aggravated hemorrhoids.
Most of the passengers are seeking $5,000 in damages a year from Carnival for the rest of their lives, claiming they will need continuous medical monitoring because of what happened aboard ship. They want the money in lump sums based on government tables estimating their life expectancies.
Can't you just have a really sucky experience anymore without getting lawyers involved or is this now mandatory if something bad happens.Â
Tunnels of Moose Jaw
I woke up early for the gold medal hockey game. Â I tried to wake up Wendy and then Mark but was essentially told to go away.
One the slugabed's awoke, we decided to take a road trip.  I told them that we were going to Waskesiu and then took Highway 11 south towards Chamberlain and then Moose Jaw.
A washroom break was needed at Chamberlain where we stopped at Bennett's Garage.  That didn't go so well as the bathrooms weren't clean and the Twizzlers were stale.  It stopped the complaining and we were off to Moose Jaw.
We got to Moose Jaw just in time for a Tunnels of Moose Jaw tour.  We took the Chicago Connections tour which had our group as bootleggers out to run Al Capone's booze down to Chicago.  The first stop was above the Java Express Cafe where were taken into a private club with a table reserved for Al Capone.  As we were about to be bothered by the corrupt Chief of Police, we were taken into Al Capone's office and then his bedroom.  Things were okay until there was an Al Capone sighting and then we were brought into the tunnels underneath Moose Jaw where we met, Gus, one of Capone's henchmen.
He showed us his gun collection, told us stories of gangsters, Moose Jaw, and Capone, showed up the stills, and finally led us on an escape from the RCMP who had shown up at the club with warrants. Â Along the way he harassed Mark, Wendy, and several other guests, while keeping the tour fun and moving along.
Mark loved the tour as he was identified as having potential within the Capone crime family. Â Oliver was a little young and was scared during part of it but in the end enjoyed it as well.
It took about 40 minutes and was worth the $40 it cost us as a family to take it.
Moose Jaw has a lot happening for it tourism wide.  There is the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa, Casino Moose Jaw, the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, Crescent Park, and a popular Western Development Museum.  Not only that but Main Street in Moose Jaw has come alive with places like Brown's Social House.  In addition to all of these things, it has some of Saskatchewan's best architecture.
It's worth a visit.

GoPro Hero 3+
You have probably seen one of the hundreds of amazing videos that have been posted to the GoPro YouTube Channel or seen one of the many thousands of more videos that have been posted over the last couple of years with these amazing cameras. While GoPro has competitors, none match the features that GoPro offers or any of the many mounts that GoPro has to secure the camera to your car, head, chest, poles, floatation devices, or bikes with ease. For $20-$30 you can literally mount a GoPro on anything.
The camera itself is a lot fun with a super wide angle view, HD video, slow motion video, and time lapse features that allow you to film your ideas. Jordon has one and has had a lot of fun over the years with it. Your guy will as well. An added bonus is that GoPro has released a free video editor so you can easily edit and upload your adventures.
- Purchase the Black Edition from Amazon.com | $399
- Purchase the Silver Edition from Amazon.com | $299
- Whatever edition you choose to get, you'll need a Micro SD card. You can get a high speed card from Amazon.com for $23.
Fuji XF1
Lightweight, durable aluminum body parts and synthetic leather covering enhance the feel of the camera in the hand, with texture that resembles genuine leather.
The bright f/1.8 lens lets you capture quality pictures not normally possible with a compact camera. Noise is kept to a minimum without boosting sensitivity, while camera-shake and subject motion are prevented due to high shutter speeds. And thanks to the large aperture, you can also create attractive "bokeh" blurred background effects.
With it's retro styling, it's also a camera guaranteed to be noticed even before you take those great photos.
- Purchase at Amazon | $249
Electronics is cool but so is writing stuff down with pen and paper and nothing beats a Moleskine notebook and a quality pen to do that with. You can find really nice Moleskine notebooks in any bookstore but for about half of that, you can find journals at your local Staples or office supply store.
- Purchase Moleskine notebook at Amazon | $29
- Purchase Parker Metro Fountain Pen at Amazon.com | $17
- Purchase Cambridge Business Notebook at Staples | $12
Bose AE2
I purchased Jordon a pair of Bose IE2 in ear headphones last year. He put them in his ears and could not believe the difference between them and the $20 headphones he had used forever. As he said, "It's like hearing my music for the first time again". For Father's Day, I got him a pair of Bose AE2 headphones that go over the ear and the sound was even better. It's easy to dismiss high end headphones as not being worth the money but I can really say that these are. Both are incredibly comfortable and bring a bit of luxury to your world no matter where you are listening to them at. Everyone needs a retreat and this does that. I can't recommend them enough.
If you are looking for a less expensive option, check out JVC's Xplosive Xtreme headphones. $16 gets you an attractive bass booming set of in ear headphones that are great for everyday use.
- Purchase from Amazon.com | $16
For over the ear comfort and sound at a great price, check out Sony's MDR-ZX100 headphones. We have a couple of pairs around the house and they are much loved and oft used.
- Purchase from Amazon.com | $15
Detroit: An American Autopsy by Charlie LeDuff | Jordon grew up with Detroit cable television and for many in our city, they have a close affinity with Detroit. This is the story of what went wrong and is told from a personal perspective. Back in his broken hometown, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Charlie LeDuff searches through the ruins for clues to its fate, his family's, and his own. Detroit is where his mother's flower shop was firebombed in the pre-Halloween orgy of arson known as Devil's Night; where his sister lost herself to the west side streets; where his brother, who once sold subprime mortgages with skill and silk, now works in a factory cleaning Chinese-manufactured screws so they can be repackaged as "May Be Made in United States.â€

