Java's Wrapper Classes
The difference between primitive types and reference types is one of Java's most controversial features, and developers often complain about the differences between primitive values and reference values.
Each primitive type is baked into the language.
Java has eight primitive types.
Each reference type is a class or an interface.
You can define your own reference type. So the number of reference types in Java is potentially endless.
Here's one of the primitive-versus-reference-type gotchas: You can't store a primitive value in an ArrayList. You can write
// THIS IS OKAY: ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
because String is a reference type. But you can't write
// DON'T DO THIS: ArrayList<int> arrayList = new ArrayList<int>();
because int is a primitive type. Fortunately, each of Java's primitive types has a wrapper type, which is a reference type whose purpose is to contain another type's value. For example, an object of Java's Integer type contains a single int value. An object of Java's Double type contains a single double value. An object of Java's Character type contains a single char value. You can't create an ArrayList of int values, but you can create an ArrayList of Integer values.
// THIS IS OKAY: ArrayList<Integer> arrayList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
Every primitive type's name begins with a lowercase letter. Every wrapper type's name begins with an uppercase letter.
In addition to containing primitive values, wrapper classes provide useful methods for working with primitive values. For example, the Integer wrapper class contains parseInt and other useful methods for working with int values:
String string = "17"; int number = Integer.parseInt(string);
On the downside, working with wrapper types can be clumsy. For example, you can't use arithmetic operators with Java's numeric wrapper types. Here's the way to create two Integer values and add them together:
Integer myInteger = new Integer(3); Integer myOtherInteger = new Integer(15); Integer sum = myInteger.intValue() + myOtherInteger.intValue();

Cher's hugely successful Dressed To Kill has been playing to sold out arenas across Canada and the U.S. and is currently on its way to becoming the top grossing tour of 2014 so far. The first leg of the ageless pop diva's D2K North American tour ended July 11 and has already grossed nearly $55 million.
According to Billboard Boxscore statistics posted on July 15 at Billboard.biz.com, the Goddess of Pop sold out all 49 shows on the initial run and grossed $54.9 million. The tour has packed in a total of 610,812 attendees thus far and Billboard predicts that D2K will rank among the top grossing tours of 2014.
Touring in support of her hit album Closer to the Truth, the "Believe" hit maker recently extended her farewell run into November. Currently on hiatus, the next round of dates kick off Sept. 11 in Albany, N.Y. at Times Union Center and wrap up Nov. 3 in Wichita, Kan. at Intrust Bank Arena. Canadian stops on the upcoming run include two new shows on Oct. 24 - Oct. 25 at Toronto's Air Canada Centre. For more information, check out Cher.com or AXS.com.
Cher launched her initial 49-city D2K Tour on March 22 in Phoenix, Ariz. amid endless applause and ovations except at one point in the show when the pop diva told fans that D2K "is my farewell, farewell tour," which earned the night's only chorus of boos from fans. The Grammy and Oscar winning performer seems far from retirement, currently riding the highest charting album of her career and a near sold-out tour
Did you know? Cher's latest album Closer to the Truth debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart, earning the ageless diva her highest-charting solo album to date.

Leah Evans is in the business of quilt-making. But seeing as how her creations feature aerial photography, maps, and satellite imagery, they are definitely not your grandmother's quilts.
Interested in the macro scale of satellite images and the minute systems of the microbial world, Leah Evans uses appliqué, needle-felting, hand printing, and embroidery to make these quilted wall hangings. Using her imagination and real world maps, she pieces together these quilted wall hangings that are at once scientific and deeply personal.
From her site:
"It is the use of maps in organizing our ideas of land that interests me most of all. Often people ask me for specifics about the places and symbols in my work. Most of my pieces are not consciously based on specific places. For me they are intimate explorations of map language and imagined landscapes. Through my research and experience I have decided that maps create more questions than they answer."

Press Release
Drilling rigs for rescue shafts in China: BAUER Group sells six RBT90 deep drilling rigs
Schrobenhausen – In mid-September BAUER Group company PRAKLA Bohrtechnik GmbH, a subsidiary of BAUER Maschinen GmbH, agreed to supply six universal drilling rigs of type RBT90 to the Chinese coal extraction company China National Coal Development Co. Ltd. The rigs will be used as necessary to sink emergency shafts in order to rescue trapped miners quickly and safely.
Prof. Thomas Bauer, Chairman of the Management Board of BAUER AG, comments: "With this sale we have made another major step forward in implementing the strategy of our new deep drilling business. We are proud that our machines are being deployed on such an important task, which demands high levels of technical reliability."
A key feature of the RBT90 drilling rigs from PRAKLA Bohrtechnik GmbH is their mobility: Built on a truck trailer, they can be moved quickly to any location where they may be needed. The six rigs are being built in the Bauer Maschinen plant at the corporate headquarters in Schrobenhausen, Bavaria. They will be shipped to six mine operating companies over the next 12 months.
Universal drilling rigs from PRAKLA Bohrtechnik GmbH are designed to cover a wide variety of applications and implement many different drilling methods, meaning the technical specifications stipulated by the customer were fully met. RBT90 drilling rigs offer a maximum load-carrying capacity of 90 tonnes. Their maximum drilling depth with small diameters is 3,000 metres. When drilling at 700 millimetres diameter, as specified by the customer in China, bores can be sunk down to a depth of 700 metres.
For example, the rescue shaft which had to be drilled in autumn 2010 in Chile was similar deep. At that time, a spectacular rescue operation called "The miracle of Chile" made headlines around the world: 33 miners spilled in the gold and silver mine San José had to endure 69 days until their rescue. After a nearly 700 metres deep rescue shaft had been drilled, it was finally possible to rescue al miners by means of a rescue capsule.

