Exactly one year ago some random woman posted a story on my boyfriend's facebook page about what a man whore he was and shared intimate details about his trysts with one of her friends and dealings with several other women. That's how I officially found out...humiliation on so many levels!
I am a strong, independent, older woman who would have never before accepted such disrespect but we worked it out, I forgave him, and we are trying to move on.
My hurt has gotten a bit better, but I still cannot seem to get past it, I keep reliving details that he told me of these women because I demanded the dirt. Now I am using them as devices to torture myself over and over again.
Sometimes I think I am more angry and disappointed in myself than in him for tolerating his behaviour, that maybe I am disrespecting myself by staying with him. I constantly find myself looking for signs he is at it again because I chose to overlook them the first time.
Any advice from people out there going through this or who have been there before? Can you ever trust a cheater again?

CountyMounty, thanks for sharing some of your story with me. It is a relief to know that I am not the only person who has chosen to try and rebuild after betrayal.
As for your questions about the "big reveal" lol....I did not know the woman, she was a friend of one of the woman he was sleeping with. That woman became upset with him when he decided to pull the plug on their trysts/meetings....(I get the impression she thought they were dating). Anyway, she told her girlfriend the story of how he dropped her and that got her mad enough to out him on his FB page for me and all his other friends to see. I was both horrified and relieved at the same time, it was finally out in the open. I emailed that woman and also the woman he was sleeping with because I wanted to hear the whole story from them directly. I am not sure that was the best thing to do as I also have specific, initimate details from her to bounce around in my head. The only benefit was it exposed a little more of his lies, he couldn't deny it, I had proof right from the source!!

Anastasia01, after a year I can say it gets a little better. I still have frequent trigger moments where the memories come flooding back. I am off the charts suspicious and constantly looking for any little random thing that might be a sign of cheating.
We function normally most days, but I have some deep seated anger at him that cannot be resolved on my own so counselling is the next step for us and for myself actually...I need to stop beating myself up over this.....being a lying, dirty cheater is a flaw of his...NOT MINE.

Wow Arabella, 4 years! I hear what you are saying. It's like the time you spent together before you knew doesn't exisit anymore because now all of those memories are tainted, all lies, they steal all of that from us by making a concious choice to cheat. Over the course of this journey I am going through many ups and downs but one thing I have learned is that I no longer want to play the role of victim. This has been a hard lesson learned, but it has definitely made me wiser and stronger.

Wellll, I don't think anyone ever "totally" "gets over it." I do think that if the CS makes enough changes and obvious efforts the relationship may be a viable one. Mine is. But, to say that I feel as I once did, or trust as I once did would be an outright lie. I was married to a man many years ago for twelve years. I suspected, though never actually caught, cheating for most all of those years. I never learned to trust him again, because he never stopped. I divorced him...thank goodness! My current H and I have been together for more than thirty years. He hurt me with some serious behavior around eight years into our marriage. I thought we had it straightened out. And, I trusted him more than any other person I've ever known. I found out around six years ago that he had been lying to me again. That hurt me more. I think that repetition really pretty much assures that trust will never be fully restored. And, the hurt they impose always creates barriers for me. So, though I still love him, I trust him...a wee bit...almost...I don't feel about him or the relationship as I once did. And, I don't expect myself to. Hurt is a powerful change mechanism for me. Accidental hurt...not so much. Intentional disregard and selfish behavior....absolutely awful. So, I figure, you hurt me once with something, I get over it pretty easily. You hurt me again with that same thing, I'm not likely to ever totally get over it, because? Ya knew better! And did it anyway.

|'ve had so many D Days that it just insanity. I stuck it out, again and again and again. With each new event or me finding out, things did change. We had a formal full disclosure june 11 2013. I knew about 85% of it, our counclor was surprised at my reaction of lack of. He acted out 3 weeks ago, and even if he didn't "sleep" with someone, that doesn't seem to matter to me. The only positive thing I can give him is it wasn't a months or years fess up. When he came home, I told him I know you cheated. He said the usual no I didn't, I didn't do anything wrong.. the usual bs, only I didn't sooth it this time. I said I know you did, say what you want, It only took 2 1/2 weeks for the denial on is part to stop, compaired to years. No more 1% I'm wrong. I was even able to know who and what was, ect. (he hates my 3rd eye, so do I) I guess the one that changed me was with his x wife that was happening 6 years ago. Oh wow, yeah I am in trigger mode. Sept/Oct seem to be. Oct 4/07 xgf, Oct 20/07 ONS, Oct 29/07 xwife, Sept/Oct 2012 Cheryl, Sept 25 2013 Brenda.. and so on. I have a thing for dates too. But it was the one that truly changed me was xwife. That destroyed me. I decided I was never going to let anyone hurt me like that again.. and I know so far nobody has. Eventally like you, I refuse to be in victim gear. Good for you for going that way, you will be so happy that you are not staying stuck in those crazies!!! But as I have said to him. My trust is not in him, but I know I'll be ok. I put my trust in my high Power (GOD but not in the reglious alpha omega) I trust that he will protect me and keep me safe, and take care of me, because nobody else has or will. And for 5 years, that is the truth for me. Once I took a look at my part in some of this, none of it is my fault, that is not what that means, but my part. 12 steps, step 4 I guess you could say.
I have to say that whoda is correct with his ability to hide things so well. But once the gig is up, they usually find other methods of acting out. Facebook eh.. that has been the curse of a few marriages I do think. To post it on facebook, shows maturity level of those doing it. But I think whoda really hit things on the head, so I will leave that alone.
We where doing very well him and I after the DDay in June. We had just gotten back from Cuba 4 days before he took off, and things had been looking positive as he had been doing the to do things.. I have decided that it is time to separate., Was not an easy choice or decision to come to or make. Might not be forever, just until he figures this one out. So, keep vigilant but don't let It control or rule you. I spent so much time investigating that I forgot and lost myself. I call it victim seeking.. Looking for away to catch him and then victim playing. That got old years ago. Once I stopped, I started to focus more on me, and my getting better.

I hate to be negative but once a cheater, always a cheater. NEVER blame yourself. It's their problem. Don't torture yourself it just gives them more power over your life. Move on, as bloody hard as it is, you'll be better off. Trust me. Be strong. X

Oh and by the way, I got dumped after 25 years of marriage. It's devastating but life has to go on. I'm so mad and hurt I just wish he was dead, it would hurt less.

Survived, thanks for your insight and you know part of me believes that too. How can someone who thrived on that kind of attention and dangerous thrill seeking, validation settle into a hum drum normal relationship?
Live in GF's and wives have responsibilities, kids, jobs clearly not as fun as secret friends with benefits who make no demands!
I only fault myself now for not calling him out first - when I saw all the huge red flags popping up.
Believe me, I did toss him out at first, took him back and have considered kicking him to the curb many times since. He has, to my knowledge, been committed since then but has been warned even one errant text message and your ass is grass. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!

I think that your feelings are normal but I'm in different shoes. When I found that she was cheating she choose to end our marriage. I hoped for a chance. I hoped for the chance to put the "what ifs" to rest. Had she chosen to give it a chance I would most likely be filled with doubt, as you seem to be but for me that would be better than the certainty of OVER
But I love her and would rather find out if we could survive infidelity. if we could look in our respective mirrors and mend the things that need mending for each other. No guarantees but I hoped for the chance to work on things from my end. I hoped that she would aks to work on things from her end.
Do you love him, Are you & him really willing to try, then take the lumps if they come because they may NOT and you two may be okay.
I hope that you can determine what path to take and that it takes you somewhere good

