I made these for my kids as an April fools 'dessert', they thought it was funny. I piped the potatoes onto the meatloaf and sprinkled them with bacon bits. From a distance they looked like cupcakes. I used instant potatoes and left out the garlic and parsley. They were actually really delicious.
I made this last week. It was great and everyone loved them. Perfect for portion control. Best of all, it cooks in half the time of a single, traditional meat "loaf." For me, it's the only way to make meatloaf from now on.
I used this recipe for venison because my boyfriend is a hunter and it was fantastic! The only thing I would change next time is I would cut the steak sauce in half as it was a little strong for me. I also stuffed the mini loafs with a small pinch of mozzarella cheese. Love the portion size!

For Immediate Release:
SAINT PAUL, MN – Ninety percent of working-age households in the U.S. are not saving enough for retirement and about forty-five percent have nothing saved at all. The Minnesota Department of Commerce is urging Minnesotans to take steps to start saving during National Save for Retirement Week.
National Save for Retirement Week is a national event that encourages saving in the workplace and community. To help, Commerce Commissioner Rothman is launching the first in a series of podcasts that addresses financial literacy and educating consumers to make smart money decisions and avoid scams that will lead to a more secure life today and for the future.
"Minnesotans should save for retirement today, one smart decision at a time," said Commissioner Rothman. "Consumer education leads to better financial decisions, and protection from investor scams."
Nathan Dungan, president and founder of "Share, Save, Spend," joins Commissioner Rothman in offering tips to get started. With tight budgets it can be a daunting task to start saving. The Commerce Department advises Minnesotans to review their budget and identify savings that can add up over time.
How Can I Start?
Making small steps each day to understand your finances, make a plan, and figure out short and long-term savings goals can change your financial future in 30 days. Visit the Commerce Department's website to start the 30-Day Financial Health Challenge and take a step each day to improve your financial health.
Start saving with energy efficiency and conservation
The Minnesota Department of Commerce Division of Energy Resources encourages consumers to save energy and money by unplugging appliances when not in use, using a programmable thermostat, and getting a home energy audit.
The Division of Energy Resources offers "Minnesota Energy Tips," a twice-monthly feature that provides timely, practical energy tips for Minnesota consumers. It is intended to help residents save energy and save money. For more information on energy efficiency and energy conservation, visit the Commerce Department website and check out two consumer energy guides: Home Envelope and Appliances, Lighting, Electronics.
Be a smart investor
Once consumers are ready to start investing for their retirement, The Securities Units Investor Education also offers tools, tips, and warnings will help you avoid scams and make informed investment decisions in today's complex financial marketplace.
"Consumers need to keep in mind that that if an investment sounds too good to be true, then it probably is," said Commissioner Rothman. "Minnesotans need to educate themselves - don't be afraid to ask questions and get trusted advice."
Investors should contact the Minnesota Department of Commerce Securities Section with questions they may have about an investment product, broker or adviser, when making an investment. The Securities Section can be reached by phone at (651) 539-1638. Questions or consumer complaints can also be sent by email to firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail to the Minnesota Department of Commerce, 85, 7th Place East, Suite 500, Saint Paul, MN 55101.

The Annual Evaluation Report for 2011 focuses on lessons arising from implementation to date of WFP's Strategic Plan 2008-2013. It covers 16 evaluations on: strategic themes in the transition from 'food aid to food assistance', such as partnerships and how Country Offices adapt to change; school feeding and WFP support to agricultural small holders and markets; and WFP's strategic positioning and performance in Haiti, Kenya, Rwanda and Yemen; and others.
30 August 2011
The Yemen Country Portfolio Evaluation (CPE) evaluates WFP's 12 operations implemented between 2006-2010. During this period, WFP's operations shifted from those focused on development interventions addressing refugees, chronic poverty, education and health to those focused emergency and humanitarian response interventions.
Growing from $7.5million USD to $38.8million USD in expenditures over the evaluation period, WFP had dramatically scaled up its operations in Yemen. The evaluation found evidence of good overall alignment with the policies and principles of government and other humanitarian actors and demonstrable contribution of WFP's activities toward short-term life-saving objectives.
30 August 2011
Overall, the evaluation team found that the WFP Yemen portfolio of operations, the performance, strategic decision making and alignment with the government of Yemen, are well placed to address the humanitarian needs in Yemen.
In an increasingly volatile and political context, the WFP has scaled up its operations, found funding to address emergency needs, and played a key role in moving forward the national food security agenda.