The Warwick Hotel in Denver added some exciting new guests to their hotel this May; their very own hive of bees will reside on the rooftop of the hotel.
The worker bees and their queen arrived Saturday, May 3. A second round of bees landed Saturday, May 10. The second shipment of bees contains nucs, which are partially established hives. The first set of bees is busy building honeycomb from scratch. The second group has already been busy buzzing away. Their honey will be ready for Executive Chef and designated caretaker to the bees, Jesper Jonsson, to harvest much sooner than the first hive.
The bee program at the Warwick will provide honey for cooking and cocktails for everything from their citrus honey-marinated sous vide salmon, honey balsamic dressing, desserts, and their signature cocktails and house-made bitters.
Why did the Warwick choose to nurture their own bees? There are a few reasons. Raw, unpasteurized honey tastes nothing like what you buy at the grocery store in the little golden bears. Raw honey is honey that has not been heated. Pasteurized honey, like you find in the golden bears, is highly processed to stabilize and lengthen the shelf life and to improve the look and appearance. It's been argued that raw, unpasteurized honey is healthier than pasteurized, processed honey. While heating and filtering of the honey during pasteurization, many of the nutrients may be lost.
Raw honey is expensive! It's easy to keep the cost of honey down when you simply walk onto the roof and harvest from your own hive. Colorado chefs are fantastic at sourcing local ingredients. Chef Jesper is no exception. He likes to buy local as much as possible. It doesn't get more local than harvesting your own ingredients at the restaurant, even in downtown Denver.
Beehives are amazing! They are truly one of nature's most efficient, organized, and productive creatures. Every hive has a single queen. She's large and in charge. The queen, shaped like a dark peanut, is about twice the size of the worker bees and drones. She lays all the eggs for the hive, up to 2,000 per day, at the rate of which her worker bees are dying. Except for the queen, the average bee has about a six week lifespan. She's continuously replenishing her workforce by laying eggs. All the queen's eggs are laid as the same type – kind of like a blank canvas. Once laid, she then gives instructions to the other bees on what to feed the eggs. What the egg is fed determines if they eventually become a worker, drone, or on rare occasion, a queen.
Bees are what make the world go 'round! Well at least the world of food. Without bees to pollinate, ecosystems all over the world would begin to breakdown. Mint, sage, thyme, chamomile, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, licorice, parsley, ginger, turmeric, cilantro, basil, chives, dill, fennel, lavender, lemon, balm, bay leaf, caraway, black pepper, cardamom, cloves, cumin, fenugreek, anise, nutmeg, and mustard seed all require help from bees to pollinate. Without bees carrots, beans, turnips, broccoli, bok choy, leeks, onions, artichokes, arugula, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, squash, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, radishes, asparagus, cauliflower, celery, kale, salad greens, and berries would all require hand-pollination. Without bees the world may still go 'round, but it wouldn't be as colorful and tasty as we know it!
Stop by Randolph's restaurant in the Warwick Hotel and try one of the recipes using honey. It'll change your mind on what you think of the queen bee and her honey.

