Jurlique Farm Now Open to Public
Australia is a natural wonder known for its tranquil beaches, pink mountains, turquoise sea and abundant wildlife. Home to the Great Barrier Reef, the Gold Coast, hundreds of national parks and a deep aboriginal culture, it is the ultimate vacation destination. Now Jurlique, a leading natural skincare brand born and raised in South Australia, is offering another reason for people to visit the land down under. For the first time ever, Jurlique is opening their farm to tours where visitors can experience the true farm to bottle process and see how organic skincare is grown, hand-tended and made into powerful formulations.
Nestled in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, an area known for world-class wine, sits the Jurlique Farm. It is here that Jurlique cultivates the flowers and plants that lend their power to the brand's high performance, organic formulas. With its unpolluted environment, Mediterranean climate and rich soil, the Jurlique farm provides an optimum landscape to produce powerful herbs and botanicals. This certified organic farm produces healthy plants and potent extracts that create highly efficacious skincare ingredients. Operating over 154 acres, the farm grows a wide variety of plants and flowers including lavender, calendula, and rose, the key ingredient in their signature Rosewater Balancing Mist. Jurlique also cultivates over 7,500 native trees on the farm, to assist with both organic accreditation and environmental activism.
Now opening its doors to the public, Jurlique is offering visitors of the farm a chance to learn about the company's vast history, how seedlings and plants are propagated, uses of plant varieties, organic farming principles, soil fertility and compost production, harvest processing and even bee keeping. Tour guides transport guests on a journey through the development process, from a display garden, to a seed propagation area and an organic preparation area, to an herb drying shed. The final stop is at the Jurlique farm retail shop where they can purchase a range of products fresh off the fields.
"Jurlique is a brand known for delivering quality natural personal care products using only the finest organically-grown ingredients," says Sam McKay, President and CEO. "Until this year, the Jurlique Farm had been closed to the public. We now invite people to explore the stunning landscape that cultivates and nourishes the natural ingredients in our skincare lineup as a way to educate our customers about where and how their favorite products come to life."
Jurlique was founded in 1985 by Dr. Jurgen Klein and his wife Ulrike, pioneers of Australian skin care. Since then, Jurlique has spent over 25 years unearthing organic ingredients to develop their unique Bio-Intrinsic™ process. Now, they're giving back with the Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist Deluxe Edition, filled with a limited-edition blend of potent rose extracts and high-performance botanicals. Proceeds from every bottle sold in the US will go towards Jurlique's Ideas of Beauty Fund in support of Chrysalis. Chrysalis and Jurlique are dedicated to empowering under-served women, helping them to create a path to self-sufficiency through volunteer efforts and mentorships that improve job skills and build self-confidence.