The Longer I'm Prime Minister: Stephen Harper and Canada, 2006- by Paul Wells | This is the book that every one of our friends is reading or wants for Christmas. In The Longer I'm Prime Minister, Paul Wells explores just what Harper's understanding of Canada is, and who he speaks for in the national conversation. He explains Harper not only to Harper supporters but also to readers who can't believe he is still Canada's prime minister. In this authoritative, engaging and sometimes deeply critical account of the man, Paul Wells also brings us an illuminating portrait of Canadian democracy: "glorious, a little dented, and free.â€

X-Mini II Portable Capsule Speaker | Jordon gave me one of these last year and I thought it looked cute and didn't think much more about it but they work fantastic. The big difference with the X-Mini II speakers is that you can link them together to create better sound as well as more volume. We take ours with us everywhere and its nice at the cabin or even in a hotel room on a vacation. There are some other two speaker options as well but you can find the X-Mini's almost everywhere and they are about the same price.

Finally, how much fun would any guy have playing with an AR Drone 2.0 quadcopter. It's easy to fly, records in HD video and if he does crash it (you know he will), there is a large stock of replacement parts.

He Likes Black Coffee | This is a mug for Jordon. Over the years I have given some cool (and not so cool) gifts but his eyes light up every time he sees a cool coffee mug. Of course there are some limitations. Your guy has to like black coffee but if he does, he will love this gift.
Purchase from Indigo | $10
Art Prints
I am biased because Jordon has been selling some amazing photographs of shots he has posted to The Daily but have you considered the gift of art this Christmas?