Ran 10 miles yesterday!!!
Monday, April 15, 2013
Happy Monday!!!! Yay! Well I think it's going to be a busy week at work, stupid work. I'm not excited about it at all lately, things just aren't going my way. Whatever, it's been 5 years and barely anything here has gone my way.
Whatever, screw work! I had a great weekend! For once I didn't have anything planned. No events, no dates, no obligations etc.. it was great! The goal for this weekend was to eat healthy/within my WW points. Since I missed my Thursday run because I hit up a wonderful Happy hour with one of my friends, I made myself run those 3 miles after work on Friday. I did intervals for 1.5 miles and ran the rest for what MIGHT be a PR on the treadmill of 35:38.
On Friday night I relaxed and did nothing. I ended up catching up on some shows, doing my scrapbooking online and had a glass of wine with sir Josh. The wine was blackberry wine that we got for $5. It was terrible, too sweet for me and just tasted like juice haha. Josh loved it, weirdo. It also made me SUPER sleepy so I was almost dozing off in my computer chair a few times. For dinner I made an AMAZING breakfast bake. Not the healthiest, but holy crap did it turn out good. Hashed browns, sauteed onion, green/red pepper, sausage, egg, sour cream and some cheese. Plus plenty of spices and seasonings. I usually need ketchup on egg bakes, but nothing needed at alll for this guy! I was pumped since I didn't follow any recipe.
Saturday was Spring Cleaning day. More specifically spring "clean out all the closets and throw sh*t away whilst organizing and combining totes" It turned out great. Took us like 5 hours, but I moved around a lot so there was a small workout for my Saturday. That night my bff came over and we went to pick up Noodles for dinner. I got my favorite Whole grain tuscan linguini with parm chix. it's about 880 calories, but SO good! I didn't eat much that day anyway. I ended up going over my points on Saturday. I had 2 glasses of red wine, a pb twix (not even close to worth it) and had some (okay lots) of cheesy puffs. They were sent from heaven, until I hit the bottom of the bag and they were soaked in grease. Eww.
Dum dum DUMMM SUNDAY! Run 10 mile day. Whew. I was nervous and antzy. I woke up at 8 a.m, ate some egg bake and went back to bed for 2 hours. Woke up, dressed, loosened up and drove to the gym since it was 27 degrees outside. I think Saturday night I was sort of "carbing up" lol. So, I got my water bottle full, found a treadmill, paused it to go pee quick, came back and started running.
My plan was to run 5 miles non-stop, take a break and eat half my banana, run 3 more miles, take a break, and finish the last two. I got through the first 5 miles okay in 60 minutes. I had to stop for a bathroom break- I know wtf right! Refilled my water bottle (#2) and chomped half my banana. I was tired. SO I reset the time since I was going to have to stop at 90 minutes anyway. So I put on another 90 minutes (max time treadmill can go) and started again.
Holy crap this got hard fast. I was only able to get through 1.8 miles before I had to stop and walk. My legs were deadening, I could have chugged a gallon of water, maybe two and my breathing was tough. So I walked for 5 minutes and then started again. I stopped and started a few times. Had to fill up my water bottle again (#3) and cranked out the last .25 mile at 5.5. mph. I can't believe I did it. I ran 10 miles.
I ran T.E.N. EFFING MILES! My time was slower than I hoped- 2:05:25. However, I couldnt ask for more out of myself. I've never had to push myself so hard. When I finished I really just wanted to break down and cry. Not sure why, but I felt like I was utterly exhausted. I filled my water bottle again (#4) and ate the other half of my banana. Cooled down and then stretched like crazy. I've never been so sweaty in my life. Makes sense, der, I burnt ~1500 calories!!
So the rest of the day I felt like I was in a daze. Josh made me a protien shake with milk, I made a roast beef sammich and sat by the fireplace getting warm. I took a hot azz shower, relaxed for 3 minutes. I'm always freezing after I run, is that normal? Then went grocery shopping and came home and took a much needed nap. I woke up, made a pizza, ate half of it and headed over to my BFFs for Mad men and Game of Thrones- Sunday night ritual for us :)
When I got home I gave my boyfriend a little somethin somethin and literally passed out within 1 minute of getting comfortable.
This morning I decided NOT to do my 4 mile run tonight and enjoy some relaxing time. I don't even have to make dinner! Oh sweet joy :)
So this week is probably the first week that I completed ALL of my scheduled runs. Also this week was a successfully healthy week! I am hoping for an amazing weigh in on Wednesday and then possibly hitting the big 100lb lost mark within the next two. It's been a long time coming, but I feel like I'm ready and able to break down whatever barriers and walls I've built up against ONEderland.
This morning I was 203.5, the lowest this year and probably 3rd lowest ever! But Wednesday is the one I will record and keep. So maybe I could be even lower by then!
Everyone have a healthy week and enjoy spring! I know we're going to have like a day of it this week haha.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Navy kept its hold on first place and took another step towards capturing the top overall seed for the upcoming Patriot League Women's Basketball Tournament with Saturday night's win at home over Colgate.
The Mids improved to 10-2 in League play, giving them at least that many wins in two of the last three seasons. Army kept pace with its rivals with a 61-46 victory earlier in the day over visiting American, and clinched a home quarterfinal game in the League Tournament March 7. The loss for the Eagles dropped them into a fourth-place tie with Lehigh, which won Saturday night against rival Lafayette.
Moving up into third place was Holy Cross, which opened a full day of League action with a 57-49 win at the Hart Center over Bucknell.
All four home teams won Saturday, lending credence to the importance of hosting tournament contests.
Wednesday's slate features Lafayette hosting Colgate, Navy entertaining Lehigh, American hosting Bucknell and Army going to Holy Cross. All tipoffs are set for 7 p.m.
WORCESTER, Mass. - Holy Cross freshman Molly Hourigan scored a career-high 16 points as the Crusaders held off a late Bucknell rally to defeat the Bison 57-49 Saturday afternoon at the Hart Center.
