The CW to end Kids WB! in 2008
For many of us the rite of passage that was Saturday morning cartoons died years ago. The following news just puts a final nail in its coffin.
Last week The CW announced that it was dropping the 13-year-old Kids WB! franchise at the end of this season. Replacing it will be content from 4Kids Entertainment, which has been providing FOX with Saturday morning programming for the last six years. Leasing the space made "the most business sense" according to Bruce Rosenblum of Warner Brothers TV Groups. Despite high ratings, Kids WB! was losing viewers to cable networks like Nickelodeon. Currently, only 10 staffers remain with Kids WB!. A spokesperson for The CW said that they would try to find new positions for these people at the network.
In a world where the other major networks dropped their original Saturday morning programming years ago due to the increasing dominance of 24-hour cable networks dedicated to children, Kids WB! was an island unto itself. There seemed to be a resurgence in the programming block over the last few seasons with the introduction of such shows as Tom & Jerry Tales, Shaggy & Scooby Doo Get a Clue, The Batman and Legion of Super-Heroes. There was additional excitement over the summer when Kids WB! announced it would be airing a new Spider-Man cartoon beginning in 2008.
Where all of these cartoons will go now is up in the air. Rosenblum said that Warner Brothers Animation "would continue to produce for cable, direct-to-DVD, broadband and wireless". There's a good chance that many of these shows will end up on the company's online animation platform T-Works, which will be up and running next spring. There's also a chance that some of the product will end up on Toon Disney's Jetix block of programming, which currently airs Batman: The Animated Series, Superman :The Animated Series and soon Pinky and the Brain.
I doff my cap to you, Kids WB!: you did your best for many years and I give you credit for that.

pav@ steps down from portmgr@

Pav Lucistnik, aka pav@, recently stepped down from his roll on the FreeBSDÂ Ports Management team.
Pav started on portmgr back in November 2006, he was the one responsible for many of the -exp runs over the years. His most dubious claim to fame was talking over the responsibility of krismails. We all looked forwward to our pavmails, right?
On behalf of the Ports Management team, we want to thank Pav for his years of  service, he will be missed.

FRIDAY, July 16 (HealthDay News) -- Seniors whose drug costs push them into Medicare's "donut hole" and parents whose children are uninsurable due to pre-existing health conditions are among the first Americans to see tangible effects of the nation's historic health reform law.
The public is still split -- pro and con -- over the comprehensive health legislation, polls show. But as the first provisions of the Affordable Care Act begin to take effect, consumer sentiment appears to be on the upswing. The percentage of Americans with a favorable view of the law jumped 7 percentage points to 48 percent in June, according to the latest polling data from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Forty-one percent have an unfavorable outlook.
"From an individual [standpoint], there's a lot that could be positive," said attorney Chantel Sheaks, a principal in the Washington, D.C., office of Buck Consultants, a benefits consulting firm.
The law, for example, requires individual and group insurers that cover dependents to extend that coverage to adult children until the age of 26.
"For a lot of parents, that's very positive, especially given this economy where younger adults are having difficulty finding jobs -- and finding jobs that actually have good benefits," Sheaks said.
Like many of the law's early provisions, the age-26 requirement takes effect on or after Sept. 23, 2010. For health insurance plans that operate on a calendar year, new benefits typically would take effect on Jan. 1, 2011. However, some insurers are extending health insurance to young adults ahead of the deadline, says the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The sweeping health overhaul signed into law by President Barack Obama in March sets in motion a series of reforms that will be carried out over the next several years. Core elements of the reform package, including the creation of sta

Calif. sporting groups leery of dept. name change

Jerry Brown recently signed legislation replacing "Game" with "Wildlife" in the departments name. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — After six decades as the California Department of Fish and Game, the agency in charge of the state's wild animals has a new name — one that has many hunting and fishing organizations leery.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation recently replacing "Game" with "Wildlife," in a nod to environmentalists and animal-rights activists. Sporting groups fear the legislation signals a change in the department's traditional focus.
"Generally, that means a shift toward butterflies, endangered species and other stuff like that," said Mike Faw, spokesman for the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance, an Ohio-based advocacy group that has seen similar efforts in other states.
Once the name change takes effect Jan. 1, only 12 other states will use the word "game" in the names of their wildlife agencies.
The name change grew out of a two-year effort to develop a strategic vision for the department. Hunting and fishing organizations say they didn't feel they were adequately represented during the department's makeover, which supporters say better reflects California's changing political and demographic landscape.
"We were outnumbered, there's no question about it," said Bill Gaines, president of the California Outdoor Heritage Alliance.
His organization was one of four representing hunters on the department's Login to read more

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch)—Stocks are trading near record highs, and some say that's more due to cautious optimism than solid fundamentals.
Stocks finished higher last week, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.20% set its first record close of the year. The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.07% passed into record close territory but couldn't finish there. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.41% closed up 1.2% on the week, though it's still down 1.3% for the year.
The workings of the Dow suggest hope is driving prices rather than the bottom line. Sales and profit trends aren't looking so hot, nor are corporate outlooks.
The 24 out of 30 blue-chip companies that have already reported are showing a 3.3% decline in first-quarter earnings, setting up the third year-over-year decline in earnings out of the past four quarters, says FactSet data. Similarly, revenue is on track to rise 0.4% for the first quarter, which would be the seventh straight quarter of sub-1% growth. Yet, over the past 12 months, the Dow is up more than 11%.
"It does not appear that results for Q1 are fueling the rally," said John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet, in a note. "Perhaps the market is looking ahead at expectations for higher earnings and revenue growth in the future."
S&P 500 companies are doing a little better than their Dow counterparts on earnings. The blended earnings growth rate for the first quarter is now 1.5%, up from the anticipated 0.4% decline at the end of the first quarter but much lower than the expected 4.4% growth rate at the beginning of the first quarter.
While outlooks have not been as negative as they have been lately, it's too soon to tell if second-quarter growth is accelerating, said Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group. Given the sluggish first quarter, expectations for the second quarter are higher, he said.
"I'd characterize them as being more faith-based than data-based," said Colas.
Analysts appear to less negative than usual. In a recent Goldman Sachs report, the firm noted that second-quarter consensus estimates have flattened out rather than declined as is customary with the progression of earnings season.
Much of the optimism stems from the lousy winter and how it affected big-ticket purchases. While not all of that will be recovered in the following quarters, companies are predicting a fair amount will, said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab.
"Probably half the things people didn't do was because of the weather, so there's a lot of pent up demand," Frederick said.
Disney, Pfizer, Tesla
Only two Dow components report this week: Pfizer Inc. PFE, +0.45% on Monday, and Walt Disney Co. DIS, +0.91% on Tuesday. Nearly 80 companies in S&P 500 companies will report with much of the weighting in media stocks and insurers.
Along with Disney this week, 21st Century Fox Inc. FOXA, +0.39% FOX, +0.00% and MarketWatch parent News Corp. NWSA, -0.64% NWS, +0.07% report. Also reporting are CBS Corp. CBS, -1.66% Discovery Communications Inc. DISCA, +0.21% Scripps Networks Interactive Inc. SNI, +0.56% DirecTV US:DTV and Cablevision Systems Corp. CVC, -0.51%
Internet travel sites TripAdvisor Inc. TRIP, -2.30% Priceline Group Inc. PCLN, +0.69% and Orbitz Worldwide Inc. US:OWW and online deals site Groupon Inc. GRPN, +0.13% also report.

