text: Mayor Sets Strategy to End 'Epidemic' of Traffic Fatalities by Chester Soria, Jan 15, 2014 Twitter New York City will immediately begin using traffic cameras to ticket speeders — a move spearheading Mayor Bill de Blasio's strategy to reduce traffic-related fatalities."We think that there's an epidemic here. There's an epidemic of traffic fatalities, and it can't go on," the mayor said yesterday in announcing the creation of a task force charged with developing a plan to make city streets safer."The first obligation of government is to protect the health and safety of our people. And this is an area in which we simply have to do better," he said, noting the relevance of the announcment two weeks into his administration.Seven pedestrians were killed in the past two weeks in traffic accidents. In the past ten years, 1,766 people have died in traffic accidents in the city.The issue prompted local families and activists to push the new administration to adopt "Vision Zero," a comprehensive plan to reduce and eventually eliminate injury and death by traffic incidents.De Blasio is assembling an interagency task force with representatives from the New York Police Department, Department of Transportation, Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Taxi & Limousine Commission. He set a Feb. 15 deadline for the group to generate a plan incorporating additional police resources, intersection improvements and the beginnings of a traffic safety legislative agenda — which would include a push on Albany to allow the city to deploy its own traffic camera initiatives.Two of the agencies involved in the group, however, are still technically awaiting the mayor to make appointments to their top positions. Thomas Farley, appointed by Bloomberg in 2008, continues to oversee the Department of Health after de Blasio asked him and a handful of other Bloomberg-era appointees to stay. De Blasio did not ask former Taxi & Limousine Commission chief David Yassky to stay, leaving the agency to TLC Chief Operating Officer Conan Freud. A spokesman for de Blasio did not immediately respond to questions on whether the lack of appointments to either agency will affect the task force and its month-long deadline.The mayor made the announcement on the playgrounds of P.S. 152 in Queens, a block from where 8-year-old Noshat Nahian was struck and killed by an unlicensed truck driver. The accident occurred as boy crossed a six-lane boulevard on the way to school with his younger sister.Nargish Begum, Nahian's mother, stood silently by the podium, clutching a picture of her son close to her chest. She wiped away tears with her headscarf as de Blasio spoke about her son. Nahian's sister was still in class during the early afternoon event on school grounds."I'm very happy," Begum said about the mayor's initiative as she held back tears.In addition to using recently installed cameras to issue tickets to enforce speed limits across the city, the NYPD will also begin to shift personnel towards its highway division, with the goal of increasing it to 270 officers."A life lost is a life lost, whether by murder or by traffic accident," said Police Commissioner Bill Bratton. "And the department is committed to every way, shape and form reducing the loss of life." The task force will focus specifically on developing a plan to improve safety conditions for at least 50 intersections, increase the number of 20 m.p.h. zones around the city and devote more police resources to address speeding and pedestrian behavior. De Blasio said he is also committed to challenge Albany to allow the city to govern itself on traffic issues, exerting home rule on traffic cameras — currently under the state Legislature's realm."My hope is, on the legislative agenda we're discussing here, that it will be quickly embraced by all elements in Albany and we can act on it quickly," de Blasio said.

Levocetirizine Plus Bed-Time Hydroxyzine in the Management of Corticodependent Chronic Urticaria Versus Levocetirizine Alone in High Doses (LevoHydroxy)

- How to Read a Study Record
Allen Kaplan is a prominent American allergist with the reputation of leader in the field of chronic urticaria. He advocates treatment with first generation hydroxyzine, which he considers at least as effective as modern second generation H1-blockers in suppressing the symptoms of difficult-to-treat / systemic-steroid-dependant cases of chronic urticaria. He further speculates that hydroxyzine may have the advantage to better suppress itch and improve nighttime sleep. This has prompted many practitioners around the world to believe that adding hydroxyzine to the treatment regimen at bed time at night may be beneficial to patients. At the same time European guidelines indicate modern second generation H1-blockers in higher than conventional doses as drugs of choice for such cases. However, there is no evidence from clinical trials addressing this controversy. The investigators' previous studies suggest that levocetirizine at quadruple doses may be beneficial in difficult to treat urticaria by reducing lesions and itch, improving quality of life and night time sleep, while not causing day time somnolence. First generation H1-receptor antagonists and hydroxyzine among them are known to penetrate the blood / brain barrier and to cause sedation. The question stays whether this sedation is beneficial to the subjects with chronic urticaria at night, whether it has any hang-over unwanted effects the following day and whether this has any influence on the overall urticaria-specific quality of life.

