Rustic Cladding is distinguished by the natural textured relief of the Vtile pattern of the stone.
Slender strips of varying lenght are glued in a tight interlock to create the refined appeal look of Mini Split tile.
Taking new stones in new directions,
Hand selected for texture and color, each natural stone Strip Tile creates an exceptional surface.
Similar to the Rustic Cladding, the Rustic II Cladding is distinguished by a honed surface of carefully chosen stones.
Parallels Cladding arranges varying widths of natural-face stone strips in an offset pattern, creating a natural and subtly distinctive surface.
Shaped like a wedge, the Vtile™ is thin at one end and thick at the other adding a stunning three dimensional relief to a wall.
The Vtile II adds a new dimension to the widely popular Vtile™ range.
Shaped like a wedge, the Large Vtile™ is thin at one end and thick at the other adding a stunning three dimensional relief to a wall.
The Uniform Cladding group of tile combines the popular offset design of rustic with the sleek simple elegance of hand chipped and flamed Andesite stone.
The Slat Tile is a cladding with the angle cut across the width rather than the length, as in the Vtile.
V Squares Cladding creates a varied relief pattern that intertwines across a surface.
Parallels V Cladding integrates the dynamic relief of our VTile designs and flat tiles into a mesh backed tile.

SANParks to increase conversation feesComment on this story
Durban - The annual tariff increase for 2013/14 conservation fees would be higher than anticipated, South African National Parks (SANParks) said.
Conservation fees would rise by 15 to 25 percent and overall accommodation rates would increase by an average of 10.1 percent, SANParks general manager: strategic tourism services, Joep Stevens said.
"This increase has been brought about by the provision of additional conservation functions such as additional security measures in some of the parks," Stevens said.
These included additional rangers at Table Mountain and the Kruger National Park.
Stevens said the rate structure would also be adjusted to align with industry standards."
"As such the accommodation rates will be changing to a three-tier system which will include a low season rate, shoulder season rate and a high season rate," he said.
The new rate changes would take effect on November 1, 2013.
Bookings for this period would open next Tuesday, December 18. - Sapa

Run Faster with Repetition
By Sergio Borges
One great way to improve your running is by repetition. By repeating certain training sets over a number of weeks, athletes learn to:
Improve motor skills
Via certain specific sessions using a flat treadmill (0% incline that helps you to move forward), you can work on increasing your stride rate thereby reducing the time spent on the ground and causing less eccentric load on your quads. You'll literally program your red meat computer to perform the way you want.
Train concentration skills
By shifting emphasis from aerobic levels of effort to form, repetition encourages you to develop greater levels of focus and concentration that will help you in racing and increase effectiveness of your workouts.
Develop intuitive understanding
Over time, athletes who train with repetitions develop a keen ability to literally feel how they are doing on any given day.
Better anticipate training
For age group athletes especially, repetition is a predictable and structured routine that you can adhere to without compromising sound training principles, while making more efficient use of your time.
Track performance
With repetitions, athletes don't need to undergo physiological testing or test themselves over race distances in training – instead, their training ensures that you can track their improvements in each sport every week.
Accurately gauge fatigue
The interactive process means you learn quickly to determine if on one of those days you are truly tired and need rest, or are merely off.
Build consistency
A few simple guidelines ensure that athletes come to accurately interpret their body's signals over time and to better apply these to maintain training consistency.
Increase relevant strength
Triathlon is an endurance sport but like all sports, strength and power are required to perform at your best. With three disciplines to train for it's difficult to find more time to concentrate on specific strength training, as everything seems geared towards building stamina and endurance. Surely all that training on its own is enough to build the strength you'll need, right?
Sergio Borges is a USA Triathlon Level III certified coach.

Engineering worker confidence bounces back
The Randstad engineering employee confidence index for the U.S. rose to a reading of 57.8 in the fourth quarter of 2012, its first increase in the past three quarters. The reading increased 3.4 percent compared to a reading of 54.4 in the third quarter. The index measures workers' confidence in their personal employment situation and optimism in the economic environment.
Although a growing number of engineering professionals (34 percent in the fourth quarter compared to 29 percent in the third quarter) believe the economy is getting stronger, the number of engineers who believe more jobs are available fell four percentage points to 23 percent in the fourth quarter. However, 59 percent of engineers feel confident in their ability to find a new job, up from 53 percent in the prior quarter.
"A persistent area of concern for engineers is in the availability of jobs, which declined further in our index this quarter," said Randstad Engineering President Richard Zambacca. "However, as is the case with many other fields, certain positions within the industry are estimated to grow aggressively in the long and short-term. Industrial engineers and electrical/hardware engineers have demonstrated steady growth in the past year."
The report is based on an online survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Randstad. It surveyed 4,738 employed U.S. adults.

