Its Great For The PriceI wasn't going to post a review, as it was just so-so. There are better options. But those options are pricier. However, if this is your budget, this is a really great flat iron for this price range. In fact, I don't think you will find any better than this. It straightens perfectly, hair feels silky, heats up fast, and it has ions. It does feel cheaply made, which I did not like, but that also means is very lightweight. The on/off switch was basic, the heat adjustment was basic (didn't play around with that), and can't comment much on how it performs on lower settings. Only used it on highest heat. Overall though, I would have been ecstatic had I used this instead of my Chi when I first got it, hands down, no comparison. And I paid over $200 for it like 6 years ago (yeah, I got ripped off). Granted, it still works perfectly to this day, and I have no idea how this one will perform down the road, but for the price and the results, I would still have been walking on air to have this instead.

Straight As An Arrow!This product was great for straightening my hair, which is curly underneath and straight on top. My challenge in straightening is always the dents or diffuculty is flipping in and out the bottom. This was very effective in straightening but not as handy in shaping the ends of my hair as other curved straighteners. It was really fast and had good results.

"YOUR COMPASSIONATE NATURE" was borne out of sheer
inspiration...photographed and written with Love and Compassion.
This book is gently graced with photographs of beautiful nature taken during my global disaster relief work and medical missions - tsunami relief in Thailand, medical mission in Costa Rica, attending to orphaned children of AIDS in Africa, and Katrina hurricane relief work in Houston, Texas. Some were taken during times of much needed decompression.
What is fascinating is that most of the photographs were taken in the midst of disaster and chaos. Yet the serenity of the photographs subtly remind us that contemplation of Nature is a beautiful way to remain calm in the eye of the storm. These meditative sunsets, waterfalls, rock formations, flowers and trees are what I hold on to in the core of my mind and heart during the humanitarian relief work. They help me stay balanced and centered during times when serenity and compassion during traumatic times are my main spiritual healing tools. I included Nature photographs taken in the USA after mission work and during decompression times. These snapshots of Nature bring inner peace to my mind. The more inner peace, the better I can serve others as a healer.
I integrated quotes that have served to strengthen my spirit towards love and compassion during the toughest of times. This book is my humble gift to the world from my soul.
May you bask in the beauty of peace, hope and love, no matter what the circumstance, through your Compassionate Nature.
Note: The proceeds from this book will be used to buy water purifiers for Uganda. 3 million people die yearly from waterborne illnesses. Healthy and safe water for the world is an emergent global cause. Let us raise awareness, uplift this cause, and be a part of helping decrease mortality and help save lives. Thank you to all. May your Compassion lead you to the path of Love.

I'm using the Juniper AX411 access points in my office. I have set them up to broadcast 3 different virtual access points all over 2.4 ghz. This all works fine for maybe 1-2 days and then this slows down to a halt till no one else can connect to the ap.
I look at the neighbours and i see around 40 different access points broadcasting on all different channels on the 2.4 ghz range. Am i just getting interference which is killing my network?
I am planning to enable 5ghz all access points which will work for all our desktops and laptops but will not work for any phones.
What options do i have to try and prevent the 2.4ghz network dieing?

After a rough qualification to Brazil 2014 that included a home and away playoff against Oceania Football Confederation champion New Zealand, the Mexican national team earned their right to represent CONCACAF at the FIFA World Cup. Last December the world soccer governing body held the official draw for the 32 teams that will participate in the tournament. Mexico drew host nation Brazil for their second game.
On Wednesday, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Brazil national team coach, released his list of the 23-man roster that will participate in the competition. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé, is in agreement with the list, but admits he would have made some changes.
"I think Scolari did well. He was coherent and there were no surprises," Pelé said in an interview for ESPN Deportes. "However, I thought that players with more experience like Robinho or Kaká could have been called to join the group."
Brazil is the five-time world champion and the nation, as well as the fans around the world expect the verde-amarela to claim their sixth title this summer. Pelé is no different. O' Rei has high expectations of his national team and has often come out to make comments on individual players' performance.
"We expected a lot from Robinho," the Mexico 1970 World Champion said. "At [AC] Milan he was not what we knew him to be at Santos or with the national team. In reality it was a negative surprise because there were high expectations that he could have done better. Despite that, he is still one to consider at national team level."
Pelé also stated that his national team needs a good leader on the pitch to help lead the younger players. He expects a player like Fred, who played during Germany 2006 to take that lead role.
"We cannot expect Neymar to take the lead role," Pelé added. "In reality we must trust Fred, or even Thiago Silva, who also has good skills."
He also added that Neymar can have a great performance and be the cup's outstanding player. While most fans would see FC Barcelona starlet Lionel Messi as the one to watch, Pelé said that Messi has not had as good performances with Argentina as he does with the culés.
When questioned about who would win the world cup, Pelé said he was hopeful for Brazil, but also saw Spain and Germany as strong candidates. Brazil will open this year's world cup against Croatia on June 12, 2014 at the Arena de Sao Paulo Stadium. They will also play Mexico and Cameroon in Group A action.

TC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN; 30 January 1835; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18350130-TC-JCA-01; CL 8:28.
Friday Morning [30 January 1835]—
Dear Jean,
Here is the Frank I expected. I had written the whole of the inclosed,1 when yesterday's Courier came, and I observed on it, "write": so you see I did it not on compulsion. I am going into the City (that is the old part of London five miles East from this) to, among other things, order tobacco. Mundell's man holds out there, and furnishes me with an excellent unadulterated article, which he keeps in a separate Barrel and never shows to the Cockneys. I also expect some Pipes from Edinburgh thro' Mrs. Welsh's Kindness (who is there at present); there [not] being any such thing that I could ever meet with as a respectable Pipe in [this "large] and populous City."2— The Political people were all very busy last night where we were; but nothing edifying came out: they must just "carry on till Lonsdeale come."3 We shall wish them speed.—— Now mind the Sheets, bairn, and see that they be rightly ruled, and large ones: I have mentioned them to my Mother.
I will not forget Jenny today, but thank her for her Postscript, and send her my best brotherly regards. I hope she sticks to her seam, and neglects no means of gaining a little improvement, better for her than fine gold. You will get the Letters out on Wednesday, I suppose: you must write to me very soon.
Affectionately, /
You can send over M'Diarmid's Note any time; and make him come and look at the Showerbath, or else advertise it. I fear it is in your way: if it stood under cover and out of the road anywhere, there were no such hurry about it.