Brisje Malone recorded a double-double with 11 points and a season-best 10 assists, and Alex Smith added 14 for Holy Cross (15-12, 7-5), which took over sole possession of third place in the Patriot League.
Lindsay Horbatuck led Bucknell with a team-high 15 points, and Audrey Dotson scored 10 points with seven rebounds. Shelby Romine and Katherine Harris had eight points apiece. Bucknell (13-14, 4-8) dropped its seventh in a row.
The Crusaders opened the game on a 7-2 run and took a 17-5 lead at the 13:10 mark of the first half. Dotson's layup brought Bucknell back within 19-11, and Dotson scored again with 5:31 to go to cut the Crusader lead to 21-14. Holy Cross replied by extending the lead to 31-18 at the break.
Amy Lepley's score inside extended the Crusader advantage to 46-25 at the 12:20 mark of the second, but the Bison put together a 10-2 run to make it a 53-41 game with 5:42 on the clock. Horbatuck finished off the run inside after a dish from Felicia Mgbada.
Smith dropped in a layup for Holy Cross to extend the lead to 14 points before Katherine Harris' trey lifted the Bison back within 55-44 with four minutes left.
Horbatuck and Shelby Romine logged back-to-back buckets for Bucknell to make it a 57-48 Holy Cross lead with 1:25 left, but time ran out on the Bison comeback.
Holy Cross shot 46.6 percent for the game despite going just 2 of 13 from the 3-point line. The Bison were 14 of 46 (30.4 percent) from the floor, and outscored the Crusaders 19-1 from the foul line.
WEST POINT, N.Y. - Kelsey Minato led all scorers with 20 points, and Olivia Schretzman and Brianna Johnson each scored 10 to lead Army to a 61-46 victory over American Saturday afternoon at Christl Arena.
With the victory, Army sewed up a home quarterfinal game in the Patriot League Tournament. The Black Knights will host on March 7.
Jen Hazlett grabbed eight rebounds and Schretzman hauled in six for the Black Knights (20-7, 9-3), who reached the 20-win plateau for the first time since 2006-07.
Geleisa George led the Eagles (13-13, 6-6) with 13 points, while Alexis Dobbs scored nine and Sarah Kiely narrowly missed a double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds.
The Black Knights opened the game on a 6-0 run, and wound up leading wire-to-wire. The Eagles cut Army's lead by half to 8-4 before the Black Knights orchestrated a 7-0 run to take control, and eventually moved ahead 22-12 on an Anna Simmers trey with 4:08 remaining in the half. Army had a 29-20 lead at the break.
The Black Knights opened the second on an 8-0 run to take a 38-20 lead at the 15:42 mark. The Eagles replied with a 13-3 run, with Dobbs' trey capping it off to lift American within 41-33 just short of midway through the second.
Kiely hit a 3 to cut American's deficit to seven points, and Shaquilla Curtis' score brought the Eagles within 47-40 with just under seven minutes remaining.
But the Black Knights regained control, with Johnson scoring underneath after a pretty pass inside from Schretzman to cap off a 6-0 run.
Army shot 42 percent from the field, and hit 19 of 22 from the foul line. The Eagles hit 19 of 37 from the floor (51.4 percent).
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Jade Geif led all scorers with 22 points and two teammates reached double figures as Navy (17-10, 10-2) swept the season series with Colgate with a 63-48 win Saturday night at Alumni Hall.
Geif, who scored 14 of her points in the first half, was 10 of 14 from the floor and finished with nine rebounds. Kara Pollinger had 17 points with six assists, Chloe Stapleton added 10 points and Alix Membreno scored seven with nine rebounds.
Mariah Jones led the Raiders (8-19, 2-10) with 14 points, while Josie Stockill scored eight and Lulu Brase grabbed a team-high five rebounds. Kelly Reid played eight minutes and scored four points, but missed the second half due to injury.
Geif scored Navy's first four points of the game, making her the 16th player in Navy history and the fifth Patriot Leaguer this season to reach the 1,000-point milestone. Her efforts helped the Mids out to an early 11-4 lead before Colgate rallied with a 6-2 spurt to cut the deficit to 13-10.
Jones sank three 3-pointers as Colgate hung with Navy and cut the Mids' lead to 29-26 late in the first half. But Navy replied with back-to-back baskets from Membreno and a Geif score to take a 35-26 advantage at the break.
Navy opened quickly in the second, building a 48-32 lead by the 14:28 mark. Colgate trimmed the 16-point deficit to eight at 52-44 at the under-8 media timeout.
The Mids regained control by going inside to Geif for two points before Stapleton sank a triple and Geif put in another deuce to give Navy a 59-44 advantage with over four minutes remaining.
The Mids owned a 39-33 advantage on the boards and shot 44 percent from the floor, despite hitting just 7 of 29 from the 3-point line. Colgate shot 35 percent and was 6 of 18 on treys.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Kerry Kinek's game-high 16 points and Becky Guman's 14 helped propel Lehigh to a 60-40 victory over Lafayette Saturday night at Stabler Arena.
With the win, Lehigh salvaged a season split with rival Lafayette, while improving to 14-13 overall and 6-6 in the Patriot League. The Leopards dropped to 11-16 and 4-8.
Guman hauled in nine rebounds to narrowly miss a double-double, while Kinek had eight.
Danielle Fiacco scored 13 points with five rebounds off the bench to pace the Leopards, while Emily Homan scored 10. Maddie Peabody had seven points and seven rebounds.
The Mountain Hawks rushed out to an 11-2 lead and moved in front 16-4 on Alexandra Yantzi's bucket, which forced Lafayette to call timeout to regroup. The Leopards replied by cutting the Lehigh lead to eight multiple times over the next few minutes, but Guman's three-point play put the Mountain Hawks up 25-14 coming out of the under-4 media timeout. Lehigh increased the lead to 29-16 at the intermission.
A Lindsay Hoskins bucket and a Guman 3 helped spark Lehigh's 9-2 run to open the second half, and it turned into a 15-3 spurt to put the Mountain Hawks up 44-19 at the 12:58 mark.
Peabody's fast break bucket dropped Lehigh's lead to 48-29 with seven minutes remaining. She followed up with a trey and Homan sank an inside score to bring Lafayette within 52-36 at the 3:51 mark, but that's as close as it would get.
Lehigh finished the game with a 47-40 edge on the glass, and shot 36.5 percent for the game. Lafayette hit just 23 percent from the floor and made only 1 of 17 attempts from the 3-point line.

