When Is It Okay To Leave Your Kids Home Alone?
Last Saturday morning, I did something I've never done before. Something that made me really, really nervous. Something that, in my mind, had the potential to be a complete disaster.
I left my two sons home alone for an hour while I went to the gym.
Okay, half of you are probably rolling your eyes at that sentence right now, but the other half of you are applauding my bravery. Because what I've learned from talking to various friends and acquaintances about leaving kids home alone is that every parent has a completely different comfort zone on when/how/why to do it.
For example, my friend Suzanne told me she and her husband have no problem leaving their kids (ages 7 and 10) unsupervised for a short time while they sneak off to a nearby wine bar. "They're pretty much catatonic when the TV's on anyway," she said. "I don't think they even notice we're not there."
And my Pilates teacher Luanne leaves her sons, who are slightly younger than mine, alone out of necessity when she needs to teach a class and her husband's not home. She knows her oldest son, a fifth-grader, is completely responsible, but she admits to worrying a little about his younger brother who tends to run around and crash into things. Therefore, she's drummed it into the boys' heads to call 911 if there's an emergency, but if it's not that urgent to just call her or a neighbor. (And yes, they've called her a few times during class with a video game dispute.)
But on the flip side, there's also the mom at school who left her kids alone for the first time to run to the grocery store, only to see an ambulance idling in front of her building when she returned home. After a few moments of sheer panic, she realized the EMTs were at another apartment. However, it put such a scare into her that her kids will probably be well in their 20's before they're left home alone again.
And up until last Saturday, I was pretty much right there with her. I've always described myself as "paranoid with a good imagination," so I can easily come up with 10 disastrous scenarios that could befall my kids while I'm standing in line at Starbucks. Logically, I know that they're almost 9 and 11 and very well-behaved kids, that we live in a safe, gated neighborhood and I'll be less than a mile away, but still. I'm always plagued by the eternal question of us worriers: what if?
Marinka, who writes at Motherhood In NYC, is also a paranoid like me, but it actually worked in her favor when she went over various safety scenarios with her tween daughter and found herself having to explain why it was important to just get yourself out in the case of a fire and not try to save the family cat. I hadn't even thought to be that specific with my kids; I just told them to not answer the door under any circumstances and to stay away from all major appliances (which is pretty much the same thing my relaxed parents told me when they sent me off to college), but now I'm going to make sure they know how to handle most unforeseen events that might come up. (Sidenote: One of the oddest things I've seen recently is parents announcing on social media that they're out doing something while their kids are home alone. That just doesn't seem like a good idea to me.)
All that said, the decision to leave your kids alone is obviously a very personal one and depends on factors such as their maturity, their environment and your basic comfort level. As well as other issues like whether you should put the oldest kid in charge and your kids' ability to follow safety rules to the letter. (This article from the US Dept. of Health and Human Services goes over it all very well.) But despite all of my concerns, I have to say that my two boys felt really happy and proud of themselves last Saturday when I came home from the gym and they'd successfully manged to keep themselves and the house intact during my absence. Which I guess is both good and bad news.
Because now I no longer have an excuse to skip the gym on Saturday mornings.
How about you? At what age did you start leaving your children unsupervised and how did it work out?

I just started trying it for short periods and have felt pretty good about it. My kids are the same ages as yours (except there are three of them, including two nine-year-olds). For now it's a daytime deal only, but my husband and I are chomping at the bit for the day when we can dash to the Mexican restaurant on the corner for a Margarita….it will have been so richly earned.

I have a vivid memory of being left home alone in 3rd grade by my own parents, and because I am now perfect I have always tried to hew to their rules. So I was primed and ready to leave the oldest kid home alone then…just not her younger sister. Then the younger one got to third grade and the big question to me – because we live in the Bay Area – was whether they could handle themselves if the Big One hit while I was out. Like Marinka and you, we talked through various scenarios including how to shelter and which neighbor to go to for help, good discussions to have in any case. They've stayed home along together now for three years (they're 14 and 11 now)…but I'm still nervous about going over the Bridge into the city and leaving them in case the Bay Bridge gets shaken into the bay. So I always designate a person in the neighborhood who will take them in, in the event of a quake.
Well, you asked. Sorry for the long answer.

My kids aren't old enough to be left alone yet, but I definitely see it in our future. I was a latchkey kid from second or third grade on. In addition to maturity and environment, I'd say your neighbor situation is a big factor. I had neighbors I knew I could turn to and felt comfortable approaching and they were a big part of the home-alone plan.

My kiddo is only three, so it will definitely be a while before she's staying home alone. However, earlier this year I read Free Range Kids by Lenore Skenazy. She essentially summed up what you're saying about knowing your child's responsibility/maturity levels and teaching them to be safe. Then, let them be. They do have a sense of pride that they can do things on their own and it builds independence, something they'll need when it's time to not live at home anymore. She also recommended laying off the news and crime shows if your imagination is overactive (which is why I don't watch Bones or medical shows because I have an paranoid and active imagination) since those are worst case scenarios that rarely happen. They make news because they are rare.
I don't know at what age my child will be trusted to stay home alone, but I do look forward to when she hits that age and maturity level that she can do that.