Student Employment
There are many opportunities to work part-time while attending school at UW-Stevens Point, and well over 1,600 students do so while attending school. In addition, hundreds of others are assisted with finding work in the community. Many others find work themselves. Working part-time while attending school clearly has become very popular for many students.
UW-Stevens Point is fortunate enough to have a
Student Involvement and Employment Office (SIEO)
to assist students in their part-time job hunt. Located in the University Center lower level, this office has a dedicated staff that is in touch with employers all over the campus and in the community always looking for employment opportunities for students here at the University.
College Work Study Program
Before work-study will be included on a student's award (1) the student has to indicate on the FAFSA interest in work-study, (2) the student must meet the current UWSP qualifications, and (3) work-study money must be available. If awarded work-study, the student must work with the Student Involvement and Employment Office to secure a job. It is beneficial for students to work on this program because, unlike other forms of employment, CWSP does not reduce grant and other need-based aid eligibility the next year ("need-based" wages are excluded from the analysis of need).
Finding Jobs
The University Food Service hires a large number of students to help with meal service. Any student interested in working in one of these positions should make contact directly with the Food Service Office at 209 University Center for more information.
Stevens Point Community
Some of the most interesting (and lucrative) work can be found in the community. The Student Involvement and Employment Office participates in the Federal Job Locator and Development program; this means employment opportunities are generated in the local marketplace. Anything is possible here: work at a local major industry, doing personal assistance with retired faculty members or work with a local community resident just to name a few. Job openings are posted at the Student Involvement and Employment Office, where students can register for the kind of work they would like, so that when a new position opens up they can be contacted. So if you want a job, we've got a great place for you to go; just visit the
Student Involvement and Employment Office (SIEO)

Electricity plays an important role in the lives of Carbon County residents.
But when unsafe conditions exist inside a home, electricity can be harmful and children deserve special consideration as well as protection, pointed out Rocky Mountain Power.
It is important for local consumers to remember that there is enough power at every electrical outlet to cause serious injury or even death if proper electrical safety precautions are not taken, stressed the company.
"Parents and caregivers are urged to protect children and other family members from electrical injury by regularly checking to ensure their homes are free from potential hazards," emphasized Mike Felice, Rocky Mountain Power safety director.
"Ensure that safe conditions exist in day care facilities, in hotel rooms when traveling, and in the homes of neighbors and friends where children play. Instruct children at a young age to avoid potential electrical hazards both inside and outside of the home," continued the company's safety representative.
The majority of electrical accidents that occur in the home and the resulting injuries can be avoided by exercising caution around electrical equipment, heeding safety precautions and using common sense, according to the company.
Rocky Mountain Power offered several reminders to people about safely using electricity inside the home:
The power company cautioned local residents to:
â¢Refrain from overloading electrical circuits.
Overloaded circuits are a common cause of fires.
â¢Install outlet plug covers if small children live in the house.
â¢Never use electrical appliances near water.
Hair dryers, radios and other bathroom or kitchen appliances should be kept away from sinks and tubs, emphasized the power company.
â¢Use extension cords wisely.
People should never exceed the load rating and always dispose of damaged cords.
In addition, people should not use extension cords as a replacement for permanent wiring, indicated the power company.
â¢Attach extension cords to appliances before plugging into electrical outlets.
â¢Always disconnect from the outlets by pulling on the plug - not the cord.
â¢Unplug appliances before attempting repairs or maintenance.
â¢Use three-pronged grounded plugs only in three-prong outlets.
People should never cut the third prong off a plug.
â¢Use ground fault circuit interrupters in bathrooms, garages, near kitchen sinks and outdoors.
Ground fault circuit interrupters are outlets with red and black test and reset buttons, explained the power company.
The interrupter outlets are designed to shut off power during a short circuit or grounding event.
â¢Always turn off circuit breakers and test to make sure they are de-energized before performing any electrical work or projects around the home.
Professional electricians can help ensure that large projects are performed according to electrical codes, pointed out the power company.
For additional information, Carbon County residents with Internet access may visit the company's website at www.rockymountainpower.net/safety.
Local residents may also contact the power company toll-free at 800-375-7085 for free safety materials.

Following a Year Round Operations (YRO) Feasibility Study
in April 2000, the CSU began the process of expanding state-supported
year round operations in Summer 2001. With conversion funding
provided by the legislature, most of the enrollment of matriculated
students on 10 campuses was converted from self-support to state-support.
The legislature also provided funding to "buy-down"
summer fees on non-YRO campuses to the State University Fee level.
In summer 2002, one additional campus was funded for conversion.
Conversion to state-supported YRO on the remaining campuses will
be contingent upon receiving funding from the state.