How to Check Someone's Breathing Rate (Rate of Respiration)
When someone breathes, they breathe in oxygen and then breathe out carbon dioxide. The breathing rate, or the number of times that a person breathes in and out in 1 minute, is often checked by health care professionals to determine the health of a person. The normal breathing rate is between 12 and 18 breaths per minute. Many factors affect a person's breathing. You must learn to test for breaths per minute and spot the reasons or causes behind slow or fast breathing. This article will tell you how to check the breathing rate.
1Ask for a person's consent before touching them to check their breathing rate.
- There is good evidence to suggest that the breathing rate are best checked when people do not know it is happening, because people can become nervous and breathe faster, if they know they are being checked. However, it is not a good idea to check breathing rate by sight until you are very familiar with the process.
2Choose a spot to check breathing rate that has good lighting and a clock with a second hand nearby.
3Ask the person to seat keeping the head neck & spine in one alignment. Make sure they have not recently exerted themselves. They should be at a resting rate when you check their breathing.
4Check for indications that the person is already having trouble breathing. These include cold or clammy skin, bluish color of the lips, tongue, nail beds or inside of the cheek, flaring of nostrils, lifting of the shoulders when breathing, or being unable to talk without stopping to catch a breath.
5Place the palm of 1 hand on the top of the person's chest, just below the collarbone.
6Wait until the second hand on the clock is at the 6 or 12 marker. It will be easier to keep track if it is at the bottom or top.
7Count how many times a person breathes in, causing their chest to expand. 1 breath counts the act of inhaling once and exhaling once. Pay attention to the inhalations to simplify your count.
8Stop counting after the second hand arrives at the 1 minute mark. Normal breathing is between 12 and 18. Seek medical attention if the rate is under 12 or over 25; this indicates a severe problem.
9Check for the following reasons can account for faster or slower breathing:
- Children breathe faster than adults. Faster breathing can also be caused by nervousness, exercise, loud or fast music and high altitude. Medical reasons that a person may have trouble breathing include: anemia, fever, brain illnesses, cardiology illnesses, pneumonia, asthma, or other respiratory illnesses.
- Elderly people breathe slower than children and adults. People generally breathe more slowly when they are sleeping or very relaxed. Medical reasons that a person may breathe slower include: morphine drugs, extreme sickness, lung problems or brain swelling.
10Check for the following other symptoms that can also indicate a breathing problem:
- Breathing irregularity. Does the person breathe in and out at approximately the same rate each time? Irregular breathing can indicate the person is having trouble breathing.
- Depth of breathing. Does the person take very deep breaths that greatly expand the chest, or do they breathe in shallow breaths? Older people generally breathe more shallowly.
- Equality of breathing. Do the right and left sides of the chest seem to expand the same amount?
- Sound of breathing. Does the person make any sounds when breathing, such as wheezing, gurgling, grunting or snoring? If they do, does the noise happen during inhalation, exhalation or both? Use a stethoscope to better hear the sounds.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- When listening to the sounds of breathing, use the stethoscope on bare skin.
- As you become more practiced, you will want to check for breathing symptoms while you count the breathing rate. The first few times you can do them separately, to make sure you maintain an accurate count.
- As you become more skilled, you can also check breathing rate by watching the rise and fall of the breath; however, you may still choose to use a hand occasionally. It is hard to see breathing if a person is wearing loose clothing.
- Pregnant and obese people often have more irregular breathing than normal.
- After you become practiced in checking breathing rate, if the person's breathing seems regular, you can count the number of breaths in 30 seconds and multiply the number by 2 to arrive at the person's breathing rate.
- Seek medical attention immediately, if the person has a bluish color to their lips, tongue or inside of the cheek. Also, if the resting breathing rate is above 25 breaths per minute or below 12 breaths per minute, seek medical attention immediately.
Things You'll Need
- Clock with a second hand
- Good lighting
- Stethoscope (optional)