A Terrifying Tour of the World's Most Dangerous Road
I guess this means that Saskatoon has the second worst roads in the world.
To one side is solid rock. To the other, a 2,000-foot abyss. In between is a two-way, 12-foot-wide path known as "Death Road."
Regularly named as the world's most dangerous route, North Yungas Road was cut into the side of the Cordillera Oriental Mountain chain in the 1930s. Many sections are unpaved and lack guardrails. Warm and humid winds from the Amazon bring heavy rains and fog. There are numerous mudslides and tumbling rocks, and small waterfalls occasionally rain down the cliff sides. These conditions explain why an estimated 200 to 300 people are killed on the road every year.
Special rules apply at North Yungas Road. While the rest of Bolivia drives on the right side, here vehicles drive on the left. A driver on the left has a better view of the edge of the road. Furthermore, descending vehicles never have the right of way and must move to the outer edge of the road. This forces fast vehicles to stop so that passing can be negotiated safely.
Distracted Driving in Saskatchewan
Last week Ford invited myself and some other bloggers to the RCMP barracks in Regina to an event hosted by the RCMP, SGI, and Ford (via their Capital Ford dealership) about the dangers of distracted driving.
After going to the closed course, we were joined by high school students from Regina who according to their media interviews, all drove while texting, surfing the web, and using social media and really saw nothing wrong with it. Â The problem with it is that distracted driving kills more people in Saskatchewan than driving under the influence and RCMP are finding more and more accident scenes where there are no skid marks people didn't even brake.
They set up several stations. Â One was a closed course about driving while texting. Â That didn't go so well. Â Surprisingly at another station, most people could not even eat and drive at the same time (which reinforced what several cops have told me over the years), and another one features people fixing their hair and putting on makeup while driving. Â The end result was there was pylons flying all over a course that was not that challenging. Â
What was scary was even as the kids got out of the cars and walked to their next station, what were they doing? Â Texting. Â It going to be a long road ahead if we are going to change this but it was a good start by Ford, SGI, and the RCMP in changing minds. Â Of course who do they learn this behaviour from? Â Their parents. Â While kids text on the phone, parents in Saskatchewan talk and drive on the phone (and we aren't talking hands free either). Â It all needs to stop.
The RCMP also had a crime scene investigation display where they had their Dragonfly drones out on display (I really wanted to fly one) and had a couple of accident scenes set up. Â My only regret for the day was that I never asked the RCMP if I could test drive this.
How much fun would a high speed chase be on a RCMP tricycle? Â I could have taken on any mall cop in the greater Regina area.
I posted the rest of the photos from the day here.
La Colle Falls Hydroelectric Dam
On Sunday I decided to take the family along the backroads to Prince Albert. Â We explored the Ukrainian Catholic Church of Ascension, Fish Creek Church, and eventually the La Colle Falls Hydroelectric Dam east of Prince Albert. Â Mark shot some video footage while there which you can see below.
Wendy wrote a little more about the day on her blog.
You are the cure
Great public awareness campaign and website from the Government of Alberta on the dangers of texting and driving. Â I am amazed that despite the Saskatoon Police Service cracking down on it and the large fines that come along with it, many people I know text and use their phone while driving. Â It's not that hard to put your phone on vibrate, put it face down and ignore it when in the car.
Driving in Russia
This is amazing. I can't believe I watched all 13 minutes of it.
It's like driving with Wendy.

Christmas Gift Guide for Teenage Boys | 2012 Edition
A couple of weeks ago search results looking for Christmas gift ideas started to appear so I knew it was time to dust off the Christmas Gift Guides and start on 2012's. As usual, I start with the kids and move from there. If you have any idea or feedback, let me know in the comments.
Shopping for a tween or a teenager is hard. Amazon suggests MacBooks, they all want $600 iPhone and if you get it wrong, they will hate you forever. Welcome to shopping for a teenager. Here are some ideas that are cool, won't break the bank, and may actually inspire them.
I have long been a fan of Virgin Mobile prepaid for teens. You can control their data, their minutes, and if something goes wrong and the phone is lost, you aren't hit with a massive phone bill or contract. Everyone wins. The HTC Desire C ($149) has the newest version of Android Ice Cream Sandwich, a 5 megapixel camera, and a sound system that is by Beats by Dre. It's only $149 upfront and you can either put that on their no-contract plan or go prepaid. It's not a Samsung Galaxy III or a iPhone 5 but for someone that is 12 or 13 years old, they don't need a better phone than you. If you really want to spoil the kid, you can get them some Beats by Dre headphones ($149) to go with it but a more fiscally sound and responsible choice may be these highly rated and fairly inexpensive JVC Xtreme-Xplosivs headphones ($14.99).
While Kodak has fallen on hard times, it still makes a great little compact camcorder in the Kodak Playsport ($80). It's shockproof, rustproof, and waterproof to a depth of 10 ft. Since it is designed to be used on the go, it has built-in image stabilization to smooth out the ride. It also has a share feature making it easy to get the video onto YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. If you want more stability from a manufacturer, check out the Sony Bloggie camera (or the Sport model). All are great options for your young aspiring filmmaker.
Of course they will need some adventures to film. Geocaching is extremely popular all over the world and Magellan has created the eXplorist GC Waterproof Geocaching GPS ($119). It easily connect to the Geocaching.com User Community and perform "Send to GPS," create and sync Pocket Queries, and upload Field Notes. Pre-loaded with the most popular geocaches in the world. Additionally, the product comes packed with common outdoor GPS features, such as waypoint creation, a worldwide base map, active tracking, and trip odometer.
If they are a gamer, chances are that they have grown out their Nintendo DS. If they have, check out the PS Vita ($249). With any gaming system it is all about the games and I am pleasantly surprised the amount of good looking games there are out there for the PS Vita (compared to the PSP). There is Assassin's Creed III ($39), Madden 13 ($25), or FIFA 13 ($39)
While my son would love an iPod Touch ($299), I am not sure if any child needs to be online 24/7. There is a great alternative in the new iPod Nano ($149), especially if the child you are shopping for is extremely active (or you want them to be more active). The redesigned iPod nano now has a larger, 2.5-inch Multi-Touch display. It plays music and has Genius playlists and FM radio. It has enough memories to watch watch movies and widescreen videos on the bigger screen. The iPod Nano tracks your steps, your runs, and burned calories and syncs to the Nike+ website to challenge friends. And with built-in Bluetooth technology, you can wirelessly connect to speakers, headphones, or car stereos. While you are at it, you can add some amazing iHome rechargeable mini speakers as well.
If your child is a skateboarder, you may want to consider a Tony Hawk skateboard deck and kit. I know what you are thinking, "What's Tony Hawk a skater back when I was a kid?" and the answer is yes and somehow he is still skating and he is still pretty awesome… if you consider a 900 degree turn on a skateboard awesome.
If you teen is planning to do something awesome like that, you may want to get them a GoPro camera ($169) and a headstrap to record the madness/injury.
Sometimes the best technology and gifts are some of the most basic. Binocular prices have dropped while the optics are still great. A pair of compact Bushnell binoculars ($30) are perfect for a hike, some urban exploring, and compact enough to toss in a bag. If taken care of, they will last a lifetime.
Canada at War: A Graphic History of World War II: A visual look at Canada during World Ward II.
Canada at War follows the developments and setbacks, wins and losses, of a nation learning to stand up for itself in the midst of the most difficult war of the 20th century.
In graphic-novel format, fully illustrated and in full colour, Canada at War shows the growth of a nation's army, navy and air force through movingly depicted triumphs and tragedies. From the disheartening losses at Dieppe and Hong Kong through the Battle of the Atlantic and the invasion of Sicily, it focuses on the human dimension of the key battles and decisions that ultimately swung the war in the Allies' favour.
This poignant graphic account ends, after the victories of D-Day and Juno Beach and the liberation of Europe, with a final reckoning of the legacy these storied years have had on a country forged through war. Aimed at both adult and young adult readers, this very human history tells the stories behind some of this country's most distinguishing military moments.
If I missed anything or if my suggestions made you think I was absolutely crazy, let me know in the comments. You can access the current edition and previous years list of Christmas gift guides here.