Efficiency of the Hepatitis B Sci-B-Vac Vaccine in HIV Positive Patients
Recruitment status was Not yet recruiting
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
HBV vaccination is of paramount importance among HIV positive persons due to an increased risk of infection and disease progression. The most widely used ENGERIX B vaccine reaches a lower rate of vaccination (20-70%) among HIV positive vaccinees (compared to over 90% in the normal population). Sci-B-Vac is novel vaccine containing 3 antigens and is therefore more immunogenic (as opposed to one in ENGERIX B). Its use has been associated with higher and more rapid vaccination rates. Therefore, it has a theoretical advantage in HIV positive individuals.
Biological: Sci-B-Vac
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Efficiency of the Novel Hepatitis B Vaccine Sci-B-Vac in HIV Positive Patients, a Prospective Cohort Study
- HBV immunization rate after 1, 2 and 3rd dose of Sci-B-Vac [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]HBV Surface antibodies will be obtained one month after each Sci-B-Vac dose for each vaccinee. Rate and rapidity of immunization will be measured.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|November 2011
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|November 2013
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|March 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Sci-B-Vac
The study involves only one, open label arm. Rate of immunization will be compared to results obtained using the ENGERIX B vaccine among HIV positive persons in formerly published, historical cohorts.
Biological: Sci-B-Vac
10 microgram/ml hepatitis B surface antigen, 1 ml given intramuscularly
Detailed Description:
A cohort of 100 HIV positive, HBV negative individuals who have not been vaccinated against HBV before will be prospectively given 3 doses of Sci-B-Vac at 0, 1 and 6 months. HBV antibodies will be checked one month after every dose given.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- HBV negative
- HIV positive individuals
- Above the age of 18
- Treated at the TASMC Aids clinic, who have signed and informed consent and have never been vaccinated against HBV before
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant women

Dr. Yun Suhr's Ratings
I visited Dr. Yun Suhr, he was very nice and spends very good time to share information about your health. I was amazed with his friendly nature. I recommended him to one of my friend and my friend was so happy and was thankful to me for suggesting him Dr. Yun.

I have been seeing Dr. Suhr for about 15 years. Prior to him I saw a very highly rated doctor at UW. To compare the two is very unkind to the fellow from UW. The first time I saw Dr. Suhr I told him I was tired of feeling sick and tired. I had been complaining to my previous doctor for about 10 years about my ever-worsening condition to no avail. Dr. Suhr listened and immediately began working with me to find a solution. I was diagnosed within a short time and my symptoms are very well under control. Many thanks to Dr. Suhr for listening and (in my case) more importantly taking action. This is a man who truly cares about his patients. I can't recommend him too highly. Thank-you Dr. Suhr!

I went to Dr. Yun Suhr for my regular physical checkup and it was great experience with him. He is so friendly and very helpful. He asked lots of questions during our meeting and tried to unstand me as much as he can. He suggested very good routine life practice to keep ourselves fit. I would recommend this doctor to go for your medical needs. He is really good doctor.

Dr. Suhr has been my primary care physician for 10+ years. He was referred to me by my gynocologist. I have found him easy to talk to, he listens well and is very thorough. I would recommend him to anyone seeking an internist. The clinic is well located although the parking at the new facility could be awkward for anyone with a disability. The staff is very helpful although the patient check-in area is cramped and doesn't provide the level of privacy some may feel they need.

I love Dr. Suhr. After ploughing through 12-16 doctors my Acupuncturist Doctor recommended him. He is a total father figure, acknowledges that patients have more knowledge about medicine than they did 50 years ago, takes time to listen to you and is caring. He was the very first Doctor to put all my reports together and come up with a conclusion about what I might be suffering from. Amazing man...I thought I would never be comfortable with a male doctor for my annual physical but I am totally at ease with him. He is just great. Also Virginia Mason's new check-in methodology is perfect. I love their staff!

Dr. Suhr takes his time and listens to every word a patient says. He is good and thourough.He will not simply assume a patient knows nothing and encourage patients to know their bodies and illness and how to stay well.The staff is incredibly friendly and askes the correct questions on the phone. Nurses are on time and get me in on time as scheduled with-in a 5 minute time. check-in is made easy even in a full waiting room. they remain calm and incredibly sweet ladies. I respect the manager of Virginia Mason Kirkland she is incredibly aware of her staff physicians and the patients who enter that building..