Detailed Description:
Study design:
The study will involve two distinct parts (flow chart):
- In-hospital assessment of effectiveness and tolerability of 10 & 20 mg levocetirizine vs. 100 & 200 mg hydroxyzine in subjects to be weaned off corticosteroid treatment.
- Subsequent ambulatory treatment of the same patients with 20 mg levocetirizine alone and 15 mg levocetirizine + 50 hydroxyzine at night
Protocol description Patients with chronic urticaria treated with systemic steroids are traditionally admitted to the Clinic of Allergy and Asthma in Sofia to try to wean them off this class of drugs. Hospitalized patients will be invited to take part in the study and will sign an informed consent. They will be assessed by standard questionnaire and by objective assessment of the urticarial lesions, QoLQ will be filled in, discomfort due to urticaria, day time somnolence and night time sleep quality will be assessed on a visual analogue scale. Systemic steroids will be withheld and patients would be given 10 mg levocetirizine on Days 1 & 2; after a new assessment of quality of night time sleep and day time somnolence, 100 mg hydroxyzine will be given on Days 3 & 4. The cycle will be repeated on Days 5 & 6 and Days 7 & 8 with 20 mg levocetirizine and 200 hydroxyzine respectively. At this point patients will be discharged and randomized to two treatment arms: levocetirizine 20 mg per day and levocetirizine 15 mg + hydroxyzine 50 mg as evening dose for 5 days. Diaries will be given to patients for assessment of daily SS, day time somnolence score, quality of night time sleep, facial tissue swelling, rescue medication with oral prednisolone, adverse events, intake of any other medications. After 5 days the patients from arm 1 and 2 will be crossed over to the alternative treatment. QoLQ questionnaire will be filled out at onset, at cross over (day 5) and at the end of the 10 day treatment period. On completion of the study subjects will be asked to state there preference for one treatment or the other.

|This is a great adventure and a great place to climb. However check out the routes first. A bolt has a short life expectancy, and you could be climbing on what looks like a perfectly good bolted route where the bolts' holding power amounts to a small RP. There is a local climbing shop were you can rent gear and get beta on routes. Don't think that in such a remote place you will be alone. When we were there the place was packed with Europeans and we stayed in Ao Nang. If you are planning on going, email me and I will provide as much beta as possible (i.e. where we made mistakes and where we discovered some real fun.)

No offense to Clay for his comment or Wee for his book, I'm sure its great, BUT...
Buy Sam's book. Even if its in addition to Wee's BUY IT. Railey needs ALOT of new bolts and 100% of the proceeds of the book goes into new bolting. And from what I've seen, Sam is NO slacker, he spends damn near all of his vacation rebolting many, many climbs so we can all have a safe vacation.

Water refill spots in Tonsai! Cheap and less waste.
I've been going between Krabi Town (where I'm living) and Tonsai on the weekends. In doing so I have figured out a few things to lessen waste build up here, especially those damn water bottles!
1) Bring some tupperware. You can buy it anywhere. There are a million plastic shops in SE Asia.
2) Simply put, reuse the plastic bag. No big deal. How many times do you need a plastic bag in a plastic bag, in another plastic bag?
3) Most importantly, refill your water! You can refill your water bottles at three places in Tonsai.
A) Saithong Resort. Top of the jungle trail on the Tonsai side is a bungalow/camping place (a truck with plants in the back parked in front). They sell the LARGE, 5 gallons, bottles. You will use it all so you may as well buy it. To purchase a bottle it's about 100 Baht. Plus 60 Baht for the water inside. Every time you need more water just bring your empty one and they will swap it out for a filled one, 60 Baht every time. Catching them in the evening is better. Around 5-6pm. Much cheaper and environmentally healthy this way.
B) Backyard Cafe.The hippie spot on the left at the bottom of the jungle trail that connects Raillay and Tonsai. It's a nice breakfast/chill spot and they will refill any of your smaller jugs. It ranges from 10-50 Baht.
C)Jungle Hut Laundry Across from Mountain View Resort
One Place to refill water, eat delicious (semi-organic no MSG) Indian food and they have yoga in the mornings is Utopia. You go by it if walking towards Diamond Wall (Highland Coffee). Say "hi!" to Georgia for me. She is the owner. This is also a great place to watch Dusky Langurs eat Mangos and play in the trees.
In conclusion, cheaper water + less bottle waste = happier Tonsai community!