Read what our customers say about our Personalized Christmas Ornaments and their shopping experience!Hover over testimonials to stop scrolling
10/11/2014 - "I love being able to have the ornaments I order for my grandchildren personalized with their names and the year. From the time they are born until they are 18, I have made it a tradition to get each of them their own ornaments. The older kids already look forward to digging out their ornaments "from Grandma" every year! Louisa F."
10/8/2014 - "I was thrilled when I found Ornament Shop. Have purchased from here for several years and have recommended this place to several who also have purchased. I love the quality of the ornaments, the color and the design. I can't say enough good!!!!!! Nan D."
10/10/2014 - "This is my 9th year ordering from OrnamentShop.com. I just wanted to thank you for continuing to add new angels and new snowmen each year. Since I always order angels for the girls and snowmen for the boys, by choosing items marked "new," I don't have to worry about duplicates from one year to the next. We've added 2 more girls to the family since last Christmas - our first grandchild in June and a great niece just 10 days ago. I can always count on quality ornaments and great customer service from your site. Thanks again! Sandi R."
10/15/2014 - "I love OrnamentShop and always purchase personalized ornaments for weddings. The brides/grooms seem to genuinely love your ornaments and I always receive great comments on them. Tresa T."
10/17/2014 - "I LOVE this shopping site. I am a repeat customer and will continue every year. Mary M."
11/4/2014 - "I have been shopping with you for three years now. I wish I had known about you sooner. I have not been disappointed in the quality and I love the fact I have both the name and the year placed on each ornament. I would not hesitate in recommending Ornament Shop to others. Mary T."
11/9/2014 - "I loved the ornaments. They were just what I wanted. Yes I would recommend your sight to everyone. You are the only place that I have gotten ornaments from. I have been getting them from you for a least the last five years. I just wished you had more of the gma and gpa ones. I have 18 grandchildren and can never find one with that many things on it to personalize. Thank you Pat Ehlers"
9/25/2014 - "I have been collecting annual Christmas Ornaments for thirty years. Ornament Shop has been the only source for the last 4 years. Thank You Ornament Shop!!! Charles W."
8/11/2015 - "I have purchased from Ornament Shop in previous years and have always been very satisfied. The recipients were also pleased with the quality and attention to details. Pauline S."
5/21/2015 - "Today, I received the ten Christmas ornaments I ordered from you to give to my granddaughter. They are all representative of the children's books that I write and illustrate for her (just for her--I don't sell them). I can't tell you how thrilled I am with the quality of the ornaments. Everyone of them exceeded my expectations. I especially like the "cow jumping over the moon"--it's gorgeous. This particular book I'm writing right now is about a little boy who amusement park ride (rocket ship), lets loose, and he soars into space and becomes a little astronaut who is befriended by two little aliens. They have fun in space, joining the cow jumping over the moon, etc. That is why I ordered an astronaut, space ship, rocket ship, etc. to give to her when I give her the book. My friends can't believe you sell all these unusual quality ornaments. I wrote a book for her last year about an American girl who goes to visit her cousin in Ireland, and they set out to capture a leprechaun and be granted three wishes. It was such a coincidence that part of the story takes place in a mushroom house which is almost identical to the mushroom ornament that was in this order. That is why I requested "2014" be written on it. I also want to say that the personalization is beautiful and the packaging was perfect. They arrived all intact. Now, I'm sure I'll never package them to send to her like I received them, but I'll do my best. I live in Florida, and she lives in CT. I hope one day they will be passed down to her children. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you...I'm thrilled. Regards,Bernice S."