MPhil Upgrade - what to know
Research students at UCL are enrolled in an MPhil/PhD programme of study and must upgrade to PhD candidacy. For full time research students, this should occur between 12 and 15 months from enrolment and for part-time students, from 24-30 months. The upgrade process requires a written report to be generated and the recommendations for the written report can be found here. The subsidiary supervisor and another UCL academic, who is not involved with the research project, act as examiners for this upgrade report. The student will have a viva voce with these two examiners and a recommendation for or against upgrade will be made by them to the primary supervisor and graduate tutor. Please remember that the internal UCL assessor for the upgrade cannot be a party to the final thesis viva.

By, Adam K. Fetterman
After the burning of a Koran in Florida, violent protests erupted in Afghanistan, killing at least 12 people, and it continues. As humans, we look for causes for such violence. As P.Z. Myers indicates, there is no shade of gray when it comes to the taking of another human life. What is it that makes people feel that it is acceptable to take someone's life? Even when resulting from self-defense, it is a rare occasion that murder is the appropriate response. Regardless, there is no self-defense required in response to burning a book. Therefore, we look elsewhere for the cause or justification. One thing that is getting difficult to ignore, particularly in the current example, is religion. Many people, myself included, have had a hard time blaming religion for violence, because we want to be tolerant and accepting. There must be underlying factors beyond religion that drive these behaviors, right? There almost certainly are, but this recent eruption of violence over a book indicates that religion is playing a larger role than we typically credit. It appears that religion is a weapon.
Violent ideological groups tend to foster a number of justification techniques to substantiate acts of violence (Angie et al., 2011). For example, they foster feelings of moral superiority and righteousness, which makes them feel justified (Mumferd et al., 2008). As Angie and colleagues (2011) cite, this moral superiority is compounded by feelings of victimization and injustice. There is a clear connection between these findings and what we see in response to the Koran burning. Further findings implicate religion in these acts, such as the increasing of aggression when violent acts are sanctioned by a god (Bushman et al., 2007).
It can be hard to blame a whole religion for the acts of a few. To do so may even seem xenophobic. However, it continues to grow difficult to give religion a free pass, as Jerry Coyne points out quite eloquently. We see that religion gives individuals the justification needed to act in a violent matter. Even if the religion is not the root cause, it appears to be a powerful weapon. If so, it is time to put down the weapons and work things out like rational humans.

Price received a big bonus in May when Precis Communications purchased Peak Cablevision and began expanding its operation. Not only did the former cablevision stay intact, but Price became the Precis headquarters for its entire cable systems operation, which extends to 46 communities in Utah, Arizona and Nevada.
According to Shane Baggs, Director of Operations, Precis plans on investing $12,900,000 over the next 18 months in the three states.
On May 1 Precis Communications became the cable television service provider in Carbon and Emery Counties as well as many other rural Utah communities following its purchase of Peak Cablevision from Cox Communications. Since that time, they have been extremely busy with many activities that will benefit these communities in the very near future says Shane Baggs director of operations.
"Precis is looking at expanding to more rural areas," said Baggs, explaining that they are the largest rural cable provider in Utah. Precis currently employs 43 people.
The first part of August, Precis will complete a satellite uplink facility in Salt Lake City allowing Precis to deliver digital quality broadcast signals to customers in every community they serve.
"This is unheard of in the rural cable television industry and we are very proud of this project," said Baggs. As of the first part of August, Precis will provide KUTV, KUWB, KTVX, KSL, KUPX, KEUD, KZPN, KULC, KBYU, KJZZ, and KSTU in digital format, across the entire state.
Their satellite facility will allow for the potential delivery of distance learning services as well as the potential delivery of high-speed Internet access to all communities in Utah. In addition, Precis will be positioned to offer high definition television service as this product becomes economically viable.
"Over the past six weeks, we've studied in detail the customer's satisfaction with our current services and have found that the number-one reason for dissatisfaction is due to poor off-air signals from Salt Lake City," explained Baggs. "Therefore, we know that this improvement will dramatically affect our customers' satisfaction with our services."
In order to accomplish the offering of digital broadcast signals, Precis will be be making other changes to the current lineup.
Sometime in August, Baggs added, they will be expanding digital television services. This event will dramatically increase the number of channels available to customers.
"During our customer satisfaction studies, we also found that our customer's have two distinctly differing attitudes regarding sports programming," states Baggs. "They either want more, or they want less. Therefore, we're moving and expanding most of our sports programming to the completely optional digital tier offerings."
Once the digital service is launched, customers will have available to them over 150 channels with no equipment to purchase.
On top of the new services launching soon, Precis will also be upgrading their customer service center operations by investing in new customer billing software and hardware that will allow customer care representatives to handle telephone calls much more efficiently.
"The almost $13 million that Precis will invest does not account for the ongoing investments they make in local cities via purchases of gas, tools and materials during the normal course of our business," explained Baggs.
Also, Precis employees live in cities in which they perform service and many support local organizations by volunteering in the cities in which they live and raise families.
"The cable industry is really watching Precis," said Baggs, adding that as they deploy all the new digital cable, rural television has never looked so good. "Our success will dictate how other cable companies plan their strategies. We've launched a new form of digital technology last November and within six months had the highest penetration for any rural cable provider in the United States."