anastasia01 I dont think there are very many that ever "get over it" it is just one of those things that changes your life forever, whether you stay or go. I do think one thing to consider though is that most of us are here on DS because we are struggling with it, for those few people that have "gotten over it" whether it be by leaving or staying and forgetting and moving on, they are not here on DS. It is unlikely that you will ever have your life back "like it was" your relationship will never be the same, the dynamic has changed. Yes there are a few that say that eventually their marriage became better, but I just have a hard time understanding how that is possible but it is for some. I can see how some things can actually be better than before (for one if the CS really does change and stop the behavior your no longer living a lie) but there are some things that likely will never be the same like trust, and security, faith, respect etc. There are plenty of "success stories" here on DS and other places, not necessarily of people whose lives are now so much better but those of people who have made their marriage work and things are going OK, CS's have changed, and life is pretty decent. There are also success stories of some that left their CS and are happy with their new life. It will be up to you to decide what you are going to consider a successful outcome, but I think a goal of your life being the same again might be a set up for disappointment. At two years past Dday and still in the relationship I cant say that I am a success story not by a long shot, in fact most days are still pretty tough, but some things have changed, the types of things that time helps heal have already started by default. As far as counseling goes it can help in various ways. For us for the first couple months it helped in that it put everything out on the table it got her to finally tell the truth about everything and admit some of the things she was afraid to say and acknowledge some problems she had had for years. After that we started to slowly just delve into the relationship and how to move forward day to day, unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, that is kind of where we are still at with the occasional going back to deal with specific things related to the affairs when they crop up. Counseling in general for anything is a controlled environment where you can both say whatever.
arrabella sounds pretty much just like me, you cant un know things and it does not seem like something that can be "fixed", as in made the way it was. My W says the same exact things wants to take it all back, have it be the way it was before, except now with her feeling and seeing things the way she does now, basically both of us fully in the relationship. And like your H she says she is in it period to the point where she wont even consider me leaving, wont talk about it. Your right you cant make your self pretend feelings, to be happy, you can externally, I do that everyday but some say that a "fake it until you make it" type of approach will work for some, maybe it will for me.
SandyLee24 you are welcome. There are a lot of people on here that are trying to rebuild and yes it is a big help to know that I am not the only crazy one that is. A lot of people say that you should never contact the other people involved but I am not so sure it all depends. It has always been on of my biggest questions to myself as to whether I am glad that I found out all the details or not, on one hand they are haunting but on the other at least I know and there are not all kinds of secrets and lies outstanding. (not that I will ever believe I know it all probably). It almost seems in your situation that it was a good idea, other than the details being torture.
Like Sandy said some things do get better, the day to day does become more "normal", as in the daily function of life, it has for us. The feelings are not normal for sure.

This is the "official" first week of my half-marathon training! I am using the Hal Higdon "Novice 2" training plan. I was going to use "Novice 1" but it didn't have very much running, and it only goes up to 10 miles for a long run. Since I am running by myself and won't have anyone to push me that last 3.1 miles, I figured I better train a little closer to the mileage of the race!
Wouldn't you know that once I signed up (and paid, lol) to run the 1/2 that it ends up being the coldest winter in Michigan! Seriously! I HATE being cold! But I have been learning that I am tougher than I thought. I went out this morning and ran 4 miles in 3-degree weather! Luckily I had my BuffWear scarf with the fleece attachment that I pulled up over my face. Very helpful for breathing, didn't hurt to take a breath, haha.
The race is Sunday April 13th. My husband and I went and drove the course where it will be. There are 2 hills at the beginning, but the rest seemed pretty flat... There may have been a smaller one at the end? You run over a bridge 2-3 times. I told my husband that I just hope I don't get lost
It seems like there are a lot of turns to take... But I know that there will be people there pointing out directions, lol.
I'm averaging a 9.5-10-minute mile right now. I'm guessing that I'll be around 11 minutes for the actual race, since I'll be running further and will need to pace myself! This past week my outer quads have been SORE. I tried Chi-Running after reading about it and watching the videos, and I think that it used muscles that I hadn't used before. The last few runs have been hard because my legs felt like lead! I started taking BCAAs, Glutamine (powder that I put in water before and after a workout), and CLA. I was already taking several supplements (Fish Oil, Magnesium, Glucosamine, Acidophilous, multi-vitamin...) but I have been reading about these other three and they are supposed to help keep (and even build) muscle and also keep your metabolism good. I did have a guy at work tell me yesterday that I looked like I have lost weight. I felt a little smaller, too, although the scale has only changed by a few pounds. Must be tightening up...
My husband and I are starting a running group at our church this Saturday. We had over 45 people sign up! Many have never run before, so they will be doing a "couch to 5K" plan. I am in charge of the intermediate runners, I think we will do 2-3 miles, and my husband is in charge of the advanced (they'll probably do 3-5, not sure). Everyone meets at a local school but then runs at their pace. It's a great way for them to meet new friends and find a running buddy! The goal at the end is for everyone to run a local 5K together (and we'll have t-shirts made). There is a lot of buzz and excitement about the group, so I'm looking forward to seeing the turnout!

Kuddo's to you for getting out and running today. In Wisconsin, we're experiencing below zero weather and it looks like for the next week we're in another "polar vortex". You're a braver runner than I am. By the way, I swear by Hal's training programs.
How awesome that you're having such an awesome turn-out for the running club.

Love your commitment!!
You are dedicated. What a way to begin half marathon training. Very impressive that you have adapted to the weather and are sticking to your plan despite harsh conditions.
I am sorry to hear that your quads are sore from Chi Running! Oh no! Is there some stretching/foam rolling you can do to relieve your muscles? Hope that you can figure out how to avoid or change that. Chi Running is supposed to be easy, and prevent injury/soreness. So I don' like that you're feeling more sore as a result!
What a great way to get others involved in running! Running with others or coaching others is very motivating. Hope your group run goes well.

Don't underestimate your race pace. It is usually as fast ot faster than your training pace. In my experience anyway.
I never wish another runner luck because luck is for the unprepared. And you will be ready.

I bought a 30 day Discovery pass on the greyhound BUS. Meaning I can travel anywhere in the country that greyhound travels for 30 days. I currently have Virgin Mobile pre paid and it's coverage is horrible. I plan on spending much of my trip travelling through Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, North Dakota. It seems Tracfone is available in my zip code, but only with T-Mobile or AT&T as it's carrier coverage. I was hoping to pick one of the tracfones that had verizon as it's carrier since it gets the best national coverage. Does anyone have any advice on what I could do this? It seems even the "one click coverage" phones gets weak coverage in the area's along the major highways that greyhound travels. I would just feel much better getting a phone that has the National coverage verizon offers. Verizon is available in my zip "94580" but it seems tracfone prefers the other carriers here.
I used to have Verizon pre paid but once they started charging 1$ a day for any use of your phone I had to give it up. It would be great to use them through tracfone without the extra charges.
Any help would be appreciated.

Lemme say first your trip sounds like fun. I did a lot of hitchhiking in my younger days. It was a different world then a bus trip is a great alternative.
You can order a CDMA (Verizon) Tracfone from their web site by using a CDMA zip code such as 96127 (Susanville, Ca) after punching in "buy phone". As you check out with your real zip code they will ask you if a zip code change is OK - click yes.
I've done a bit of traveling in the same states you're planning to visit with the exception of ND. I had good luck getting a signal in most places with my T-Mobile to Go phone. It roamed alot of a variety of providers but getting a usable signal was never a problem.
I see some good advice here ... why not one of each, a GSM Tracfone and a CDMA Tracfone? The purchase price isn't much and you'll have coverage. Add airtime to whichever phone you end up using.Originally Posted by Mike7688
Interestingly, I can get a CDMA Kyocera 126c for $10 at the supermarket and the GSM LG100g for $10 next door at Radio Shack. (... and I'm not in Susanville....) Trac will active either phone in my zip code.
I checked out a Susanville, Ca zip and found the phones you mention. I'm thinking about LG 290C, but I'm a little worried about having to use up 2 units when roaming using one of the CDMA phones. I looked up the service area for the GSM phones using my zip and they seem to still get coverage all along the main highways in the states I'll be travelling. All except northern Idaho. It's supposedly kind of weak but since you didn't really have problems I may just go with one of those.Originally Posted by 25jive1
If I go with a GSM Tracfone I'll probably go with the 20$ Samsung T301G with Double minutes and a 60 minute card included. I even found a promo code that takes off a few bucks.
I could even go with what @Frontierjustice suggests and buy one of each. They are pretty cheap but carrying around 2 Tracfones and my Virgin mobile would seem like a bit of overkill.
Thanks for all the input everyone. I really look forward to this trip. I'm flying 1 way out to Virginia in mid may to visit relatives than I'm gonna start off my trip from there. I'll be going from Williamsburg - Johnson City TN - Huntsville AL - Montgomery AL- New Orleans - Wichita KS - Bismarck ND - Rapid City SD - Wyoming - Montana - Idaho - Washington - Oregon - Back to California - And on and on and on and on. With many stops in between. I just hope tracfone is the best choice for all my roaming needs. It's gotta be better than Virgin mobile. If anyones seen their roaming coverage it's the worst of all carriers.
All Tracfones sold these days are single rate meaning no extra charge to roam. "2 units when roaming" went away years ago.Originally Posted by Mike7688
Because most Grayhounds travel major interstates and hiways coverage with any provider should be adequate for your needs.
Because of their roaming agreements a CDMA and a GSM Tracfone should give you service anywhere in the US if there is service to be had.
Have fun