Spa Week Offers Affordable Health and Relaxation this October
Five years after the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression, many Americans are still living a "post-recession" lifestyle. Between pay cuts, lack of opportunity for advancement and heavier workloads, it is no surprise that one third of American employees experience chronic work stress according to a recent survey by the American Psychological Association. Countless studies show that this never-ending, physical and mental strain can lead to a number of severe health problems including heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. The bright side, however, is that even the most stress-inflicted workers can lower their risk of disease by simply practicing healthy habits. As research shows, this most definitely includes regular spa visits.
Since its inception in 2004, Spa Week Media Group has lead the way in connecting consumers with the powerful and life-changing benefits of the spa with its spring and fall events'affordable $50 spa and wellness treatments. According to the International Spa Association, 72% of spa goers in the past year said their stress levels influenced their decision to visit a spa. With consumers becoming increasingly more health (and budget) conscious, spas have experienced a major shift from being portrayed as places of pampering to healing sanctuaries for body and mind for millions of people. Spa Week, the country's leading and most reputable Spa Marketing Event, has successfully manifested the connection of health and spa to the masses for almost a decade by heavily discounting costly spa and wellness services on the grand scale.
Moving into its 19th installation, Spa Week's fall 2013 event will take place from October 14th – 20th when hundreds of spas (day, medical and resort), yoga and Pilates studios, and fitness and wellness centers will offer up to three signature treatments for just $50 each. Featured services are valued at anywhere from $100 to $500. Holistic healing and natural therapies including Ayurveda have been used for centuries to help counter the effects of stress and better overall health and well-being. Now, with the majority of spa patrons seeking stress relief, such practices have gone mainstream and are being offered by the most prestigious wellness facilities and local day spas alike. Look no further than the Spa Week menu to find hundreds of these detoxifying, relaxing and renewing services, all at an affordable cost. With endless treatment options to choose from, Spa Week provides a way for everyone to find calm and a sense of balance all while keeping their fear of overspending at bay.
In order to receive exclusive information on participating spas and wellness locations and their $50 services, consumers should register on SpaWeek.com as early as possible. The complete directory will launch on September 16th to allow spa-goers to begin booking their most desired services in advance. Visitors to SpaWeek.com also have the opportunity to give the gift of wellness by conveniently purchasing the Spa & Wellness Gift Card by Spa Week® on SpaWeek.com. Accepted at over 7,500 spas and wellness locations across North America and never expire, Spa & Wellness Gift Cards may be used during Spa Week or any time of the year. Recipients will have the freedom to choose from thousands of locations and services, all while knowing that you have their long-term health and happiness in mind.
While the economy still struggles to repair itself, many people are taking their health and well-being into their own hands and this includes seeking medical, emotional and even spiritual relief from the spa community. Equipped to embrace consumers' needs, spas and wellness locations are rolling out newer and more innovative services than ever before, especially those that help combat the perils of stress and stress-induced maladies. Thanks to Spa Week's spring and fall events, consumers have the comfort of knowing that they have "spas on their side" to help improve and maintain their health, well-being and happiness, now and in the future.
Spa Week was created and founded by Cheryl Reid who hails from successful careers within the luxury spa industry and publishing spheres. Joining Spa Week for the fall 2013 event, sponsors include:
Exclusive National Media Sponsor: Health Magazine; Exclusive Trade Association Partner: ISPA; Exclusive Destination Sponsor: Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism and introducing Exclusive Lifestyle Sponsor: FabFitFun. Spa Week is co-sponsored by CEW and a portion of the proceeds from the spring and fall events are donated to CancerAndCareers.org.

Dermalogica's Nonprofit FITE Participates in Mandela Day
Dermalogica is committed to expanding global opportunities for women. In 2010 the company's co-founder, Jane Wurwand, launched the FITE (Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship) initiative to help woman start or grow their businesses. To help further this mission of empowering women, FITE recently engaged costumers, skin care professionals and employees with a day of activities to honor Mandela Day.
On July 18th, 2013, FITE celebrated the legacy of human rights champion Nelson Mandela by partnering with two organizations based out of Cape Town, South Africa. Project Ignition creates opportunities for young females in underprivileged communities between the ages of 14-25 by offering them tools for community leadership. These Numbers Have Faces provides scholarships to help young people in need of assistance on their path to obtaining a higher education. This year, FITE will sponsor scholarships for three women in Cape Town, South Africa. The scholarship recipients will, in turn, each participate in helping their communities through volunteer work, leadership and financial literacy trainings, and a commitment to "pay it forward" by helping another student complete the program.
Dermalogica's concept spaces in Santa Monica, CA, Manhattan, NY and Scottsdale, AZ participated in Mandela Day by distributing $25 Kiva gift cards and encouraging consumers to visit Kiva.org to direct a free loan to an entrepreneur of their choosing. Dermalogica employees nationwide contributed to the first FITE Impact Day by writing postcards of support and encouragement to the girls participating in Project Ignition's leadership programs.

CHASKA, Minn. - A district-wide lockdown in the Eastern Carver County Schools triggered by an as-yet unspecified threat has beenpartiallylifted as of 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Chaska High School first reported on its Twitter account that the schoolwas being placed in precautionary lockdown, buseswere being diverted and students arriving at school would be sent home until the situation is deemed safe.
Those already in the building were sent to classrooms where the doors were locked and the lights turned off.
Soon after Chaska High School was placed in lockdown, nearby Pioneer Ridge Middle School and Victoria Elementary also began lockdown procedures.
A statement was posted on the high school's website around 8:30 a.m. It reads:
Chaska High School administration received a threat this morning, we have taken it seriously an are now working with police. As a precaution the school is in lockdown for students and staff that were in the building. Buses have been diverted. Everyone is OK. Entrances are closed until we end the lockdown. Students and staff should wait at home or offsite until further notice. We will provide updates to families and students via schoola nd district websites and our social media: chs.district112.org @chaskahawks
Natalie Salden was one of many concerned parents who flocked to a parking lot near the high school after hearing about the situation. "Initially it was really scary when I got that text," Salden told KARE 11's Bryan Piatt. "I had to read it three times. A wave of nausea came over."
Salden said she just wanted to be there and give her freshman daughter a hug after what sounded like a frightening experience. "She was getting out of a student council meeting,she was there early this morning, and over the loudspeaker they said 'attention students and staff, we are going into lockdown, this is not a drill,I repeat, this is not a drill, find a classroom.'"
Salden's daughter and a number of other students ran into the band room and locked the doors, remaininginside for nearly two hours.
Because of the disruption caused by the emergency response, a decision was made to close Chaska High School for the remainder of the day. Internal lockdown measures will remain in place until noon at all other Eastern Carver County Public Schools.