The 'haute couture' city of Milan is one of Italy's wealthiest cities. Wide boulevards will give you a sample of its riches.
The most important building in the city is the Duomo, with its 135 turrets. This cathedral is 160 metres long and 92 metres wide and has a cross on each tower. The construction of the cathedral was a huge undertaking, which took about 500 years.
Castello Sforzesco, a Renaissance castle with a magnificent peaceful park, is also worth a visit. You also go to Milan to shop, of course, since it is not known as Europe's city of fashion for nothing. Versace, Armani, Gucci and other major designers have their headquarters in Milan.
The World Expo is organized every five years. This year's World Expo will take place in the beautiful European city of Milan, Italy, from 1 May through 31 October, 2015. Expo Milano has chosen the theme "Feeding the planet, energy for life". 145 countries will exhibit to support the theme in showing their next technologies and hence giving concrete answers to a vital worldwide need: being able to guarantee healthy, safe and sufficient food for everyone, while respecting the planet and its equilibrium. Attend this international event together with over 20 million visitors.

ZCars Hayabusa Mini (LHD)
Available to view at ZCars. Contact us for details.
This car is one of the best Mini Car conversions ever carried out by ZCars...
Built completely by ZCars for a discerning customer 5 years ago it has had the best of everything professionally fitted. Since then it has only covered 2100 miles. It now has to be sold.
Do not be deceived by some surface corrosion from some outside storage it is truly one of the most awesome cars you will ever experience. It is just waiting for some TLC to restore it to its full glory.
As you will see from the Honda 2.4 Vtec all steel engine specifications it was always built to take full supercharger or turbocharger power hence the roof panel waiting for the new air inlets.
That is still an option for whoever takes it on...

Is a new big Jewish foundation on the rise?
That the Tikvah Fund gave a $4.5 million grant to Princeton University could be a fairly significant development – if it means that there is another big Jewish foundation on the block.

"More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones."
St. Theresa of Avila (+1582)
"More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones."
St. Theresa of Avila (+1582)
Gives one a lot to think about.
What is the context, Father? Is it that there are more tears of joy shed, or is a caution to be careful what one prays for? (Which doesn't quite seem right, because Our Father wouldn't give us snakes or stones.)
Perhaps it means that when we receive wholesome things, we rather grieve that we didn't receive excess or an object of unwholesome desire.
In short, because we are sometimes so blinded, that we would prefer to have snakes and stones.
This reminds me of the country music song that states "Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers". Sometimes we pray for things that we think are good, but later we can realize how wise God was in telling us "No".
(But I'm not sure why *answered* prayers would cause tears…)
But I thought ALL prayers are answered – God just sometimes says "no".
I asked Our Lord to teach me how to be frugal because I tend to waste money. Now it turns out we need extensive repairs on the house which are mind boggling expensive. So, I am going to be forced to be frugal, cutting out everything in the budget that is not absolutely necessary. So, I guess I had my prayer answered and yes, there have been tears.
California Girl,
Garth Brooks must be a Teresa of Avila devotee.
Sometimes the answers are rather hard to take even when we know God has our best interests in mind.
God gives me what I need – which is not the same as giving me what I want.
Tough to know what St. Teresa meant without seeing this in its entire context. Perhaps she is alluding to things that people pray for which are no good for their spiritual well-being. They may receive what they asked for, but not necessarily from God, which would put them on a path to personal ruin and their souls in mortal danger.
A few years ago, while committed to service in the Navy, I asked a priest to offer a Novena of Masses for the intention of my early release from my commitment so that I could enter the seminary, if it be God's Will that I become a priest. A year later, I was diagnosed with brain cancer and was medically discharged from the Navy. I begin seminary in 3 weeks.
Some people say "be careful what you ask for," but I think God knows what is best for us, and answers our prayers in His time and according to His plans. His plans rarely coincide with our own, but He knows what is best for us! Now, I try to spend more time praying that my imperfect will be conformed to God's Perfect Will, no matter how hard or confusing His Will may be at the time. It will all eventually make sense.
God bless you, Philip. We can be confident that God knows what he's about even in the midst of our culture and the suffering in our families and personal lives.
I'll join you in that prayer of conforming to God's will. We can trust our loving Father.

Cracked Up
Defendant Cathy Lee received a 120-month sentence, the mandatory minimum, in a crack trafficking case. She raised on appeal a host of constitutional and statutory challenges to her sentence, claiming that it violated § 3535(a), the Eighth Amendment, and equal protection, in light of the powder-vs-crack sentencing disparities.
The court held that these claims were waived by the appellate waiver in Lee's plea agreement. Although such waivers will not be enforced when an "arguably unconstitutional" consideration influenced the sentencing, there was no such consideration here. The equal protection argument with respect to crack sentences is a claim about the statute itself, not a claim that the court considered an improper factor at sentencing. Moreover, the court rejected the equal protection statutory argument nearly fifteen years ago, and no subsequent legal development - including Kimbrough - is a basis for changing this view.