Here in 1771, an armed rebellion of backcountry farmers called Regulators battled with royal governor William Tryon's militia. The spark for this conflict was growing resentment in the Carolina colony against the taxes, dishonest sheriffs, and illegal fees imposed by the British Crown. In response, the Regulators were formed and began to fight back. Though the rebellion was crushed, a few years later their tactics became a model for the colonists fighting the British in the American Revolutionary War.
Located on the grounds of the site is the Allen House, a log dwelling characteristic of those lived in by frontier people on the western fringes of the colony in this period.
A brief article on colonial North Carolina history entitled, "Voices from the Past" is available on-line from UNC-TV.

Two points were critical, anyway you cut it.
But the Rangers received something just as important last night, secondary scoring.
All season, the likes of Chris Drury, Sean Avery, Ryan Callahan, and Chris Higgins have been held off the score sheet. Even in the past couple weeks, their improved work ethic was not being rewarded with points or offensive contributions.
But last night in Buffalo, something clicked as top-scorers Vinny Prospal and Marian Gaborik didn't have to be sole source of offense. The top-nine forwards saw more equitable time on ice and it paid dividends.
Late in the first period, Higgins broke in 2-on-1 with Gaborik and lifted a wrist shot over Ryan Miller to give the Rangers the lead. Higgins has been much better along the boards and has not shied away from the dirty areas in the past few games.
With just a one-goal deficit, the Rangers continued to pressure through the game, putting 15 shots on goal in the second period rather than sitting back or allowing the Sabres to get at Henrik Lundqvist. It was an overall complete 40 minutes of play led in large part the middle lines.
In the third, Buffalo came on strong looking for the equalizer, but steady goaltending and all five skaters involved in the defensive zone coverage prevented any major scoring opportunities. Then, with about six minutes to go, Avery cut wide and put a wrist shot low on Miller who kicked a rebound to Callahan near the crease. The charging Callahan buried the puck, giving the Rangers a 2 - 0 lead and the eventual game winner.
A Lundqvist blunder gave the Sabres a chance with about 1:30 left, but again team play kept them at bay.
So how can a team put forth such a disjointed effort one night and play completely the next? In this case, the lines finally clicked.
Head Coach John Tortorella has been vying for the right combinations, and last night was pretty close. Drury centering Callahan and Avery was a consistent two-way line that should stick a while. Newcomer Erik Christensen between Ales Kotalik and Chris Higgins was pretty good as well.
And while Artem Anisimov isn't the best option as first line center, he played well with Gaborik and Prospal. Once the Rangers get healthy, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect these combinations:
Prospal - Dubinsky - Gaborik
Avery - Drury - Callahan
Higgins - Anisimov - Kotalik
and a hodge podge fourth line between Aaron Voros, Donald Brashear, Christensen, and Brian Boyle.

How long am I to expect the battery for this to last?
I am a pretty frequent user and within 4 days the battery is 81% already. Is this normal?
- Asked by Faaiz K from Stockton-on-tees
- Flag as inappropriate (How long am I to expect the battery for this to last?)
4 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Mine lasted less than a month. I kept it on all day and only turned it off at night (that doesn't mean it was used all day though but I am a pretty heavy computer user). That's just from the batteries that came with it.
I have rechargables in now that have been in there for less than 2 days. They are at 69% (but rechargeables in my experience do not last as long as disposable batteries).
- Answered by Alice C from Lynnwood
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 1
This will really depend on the type of batteries used.
The batteries provided with the Magic Mouse, on average lasts 1-2 months for average computer users.
Rechargeable batteries have approximately 3-6 weeks of use per charge, as they do provide less voltage (1.2V) compared to disposables (1.5V).
Alkaline batteries will have approximately 2-6 weeks of use per set of batteries.
Lithium batteries have approximately 2-4 months of use, and last by far the longest per set of batteries. Some claim to have 100% charge, while still in first month of use.
So in the end, it depend on how often you will be buying batteries and how much you are willing to pay for a decent set of batteries.
Hope this helps and answers your questions with much depth.
- Answered by Peter H from Brisbane
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 2
I think the period would be about a month if I use it daily and continuously with regular batteries. Mine have lasted about two moths and something, but I use it only periodically over the day (only some hours), also I never turn it off, except if traveling (not even over nights).
I changed the batteries about three weeks ago, I purchased common batteries, nothing fancy, and I still have 74% of battery. Hope this helps.
- Answered by Rodrigo G from Mexico Df
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 3
I use a pair of NiMH 2000 mAH rechargeables on an older Magic Mouse. From full charge they last approximately a month of daily use, six hours a day. I believe there is auto power down circuitry built in and I don't physically turn it off.
Duracell copper top alkalines will probably last longer but I've never tried running down a pair.
IMHO, unless you don't mind tossing a pair of alkanlines every other month, get rechargeables, put a pair on charging standby. Cost effective too.