I didn't know that the 2 unit charges no longer applied to any of their phones now. Even thoe y any of the carriers probably will get service along all of the major interstates I'd still much rather have the Verizon, Alltell service. My worry is that I've read that tracfone favors AT&T over verizon and if your in an area that gets both Verizon and AT&T they will choose At&T as your carrier every time. IS it true the only way your going to get Verizon as your tracfone carrier is if they are the only available carrier in your area?Originally Posted by 25jive1
This might sound crazy but I was thinking of possibly waiting to activate my tracfone until I'm in an area that my virgin Mobile phone doesn't work. For example once I get to Rapid City SD I could activate my tracfone and choose Rapid city as my main service area. IF roaming doesn't cost extra I really don't mind keeping an out of area phone number as my regular one. I don't plan on using it much. Only when I'm travelling. Which I do allot by the way.
Please note Tracfones wording when you are asked to enter a zip code:
Please enter the ZIP Code of the area where you will
be using your TRACFONE the most.
NOTE: If you are purchasing a TRACFONE as a gift, please enter the ZIP Code where the TRACFONE will be used.
You might use zipcode 59802 (Missoula, Montana) a Tracfone CO market (only CDMA phone are offered).
Do not wait to activate as not all activations go quickly. You can activate anywhere you can get CDMA service. The 2 unit charge may still apply to phones built or purchased in the past. There are still some around.
It sounds like you are totally confused here.Originally Posted by Mike7688
Only GSM type phones can get ATT & T-mobile as their carrier.
If you have a CDMA type phone, Tracfone will not, cannot make it use ATT as the carrier!
A CDMA type phone will have Verizon (or one of their affiliates) as the carrier, and having ATT in the area has nothing to do with it.

I'm gonna choose a zip that sells the CDMA phones and buy one to have activated here where I live. Thanks for the help and the link. It made things much easier for me. I just wish Virgin Mobile had better coverage. I have almost 1500 minutes saved up.

So on a 30-day trip like that, would you sleep on the bus? Where would you take the occasional shower? I used to ride a lot of greyhounds from college back home, and I sat by a number of people who seemed to have the shower problem
I live in zip 53511 on the Illinois -Wisconsin border. My TracFone uses U S Cellular. (Verizon must charge TF more for minutes than U S Cellular) I roam on Verizon and some small CDMA carriers I never heard of...
Mike 7688: First, WHY would anyone have 1500 minutes saved up??(for gosh sakes ,man call yer mother, she'd love to hear from you!)Originally Posted by Mike7688
And second,post back during/after your trip to let us know how coverage went in different locations.
Third , have a good time, and dont forget to CYM!!
Yes, thaT can be a problem. I just took greyound for the first time in over 10 years from Chicago to San Fransisco and forgot about all the bird baths I had to take in the bathrooms. On the 30 day trip I'm gonna be taking a little pop out portable 3-4 pound tent and a small mummy sleeping bag. While I'm only stopping in each town for a few days each. I'm going to choose Private and public campgrounds in each city. Most of them have showers. For example, the one in Montgomery AL has one right across the street from greyhound.Originally Posted by shawnlg
I'll for sure check out the places you've mentioned to eat in Montgomery. Thanks @nwm4ever. I've only been through Alabama once and that was with a regular bus ticket, so I couldn't stop. This time I hope to spend some time up in Huntsville and Montgomery.
I'll definitely report back on how my coverage fared on this trip. I'm gonna keep notes along the way. I really look forward to seeing all there is to see across the country.

When new people sign up for virgin mobile with my code they get 60 free minutes as do I. Then with the 20$ a month i have to pay to keep my phone active the minutes just accumulate. Hopefully if Tracfone is allot better maybe I'll sell my Virgin Mobile phone on E-bay with all the minutes. That is if they allow me to transfer the minutes to someone else.

Scallop Scampi with Peppers
From EatingWell: September/October 2011
Use a mixture of bell peppers for a colorful (and vitamin C-packed) scallop stir-fry. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel—if they are wet they will spatter when added to the wok and make the stir-fry too wet. This stir-fry is excellent served over linguine or fettuccine.

Grass used by the West Plains course helps minimalize damage
June 19, 2014 | Vol. 118 -- No. 9
Paul Delaney
Due to their use of bent grass, the greens at The Fairways Golf Course survived our harsh winter in good shape and allow long putts like this to maybe be a little easier to make.
The Fairways Golf Course takes a lot of grief for the wind that is as constant as are the divots its golfers carve.
But the wind and the West Plains are pretty synonymous in these parts.
However, one thing that the golf course on Melville Road can take pride over this year are greens that appear to be head and shoulders above those at many other courses in the region.
Both Spokane city and county courses, plus a number of private ones all suffered significant damage from a crazy winter that saw repeated bouts of snow and bitter cold wreak havoc that is still very much visible nearly four mo...

I have known this junction could cause problems for some time, but I have never used it when it has been busy before, the first time that I do and a driver pulls out in front of me as I am travel down the road.
This junction is easy enough to get across if you are coming uphill on West street, but if you are coming downhill or from Lambton Street there is no indication of who has priority, when this is added to with drivers coming off the bypass, it leads to a bit of a mess.
I assumed it would work like some kind of a roundabout where you should give way to my right. The driver coming off the bypass had ideas their own. Causing me to make a sudden stop in the middle of the junction.
Also the left turn if going from Lambton street to go up West street is very tight when you have cars waiting on your right hand side, the concrete splitter with a vertical kerb forced me to ride on the wrong side of the road.
My ideas for fixing this would be to stop cars coming off or going on to the bypass here. All trafic for Tescos and the carparks around the library could use the junction on High Street.

Just when you thought the ABQ BioPark Zoo couldn't get any cooler, with their many exhibits, animals, trains, events and more, they go and install a zipline that can take passengers for a unique and exciting ride through the zoo. For a limited time, from May 23 to Sept 1 you can get clipped into the harness of the zipline while visiting the zoo. The Zoo Zipline is open Thursday & Friday from 9:30-4:30 and Saturday and Sunday from 9:30-5:30. The cost is $8 per ride and passengers must be over 40 inches tall and between 45-250 lbs. You can find the Zoo Zipline behind the Asia Train Station at the northwest end of the zoo near the cottonwood trees.
This adventure takes place 44 ft in the air with a 320 foot zipline. Passengers can find themselves going up to 32 miles per hour as they zip through the zoo. While you won't be ziplining past any animals, you will be near the elephants and can wave to the train as you zoom past it. Fly Wire Zipline assures passengers that ziplining is completely safe and they practice correct safety precautions and the safest equipment. Some visitors may be shy or nervous at first but often feel excitement and exhilaration once trying out ziplining. This is a new activity for many but is worth a try.
Admission to the ABQ BioPark Zoo is not included in the purchase of a zipline ticket. Members of the New Mexico BioPark Society get free admission into the zoo but it is unclear if they receive any discount for the purchase of a zipline ticket. There is also an admission discount for active and non-active military members. There are 4 days to get discount admission into the zoo during the zipline tour. On June 30th there is the Zoo Open House designed for the public to be part of the planning process for the BioPark. Admission to the Zoo is free this day. You can go during July Half-Price Weekend on either July 19 or 20. You can get in free on July 3rd between 6am-10am during the Free Summer Roadshows from 100.3 The Peak.