Kevin Peterson used to have a terrible time with his iPhone at Twins games because the ATT network in and around Target Field tended to be overloaded.
"I'd try making calls, but they wouldn't go out," the attorney said. "Uploading photos to Facebook would take a minute or two."
So Peterson is among those celebrating the ballpark's recent unveiling of a Wi-Fi network that is supposed to get gadget-toting, social-media-obsessed Twins fans onto the Internet more quickly and reliably, with no cellular-network congestion.
"I use my iPhone all day," said Peterson, who does not want to stop when at the ballpark. That is why he believes stadium Wi-Fi "is great."
It's great when the Wi-Fi is working, that is.
The network's debut during the Twins' recent home opener was, by many accounts, a disaster. Fans who could access the Wi-Fi just before the game via their handheld devices were mostly cut off during the opener.
Kevin Smith, the Twins' executive director of public affairs, acknowledged issues with the Wi-Fi network during that game but said "it's settled down" since then "and working quite well."
Not every Twins fan will agree. Some interviewed for this article had wireless-access problems during recent games. But they're happy to have the amenity and said it is proving useful.
The Twins organization gets another chance to fine-tune the network with a six-game homestand starting tonight after more than a week of road games.
A Pioneer Press reporter made heavy use of the Wi-Fi network during one recent game and did not have major problems getting online, except at one spot in the outfield bleachers that might be a Wi-Fi dead zone — Twins staffers said they would investigate the possible problem area.
So why Wi-Fi (or, if you prefer, Twi-Fi)?
"We saw the Wi-Fi writing on the wall" when designing the park, Smith said. "Restaurants have done it for years, and cafés are offering Wi-Fi. We know the demand is there and is only going to get greater. We live in an ultraconnected world.
"It's not every day you get an opportunity to build a brand new sports facility, and we wanted to make it a first-class facility in every way. Technology is obviously a big part of that."
The ballpark's Wi-Fi network consists of more than 200 "access points" littered throughout the facility, some encased in nondescript, hard-to-spot gray-metal boxes positioned high above the stands. Those access points work in unison to create a blanket of bandwidth that — at least in theory — provides uninterrupted Wi-Fi access everywhere.
The Twins' tech staffers stop short of guaranteeing this.
Network dependability largely is contingent on how many fans try to access it at once, Avenson said.
The Twins aren't the only ones entering the Wi-Fi age. Wireless networks are in place at other major league ballparks, including the Arizona Diamondbacks' Chase Field, the Atlanta Braves' Turner Field, the Houston Astros' Minute Maid Stadium and the San Francisco Giants' ATT Park.
Those using such networks are not only carrying phones. There have been a number of iPad sightings at Target Field. Other Twins fans are packing iPod Touch players, the Apple devices that work much like iPhones but get online only via Wi-Fi (they do not have cellular capability).
Anne Lloyd, a Rochester, N.Y., resident who spends a lot of time in the Twin Cities, toted her Touch at a recent ballgame so she could fire up the MLB.com At Bat 11 app. Though functional anywhere, the popular app has added benefits at a game, such as permitting her to more easily track down various forms of foodstuffs. If there is a queue at one stall, she can go find another.
The app also has game videos. So does a special site offered by the Twins at twinswifi.com for watching video of major plays shortly after they occur.
Troy Pullis of Brooklyn Park also took his iPod Touch to a recent Twins game and made use of it for MLB.com video viewing and some tweeting. One of the tweets earned the Web developer a prize. He answered a question on the stadium's big screen, and the Twins organization contacted him a bit later (via Twitter, of course) to say he was a winner.
Jeff Moravec of Brooklyn Park tried to access the Wi-Fi via his iPhone during the home opener but "never got on once."
He had better luck during a later game but did see occasional problems getting on. Still, he was able to check email, post to Facebook and swap text messages with his daughter, Ally, a college student in Illinois and "a huge Twins fan."
Moravec, a marketing consultant, admits he probably "should have put the phone away during the game and watched," but he wasn't the only phone-obsessed fan there. "Five or six people behind me seemed to have little interest in the game and had their phones out the whole time."
Christopher Johnson, a St. Paul attorney, said it was "fairly easy to connect to the Wi-Fi" using his iPhone at a recent game, but he found it irksome that clicking an "accept" button on a Twins Web page is required to begin each wireless session.
He also found that network performance has limits. Though the wireless-download speeds are often speedy, upload speeds tend to be constrained. That prevented Johnson from initiating a video chat with his daughters at home, as he had hoped to do so he could show them the park.
Joe Alvarado of Minneapolis, another iPhone user, said he is delighted with the Wi-Fi network. The University of Minnesota clerical worker said he was "able to log on right away, stay logged on for at least an hour" at a time, and feed Facebook and Twitter a continual stream of updates.
"I thought about bringing my iPad," Alvarado said, "but then I'd have to worry about protecting it when a foul ball comes my way."
What: A free Wi-Fi network, provided by the Minnesota Twins, for anyone with a Wi-Fi-capable device to use at Target Field. Such devices include modern smartphones and tablet computers.
How to log on: On your device's Wi-Fi screen, look for a network called "TwinsWiFi" and pick it. Your device should log on automatically (no password required), but you can't get online until you open your device's Web browser and click the "I accept" button on a Twins welcome page. You might have to repeat those steps repeatedly during a game.
What to do: In addition to accessing social networks, checking email and browsing the Web, you can pull up a special Twins site at twinswifi.com to see video highlights of earlier innings. Users of Apple and Android mobile devices can install the MLBcom At Bat 11 app to access a wealth of Target Field- and Twins-related resources.
Reality check: Don't expect the Wi-Fi network to work perfectly. If a lot of other fans are trying to do the same thing, access could be iffy and slow. Even amid normal usage, some fans have reported technical problems. The Target Field wireless network is a work in progress.
Those trying to access Target Field's Wi-Fi should look for a network called "Twins WiFi." No password is required to access the network, but users have to click an "accept" button on a Web page to access the Internet.
Using Target Field's Wi-Fi can be iffy. Problems accessing the network or its Web-based log-in page are not uncommon.