Built-in Wi-Fi® allows you to wirelessly share your images and video through CANON iMAGE GATEWAY*; on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube or send to a PC. Upload virtually anywhere on your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch® device with the free Canon Movie Uploader app, and enjoy wireless viewing on your DLNA compatible TV or through other DLNA devices.
*CANON iMAGE GATEWAY Online Photo Album available starting February 14, 2012. One-time registration is required. To use CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, a camcorder firmware update (Version 184.108.40.206) and Canon CameraWindow software update (Version. 8.8) is required.
You won't miss any of the action when shooting video with the VIXIA HF R32 camcorder. The camcorder's wide-angle area has been expanded to 33.9mm (35mm equivalent), making complex scenes easier to shoot and adding more image to all your footage. Like every Canon camcorder, the VIXIA HF R32 is equipped with a Genuine Canon HD Video Lens. Canon's high definition video lenses use aspherical lens technology to achieve low chromatic aberration with high resolution while maintaining compact dimensions. Super spectra coating technology lowers flare and ghosting. The big news is the camcorder's impressive 51x Advanced Zoom. Long-range shooting allows you to create videos with dynamic variety, and is less likely to disrupt the action you're shooting. It's perfect for formal ceremonies, animals in the wild, candid family videos and more. Advanced Zoom, available in manual mode, has been achieved with more efficient use of the effective imaging area. It takes the camcorder's telephoto power all the way to 1,729mm (35mm equivalent) for extraordinary flexibility in shooting.
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization
High definition video demands effective image stabilization, and the VIXIA HF R32's super powerful zoom makes the need for image stabilization even more critical. Canon developed its sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer to do the job easily and automatically, providing continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad range of motion. Extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate the unwanted shaking that is common when walking. The system corrects camera shake instantly, so even when you're shooting handheld video at the long end of the zoom, the image is sharp, steady and smooth.

OREM - Alvin J. Gauio, aka Big Al, beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Alvin J. Gaudio, age 80, passed away March 2, 2004 in Orem.
He was born June 1, 1923 in Provo, to Luigi and Lavina Gaudio.
Al married Alice Crawford in 1941, later divorced. He later married Jeanne Hersom July 29, 1975 in Hawaii. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Mount Timpanogos LDS Temple in October 1996.
After graduating from Provo High in 1941, Al moved to California to study shoe repair.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1943 through 1946. He moved to Provo and began working for Geneva Steel.
In 1953, he started working for the BSA and moved to Price. He remained in Price until 1963, when he was offered a position with the BSA in Orange County, Calif.
The family moved to Orem in 1977, where they purchased Vern's Beehive, renaming it Big Al's Boot and Shoe Repair.
The shop was in operation for 20 years. The second floor of the business served as a BSA museum.
Al retired from the shoe repair business in 1997. He was an honorary lifetime member of the Provo Timp Lions Club which sponsors Troop 717, a special needs troop.
Al and Jeanne have provided more than a century of service to the BSA.
Al is survived by his wife of 29 years, Jeanne; children, Michael (Sharon) Gaudio, Manteca, Calif.; Larry (Donna) Gaudio, Spanish Fork; Alice (James) Gollwitzer, Provo; David (Paula) Gaudio, Buena Park, Calif.; Gino Gaudio, Provo; stepchildren, Ray (Karen) Hersom, Orange, Calif.; Jeff Hersom, Sandy; and Chelley (Marty) Hunsaker, Payson; 27 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.