They Sleeparound
It can be said that punk-rock vocalists often sound a bit dog-like, what with all the frenzied barking that only a lyric sheet could decipher (though, in crit-speak, the correct term's probably something like canine-esque). But the ruff-ruff-styledbackups on the Sleeparounds' "Shitty Party" aren't coming from lead vocalist Devin Nelson but, um, from his dog, Franky. OK, so it's only one part of one song, but it speaks albums about the band's fun, don't-give-a-shit attitude. It's an attitude that's right in line with the Sleeparounds' music, which faithfully (and unapologetically) sticks to the Ramones/Queers script three-chords, three-note guitar leads, catchy choruses, and lyrics that would make Joey Ramone blush. According to bassist Eric Ridgemont, the band's forthcoming Baking Things With Light "might make you wet your toes." Well, better that than Franky.
The Sleeparounds join Monday Morning Mixtape, Fake Problems, and Stunna on Saturday, December 23, at Backbone Music, 61 SE Fourth Ave., Delray Beach. The show starts at 7 p.m. Admission costs $5. Call 561-266-2663, or visit www.myspace.com/backbonemusic.

French Lawmakers Debate Turkey's EU Bid
October 15, 2004
The French Parliament will today debate Muslim-majority Turkey's hopes of joining the European Union, a bid that has so far little real support from either the political mainstream or the French public. Lawmakers from President Jacques Chirac's Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) and from other parties have been pushing for a debate on Turkey's EU aspirations before December 17. That is when EU leaders are to finalise an initial approval of membership talks. Chirac's support of membership talks for Turkey places him at odds with many lawmakers and French opinion. Three-quarters of 893 people interviewed for a poll released on Monday said they opposed Turkey joining the bloc which has 25 member nations. Chirac said recently that France would decide in a referendum whether it wanted Turkey to join the EU, which currently has 25 members. That could jeopardise Turkey's aspirations, since EU member states must unanimously approve any nation's application for membership. Last week, the EU's 30-member executive commission recommended the start of entry talks. It is now up to the EU's 25 leaders to approve the recommendation at the December 17-18 summit in Brussels. That would pave the way for the start of entry talks with the overwhelmingly Muslim country of 71 million people as early as next year. Turkey has carried out some needed reforms to qualify for EU membership, such as abolishing the death penalty and cutting back the power of the military in politics.

Star Tobacco (lenticular) Tin Sign/sold Here/chew Pat. 1888 For SaleUp for sale is and extremely rare Star Tobacco tin sign that when you walk buy it says, SOLD HERE/STAR Tobacco/CHEW with a picture of the Tobacco on one end and stars on the other end of the sign. This sign is triple sign pat. July 24,ETC 1888 Roots & Heinemann Connersville, Ind.USA. I believe that this sign was made to hang in a store window as it has advertising on both sides, at eye level to catch ones attention when walking by. Wikipedia's explanation of Lenticular, "Lenticular printing is a technology in which lenticular lenses (a technology that is also used for 3D displays) are used to produce printed images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles." The sign measures 18 1/2"x 4 5/16" I have taken pictures of the sign as best I can so you can see the imperfections. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me before you offer. Thanks and good luck.