The Pioneer X-stream is a new inflatable canoe design that replaces the Pro Pioneer and Magnum made by SOAR Inflatables (designed by Larry Bartlett).
We have moved away from Hypalon and Neoprene construction and developed a PVC model to, 1) Save weight, 2) Increase Capacity, 3) Guaranteed warranty, 4) Lower cost.
The Pioneer X-stream is made of 32-oz PVC and weighs 72 lbs (that's 15-lbs less than the Pro Pioneer and 30-lbs less than the Magnum.)
Working with PVC material has allowed us to design a lightweight wilderness canoe that holds 300 lbs. more than the Pro Pioneer, and its floor design allows users to run up to class IV whitewater without modifications made to the boat.
The Pioneer X-stream is a convertible self-bailer, and has no wood accessories. The floor is fully removable to provide weight distribution options during transport. The floor is a 4" drop-stitch design that inflates to become more rigid than I-beam construction and easier to repair. This canoe is inherently more stable than the Pro Pioneer because the floor and side tube alignment has a lower profile on the waterline.
There are lashing points along every square inch of the top surface of the Pioneer X-stream.
The Pioneer X-stream has the following specs:
|16.5 feet
Tube Diameter:
|16" side tubes tapered to 24" at the bow and stern
|32-oz PVC / 32-oz chafe guards around the bottom
Floor design:
|4" drop-stitch (removable)
Floor Weight:
|16 lbs.
Boat weight:
|72 lbs. (with floor)
Weight Capacity:
|1800 lbs. max
|Convertible with screw caps
Colors Options:
|Red or Gray
|5 years
NOTE: Avoid the shipping charges! If you will be attending the Fairbanks or Anchorage Outdoor Show, call me at 907.388.2477 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll arrange to meet you there!
Pioneer X-stream Q & A:
Question: Why redesign the Pro Pioneer?
Answer: Because hypalon (rubber) is heavier than PVC by nature, and the bottom of SOAR canoes have a tendency to grip rocks in shallow river scenarios. Also, I wanted to design a lighter canoe with more impressive delivery of weight hauling capacity and rugged durability by utilizing the entire bow and stern areas more effectively.
Question: What design features make the Pioneer X-stream so much better than SOAR canoe designs?
Answer: The bow and stern areas are now oversized to provide up to 300-lbs greater capacity, coupled with larger side tubes this design is a serious load hauler. We also moved away from having any metal d-rings and wood seats that add unnecessary weight and bulk to our canoe.
Question: Are the Pro Pioneer and Magnum canoes still available through Pristine Ventures?
Answer: No
Question: Who makes the Pioneer X-stream?
Answer: The Pioneer X-stream is a Pristine Ventures product, made in China by the same factory that builds Evergoing Products (Maxxon Inflatables).
Question: Is the Pioneer X-stream as rugged as the Pro Pioneer and Magnum?
Answer: Yes, PVC is more durable in dragging scenarios than rubber, and it's easier to make field repairs.
Question: Why is the floor removable in the Pioneer X-stream?
Answer: The Pioneer X-stream has a drop-stitch floor that weighs 16 lbs, and having the removable feature allows users to split their canoe weight for fly-in purposes, namely via Super Cub access where weight distribution is critical. The boat can be rolled as a whole or rolled with the floor separate, your choice.
Question: Why go with the Drop-stitch floor over a traditional I-beam construction?
Answer: Because I-beam floors have a tendency to leak air through the Pressure Release valve, which is problematic in Alaska where silt-laden streams are more common. Also, I-beam floors are less durable over time and difficult and expensive to repair. The drop-stitch floor can be easily repaired in the field and inflates to become more rigid than an I-beam floor design.
Question: What are the bottom-line benefits of choosing the Pioneer X-stream?
1. The Pioneer X-stream is 20-lbs lighter than the Pro Pioneer and 40-lbs lighter than the Magnum.
2 Our 5-year warranty is just that, not 3.5 to 4 years with stipulations. If construction fails during the 5-year period from date of purchase, your boat will be repaired or replaced ASAP. If we have inventory on hand and your boat incurs problems, we'll replace it immediately and have your boat repaired by the factory on our timeline…not yours!
3. The removable floor option allows critical weight distribution when flying in to remote settings via Super Cub.
Technology has improved in the boating industry, and we have taken full advantage of this by designing the ideal inflatable canoe for hauling heavy loads and travelling in to remote wilderness settings.

View entire lesson plan in PDF or Word
Unit Overview: Artist Estelle Ishigo, the European American wife of a Japanese American, was among the American citizens forced out of California during World War II. Ishigo and her husband, Arthur, were first sent to Pomona Assembly Center and later to Heart Mountain Relocation Center, in a remote area of Wyoming. There, Estelle Ishigo continued her work as a painter. Students reflect on Ishigo's personal letters, artwork, and official documents to relate the themes of tolerance and prejudice to the era, understand that media plays a part in propaganda, and learn how artists convey thoughts and emotions through art.
This lesson plan was originally created at the UCLA Institute on Primary Resources.

HUDSON, Wis. -- The audience gathered at Lakefront Park is small, intimate, the size of a crowd at a high school play. They've been instructed before he arrives not to be shy; this is their one chance to ask the president anything, and the president wants them to; after all, he calls this event "Ask President Bush." As they wait, it's raining one minute, sunny the next. In the background, Lake Croix, the pride of western Wisconsin, looks choppy. Hawks are circling overhead. Anything could happen.
"What do you got?" the president taunts them when the questioning session opens, and then calls on the first hand.
"Mr. President," begins a young man in a baseball hat. "I just want to say I'm praying for you and God bless you."
And then one questioner later:
"I would just like to say that I agree with this gentleman, that we should all pray for you."
Every campaign has its preferred way of cavorting with the common man, and they're always somewhat canned. John Kerry and John Edwards have their "front porch" meetings, highly staged hangouts on a suburban stoop, just the two Johns, an average American family and 200 reporters. Bush prefers the "Ask President Bush" sessions, the campaign equivalent of the infomercial, with an audience designed to look as if it's been plucked randomly off the street, delighted anew at each twist and turn of the master's demonstration, irrepressibly bursting with questions and comments.
Typical of the exchanges at Bush's town hall meetings is this one from last week in Beaverton, Ore.
"Mr. President, you were a fighter pilot and you were with the 147th Fighter Wing?"
"Yes," answers Bush.
"And flew a very dangerous aircraft, the Delta F102?"
"Right, and I'm still standing."
"I want to thank you for serving our country"
"Thank you."
"Thank you for serving."
Last week he held four "Ask President Bush" events in Virginia, New Mexico, Oregon and a Florida town named Niceville. Wisconsin marks his 12th, one shy of the number of news conferences he has held in the past 3 1/2 years in the White House. The campaign insists the audience is not heavily screened and the questions are not planted. And if protesters are weeded out, that's only a question of hospitality.
"We have an obligation that people can come and have a level of comfort that the event won't be disrupted," says campaign spokesman Terry Holt. "A few people can ruin the experience for everyone. This will be the first or only time some of our supporters will have a chance to see the president, and we feel strongly that people should have good manners and not work to disrupt the events."
Here's someone who looks like a protester: young Ashley Grzybowski, sitting just outside the main event entrance on a patio chair holding a huge placard, upset she can't get in, sporting smoky eye shadow and unusual piercings. Only look again: Her sign says, "There are three men in my life I love, my dad, my brother, and GEORGE W. BUSH."
There are protesters, one shaggy youth holding a "Where are the WMD" sign and some volunteers from the local Kerry-Edwards office, but they are several blocks away, invisible to the crowd at Lakefront Park.
After each "Ask President Bush" event, the Kerry campaign delights in local press accounts of people kept out. A story in an Albuquerque newspaper quoted one John Wade, who was forced to sign a "President Bush endorsement" form before he could see Dick Cheney speak. "This just ain't right," he said. There are endless stories, confirmed and not, of Bush officials or the Secret Service kicking Democratic activists out of events.
But here in this suburban enclave, such strong-arming doesn't seem unnecessary. There were only about 1,500 tickets issued for the Wednesday event. The local paper reported that half were handed out to party leaders.
"I will not confirm that," says Dean Knudson, chairman of the St. Croix County Republican party. "We have lots of excited, enthusiastic people. We called our people and the word spread and they're just so excited; it's an enthusiastic throng, eager for the chance to see the president."
He adds, "I personally have invited Democrats."
And yet a survey of the crowd shows most to be somehow connected to the GOP or the event. The eight O'Brien siblings got tickets because their father, Thomas, is a lifelong Republican and a judge. Ed and Joanne Holdorf got them because their son provided the golf carts. Jerry Isaacs got them from a neighbor who is a party activist, etc. Not a scientific survey, but the numbers pretty quickly added up to 1,500. And none were likely to be rabble rousers.
Some dissenters did get through. Char Trende attended, but only to hear the president out. "I think he should be defeated," says Trende. "He really bungled the war." But at the rally, Trende would keep these thoughts to herself.
The campaign says Bush likes the events because they showcase his strengths. And although the immediate audience is the converted, the larger local TV audience isn't.
"We feel like the president has a strength Kerry doesn't," spokesman Holt says. "He can make a connection with people; he has a sense of humor. This is a great way to showcase the president and his policies."
"He does his best in front of small groups," agrees Republican strategist Charlie Black. "People get a sense of his intimate personality."
It's no mystery why Bush likes them. Each session is like a 90-minute support group dedicated to him. In them he is "bold," a "fighter," "the man for this job at this time," in the words of various questioners, someone whose "candle is burning brightly." He is a "man of faith" or a "man who lives by his faith" or who's "answered a calling." Meanwhile, Kerry is "Jane Fonda's poster boy," from one questioner in Pennsylvania, or "a candidate with two self-inflicted scratches," from one in Oregon.
For most of the question-and-answer sessions, the president is endlessly being thanked, for "serving our country," for "everything you did after September 11th." He is prayed for, by mothers and twins and homeschoolers and grandparents and a blind man.
This session in Wisconsin followed the pattern of most. Bush stood on a small platform in shirtsleeves and no tie, the sun turning his face red. He made the joke he always makes about Dick Cheney not being the prettiest guy in the campaign, about his mom still telling him what to do. He made a long speech defending the war in Iraq, one that climaxed with: "Knowing what I know today, I would have made the same decision," to great applause. He showcased five local citizens who'd started new businesses or remodeled their homes to show that not only rich people benefit from his tax cuts.
Then it was time for questions and answers.
One person asked about Bush's support for unions, but Bush cut him off, saying, "I respect everyone's right to unionize." Another asked about the presence of the real enemy -- Satan -- which Bush soft-pedaled into something about faith-based initiatives. Luckily, for those uncomfortable moments the microphone wasn't working.
"Don't worry, I'll be the interpreter," Bush said. "And if I don't like the question I'll just change it."