Last updated: 10/16/2013 //
This statement was held by Permanent Representative Geir O. Pedersen.
Financing for development is a key element of our enhanced efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals and shape a new set of post-2015 sustainable development goals. Norway welcomes the outcomes of the Special Event and the High-Level Dialogue, including the calls to mobilize national and international resources and develop a coherent financing framework for a unified post-2015 agenda with sustainable development at its core.
ODA will continue to be a critical source of financing for development and Norway will provide a high level of funding. However, we need to see this in perspective. In doing so, we must improve development assistance where ODA increasingly can be used as a catalyst to leverage private and public finance for long-term growth and development. This must be done within a context of good governance, human rights and rule of law.
Norway regards our ODA – currently about USD 5 billion a year, or 1% of our GNP, as an investment in the future of partner countries, their people and their environment.
It supports their capacity to protect lives and livelihoods and lift people from poverty to prosperity. Experience shows that given the same growth in income, more equal societies see much faster poverty reduction than unequal ones. Ensuring equal rights for women and girls is especially important, also for sustained economic growth.
Increasingly other sources of finance from abroad, such as foreign investment and remittances, are also taking a greater role. And - as discussed in RIO, innovative financing mechanisms, such as taxation on financial transactions, can also make a positive contribution by mobilizing additional resources.
We do however need to emphasize the importance of states and governments, at all income levels, pursuing national ownership and mobilizing domestic resources. Taxation is crucial to a global partnership for sustainable development.
Through its Tax for Development and Oil for Development programmes, Norway cooperates with partner countries to strengthen the expertise and capacity of tax authorities, not least their ability to collect a fair share of the revenues from the extraction of non-renewable resources. The results are promising. One of our partner countries changed its tax regime and more than tripled its tax revenues from mining between 2007 and 2012, which allowed for a similar increase in the country's budget for education.
We also expect all donors and partners to cooperate to combat the scourge of corruption, tax evasion and illicit capital flows. Measures to prevent illegal outflows of capital could release considerable funds for development. Curbing these flows is ultimately a question of political will. Financial transparency is essential. Country-by- country reporting can help to unveil multinational companies' financial operations and give developing countries a rightful opportunity to tax them. If not dealt with, illicit financial flows will inhibit economic development; undermine state building and the potential for economic growth.
Important progress is being made in reducing developing countries' debt burdens. However, the global community needs to handle the debt problem in a more comprehensive, fair, predictable and preventive way. Norway will continue to work for more responsible lending and borrowing. In addition, we welcome the discussion on a new international debt workout mechanism and we are cooperating closely with UNCTAD in order to discuss and present proposals for potential future solutions.
Chair, let med conclude by saying;
We have confidence that donors, emerging economies, development partners and program countries, will deliver on the promises and global partnership commitments made at the Millennium Summit and in Monterrey, Doha, Busan, and Rio.
In order to discuss the important challenge of financing the post- 2015 sustainable development agenda we need to be realistic, but also innovative in finding ways of utilizing the potentials of existing and future financial flows for development. In this we look forward to discussing the proposals from the Expert Committee on sustainable development finance.
Thank you Chair.

Steven Sinofsky, the former Windows boss that was ousted from Microsoft in November, has created a new personal blog called "Learning by Shipping" to share "thoughts and perspectives on product development, management and the process of bringing new products to market."
Even though most people would expect Sinofsky to also talk about Microsoft, this won't be the case, he said in his first post.
"The focus on this blog won't be about specifics or the past regarding Microsoft, of course. Some topics might come from current events as the basis of more general posts. In previous blogs, most all of the topics came about through interactions across the team," he said.
Sinofsky has decided to take some time off after leaving Microsoft, but for the next few months he'll be on sabbatical as an Executive in Residence at Harvard.

You may be thinking, "why is this drink called Sunflower Sunset?" Because every juice (just like every color of paint) needs a great name. One of the fun parts to juicing is trying to come up with a name for the color of juice that comes out of all the different combinations of fruits and vegetables. Do you ever wonder how the names get chosen for colors? Like, whose really fun job is it to come up with a new name for a crayola crayon. Color is so important because even without putting something in your mouth you can taste and feel it just by seeing it's color. Was "Sunflower Sunset" the correct name for the color of this juice, you tell me?
The juicer that I use is a Breville Juice Fountain ® Compact
How to grow your own Sunflower Greens: Click Here
Sunflower Sunset Juice (Raw & Vegan)
1 pallet of sunflower greens (approximately 2 cups)
3 peeled moro blood oranges
3 organic beets with their tops, scrubbed completely clean from dirt or sand
1 peeled sweet potato
4 large organic carrots, scrubbed clean
1/2 teaspoon spirulina*(optional)
Process the sunflower greens, oranges, beets, sweet potato and carrots through your juicer. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of spirulina if using.
*Spirulina is one of those health food items that is said to be super great for you. I was recently introduced to this blue-green algae by my health coach. Spirulina makes my mouth very dry when I consume it, but it doesn't seem to bother me when placed into a juice in small amounts. It has a grassy and earthy flavor that seems to work well with the root vegetables in this juice which is why I like to include it.