That's the way it was for the farm from its opening in 2007 until this summer, when it opened a farm stand for the public three days a week, at 1285 Old Ranch Road.
Plans for the stand began in earnest in the winter, with a building to house the stand being built in the spring. But for Fair, the farm's manager, offering produce to the public has been a long time coming.
"I felt for years like there were a lot of 'no's'" Fair said. "'Can we get your produce?' 'No, unless you're on the CSA.' It's nice now to be able to say, 'Yes, come on by.' It's always been in the back of our heads, for years."
Though the stand has only been open since July, Fair said it already has developed a devout group of regulars who are hungry for local, fresh produce. The produce is always harvested the day before the stand opens, meaning it's been out of the ground for around 24 hours when people buy it.
"People love it and are so excited," Fair said of the stand. "People are so surprised to see that we're growing everything on the farm right here."
One of the most satisfying aspects of opening the stand has been getting to know the customers the farm feeds, Fair said. She pointed to a woman shopping in the stand and illustrated her point.
"We fed her through her pregnancy, and now we're feeding her kids," Fair said.
The process to get the produce to customers began in the spring, when seeds were planted at the farm. And Fair offered this insight of all the hard work she and the farm's other employees have put in between then and the harvesting of the produce: "You can literally taste it.
"I planted a seed back in April, and now here are these gorgeous carrots," she said. "It's one of those things where I'm seeing it from seed to Joe right there, who's buying it. It's as full-circle as it gets."
The farm stand, which is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon, offers many kinds of produce, including kale, onions, carrots, spinach and potatoes. The farm also partners with a Salt Lake City farmer to offer various kinds of fruit.
"I'm not going to say we grow everything you can grow up here, but we grow a really wide variety," Fair said.
The plan is to keep the stand open into October, though Fair said that will be largely determined by the weather. And as for future expansion of the stand, given its success so far? Nothing is currently in the works, but that may change.
"We'll have to wait and see until the end of the year," Fair said. "We don't necessarily want to be huge. But so far, so good."

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
by Laurence Sterne
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Book 4, Chapter 28 Summary
- Alrighty, back to the question of baptism. Before the Reformation, Didius says, re-baptizing would have been easy. Since priests were so bad at Latin, they could just find an error in the ceremony and declare it invalid.
- Others say that the mistake only matters if it's in the root and not the end of a word; others think that, as long as the priest's intentions were good, the ceremony was valid.
- The company debates this fascinating question for a while, and Mr. Shandy soaks it in like a sponge.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue scored in each of the first five innings and ended Bradley's five-game winning streak with a 12-1 non-conference college baseball victory on a frigid Sunday afternoon at Lambert Field.
The Boilermakers (15-8) earned a split in the weather-shortened weekend series, bouncing back from Friday's 9-4 Bradley (14-7) win in Peoria with a 16-hit attack Sunday.
Senior centerfielder Brian Martin collected two of Bradley's six hits, including a ninth-inning triple. He scored when freshman Eric Paulson followed with a single for his first career college RBI.
The Bradley pitching duo of sophomore John Nasshan (2-2) and junior Jacob Booden entered Sunday's game with a combined 5-1 record, 2.23 earned run average and .183 opponent batting average, but the Boilermakers touched Nasshan for five runs on seven hits in his 2.0 innings and tagged Booden for seven more runs on six hits in 2.1 innings. Purdue leadoff hitter Tyler Spillner set the tone by going 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles and three runs scored, while second baseman Eric Charles (2-for-5) and first baseman Ryan Bridges (1-for-4) both drove in three runs.
Already with two five-game winning streaks and off to their best start since 2005, despite playing 20 of their first 21 games away from home, the Braves will return to O'Brien Field for a 3-game home stand next weekend against Western Illinois. Friday's series opener is slated for 6 p.m. at O'Brien Field.