CASTLE DALE - Kelley Hansen was born Nov. 10, 1957 and grew up in Price, Hurricane and Moab with his four brothers, Kevin, Kim, Kolynn and Kirk and parents, Calvin Hansen and Shirley Morley.
He greatfully served an LDS mission in 1978 and married his sweetheart, Lisa Borget, in the Jordan River LDS Temple.
The greatest achievement together has been their children Kira, 15; K.C 13; and Kyler, 8. They have lived in the Castle Dale area where Kelley has been employed in the mines.
Kelley Hansen's life was not about his disease, even though it took all that he had not to be consumed by it for the past five years.
Kelley dearly loved his wife's parents, Dave and Darlene Borget; stepfather, Ferr Black-burn; grandmother, Rose Marley; and the many other supportive family and friends who have blessed his life in numerous ways and who anxiously await their reunion with him. Kim preceded him in death in 1969.

I've read the topic of whether or not God discriminates between Jews and non-Jews, but does God love non-Jews? Does it say anywhere that He does love non-Jews. I don't believe that God hates non-Jews or that Jews should hate non-Jews. I ask because someone is putting these questions to me and I am not sure how to answer all of them.
The Talmud in Megila (10b) relates: When the Egyptians were drowning in the sea, the angels wanted to sing God's praises. God silenced them, saying "My handiwork is drowning in the sea, and you want to sing?" This strongly implies that God loves all of His creations.
It is written in Gen 6:8.
My translation: And Noach was liked by God.
So we see that non-Jews that obey the laws are liked by God.
I think this answers the question, in that God wouldn't offer salvation to those He does not love.
That His generosity is universal and His kindness is all-embracing, as written "The L-ord is good to all, and His mercies are on all His works" (Tehilim 145:9) (duties of the heart - Gate of Trust ch.2)
I have learned with my rabbi that Gd's loving us is not an emotional experience for Him, as that would imply that he is by some chemical process or internal compulsion made to feel, which is in and of itself a physical construct and is inapplicable to Him, who is the prime cause of everything. Rather, Gd 'loves', (and expresses emotions in general), by way of his actions, and we ascribe emotion to his actions in order to understand His behavior in our minds
Organized society, generally speaking, functions well. There are many good-natured people in the world who enjoy healthy happy lives with their families and loved ones. It would seem that Gd absolutely loves them!

|Jamal Lewis races for first base during last week's Dino home game against the Emery Spartans. With two regular season games behind them, the Carbon ball club sits at 2-0 and is expected to be a Region 8 powerhouse this year.
The baseball season is officially underway and the Carbon Dinos are off to a good start. Following Tuesday's 11-1 victory over the Lehi Pioneers, the Dinos find themselves at 2-0 for the season.
The Dinos realize that the season is early and a lot can happen in the next several weeks, but the team also realizes that they have the talent to be a front runner in the Region 8 standings this year.
Against Lehi, the Dinos came out strong and held on tight to take care of business.
Pitching for the Dinos was senior, Jamal Lewis who according to coach Lane Herrick had a great game.
"Jamal did a great job for us. He really stepped up on defense to give us an advantage over Lehi," explained Herrick.
Lewis held Lehi to only one run in five innings while chalking up four strike outs against the Region 8 squad.
Herrick explained that the win was a complete team effort and that he was most satisfied with his teams hitting performance during the road game.
"The kids came out hitting the ball well. We have had athletes who have not quite reached their potential so far, but in the Lehi game I think a lot of these kids came around and played good for us," Herrick explained.
Herrick continued by explaining that senior, Jeff Jorgensen finished the game 4-4 at bat.
Jorgensen was also successful at stealing four bases during the early season game.
Also stepping up for the Dinos was Franky Iriart who had several big hits for the Carbon team.
"Our entire game is really coming around. The offense really got better against the Pioneers. The back-to-back wins really gives us something to build on," commented Herrick.
Next on the Dino's schedule is North Sanpete who will be in town this Friday afternoon. According to Herrick, this might be the toughest game of the season thus far and possible the most difficult of the year.
"North Sanpete is a good team and I think that they will put up a good fight. I also think that Delta will be another team that we will have to step up to defeat and we will play them next week on their home field," concluded Herrick.
With two quick wins under their belt, the Dinos look forward to a season which is thought by many to be the year of the big blue Dino.

Once that list is compiled, we vet the list, narrow it down to about 150 women who we feel are most deserving, and then submit the list to 20 of their peers — female leaders from a variety or industries — and ask them to vote. If they want to vote for someone whose name is not on the list of those submitted for consideration, voters are invited to write in the names of women who they think deserve to members of this exclusive club.
Az Business also does not allow a woman to appear on the list most than once.