At around 10 my daughter started asking when she could stay alone. I was *so* not ready for that, but she thought she was. The funny thing is, I have a hard time seeing her as "responsible" but not long after some friends remarked to me how mature she is. I knew some other kids had been home by themselves for an hour or so after school starting as early as 3rd grade, but we didn't have to so I hadn't ever considered it. So….
We started with just trips to the grocery store. An hour or less, less than a mile, and went through some scenarios – dont answer the door, don't shush the dog, don't answer the phone unless it's me. She did fine. Of course.
She just turned 11. A few weeks ago I needed to be gone in the evening. I asked if she would be comfortable being at home by herself around dinner time for an hour. It was going to be getting dark, and she said she wasn't comfortable, so our "sitter" (we're not allowed to call her that anymore) came and they had a blast.
It won't be long, and I remember wanting my independence, too. I am looking for some Babysitting and First Aid classes for her, just to make myself more comfortable. It's all what we're ready for!!

My children are adults now, but I think I left my oldest home alone at about 12, then the next year, when they were 10 and 13, left them home together.
Angel Sep 21 at 10:44 am Reply
My son is just about 4 so I have a while until he's home alone. I was proably around 10 when I was left home alone. by the time I was 13 I was babysitting 3 or 4 kids at a time regularly.
try a local Red Cross for Babysittng classes for your daughter.

I stayed home alone, during daylight, for an hour or two at a time, probably from about age 8. The crazy thing is that I started babysitting at age 11 for the neighbors' three kids, the youngest age 6 WEEKS! I'm sure my mom was home in case something happened, but now as a parent I can't imagine letting a preteen stay alone with my baby! I think I was probably pretty mature, and, as others have said, context (neighbors, time of day) is important, too.

While right now I consider being alone in a room without destroying it while I pee a big accomplishment, my kid is one.
I stayed home alone for an hour or so after school starting in 2nd grade. There was an apple sliced for me in the fridge and Rescue Rangers on TV and I was pretty "cool" with hanging out. We had awesome neighbors (the kind where you give them your house keys when you are going out of town, as they drop you off at the airport) so I knew I could always run to them if anything was strange.
But my younger brother didn't stay home alone like that till 5th grade. Just didn't work for him and my parents. I think it totally depends on the kid. I remember having baby sitters in middle school, when i was baby sitting myself because the dynamic just needed an outside presence .

I was left home alone when I was about 10. Which was fine but I was also left to take care of my younger brothers, 9&6 -9 year old with a developmental delay. It was a lot of responsibility and it wasn't like we were just hanging out and playing. I had to keep a constant watch on my brother and he was also autistic. It made our youngest brother too independent at too young an age and me overly parentified. It was tough.

I was pretty much left alone since I was about 4, I was allowed to be in the backyard by myself (which had a pretty big pond that I could have drowned in). There was someone somewhere in the house but they weren't watching me. If I was thirsty I got a chair to climb on the counter and get myself a glass of water, I was very self sufficient. By kindergarten I was allowed to stay home by myself all the time and I played outside by myself till it was 9 @ night I was with friends but no adults were present. You might be thinking I had the worst mom ever….not far from that but I really believe not being hounded and told what to do and think all day really made me a hell of a lot more mature than others my age. If allowed children can be responsible and take care of them selves. Now I'm 21 and I'm married and in the process of buying a house and the 21 year olds I know are still figuring stuff out since they had no time to really think for themselves. I feel ahead of the game and I think it's because I was allowed to just be me by myself so much.

I was 12 when I was left at home by myself but my mom didn't really 100% trust me even though I was a really good kid & finally she fully trusted me when I was 13. It's how they act & stuff, ur'll know when u can trust the fully.

Recipe Comments
I made homemade whipped cream and I want to know something else I can make that will go with it. Something preferably cold or cool and that will last awhile. I am thinking some sort of desert but I don't really want to make ice cream or hot cocoa.
I just made mini chocolate cakes and found that they would taste better with some whipped cream. I have no heavy cream, and I can't go to the store to get some. Is it possible to make it without it? If so, whats the recipe?
Im doing a cooking project for shakespear day and one of my questions was…compare the level of difficulty you would have prepareing the recipe versus tne amount of difficulty someone in the elizabethan times would have had
here is the recipe for an english trifle
1 Sara Lee pound cake (10.75 oz), thawed
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
1 cup coarsely broken Amaretti (about 16 cookies)
1/4 cup Triple Sec
2 pkgs (3.125 oz) vanilla Jello Cook 'n Serve Pudding and Pie Filling
4 cups milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups heavy or whipping cream, cold
3 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
3/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
Candied red cherries or fresh berries for garnish
Cut the cake into 1/4-inch slices and spread out flat on a surface to dry for several hours. Spread a thin layer of the jam on half the cake slices. Top with the remaining cake slices. Cut the cake sandwiches into 1-inch cubes and scatter in a large glass bowl.
Add the Amaretti crumbs and toss together. Sprinkle with the Triple Sec and toss to coat.
Prepare the pudding mixes, using the milk, according to package directions. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla. Let cool completely.
Pour half the cooled custard over the cake mixture.
Whip the cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and almond extract and continue beating until stiff. Spoon half of the whipped cream over the top of the custard. Layer the remaining half of the custard over the whipping cream. Add a second layer of whipped cream decoratively over the top of the custard.
Scatter the almonds over the top. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to serve, up to 3 days.
Spoon the trifle into glass bowls and garnish with candied cherries or fresh fruit.
Notes: Any favorite liqueur such as Grand Marnier, Amaretto, etc. may be substituted for the Triple Sec. To substitute for the pudding, Bird's Imported English Dessert Mix makes an easy, excellent custard low in fat. Make custard according to package directions using 5 tablespoons dessert mix, 5 tablespoons sugar and 4 cups of milk.
This recipe is adapted from The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook recipe, "Olde English Trifle."
Makes 10-12 servings