What? Eh? On the contrary, nothing wrong with Dapper Gents (or Ladies for that matter) in the least. Anything that cuts down on the competition (a moot point since now I am a married man) and allows women to talk to men with the added bonus of said men not needing to be me has got my vote, just don't ask me to be dapper. I have a pathological aversion to having a man's cock shoved up me bum that presents itself in a frenzied show of homicidal rage and violence, nothing personal though. I don't think that makes me anti-dapper, just a guy that knows he's strictly butter side up, if you take my meaning.

Comments about SOF SOLE Men's Arch Insole:
I have used this product for several years and always purchased them for any new running/hiking shoes. I have purchased several new ones, but they have changed the product and made the heel thicker than it used to be so my heel is not able to seat properly in the shoe. I made this purchase hoping that this was possibly just a few instances, but every one that I have received is the same way. Very disappointed in the fact that they changed something that was perfect.

|Part of '04 Sierra Challenge. Nice climb featuring two interesting events; 1 stranded climber, and 1 impressive mountain lion near Horton Lakes. The climber was able to exit on his own with help from another in our group. The mountain lion.. well, I didn't stay around to see what it did after it chased some deer into a box canyon. I went the other way (quickly).

|Made it to the top of the Noth Couloir, but simply ran out of time in the day. Is an easy day climb in a dry winter if you leave extra early. Awesome climb.
|Posted Feb 22, 2006 10:26 pm
|Route Climbed: E Couloir variation Date Climbed: 16 July, 2005
|Started at a late 10.42. The first time I'd been near 13k' in awhile, so it took me awhile to get going. Various threatening-looking clouds kept me second guessing my decision to continue as well, until I stashed my hiking poles & crampons at a notch between the main peak & a minor buttress. Decided to start here instead of continuing up the steep garbage chute.
Went up the face from aforementioned notch (to the R of a prominent dihedral on the main face), somehow reasoning that I'd eventually meet up w/ the standard route. I didn't, & spent a lot of time route-finding. Sort of zig-zagged up the face on rock from good to crumbly shit. Mostly sustained 4th class, with a few places of 5.2. Heard thunder as I neared the summit, making me quite anxious.
Summited to discover that there was a storm over the Owens Valley. Enjoyed the views with a Sierra Nevada Summerfest & a smoke, before going down the standard 4th class route to the notch (rock quality definitely much better here). Incredible views of Humphreys & Tom, & even a good gander over to the Palisades! Wonderful peak.
Had a monster standing glissade down, albeit with a swarm of mosquitoes that I couldn't seem to escape. Glissaded all the way down to the bottom of the snow line (maybe a few hundred ft above the mineshaft). Could definitely see coming back to snowboard down! Great day in a beautiful part of the Sierra.

|Climbed with Al Kwok and socalmtneer. We started early at about 2:30AM from the locked gate and so we had great cramponing on hard snow pretty much all the way to the top of the notch. I climbed the rock section up & down in 45 minutes. Spent 10 minutes on the summit perusing through the summit register and couldn't find Peter Croft's entries (guess I didn't look hard enough). Had a fun glissade down almost to the mineshaft area.

|Jim Wosnak and I started out at 8:45 am from the locked gate. Windy most of the way, but still a little warm. Made the top of the couloir by 2:30pm. The 4th class rock climb was enjoyable but very cold and windy with solid 4th class - maybe a couple 5th class moves. Downclimbing and one rappel led us back to the snow. We skiied from the top of the couloir all the way back to snowline - around 10,000 ft. and walked back to the car by 6:00 pm. Great day!