Docket No. AB 6 (Sub-No. 475X)
BNSF Railway Company – Abandonment Exemption –
in Boulder County, Colo.
In this proceeding, BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) filed a notice of exemption under 49 C.F.R. § 1152.50 seeking exemption from the requirements of 49 U.S.C. § 10903 in connection with the abandonment of a line of railroad in Boulder County, Colorado. The rail line proposed for abandonment extends 1.37 miles from milepost 20.80 to milepost 22.17 at Lafayette (the Line). A map depicting the Line in relationship to the area served is appended to this Environmental Assessment (EA). If the notice becomes effective, the railroad will be able to salvage track, ties and other railroad appurtenances and to dispose of the right-of-way.
BNSF submitted an Environmental Report that concludes the quality of the human environment would not be affected significantly as a result of the abandonment or any post-abandonment activities, including salvage and disposition of the right-of-way. BNSF served the Environmental Report on a number of appropriate federal, state, and local agencies as required by the Surface Transportation Board's (Board) environmental rules [49 C.F.R. § 1105.7(b)].[1] The Board's Office of Environmental Analysis (OEA) has reviewed and investigated the record in this proceeding.
According to BNSF, no local rail traffic has been handled on the Line in over six years. The line is stub-ended and, therefore, does not handle overhead traffic. There are no stations located on the Line. The Line traverses predominantly suburban/urban areas. The average width of the right-of-way is generally 100 feet, 50 feet on each side of the centerline of the Line. The width of the right-of-way decreases on some segments to 50 feet. BNSF states that there are two private at-grade crossings and three public at-grade crossings on the Line. There are no bridges or other railroad structures on the Line. According to BNSF, there is little likelihood that the rail corridor would be needed for transit purposes, but it may be suitable for recreational trails. Based on information in BNSF's possession, the Line does not contain federally granted rights-of-way. BNSF indicates that some of the property underlying the right-of-way is reversionary, which could affect the transfer of the property for other than rail or rail-banking purposes.
Diversion of Traffic
According to BNSF, no rail traffic has moved over the Line in over six years. Accordingly, the proposed abandonment would not adversely impact the development, use and transportation of energy resources or recyclable commodities; transportation of ozone-depleting materials; or result in the diversion of rail traffic to truck traffic that could result in significant impacts to air quality or the local transportation network.
Salvage Activities
Impacts from salvage and disposal of a rail line typically include removal of tracks and ties, removal of ballast, dismantling of any bridges or other structures that may be present on the rail right-of-way, and regrading of the right-of-way. Salvage may be performed within the right-of-way, or, if necessary, via the construction of new access points to the right-of-way.
BNSF states that salvage activities related to the proposed abandonment would include the removal of the rails and ties, but the railroad right-of-way, ballast and culverts would remain in place. There are no bridges on the Line. BNSF salvage work for abandonments is performed by experienced rail material salvagers. Each salvage contract includes detailed information on any environmental or historical conditions imposed by the Board in its final decision. Completed work is independently inspected by BNSF to ensure compliance with BNSF standards of quality and all contractual obligations, including any Board imposed conditions.
BNSF salvage contractors would use specialized machinery placed on the railroad right-of-way in the salvage process. The culverts, ballast and right-of-way would remain intact so as not to alter the prevailing water flows along the Line. In addition, BNSF salvage contractors are required to limit their activities to the width of the right-of-way and not to place fill or other material in water bodies, including inland waterways. When the salvage process is complete, water flows in the area should not be disrupted. Road crossings would be removed and remediated, then repaved with gravel, asphalt or concrete, as required by governing authority. Any signals would also be dismantled and removed.
The City of Lafayette has indicated that the proposed abandonment is consistent with existing land use patterns and aligns with its Comprehensive Plans. According to BNSF, the City of Lafayette wishes to railbank the line for continuation of an existing trail.
The Boulder County Land Use Department has indicated that the proposed abandonment is consistent with both the City of Lafayette's and Boulder County's comprehensive plans, as well as the county's intergovernmental agreement with the City of Lafayette regarding the boundaries of the Municipal Influence Area for planning and annexation purposes.
BNSF does not believe that the proposed abandonment would have an adverse effect on prime agricultural land. BNSF states that there are no known hazardous waste sites or sites where there have been known hazardous material spills on the right-of-way.
The National Geodetic Survey has advised OEA that no geodetic station markers have been identified that may be affected by the proposed abandonment.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Mountain-Prairie Region has determined that the proposed abandonment would not be likely to adversely affect endangered or threatened species or areas designated as critical habitat. BNSF indicates that the proposed abandonment would not affect any wildlife sanctuaries or refuges, or any National or State parks or forests. The National Park Service, Intermountain Region has determined that no parks would be affected by the proposed abandonment, and therefore has no comments.
BNSF believes that the proposed abandonment is consistent with applicable federal, state and local water quality standards and would not require any permits under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. BNSF states that the proposed abandonment would not affect designated wetlands or 100-year flood plains. The proposed abandonment is not located within a designated coastal zone.
The U.S. Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District (Corps) has indicated that, based on the information provided, no Corps permits would be required for the proposed abandonment and related salvage activities.
OEA believes that any air emissions associated with salvage operations would be temporary and would not have a significant impact on air quality. Noise associated with salvage activities would also be temporary and should not have a significant impact on the area surrounding the proposed abandonment.
Based on all information available to date, OEA does not believe that salvage activities would cause significant environmental impacts
BNSF submitted an historic report as required by the Board's environmental rules [49 C.F.R. § 1105.8(a)] and served the report on the Colorado Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 1105.8(c). The SHPO has submitted comments stating that BNSF's Lafayette Bypass (BL.373.6) was determined to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) in 1990. SHPO has indicated, however, that removing the existing tracks without altering the existing bed, grade, or orientation is an undertaking that would have no adverse effect on this historic resource. BNSF states that salvage activities related to the proposed abandonment would include the removal of the rails and ties, but the railroad right-of-way, ballast and culverts would remain in place. The City of Lafayette has indicated to BNSF that it wishes to railbank the line for continuation of an existing trail.
Pursuant to the Section 106 regulations of the National Historic Preservation Act at 36 C.F.R. § 800.4(d)(1), and following consultation with the SHPO and the public, we have determined that the proposed abandonment would not affect historic properties within the right-of-way (the Area of Potential Effect, or APE) of the proposed abandonment listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register. The documentation for this finding, as specified at 36 C.F.R. § 800.11(d), consists of the railroad's historic report, all relevant correspondence, and this EA, which have been provided to the SHPO and made available to the public through posting on the Board's website at http://www.stb.dot.gov.
Pursuant to 36 C.F.R. § 800.2, OEA conducted a search of the Native American Consultation Database to identify federally-recognized tribes that may have ancestral connections to the project area.[2] The database indicated that the following federally-recognized tribes may have knowledge regarding properties of traditional religious and cultural significance within the APE of the proposed abandonment: Arapaho Tribe of the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Montana. Accordingly, OEA is sending a copy of this EA to those tribes for review and comment.
We recommend that no environmental conditions be imposed on any decision granting abandonment authority.
Based on the information provided from all sources to date, OEA concludes that, as currently proposed, abandonment of the line would not significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Therefore, the environmental impact statement process is unnecessary.
Alternatives to the proposed abandonment would include denial (and therefore no change in operations), discontinuance of service without abandonment, and continued operation by another operator. In any of these cases, the existing quality of the human environment and energy consumption should not be affected.
Following abandonment and salvage of the rail line, the right-of-way may be suitable for other public use. A request containing the requisite 4-part showing for imposition of a public use condition (49 C.F.R. § 1152.28) must be filed with the Board and served on the railroad within the time specified in the Federal Register notice.
A request for a notice of interim trail use (NITU) is due to the Board, with a copy to the railroad, within 10 days of publication of the notice of exemption in the Federal Register. Nevertheless, the Board will accept late-filed requests as long as it retains jurisdiction to do so in a particular case. This request must comply with the Board's rules for use of rights-of-way as trails (49 C.F.R. § 1152.29).
The Board's Office of Public Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and Compliance responds to questions regarding interim trail use, public use, and other reuse alternatives. You may contact this office directly at (202) 245-0238, or mail inquiries to Surface Transportation Board, Office of Public Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and Compliance, Washington, DC 20423.