GuideStone challenges mandate
DALLAS (BP) – The Southern Baptist Convention's health and financial benefits entity has filed its first-ever lawsuit against the federal government in a legal challenge to the Obama administration's abortion/contraception mandate.
GuideStone Financial Resources and two of the organizations that take part in the entity's health plans filed the federal suit Oct. 11 in Oklahoma City. Joining GuideStone in the suit were Oklahoma City-based Reaching Souls International and Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland, Ga.
The suit contends the religious liberty of the entities and other non-church-related organizations covered by GuideStone's health plan is violated by a rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement the 2010 health care law. The HHS regulation requires employers to pay for coverage of workers' contraceptives, including drugs that can cause abortions, but does not provide an exemption for entities like those that filed suit.
"GuideStone plans do not cover drugs or devices that can or do cause abortions," GuideStone President O.S. Hawkins said in a written release from the entity Oct. 14.
GuideStone has protested a series of "final" rules issued during the last two years by HHS on contraceptive coverage, joining the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) and Southern Baptist leaders – as well as evangelical and Roman Catholic organizations – in opposing the mandate and its lack of adequate conscience protections for religious employers.
After GuideStone failed to achieve satisfactory results through legislative and regulatory processes, Hawkins signaled to the Southern Baptist Executive Committee in September the entity would file suit.
ERLC President Russell D. Moore said in a statement to Baptist Press, "GuideStone is absolutely right to stand against this incursion on conscience and the free exercise of religion. Southern Baptists stand with GuideStone. We at the ERLC will continue to work to repeal this obnoxious mandate and to restore religious liberty in this vital area."
The lawsuit cites 16 counts against HHS and its mandate, including violations of the First Amendment's free exercise and establishment clauses and the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Foes of the abortion/contraception mandate say HHS has provided adequate conscience protections for churches and affiliated auxiliaries, but not for other religious institutions.
The suit seeks a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the mandate until the judicial process is complete. GuideStone and its fellow plaintiffs face heavy financial penalties for noncompliance. The mandate will take effect Jan. 1 for GuideStone.
The GuideStone suit is the 74th filed against the mandate, according to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is representing GuideStone and the other plaintiffs.
"The government's refusal to treat these ministries as 'religious employers' is senseless," said Mark Rienzi, senior counsel for the Becket Fund, in a written release. "These people spend their lives teaching and preaching their religious faith – if they do not qualify as 'religious employers,' the government needs to get a new definition."
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to announce soon if it will review lower court decisions regarding the abortion/contraception mandate. Both the Department of Justice and Conestoga Wood Specialties, a Pennsylvania business owned by pro-life Christians, asked the high court Sept. 19 to review separate decisions that clashed at the appeals court level. The Department of Justice petition came in an appeal won by Hobby Lobby, an Oklahoma City-based retail chain owned by pro-life evangelicals.
GuideStone, which is based in Dallas, serves churches, missions organizations, schools, hospitals and other ministries. In addition to health and other insurance coverage, GuideStone also offers retirement, investment management, property and casualty coverage and other services.
The Dallas law firm Locke Lord LLP filed the lawsuit in conjunction with the Becket Fund. The case is GuideStone v. Sebelius. Kathleen Sebelius is the HHS secretary.

Sept. 17, 2009
DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois men's golf team will begin its season this weekend at the Spartan Classic as the Huskies will compete against 14 teams at the Kingsley Club in Kingsley, Mich.
"I'm very excited to take a young, inexperienced team to compete in a Big Ten event," said first-year NIU head coach Tom Porten.
The event is composed of 36 holes of competition on Saturday and 18 on Sunday at the par-71, 6,723-yard course with 8 a.m. CT start times on both days. The teams competing include California, Charleston Southern, Cleveland State, Columbia, Detroit, Duquesne, Evansville, Jackson State, Michigan State (A and B teams), Oakland, San Francisco, Santa Clara and UC-Davis.
The Huskie lineup will feature senior Matt Triplett at the No. 1 spot with junior Jeff Dick, sophomore Griffin Bauman, freshmen Kurtis Luedtke and Paul Hammerschmidt filling the rest of the lineup in respective order.
"We completed six rounds of qualifying on Saturday and the focus has been on making every shot count in order to make our practices competitive within the team," said Porten. "Within our focus, we have really been working on our short game. We need to be able to chip and putt the ball consistently to be competitive in this tournament and all year long. It's my understanding that the Kingsley Club is a great golf course with fast greens, which will put a premium on the short game."

On last night's first of two back-to-back episodes of "Catch a Contractor," comedian Adam Carolla and his crew of private investigator Alison Bedell and her husband Skip, a licensed home-improvement contractor, are going after the worst contractors in America. Before Adam rose to fame for his comedy and other endeavors, he was a contractor, so it is not so much of a stretch for him. Now, the team is on the job to hunt down the crooked contractors who screw innocent people and give the good contractors a bad name. Watch as they force them to complete the jobs they left unfinished. If they cannot find these people, they will finish the job and help the family take legal action against these swindlers on this episode titled "Backyard No-Asis."
Adam and Skip met with Damian and Chris, a gay couple who were screwed over by a contractor. They expected to have an awesome backyard, but it was left a nightmare. They paid Jeff Heath, three years of their savings, the total of his bid of $13,000 for the front trim, a balcony and turn the backyard into an oasis. When they started to complain about the quality of the work, he took off and left behind a disgraceful mess.
Skip and Adam told them they made the first mistake by paying in full, but his bid was so much lower than the rest, that there had to be a reason. When they examined the balcony he built, they saw that it would never hold the weight of a person, by the way the carriage bolts were installed, leaving a danger to life and limb.
Alison found him and set up an appointment at the sting house to catch this crook. When he came inside, he was confronted by the camera crew, Adam and Skip. He stated that they got what they paid for, which was a bunch of crap, the hot tub was never delivered, and the place was in shambles. They gave him the three choices; come back and finish the job under their supervision, return their money, or see them in court and lose his license. He chose to return.
The next day when he returned and defended his shoddy work, the couple confronted him, and he finally admitted he underbid the job, but when the couple returned, it was the true oasis they expected and the hot tub was awesome.
Thanks to Adam, Skip and Alison, one nice couple has the oasis they expected. Jeff continues to work as a licensed contractor, he also continues to resist urges for underbidding jobs, and hopefully being more honest on this episode of "Catch a Contractor."

He co-founded Whole Foods in the laid-back college town of Austin in 1980. Over the last three decades, this health-conscious grocery brand has blossomed to more than 350 stores throughout the United States and the United Kingdom, with more than 58,000 employees and billions of dollars in annual revenue. Such massive growth led him to pen a best-selling manifesto based on his businesses practices and beliefs. Watch Whole Foods CEO John Mackey talk about his recently-published book "Conscious Capitalism" at the 2013 SXSW Interactive Festival.
Also, for a tad of context on the small town atmosphere that still prevails in the ever-growing metropolis that we call Austin, note that the Whole Foods world headquarters stand directly across the street from the SXSW offices (and our friends at HomeAway are based on the other side of the street). Yes, all that innovation and creativity is somehow connected!