For the first time in four years, a police officer will be assigned to public schools in Port Washington, Police Chief Kevin Hingiss said Tuesday. Officer Tom Schleg, a 20-year veteran of the force, will be assigned to Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Port Washington High School for the start of classes next week.
"Officer Schleg's demeanor and experience make him an ideal candidate for this position," Port Washington-Saukville School Supt. Michael Weber said. The new school policing effort will be different than the previous school liaison program, which was discontinued at the beginning of the 2008-09 school year, Hingiss said. Under the now defunct liaison program, which was jointly funded by the police department and school district, an officer was assigned to all schools in the district with the mission of building positive relationships with students, conducting programs on such topics as student safety and responding to incidents. "When the liaison program was started, it was new and different, and it was effective," Weber said. "But as it went on, and with the advent of other efforts like Character Counts, we got to a point were it wasn't needed." After the program was discontinued, officers made regular visits to schools, but this approach suffered from a lack of the continuity that is achieved by assigning a specific officer to the school beat, Hingiss said. "One of the most difficult things for us was having so many different officers in schools," Hingiss said. The new program, which is being funded exclusively by the police department in its normal operating budget, calls for Schleg to focus on middle and high schools exclusively. "That's where we end up having the most contact with students," Hingiss said. "Our mission is twofold. Above all, we want to build trust between the police and students. We also want to eliminate the issues that result in student-police contact." Schleg will spend between eight and 20 hours per week in the schools depending on scheduling demands within the department. Hingiss said he was able to assign an officer to the schools because of the recent hiring of another police officer, James Russel, who was sworn in on Aug. 6. Schleg's time in the school will be limited until Russel completes his field training — a three-month process — and joins the regular patrol rotation. "It's worth mentioning that I would never assign an officer to the school who didn't want to be there," Hingiss said. "Officer Schleg is very excited to be doing this." Weber said Schleg is a welcome addition to the school system. "The school district and police department crafted this program together so students would become more comfortable around police officers and so we would have an officer who can talk to our classes and emphasize respect for others and respect for property," Weber said.

The game, they will tell you, is more demanding.
The physical confrontations on the pitch, the intense three-hour practice sessions, managing time as a college student — all of those things challenge players who make the step from high school to college soccer.
But for many members of the Clark College men's soccer team, there also is a level of comfort that comes with being at home.
A half-dozen Clark players from Southwest Washington, four of them freshmen, have played significant roles for a team that has big goals.
The Penguins (9-2-4) have clinched a spot in the Northwest Association of Community Colleges playoffs and can finish first in the South Division with wins in their last two games — home matches today against Pierce, and Saturday against rival Chemeketa.
One reason for the team's success, according to coach Biniam Afenegus, is the home-grown talent on his roster.
"This team reminds me a lot of our (2007) championship team, because we had so many local players who were really good players on that team," Afenegus said.
It is not all about local talent. The team's top goal scorers are Joshua Amoroso from Hawai'i with eight goals, and Oscar Alverez from Hillsboro, Ore., with seven.
Among the reasons the local players — who were top high school soccer players — say they chose Clark were financial considerations. Another common factor was the opportunity to advance their soccer careers while playing close to home in a junior-college program respected both for its soccer program and for the academic support for athletes.
Afenegus said recruiting local athletes is a priority, critical for fostering Clark's connection with the community. This season, the coach said, the bonus is having local players who can contribute as freshmen.
"We're fortunate. A lot of the kids we get here are good enough to go straight to a four-year school," Afenegus said. "They come to Clark so they can save money. They also develop as a player. If they go to a four-year school, they likely will sit on the bench the first year.
Caleb Escobedo, a Clark sophomore who graduated from Hudson's Bay, said he has learned plenty both on the field and off in his two seasons at Clark.
"You see all the different cultures come together, which I think is really special," said Escobedo. An attacking midfielder, Escobedo had a strong freshman season for Clark but only recently returned from injury this season.
Among the parts that have put the Penguins into the playoffs is a defense that has posted seven shutouts and surrendered more than one goal in only two of 15 matches.
Freshmen Sean Melby and Daniel Tejada from Camas, and Cody Camp from Evergreen have helped Clark build a formidable defense in front of goalkeeper Carlos Mendoza from White Salmon.
"(Mendoza) has been phenomenal all season," Escobedo said.
Melby and Tejada played side by side at Camas High for two seasons, which Melby said helped him make the transition to college soccer.
"It's pretty cool having my right back with me," he said.
Camp, on the other hand, was a high-scoring forward for Evergreen who has spent most of this fall as an aggressive defensive midfielder at Clark.
Freshman Sean Chesebro from Skyview has recently taken on a larger role in midfield.
Chesebro's late-season move into the starting lineup is an example of how freshmen improve as they become more comfortable with the physical and mental demands of college soccer, Afenegus said.
"I learned I need to be loud and calling for the ball, and I need to be physical," Chesebro said. "If you're not loud, you'll never get the ball. And if you're not physical you'll be knocked off the ball when you get it."
The physical challenge is perhaps the most significant adjustment from high school to college soccer. Camp used his size and strength as an advantage at Evergreen High. At Clark, Camp said, he is just an average-sized guy on the field who relies on aggressiveness to earn playing time.
"It took a good month to get used to the physical play," said Melby, who was one of the more intimidating defenders around while at Camas High.
"We try to emulate in practice what is going to happen in games," Afenegus said. "It takes them a couple of weeks to adjust. Some players, it takes them that couple weeks and after that they blossom. Some, it takes them a month."
The growing pains behind them — along with a summer trip to the mountains and regular three-hour practices designed to be more gruelling than any match — the Penguins believe they are prepared for another long playoff run.
Despite having a team loaded with freshmen, the coach agrees. He said this team might be better than the 2007 NWAACC champions.
"As far as talent goes, way more talented. Just a matter putting it together," Afenegus said.