Redlands Middle School students shot school board candidates some tough questions during a debate Wednesday.
Gary Miller and Diane Rice both of District A and Cindy Martinez from District B all lined up to answer questions from the middle school students. Questions posed to each candidate included state testing, school lunches, and current graduation requirements.
Ideas thrown on the table are a mentor program to curb the drop out rate, and the offering of more "life" classes to teach kids about the workforce and Credit Cards, and so much more.

When first announced, Tomb Raider caught my eye. From watching and being able to preview the game, I knew that Tomb Raider would be an awesome reboot. Luckily, I was correct, but I had no idea just how good it would be.
Putting you in control of a young Lara Croft aboard the ship Endurance, Lara who is keen to cut her teeth, you'll quickly find yourself ship wrecked with your friends and crew on a strange island in the Dragon's Triangle. Here you will be with foreign mercenaries that take you and your comrades hostage. Lara will have to think quickly to save her friends and then escape the island. Overall, the story is great. It has many twists and turns and unexpected plot moments, and it's great to see the progression of Lara Croft. Early in the game you'll be faced Lara having to kill her first man in self defense, it's a very emotional and important scene, but it is letdown with Lara dusting herself off and then slaughtering anything in her way. Scenes like this happen a lot, where Lara is forced to do something she clearly doesn't want to but has to in order to survive and the game makes a big moment of it, but then later you'll be doing that exact same thing many times. It hurts the believably of those particular scenes, but it would be impossible to design a game around Lara crying over every enemy she puts down.
Tomb Raider plays like a dream. Controlling Lara is easy and the combat is nice and fluid. As someone who is not a big fan of third person combat, Tomb Raider has done a very good job. As you're a young Lara Croft, the game spoon feeds you new and exciting gameplay mechanics that make exploring the island and combat even better. For example your very first weapon is a bow and arrow, after a few hours of play you should be set with fire arrows and the ability to create lines of rope that you can use to traverse the island. Whether you have to unlock items through story progression or through the RPG elements (which we'll talk about in a moment) built in, Tomb Raider does a nice job of not giving you everything at once.
Tomb Raider is also very rich in set pieces and the game is much better for it. In the first fifteen minutes of the game, Lara is kidnapped, hung upside down, impaled on a metal rebar and then slides down a waterfall in order to escape her captors. This pace keeps up for the majority of the game, but it doesn't ever feel too much. It adds a lot to the atmosphere of the game and they're great sequences to play. Some of my favourites were later in the game when Lara is running through a burning village, or swimming through a river of blood only to come out stained crimson. The set pieces are sometimes loaded with quick time events which could be their only negative aspect, I'm not a big fan of quick time events, but they are used well in Tomb Raider and they make sense to be there. The set pieces in Tomb Raider make it an unbelievably cinematic and immersive experience.
Built into the game is a great RPG element that allows you to upgrade Lara and her equipment. Whatever you do on the island from picking up collectible artifacts, killing enemies and progressing through the story you will receive XP points that go to unlocking an upgrade token. Once you have your upgrade token you can use it to unlock many things for Lara. You can upgrade her health, give her some more combat moves or more ammo capacity or just make it easier to find collectibles. It's a great system that allows players to customize to their playstyle, however it easy to obtain all the unlocks during the game as Tomb Raider lacks a New Game + mode.
Along your travels you will also find salvage that you can use to upgrade your weapons. Lara comes with a bow at first, she then finds a pistol, later on she'll find a sub machinegun and much later on a shotgun. It's balanced perfectly as you also have to find weapon parts, so you just can sit there and spend salvage on upgrading everything at once. For example with the pistol when you first find it you can upgrade the damage and the magazine, but much later during the game you can then equip a silencer and even more damage. It's like this for every weapon and it stops you from making a weapon over powered and using nothing but that. It allows the player to experiment with the weapons and upgrading system.
Tomb Raider looks amazing. The level of detail in the environments and in the characters (especially Lara) is great. Lara Croft starts off the game looking clean and ready for action, during the game however her image changes. She looks tired, scared and worried all while being filthy and bloody from the island and its challenges. The developers have done a great job at not only writing a tale that changes Lara Croft, they've done a great job showing the player how Lara changes. It adds a lot to the believably and immersion of Tomb Raider. Not be outdone the world itself also looks great. The island is split into sections with each providing a different environment. There are cave, mountain, beach and building sections that all look great. The cave environments stand out as you have to control Lara slowly explore the dim caves with a torch in hand. In short, developer Crystal Dynamics have made an excellent world to explore in and filled it with great characters.
The level of detail is also high in the sound department. The voice acting in Tomb Raider is of great quality. The performance from Camilla Luddington as Lara Croft is amazing! She is able to provide great detail to the character. Other voice work is great, but it takes a backseat to the amazing work of Camilla Luddington. Sound effects are also great and like the voice acting immerse you in the world. The presentation in Tomb Raider is nothing short of amazing.
Tomb Raider set out to be an origin story, to reboot the franchise and it has completed that goal above and beyond. As every origin story should it provides in amazing detail the changes of Lara Croft through her adventures. Tomb Raider appeals to everyone, fans of adventure games, fans of Lara Croft and fans of video games. This reboot is a must buy.