Red Raiders Host Northern Kentucky On Tuesday Night At 6 P.M.
Trency Jackson and the Red Raiders look to get back on track against Northern Kentucky.
December 3, 2012

Opponent: Northern Kentucky
Texas Tech Looks To Rebound Tonight Against The Norse
Texas Tech will look to rebound from its first loss of the year as it hosts the Northern Kentucky Norse on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the United Spirit Arena.
This is the first-ever meeting between Texas Tech and Northern Kentucky, who will be making its first appearance in the state of Texas.
The Red Raiders are coming off of an 85-57 loss to No. 9 Arizona, while the Norse fell to No. 4 Ohio State, 70-43.
Texas Tech had started the year 4-0 and was in the midst of leading the nation in scoring before playing Arizona.
Chris Walker was named the interim head coach at Texas Tech on Oct. 4 and has held just over 35 practices since that time. A win on Tuesday would improve the Red Raiders to 5-1 in his first season, equalling the fourth best start by a first-year Texas Tech head coach.
Texas Tech is 14th nationally in scoring at 82.4 points per game.
The Red Raiders are paced by one of the nation's top sixth men in Jaye Crockett, who comes off the bench each night to contribute a team best 15.2 points and 8.4 rebounds a night. Forward Dejan Kravic added 11.6 points and 5.4 rebounds, while freshman guard Josh Gray chips in 10.8 points and 3.2 rebounds and sophomore forward Jordan Tolbert is good for 9.2 points and 6.0 rebounds a night.
The Norse, which are 0-5 and have not played a home game this season, are in their first year as a member of the NCAA Division I. Northern Kentucky went to the NCAA Division II Tournament in five of the last six years.
Northern Kentucky is led by Eshaunte Jones, who is averaging 14.4 points and 3.8 rebounds. Jalen Billups adds 8.8 points and 4.2 rebounds.

Ocean Bay Marina
The Ocean Bay Marina is a marina located in Ocean Beach, Vice City in both 1986, and 1984. In 1986, the setting of GTA Vice City Tommy Vercetti comes here to receive missions from Juan Cortez. However in GTA Vice City Stories the setting isn't in any part key to the storyline other than when Vic has to get fake photographs of Jerry Martinez with a DEA agent.
The marina is located right across from the Marina Sands Hotel. The building contains a curved walkway to the side of it, with two stones standing out with a picture of an anchor on it. But in Vice City Stories the stones are blank. At the backside of the building it has two piers, pier one at the north, and pier two at the south. In the water there are wooden boards slanted on rocks that can be used at ramps for stunting. Also there is very little difference between the two years the games are set. Some of the notable differences are that in 1984 half of the carpark is under construction, there are fewer docks with only two ramps, and the stones. It also features an underground carpark where random vehicles will spawn.