The International Security Advisory Board (ISAB) is requested to undertake a study of a potential architecture for enhanced international cooperation in promoting a peaceful, secure, and open cyberspace environment. Malicious activities in cyberspace are becoming more frequent, sophisticated and costly in the damage they inflict on governments, business, and society. While the United States seeks to retain the openness of the Internet, its efforts to achieve a global common understanding of the norms of acceptable state behavior in cyberspace face resistance from countries that desire to regulate Internet governance and increase state control of cyberspace, including its content, in the name of security. In seeking solutions to transnational cybersecurity issues, an alternative to a "one-world" strategy developed and carried out by all actors is a coalition of like-minded states that affirm common norms of state behavior and cooperate to build confidence and capacity in the cybersecurity realm. A third option is developing regional mechanisms and organizations to accomplish these goals.
It would be of great assistance if the ISAB could examine and assess:
During its conduct of the study, the ISAB, as it deems necessary, may expand on the tasks listed above. I request that you complete the study in 270 days.
Completed work should be submitted to the ISAB Executive Directorate no later than April 2014.
The Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security will sponsor the study. The Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Verification and Compliance will support the study. Jane Purcell will serve as the Executive Secretary for the study and Chris Herrick will represent the ISAB Executive Directorate.
The study will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of P.L. 92-463, the "Federal Advisory Committee Act." If the ISAB establishes a working group to assist in its study, the working group must present its report of findings to the full ISAB for consideration in a formal meeting, prior to presenting the report or findings to the Department.

Poe, Edgar Allan: Complete Works | v.1.0 | 10 Jun 2012
This volume collects the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe (
). It started out as a restructuring and reformatting of the 1903 "Raven Edition" of his works—and then it grew.
I have rearranged the texts according to genres in the order of first publications (though still using the later revised versions). I added all the stories, poems, essays, and some miscellanea that were missing in the "Raven Edition". Thus, you'll find in this collection:
Metzengerstein, The Duc de L'omelette, A Tale of Jerusalem, Loss of Breath, Bon-Bon, Ms. Found in a Bottle, The Assignation, Berenice, Morella, Lionizing, The Unparalleled Adventures of One Hans Pfaal, King Pest, Shadow—A Parable, Four Beasts in One—The Homo-Cameleopard, Mystification, Silence—A Fable, Ligeia, How to Write a Blackwood Article, A Predicament, The Devil in the Belfry, The Man that Was Used Up, The Fall of the House of Usher, William Wilson, The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion, Why the Little Frenchman Wears his Hand in a Sling, The Business Man, The Man of the Crowd, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, A Descent into the Maelström, The Island of the Fay, The Colloquy of Monos and Una, Never Bet the Devil Your Head, Eleonora, Three Sundays in a Week, The Oval Portrait, The Masque of the Red Death, The Landscape Garden, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Gold-Bug, The Black Cat, Diddling, The Spectacles, A Tale of the Ragged Mountains, The Premature Burial, Mesmeric Revelation, The Oblong Box, The Angel of the Odd, Thou Art the Man, The Literary Life of Thingum Bob, Esq, The Purloined Letter, The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade, Some Words with a Mummy, The Power of Words, The Imp of the Perverse, The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar, The Sphinx, The Cask of Amontillado, The Domain of Arnheim, Mellonta Tauta, Hop-Frog, Von Kempelen and his Discovery, X-ing a Paragrab, Landor's Cottage.

Autography, Marginalia, The Literati, Fifty Suggestions.
The collection starts with the three introductory texts from the "Raven Edition", but does not (yet) contain Poe's letters, his literary criticism (apart from 'The Literati') or the minor Miscellanea.
I have checked and reformatted the texts, with special classes for poems, subtitles, section breaks, etc. Fonts are embedded for the greek words, which I have restored in case they were missing. The quotes are curly now, the footnotes are active, previously missing images are back in the texts, and at the end of each title is a period, of course (You're welcome, Prestidigitweeze). Dates of first publication are given at the end of the texts.
There are the usual tables of contents for the whole collection and the separate sections, links at the end of each text/chapter to bring you back to the ToCs, and alphabetical indexes for stories, poems, and essays, so you can easily find everything you're looking for.

From cakemakers' stories to wedding inspiration to cool new products, we want to share a few of our favorite finds with you every week. This week we were impressed by sweet ballerina teddy bears, chic floral arrangements and Sesame Street-inspired designs. Here are this week's Friday Faves!
Jackie's Faves- CEO of Cake Central Media Corp.
This pink ballerina bear cake by riky is so sweet! The little bears are simply adorable, and I just love that pink bow.
Leanne's Faves- President of Cake Central Media Corp.
I love the subtle use of color and the shabby-chic appeal of this sweet cake by Artful Bakery.
Alyssa's Faves- Associate Editor of Cake Central Magazine
This woodland-inspired cake by My SweetArt has totally captured my inner child! I love all of the whimsical creatures and details— especially the big-eyed bugs and the cute chipmunk munching on acorns.
Kari's Faves- Associate Editor of Cake Central Magazine
At Cake Central we love a cake for a cause, and this artfully crafted Sesame Street Cake by devolicakes quickly caught my eye. Who wouldn't be impressed by the detailed figurines and creative design of this playful cake?
Grace's Faves- Associate Editor of Cake Central Magazine
It took me about five seconds to choose my Friday Fave this week. As I've said before, I'm a huge fan of complementary colors, so sunnydayz's "retro aqua and coral" cake was utterly eye-catching to me. I love the use of both square and round tiers, and the way sunnydayz mixes a geometric pattern with classic elements like pearls and flowers.