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Galway Estates.
Thursday, 26 July 1973
Dáil Eireann Debate
Mr. Hussey: asked the Minister for Lands why a person (name supplied) in Athenry, County Galway, was not considered entitled to an addition of land in the Murphy estate, Tiaquin, Colmanstown, Ballinasloe, County Galway.
Mr. Cooney: The selection of allottees is a matter that is exclusively reserved to the commissioners.
I am informed that an application by the person mentioned for portion of the Murphy estate at Tiaquin was fully considered in competition with other applications received but, having regard to the limited area available for disposal—58 acres—it was not found possible to provide him with an allotment.
Mr. Hussey: Would the Minister give an assurance that this applicant, whom I would consider to be a very worthy applicant, will be given favourable consideration for any land that becomes available in that area?
Mr. Cooney: The selection of allottees is a matter exclusively for the commissioners and I would not be in a position to give the undertaking the Deputy requests. I have no doubt that if, as he says, the person is a deserving applicant he will be considered in due course when further land becomes available.
Mr. Hussey: He is a very worthy applicant and that is the opinion of most of his neighbours.
Mr. Donnellan: Is the Minister aware that the individual referred to by Deputy Hussey is a small farmer with a small valuation and a large family who lives within a mile of the land that was divided? Would the Minister not think he was as much [2082] entitled to a share of this land as some of those who were successful?
Mr. Cooney: I have no information as to the situation of those who were successful. I am aware that this unsuccessful applicant is a small farmer but whether the Deputies are aware of it or not this man is not depending exclusively on agriculture for his livelihood. This perhaps, affected his position when he was being considered in competition with others. It is a matter exclusively for the commissioners.
Mr. Donnellan: What else does he do?
Mr. Cooney: He is a builder's labourer.
Mr. Donnellan: Part-time or full-time?
Mr. Hussey: It is not true to say he is employed regularly as a builder's labourer. He takes on part-time employment. Some of the successful applicants for land on this estate were not employed full-time in agriculture either. One in particular is a school bus driver whose wife is a teacher and he got an addition of land.
Mr. Cooney: I have no information as to the situation of those who were successful. It is a matter in law exclusively for the commissioners and the commissioners and their staff had to consider the various applicants in competition with each other. I have no doubt they take all factors into consideration, including family circumstances, and a very relevant fact would be the state of the holding of the person seeking land, the standard of husbandry displayed on it.
Mr. Donnellan: Would the Minister not agree that where an applicant has other employment, it should not bar him if he cannot live on the amount of land he has?
Mr. Cooney: I agree entirely that if a man's holding is not of sufficient size to maintain him he has to have other employment and I am not suggesting that the fact that this man is [2083] a builder's labourer is the factor that caused his application to be rejected. I am not saying that at all.
Mr. Hussey: asked the Minister for Lands if any efforts have been made by the Land Commission to acquire the Fahy and Forde estates, Knockbawn and Knockbrack, Athenry, County Galway.
Mr. Cooney: The Fahy holding is the subject of acquisition proceedings and negotiations on price are at present in progress. Proceedings have also been instituted for the acquisition of the Forde property and in default of agreement price has been fixed and published. The period allowed for lodging an appeal against price has not yet expired.
Mr. Hussey: asked the Minister for Lands when it is proposed to allot the Flanagan and Scanlon estates at Ballyglass, Ballymoe, County Galway.
Mr. Cooney: I understand the aim is to include these lands in the current year's allocation programme. An area of one acre, approximately, on the Scanlon holding has already been allotted to the Elphin Diocesan Trustees.
Mr. Callanan: asked the Minister for Lands when the Land Commission intend to take possession of the Glynn estate, Abbeyview, Kilconnell, County Galway.
Mr. Cooney: Proceedings for the compulsory acquisition of the property referred to are at the final stages and efforts are at present being made to obtain possession.
Mr. Callanan: Is the Minister aware that this has gone before the High Court before and the price has been fixed and there was to be a payment of £26,000 at 9½ per cent land bonds? Is he also aware that possession was to be given up on 2nd May and it was to be given up on 15th May and there is still no sign of it being given up?
[2084]Mr. Cooney: I am aware that there was an arrangement about possession at the beginning of May but title has not been cleared and the owner is not anxious to give possession until such time as title has been cleared. When title is cleared possession will then have to be given.
Mr. Callanan: Is the Minister not aware that if the owner is not anxious for title it will be very slow if the Land Commission do not get a High Court Order?
Mr. Cooney: The Land Commission are aware of this tactic. In this case I understand they are considering making an order under section 19 of the Land Act, 1927, which would overcome that diffiiculty.
Mr. Donnellan: The Land Commission are a slow body anyway.