Dialing up High Stress
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
My 2 daughters cars broke first, one 2 weeks ago the other on Wednesday of last week...As I was going to pick up the 1st daughters car (who lives and goes to school out of town) , my car suddenly wouldn't let me give it gas...thank God for triple A...which by the way expired on the 26th of January. I rented a car - which was not a pleasant experience when all they had was a full size van...u probably can imagine the debacle that was when I drive a Malibu...
did I mention that with the cars broken my daughters and I had to share 1 car (yes you guessed it), the rental....The repair cost for one car was $149. the other $518 and mine $868. boy I know that mechanic is happy...as I finally picked up the last car today with money that I didn't have and quite frankly the song if it wasn't for the Lord by my side what would I do is running thru my mind even as I write this blog.....then there is always this weight thing constantly and continuously sidelining me....of course with all of this stress I want carbs......carbs and more carbs....oh did I mention on 3 different occasions in one week that 1. I had to be late returning from lunch 2. going to work and 3 leave early from my job bc of the unmentionable with the rental last week as well.....
I tell ya when it rains it pours....I just read Sadwhitewolf's blog on Sparkpeople that said she had to reboot and that this week seems semi normal...that is how I feel too...its Wednesday...i got my car back today...my 2nd daughter got her car back Monday.......so I am treading lightly with the stress.... but its there....
I said all of that to say though...that in all of that constant drama (cause you know I am only sharing a part of it)...where does fitness and well being fit in? I'm just sayin.....all I want to do is go put my head under the covers...when all of the rig a ma row of life is constantly headed toward me....Now I must admit that I did fit in some walking this week and part of last week....I shutter to think...if I hadn't, I might have had a stress attack or freak out or something like that.....4 real...
My point?...I'm really not sure....I guess that I am trying to say that no matter what we go thru and some days or weeks or months for that matter are worse than others and while my well being gets puts on the back burner, cause lets be real, when you are going thru intense drama, I personally don't care about counting carbs..but somehow thru the storm, even me ended up doing a minimal exercise or two..in spite of myself which in turn truly turned out to be my saving grace...There's a definite lesson in there somewhere and I have to admit, I will have to figure it out myself..
In any event hang in there and don't let what you can't do.....hinder you from doing what you can do....Get back to it as soon as you can....and if you are one of those who can deal no matter what in terms of taking care of yourself Anyhow ...I would love to know how you do it?
Peace and Tranquility.....to you all....including me, especially me...

"I can't believe it," Farrington said. "I come out to each contest and I try to do a different run and that's my approach to it. Sitting at the bottom I was stoked I landed my run and once I knew I was going to be on the podium I was happy. I was hoping to make the finals - that was my main goal, and then during finals I thought if I land a good run I might be on the podium. So to come out on top - I just can't believe it."
Clark has now medaled in the last three out of four Olympic Winter Games and has collected more Olympic medals than any other snowboarder in history with her two bronze and one gold.
"I'm pretty excited for the medals ceremony," Clark said. "If I didn't win, I'm glad someone from the U.S. did because we're going to get to see our flag raised and hear our national anthem."
The snowboarding medal events continue Sunday, Feb. 16 with women's snowboardcross qualifications and finals, where Lindsey Jacobellis (Stratton Mountain, Vt.) will fight for her second Olympic medal.

When Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek first debuted as Reflection Eternal 10 years ago , the duo's most well-known visual stemmed from their breakout hit "The Blast." The video for that song found Kweli and Tek sitting on a park bench outside a housing project as they rapped in a rainstorm — the epitome of the underground hip-hop aesthetic at the time.
These days, the duo's creative process is far different. After individually pursuing musical projects in the ensuing decade, Reflection Eternal were ready to step out of their comfort zone when they came together again for their new album Revolutions Per Minute. The pair took a novel direction on the Alex Moors-directed clip for "Midnight Hour," a doo-wop inspired number.
"I think it's more conceptual. It brought us out of what we normally do — you know, the real hard hip-hop [videos]," Hi-Tek told MTV News of the video, which features Estelle. "It gave us a chance to get our acting skills on, to have fun with a video as opposed to being so serious about it. … [Instead], we just had fun with the music."
"It's just a look, we were going for a certain vibe," Kweli added. "Graphically artistic."
The opening shot shows a record spinning before the camera pans up to reveal Estelle crooning the chorus into a 1950s-style microphone. Kweli and Hi-Tek are dressed sharply in conservative looks: a slim-fitting suit, tie and glasses for rapper Kweli, and a cardigan, bow tie and newsboy cap for the producer.
The video is mostly performance-based and centers on the three collaborators singing and dancing. According to Hi-Tek, the song was originally slated for Estelle's debut album. But when it didn't make it to the Brit singer's Shine, the track went unused for two years until finally landing on the hip-hop duo's Revolutions. Reuniting with Kweli for their sophomore set gave the song a new release opportunity.
"I was working on joints for her album, and I was working on my third [solo] album and we cut two records," Tek explained. "One for my album and [one for Estelle's], which we wanted to submit for the project, but it was too late for her album. It was sitting for two years, and I played it for Kweli, and he loved it. I didn't really think it was a record for our album, but we made it work. And it's a classic piece of music, so it should be heard rather than sitting in my crates."
What do you think about Reflection Eternal's "Midnight Hour" video? Let us know in the comments!

Holzwarth, N. Alpine ibex (Capra i. ibex) is not a reservoir for chlamydial infections of domestic ruminants and humans. 2010, University of Zurich, Vetsuisse Faculty.

Chlamydophila (C.) abortus is the most common infectious abortigenic agent in small domestic ruminants in Switzerland. In contrast, the knowledge about chlamydiae in wild ruminants is scarce. As interactions between livestock and Alpine ibex (Capra i. ibex) occur on alpine pastures, the question raises if wild ruminants could play a role as carriers of chlamydiae. Thus, we investigated the prevalence of chlamydiae in Alpine ibex in Switzerland. In total, 624 sera, 676 eye swabs, 84 organ samples and 51 faecal samples from 664 ibex were investigated. Serum samples were tested by two commercial ELISA kits specific for C. abortus. Eye swabs, organs and faecal samples
were examined by a Chlamydiaceae-specific real-time PCR. Positive cases were further investigated by the ArrayTube (AT) microarray method for chlamydial species determination. Of 624 serum samples investigated, 612 animals were negative, whereas nine sera (1.5%) reacted positively in one of the two tests and three sera showed an inconclusive result. Eye swabs of seven out of 412 ibex (1.7%) were tested positive for Chlamydiaceae by real-time PCR. By AT microarray, Chlamydophila pecorum was identified in two animals, Chlamydophila pneumoniae was detected in one animal and a mixed infection with Chlamydophila abortus and Chlamydophila pecorum was found in four animals. Organs and faecal samples were all negative by real-time PCR analysis. In summary, we conclude that C. abortus is not a common infectious
agent in the Swiss ibex population. To our knowledge, this is the first description of C. pneumoniae in ibex. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the situation in other species of wild ruminants as chamois (Rupicapra r. rupicapra), red deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus c. capreolus) in Switzerland.