Monthly Archives: October 2010
I was mulling over what to post today
then I was on my Windows Live where over a year ago I started a blog ( with about 4 posts
Windows is now wanting us to upgrade to WordPress – so I went over to take a look…it had been months! at this blog
THIS POST was on there from The Lettered Cottage…I remember how it made me cry that morning
ONE of those things my heart needed to hear…and still does.
I think it goes right along with my Intentionally Brave undertones
AND EVERY WOMAN should have these things
DON'T you THINK?
BTW…my favorite line is also " where to go when your soul needs soothing"
next would be " when to try harder and when to walk away"
What's Yours?
{ sorry it is loading crooked…ugh }
Enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to.
Something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams, wants to see her in an hour.
A youth she's content to leave behind.
A past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.
A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.
One friend who always makes her laugh…
…and one who lets her cry.
A good piece of furniture, not previously owned by anyone else in her family.
Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored.
A feeling of control over her destiny.
How to fall in love without losing herself.
How to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
When to try harder…and when to walk away.
That she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.
That her childhood may not have been perfect…but it's over.
What she would and wouldn't do for love.
How to live alone…even if she doesn't like it.
Whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally.
Where to go when her soul needs soothing; be it to her best friend's kitchen table, or a charming Inn in the woods.
What she can and can't accomplish in a day…a month…a year.
The BlogFrog Community over at {in}courage had a discussion about " What books are you reading?" It is one of the biggest discussions going in that community right now!
I happened on a post onBlogHer on how to be a better writer ~ was to be an avid reader.
"Reading is the single most important activity that leads to better writing. In fact, it's just as crucial as actually writing. So, let's talk about why it's essential for writers to read as much as possible."
quoted from websiteWriting Forward
IS SOMEONE trying to tell me something?:) I've always been a reader but I am busier than ever with raising a family, being the wife an you know – yada yada….
I've always had a secret obsession to be a "writer" but some of my choices in high school put a halt to fulfilling those dreams….and here we are 23 years later.
{ didn't finish High School, did get GED years later, one English Class in the 12 credits I went to college for and didn't get good English grades in High School! } So WHAT UP with that??
What am I going to do then?
{1} Set a goal to read 5 books by the end of the year
{2} Start taking classes on writing
{3} Participate in blogs that are in a writing niche. I am joining MamaKat at Mama's Losin It in her writing prompts. Ask for constructive criticism.
Here are the 5 books I am choosing
Full of beautiful, heart-wrenching, and hilarious stories, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years details one man's opportunity to edit his life as if he were a character in a movie.
are you reading with a purpose?
{ Intentionally Brave Mondays }What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open
Muriel Rukeyser
Do you like beginnings? Won't you please join me for the genesis of Intentionally Brave Mondays here at my House?
Intentional meaning ~ done deliberately…purposefully…intended
I would like to take Mondays as the beginning of courageous choice…to intentionally set our minds for the week towards the myriad of unexpected moments coming our way – when a split second choice will be asked of each of us. Will we do the hard thing by choosing bravery while fear is hanging on? or will be fear win again? Sometimes fear does win..that is life. It is in these moments that I would like to visit and share.
On Mondays I will share my perpetual climb of brokenness to being intentionally brave…saying goodbye to the fearful little girl – to becoming the grown woman I so imagine myself to be. Being the daughter He knows me to be ~ instead of the orphan I've always believed I was.
Often times hearing others helps us to keep going…I can't even begin to tell you all of the ways others story has encouraged me…kept me climbing…even when I've had to stop and rest awhile…we learn that we are not alone… Here there is no judgement – just a place where our humanness…our femininity if you will… meets with the Daddy of grace.
Anything that you have been fearful of or in and chosen to be brave…could be changing the paint color in your kitchen to how you are dealing with health issues to the challenges of raising children. There are no boxes here:) From the giants to the ants. You can post a picture, share a story, write a poem or a song.
ALL of life encompasses different aspects of bravery…each is applicable:) There is no right or wrong way…no " not enoughs " YEAH:)
It can be one word…or 1000 words
I will read and treasure each one
Please share funny things as well…simple things…there are NO rules:) { except to share grace with one another realizing all circumstances are unique } It doesn't have to be all SERIOUS…or it can be serious…please..I invite you to just be your authentic selves:)
Share a fear you may struggle with and the way you are overcoming that in your daily life. Each day we are presented the the choice of following fear or following bravery..
which will you choose?
Every Monday

I am shining
I never knew that until the Design Girl redesigned my blog!
Danielle asked me what colors I had in mind for the sidebar titles etc.
I had know idea…I told her I was thinking black, brown…
Always thought I was on the darker side…my "dark" side…lol
I would have never chosen pink..{and yellow}
I am loving it…aren't you?
It really reveals my heart…thank you Design GirlFunny – when choosing photos for my header I knew they had to take me to a place that would engage my soul so when I go open my blog to play ~ I fall in love all over again….
go visit her{ Danielle @ Design Girl that is }..she might become famous on a reality TV show…LOL!
…Pink is a color that I want to be SHINING…
I want to shine my BEST color…
Pink in general ~ means femininity….REALLY? I never thought of myself that way…BUM comes to my mind…but feminine?? …{ lets put it this way ~ I like comfy..the over 40 trap that I am refusing to allow to control me anymore…at least when I go out }
I want to become feminine…to me that means dressing more like this

Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott Welcomes Baby Girl
Scott made the announcement on her Twitter page shortly before 3PM ET. "She's here," she wrote, "and we are in HEAVEN!!! Eisele Kaye, our beautiful angel, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"
Scott made the announcement on her Twitter page shortly before 3PM ET. "She's here," she wrote, "and we are in HEAVEN!!! Eisele Kaye, our beautiful angel, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"
County/Pop act, Lady Antebellum, has cancelled their July 20th concert at the 2013 Cheyenne Frontier Days. Why? Because front woman Hillary Scott is pregnant and expecting her first child this summer.
Lady Antebellum (Lady A) is one of the hottest bands in America right now- crossing over from Country Music to Pop Music.
They are a great trio- and have a great crew with them out of the road, with whom they have a blast with.
Most recently, down in Texas, the held--- the annual Lady A Ping-Pong Tournament!
Take a look!
With millions of albums sold and a growing list of hits to their name, Lady Antebellum are one of the fastest-rising young acts in the music business. As they gear up to promote their just-released third album, 'Own the Night,' they're on the verge of delivering one of the biggest sales successes of 2011.
And according to singer Hillary Scott, none of it might have happened if it wasn't for Whoopi Goldberg.
Lady Antebellum announced today that its "OWN THE NIGHT 2011 TOUR" will roll into Colorado Springs at Colorado Springs World Arena on December 1st, 2011. The tour will feature special guests singer/songwriter Josh Kelley and Edens Edge. Fans can purchase tickets at Ticketswest beginning Friday, September 16.
Have you forgotten that Lady Antebellum's new album, 'Own the Night,' is scheduled to come out next week?
Yeah, we didn't think so. But just in case you had — or you were looking for a couple more sneak peeks at one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year — the band has posted two more clips of songs from the album.
Lady Antebellum asked their fans to post videos on YouTube of them singing their latest single, 'Just a Kiss'.
It's about to be much more than 'Just a Kiss' for Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott! Scott, 25, got engaged to boyfriend Chris Tyrell, 24, over the Fourth of July weekend.
If you're going to include something called Webisode Wednesday on your site, you might as well have a little fun with it -- and that's just what Lady Antebellum have done with the latest installment of their series, offering fans their take on Katy Perry's hit 'Teenage Dream.'
In the clip, embedded below, the band starts off in a dressing room, tackling the song with nothing more than their voices and an acoustic guitar. From there, the action moves to the concert stage, where they perform it in front of an adoring crowd.
I love this band ! They have such great songwriting skills, and are wonderful performers as well. They took home a Billboard Music Award for best country song "Need you now", which of course we played on TRI 102.5 as well. Congratulations to the group.
The 2011 Grammy Nominees were announced yesterday!
Here are the Grammy nominations for the major categories:

From what I can tell there are still some areas of blowdowns around Purple Lake and perhaps elsewhere. I was hoping to go south from Reds Meadows (now open) and come out at North Lake near Bishop, in a week or two. Anyone have info/ sources on blowdown conditions on this stretch of the JMT? Thanks.
Yesterday I was just north of there at Agnew Meadow. Yes, there was a lot of timber laying on the ground. The contractor had it cut and stacked so that the trail was completely open. There won't be any shortage of firewood for a while.--B.G.--
On 6/29, between Gladys Lake and Johnston Meadow, lots of trees down, many walks arounds and climb overs. Many hikers going on through, not taking PCT bypass. South through to Florence Lake by 7/6, no problems.
Bob, which trail(s) did you take out of Agnew Meadows? Everything open and good? How "different" looking is everything?
Here is the latest blowdown clearing report.Blowdown Report
Excellent. Thanks for the link, Art.
Should be very passable all the way through. When I went through Inyo the ranger there told me that he had seven crews workig on it. I we t through over a week ago and there were some blowdowns leaving VVR from the south down to Tully Hole but it was cleared from purple lake to Donahue pass. I don't think there were any in Yosemite that were a big deal. All of the ones I came across on the PCT were very, very manageable. If you see a trail crew out there give them all high fives.

Bill Miller has been watching governors races unfold for years, but he says the 2006 race is unique, with its full field of candidates, including independents.
"There's always been an independent streak to Texans, but I don't think we'ver ever seen it as pronounced in a way of being a candidate and raising as much and spending as much money as we've seen this year. It certainly exemplifies the Spirit of Texas, you might say. Because you had a multi-candidate field, it threw everything historically has been a way that people sort of sorted through the the clatter, it's been hard to do. Multiple candidates, multiple messages, and it's out of the ordinary and trying to sort it out and make sense of it, it's been difficult."
More than one million Texans cast ballots early--in person or by mail--but Miller doesn't see that as particularly significant.
"The early voting, which, you know, historically was called absentee voting because, you know, people were allowed to vote early because they weren't going to be home--they'd be out of state or otherwise unavailable to vote--now it's become a three-week Election Day. And that's basically how you have to look at any campaign. And both the parties, and in this case, independents as well, have made a real concerted effort to vote people early so that those hard-core supporters can be available to them on Election Day, when the other half, or so, of the electorate goes to the polls."
More than one candidate has stressed the importance of turnout.
"Turnout is critical for any candidate in any race, but it's, it's even more important or more critical for an independent because they're looking for the voter who's sort of sliding off sort of the party label and may not be the voter that votes regularly or isn't inclined to be toward politics, so the independent candidate has to find the independent voter and get a little bit of Republican and a little bit of Democratic votes, so turnout is critical for the independent candidate." Ed: "How are you going to be spending election eve?" "Well, I've spent it too many to count with candidate who were dying and being reborn based on the precinct counts that are rolling in. I have dinner with my family, and I have other people who are glued to the returns who give it to me. I just sort of stay out. There's too much anxiety and drama for me on Election Night. I get it, I'm one step removed. I have other people living and dying it, and then they report to me."
The polls are open until seven. Ed Mayberry, Houston Public Radio News.