Average speed is computed so that average speed = total distance / total time. This means that if you go up a hill, which takes a long time, your average speed drops. This isn't regained on the downhill, since going down takes so much less time.
If you compute the average over distance instead (i.e., your speed every tenth of a mile), the uphill and downhill are equally weighted, since they have the same number of samples. This means that your average is closer to what your speed would be on flat ground.
Your speed over flat ground seems more important to me. It doesn't depend on how hilly your route is, and that way you could compare cyclists more easily. Why don't we compute the average speed over distance instead?

Information anzuwenden auf: Produkts Panda for DesktopsPanda for File Servers (Windows)What is the 'cloud'?Cloud computing is a technology that allows services to be offered across the Internet. To this effect, the term 'the cloud' is used as a metaphor for the Internet in IT circles. Panda Security for Desktops and Panda Security for File Servers are served from the cloud, connecting to Collective Intelligence servers to protect your computer at all times, increasing the detection capacity and not interfering with the performance of the computer.What is Collective Intelligence?Collective Intelligence is a security platform created by Panda Security, offering high-level protection in real time, exponentially increasing the detection capacity of Panda Security for Desktops and Panda Security for File Servers.How did detection work before Collective Intelligence?Previously, laboratories received malware samples (new viruses, worms or Trojans) and technicians manually analyzed them before creating the corresponding vaccine. Once published across the Internet, users could download the vaccine to their signature files in order to ensure protection against the new threat.This model ceased to become useful once Panda Security laboratories went from receiving 100 samples a day to 50,000. This would require a whole army of technicians working against the clock to analyze all the new examples of malware received.How does detection with Collective Intelligence work?Collective Intelligence consists of servers that automatically classify and process all the information that the user community provides about detections that occurred on their computers.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The William and Mary women's basketball team defeated Virginia Union, 78-44, on Wednesday night at Kaplan Arena. Behind a defensive effort that forced 36 turnovers and tied a school-record with 21 steals, the Tribe earned its first victory of the season. For the year, W&M improves its record to 1-2, while the Panthers fall to 0-3.
Sophomore Kyla Kerstetter filled up the stat sheet with a career-high 14 points, eight steals, and a career-best six assists. The Brentwood, Tenn., native's eight steals are tied for second most in a single-game in program history. Senior Janine Aldridge poured in a game-high 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting from the field, while classmate Emily Correal netted 13 points and six rebounds. Additionally, Junior Kaitlyn Mathieu scored nine points and pulled down a game-high eight rebounds, while senior Taylor Hilton and sophomore Jazmen Boone each tallied eight points, respectively.
The College shot 29-of-74 (39.2 percent) from the field, while it netted nine 3-pointers on 28 attempts (32.1 percent). Furthermore, W&M owned the advantage in points of off turnovers (35-15), second-chance points (18-8), fast break points (21-6) and bench points (35-17).
W&M jumped out to an early, 9-6, lead at the 15:22 mark as Aldridge initiated the scoring with a 3-pointer just 13 seconds into the contest. With 11:51 remaining in the half, the Green and Gold pushed its margin to 16-10 courtesy of Kerstetter, who reeled off nine consecutive points. Virginia Union answered with a run of its own and with 9:57 left in the half the Panthers' Ashle Freeman tied the contest at 16-16 after netting a pair of free-throws.
The Tribe closed the opening stanza on a 24-7 run, which Hilton's trifecta sparked with 8:33 remaining. The onslaught continued as Mathieu extended the margin, 38-22, on a made jumper with 59 seconds remaining in the half. The Waterboro, Maine native closed W&M's first half scoring with another jumper as W&M commanded a 40-23 halftime advantage.
After intermission, the Green and Gold's lead ballooned to a 20-point margin, 47-27, when Boone stole a Panther inbounds pass and laid it in off the glass at the 14:57 juncture. Virginia Union attempted to cut into the W&M lead, 47-31, when Freeman netted a jumper at the 14:04 mark. However, the College's lead swelled again, 57-31, with 11:25 left to play after a 3-pointer by Kerstetter led to an ensuing Panther turnover in the backcourt, in which Boone went coast-to-coast for the lay in.
With 8:57 remaining in the game, sophomore MacKenzie Morrison pulled down an offensive rebound and preceded to net her first points of the season as W&M's lead grew to 63-33. The Tribe maintained the cushion, as its advantage peaked at 75-43 with 2:03 left in the contest, for its first victory of the season.
Ashle Freeman led Virginia Union with 13 points with nine coming from the foul line. Destiny Betts poured in 12 points for the Panthers, while Melyce Brown chipped in with six. The Panthers finished the night shooting 15-of-50 (30 percent) from the field, while tallying 14 free-throws on 21 attempts (66.7 percent).
The Tribe returns to action on Sunday, Nov. 18, when it travels to George Washington as it begins a seven-game road trip. Tip-off from Washington, D.C., is slated for 2 p.m.