RELATIONSIHP WITH PLANO TO INCLUDE FRABILL Plano, IL (February 1, 2013) – A custom fit? You bet… Think of it as a pair of shoes crafted by a tenured cobbler. When Plano acquired Frabill in 2012 it was a perfect pairing. So it was only a matter of time before cream-of-the-crop professional anglers associated with Plano—the leader in tackle storage solutions—were meshed with Frabill—the industry's most respected name in landing nets and raingear.
Touring bass pro Mark Rose is one of those crossovers.
"Getting sponsored by Frabill feels natural," says Rose, a longtime resident of Marion, Arkansas. "Like Plano, they're a brand that anglers can trust. From top-quality extreme-weather raingear to premium landing nets, Frabill's got it all. And with both companies invested in the FLW Tour, it was a natural match. I'm pumped about this new alliance."
Rose—a devout practitioner of the three most significant "F's" in life: faith, family and fishing—has been fishing professionally for more than 13 years. In 2012, he captured the crown on Decatur, Alabama's Wheeler Lake, and has earned 6 FLW Tour wins since starting in the bass-fishing business. All told, Rose has landed over $1.6 million career earnings.
Rose, a Baptist Deacon back home in Marion, recently received the prestigious, inaugural "Sportsmanship/Leadership Award," an honor presented by both the FLW and Goodwill. And in 2013, Rose became a proof-positive face of all things fishing for Walmart, as he joins the Walmart Fishing Team.
For years, Rose has been influential in perfecting Plano products. His insights into bass fishing will undoubtedly serve Frabill as the trusted brand expands its species-specific lineup of landing nets and broadens its premium raingear offerings.
| PLANO FISHINGA tradition of excellence. Owning a Plano® tackle box has become a heritage that has endured for more than half a century. In 1952, Plano introduced the first molded plastic tackle box. For the next fifty years, the Plano brand found its way into the hearts and hands of four generations. Today, there's a 4 in 5 chance that if you own a tackle box, it was made by Plano. There are many reasons why consumers choose Plano, including quality, durability and innovation, but our favorite is "It's what my dad always used."
Frabill, Inc. (Jackson, Wis.) is in its 75th year of engineering premium, trusted fishing equipment. Frabill's ice fishing product lineup consists of portable ice fishing shelters, rod and reel combos, tip-ups, bait containers, portable aeration, and premium ice fishing apparel, including FXE Snosuit. Openwater products include landing nets, portable aeration, bait containers, bait care, bait traps and seines, accessories, and premium openwater apparel, such as FXE Stormsuit.

About Michael Jordan
History and background of Michael Jordan. By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. Although, a summary of his basketball career and influence on the game inevitably fails to do it justice, as a phenomenal athlete with a unique combination of grace, speed, power, artistry, improvisational ability and an unquenchable competitive desire, Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar.

Day 9 in the journey of me...
View DIANA806's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from DIANA806
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Here I am once again, showered and almost ready for bed. I was just in the shower thinking about my day and thinking about me. I like caring about me and thinking about me. I noticed and this may sound odd, that I started tending more to myself. Let me explain. I started shaving my legs every other day or so. I painted my nails and my toes and repainted them today after my Zumba. I started lotioning my whole body, in front of a full length mirror....and looking and not making the gagging sounds. I don't want my big ole fat belly anymore, but I decided while I was lotioning that I wasn't going to hate it either. I am not going to hate any part of me. I am going to tweak and fix parts not hate. That is huge, I mean huge for me. Not to hate me or my parts. I realize this process is going to take some work, but every single time I go to say something negative about me at work or home or with friends I am going to try like heck to stop me and say something good. Like check out my ass, it's getting harder... or something. I can't hate me anymore. I will not. I am not so bad, I am a good mom, a hard worker, a good wife, a good cook and housekeeper. I am good and dang it I need to love me. So yeah, that was me trying to tell myself that, I may need to say that over and over and over again, I'll eventually believe it. A work in progress. That is for sure.
So food intake was good, I rocked that out and I did my Zumba again, I'm loving the sweaty Zumba and then did my butt exercises. All in all a good day.
HEY DIANA>>>>>>I LOVE YOU....till next time...
Just keep swimming.

text: Hi I have some decals under the clearcoat of my aluminum bike frame. I want to make it simple and just plain aluminum. The decals are only on part of the toptube so I was wondering what is the best way to remove them. Should I just wet sand the portion of the toptube and remove the decals then reapply clear coat? or do I have to remove all the clearcoat then reapply? If anyone has info to help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The sale would have given Jones 160 acres of mountainous land near a ski area in Ogden Valley for a hunting ranch.
A group of hunters, hikers and horse riders sued Weber County, saying Rulon Jones got a plum, no-bid deal with no public notice, paying $200 an acre for land worth ten times as much.
Jones called it Broadmouth Canyon Ranch. He ran into trouble with building, fire and tax officials for not having proper permits for a commercial building.