Well, my dad is into hot rods, so im familiar with the work, but im not a rabid fan- enough to recognize a similarity, and thats about it. If you go too much into it, it might look like a rip-off, and i want to keep this original to you (or us).. but as you add more to the design, there wont be as much attention on this one piece here, so keep going with you original thread so fer and see what turns up.
#50 to #49 - mushizombie (09/29/2012) [-]
alright sounds good :) i just want to make sure you're happy with it lol
#51 to #50 - sevensixtwo (09/29/2012) [-]

Sol-Duc Falls
[ Click photo to enlarge ] | Add To "My Gallery" | Make this photo your desktop wallpaper
Ahh, Sol-Duc falls, almost died there… Good times, good times….
So, my wife and I decide, despite the rain / snow falling, we'd hike back to Sol-Duc falls and try to get some photos. Hmm, in retrospect maybe it was more like I'll try to get some photos, she'll try to stay dry.
The walk back was as good as the falls – talk about feeling like you were in a fairy tale! (You know, except for nearly freezing to death in the pouring rain.) As we approached the falls, we noticed a little shelter area that my wife made a mental note of (with permanent ink). So, we checked out the falls, I pulled out my camera, she went to the shelter. Fair enough.
So, I'm shooting away in the rain, the falls roaring in my ears, and my hands taking turns in and out of my pockets (wet hands + 33 degrees). Then I notice that maybe if I go across the fence there might be a better shot. So, I'm literally at the edge of the drop off when my wife SNEAKS up behind me and yells:
I just about jumped over the falls.
Now, she claims she didn't "sneak" or yell, but hey, that's how I remember it. Come to think of it, I seem to vaguely recall her checking my life insurance policy before we left, but I can't be clear on that part…
At any rate, after that I went back around and got this shot with a fence safely in front of me! I just couldn't resist those yellowish leaves and the way the water tumbled over. If you ever have the chance to hike it, this is one you'll never forget.
(And the shot that nearly killed me? It sucked well water.)
About Our Prints....
We currently sell both individual prints and completely framed and ready-to-hang prints. Our framed prints are professionally matted, mounted and framed.
Here's a sample of our basic mat and frame:
Framed prints purchased though us are generally a better deal than taking a loose print to your local frame shop since we have a pretty significant discount that we pass along to you. When you receive your print in the mail, it's ready to hang and even comes with the hardware for doing so.
Please note that if you'd like another type of print (canvas for example) or another frame style, we can certainly accommodate you, just use the contact us page and we'll customize the artwork to make it perfect for your home.
Our framed prints are guaranteed for as long as you own them against wear, fading, or deterioration. Loose prints are also guaranteed for as long as you own them provided you have them framed under glass using archival materials. We want you to LOVE your prints, so we offer a refund as long as the print or framed print is returned in like new condition within 30 days.
All prints are signed in one of the lower corners (usually the right hand corner).
Delivery time varies and depends on a number of factors, but we always strive to get your prints delivered to you as quickly as possible. I personally inspect each and every piece before it leaves our building. If I'm out of town taking more photos, it can cause a delay, but a good rule of thumb is that a loose print will ship within 2 weeks and a framed print within 3 weeks. That time is significantly shorter if I'm in town at the time the order is placed. If you need a print done by a certain date, you can contact me and I'll be happy to give you an estimated delivery date.
We are now offering quantity discounts if you are interested in two or more pieces. Simply contact me with the sizes and names of the images you are interested in and I will be happy to get you a quote. The more pieces you order, the better the discount.
Thanks for your interest!