The British Landmarks series revisits sites that are both harrowing and banal, sites that are ingrained in the British national consciousness, assessing the role of collective memory in our society.
The premise for this work is news as social tourism, where the audience view a version of Britain through their television screen, in newspapers and magazines. The series was made using disposable cameras, visiting that place you've always seen on the TV, creating snapshots that no longer remove the subject matter from daily life as the visual codes of the mass media do. British Landmarks examines the languages and codes of photography itself and the ways in which we use and receive it.
Closer to us than any ideal heritage site, British Landmarks appear mundane and awkwardly familiar.

Great customer service. Fair rates. Honest work without feeling pressured to get unnecessary work done.
I recently had my car worked on at Bothell way Garage. They did a great job, were very professional and I thought the price for the work was fantastic. Most importantly the car worked and is still working.
Got a simple oil change – great service! I actually got the date wrong for the oil change – was a day late. They fit me in an hour later and Bob actually drove me to a nearby cafe. They didn't seem pushy about extra services, just mentioned a couple that seemed valid.
I recently visited Bothell Way garage as my Toyota was did not pass the emission test. The staff was very friendly and they even offered to drop me to my office. They diagnosed the issue and told me the estimates to get that fixed.

Mackovic, 57, came to UA from a position as college football analyst for ESPN's national cable system in early December following the Nov. 24 resignation of former UA coach Dick Tomey, the school's coach for the past 14 seasons.
It's great to have John Mackovic as our football coach, and this makes it official, said Jim Livengood, UA director of athletics. Based on his time on the job so far, he's been outstanding in working to help us have a better football program.
It was the easiest negotiations for a contract that I've ever experienced, Mackovic said. Jim Livengood and UA President Peter Likins were right up front with everything they expected, and there were virtually no disagreements about any of the terms, he said.
The contract stipulates a $200,000 annual base salary with related compensation of $600,000 per annum as consideration for substantial public relations and financial benefits the University will derive. This includes such activities as radio and television programs, speaking engagements, public appearances and sponsorship and advertisement programs in which Mackovic participates.
Additionally, the contract includes incentive clauses for outstanding academic proficiency by football student-athletes, such as a $25,000 payment should the football team's combined grade point average be 2.7 or higher or the graduation rate of football players reach 75 percent or above. (Last year the team's graduation rate rated in the nation's top 10 at 65 percent.) The GPA clause varies for lower levels of proficiency, to a $5,000 bonus should it be 2.3 or higher, or the graduation rate exceed 55 percent.
Should the football team reach a Bowl Championship Series bowl Rose, Fiesta, Sugar or Orange Bowls Mackovic will receive an additional bonus of $50,000, and if the Wildcats reach a bowl game he would receive a $25,000 payment. The contract also calls for compensation of $100,000 if the Wildcats are selected as national champion in either the final Associated Press or ESPN/USA Today polls.
Because Mackovic's contract is a multi-year appointment of a head coach or athletics director, under policy it stands as a one-year contract until the Board of Regents' approval this month.

TUALATIN, Ore. — The walking wounded materialized from the Trail Blazers' training room on Sunday afternoon.
First, the encouraging news.
When Wesley Matthews left Saturday night's game with throbbing pain in his left hip flexor, he could barely walk. He woke up Sunday and could lift his left leg again without grimacing.
"It's a lot better than what it was yesterday," Matthews said on Sunday afternoon. "It was a big jump from last night to today and I'm hoping for another big jump like that for (Monday)."
Now, the ominous part.
Nicolas Batum was forced out of the game with a sore back. Afterwards, he spent an hour on the phone with his French osteopath, slept uncomfortably through the night and woke up Sunday morning feeling worse than ever before.
"I doubt it. I don't think I'll go tomorrow," Batum said on whether he would play in the Blazers' Monday night game against the Toronto Raptors. "Where I am right now is worse than yesterday. The last time I was on the court, the team played bad because I couldn't do anything."
As the Blazers practiced, the two injured starters sat out.
Matthews, with four adhesive pads stuck to his bare left side, walked around with an "H-Wave" device that created passive muscle contraction.
It was quite a change of pace for the durable Matthews, who has avoided significant injuries and never missed a game in his NBA career. The streak of 250 consecutive games started during his Utah Jazz days, so he has spent little time answering questions about such things like injuries and missing time on the court.
Matthews could use some help with his clichés.
"You don't want to further injure anything — this is a first, you know, I don't talk like this," Matthews said, interrupting his thought.
Matthews tried to continue: "Further injure anything and all that, what have you. I don't know."
Batum suggested he would see a local chiropractor after practice but already received advice from his trusted source Fabrice Gautier, the Los Angeles-based therapist who has treated Batum on the French national team.
Batum credits Gautier for healing his bad back within a matter of days during the Summer Olympics, but the chances for another quick recovery are slim — on Wednesday, Gautier departs for a Christmas vacation in France.
While Matthews hopes for another significant leap and Batum faces his limitations, the Blazers could very well play Toronto without two of their leading scorers.
Batum, who has started all 20 games for the Blazers, played only 17 minutes and scored five points on Saturday night in the 99-80 loss to Sacramento. In healthier moments, Batum averages 16.3 points in 37.8 minutes a game. Batum also leads the team with 49 3-point makes.
Matthews — just the thought of an injury ending his streak has made him lose sleep — shot well during a second-quarter stretch on Saturday and finished with 14 points, just two behind his season average.
"When two of your top four scorers are out, it is (unsettling)," coach Terry Stotts said. "But injuries happen in this league and someone usually has to step in and fill the void. That's what the guys will do."