On the road again: Cancer patients get treatment transportation
Most cancer patients rely on a bevy of volunteers within their own circle of family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, but circumstances can leave patients stuck on their roads to recovery without a ride. That's why the American Cancer Society offers the program of that name — Road to Recovery — which matches volunteer drivers with patients in need of a lift.
Local cancer patient Mimi Torbush, of Marco Island, gets much more than a literal lift to her appointments, though, through her drivers, especially Kay Dorrell, who gives her an emotional lift, too.
"She's so compassionate," Torbush says.
Dorrell found out about the program a few years ago and had been looking for a more hands-on effort to help cancer patients, rather than helping to just raise money. Her mother and father, and several friends died from cancer, and her granddaughter survived cancer at a young age. Dorrell went to a several-hour training workshop, and has been driving patients several times a week for the last two years.
Torbush worries more about the burden of her drivers (volunteers and family and friends) than she does about her cancer, she says. But Dorrell insists it's no hardship to drive.
"I take a book and my lunch," Dorrell explains.
According to Torbush, she and her driver have left her house at 9 a.m. some days and, because of unforeseen circumstances, haven't arrived back home until 5 p.m.
"Just think about someone who would give up that much time. I can't believe how good they are to you," she says.
She was diagnosed with esophageal cancer on Dec. 21 and it has metastasized in her lymph nodes, stomach and vertebrates. She'll need stronger chemo treatments, but her attitude stays strong.
"We will make it," she says with a smile. "And as soon as I am well, I will volunteer. As soon as I am OK to drive."
Torbush is lucky enough to have some of her own drivers, but because she has so many appointments she has to rely on the Road to Recovery volunteers, also.
"Your friends, neighbors and co-workers can only do so much," she says.
In June, Torbush needed 18 rides, and was only able to line up three. The need for drivers is great, but it's always greater during the summertime, because many of the volunteers are seasonal. At one point, the Road to Recovery was heavily recruiting on Marco Island for drivers, because they only had one year-round driver: Kay Dorrell. They now have a few more non-seasonal drivers on Marco Island, and about 30 total in the Collier County area, says patient services coordinator Cindy Crisci.
According to Crisci's records, from Sept. 1 to June 30, the Road to Recovery volunteer coordinators and drivers have given 1,203 rides in Collier County. "We couldn't do what we do without our volunteers," Crisci says.
The Road to Recovery program offers a two-hour training, which basically explains the program and the dos and don'ts, in Naples now (before it was only offered in Fort Myers). Each new volunteer gives coordinators a driver profile detailing how often they would be available to driver, and how far they are willing to go.
"Our goal is to have one driver for every patient," Crisci says.
Patients and potential volunteers can contact the American Cancer Society and Road to Recovery program by calling 1-800-227-2345 or visiting www.cancer.org.

This manual contains a copy of the profile upon which scores from the Basic Cued Speech Proficiency Rating (BCSPR) are tabulated, Copies of test items (Forms A, B, C, and D) and scoring procedures for these test items are not included. The BCSPR is only available to qualified examiners who have been trained and certified to administer the test.
The BCSPR was designed to serve two functions:
The test was standardized on a population of fifty-six cuers who ranged from beginners to experts. The results of experimental testing were validated by a panel of five nationally recognized instructors of Cued Speech (including Dr. Cornett). It has been established that the rating provided by the BCSPR serves as an objective guide to the proficiency levels of cuers. Therefore, such ratings could be extremely helpful in assessing the competency of those who wish to function professionally as interpreters, instructors, or clinicians with the hearing impaired. Ratings can also be used to measure progress of individuals. Parents who cue have a right to know how accurate and fluent they are as visual/oral language models for their children. Don't pass up an opportunity to take the BCSPR!
- Evaluate the current proficiency level of an individual cuer, and
- Provide a diagnostic profile of cueing skills achieved and skills which need further development.
The second function of the BVSPR is probably more important to the readers of this manual because it spells out both the Proficiency Goals which challenge every cuer and the Error Factors which commonly stand between the novice cuer and the skills which he/she would like to achieve. Essentially this manual is organized around the Proficiency Goals and Error Factors of the BCSPR. A quick glance at the profile headings and the table of contents for this manual will confirm this fact.
When you examine the printed profile, notice that Error Factors (EF) have different weightings (numbers along the left margin) for scoring purposes, and a few Error Factors which are primarily diagnostic and have no weightings at all. The non-weighted EF help the person tested to "zero in" on whatever may be causing specific cueing problems. Weighted EF do the same thing, of course, except that the weights also indicate the seriousness of the problem in terms of ultimate proficiency.
To illustrate how individual Proficiency Goal (PG) ratings are computed, let's examine the PG-1 rating of John Doe:
But John also has many vowel cueing errors (EF-E) and scores a [2] which is heavily weighted [6]. If John ever hopes to be a "Proficient" or "Mini-Proficient" cuer, he must develop vowel cueing accuracy!
He has occasional synchronization problems (EF-H) with vowels so scores a [] which is weighted [5].
Now look back to the top (PG-1) for his overall rating. Why is it a [6]? Answer: because his worst weighted score becomes his Proficiency Goal rating for that section of the test.
Let's suppose that John Doe works hard on vowel accuracy (EF-E) and vowel/hand synchronization (EF-H), takes the BCSPR over again, and now scores [0] for EF-E and EF-H; all the other scores stay the same. What will his revised rating be for PG-1? Answer: a [3] because his worst weighted score is now no higher than [3] (see EF-G and EF-I). John Doe now has a much better chance of achieving "Proficiency" -- but minor problems remain. Hopefullyhe will return to those sections of this manual which can help him develop specific further skills.
For those who haven't taken the BCSPR the printed profile can serve as an objective reminder of what it takes to be a truly "Proficient" cuer. The manual itself provides the practice materials which would serve as a guided, purposeful program for steady improvement of skills.