The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter's 28-Day Save-Your-Life Plan That Lowers Cholesterol and Burns Away the Poundsby Rip Esselstyn
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"I've known Rip for more than 20 years. In that time, he's been a great motivator for so many people. This terrific book will inspire all who read it to change their lives and optimize their health." -Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor, seven-time Tour de France champion
Lose weight, lower cholesterol, significantly reduce the risk of disease, and become physically fit--in just 4 weeks.
Professional athlete-turned-firefighter Rip Esselstyn is used to responding to emergencies. So, when he learned that some of his fellow Engine 2 firefighters in
Medically approved, easy-to-follow, and amazingly effective, this diet is designed for anyone who wants to make heroic strides in his or her health, weight, and well-being-all without heroic effort.

When professional athlete-turned-firefighter Esselstyn learned that some of his fellow Engine 2 firefighters were in dire physical condition, he created a life-saving plan for the firehouse. "The Engine 2 Diet" is designed for anyone who wants to make heroic strides in his or her health.
As a fireman Rip Esselstyn has helped people and saved lives, but with his ENGINE 2 DIET plan he will help save lives on a much larger scale. A world-class professional triathlete-turned-fireman, as well as the son, grandson and great-grandson of renowned physicians, Rip Esselstyn knows how to live a healthy lifestyle. So, when he learned that one of his fellow Engine 2 firefighter's cholesterol level was dangerously high, he immediately went into action. First, he created THE ENGINE 2 DIET, a 28-day health and weight loss program. Next, he enlisted not only his at-risk friend, but the entire firehouse to follow the plan. Everyone lost weight (some more than 20 pounds ), lowered their cholesterol and improved their overall health. Encouraged, Rip went on to further prove the effectiveness of his plan through a citywide study--and the results were even more amazing In this easy-to-follow, 28-day program, readers are given a choice of two plans; the Fire Cadet Plan begins with a flexitarian approach to eating that includes a nutrient-rich, mostly plant-based diet featuring fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, some fish and chicken, and the other, the Firefighter Plan, is all plant-based. To ensure every reader's success, THE ENGINE 2 DIET also includes recipes, meal plans, grocery lists, cooking tips, and a firefighter-inspired exercise program to boost metabolism, build strength and endurance.
About the Author
Born in upstate New York, Rip Esselstyn grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and studied speech communciations at the University of Texas, Austin, where he was an All-American swimmer. After spending 10 years as a professional triathlete, Rip joined the Austin fire department in 1997. He now travels year-round lecturing and giving seminars on the Engine 2 lifestyle. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller The Engine 2 Diet. Visit his website at www.engine2diet.com.

He will oversee planning and implementation of events, marketing, fundraising and Tri-Centennial logistics for the Celebration year that begins with a kick-off event in November (an unveiling of the Natchitoches Legacy Art Project's beaded panel by Stephan Wanger).
He works under the direction of the executive committee (appointed by the Historic District Development Commission) and members of the Calendar of Events Committee.
"The Tricentennial Steering Committee is very pleased and excited to welcome Ron as the official Tricentennial Events Manger. His enthusiasm and experience are what we needed to plan a banner year for Natchitoches," said Cynthia Sutton, executive director of the Cane River National Heritage Area.
McBride is a retired professor of educational technology leadership in the College of Education and Human Development at Northwestern State University. He held the Melba Law Steeg Eminent Scholar Endowed Chair in Educational Technology Leadership.
During his tenure he directed the first distance learning program at the University, and was department head in Journalism. He returned to Louisiana to work at the Louisiana School For Math, Science and the Arts as part of its original faculty.
He received a grant to expand "Telelearning: Project Outreach," a project that delivered 13 high school classes to 140 rural schools in Louisiana, the forerunner to the Louisiana Virtual High School.
He began his career at Dalton College in Georgia, a unit of the University of Georgia System. He holds a Ph. D in Communications/ Instructional Media Management from Georgia State University.
When asked his motivation in taking the position, especially after retirement, he replied, "I recognized this as opportunity to not only assist the community that I love, but to help it become better known as a center for culture and history represented through its historic district, the Cane River Lake, the Cane River Heritage Area, the University, and displayed by the charm and beauty that is unique to Natchitoches." He continued, "The Tri-Centennial is an opportunity to showcase the city and Parish, while expanding tourism that will continue to impact Natchitoches for many years to come." "We are," he said, "Louisiana's first Tri-Centennial city and the oldest in Louisiana including the other states that comprise the Louisiana Purchase. It's a golden opportunity that will bring thousands to the city during Tri-Centennial year, and long after the celebration has ended."
McBride is active in the community and is a member and past-president of the Natchitoches Area Chamber of Commerce, the Natchitoches Rotary Club and the Natchitoches Northwestern Symphony Society.
The Tri-Centennial Celebration in Natchitoches begins in January and runs through December 2014.