Comments Thread For: A Boxer is Born in Long Island
By Thomas Gerbasi - If youre a fan of boxing, there was inevitably a time when you watched a great fight and said I could do that. Or if you werent so bold, maybe you just whispered to yourself that you wanted to do that, that for one moment, you wanted to see what it was like to put on the gloves, step between the ropes, and engage in a pure one-on-one combat session with someone else.
For most, that thought quickly fades away when you realize a) you might have to get off the couch or b) that as fun as it is to hit, its not so much fun getting hit back.
As far as being a fan, Long Islands Mike Haltman is like most of us, having been stung by the boxing bug early on. In his case, it was when he was working as a bellhop at Grossingers resort, which doubled as the training home to an endless list of world-class boxers.
Back then the fighters all came up there to train, and I was around it, he said. There was a bar across the street that had a boxing club in it, so I went there, and I fooled around a little bit. [Click Here To Read More]

In My Wildest Dreams (Mass Market Paperbound)
Since she was a little girl, Celeste has had one burning desire: to marry Ellery Throckmorton. But what chance does a gardener's daughter have of capturing the heart of one of England's wealthiest gentlemen? However, the education she receives at the Distinguished Academy of Governesses enables Celeste to return to Blythe Hall with a refinement that complements her ravishing beauty--and makes her bold romantic dream more attainable. But, alas, temptation gets in the way . . .
For wherever Celeste turns, it is not Ellery she encounters, but his serious, yet undeniably intriguing, older brother Garrick. The elder Throckmorton will have no one interfere with the younger's impending nuptials, and his meddling infuriates Celeste to no end. Still, she cannot disregard the fluttering of her heart whenever Garrick deigns to smile at her. And the passion she senses smoldering beneath his formidable control is tempting her in a manner a lady must never allow . . .

|Enlargement of acute intracerebral hematomas in patients on long-term warfarin treatment.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20203487 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: The relationship between warfarin administration and the frequent development of enlarged hematomas in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is controversial. The present study was carried out to examine this issue. METHODS: This study reviewed 41 patients with nontraumatic ICH within 24 h after stroke onset from 1999 to 2003 who received long-term warfarin treatment (29 men and 12 women, 70 +/- 12 years old) and 323 patients who had not been on warfarin (177 men and 146 women, 66 +/- 13 years old). The hematoma volume (HV) on admission, final HV, frequency of hematoma enlargement (HE) and other background characteristics were investigated. RESULTS: Both the HV on admission (p = 0.031) and final HV (p = 0.001) were larger in patients on warfarin than in those not receiving warfarin. HE occurred more frequently (p < 0.001), and mortality at 30 days or at discharge was higher (p = 0.003) in the warfarin group than in the control group. A multivariate adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that warfarin treatment (OR = 5.75, 95% CI = 2.41-13.8, p < 0.001), liver disease (OR = 2.59, 95% CI = 1.12-5.99, p = 0.026), and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.04-1.15, p < 0.001, per 1-score increase) on admission were independently related to HE. CONCLUSIONS: Acute ICH in patients on long-term warfarin treatment appears to be associated with HE.

|Novel selective ligands for free fatty acid receptors GPR120 and GPR40.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19471906 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|GPR120 and GPR40 are G-protein-coupled receptors whose endogenous ligands are medium- and long-chain free fatty acids, and they are thought to play an important physiological role in insulin release. Despite recent progress in understanding their roles, much still remains unclear about their pharmacology, and few specific ligands for GPR120 and GPR40 besides medium- to long-chain fatty acids have been reported so far. To identify new selective ligands for these receptors, more than 80 natural compounds were screened, together with a reference compound MEDICA16, which is known to activate GPR40, by monitoring the extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) and [Ca(2+)](i) responses in inducible and stable expression cell lines for GPR40 and GPR120, respectively. MEDICA16 selectively activated [Ca(2+)](i) response in GPR40-expressing cells but not in GPR120-expressing cells. Among the natural compounds tested, grifolin derivatives, grifolic acid and grifolic acid methyl ether, promoted ERK and [Ca(2+)](i) responses in GPR120-expressing cells, but not in GPR40-expressing cells, and inhibited the alpha-linolenic acid (LA)-induced ERK and [Ca(2+)](i) responses in GPR120-expressing cells. Interestingly, in accordance with the pharmacological profiles of these compounds, similar profiles of glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion were seen for mouse enteroendocrine cell line, STC-1 cells, which express GPR120 endogenously. Taken together, these studies identified a selective GPR40 agonist and several GPR120 partial agonists. These compounds would be useful probes to further investigate the physiological and pharmacological functions of GPR40 and GPR120.