|Starting at 3:30 am from the base camp (abounded mining cave) we reached the ledge of the Basin Peak by 8:00 am. The anticipated scramble to the summit ended up being a mixed rock and ice climb with lots of route finding. We reached the summit by 12:00 pm.

|Day (or shall I say night) hiked with Steve Larson. We found great snow conditions in the couloir on the way up. And what great scrambling to the summit!! While downclimbing the rock section, I took a wrong turn and found myself at the top of a cliff marked w/ fresh rappel slings. Not feeling like downclimbing vertical rock in mountain boots, I climbed up a bit, eventually found my way to the notch and plunge-stepped down the couloir. Burgers at Jack's marked a fine end to this great outing!

|Here it is, Memorial Day weekend, and it's cold and windy! What's up with that? After hearing dire predictions of soft snow on this peak we decided to leave the trailhead at midnight. Although the poor snow conditions never materialized, leaving that early (well, okay, we walked away at 1:15 am) was a bonus in terms of getting back with plenty of daylight. The skiing from the notch on down was awesome! The summit block is some fun scrambling. Staying near the arete is more exposed, but definitely more fun.

|Bivied in the mine, then climbed the couloir. Snow was firm until around 7:30am (the sun really started beating down).
Climbed the rock section unroped - probably class 4+ with some 5th-class moves thrown in for good measure. Spent a good bit of time getting used to the feel of my boots at that climbing level, downclimbing, pondering, etc. Encountered ice in some of the cracks, making for some interesting moments.
2 guys came up while I pondered, and broke out their rope (37m x 8.5mm double), harnesses, pro, etc. which they were able to use to rap off.
Descended the class 2 scramble, then down the chute Doug noted in the route page. Beware of melt-freeze ice / scree near the rock; I eventually elected to stay well clear of that and plunge-step down the snow gully, eventually contouring to the scree / snow gully opposite the couloir. Climbed about 500' or so on scree / talus (nasty), then glissaded the couloir, which by early afternoon was pretty soft.
Views were fantastic, and the day was perfect.

|Ckimbed the chute on the excellent snow with some weather coming upon us.We made ot the top of the chute by 8 am starting from the basecamp on the old mine. My partner and I climber the rock section to the summit in 2.5 hrs. The easier ground was covered with ice and verglass, roped up twice to climb some 5.4 short pitches to the summit. Hiked down the snow chute on the western slope and then down the SE face, hiked up the talus field to the top of the E Couloir again. Great mountain with one of the best views of Sieera I have ever seen in 4 years of climbing here. Looked like we were the first in the 2005 winter/spring season who made it to the summit.