How to Build a Campfire
One Methods:Lower impact fireCommunity Q&A
When you are out in the wilderness, it is a custom and tradition to build a campfire. The choice is up to you what kind you want, or if you want to use it to cook food.
1Situate the fire at least 10 feet (3.0 m) away from tents, trees, roots, overhanging boughs or dry leaves, and other flammable items if there's no fire ring available.
- Make sure you have a flat area, preferably dug a few inches into the ground to contain the fire, but if you're desperate, just make sure there are no sticks, leaves, or roots in the way. Also note that roots under the ground can catch on fire and spread out causing a fire hazard several feet from your location.
2Clear a space 29 to 32 inches (73.7 to 81.3 cm) across.
- If there is less than 2 feet (0.6 m) of soft snow, this can be cleared away with snow shoes or by kicking.
- If it is hot and you are surrounded by a lot of pine trees, take special care to set the fire in a vast clearing, as green pine trees are extremely flammable themselves as is the gaseous oil they expire.
3Make a ring of rocks if one isn't already there. This will help to contain the fire, thus preventing forest fires. However, don't build your fire against a boulder or other rocks, as it may leave unsightly burn marks.
- Avoid rocks that might be saturated with water, as steam pressure buildup within the rocks can lead to explosive fracturing that may injure nearby people, so try to choose rocks from high and dry areas.
4Plan a fire control plan. Prepare a bucket of water for each tent and an especially large bucket for the campfire location. Agree on the maximum volume of the fire.
5Gather firewood and kindling using only fallen branches. Gather twigs and sticks and divide them into three categories: (a) twigs less than a quarter inch in diameter (four of them together should be no thicker than your pinky), (b) sticks no more than an inch thick (about the thickness of your thumb), and (c) larger sticks up to three inches in diameter (about wrist-sized) and set these aside. This doesn't have to be perfect and after building a few fires, you'll get a feel for how these categories pertain to stages of the fire.
- The fuel should be as dry as possible. Look under logs and roots to find dry wood. Also look up in trees for fallen branches and deadwood that have hung up in a live tree. Clumps of pitch and birch bark make good fire starters. Birch can be set aflame even wet, and burns long because of its high sap content.
- If you have a saw and ax, dry kindling can be split out of the center of standing dead wood. This will be dry even in the wettest conditions. If gathering of indigenous plant life is permitted, Sassafras,[1] which is prolific in much of eastern North America, can provide a useful kindling in wet conditions.
- Note that many parks and wilderness areas even forbid gathering fallen material, which plays an important role in the ecosystem.
6Gather up a dense handful of pine straw, leaves, or any other similar plant remains (grab as much as possible with one hand - have some fuel busting out of the gaps in your hand). The key here is to balance exposed surface area and density - pine straw works well because the pieces have such small diameters and bunch together very nicely, but sunbaked moss, shaved bark, lichen, and even some oily green plant matter can perform nicely. If you're forced to use larger pieces of starter fuel such as paper or large leaves, try ripping them into thin strips (as thin as possible) before lighting.
- Make sure this fuel is as dry as possible. If you are having trouble gathering dry material, make sure you dry some suitable fuel at the fire and save it for later. If you are trying to start a fire in damp conditions, any material on or near the ground will be wet as will the lower dead branches of trees. Look for dry material in sheltered locations (under rocks, logs, in holes, etc.). Birch bark, pitch, or even some green plants like pine or sassafras will burn even if it is wet.
7Build a small, loose pile of kindling, making sure to allow space for air to feed the fire. Include paper scraps, dry plant matter, and any type of wood shavings or straw and other small, flammable items.
8Either construct a pyramid or a lean-to, also known as a tepee:
- For a pyramid, make an inward pointing tepee of dry twigs and small sticks around and above the kindling pile, leaving a gap on the side for entering air.
- For a lean-to, lay down one piece of wood of about two inches in diameter. Use this to lean your smallest kindling against so that you have an air space underneath. If you have birch bark or pitch, place this under your kindling.
9Light the kindling with a match.
10Add increasingly larger sticks and then logs as the fire grows in strength, always leaving enough space between them for the fire to breathe. As you start placing larger twigs on the fire, use a little more rhyme and reason. For instance, you might wish to criss-cross the handfuls of twigs as you lay them down so that the fire can get air. Place your largest sticks in an arrangement that gives them stability and exposure to the fire without suppressing the airflow to the heart of the fire.
11When your fire is done, take special care to completely, excessively extinguish every last ember.
Lower impact fire
To build a fire that leaves an even smaller impact on the surroundings, use this method.
1Locate a source of disturbed soil such as a toppled tree or collapsed embankment.
2Spread a tarp on the intended location of the fire.
3Mound soil from the already disturbed site on top of the tarp. Apply copious amounts of earth to ensure that the ground is well insulated from the blaze.
4Flatten the mound to a workable fire platform. Build a small fire as described below.
5Burn all charred wood to ash, and let the fire burn itself out cold. Carefully douse the ashes with small amounts of water to be sure.
6After the fire is done, set the ash layer aside on the tarp, return the clean earth to the disturbed site, and pack out or widely disperse the ashen earth .
Community Q&A
How do I light the fire without a match?wikiHow ContributorOne method is using steel wool and a 9-volt battery. If you take the steel wool to the positive and negative ends, it will spark up quickly.
What materials should I avoid using when building a campfire?wikiHow ContributorYou should avoid using plastics, metals, rhododendron, living animals, nuclear waste. Use some common sense, and you will be fine. Also, if you plan to light it with petrol, make sure you move the can well away before lighting it.
How about using dryer lint for a fire starter?
How can I make charcoal for a living?
- If bugs are a problem, try putting moist or young leaves and sticks onto the fire to create more smoke. This is your best repellent and you will rarely have an insect problem near a campfire. This also repels some predators.
- Whenever you go into the woods, take multiple sources of fire with you. If a flint type lighter gets wet, it may stop working. An electronic lighter can be useful in that it only needs to be turned upside down and tapped against the palm of your hand to remove moisture. Other sources of fire include:
- Waterproof matches: available at most camping supply stores
- Steel wool and a 9-volt battery: Steel wool is flammable, and placing both contacts of a 9-volt against the mesh creates a great deal of heat. Keep them separated in your gear.
- Flint-and-steel: The traditional method is still a favorite of many campers, and there are some popular commercial improvements on this standard.
- A magnifying glass: if you have direct sunlight and a volatile tinder, your have fire.
- Home-made solutions: rubber-banded strike-anywhere matches doused in paraffin wax, and both cotton balls dipped in Petroleum Jelly or lint from your clothes dryer make safe fire starters that are lightweight and inexpensive. Keep them in a small zip-lock bag.
- In a survival situation, building your fire with a large rock as a backstop can reflect a lot of heat back toward you and can also act as a heat sink. Do not set the fire too close to a rock face though, because when some rocks heat up, shards can pop off and fly out at you.
- If your fire won't light, you're most likely using fuel that is either too damp or too large for that stage.
- If a previously-lit fire is sputtering, try getting your face as close to the source of the fire as possible without risking burns and blowing, observing the red glow. The increased oxygen flow to this part of the fire is temporarily increasing its heat quite a bit. If you place a tinder or kindling type of fuel on top of this ember as you blow on it, you will once again achieve an open flame. Build from this flame using the same steps listed above.
- In blowing, do not try to blow as hard as possible--that only results in dizziness. Instead, work with natural breathing patterns to influence fresh air on the hot spot. The fire does not need the oxygen-depleted, moist air from your lungs so much as it needs the surrounding air that it drags in.
- If you can, bring with you a pair of Welder's or Grilling Gloves for manipulating large logs on the fire. The leather and insulation will save your hands.
- Bring along a grill, which may be rested on the fire ring to cook on. A pot in the coals works great too.
- The key to making the fire grow quickly is keeping the diameter of the fuel small and blowing to increase air flow. A larger stick has a higher activation energy than a twig, but it also will release more heat when burned. This heat can be used to ignite fuel of a progressively larger diameter.
- An open flame does not mean something is very hot. The flame-free coals of a later-stage fire will ignite a thumb-sized stick almost instantly whereas your lighter may not ever accomplish the feat. Keeping this in mind, you can manipulate the fire more effectively because you can run your hand through flames as long as you don't hold it for too long.
- If using a campfire spot others have previously used, make use of any "charred wood" left behind- it will burn in your fire, and will decrease the amount of logs you will need to gather and burn.
- If you are building a fire in rainy weather, prepare by bringing along a "trench candle". Roll up a strip of newspaper (3-4 inches), and dip in melted paraffin. This will stay dry in wet weather, and help slightly damp kindling light.
- By the time you've begun adding sticks from the second category onto the fire, you can begin to relax and take your time - the hard part is over.
- Pay attention to the rules of the campground, some sites do not want you to bring in wood that could carry invasive species. For example, the Emerald Ash Borer, which is destroying ash trees, is prolific in Michigan and Minnesota and can be transported via firewood. The Department of Natural Resources recommends only bringing wood from within a 50 mile (80 km) radius. Whatever you bring, burn. You can usually purchase firewood from local residents.
- In deep snow or hard frozen snow it will be necessary to create a platform. If you try to build the fire directly on the snow it will steam and will not burn. A few 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter sticks laid together will suffice. Once the fire is well established it will keep burning into the snow until it reaches the ground. If the snow is very deep this can be a problem. Pushing the fire to the side will keep you from ending up with a fire burning at the bottom of a deep hole.
- Burn first with newspaper, or any type of paper, then put it inside the teepee with the kindling. Light the paper first and then quickly blow on the fire to spread it to the kindling.
- If you want your fire to be a continual source of warmth and light, you're going to need to take the next step up. Look for the heartiest looking logs you can find in your area. The best wood will be large in diameter and dense, but you will often find mostly partially decayed fallen trees - you may have to settle for these and they'll do okay.
- Try using the "log cabin" (placing two large, heavy logs parallel to each other with a space in between, then placing the next two logs parallel on top of those). Use the first two logs to gather the coals together between them. Placing these logs on the ground with the embers piled up between them will help concentrate the heat of your fire and the logs will also prevent heat from escaping through the edges of the fire. More than two layers in a log cabin is usually unnecessary, as much of the heat is lost into the atmosphere. Add more large logs if you require more heat from the fire. At this stage of the fire, adding sticks less than three inches in diameter will produce no noticeable results whatsoever and will contribute to coal-choking ash.
- If only long timbers are available and you lack an axe or saw, you can feed the ends of the timbers into an established fire, scooting fresh wood into the flames on a rotating basis.
Never burn synthetic waste materials - they leave with you. Leave the site better than you found it. If the site is an established campsite, leave the fire ring but remove the ashes and all surrounding trash. If you're the first to camp in the spot, disperse the fire ring rocks, refresh the vegetation and make sure all traces of your presence are removed. All feces should be buried, and all trash and food scraps should leave with you.
- Campfire ashes should be widely dispersed away from the campsite. Localized overabundance of ashen material damages ecosystems. Sift the ashes for carelessly tossed in waste materiel--beer cans do not burn.
- Plan ahead for the end of the fire. All partially burned wood must be burned to ash. The fire should be extinguished with water, not earth or sand unless there is an emergency. Remaining unused wood should be dispersed in a natural manner.
- Never make a ring around the fire with rocks from a water source-the water can embed itself in the rocks and the heat can cause them to explode.
- While fires will repel bugs and the like, they may attract curious animals. Animals will rarely enter a clearing with an open fire in it, but they may observe it from cover and take notes. Keep your food away from your sleeping location, preferably in a bag hanging high above the ground - you'd be surprised how crafty raccoons and bears can be!
- Never leave an open fire unattended. Before you leave your fire permanently, remove all fuel and spread the coals out on the ground. If available, pour water on these so that they stop glowing. In the daytime, you won't be able to see the glow of these coals, so be especially wary.
- Always make sure to extinguish the fire fully before leaving the fire pit.
- Always have someone watching your campfire - never, ever leave it unattended.
- All fires get extremely hot as does the coal that they produce - never attempt to contain a fire with your hand - you will be burnt.
- When traveling in the back country in cold weather always begin building your fire as soon as you stop. You may feel hot and sweaty but this will soon change to chills. It is a good idea to start gathering your fuel before you stop and then wait until you come to a good spot before stopping. A protected location (out of the wind, overflow, or avalanche path) with a good place to build your fire is always best. Stuff your mittens inside next to your body while working with your fingers (lest they be frozen hard when you try to put them back on).
- Be sure to familiarize yourself with the fire regulations of the area you're camping in before starting a fire.