Paradigm Opportunity Protects Investors in Tough Times
(MW), which he purchased below book value in August 2010. Shares of the company are up nearly 50% over the past year, well outpacing the broader market as well as the Russell 2000 Index."You saw a little bit of a slight improvement in the economy coupled with a fashion upgrade cycle in men's wear," Ronovech says. "They made the right moves during the recession to reposition the business in a new environment. When you saw just a little bit of an improvement in demand in 2011, the sales were up substantially. They picked up market share." Small-cap stocks have been outperforming in 2012, a sharp turnaround from 2011. After falling 4.2% in 2011, the Russell 2000 is up more than 11% this year, outpacing the S&P 500 Index of the largest U.S. companies. As such, Ronovech's fund has risen sharply, with the net asset value climbing from a low of $25.14 on Jan. 4 to a high of $27.89 set on Feb. 16. The bounce in small caps is troubling to Ronovech, however. He notes that major structural problems, such as the European debt crisis, is still unresolved. Instead, stocks have been running higher on very accommodative central bank activity, which has provided a significant amount of liquidity and stimulus to the system. That's causing people to move back into the riskier assets like small-cap stocks. "With that type of environment as a fundamental value investor, you get a little cautious as valuations move up substantially without any real change in the underlying fundamentals. We're certainly more keenly focused on the risk side of things."Ronovech stayed the course and focused on the investment process that had produced positive returns over previous time periods. "There wasn't any real material changes in terms of portfolio strategy or positioning," he says. "Based on our conversations with companies through that time period and what we saw on a micro level, you weren't seeing the panic or concern that existed on the macro level. So while it was frustrating that the market and small caps were selling off, it was a compelling time as an investor to get excited and see the disconnect." One such example of Ronovech's successful stock picking was his bet on Men's Wearhouse

Not sure that Adirondack Adventure (AA) is for you? Not from the Northeast? Not been camping much? Can't decide which trip to do? If any of these apply to you, the first thing is not to worry. Thousands of kids who have never camped before have done AA and enjoyed themselves. Kids who have never been to the U.S. find themselves on AA the second day off the plane. If you want our best advice about which trip to take, go on a canoe trip. They're very social trips, you get to paddle with different people every day, and canoeing is fun! If you want a hardcore trip, try the triple combo trips, but don't be intimidated, we're not out to do special forces training on anyone.
While all trips are different, here's an idea of a typical day on a mild or medium trip.
The trips fall into the following categories:
There are eight trips that are purely hiking. Most trips follow roughly the same format. On the first day, you hike into a campsite or lean-to and set up a basecamp. The remainder of the trip is spent hiking nearby mountains carrying only what you need for the day. Others are point-to-point trips, which have shorter total mileage but will mean carrying a full pack most of the time.
All seven boat trips take place on flat or moving water (no whitewater involved). Many students who choose to canoe have never been in a boat before, or if they have, it was on a sixth-grade trip where they had grapes for lunch and some kid was sick on the bus home. There is plenty of time to learn, and the daily mileage is not unreasonable for beginners. Most of these trips also include a day hike up a nearby mountain, just so you don't spend the whole time sitting down.
The ever-popular combination trips have been refined over the years to give one of the best Adirondack experiences possible. All choices have two trips which start at either end of the route and work towards each other. When they meet in the middle, backpacks are switched for canoes and vice versa, and each trip continues on (except the triple combo - go to the page for more details on this burly trip).
This trip begins at Chapel Pond, on the outskirts of Keene Valley and will camp close by at a state-run campsite. We'll go over everything you need to know, so don't worry if you're a first-time climber. In fact, if you're a strong (5.8 or higher) or experienced climber, this is not the trip for you. There will be plenty of other chances to meet climbers and crank the hard stuff when the climbing wall opens.
There are two sea kayaking trips, and both travel approximately the same distance, about 25 miles.
Making its glorious return to pre-orientation is the Bike Trip. Roll right down College Hill Road on your bike and make the scenic trip directly into the heart of the Adirondacks. Make sure you look up from your handlebars as the landscape changes and the mountains surround you. Camping near Piseco Lake and Blue Mountain Lake, the trip travels 125 miles over 4 days from campus to Raquette Lake.
Options will include swimming in some of the lakes we pass to relieve tired legs!
You must have your own bike, helmet, shorts and gloves. This is a spicy but doable trip for those who like to bike 30-40 miles a day. Mountain bikes will work if you change your knobbly tires for slicks. Please call the office if you need advice.
Check out one of our sister programs, Outreach Adventure (OA), for other great trips that go out at the same time as AA. USE has just changed its name to Outreach Adventure so don't be confused if our literature uses these two names to mean the same thing; we're working on editing all of our pages. These trips are focused in and around the City of Utica, with groups staying indoors and working with direct service organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and the food kitchen at Hope House.
Check out one of our sister programs, Exploration Adventure (XA), for other great trips that go out at the same time as AA. Exploration Adventure (XA) is the latest addition to Hamilton's orientation trips (OA and AA). XA trips are theme- or subject-based while sharing the same goal of OA and AA to create a small-group bonding experience for incoming students. Each trip is led by two student leaders, and many will be facilitated in part by a Hamilton faculty member or administrator.

Comgas Adopts a Service-Oriented Architecture Approach to Meet Retail Marketing Needs
This case study provides an insight into how Comgas worked along with Oracle to adopt a service-oriented architecture approach, in order to meet its retail marketing requirements. Comgas, the abbreviated form of Companhia de Gas de Sao Paulo S.A., was founded one hundred and thirty seven years ago and is the largest distributor of natural gas in Brazil. The company caters to its clients in Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) - industry, commercial, residential and thermo generation markets. It distributes over four billion cubic meters of natural gas to sixty seven municipalities in the Sao Paulo state. The paper goes on to detail various challenges faced by it in its day-to-day operations and how it worked along with Oracle to overcome these challenges. Some of them include incorporation more specific IT functionalities in order to support its marketing campaigns and retail business model and increment in IT speed and adaptableness to facilitate smooth business operations while ensuring comprehensive control with the help of a standardized business process management solution. Another problem was establishment of a user-friendly and single corporate communications channel that can be used for both customers and internal users for extraction of information along with easier data exchange with contractors. The paper mentions various solutions offered by Oracle to overcome these challenges and how both the entities work together to achieve that.