One of the lightest high loft synthetic vests on the market. It is lightly insulated which is ideal for three season trips when heavier vest or jackets would be too warm to be practical. The combination of this vest, a heavy base layer, hat, and windshirt keeps me comfortable down to 20F.
No frills, just warmth. Not even much style, but it gets the job done. Other bonuses include snug armpit openings and a well-sized comfortable collar.
I've combined the Montbell U.L. ThermaWrap Inner Vest (only 5.2oz) with a Montbell Wind Blast Anorak while wearing a cotton T-shirt and cotton sweatshirt. Clearly with all that cotton (the "death fabric" as someone else called it in a Post a year or so ago), I wasn't doing any hiking. Only waiting outside to be picked up by a friend. Waited for approximately 20 minutes and alternated between sitting down on a bench and slowly walking around the parking lot in 26 deg weather - only my arms felt cold. The vest and Anorak kept my torso warm with no sensation whatsoever of coolness. I don't understand how an insulating garment as thin as the Thermawrap U.L. Inner Vest could have kept me as warm (not hot = no sweating while slowly walking) as it did.Also, the 15denier fabric with Montbell's "standard" DWR finish has a very nice feel to it. I wear a 40 extra-short suit (40 is the chest size, not the waist size); a size medium vest fits fine - it's very slightly snug over the sweatshirt/T-shirt combo mentioned above.The vest's zipper has yet to snag and is easy to operate. It's NOT the Montbell "hidden" zipper, and so, in my experience, operates much easier than the "hidden" style zipper - both initially engaging the two sides of the zipper and zipping/unzipping it.The collar has a nice "chameece" fleece lining - feels very nice on the neck.While I haven't needed it yet, i could imagine that some might desire more loft for more warmth. If this is the case, Montbell has another, somewhat similar vest, just called an "05 Thermawrap Vest" without the "U.L." designation of this vest. To my mind however, if it's cold enough for more loft in a vest, then my arms would be too cold, so i'd opt for an inner jacket instead of the vest. Furthermore, accepting this vest vs. jacket observation and considering the warmth that this vest's synthetic insulation provides, as well as its 5.2 oz weight, i wonder why i would ever use a more expensive down vest?My naive guess is that the "inner" designation, besides indicating that the vest is normally worn under another garment (e.g. an uninsulated shell), might, in part, have something to do with the very delicate 15 denier fabric that the vest is made from, but that's just a guess on my part. I always wear a windshell/jacket over it to protect the delicate material the vest is made from.Since it's an "inner" vest, it has no pockets. Worn/Used as intended, pockets, if it had them, would be inaccessible. Even though it's an "inner" vest, it is treated with a "standard" DWR (?? perhaps just in case a windshell/jacket wets through???).At this point, this vest gets a 5. Just on principle, if decimal scores were permitted, i'd give it a 4.9 since there is always room for improvement. However, having said that, i can't offer any suggestion as to how this vest could be improved.Note: if i've created more questions than i've answered with this review, Post to Forums and i'll reply to it.