BOWIE, ANDREW Detection of microbes by TLRs on the plasma membrane leads to the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, via activation of NF-κB. Alternatively, activation of endosomal TLRs leads to the induction of type I IFNs via IFN regulatory factors (IRFs). TLR4 signaling from the plasma membrane to NF-κB via the Toll/IL-1R (TIR) adaptor protein MyD88 requires the TIR sorting adaptor Mal, while endosomal TLR4 signaling to IRF3 via TRIF requires the TIR sorting adaptor TRAM. Similar to TLR4 homodimers, TLR2 heterodimers can also induce both pro-inflammatory cytokines and type I IFNs. TLR2 plasma membrane signaling to NF-κB is known to require MyD88 and Mal, while endosomal IRF activation by TLR2 requires MyD88. However whether, like TLR4, TLR2 requires a sorting adaptor for endosomal signaling was unclear. Here we show that TLR2-dependent IRF7 activation at the endosome is both Mal- and TRAM-dependent, and that TRAM is required for the TLR2-dependent movement of MyD88 to endosomes following ligand engagement. TRAM interacted with both TLR2 and MyD88 suggesting that TRAM can act as a bridging adapter between these two molecules. Furthermore, infection of macrophages lacking TRAM with herpes viruses or the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus led to impaired induction of type I IFN, indicating a role for TRAM in TLR2-dependent responses to human pathogens. Our work reveals that TRAM acts as a sorting adaptor not only for TLR4, but also for TLR2, to facilitate signaling to IRF7 at the endosome, which explains how TLR2 is capable of causing type I IFN induction. PUBLISHED 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z SARM regulates CCL5 production in macrophages by promoting the recruitment of transcription factors and RNA polymerase II to the Ccl5 promoter. http://hdl.handle.net/2262/74175 SARM regulates CCL5 production in macrophages by promoting the recruitment of transcription factors and RNA polymerase II to the Ccl5 promoter. BOWIE, ANDREW The four Toll/IL-1R domain-containing adaptor proteins MyD88, MAL, TRIF, and TRAM are well established as essential mediators of TLR signaling and gene induction following microbial detection. In contrast, the function of the fifth, most evolutionarily conserved Toll/IL-1R adaptor, sterile α and HEAT/Armadillo motif-containing protein (SARM), has remained more elusive. Recent studies of Sarm(-/-) mice have highlighted a role for SARM in stress-induced neuronal cell death and immune responses in the CNS. However, whether SARM has a role in immune responses in peripheral myeloid immune cells is less clear. Thus, we characterized TLR-induced cytokine responses in SARM-deficient murine macrophages and discovered a requirement for SARM in CCL5 production, whereas gene induction of TNF, IL-1β, CCL2, and CXCL10 were SARM-independent. SARM was not required for TLR-induced activation of MAPKs or of transcription factors implicated in CCL5 induction, namely NF-κB and IFN regulatory factors, nor for Ccl5 mRNA stability or splicing. However, SARM was critical for the recruitment of transcription factors and of RNA polymerase II to the Ccl5 promoter. Strikingly, the requirement of SARM for CCL5 induction was not restricted to TLR pathways, as it was also apparent in cytosolic RNA and DNA responses. Thus, this study identifies a new role for SARM in CCL5 expression in macrophages.

NOLAN, DEREK The metabolic network of a cell represents the catabolic and anabolic reactions that interconvert small molecules (metabolites) through the activity of enzymes, transporters and non-catalyzed chemical reactions. Our understanding of individual metabolic networks is increasing as we learn more about the enzymes that are active in particular cells under particular conditions and as technologies advance to allow detailed measurements of the cellular metabolome. Metabolic network databases are of increasing importance in allowing us to contextualise data sets emerging from transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic experiments. Here we present a dynamic database, TrypanoCyc (http://www.metexplore.fr/trypanocyc/), which describes the generic and condition-specific metabolic network of Trypanosoma brucei, a parasitic protozoan responsible for human and animal African trypanosomiasis. In addition to enabling navigation through the BioCyc-based TrypanoCyc interface, we have also implemented a network-based representation of the information through MetExplore, yielding a novel environment in which to visualise the metabolism of this important parasite.

The Language of Flowers, also known as floriography, was a Victorian-era means of expressing messages and emotions through flowers. Floral dictionaries were widely published in the early to mid-nineteenth century and contained not only the meanings of flowers, but also poetry and botanical illustrations.
A collection of floral dictionaries along with other floral books and ephemera is currently on display this month in the case by the door to the Shenandoah Room. Brochures containing the Language of Flowers are available for those who wish to create their own meaningful bouquet. The library has several volumes of Emily Dickinson's poetry as well as books on floral symbolism, including A Victorian Flower Dictionary by Mandy Kirkby and the recent fiction title The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.

Intellectual Ventures LLC
Intellectual Ventures is a private company claiming to invest in "pure invention." Their business model has a focus on developing a large patent portfolio and licensing these patents to companies that infringe on them, or more controversially, potentially filing lawsuits against these companies if they refuse to take a license. This methodology has been referred to as "patent trolling" by detractors, although Intellectual Ventures defends their model by claiming credit for helping to build a liquid market for invention and aiding the small inventors who might otherwise be at the mercy of large corporations.

Mother of teen who murdered his sister talks about being an advocate, helping others
The day after she saw her 18-year-old son, Paris Bennett, led back into custody for stabbing his sister 17 times in 2007, Charity Lee realized she never stopped loving her son.
Five years after the killing, Lee says she's doing everything she can to turn her 4-year-old daughter's violent death into something positive, including her past work as a certified crisis specialist for the San Antonio Police Department and speaking out about her story at schools and prisons.
Bennett was 13 when he killed his sister, Ella Bennett, on Feb. 4, 2007. Police at the time said they did not know a motive for the murder.
"As soon as I saw her, and I saw what he had done to her," said Lee. "I knew that something had to be done."
During a closed transfer hearing held this week before Taylor County Court-at-Law Judge Robert Harper, it was determined Bennett would have to serve the remainder of his sentence in a state prison. Taylor County Assistant District Attorney Harriett Haag said it can take up to two weeks for the teen to be transferred into the Texas prison system.
At the two-day hearing, Paris Bennett could have been given a shorter sentence.
Since he was convicted in 2007, Bennett has been serving at Giddings State School, a juvenile correctional facility located about 270 miles southeast of Abilene.
According to police, Paris Bennett called 911. When police arrived at the home, Ella already was dead.
Police said Bennett stabbed his sister while they were alone in their Abilene home. His mother was at work that night at Buffalo Wild Wings and expected to come home to her two sleeping children. Instead, officers came to the restaurant to tell her horrible news.
Lee said her son, Paris, convinced a baby-sitter — a college student — to go home about 9:30 p.m. Sometime during the next two hours, ee said, Ella was tortured then stabbed to death with a kitchen knife by her big brother.
Lee said it is estimated that it took about 15 minutes for Paris to kill his sister.
Six months after the killing, Paris Bennett pleaded "true" to capital murder and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Because he was 13, he was not certified as an adult to stand trial.
In August 2011, Lee launched The ELLA Foundation (Empathy, Love, Lessons and Action), a nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of violence through criminal justice reform and victim advocacy efforts.
By next year, Lee hopes to publish a book about her family tragedy and has plans to open a community center for the nonprofit in Jackson, Miss.
Lee also blogs on her nonprofit's website, chronicling the story of the short life of her daughter, whom she describes as being amazing and intelligent.
Lee said there were no indications that her son had violent tendencies.
"Paris was an amazing big brother," she said. "For Ella's part, she worshipped her brother. He helped her picked out her clothes. ... I just remember thinking how lucky I was to have two kids. They were harmonious, life was going well. Paris would go check on his sister at school. There was no indication that this was going to happen."
"I do know that Ella just adored him."
Lee said although her son has not undergone a formal diagnosis, she firmly believes her son has a "narcissistic personality disorder."
A couple of state doctors, she said in an interview, stated he has emerging anti-social personality disorder. Her son's attorney maintained throughout the hearing that Paris has Aspergers syndrome — a developmental disorder that affects a person's ability to socialize and communicate effectively with others, she said.
"I have been told that when he gets to the adult system those doctors will have no problem with diagnosing him," she said. "I think it's just because ethically you're not supposed to (diagnose) anyone under the age of 18 with a personality disorder."
Bennett will be eligible for parole after he serves half of his 40-year sentence. Bennett's projected release date, if he completes his full sentence, is 2047. He would be 53.
In the meantime, Lee said all she can do is continue working with the nonprofit dedicated to her daughter's memory,
"The best plan I've come up with, since accepting he is different and dangerous, is to love him," she said before the judge last week. Lee posted the victim impact statement she read in the court on her blog.
"Do what I can to keep him safe in the world he's chosen to live in," she said, "and unless he proves me wrong, warn the world he is dangerous, so he can never do to someone else, and himself."