Your Secret Weight Loss Weapon, The Food Journal
By: Kevin Hensel |
Weight Loss
Studies show that a food journal doesn't just aid weight loss - it turbo-charges it. When researchers from Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research followed more than 2,000 dieters who were encouraged to record meals and snacks, they found that the single best predictor of whether a participant would drop weight was whether the person kept a food diary.

Periodic pattern can result in wet winter, damaging waves
The U.S. Climate Prediction Center has issued an El Niño watch, saying there is a 50 percent chance the periodic climate change phenomenon will develop during the second half of this year.
An El Niño can cause above-average rainfall during the winter months and generate potentially damaging waves along the coast.
Sea-surface conditions are currently neutral in the equatorial Pacific, where El Niño and the drier weather change known as La Niña are born. But the climate center said in a Thursday advisory that above-average sea temperatures in the tropical Pacific indicate that the ocean will continue to warm, possibly spurring El Niño.
Scientists said conditions should remain neutral during early summer. But the climate center also said, "Thereafter, most of the dynamical models predict El Niño to develop during July-August and September, while the statistical models tend to favor the continuation of (status quo). ... Thus, there remains uncertainty as to ... the second half of the year."
El Niños, which vary in strength, represent a mixed message for Southern California.
During the winter, the phenomenon can reduce or virtually eliminate the threat of wildfires. But heavy rains also cause vegetation to flourish. Some of that vegetation later dries out and adds to a region's wildfire danger.
An El Niño doesn't always lead to significantly above-average rain. And a La Niña does not always result in below-average precipitation. Scientists aren't even sure how much either system affects short-term climate and weather.
A La Niña existed last winter. San Diego's Lindbergh Field is expected to finish the rainfall year on June 30 with below-average precipitation.

344 Tasting Notes
I have returned from sunny warm climes of Santa Barbara!
Holy carp it's cold. Brrrr. I'm seriously regretting getting on that plane yesterday. I could have pitched a tent on the beach, right, after my friend got tired of me and kicked me out of his house?
On the brightside, my Black Friday order from Harney & Sons was waiting for me, and I tore into it today. I contemplated my choices and grabbed the SoHo blend for a nice, warm, filling cup of tea on a winter's day in the DC area. (Granted, it's relatively warm for a winter's day, but it's cold enough I still couldn't feel my fingers.)
Lovely. Pure bliss. It's chocolately, nutty, and delicious. A perfect winter's cup of tea.
Flavors: Chocolate, Nuts
Okay, I owe this tea an apology. It turns out that the awful taste that I first experienced was not the tea's fault – instead, it was lovely Santa Barbara's water, which is all sorts of foul tasting.
I had a different tea, which I knew should not have tasted oily and evil, but did. So I switched from the tap water to bottled filtered stuff to brew tea. And magically, the tea stopped tasting awful.
It's still bagged tea so the quality is nowhere near what a loose hojicha would be, but it's decent, and caffeinated, and doesn't make me want to gag because it tastes like sweet oil.
Seriously, what the heck is up with the tap water here?
This is the weirdest hojicha I've had. It doesn't taste like hojicha.
I'm currently visiting a friend in Santa Barbara and we went grocery shopping. He asked what I have for breakfast, and I responded – naturally – "tea." The selection of tea wasn't great – mostly bagged, though I later discovered there was some loose stuff toward the front but by that point I was fine with the lone box of Choice I grabbed. I'd had good luck with their bagged tea in the past, but this one was… ugh.
I'm not sure what was wrong with it. It just tasted so off. It was oily, and did not taste pleasant at all. Hopefully I can sneak into a store later and get something better. And a strainer – the man does not own one.
I found this when I rummaged through my tea cupboard. I can't remember if I had drunk this before and not reviewed it, or if it has just languished. (NTS: drink from stash and stop buying tea.)
This is a nice black tea. Smooth, a bit smokey, a little sweet. Very nice.
While cleaning out the tea cupboard I found a tiny ziploc baggie of this I had saved for some unknown reason. I had once upon a time the gigantic tin of this stuff, bought from the Middle Eastern market, back when I was just slowly getting into loose teas. I gave the tin away but apparently had kept a bag for some reason.
Well, suffice it to say that I have well and truly become a tea snob. Because I'm sorely tempted to dump this mug into the sink and toss the rest of the tea.
Sometime in the past year, I remember getting into it with a friend of a friend on Twitter (really, will I never learn?) who was vehemently offended that there are people who will pay more than $1/oz for loose tea, because – as he said – the stuff he got from Ahmad in the giant ass tin was good enough for him.
Oh, how I laugh now. Because honestly, this tea is not even in the same league as the other earl greys I have in my cupboard. The bergamot is very faint, the tea base is a bit rough, and the taste is closer to Lipton than to earl grey.
I got a small sample of this tea from the vendor when I purchased some other tea at the Philadelphia Coffee & Tea Festival. This tea is divine. I don't get much subtlety in flavor but it's soothing and perfect for a cold November day when it's snowing outside. Savory, smooth. Lovely.
It resteeps amazingly well.
I had some of this last night while over at some friends' for dinner. It was nice. Pleasant, light, but I think I didn't let the water heat up enough before I stopped the kettle (I have a glass kettle and can see when the water is just about to boil. They had a metal one.) because it wasn't very strong. I think if I get the chance, I'll have this again and steep it better.
I'm finally sitting down with a cup of this. I had bought a tin from the Philadelphia Coffee & Tea Festival and liked it well enough. However, brewed the way I like to brew tea (lower temp and longer steeping time), it is so lovely. Savory, with hints of smoke, a depth of flavor that I love. Rolling it on my tongue, just a smidge of sour/acridness but very faint.
So lovely. Definitely try this if you love black tea.
I've been wanting to try this for a while and I snagged a bag from the last TTB that came through. It's good. It's darker than a traditional Earl Grey, the bergamot is more subtle and works really well with the dark – almost smoky – flavor of the tea. YUM. I wish this was available loose.