If Facebook's "satire" tag is successful, there are hints that this kind of warning might merit wider application. South Carolina's WCSC reported yesterday that Alex Stone, a 16-year-old student at Summerville High School, was arrested Tuesday morning for claiming in a class assignment that he had shot and killed his neighbor's dinosaur.
The assignment, for which students were instructed to write a Facebook-style status about themselves, took a surprising turn when a teacher took exception to the use of the word "gun" and the phrase "take care of business" in the "post" Stone turned in. The student was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, and was subsequently suspended by school officials for the remainder of the week. Searches of both Stone's knapsack and locker failed to turn up the gun he said he used to kill the dinosaur.
Earlier this week, Facebook addressed displeasure and confusion by some of the social media site's users in relation to satirical and parodic content produced by online publications such as "The Onion" by introducing a tag that would notify people that the content of these sites was not, in fact, "real."
School officials and police have justified Stone's arrest and suspension by stating that, due to the rash of school shootings and related violence, all references to gun play will be taken seriously in order to prevent future tragedies. No comment was made as to whether Stone was emulating famed film director Steven Spielberg, who was subjected to social media criticism earlier this year due to reports, ultimately proven false, that he, too, had killed a dinosaur.
When questioned, Stone told school authorities that his fulfillment of the assignment was meant as a joke. Stone's mother, Karen Gray, acknowledged the school's position in being proactive in the face of a perceived threat, but feels that suspension and arrest were perhaps an overreaction. "I mean first of all," she said, "we don't even have dinosaurs anymore."
Early reports have not commented on what kind of dinosaur Stone claimed to have killed.

A Rust-Free Giulietta for Your Garage
Today we've found you a superbly maintained 1959 Giulietta Veloce Spider wrapped in arguably one of the two best colors for this car. We spotted this car at Fantasy Junction, where you can see the full lot of photos in uber-megapixel detail.
Loving a Giulietta is easy to do: It's a true Italian sports car, handles as such, and offers great two-seat fun in a small package. Today's car appears to be meticulously maintained. The photos confirm this car has been treated with great care throughout its life and surely has much life left to live. Here's a little excerpt taken from the listing to whet your appetite:
Genuine, factory 1300cc Veloce. Perhaps the most desirable of the Veloce Spider variants employing the more modern 101 series underpinnings while retaining the highly desirable 750 series short wheel base chassis. Correct date range engine number, likely original to this chassis. 5 speed transmission with rare "tunnel case" shift knob. Sold new in California and still registered on California black plates. Featuring an ultra solid dry climate undercarriage, Restored and rebuilt in 1982, just one Northern California owner since.
Giuliettas are still relatively easy to find, but the price and condition vary. Of course, Giuliettas are subject to corrosion, so unless you're willing to shell out the money for new metal, you'll want to find a rust-free example. If you decide this Giulietta belongs in your garage, let us know; we'll keep you company at this spring's California Mille.

Ring2 Media
Turns Ads Into Live,
Inbound Calls – and Sales
By Marc Jennings
Goodbye, cold calls. Goodbye, expensive leads. Goodbye and good riddance to the customer chase. Hello to a better way of making sales and making money.
Ring2 Media does for its clients what advertisers and telemarketers certainly have wanted to do for decades: prequalifies prospects, delivers them directly to sales professionals and leaves nothing to be done except the closing. How – with today's wall of Do Not Call laws – has Ring2 accomplished this?
The company has changed the direction of business from outbound sales calls to inbound purchasing calls. Consumers catch an ad and dial the phone. And people who might once have said, "Don't call us!" are now calling you. They don't need to be sold. They want to buy.
Company founder and CEO Mark Fidel has a background in running call centers and buying media. This collective experience gave him a perfect vantage point to spot and solve the costly flaws in the process. "In response to 'Do Not Call' telemarketing compliance laws, marketers were forced to generate inbound calls," Fidel says. "Many call centers buy traditional media, then cross their fingers and hope they get calls. Good luck with that. We offer a better choice. We generate the calls and our clients buy them from us, paying only for the calls we send them. That's performance-based marketing, and it's a no-brainer. Ring2 Media assumes the risk, freeing up clients to focus on their core business – selling."
Fidel has really simplified the process. Clients dictate the advertising medium they want to deploy – TV, radio, print, Internet – whatever they want. Ring2 Media makes the media purchase. Interested prospects phone the toll-free number. Calls come to Ring2 Media's central hub, where software immediately relays them to the appropriate client call center – and a sales representative answers. Ring2 Media records the calls, and staff members monitor them for quality. The key here is that clients simply tell Ring2 Media how many calls they want and pay a set price per call, so they know what they're spending before they spend anything. This works for companies that need a high volume of calls and for those where a smaller but still steady flow of calls is better.
Fidel says it's important for clients to staff their call centers with sales professionals. For example, an insurance company needs a licensed agent taking the calls. "That's the only way this will work. It streamlines things on the client's end, and it also benefits consumers because they don't have to waste their time talking to some call center agent who isn't really qualified to field the difficult questions. "Your job is to close those sales," he says. "Our job is to light up your switchboard."