The beginning of a conference race is always a bit of a mystery.
One team's 9-3 non-conference record might be very good. Another team's 9-3 pre-league mark -- based on schedule -- might induce yawns. You never truly know until teams begin playing each other.
That has never been more true than in this year's Conference USA chase. Gone from the league are Memphis, Houston, SMU and UCF. In are Charlotte, FIU (Florida International), Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UT-San Antonio.
Still around are East Carolina, Marshall, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa and UAB. Though, East Carolina, Tulsa and Tulane are leaving after this year.
The schedule will make things a bit strange, too. UTEP will have a traveling partner in UTSA and will play the Roadrunners twice, home and home. But the Miners will play the other 14 teams only once each -- half at the Don Haskins Center, half on the road.
Miner fans will get a glimpse of Charlotte (tonight), Marshall (Saturday), UTSA, Louisiana Tech, Rice, Florida Atlantic, FIU and UTSA.
Of course, El Pasoans will get a look at all 16 teams this year. The Conference USA Tournament is March 11-16 in El Paso.
Southern Miss has pieced together the best non-conference record at 13-2. The Golden Eagles had the league's best RPI as of Jan. 1 at 47th. Louisiana Tech is right behind at 12-3. The Tigers have four starters returning and 11 lettermen from a team that won last year's Western Athletic Conference regular season title. UAB is 11-3 and the Blazers are 8-0 at home in Bartow Arena, including a win over nationally ranked North Carolina.
East Carolina comes in at 11-4, Charlotte at 9-4, UTEP 10-5, Middle Tennessee State (winner of the Sun Belt Conference three of the last four years, including last year with a 19-1 conference record) 9-5, North Texas 9-5, FIU 8-7, Tulane 8-7, Marshall 6-9, Old Dominion 6-9, Rice 5-8, Tulsa 5-9, UTSA 4-9 and Florida Atlantic at 4-10.
The chase for a championship will get under way tonight.
Charlotte will play at UTEP, Marshall at UT-San Antonio, Florida Atlantic at Louisiana Tech, FIU at Rice, Southern Miss at North Texas and Tulane at Tulsa.
From this point on, the mystery will begin to unfold ... Thursday by Thursday, Saturday by Saturday until all these teams convene in the Don Haskins Center in March.

"Everyone was beatable at some point and I know that everyone is a threat," the American said. "I do not feel I'm above anyone but it is just that I'm playing and doing the best I can."
"I'm happy (that) I'm working hard to be the best right now but soon it will be someone else," she added.
Williams won her 10th title of the 2013 season at the China Open in Beijing on Sunday after she defeated Jelena Jankovic of Serbia.

Tofino's only locally owned and operated airline.
Tofino's only locally owned and operated airline.
Tofino, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada The west coast of Vancouver Island has opportunities to explore seldom traveled areas. By utilizing our floatplanes, we can transport you and your exploration party to the remote areas you have been dreaming about. Whether it is glacial peaks, alpine meadows, old growth rainforest, miles of empty beaches or sea caves, chartered seaplanes are the best ways to get there.
Pretty Girl Lake Camp
This beautiful fly-in location is exclusive to Atleo River Air Service. Our lease is located on Pretty Girl Lake next to the famous Strathcona Park. The Lake is 1100 ft above sea level, and it's surrounded by old growth rainforest. Rainbow and Cutthroat trout flourish here. The camp includes the 14 ft X 16 ft canvas wall tent on a cedar plat form, queen sized bed, wood stove, two 16 ft canoes, propane two burner stove, and all dishes and utensils. The floatplane ride there is stunning. The flight is approx. 20 minutes. (additional costs)
Flores Island - Walk the WildSide Trail
The Wildside Trail offers the best beach hikes in Clayoquot Sound. This trail can be done in one day or multiple days. The trail starts at Ahousaht, a small native community, and ends at Cow Bay. The trail can also be accessed by a beach drop-off at Whitesands Cove. It is a relatively easy hike with some board walk trail sections joining beaches. Each beach faces a slightly different direction, making them all different from each other. Cow Bay is a popular hang-out for Grey Whales. Cow and calves can be seen very close to the beach.
Buttle Lake to Bedwell Sound
This hike has everything. Usually done in 2-3 days. Start ascending at Buttle Lake up through the rainforest to the alpine areas of Bedwell lake and the headwaters of the Bedwell river, hiking through Stathcona Park most of way. Descending, takes you though the Bedwell River valley, an area rich in beauty and history. Old gold mines and river canyons with suspension bridges are just a few of the highlights. Also keep an eye out for the abundance of wildlife including elk.
Nootka Island Trail
One of our favorites! Usually done in 5-7 days but can be done in 3 if you are super hero who doesn't like to kick back. The flight along the coast is worth it alone. Nootka Island offers beaches, caves, water falls, wildlife, and lots of local culture. The hike starts at a lagoon on the west end and finishes up at Friendly Cove. (Captain Cook was here) There are small fees collected at the end of the hike by the First Nation residents of Friendly Cove.
Escalante-Estevan-Boat Basin
A Hike for the experienced. Not a well recognized trail, but a great shoreline hike. Starting at the beaches by the Escalante River through rocky shelves, past the lighthouse at Estevan, through the old Hesquiaht native village, and on to the pristine beaches of Boat Basin. Did we say glass balls? Also stop and visit the homestead of Cougar Annie. Best done in 6-7 days.
Hot Springs Cove
Take a dip in the west coast's famous natural hot springs where standing under the upper waterfall can be the massage of the century. The natural rock pools below the waterfall descend toward the sea where tidal flows mix with the sulphur water, providing a variety of temperatures suitable for all ages. A 20 minute walk from the dock through the ancient rainforest on a boardwalk is part of the experience that makes a visit to this area unforgettable.
The InnChanter Inn
This floating lodge was a coastal freight boat that has been transformed by its' owner and manager, Shaun, into a comfortable and unique accommodation where one can stay and visit the hot springs at any time of the day or night. Shaun is a visionary that designs and builds architecture suiting the coastal area with a classic and luxurious touch that is totally individual making this place a well-known accommodation. Shaun's culinary abilities are exceptional. His meals are not only delicious and unusual but beautifully presented through his appreciation of art, design and color. An exceptional host, Shaun will make your visit to the springs and a stay at the InnChanter memorable.
Hot Springs Lodge

It was harmony that brought Brenda Sue Fulton and Penelope Dara Gnesin together.
Back in 1995, Fulton attended a "community sing" event in Plainfield, N.J., and while almost everyone there was singing melody, she and her friends were singing harmony. Gnesin, a choir director, asked to join their group, Fulton recalled.