Need I say more?The stitching is excellent. It packs down tiny and allows me to take significant insulation for no weight or space penalty.MontBell sizing can be a little funky, so be careful. My Medium vest fits much snugger than my Medium jacket. (great for layering them though).It just doesn't get much lighter or smaller folks. Wish the price point would creep down a bit, hard to find them on sale.
Rating: 4 / 5
I know there's a fashion for 1/2 length zips but I like the full length one on this.The insulation could have been stitched in place through the lining only and it could be warmer but some how I really love this item. Packs down smaller, weighs less and looks nicer than the Paty Micro Puff Vest.
I've owned the Montbell Thermawrap UL Vest for 3 seasons now, and like many folks I puchased it to save weight. I originally carried a fleece vest that had trustily served me for many years, so I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised at the way this vest has surpassed my expectations. I used this vest on New Years Day of 2006 to do the rollercoaster section of the AT and when paired with a midweight Capilene base layer it easily handled the 20 degree temps I started with in the morning. As the temperatures creeped into the 30's by midday, all that was required was to ventilate via the full front zip. I found that if I am inattentive (lazy?) during heavy exertion I never felt more than slightly clammy, but that was quickly remedied by adjusting the front zip. The UL Vest has completely replaced my old vest and I look forward to getting the UL Jacket next.

The Thermawrap vest has been an excellent addition to my summer, late spring, and early fall gear list. It weighs under 5.5 oz, provides some extra warmth when the temps. fall into the fifties (when nothing is too cool and a synthetic jacket would be too much). The Exceloft is quite compressible yet warm for the weight. The shell fabric can shrug off a light drizzle for a few minutes but is not as water-resistant as many other fabrics. I really like how it is stripped to the bare essentials besides for having handwarmer pockets (they are well-placed and provide a nice boost of warmth for the hands). I appreciate how Montbell keeps their UL gear simple. One word of caution (this is why it ranks a four from me): this garment's fit is odd. I have a 37.5" chest and wear smalls in most shirt companies' offerings, however the medium Thermawrap vest is just big enough for me to fit into without compressing the insulation. I could certainly not wear it over more than just a light base layer. Despite the snug fit, the arm holes are overly large. My arms are pretty skinny (I am 5'10, 150), yet cool air can work its way into the vest. To earn a five and be truly excellent, Montbell needs to align the torso size and arm hole size. This would increase the efficiency of the garment.Despite the sizing issue, I really love this vest. The other Montbell insulation piece I have (a UL Down Inner jacket) fits more appropriately so perhaps they will figure this out in the update. The warmth it provides for cool evenings and mornings is well worth the 5.5 oz. "burden." It is one of the most important pieces I own.
My Thermawrap vest has become a solid addition and I've found I've been able to use it to bolster my cold weather gear and well as use it for a light insulating layer in milder temps. My Thermawrap vest in large weighs 5.85 oz. and fits perfectly underneath my large MB Down Inner Parka. These two together (and a 200g wool baselayer) have taken me down to 18 degrees F around camp and while sleeping in a 32degreeF bag. I've also used it on that first cold morning mile to warm myself up for the rest of the hike.If you can find it on sale, it makes it an even better buy. Great vest!
I have a size medium Thermawrap jacket and a size large Thermawrap vest; I probably should have reversed those to be able to layer the vest under the jacket rather than over, but it actually works fine this way too.I bought the vest to augment the jacket in the Sierras on a 2008 PCT thru-hike, but almost never used it as the jacket was warm enough. I used the vest more this year thru-hiking the AT given an early start --- initially I coupled the vest with a Montbell Alpinelite down parka. The latter is so much more "beefy" insulation that the vest was a bit superfluous, but it nevertheless did help and in particular it was useful when walking in a lot of very cold wind and snow, layered over my windshirt.Normally I can't walk with any sort of insulation layer on (I get too warm) but in these conditions the vest was a great layer option to be able to put on and take off.I've never been much of a fan of vests before, but this is a great piece of gear to flexibly add targeted warmth to whatever else I'm carrying on a given trip.
This is the single most versatile piece of gear that I own. As a very active outdoorsperson who lives in the mountains with a second home in the far north by the sea, and who backpacks, day hikes, xc skis, snowshoes, road and mountain bikes, and winter mountaineers, this is with me, either on or in my pack, even more than my Houdini. It provides just enough, in fact a surprising amount considering it light weight, core warmth. I wear it in cool weather biking in the spring and fall beneath a wind shell, a set up which also works well for above tree-line even in the summer when a shell just isn't enough to defend against the cooling wind. It provides just enough warmth for summer eves. I especially like it in the cold weather, when worn under my ultra-light down puffy or my Thermawrap jacket or my softshell. Though the fabric is very light, and though I wear this vest sometimes four or five days a week, I have not had one tear or one seam give way. Though not as warm as my several down vests, this is significantly lighter than any of them and twice or three times lighter than my fleece vests. These other vests did not come off their hangers once in the last year, when I got outdoors for 1-3 hours minimum four or five days a week.