If you read the blurb at the end of my articles you can see that I spend much of my time on the Shandris server. This has been the home for myself and the alt army since I started this game. There have been other servers I've dipped my foot into, but Shandris has been home for my gaming.
There are a mix of characters that have come and gone on the server. I wouldn't say that Shandris is anything spectacular. We have a little above average raiding group. A average to above average economy (which I'm trying to make extraordinary of course) and a pretty good group of players. With any server you get players who probably should be doing other things than griping in trade.
But there are a few that have made themselves known just simply by one thing. They pseudo own a piece of property in Orgrimmar. While watching trade chat he will announce his wares depending on which alt and profession he's selling that day, and it all revolves around a tree that almost everyone knows is his tree in Orgrimmar.
I"ve even seen arguments of others saying 'that's not your tree, that tree belongs to everyone. Seems like a very valid argument til 10 players verbally lay a beat down on them saying 'he has had that tree for years'. It's a fascinating deluge of support for something that technically isn't a part of the Warcraft game. This is the epitome of having a reputation that everyone knows.
The question is have you set up your reputation in your home city that players know? Do you have a spot that players know to come to you. In the beginnings of wow I would see players (as well as myself) run to whoever had 5g for my crafting wares. This was long before I looked to dominate the Auction House. Running like a panting dog to get another 5-10g into my coffers. As I progressed I saw a change in my attitude because I could wait for them to come to me. Controlling my own crafting and selling destiny instead of being dependent on the whims of others. Before the biggest letdown was that a player would change their mind the minute I arrived to finish the transaction.
Do I own a tree in Orgrimmar? No, not really. There are players who know the spots that I pop up from my hearthstone so if I am arriving in town they know to wait there. But I'm more partial to bushes than trees. Still, it would be nice to own a nice oak in Silvermoon.
Good Luck and Good Hunting