>>Sit the fuck down: The Sean Parker story
I push off and head down a makeshift plywood runway, compressing as I roll over the edge and into the Technicolor graffiti of the drainage ditch. The transition between the banked wall and the flatbottom has an abrupt kink in it, enough to send you to your face if you're caught sleeping. I take some weight off the front end and try to maintain my speed as I pump into the opposite corner and carve the far end of the ditch where there's an over-45-degree wall that runs behind what my friends and I call the "death pit" a gaping cutaway in the bottom of the culvert, five feet deep, filled with broken glass, and frequently used as a urinal. Since I'm at the apex of my backside carve, up a wall 10 feet above last week's Miller Time, I'm jolted by the crackle of a loudspeaker:
"You are trespassing. Leave the area at once or you will be arrested."
My concentration shot by the sheriff's announcement, I jump off my deck and over the chasm at the base of the bank, barely clearing the skater's version of a Vietnam tiger pit, and land on the rough concrete beyond the edge. My board bullets straight in, though, so I've got to lower myself gingerly into the mostly dry detritus and rescue it before my friends and I jet out of the spot and into the manicured back nine of Pleasanton's Castlewood golf course. We get to the car, throw the boards in the trunk mine has a "Skateboarding Is Not a Crime" sticker on the bottom and head to the next spot, a ditch called the Rat Trap.
The year is 1987. I'm 16, in high school, and living with my parents in Fremont. The scene plays out over and over in much the same way: a drainage ditch, a nicely painted curb or ledge at a shopping center, the occasional backyard pool, and night sessions at the Tar Banks, a set of embankments around a loading dock with curbs at the top. It's an underground railroad of repurposed architecture, none of it designed with a skateboard in mind but all of it highly skateable.
Taking the $4.7mil Cunningham skatepark. Video by Jarrod Allen, www.jarrodallen.com
Every weekend my crew hits as many spots as we can, and the constants shape up like this: urethane, aluminum, Canadian hard rock maple, concrete, and asphalt. Maybe blood, maybe beer we're teenagers after all but nearly always: cops.
Skateboarding may not be a crime, but it sure as hell feels like one.
Flash forward 20 years. I'm with a different crew as I pull onto a street in suburban Redwood City, and I'm no longer rollin' in my mom's Plymouth Sundance, but my own truck. The other thing that's changed is the number of wheels per head. There are four heads to eight wheels, and we're here to ride the Phil Shao Memorial Skatepark. On bikes.
The park does not disappoint. There are a million kids trying tech ollie flip tricks around the perimeter of the park, but the bowl is what I'm about. Big and shapely with almost burlesque hips poured into her concrete, I'm in love as soon as I roll in.

MotionTracking inertial sensor devices, such as those available from InvenSense, are rapidly becoming a key function in many consumer devices including smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices as they provide an intuitive way for consumers to interact with their electronic devices by tracking motion in free space and delivering these motions as input commands. Accurately tracking complex user motions requires the use of motion sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, compasses, and pressure sensors, fusing the sensor outputs into a single and accurate data stream for use as input commands in consumer electronics devices, and ongoing run-time calibration to ensure an optimal user experience. These sensor solutions enable mobile applications to reach new levels of sophistication for users –more immersive gaming, accurate indoor and outdoor navigation, augmented reality, and location-based services, adding and increasing new ways to generate revenue for carriers and manufacturers.
MotionTracking devices from InvenSense offer a high level of inertial sensor performance and integration with 6-axis (3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope) motion sensors solutions. InvenSense also offers Microphone Sensor solutions with the high SNR performance needed to support in-cabin beamforming which enables clear hands-free audio communication and voice commands. InvenSense is well positioned to support the rapid growth of automotive applications such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Navigation/Dead Reckoning, Lift Gate Motion Detection, Skid Control, Dash Cam Video Stabilization and Audio (Microphone) Noise Cancellation & Voice Commands to enhance the consumer's automotive experience.