TC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN ; 13 June 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18530613-TC-JCA-01; CL 28: 169-170
Chelsea, 13 june, 1853—
Dear Jean,
I got your cheerful little Note from Scotsbrig, and delivered the fragrant woodrif1 according to order. Today, in great haste, I send you a word of answer; having, in the meanwhile, begged a Daguerrotype of Jane for you (an expressive but dreadfully unfavourable likeness!—as they all are, and this is the best of 3 or 4); which I here enclose. That indeed is the main purport of my writing; and nearly all the news, or other advantage, I can afford you today.
We have had very hot weather; and I took as usual, no benefit from it, but grew uncommonly bilious, and therefore uncommonly wretched and useless; however, we have today, an unlimited deluge of constant long-continued rain (began some time in the night, and it is now 3 p.m. and brisk rain still); which will comfortably freshen the world for us, and do immense good to the grasses and trees.
I get no way made hitherto in my work, absolutely none; only persist, in the most sad manner; and must just go on till I succeed.— — We have kept quite out of the "UncleTommery" here; and have never once seen the Mrs Beecher Stowe,—knowing well enough that out of an innocent-minded commonplace Yankee Schoolmistress you cannot for your life make a world's wonder, and pearl of nature,—and would be wiser if you did n't try! The nonsense, I think, that has come up this year,—table-turning, spirit-rapping &c &c,—even exceeds the average of years. For another instance: One Albert Smith, a very unsuccessful Writer of trashy Laughing matter without any laughter in it,—in fact, a nearly unmitigated blockhead,—went travelling, the other year; and came home with an account of his "Ascent of Mont Blanc" (the highest of the Swiss Alps), which he delivers for a good while back, daily, with "views" (I believe) and such blether of Cockney balderdash interlarded with do wit as he can command (resembling "wit" as sawdust does gunpowder): and, all this year and last, the biggest room will not contain his Audiences, which are 3 daily; and about 16,000 human creatures applying for admission in due turn, are on his books just now; and he is making, for his shot of work, £5,000 a-year;—as I heard yesterday with laughter and astonishment; and found really to be not quite incredible, but a kind of shadow probably of the real fact!2 Is not "universal suffrage" the grandest manager of things that ever was?— — Under the sun, as I conjecture, there were never greater miracles of human stupidity achieved than in this enlightened London in these days. It is crammed with "money" too, and swelling out like a mushroom on every side: giving rise to many thots, not all of them joyful, in a rational man.
Do you often see Aird; is he still lame, poor fellow? I have lost all speirings of Browne; and mean always to go & visit for myself again, but neverdo.— — Jane will most likely be in your parts (I guess) about the end of this month,—which is fast coming on now.—— Adieu, dear Sister I send my affectionate regards to James, and pray for all blessings on your Household & you. Be a good Bairn always. Your affectionate / T. Carlyle

I confess. I have fallen in love with working on Project Life. It is so much fun to do! I highly recommend you trying it or some version of it (scrapping the every day activities) if you haven't already. It just takes you back to the real purpose of scrapbooking which I needed!
Here is my week 31 with detailed shots. I have finished week 32 as well and will post that one tomorrow. I used primarily my Studio Calico kits (I bought two add ons last month) and then some Elle's Studio and My Minds Eye I purchased from 2 Peas and Studio Calico. Having a select number of products pulled in my colors helps me stay focused. And LOTs of washi tape and colored staples. I'm finding washi to be my favorite product to use on Project Life. (Click on images to enlarge)
Hope you are all having a wonderful summer. I think you know all about mine from my Project Life - lots of beach days. xoxo Suzy

Holland America Alaskan
Cruises 2015 and

Many people wonder and ask when the best time to
visit Alaska is? Well, that will depend on many factors including your
time and schedule availability and what you want to see. If you would like
to take any of the early
May 2015 Alaskan
Cruises you will find that many of the ports and small cities are less
crowded with ships and other passengers, but, this is also early in the season
and many of the animals will NOT be available to be seen. This writer has
gone in May and it was quite beautiful but we never really got to see any large
animals. Taking any of the
Cruises June 2015 and you should start seeing some of the big animals
because when the Salmon start running, the large animals start feeding and
showing up.
When you take any of the
July 2015 Alaskan Cruises you should
be in great shape to see the big animals, beautiful scenery and the majesty of
Alaska in all it's beauty. We have also gone in July and the fish were
moving so we saw plenty of bears and other wildlife. Great month to go.
Taking any of the
August 2015 Alaskan
Cruises will also provide a great vacation platform for viewing and seeing
the large animals most of us want to see including bears, moose, eagles and
others. Into
September 2015
Alaska Cruises and you will be entering the end of the Alaska season and you
may get some rain but you should still be able to see and appreciate the animals
and wilderness as it gets ready for another winter. This writer has been
to Alaska several times in September for Salmon fishing and large animals are
still available to be seen in the wilds, plus we have experienced abundant pods
of whales feeding before they start there way south.
Some of the luxury cruise lines making this trip
will include the very popular
Alaskan Cruises 2015 on their luxury ship, Regent Navigator. Regent
Alaska Cruises will be all inclusive with many, if not all, of your shore
excursions included in the cruise price. Another all inclusive luxury line
will be
Silversea Alaskan Cruises 2015
where you can enjoy the many comforts and amenities of your suite each evening
after a day full of sight seeing and fantastic shore excursions.
Crystal Alaskan Cruises 2015 may
be available or not because Crystal does not go to Alaska each year so if they
are, please consider taking any of these Crystal Alaskan Cruises 2015 if you
want a true luxury experience at sea.
With the many wonderful and generous discounts, specials, 2for1 cruise deals and
other booking incentives being offered today by most of the cruise lines off of
their brochure rates makes today a good time to take advantage of these offers

Roads to be built on the Great Dorset Steam Fair site to stop bad weather wreaking havoc
A network of roads is to be built on the site of the Great Dorset Steam Fair to stop bad weather disrupting the event.
Last year, tractors were brought in to tow vehicles and there were long queues for the site at Tarrant Hinton near Blandford Forum. Some displays had to be cancelled. Organisers are planning to change the layout and are applying for permission for more than three miles of permanent roads.
Organisers say Great Dorset Fair was a huge success
Organisers of the Great Dorset Steam Fair say it was a huge success despite a muddy start. Visitors praised a special World War One exhibit recreating life in the trenches. Rain at the start of last week caused boggy conditions. But the ground dried up by the weekend and sunshine help bring in the crowds.
Conditions improving at Great Dorset Steam Fair
The organisers of the Great Dorset Steam Fair say that conditions are still very muddy but are improving this morning. Yesterday many visitors to the fair were stranded for hours waiting to be towed through the mud.
Steam Fair fields become muddy quagmire
The wet weather has proved a challenge for people going to one of the West Country's biggest events.
The Great Dorset Steam Fair got underway today as heavy rain turned fields into a quagmire.
Traffic queued for up to four hours to get on to the site near Blandford Forum.
Organisers had earlier appealed for extra tractors to help tow vehicles through muddy fields.
Our Dorset correspondent Duncan Sleightholme has spent the day there:
Mud mayhem at the Great Dorset Steam Fair
Wet weather has proved a challenge for people going to The Great Dorset Steam Fair.
Many exhibitors were forced to sleep overnight in their cars when they couldn't get to the muddy camping fields.
There have been queues of over 4 hours to get into the car parks, as visitors head to the site despite the mud.

Long queues for Dorset steam fair
There are long queues for people trying to get on site at the Great Dorset Steam Fair.
The event at Tarrant Hinton near Blandford starts tomorrow but heavy showers have made it difficult for vehicles trying to get on and move around the site today.
Great Dorset Steam Fair appeals for help in the mud
Organisers of The Great Dorset Steam Fair at Tarrant Hinton near Blandford say it is still on for tomorrow, despite the bad weather.
Exhibitors and campers are arriving at the site and the fair is appealing for owners of 4x4s and Landrovers to help out in the mud.
Steam rollers break record at Dorset Steam Fair
The world record for the greatest number of steam rollers in a formation over a set course was broken at the Great Dorset Steam Fair yesterday (Saturday 31 August), exactly 10 years after the previous record.
102 steam rollers took part in the world record attempt as part of the GDSF 2013 Roller Special, on a brand new road created in the road-making section at the event. This smashed the previous record of 32 from 31 August 2003, which was also held at the fair, near Tarrant Hinton.
The attempt featured a unique range of steam, petrol and diesel rollers representing the history of road rolling. As well as examples from the more common manufacturers, there were also those on show from the rarer makes of roller, with some having travelled from abroad.
Dorset steam rollers attempt to crush world record
Organisers at the Great Dorset Steam Fair will today attempt to beat the world record for the greatest number of steam rollers in a parade formation over a set course. Around 110 steam rollers will participate, travelling on a brand new road created in the road-making section at the event.
The current record is also held by the Great Dorset Steam Fair; a total of 32 vintage steam rollers passed over a length of new road on 31 August 2003, exactly 10 years ago.