The University House features an herb garden that's growing on its residents
August 11, 2009
By Angelo Grosso
The University House in Issaquah has something new cooking in its dining facility.
Executive Chef Elon Wagoner and Facilities Director Keith Drinkwine have been shopping at the Issaquah Farmers Market and buying herbs from local farmers.
At first, employees bought the herbs for meals. They soon realized they could grow their own herbs as well.
Employees and residents then grow and harvest them for preparation and use in the food that they serve the residents at The University House.
"It started with resident feedback," Wagoner said. "We asked opinions about the food we were serving and herbs were brought up. They gave us directions and we followed."
Those directions led to the Issaquah Farmers Market. It was there that Wagoner and Drinkwine bought herbs, such as cilantro, parsley and sage.
"We believe, as a company, that it's important to buy local," Wagoner said. "It's from the farm to our table."
Everything about the herb garden is from local companies.
Squak Mountain Nursery provided herbs, flowers and other materials. Mel's Cedar Yardcraft donated planter boxes.
"It was originally a small concept," Drinkwine said. "But now it has become something much bigger. At first, we had 12 herbs and now we have 35 and growing."
The new herbs have been a success with the residents. The Food Committee, made up of residents, has asked others for feedback and the majority of reviews have been favorable.
"People are now noticing the herbs in the food," resident and Food Committee member Joyce Zimmerman said. "They look for it in their food and try to guess what it is."
"A lot of people here have a far range of tastes," resident Baps Gray said. "These herbs should appease everyone. They did it right, there really is a community relationship with this herb garden."
The herb garden has become something in which the community can take part.
"The residents have been great helping us," Drinkwine said. "Whether it's educating others or giving us ideas for maintaining it."
The benefits extend beyond taste, Wagoner said.
"Herbs make foods healthier," Wagoner added. "So flavor is not the only goal. We want nutritional food served to our residents and the herb garden helps us with that."
A ribbon cutting ceremony for the herb garden will be held at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 18. Drinks and appetizers featuring the herbs will be served. The event is free and open to the public.
"This is not a one-time deal," Drinkwine said. "We will continue to grow and harvest the herb garden."
Employees at The University House could bring residents to the farmers market. Employees envision a field trip in which they pick herbs for the garden and residents are present during the selection process.

When my e-mail account at LSE was turned on, the first e-mail I received was from the sys admin. It read: "Please ignore this e-mail. This is just a test."
Of course, if I ignored the e-mail, I would have been doing what it said to do, which meant I wasn't ignoring it. So should I respond? I finally decided it was an initiation rite for new philosophy students -- anyone who was so freaked out by the conundrum that they didn't show up in London wouldn't be able to cut it in philsophy classes.

I´m 68 at the present time and started working in these machines at the age of 14, doing daily maintenance. My father taught me the principle steps and began working at 19 and kept a model 5 in beautiful working conditions until 2006 when computer finally took over. I had to move my shop to another facility and environmental zoning rules denied the use of the machine in most areas.I not only became an operator but in the process learned how to fix them. Once you operate one of these wonders, and do some mechanic work successfully, learning to operate any other printing press will not become a hard task. I operated offset presses, the Heidelberg windmill just by going over the instruction manuals. Little teaching was needed, only the conviction that once you learn the Linotype, anything else will be easy.

I truly want to share some experiences with other fellow operators of my era or maybe the older ones that are still alive.

No body else, except Linotype operators, will ever know or understand what these machines meant to us. How so many moving parts could work in such harmony and seldom times brake down, as long as they had proper daily maintenance according to the manufacturer.

For my 16th birthday, I wanted, and received a Mergenthaler, Model #16 Linotype Machine . . . It was in a de-greasing tank, and the first time I saw it, it was hanging from a contraption above a tank of chemicals. I helped re-build the machine. Took a 2-3 years.

He attended Connelly Trade School, took part in WWII in Germany and after his return worked as a linotype operator and repairman for the rest of his life. I still remember the stories he would tell me about the machines breaking down or acting finicky. He was a wiz with any type of machinery and was always able to repair them, far better than even the union machinists who, because of their protectionist union culture didn't really want him touching the machines. He worked for William G. Johnston Company in the North Side of Pittsburgh until it closed it's doors. Sometime after that he worked for Friediani printing company and became friends with the owner and his sons. I'll always appreciate the fact that they hired my dad and kept him on, allowing him to have some dignity in his later years. Sadly he passed away in 1988. To this day I still love both of my parents and think of them often.