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Super Fast Instant Adhesive SF100
We designed this instant adhesive to join together difficult-to-bond plastics and rubbers, acidic and/or contaminated surfaces such as woods, leathers, cardboard, and oily surfaces. Low viscosity helps the adhesive quickly flow and create a thin layer that bonds in just a few seconds.This fast acting cyanoacrylate can be used for a super fast cure in high speed production applications.
What are Instant Adhesives?
Because the presence of moisture causes the glue to set, exposure to normal levels of humidity in the air causes a thin skin to form within seconds, which greatly slows the reactive curing process. Because of this cyanoacrylate should be applied thinly, to ensure that the reaction proceeds rapidly and a strong bond is formed within a reasonable time. Instant adhesives from 3M apply right from the container and rapidly reach handling strength at room temperature. A single drop per square inch can bond many plastics, rubber, metal and more with tensile strength up to 5,000 psi.

Closet Organization Systems - The Low Down
When it comes to choosing closet organization systems to efficiently sort and fit all the clothes in your closet, closet design can be more of a science than you might think. Exact measurements are extremely important if you would like to maximize your space and take care of your belongings.
Will Your Closet Organization Systems Measure Up?
Shelf Width and Depth
- Closet organization systems can't just store your clothes. It needs to use every inch of space in your closet. To minimize unused space, each shelf in your closet systems should be 12 inches wide and 14 inches deep. This is the width and depth of a folded sweater. Longer shelves should be in multiples of 12: a 36 inch shelf would hold three stacks of sweaters, for example.
Shelf Height
- The shelves of your closet organization systems should be no more than eight to ten inches tall. This may not seem like much, but any more would encourage high stacking, which in turn leads to piles of sweaters or t-shirts falling on you as you try to pull one out of the middle of the pile. Eight to ten inches should fit about 3 sweaters in a pile in your closet organization systems.
Eye Level Height
- Make sure that your closet organization systems have compartments separated into eye level, ground level, and tall levels. This can allow you to put your most frequently used items at eye level in your closet organization systems. Less frequently used items and seasonal items can be placed in the lower or higher spots.
Hanger Depth
- If your closet organization systems will allow it, shoot for a minimum of 24 inches (two feet) of depth for hanging items. This will prevent suit jackets, dresses and pants from hitting the back wall. Prolonged rubbing against the wall could damage your clothing.

Here's your chance to understand closet organization systems - Add the 'know how' from hundreds of thousands of projects to some sharp math skills and you'll see why our Design Consultants can anticipate and avoid problems at California Closets.

Here is something that is really damn good. The demos from Too Far To Care by the Ranchero Brothers. Now, anyone who has been a longtime fan of The Old 97's knows the Ranchero Brothers is the name of the band consisting of Rhett Miller and Murray Hammond where Old 97s songs are tried out first. Now we have been promised a stripped down Ranchero Brothers album since Too Far To Care, but I feel this is likely as close as we will ever get. This collection is from the Old 97's peak, and it's well worth downloading, even if you have to download it a track at a time.

You're standing in front of Tizona, the legendary sword carried into
battle by El Cid. You are impressed by 41 inches of forged steel. You
wonder how any ordinary man ever lifted a weapon this big, let alone
fought with it. But El Cid was no ordinary man. The medieval hero
vanquished the Moors from Spain with the help of his mighty blade.
Our Tizona Ring was not designed for the medieval battlefield. It
belongs to the modern gentleman. But thanks to the steel it was
crafted from, it shares a quiet strength and power with its historic
namesake. The center of the rugged steel band is decorated with
classic, Spanish flourishes, designed to catch the eye and suggest
that your heart may be of steel, but you have the soul of a dreamer.
Whole ring sizes 10-13 available.

Save the Warthog
8:46 AM, Mar 13, 2014 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
The A-10 has been designated for retirement in the Pentagon's quest to downsize. (Not for the first time, either.) According to the plans under review, those few hundred copies still in service will be decommissioned and, presumably, shipped of to some boneyard. Or, perhaps, cut up for scrap. Whatever the fate of the planes, themselves, their mission of close air support of ground troops will not soon go away. Which has led to a campaign to save the A-10 by those who believe in the plane and even love it, in spite of (or, perhaps, because of) its looks and its name – Warthog.
Some A-10 advocates believe that its ungainly lines are repellant to elements in the Air Force that believe an airplane should look, by God, like an airplane. Like an F-16 or the next-generation F-35. Comparing the A-10 to these is like lining a garbage truck up against a Ferrari. But looks aren't everything and elements in the Air Force that want to see the A-10 retired argue that they have nothing to do with the plan to retire the bird. That other planes can do the close-air support job, and others as well. And that the Air Force both needs new planes and must get by on fewer planes.
Congress, however, is concerned. As Christopher Harress of IBT reports
Let's see. Idaho, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, and Korea.
Is Korea a red state or a blue state?