From: Austin , TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Wildflowers
Title: Excessive nitrogen inhibiting coreopsis blooms
Answered by: Joe Marcus
QUESTION:I planted coreopsis in the summer last year and they bloomed profusely nonstop from June 2005 to April 2006. However, this past summer, continuing to present time, my coreopsis have not bloomed at all nor do they show signs of incoming bloom. These coreopsis are in my Austin home. Please advise! I also planted the same coreopsis in my other house in Ponca City Oklahoma. They just started showing a few blooms. It seems like thay are more foliage than blooms. Please advise!
ANSWER:The description you give for your coreopsis plants makes us think that they are getting too much nitrogen. High soil fertility will result in lots of plant and foliage growth, but suppress flowering. If you've been feeding your coreopsis it would be a good idea to stop, or at least decrease the amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer. Some natural fertilizers, especially manure-based ones are especially high in nitrogen. Plants receiving too much nitrogen will typically have very dark green, leathery foliage.

Libor arrests are looming, sources say
U.S. prosecutors and European regulators are reportedly close to charging individual traders with colluding to rig global benchmark interest rates.

Share via Email
U.S. prosecutors and European regulators are close to arresting individual traders and charging them with colluding to manipulate global benchmark interest rates, according to people familiar with a sweeping investigation into the rate-rigging scandal.
Federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., have recently contacted lawyers representing some of the individuals under suspicion to notify them that criminal charges and arrests could be imminent, said two of those sources who asked not to be identified because the investigation is ongoing.
Defence lawyers, some of whom represent individuals under suspicion, said prosecutors have indicated they plan to begin making arrests and filing criminal charges in the next few weeks.
In long-running financial investigations it is not uncommon for prosecutors to contact defence lawyers for individuals before filing charges to offer them a chance to co-operate or take a plea, these lawyers said.
The prospect of charges and arrests of individuals means that prosecutors are getting a fuller picture of how traders at major banks allegedly sought to influence the London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, and other global rates that underpin hundreds of trillions of dollars in assets.
The criminal charges would come alongside efforts by regulators to punish major banks with fines and could show that the alleged activity was not rampant in the banks.
"The individual criminal charges have no impact on the regulatory moves against the banks," said a European source familiar with the matter. "But banks are hoping that at least regulators will see that the scandal was mainly due to individual misbehaviour of a gang of traders."
In Europe, financial regulators are focusing on a ring of traders with several European banks who allegedly sought to rig benchmark interest rates such as Libor, said the European source familiar with the investigation in Europe.
The source, who did not want to be identified because the investigation is ongoing, said regulators are sifting through emails between a group of traders and believe they are now close to piecing together a picture of how they allegedly conspired to make money by manipulating the rates.
The rates are set daily based on an average of estimates supplied by a panel of banks.
"More than a handful of traders at different banks are involved," said the source familiar with the investigation by European regulators.
(Last week, the Financial Times reported that the regulators were looking at suspected communication between four traders who had worked at Barclays, Credit Agricole, HSBC and Deutsche Bank.)
It is not clear what individuals and banks federal prosecutors are most focused on. A top U.S. Department of Justice lawyer overseeing the investigation did not respond to a request for a comment.
Reuters previously reported that more than a dozen current and former employees of several large banks are under investigation, including Barclays, UBS and Citigroup, and have hired defence lawyers over the past year as a federal grand jury in Washington continues to gather evidence.
The activity in the Libor investigation, which has been going on for three years, has quickened since Barclays agreed last month to pay $453 million in fines and penalties to settle allegations with regulators and prosecutors that some of its employees tried to manipulate key interest rates from 2005 through 2009.
Barclays, which signed a non-prosecution agreement with U.S. prosecutors, is the first major bank to reach a settlement in the investigation, which also is looking at the activities of employees at HSBC, Deutsche Bank and other major banks.
The Barclays settlement sparked outrage and a series of public hearings in Britain, after which Barclays chief executive Bob Diamond announced his resignation from the big British bank.
The revelations have raised questions about the integrity of Libor, which is used as benchmark in setting prices for loans, mortgages and derivative contracts.