Two local Oyster Creek Generating Station employees were honored today at PECO's headquarters in Philadelphia for their outstanding volunteer achievements.
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (March 4, 2009) - Two local Oyster Creek Generating Station employees were honored today at PECO's headquarters in Philadelphia for their outstanding volunteer achievements. The winners of Exelon's annual Energy for the Community Awards awarded $100,000 to a total of 12 recipients company-wide. The money is donated to the employees' chosen non-profit organizations.
"Many Oyster Creek employees donate their time and money to charitable organizations in our community," said Tim Rausch, Oyster Creek vice president. "I am proud of the work they do everyday to help make a difference in people's lives. They have made a positive impact on the Oyster Creek community."
The men and women who received awards this year worked on behalf of a variety of issues, including health and wellness, cancer research, emergency preparedness and environmental.
The two local winners, nominated by their peers, are:
· Nancy Eriksen, records management manager - For the past 10 years, Nancy has served on the board of directors for the Natural Resources Environmental Federation of New Jersey, the organization that operates the Lighthouse Center in Waretown. The Lighthouse Center, located on 194-acres overlooking Barnegat Bay, offers environmental workshops to teachers and local children. Nancy is the primary fundraiser for the Center, but she also helps promote environmental stewardship.· Stephen Serpe, reactor operator - Steve is a volunteer emergency medical technician for the Lacey Township First Aid Squad in Forked River. Through VolunteerMatch, Steve has tracked almost 700 volunteer hours this past year. Steve answers first aid calls, caring for patients ranging from minor injuries to cardiac respiratory arrest. Steve's peers on the volunteer ambulance squad also have great respect for him because they elected him First Lieutenant, which is the second highest position on the squad.
"Nancy is most enthusiastic in educating people about conservation awareness," said Terry O'Leary, president, Natural Resources Education Foundation of New Jersey. "She is also extremely dedicated at continuing to seek funding for environmental stewardship projects. She is the model for activism and always inspires others by her work ethic."
"Steve is truly dedicated and committed to the Lacey Township First Aid Squad. It is the unscheduled nature of emergency response that places extra burdens on one's duties at home and work. Steve has a challenging yet rewarding job, and he has extra family responsibilities, yet he still gives so much time to us. We respect Steve all the more for his obvious dedication," said Jon von Briesen, treasurer of Lacey Township First Aid Squad.
Exelon Nuclear employees are devoted members of our communities. In 2008, they gave $1.88 million to local United Ways where our plants are located in Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Jersey.
Exelon's Energy for the Community Employee Volunteer Awards serve as an expression of the company's commitment to the community and its employees. Winners earned awards for their non-profits up to $20,000, $10,000 or $5,000.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Leading or FollowingPosted by Dave under Election 2008 , War, Terror, and Democracy
No Comments
In yesterday's Best of the Web, James Taranto makes great points about Hilary the Candidate's latest pronouncements that she will end the war in Iraq if elected President.
Regarding the obvious inconsistencies noted in her having voted *for* the war in 2002, but now saying that she would not have done it if she were President at that time, James notes:
Whether or not you think the war was a good idea, it was indisputably the product of President Bush's leadership. He rallied the country behind it, so that it commanded something like 70% support in opinion polls. Congress's support was similarly strong, with 69% of the House and 77% of the Senate (including not just Mrs. Clinton but also fellow Democratic presidential candidates John Edwards, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd, along with John Kerry) voting in favor of the war.
Mrs. Clinton now says that if she were president in 2002, she would not have led the country to war. This amounts to an acknowledgment that her vote in favor of the war was not an act of leadership–that she was a follower. Was she following the president? This president? Obviously not. President Bush led the public to support the war, and Sen. Clinton followed the public. Now that public opinion has turned against the president and the war, so has Mrs. Clinton.
Why is this so important? If you care most about being on "the winning side" of public opinion, then you ultimately do not have any principled positions of your own. The 'opinion' of the public is quite fickle.
He continues:
So on Iraq, Mrs. Clinton stands resolutely on the side of public opinion, whichever side that may be in any given year. On Iran, about which public opinion is unformed, she is maddeningly noncommittal. This is fine for a senator, who merely casts one vote among 100. But the president–especially in times of international peril–needs to be able to make decisions in the national interest. Sometimes that means shaping public opinion, as President Bush did when he persuaded the public and Congress to support the war in Iraq. Sometimes it means defying public opinion, as Bush has done lately by resisting pressure to flee.
Were these decisions bad ones? History will judge, but at the moment most Americans seem to think so. Mrs. Clinton is seeking to become President Bush's successor by countering his dangerous boldness with extreme caution. She is presenting herself as the candidate who won't make bad decisions because she won't make decisions–who won't lead us astray because she will not lead.
But an excess of caution is itself a form of recklessness. Someone who won't make decisions won't make good or necessary decisions either. Therein lies the peril of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

This time my stay was as the last night of a Scottish touring holiday with my wife and 2 dogs. The hotel was just as I remembered it from last time I stayed in Jan 2014. Much less busy this particular evening, plenty of room to park, restaurant was quiet and so service was quite quick. Food was of good quality, as was the choice and quality of breakfast. The room was a good size with plenty of space for the two of us and our 2 small dogs. The room we had came with a king size bed. The additional charge for dogs was just £5. Much less than another B/W hotel where we had to pay £30. less

This is the fourth time in just over a year I have stayed at the Kings Manor. The hotel itself if well located for getting into Edinburgh and has good on site parking facilities, although the car park can be busy if you are in on a weekend. A regular bus service can take you in either direction - into town or down to East Lothian. Reception area and bar are nicely decorated and clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. This time I ate in the Restaurant, which I would not normally do. Although it was a little slow (again, busy weekend and the kitchen covers both Restaurant and Bistro) I was very surprised at the quality and choice of menu. The food was beautifully presented and tasty! Not at all typical for a chain style hotel. The pricing was also very very good, particularly considering how expensive nearby lesser restaurants cost. Room wise - I have had 2 really nice rooms when booking doubles or upgrade and have also had a small, tired single in the older part of the hotel (205 - has a very dated and bathroom and the room is very very small although fine for a single night). Breakfast provides a good buffet choice but make sure you get it on room rate when booking or you will need to either get a £10 voucher from reception or pay slightly more cash depending on your choices. (and don't go too late on a Sunday morning in busy season or you will find folk going up for seconds and almost clearing the hot plates out before you can get a chance to get your first breakfast even with staff working full pelt trying to re-stock!). less