MOSCOW (AP) -- Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife died Saturday along with 130 others when their plane crashed while coming in for a landing in western Russia, officials said.
The Tu-154 plane crashed near the Smolensk airport, about 400 kilometers (275 miles) west of Moscow.
The governor of the Smolensk region, where the crash took place about 11 a.m. (0700 GMT), said no one survived.
"The Polish presidential plane did not make it to the runway while landing. Tentative findings indicate that it hit the treetops and fell apart," Sergei Anufriev said on state news channel Rossiya-24. "Nobody has survived the disaster."
The Polish foreign ministry confirmed that Kaczynski and his wife were aboard the plane.
The head of Russia's top investigative body, Sergei Markin, said there were a total of 132 people on the plane, a Tu-154.

Richard Benyon wants you to wrap your cheese, for Britain, for your children
Apparently, Richard Benyon's butler is throwing away something like £50 of food every month, which is JUST DISGUSTING. You see, Richard Benyon, who apparently got VOTED by people as an MP for Newbury, is FURIOUS that his butler, and other such plebs, have been throwing perfectly good food in the bin when really, they could have been eating it.
Richard Benyon wouldn't have eaten it, no. But the butler could have done.
I mean, £50 a month in Richard Benyon's fridge is probably a few slices of organic farmyard Cornish Yarg and a spoonfull of Beluga caviar. Who knows. I'm making GROSS ASSUMPTIONS about rich people which is not at all similar to the gross assumptions Richard Benyon, reportedly worth £110m, is making about everyone else.
You can imagine Benyon's horror, as he pads around his massive kitchen for the first time in months, wondering what happened to his organic smoked salmon that he ordered two hours ago, and finding that, and the Yarg, in what the butler calls the "bin".
"Chesterton!" he yells. "Chesterton, get right here, you oik. What the FUCKING FUCKITY FUCK are you throwing perfectly good food away for? Hm? Hm Chesterton? Come on, explain."
"But sir, the salmon expired today and the Yarg was smelling slightly. I was only trying to protect you from harmful bacteria."
"FUCKING FUCK CHESTERTON, this is AUSTERITY BRITAIN. Fish it out, man. You can eat it yourself. I'm not touching it."
"I'd rather not, sir."
"Come on, Chesterton. Fish it out. I'll watch you eat it."
Yes, poors, you're throwing too much food away and multi-millionaire Richard Benyon is here to lecture you on how to behave in AUSTERITY BRITAIN, for you are feckless, lazy and you don't even CARE about your food. Eat your leftovers! Fish that food out of the bin! WRAP YOUR CHEESE, BRITAIN! WRAP IT NOW!
He bangs on about it, no he really does:
"Keeping most fruit in the fridge in its packaging can keep it fresher for a week or more, but around 60 per cent of us take fruit out of the packaging, and more than 70 per cent of us do not store it in the fridge," he said. "Re-closing packs of cheese and sliced meats helps to stop them drying out in the fridge, but 13 per cent of us apparently store such food unwrapped in the fridge."
Wow, this man knows his fridges. Not sure about you, but if I had £110m, I wouldn't be wrapping my own cheese. I'd have people for that kind of thing. You know, paid people, because if I had £110m I'd be a "wealth creator" so I'd be CREATING JOBS like fucking crazy. Cheese wrapper. Salmon smoker. Cured ham protector. There's loads of people who want jobs out there. I'd be paying them.
Or, alternatively, Richard Benyon really cares about your cheese. Or just cheese in general. He didn't get where he is today without an appreciation of how to lengthen the life of a good Cornish Yarg, did he. A man should know his cheese. A man should know how to protect his cheese.
Watch Richard wrap the cheese, people. Watch him. It's not just in a tupperware box, it's wrapped in clingfilm, too. Did you see that, poors? Did you see Richard wrapping his fucking cheese? Did you see his butler pop it into the fridge with due care and attention?
If not, why not. Because you were probably too busy filling your mouths with crisps, I guess. Crisps that have gone off because you left the packet open while you were in the pub. Probably.
Now fuck off and wrap your cheese. Benyon told you to do it.