I need to store files behind public_html to keep unauthorized people away from the files. I found directions on changing the absolute path, but ever since changing the absolute path, I have not been able to create a file/link that will produce a page that can download a file. I keep getting a message that the file can't be found. When creating the file, it pulls up the list, so logically the phoca software has access to it.
There are two things that I may have done that may have caused part of the problem. I made a folder to hold the files on the same level as the public_html to cut down on clutter. The file is called "audio". I also am trying to decide between Joomla! 2.5 and Joomla! 3.0, so both versions are installed in folders inside the public_html, respectively j25 and j30.
I am not sure as to the effect of having to step up an extra folder level or down into another folder might cause. putting ../../../audio in the absolute path box allows phoca download to create new files from an mp3 stored there, but gives the error message when any attempt is made to download. I have tried other inputs in the absolute path, but received messages that the "path is not a folder."
I am at a loss.

Yeah, it definitely did... what's the deal?
This means "what" in the compound word 什么, which is the usual way to say, "what". It means "various" when it is pronounced shi2, but that form is very rarely used. It looks like someone has decided to edit this to the modern meaning, which is fine, but they should certainly leave a comment telling people why this has changed, and also the other meaning should be added as an alternative so that it isn't marked as incorrect. I certainly found knowing its ancient meaning to be useful in understanding why it was used in the compound word for "what".
So we can either leave it now as the common meaning or change it back to the original meaning - but either way edits should always be noted in the comments section.
I was very confused about the change too... Would be happy to go back to various.

College Hockey:Two Tigers, Quartet Of Goalies Among Hobey Baker Finalists
MINNEAPOLIS — A pair of teammates and a record-tying four goaltenders are among 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, announced Thursday by the Hobey Baker Foundation.
Marty Sertich and Brett Sterling of national No. 1 Colorado College were among the finalists selected by a vote of the nation's 58 Division I men's head coaches, along with online fan balloting.
Sertich, the WCHA Player of the Year, led the nation in scoring with 61 points entering conference championship weekend, while his linemate Sterling was second with 58 points and first in Division I with 30 goals.
Also on the list of 10 were four netminders, including two from the ECACHL. League Player of the Year David McKee of Cornell led the nation in goals against average (1.24) and shutouts (10) entering the weekend, while Dov Grumet-Morris of Harvard was the Division I leader in save percentage (.949) and was second to McKee in goals against average.
Northern Michigan's Tuomas Tarkki, the CCHA Player of the Year, was named a finalist after compiling a 1.97 GAA a .933 SV%, the latter mark third in the nation. Also honored was Jordan Sigalet of Bowling Green, the Falcons' all-time leader in save percentage who announced earlier this season that he is battling multiple sclerosis.
One defenseman was named: Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year Reid Cashman, who led the nation in blueliner scoring with 43 points heading into the conference championships.
Three forwards rounded out the list, including Hockey East Player of the Year Patrick Eaves of Boston College, who ranked fifth nationally in points per game (1.41); CCHA scoring leader T.J. Hensick of Michigan, who was fourth in the country with 51 points; and the nation's assist leader, Michigan Tech's Colin Murphy, whose 53 points were good for third in Division I going into the weekend.
A group of three ultimate finalists, the "Hobey Hat Trick," will be culled from the current field of 10 and announced on Wednesday, March 30. The winner of the 25th annual award will be named Friday, April 8, during festivities at the 2005 Frozen Four in Columbus, Ohio.

While last season began like many in Alena Leonova's career, it ended in a much different way than any other.
The 21-year-old kicked off the new season by picking up a bronze medal at NHK Trophy, silver at Rostelecom Cup and qualifying for the Grand Prix Final, where she landed in third.
Capturing silver at the World Championships was an amazing moment she said. "I sure was happy when I won that medal. My plan for the season included winning a medal in Nice, but I was trying not to think about it," she said.

An African Safari is on many travelers wish list. But so many folks don't like the idea of motoring through the bush via jeep. It's cramps an active persons style when they would rather their own bodies provide the fuel that moves them from point to point. There are very few tour operators that offer alternative methods like trekking or horseback riding safaris. Now, for those of us that like to pedal our way up and down the vast veld of the world's most amazing landscapes, there is an African mountain-biking safari offered by H&I Adventures through http://mountainbikeworldwide.com.
Of course there is nothing wrong with being shepherded across the bush in a 4x4 vehicle, marveling at the native animals from behind metal and glass. However those intrepid adventurers that require a more physical experience can sign up for a 12-day guided mountain biking safari in Namibia that starts from the capital Windhoek onto the immense sand dunes of Sossusvlei and the fossil trees of Deadvlie, through the Namib Desert to Swakopmund, and finally to the legendary Etosha National Park. You might ask, can your legs and lungs bear it? If you are an avid mountain-biker, this is the only way to experience a landscape that provides a wealth of natural beauty with every pedal stroke. Euan Wilson, H&I Adventures Director, explains the rationale for launching this new tour in Namibia, "A safari in Africa is one of those really aspirational vacations, but if you're an active person like me, the thought of being a 'passenger' to the adventure in the confines of a jeep for 12 days doesn't really appeal."
As most of mountain-bikers know, it's from the saddle of a mountain bike that you feel a direct connection with the outdoors. This tour exposes travelers to the wildlife, and local communities. Can you imagine pedaling by a herd of grazing giraffes or zebra, oryx or kudu? These animals roam across the vast span of scrubby landscape of Namibia.
The visit to Etosha National Park is a highlight and considered one of the best parks in Africa to see lions, elephants, rhinos and an assortment of other wildlife. The chance to experience and learn first-hand about this world-renowned conservation effort; is just one of many successful programs in Namibia.
In addition to all this, what makes this mountain bike safari in Africa unique is the opportunity to cycle from the Skeleton Coast, in the shadow of the Brandberg mountains, to the Huab River, home to desert elephants, lions and black rhino.
If you are into a more authentic experience and mixing with the locals then maybe you will like sleeping under the stars on luxury campsites, and overnighting at farmstays, guest houses, small hotels, and even a former movie set! And since Namibia is also a coastal country, local dishes include fresh seafood from the and game meats like kudu cooked traditionally over the camp fire.
Wilson adds, "The nature of the terrain in Namibia means that this adventure can be enjoyed by anyone who is fit and active, whether they are an enthusiastic mountain biker or not. It may even be the perfect vacation to convince a partner or friend to share your passion for mountain biking!"
The first of these new mountain biking safaris in Namibia runs from September 23rd to October 4th, 2014 and places are limited to eight per tour. For price and details visit www.mountainbikeworldwide.com/bike-tours/namibia, or contact H&I Adventures directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Arterial base excess and lactate levels are key parameters in the assessment of critically ill patients. The use of venous blood gas analysis may be of clinical interest when no arterial blood is available initially. METHODS: Twenty-four pigs underwent progressive normovolaemic haemodilution and subsequent progressive haemorrhage until the death of the animal. Base excess and lactate levels were determined from arterial and central venous blood after each step. In addition, base excess was calculated by the Van Slyke equation modified by Zander (BEz). Continuous variables were summarized as mean +/- SD and represent all measurements (n = 195). RESULTS: Base excess according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards for arterial blood was 2.27 +/- 4.12 versus 2.48 +/- 4.33 mmol l for central venous blood (P = 0.099) with a strong correlation (r = 0.960, P < 0.001). Standard deviation of the differences between these parameters (SD-DIFBE) did not increase (P = 0.355) during haemorrhage as compared with haemodilution. Arterial lactate was 2.66 +/- 3.23 versus 2.71 +/- 2.80 mmol l in central venous blood (P = 0.330) with a strong correlation (r = 0.983, P < 0.001). SD-DIFLAC increased (P < 0.001) during haemorrhage. BEz for central venous blood was 2.22 +/- 4.62 mmol l (P = 0.006 versus arterial base excess according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards) with strong correlation (r = 0.942, P < 0.001). SD-DIFBEz/base excess increased (P < 0.024) during haemorrhage. CONCLUSION: Central venous blood gas analysis is a good predictor for base excess and lactate in arterial blood in steady-state conditions. However, the variation between arterial and central venous lactate increases during haemorrhage. The modification of the Van Slyke equation by Zander did not improve the agreement between central venous and arterial base excess.