It's conference proposal time! Have you thought about how you may be able to turn your assessment results or best practices into a conference session? It is a great way to share what you have learned about assessment with others as well as a great professional development opportunity for you and your colleagues.
Why should you present at a conference?
- It will help you focus your time and energy on issues, questions or outcomes that will not only contribute to your presentation but also will help in your practice. Can't think of a great topic? Think about the challenges and issues you are facing; chances are these are similar for your colleagues at other institutions making it a great presentation topic.
- Helpful presentations identify models of best practice and share the challenges and successes you've experienced, so don't worry about being an "expert" on the topic you are presenting.
- Submitting a program helps you develop writing and presentation skills. You also develop your expertise as you research models of good practice.
- Presenting a program expands your network while providing recognition for you and your institution as well as meeting others with similar concerns. Additionally, your institution will be seen as a "place" that is addressing an area of concern.
- You become a part of the student affairs learning community. Sharing ideas is how all of us improve our practice and enhance our students' experience; we all need to help keep the conversation going.
If you are interested in submitting a program proposal this year, start with a conference you normally attend. If you're new to the conference proposal process, starting where you are most comfortable will help. Also, remember there is safety in numbers; if you're unsure of presenting on your own, ask a colleague or mentor to present with you. If you're interested in presenting about assessment, you could also invite your StudentVoice Assessment Consultant to present with you.
Wherever you would like to present, pay most attention to the submission date and guidelines. Two conferences with deadlines coming up are the NASPA and ACPA National Conferences. Both the ACPA (deadline Sept. 7) and NASPA (deadline Sept. 3) websites provide detailed information about their process, and how to submit a successful program.
To help in the proposal writing process, here are some quick tips provided by experienced program reviewers in the ACPA Commission on Assessment and Evaluation and head to their wiki for more details about each of these tips.
- Pick a good topic. A good proposal starts with a compelling topic.
- Connect your proposal to the theme, professional competencies or pressing issues designated by the conference planning team.
- Make sure that you provide clear, concise learning outcomes, and support them in your proposal.
- Review the proposal review criteria/rubric so you know how your proposal will be evaluated.
- Assume your reviewers know nothing about your topic.
- Pick a good title. A title should be informative and interesting to the lay audience.
- Develop an effective abstract. Can you get my interest and make me concerned if I miss the program?
- Write your abstract last rather than first, to ensure that it truly reflects the content of your presentation.
- Use specific examples and best practices in the proposal and subsequent presentation.
- Make sure to note the intended audience.
- Make sure to *specifically* indicate why your proposal is unique.
- Start with the outcomes for the session and build the session around those.
- Be clear about what participants will be able to do, know, or value after the session. (And be realistic given the time allotted for a session.)
- Include an outline so reviewers know what you are doing.
- Be clear and concise.
- Proof read and make sure your proposal is free of typos and grammatical errors.
- Take word counts seriously; organizers will make you stick to them.
- Use headers/sections to help guide the reader so it is very clear that you are speaking to EVERY point outlined in the call for proposals.

Heat forward Shane Battier, one of the NBA's best defenders for the last several years, was asked about his approach to guarding a player like Kevin Durant.
Miami Heat notebook: How do you guard Kevin Durant? Shane Battier suggests prayer
"You start out Sunday morning in church," he said with a laugh. "Say three Hail Marys. I've got some Buddha beads. You pray to all the gods.
"He's a tough cover. He's a guy who I have the ultimate respect for. Outside of my own team, I think he's the best player in this league. He's hungry. He's relentless."
Battier later said Durant is "up there" in the rankings of best players he's defending in his career.
"I've seen his growth from his rookie year, and obviously his talent is unparalleled," Battier said. "But now he's starting to understand the game. Not just scoring baskets, but how to be a basketball player. When supremely athletic and talented guys figure that out, that's when it's game over."
At Monday's Media Day, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra wouldn't reveal his starting lineup for Tuesday's opener.
"I'll give you the lineup tomorrow night," Spoelstra said.
And unlike the Thunder, with its solidified starting five, Miami's tipoff crew is constantly shifting.
During the Eastern Conference Finals, Spoelstra used three different starting lineups. All-Star forward Chris Bosh, who is coming off an abdomen injury, wasn't involved in any of them.
But with Bosh back healthy, delivering 19 points in the Heat's closeout win, many believe he will rotate back to a starting role. Spoelstra said that change is not a given.
"I'll consider everything by tomorrow night," Spoelstra said. "I think he can handle more minutes. We'll have to see. He was able to handle those 31 minutes."
Before the 2011-12 season began, Battier was a free agent and the Thunder was among his suitors.
"It was strong," Battier said of the mutual interest. "I really wanted a three-year deal, and because of their commitments they have coming up in a very short time period, they were not able to commit to that.
"That really was a deal breaker. I didn't want to go somewhere where I played half a season, and then I'm getting ready for free agency again and moving my family across the country. Miami was the only team that offered me a three-year deal."

O'Neill to Bremer to Clarke
Some email from listeners today:
On blacking out Ted Koppel tonight:
"… when the clean up of the Trade Center was celebrated, part of the ceremony was a reading of all the names of the dead, complete with flags waving and tears. No one objected to that."
On the "repositioning" in Fallujah:
"It¹s an American retreat, a defeat. The city is being turned over to the people who were fighting us. The rest is just window dressing."
On the revelation that Paul Bremer, then a terrorism expert, said in February 2001 that the Bush people seemed ready to "stagger along until there's a major incident":
"The Bremer interview backs up what Clarke told the 9/11 Commission on the precise same point."
Can they write off Paul O'Neill, Richard Clarke and Paul Bremer all as malcontents?
Have a good weekend.

Michael Johnson has a gift for UFC Fans this holiday season, and he even made a music video about it
We're glad someone at the Blackzillian's camp decided to start making music videos starring their MMA fighters: It's long overdue. We also couldn't be any happier that they decided to remake SNL's famous "D*ck in a Box" jingle that took over the western world faster than Gangnam Style and Justin Bieber combined (none of that is true). We're not sure if Michael Johnson will quit his fighting career in the UFC to do this full time, but we're totally behind him if he chooses to.
On second thought, that's bad advice. We'd actually rather see him fight than become a pop star. It's hard to imagine a scenario where he could ever look as cool as Alistair Overeem did in that LMFAO video. We certainly applaud his efforts though. In fact, we've even put the video on the front page of MiddleEasy to show him how much we dig it.

Maybe the scarp can take more of a battering, but in every other respect the SS must be better? I can't see any other way of looking at it!
How do you actually visit your PM's on the site?
I can't see how to anywhere!
Thanks everyone
Would anyone be able to make something and shipped to Guernsey (and island just off the north coast of France) within 1 month?
Hi Stephen
It might be too late now as I ordered it yesterday! I also see that the Strato packs up smaller and has greater internal space and head height. I cannot think of a single reason to buy the Scarp 2 ...
I have just bought this for use with a tarptent - and when you say its slippery, that plus a sinylon floor...eek!
An Expensive Quilt...
Does anyone know of something similar but cheaper? http://www.phdesigns.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=325 Thanks
Vs Scarp 2?
What is the benefit of this tent over Scarp 2?
BPL Article on Tent Pegs
Didnt there used to be a really good article on here about tent peg choices? I can no longer seem to find it. Does anyone remember the conclusions/recommendations? Thanks Paul