My preference was always with Intertype machines as they just seemed to work better. I did 90% of the maintenance and had a roving machinist to do monthly service. Sold the business in 1973.

Roasted Corn & Blueberry Salad
By Shannon O'Donnell
Now that the weather is FINALLY warming up here, it's time for some summertime food. Fresh corn is available everywhere you look, and although my little boys are crazy about it, often I'll cook more ears than we can eat in one sitting. This recipe is a clever and colorful way to use up this sweet summer veggie.
Blueberries and corn together in one dish...who knew? It actually is a surprisingly tasty, fresh combo. This recipe was from a spring issue of Country Living (2010) Magazine. I don't follow it exactly...I made about a half recipe. And I didn't 'refrigerate overnight'...we ate it right away! But this is how it's printed:
1. In a dutch oven bring salted water to boiling. Add corn. Cook, covered, 5 minutes, or until tender.
2. When cool enough to handle, cut corn from cobs. In a serving bowl combine corn, blueberries, cucumber, red onion, cilantro and jalapeno.
3. For dressing, in screw-top jar combine lime juice, oil, honey, cumin and 1/2 tsp salt. Cover, shake well to combine. Add to salad and toss.
4. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

MIT's Energy Agenda
The institute's energy council co-chair Ernest J. Moniz describes a sweeping agenda to meet a "remarkable challenge."
Satisfying a possible doubling of global energy demand while supplanting fossil fuels is "perhaps the greatest single challenge facing our nation and world in the 21st century," a Massachusetts Institute of Technology panel wrote today in a draft research strategy report for the institute.
The MIT Energy Research Council, appointed by MIT President Susan Hockfield last year, is calling for a sweeping array of multidisciplinary research programs. Its report covers everything from oil extraction to carbon dioxide sequestration, from nuclear fusion to efficient freight management systems.
Its co-chair, Ernest J. Moniz, an MIT physicist and a former Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy, explains the council's thinking and recommendations.
Technology Review: Headlines these days are full of talk about $3-a-gallon gas. What are the fundamental energy issues facing the world today?
Ernest Moniz: As we cast it in our report, there are three major drivers. The first is simply the supply and demand equation, particularly driven by developing and emerging economies. One sees in most projections a doubling of energy use and a tripling of electricity use by mid-century. This is a staggering problem, or challenge, particularly when you realize that today 86 percent of primary energy comes from fossil fuels and conventional oil production may be peaking.
The second driver is security – the security of oil supply and also nuclear proliferation.
And third is environmental, especially climate change. If society gets serious about controlling greenhouse-gas emissions, this would be the most profound challenge to the structure of our energy supply, because that supply is based on fossil fuel. Controlling carbon dioxide, while also doubling energy use, is a rather remarkable challenge to contemplate.
TR: What is the timetable for R&D and deployment to get the job done?
EM: It's useful to think in terms of a 50-year timetable. For doing something about climate change, these next 50 years are critical. Fifty years is also the characteristic time for major changes of the energy supply system, if you look at the transition from wood to coal – then oil coming in, then gas coming in. Well, if we have a challenge we need to meet in 50 years, and it takes 50 years to turn over the energy system, that defines a challenge that you must begin to meet today. The energy challenge is – if not the primary area – certainly one of the primary areas for the application of science, engineering, and policy to meet real human needs.