Gopher tortoise species thrives in post's sandy soil
November 13, 2009
By Cheryl Rodewig, The Bayonet
Story Highlights
- Conservation Branch protects species with training guidelines, construction restrictions
- Fort Benning protects gopher tortoise
FORT BENNING, Ga. - From 2,500 to 3,000 gopher tortoises call Fort Benning home. This particular tortoise is recognized in Georgia as a threatened species and thrives in the state's coastal plains, including Fort Benning with its areas of sandy soil, ideal for burrowing, said Mark Thornton, endangered species biologist for the Conservation Branch, Environmental Management Division.
A threatened species is one step away from an endangered species in terms of its danger of extinction, Thornton said.
On post, the tortoises are found mainly on the northern two thirds of the installation, including training areas such as Brittin Range, where gas chamber training is conducted.
All basic trainees are briefed about the tortoise before entering the area, said SFC Robert Frank, master trainer for General Subjects Platoon, A Company, 2nd Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment, which has oversight of the range.
"We are aware they're out there," he said. "We're training 200 Soldiers, averaging six days a week. Almost every day there is going to be (gas) chamber (training) out on Brittin Range."
Mission comes first, Frank said, but protecting the threatened species doesn't conflict with mission. Soldiers are instructed to leave any turtles or burrows alone and alert a cadre member.
"It is their habitat. They were here before us," he said. "We're just trying to conserve their environment, so that way they can continue to grow. I think if we protect the environment, they can make a comeback."
The animals are usually safe from Soldiers on foot since they spend most of their time underground, except during the breeding season from April to June, Thornton said. Training restrictions, such as prohibiting vehicles within 50 feet of a known burrow, protect the species.
In regards to Maneuver Center related construction, Conservation Branch officials try to remove the tortoises before construction, but if one is spotted after it starts, they're called in to pick up the animal, he said.
Gopher tortoises are relocated to fenced areas on Fort Benning until they establish new burrows; then the fences are taken down, Thornton said.
"The biggest problem with the gopher tortoise is loss of habitat," he said. "They love these high sandy soil areas and people love to put subdivisions on them, and that is what has caused the tortoise to become rare."
Because the species lives so long - more than 60 years, with one in 100 eggs surviving to adulthood - Thornton said they don't yet know if the population is growing or stable. However, they do know installations like Fort Benning, Fort Stewart, Ga., and Fort Rucker, Ala., have large populations of tortoises.
"There's a significant portion of the species on military installations," he said. "What the Army does can make a difference toward the recovery of that species. Being proactive with the management of the species could prevent it from becoming an endangered species."
Because of its burrows, which provide homes for various amphibians, insects and reptiles, the gopher tortoise is a keystone species. Its loss could directly influence scarcity of other animals, Thornton said.
Until now, the Conservation Branch has focused on protecting the species, he said, but it's moving toward "more intensive monitoring" to gather more data about the growth of the tortoise population.

Nail Diseases
Nail Abnormalities: Clues to Systemic Disease - Article
ABSTRACT: The visual appearance of the fingernails and toenails may suggest an underlying systemic disease. Clubbing of the nails often suggests pulmonary disease or inflammatory bowel disease. Koilonychia, or "spoon-shaped" nails, may stimulate a work-up for hemochromatosis or anemia. In the absence of trauma or psoriasis, onycholysis should prompt a search for symptoms of hyperthyroidism. The finding of Beau's lines may indicate previous severe illness, trauma, or exposure to cold temperatures in patients with Raynaud's disease. In patients with Muehrcke's lines, albumin levels should be checked, and a work-up done if the level is low. Splinter hemorrhage in patients with heart murmur and unexplained fever can herald endocarditis. Patients with telangiectasia, koilonychia, or pitting of the nails may have connective tissue disorders.
Acute and Chronic Paronychia - Article
ABSTRACT: Paronychia is an inflammation of the folds of tissue surrounding the nail of a toe or finger. Paronychia may be classified as either acute or chronic. The main factor associated with the development of acute paronychia is direct or indirect trauma to the cuticle or nail fold. This enables pathogens to inoculate the nail, resulting in infection. Treatment options for acute paronychia include warm compresses; topical antibiotics, with or without corticosteroids; oral antibiotics; or surgical incision and drainage for more severe cases. Chronic paronychia is a multifactorial inflammatory reaction of the proximal nail fold to irritants and allergens. The patient should avoid exposure to contact irritants; treatment of underlying inflammation and infection is recommended, using a combination of a broad-spectrum topical antifungal agent and a corticosteroid. Application of emollient lotions may be beneficial. Topical steroid creams are more effective than systemic antifungals in the treatment of chronic paronychia. In recalcitrant chronic paronychia, en bloc excision of the proximal nail fold is an option. Alternatively, an eponychial marsupialization, with or without nail removal, may be performed.

DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) - A team of international police officers that had been due to visit the site of the Malaysian plane disaster in eastern Ukraine canceled the trip Sunday after receiving reports of fighting in the area.
Alexander Hug, the deputy head of a monitoring team from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said it would be too dangerous for the unarmed mission to travel to the area from its current location in the rebel-held city of Donetsk.
It was not immediately clear where precisely clashes had broken out.
Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 was shot down with a surface-to-air missile over a part of eastern Ukraine controlled by pro-Russian separatists last week, killing all 298 people on board. U.S. and Ukrainian officials say it was shot down by a missile from rebel territory, most likely by mistake.

DALLAS (AP) - Southwest Airlines is expanding its schedule again.
Dallas-based Southwest today announced it will be adding 33 nonstop flights involving 26 cities. The list includes new nonstop service between:
-- Baltimore-Washington and Pittsburgh
-- Cleveland and Orlando, Florida
-- Dallas Love Field and Birmingham, Alabama
-- and between Reno/Lake Tahoe and San Diego.
Some of the new flights begin March eleventh, while the rest take effect by April 15th. Southwest for years fought the restrictive Wright Amendment. President Bush last month signed into law a measure lifting some of those long-haul flight rules at Love Field.
The law allows immediate one-stop flights and, by 2014, unrestricted nonstops.

What is Community Integrated Pest Management?
Successfully controlling insects, diseases, weeds, and rodents in
- Homes
- Workplaces
- Public Areas
Just what is Integrated Pest Management?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the application of an interconnected set of methods for managing pests, including pest prevention techniques, pest monitoring methods, biological controls, pest attractants and repellents, biopesticides, and pesticides.
Community IPM is people-related. It includes managing pests in yards, homes, schools, industrial workplaces, downtown office buildings, and wherever pests that affect public health are found. It also applies to pests of park and recreational areas, some of which lie outside densely populated areas.
Although pesticide use is not eliminated in community pest management, measures other than pesticides are implemented first. When pesticides are needed, IPM seeks to use natural or biological substances or those that are the least toxic to humans and other nontarget organisms.
IPM focuses on long-term prevention or suppression of pest problems with minimum impact on human health and the environment.
Is it something I can use at home?
Community integrated pest management is successfully practiced today in a variety of settings by people ranging from pest control and landscape professionals to home gardeners to office complex workers. The adoption of community IPM practices is on the rise as pests become resistant to pesticides, environmental awareness increases, and research unearths effective and economical alternatives to pesticides.
Tell me more. Who uses it?
School Districts...
Many school districts in New York State have initiated pest management policies that curtail the use of pesticides and stress the adoption of IPM methods. IPM practices in schools can be instituted in classrooms, on playing fields, in cafeterias, and in grounds maintenance departments. Effective IPM measures are often undertaken in conjunction with professional pest control operators working on a contract basis.
Local Municipalities...
Local governments use IPM practices to reduce pesticide use in parks, office buildings, recreational areas, and on public property. Several towns and villages have restricted, and in some cases eliminated, the use of pesticides through local ordinances.
Utilities have implemented IPM strategies in office buildings, the grounds around office buildings, and on rights-of-way.
New York State Facilities and Institutions...
Many counties, towns, and villages, as well as New York State, are dealing with problems related to pesticide use. Some have restricted or eliminated the use of pesticides in favor of IPM practices. The list of facilities and institutions affected by reduced pesticide use regulations includes parks, golf courses and recreational areas, hospitals, group homes, the SUNY system, office buildings, highway rights-of-way, museums, housing projects, court buildings, waterways and watersheds, and correctional facilities.
Private Homes...
Approximately 26 million households applied a pesticide during 1992. Homeowners and apartment-dwellers can use IPM practices indoors to battle kitchen, bath, fabric, and wood pests. Outdoors, IPM practices reduce pesticide reliance in lawns and gardens. In addition, IPM practices can be used to reduce damage by deer and other vertebrates.
Business and Industry...
IPM practices are becoming more common among manufacturing facilities, retailers, banks, office complexes, hotels, motels, warehouses, restaurants, food producers, and others doing business in New York. IPM practices in these organizations can be used to reduce pesticide use for structural, public health, and outdoor pests.
For more information regarding IPM for facilities, institutions, and homes, contact your local Cornell Cooperative Extension office, listed in the telephone book under either "Cornell Cooperative Extension" or the name of your county.

electrical problems for 2006 impala
I have a 2006 Chevrolet impala has a problem shifting .I had a lot of people look at it and they said it was a electrical problem.
2 Answers
Sleepy - We need more information. What RPM does this occur? How many is a lot of people? Who are these people (certified mechanics?)? How did they determine it was electrical?
Shifting is accomplished by electronic solenoids inside the transmission. The solenoids are computer controlled and, unfortunately, prone to failure. First, check your transmission fluid level. While doing this inspect the fluid on the dipstick. If it's burnt as evidenced by a dark red or brown color you'll want to change the fluid. If the fluid level is ok you'll want to take it to a reputable transmission shop or Chevy dealer for proper diagnosis. I suspect a remanufactured transmission is in your future. HTH. -Jim

Is it possible to have "32 bit operating system" running on "64 bit processor" ?
What happens when I target my runtime in .net to x-64 and my OS is 32 bit ?
One more to add "by the way what is meant by 32 bit OS (vs 32 bit processor)" ?
Yes; the x64 processor is just an extension of x86, which is a 32-bit processor.
It will not run.
It means the OS contains code for running on a 32-bit processor.