Summer is unfortunately not down time for most of us. We might dream of spending summer days relaxing by a pool with a tall cool drink. The reality is we still have to get up and go to work. We need to look professional, when just a short walk across the parking lot can fell like walking through a sauna.
A light touch of shimmer and minimal makeup will keep you looking fabulous and prevent summer face melt down. Even in 90-degree temperatures with high humidity you still need an eye cream and a moisturizer. Apply either a tinted moisturizer or a sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30. Using a light touch in applying summer makeup is critical. The goal is a natural look that will last though the day.
Dab concealer on shadows and blemishes.
Apply a light dusting of a slightly iridescent transparent face powder with a brush.
Apply a bronzing powder to the checks, under the brow and on the earlobes.
Apply a longwearing cream or powder eye shadow in a neutral shade on the eyelids.
For a special summer evening purple or turquoise eye shadow will give your eye and extra touch of glamour. If you feel you can't face the world without eyeliner – use either liquid or cake eyeliner and apply with a very fine brush. Experiment with shades of teal and royal blue.
Apply non-water proof mascara to your lashes first than apply waterproof mascara on top.
Line your lips with a lip pencil and fill in with a gloss. Hot summer lip colors are hot pink and coral.
Keep a package of oil-blotting paper in your purse to blot sweat and keep you looking cool throughout the day.

Wade Redeker - Director of Residential Life
Emporia State University is special to me. I am proud to say that in 1991 I was a freshman resident of North Towers. Living on campus was a true educational experience and as a result I have many fond memories. While attending this exceptional institution, I have earned a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education and Master of Science in Education Administration. I am honored to be a Hornet!
Prior to becoming the Director of Residential Life, I was a public school educator. I taught science classes and coached various sports in the Salina, Auburn-Washburn and Emporia school districts. Most recently, for four years, I was a principal in the Emporia school system. Those experiences allowed me to work with a diverse group of people and develop skills that I use on a daily basis.
Being the Director of Residential Life at ESU is an exciting adventure! Each day is unique and I regularly have occasion to learn something new. I am happy to be working with an outstanding Residential Life staff and feel lucky to be a part of an incredible campus community.
You can reach me by email at email@example.com or by calling Residential Life at 620-341-5264.

I've been declining a lot of flags about "not an answer" and wanted to ask a straw question to explain why. Pretend I just had my flag declined and am here to ask WTF!?
I'm seeing a lot of "not an answer" flags when there are bad answers, answers that lack a reference, wrong answers, or answers that people presumably disagree with or have a pet peeve with certain words.
In a nutshell:
On the moderation side, here is how we tend to process things:
Before handling a flag of "not an answer", we pause to look critically and assess the question. Since we want to optimize for questions that allow for (or perhaps even demand) good answers - everyone should be more interested in fixing the question if that's the real problem. Rather than delete an answer that points out the question needs help, let's use the tools to fix a question or guide someone that is attempting to move the discussion forward and only delete an answer if it truly is not of better quality than the question itself.
As moderators, we try to keep some order in terms of deleting things that are actually offensive, mean spirited or blatant spam (spam - n. advertising that is either repetitive or totally not relating to the question) . And we are also here to ensure that criticism of specific choices or functions is constructive as opposed to be unsubstantiated accusations or blowing off steam at someone else's expense, so be sure to use the correct flag if that's your primary complaint with a specific post.
Here's a great post that should be flagged as not an answer.
The only way that would be an answer is if someone asked an off-topic question and we would want a flag on the question since I can't really blame the answerer for a mis-placed question.
Here is what a moderator sees when declining a flag when "not an answer" is in play:
So, as you can see, even if an answer is totally wrong, that's not enough for us to delete it in almost all cases. It has to be unsaveable by an edit and we like to see that the bad answer has a down vote or two and hopefully a constructive comment before we like to step in and summarily delete an answer. Even totally wrong answers with a polite, concrete rebuttal is of great use to the community.
Think how many people with a similar wrong answer in their mind could be helped if we kept all the wrong answers online, searchable, but properly down-voted and explained as to how and why the post is incorrect.
Since our site has so few trusted users, the reopen queue is not maintained well, and when a moderator deletes something, it's extremely rare that anyone will see it, let alone have a chance to fix it.
The next time you flag something as "not an answer" - do a check to see if it can instead be voted / commented if the poster has clearly tried to move the discussion forward. Not all answers are right from the get-go, but we need to give new users and the collaborative editing process a chance for some answers rather than just deleting them outright. If a post shows any effort to help others learn, it should not be flagged or deleted.
If you're reading to this point, realize that when you don't comment and don't vote and don't edit before you flag a post as not an answer, you haven't shown any care and just tossed your perceived problem to the moderator team to handle. Moderating is what we signed up to do as volunteers, but the reality is that when 30 flags for NAA lack any effort at community moderation, your flag however well intentioned, can become a problem.
We'd like to avoid patterns of flagging things as NAA without performing any moderation of the posts in question. Try to not load the flag queue with things that you can start to resolve if the community has given you enough reputation to start moderating these posts via vote, comment and edit privileges.
As a counterpoint (I would just comment, but I can't put images in comments):
This is what we see on the flagging page:
Under "it is not an answer" we see "It should possibly be an edit, a comment, another question, or deleted altogether". It sounds like you are considering all the flags as requests for deletion when the flagging page mentions 3 other options.
I will try to start commenting and voting rather than flagging (except for spam) but I am confused about the phrasing the flagging interface offers.
I think a tangential confusion stems from new users not being able to comment and so they go to the answer field (or maybe they don't even see the comment option, but even if they did it isn't an option)
and yes, this should probably be flagged because it isn't an answer :D
I tend to drop a line into the 'other' category if there is some doubt, if the post needs simply a more experienced eye cast over it for confirmation, or if it definitely needs migrating to the question body itself; a task I'm assuming only mods can do.
I do wish there was a sub-heading for 'not an answer' to split the 3 possibilities - comment, new question, delete - because 'not an answer' in itself is a tad vague.
Also, being an 'answer' there's no close or equivalent voting available, unless [I think] it was already in the LQP review queue (correct me if I'm wrong on that), so the only option sometimes is to throw it into the mod queue.
I constantly keep my copy/paste cheat-sheet of the 'close options' open on my desktop to throw into some of the more obvious disasters ;-)