Hospital program could be lifesaver for overweight children
Way to Go Kids! helped Alyson take measure of her life
01/06/04By STEVE DOYLE
Times Staff Writer, firstname.lastname@example.com
Huntsville Times
MONROVIA - Connie Howard knew her daughter, Alyson, was heavier than most kids at Monrovia Middle School.
But she was stunned when Alyson's doctor had the 11-year-old stand on a scale last fall.
At 202 pounds, the sixth-grader was dangerously overweight and staring at major health problems down the road: Type 2 diabetes, clogged arteries, even heart disease.
"Tears came to my eyes," Howard said. "My husband and I decided to jump on it right then."
Howard signed Alyson up for Way to Go Kids!, a nutrition and exercise program for overweight pre-teens.
Huntsville Hospital dietitian Linda Steakley and another local nutrition expert, Tandy Norris, dreamed up Way to Go Kids! in 1997. Too many youngsters, Steakley said, are "out of control" when it comes to food. They scarf supersized adult burgers and fries, then plop down on the couch with a remote control.
As their waistlines expand, they often become the butt of jokes at school.
Changing lifelong bad habits isn't easy. Steakley starts by reaching into a cardboard box and pulling out a glass vial full of ?sugar.
The 10 teaspoons of sugar in the vial is enough to make a birthday cake. It's also what's in a can of Coke, Steakley tells the kids.
Later, the 9- to 12-year-olds take turns testing their culinary knowledge in "Nutrition Jeopardy." They learn about food groups with the help of rubber coleslaw, cheese slices, pork chops and a clear-plastic pyramid. They giggle making low-fat snacks.
Steakley also talks about food portions. Few people realize an average restaurant pasta dish contains the equivalent of six servings of grains. Or that you're cramming in three to four servings of bread when you eat both sides of a toasted bagel.
The eight-week program, which rotates between the hospital's wellness centers in downtown Huntsville, Jones Valley and Madison, isn't a kiddie diet. Steakley said still-developing bodies don't need the stress of drastic weight loss.
If you can just stop a chunky child from gaining more weight, she said, they'll slim down as they get taller.
Exercise is the other half of the equation. Even activities that barely register on the sweat meter - shooting hoops in the driveway, walking the dog around the block - can help a kid shape up, Steakley said.
It may even be a lifesaver.
'Epidemic proportions'
Dr. Robert Creech, a Huntsville diabetes expert, said overweight children often become diabetic teenagers.
Type 2 diabetes, in which blood-sugar levels spike because the body fails to properly use insulin produced by the pancreas, used to be considered an adult disease brought on by decades of fatty foods and not enough exercise.
That's changing as flabby Americans sink deeper into their couches. Creech said his youngest Type 2 diabetes patient is 7.
"It's at almost epidemic proportions" in children and adults, he said last week.
It's not just Huntsville. The state Department of Public Health says Alabama has the nation's highest percentage of adults with diabetes - an estimated 439,000 people already diagnosed, and 200,000 more unaware they have the disease because their symptoms are mild.
"It's not something we're proud of," Sandra Langston, director of the state's diabetes control program, said last week.
The department doesn't track the number of diabetic children.
Langston said the Black Belt counties west and southwest of Montgomery are really struggling with diabetes.
Here's why: lots of poor people, lots of greasy-spoon diners, few doctors and not enough tax dollars to pay for parks where folks can walk off a big meal.
Type 2 diabetes can be controlled with healthy eating and exercise, but it can also be deadly if left untreated.
In Type 1 diabetes, the body stops producing glucose-regulating insulin. People with that rarer form of diabetes need daily insulin shots or an insulin pump to survive.
Carbohydrates - think breads, pastas and cereals - are Public Enemy No. 1 for diabetics because they wreak havoc with blood-sugar levels. Some restaurants, including McDonald's, are responding by offering low-carbohydrate meals.
Getting fit
At breakfast, Alyson used to reach for a stack of buttery pancakes.
But since graduating from Way to Go Kids! in mid-December, she finds herself reaching instead for Multi Grain Cheerios and lowfat milk - exactly half a cup of each.
Getting Alyson into better shape has turned into a family project for the Howards, who live in Monrovia's Laurel Woods neighborhood.
They traded in Friday night Domino's pizza for tilapia cooked on a George Foreman Grill. Mom now stocks the pantry with whole-wheat Ritz crackers instead of cakes and pies.
It's working, too. Alyson's already dropped 15 pounds. Her favorite jeans fit again. She's got more energy and wants to try out for the girl's basketball team next year.
She's smiling more, too.
"We're not there yet," said Connie Howard, who works at Delta Air Lines' reservation center on Wynn Drive. "We're still struggling as a family.
"But we're on the right road."

Board to round out quiver
Hi everyone,
I need your help deciding what board to purchase as it seems that many members here have experience with multiple boards.
Weight: 160-165 with gear
Boot: 8.5
Riding style: Aggressive freeriding and intermediate park
Age: 25
Budget: none
Your location of riding: Mostly Mammoth Mountain. Would like to take a trip to Jackson Hole this season
My first board was a 2005 NS SL which i regretfully bought as I destroyed it before becoming any good at riding. My second board is a 2007 NS Evo that I bought when I was very into freestyle and was primarily riding at a small local park oriented mountain. The rails have been dramatically beveled and detuned so it really can't hold an edge to carve anymore. My latest board is a 2010 NS F1 Premier that i bought when I started riding at Mammoth more often that I now use for everything except of rails and boxes(mainly out of fears of scratching the base).
I am looking for a board to use at Mammoth on groomers, moguls, and light powder conditions. I'm tired of having to choose either to sacrifice my ability to carve or ride park for everyday riding. I primarily want a board for freeriding that can make long fast carves and well as deep and narrow ones. I enjoy doing jumps of almost any size but don't want a board that is too long that it makes it difficult to spin. I am comfortable boardsliding rails but don't plan on using the board for anything past that. Finally, I am still inexperienced riding pipe so that aspect doesn't really matter to me. I love my F1's RC design with its nimble feel while still being able to load down during carves. In general, I like to use stiffer boots and bindings as I like to have responsive control while riding. Although all of my boards have been NS so far, I don't necessarily have to stick with it for my next board.
Thanks and I hope I my expectations aren't too far fetch.

Otherwise, I'd recommend a TRS seeing that you like R.C. and needs an all around board.

The proto crossed my mind but would it be ideal if I mainly want freeriding performance? The catalog seems to but the proto in the same category as the EVO. I'll be fine with a board that performs average or just slightly above in freestyle. I was leaning towards the heritage but am afraid that it might be too similar to my f1. I was also considering the TRS but I have no experience with libtech boards. I'm not the type of person who can distinguish different performance aspect of a board unless its night and day such as RC vs regular cambered. That and that I have never compared two remotely similar boards side by side. I just right now know the type of riding I want to do and am hoping that someone can help me find a board to fit that.