The Moonstone
by Wilkie Collins
The Moonstone First Period, Chapter 11 Summary
- Godfrey is spending the night in one of the guest rooms before returning to London the next day.
- Everyone is getting ready to go to bed, and Lady Verinder asks Rachel where she'll put the diamond for the night.
- Rachel says she'll put it in her Indian cabinet (a kind of huge jewelry box) in her boudoir.
- Lady Verinder offers to keep the diamond for Rachel overnight, but Rachel refuses.
- Lady Verinder then says they'll discuss it in the morning.
- Rachel pulls Franklin aside, and shows him that she's wearing the locket he gave her, tucked inside her dress.
- Betteredge notices that Franklin looks like hell (he hasn't been sleeping well), and suggests that he have a glass of brandy before bed.
- Godfrey overhears this, and repeats the suggestion.
- Franklin asks to have the brandy sent up to his bedroom in case he wants it during the night.
- Betteredge finally goes to bed, but doesn't sleep well.
- Soon after he's up and dressed the next morning, Penelope comes running up to him, saying that the diamond had disappeared.
- Betteredge goes up to Rachel's boudoir to see for himself.
- It's true: the diamond isn't in the cabinet anymore.
- Rachel seems really upset about it.
- Godfrey doesn't know what to do, and at first, Franklin is too groggy to think straight.
- But, after a cup of coffee, Franklin gets himself together.
- He tells the servants not to touch any of the doors or windows, so that the police will see everything as it was during the night.
- Then he tries to ask Rachel about it, but she's too upset to see anyone.
- Lady Verinder doesn't understand it – Rachel won't even talk to her about the diamond, and she's her mother!
- Franklin proposes that they send for the police, and get the Indians arrested and held on suspicion at the jail in Frizinghall.
- Lady Verinder approves, and Franklin sets out.
- When he gets back, he's very discouraged – the Indians were able to prove that they went straight back to Frizinghall after performing on the patio at the Verinders' mansion.
- Of course, the police in Frizinghall are willing to hold the Indians in jail, anyway.
- Superintendent Seegrave arrives and starts to question all the servants.
- He antagonizes them, though – he makes it clear that he suspects that it was one of the servants who stole the diamond.
- He calls them all into the boudoir, and scolds them for smudging the fresh paint on Rachel's door.
- He sends them back to their work.
- He questions Penelope, first, and makes it clear that he suspects her, since she was the last servant to see the diamond the night before.
- He starts to question Rachel, and she just cries and says that no one will ever find her diamond.
- She refuses to answer his questions, and actually seems angry that he's there at all.
- Rachel then has a private conversation with Franklin, and comes back looking angry.
- Lady Verinder is angry that Seegrave is treating the servants with suspicion.
- Later, Betteredge is surprised to see Rosanna coming out of the library – she's not supposed to be cleaning in that part of the house during the day.
- He asks her about it, and she blushes, but explains that she had been cleaning Franklin Blake's room, and found that he'd dropped a ring on the floor and had gone down to give it to him.
- Betteredge goes into the library to talk to Franklin.
- Franklin says that Rosanna had acted oddly – she'd given him his ring, yes, but then she'd said a few things about the diamond.
- She had said that no one would find the culprit – she'd see to that.
- Betteredge doesn't want to tell Franklin that Rosanna had a history as a thief, so he just says that he'll mention the matter to Lady Verinder.
- Then Penelope tells him that Rosanna had gone up to her room with a headache.
- Penelope thinks that it's because Rosanna is in love with Franklin Blake.
- Seegrave then goes off to Frizinghall to question the Indians, who are still being held in the jail.
- Mr. Murthwaite agrees to act as interpreter, but Seegrave still isn't able to find out anything from the Indians.

I have checked out a remote repo. Now I did some operations of adding some file to the repo. as well as (perhaps) removing some files in the repo. In both the instances git was not informed of the changes. Is there a way for git to check the integrity of the repo. and inform me whatever files were changed (or not) ?
I saw this post 1 but dunno if that covers the scenario I shared above. Is
$git fsck enough? If I remove a file from the local repo. how would git tell/show it ?
Look forward to answers.

Site CMT07: New Point Wharf
New Point Wharf is a small site bordered by private property. From the road's end, the Chesapeake Bay and the remnants of a large wharf can be scoped for a variety of species, including osprey, loons and waterfowl. Visitors should check the adjacent freshwater pond and woodlands for songbirds. During fall migration, these small, forested areas can be choked with southbound neo-tropical migrants. Nearby Doctor's Creek Landing is also worth a check. The surrounding habitat is private and parking is limited, but during winter or migrations, the tidal creek, salt marsh, and nearby island host terns, sandpipers, herons, and gulls and occasionally some uncommon species. There is no public beach access from this road. Please respect private property at this site.
From Horn Harbor Landing, return to the intersection of Rt. 649/Rt. 608. Turn left on Rt. 608 and continue 2.9 miles. Turn left on SR 14, proceed 3.4 miles and turn left on Rt. 602. Continue 0.9 miles to the dead end at New Point Wharf.