Softball Downs UConn, 6-2
April 23, 2003
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts softball team (26-12, 7-1 A-10) overcame a 2-0 third inning-deficit to down the University of Connecticut (18-19-1), 6-2, this afternoon at the UMass Softball Complex. The Minutewomen have now won 48 straight home games.
The Huskies scored two runs, one of which was unearned, off of UMass senior pitcher Kaila Holtz (North Vancouver, British Columbia) in the top of the third inning to take a 2-0 lead. It marked the first time that the Minutewomen had trailed at home this season. In the bottom of the inning, UMass loaded the bases with two outs, but Holtz struck out swinging to end the threat. The Minutewomen did, however, get one of the runs back when pinch runner KC Budrewicz (Buckland, Mass.) scored on a wild pitch.
The Minutewomen then took the lead for good in the bottom of the fourth inning with three runs. A double by junior Jamie Cahalan (Mesa, Ariz.) scored pinch runner Kristi Stefanoni (Columbus, N.J.) to tie the game, while senior Emily Robustelli (Stamford, Conn.) delivered a two-RBI single to right giving UMass a 4-2 lead. Both Cahalan and senior Anna Perey (Chino Valley, Ariz.), who had singled earlier, scored on the play.
UMass added two more insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth to put the game away. With two outs, sophomore Denis Denis (Middle Grove, N.Y.) hit a two-RBI double to center field putting Massachusetts up 6-2. It scored sophomore Hilary Puglia (Stoneham, Mass.), who had walked, and senior Brandi Cross (Diamond Bar, Calif.), who reached first base on a wild pitch after striking out.
Holtz settled down after the third inning to improve her record to 14-7 on the year. She gave up five hits and two walks, while fanning eight. Hitting from the No. 9 spot, Perey was a perfect 3-3 on the day, while Robustelli went 2-4 at the leadoff position. UConn pitchers Michelle Caoutte and Claire Hesson combined to walk five batters and throw three wild pitches.
Massachusetts will host St. Bonaventure in A-10 Conference action on Friday, April 25. The doubleheader at the UMass Softball Complex is slated to begin at 3:00 p.m.

First, to those of you suggesting I try the dark chocolate caramels from Trader Joe's: DARN YOU! I tried them. Why didn't you warn me? They were as delicious as you suggested and they are now gone. I've got a swimsuit vacation coming up and those did not help. Thank you, you vixens!
You probably already know this, but if there is something you don't like at Trader Joe's, you can return it (without a receipt, even) and they will give you a store credit refund. Last month I brought back two boxes of peanut butter caramel truffles that nobody liked, one of which was half eaten, and an opened box of dog biscuits that Bowie didn't seem to like. No questions, just a full refund. Try away.
This face wash with tea tree oil is not for the weak and sensitive. It is strong stuff. If it gets in your eyes, you are toast. But it works better than anything else I have ever tried. One squirt is all you need, so it lasts a long time, too.
I only wash my face once a day and, being the desert dweller that I am, put on a ridiculous amount of face lotion. My face has had nary an adult pimple for months. Just a year or two ago when I started to use this face wash, I was guaranteed a few pimples every month. I kind of miss them. (not really... I've got kids now!)
|one is almost gone, so I am prepared. Except that last bit is lasting longer than expected.
Check it out. And if you hate it and can't keep it out of your eyes, return it. Easy peasy!

America's birthday is only a few short days away and it's not too late to begin planning your weekend celebration! No matter what your holiday plans include, there will definitely be fireworks. The great thing about this patriotic holiday is that it's a very low-maintenance occasion, one that requires very little in the way of special attire, decorations, and even refreshments. This particular holiday can be just as spectacular with a basic red, white and blue theme, casual dress and simple food and drink options.
Make your party shine this year, above all others with specialized drinks and food to fit with the holiday theme. Not only can you incorporate red, white and blue into your menu, but you can also create drinks with catchy names that will not only get the attention of your guests, but keep them coming back for more!
For this year's 4th of July celebration, why not spark your own fireworks for friends and family with a bit of Hornitos Tequila? Whether hanging out by the pool, at a smokin' BBQ or at an inside venue, take your party to the next level with Hornitos because it's not just any tequila!
Strawberry Fireworks
3 parts Hornitos Plata Tequila
Handful of fresh strawberries
Juice from 1 lime
2 teaspoons super-fine sugar
Fresh pepper
1 cup club soda
Preparation: Put strawberries in a small pitcher and mash to your desired consistency. Add juice, club soda, Hornitos® Plata and combine along with 4 good grinds from the pepper mill. Fill 2 glasses halfway with ice and divide drink among glasses.
Hornitos® Lime Shot takes the process out of the whole tequila experience. No need for blenders or the traditional tequila ritual, this shot already combines the salt + tequila + lime! Serve the shot chilled in a glass for the ultimate Lime Shot experience.

College Hockey:UAA Narrows Coaching Field to Two
Assistants Hill and Shyiak Emerge as Top Candidates to Replace Talafous
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Minnesota assistant John Hill and Northern Michigan assistant Dave Shyiak are the two finalists for the vacant head coaching position at Alaska-Anchorage, according to athletic director Dr. Steve Cobb. The vacancy was created when Dean Talafous was fired last month, after five years at the helm.
Cobb, chair of the three-person search committee, received at least nine applications, according to the Anchorage Daily News. The committee met to narrow down the choices to a final two; each will be interviewed on campus during the next week.
Hill is a former Seawolf team captain, and was an assistant coach under UAA's first head coach, Brush Christiansen, from 1991-95. Hill went on to become an assistant at Colorado College from 1995-99, before following head coach Don Lucia to Minnesota. Hill's only head coaching experience came with Dubuque of the USHL from 1989-91.
Shyiak has been an assistant at Northern Michigan under Rick Comley for seven seasons. He has head coaching experience in the British Columbia Junior A Hockey League and the Rocky Mountain Junior A Hockey League. Shyiak was co-captain of Northern Michigan's 1991 National Championship team.
Hill is scheduled to interview in Anchorage next Monday and Tuesday. A reception for Hill will be held on Monday evening and will be open to the public. Shyiak will be on campus Wednesday and Thursday, April 18-19. The public is invited to meet Shyiak at a reception on Thursday evening.
Christiansen, who coached for 17 years, and Talafous are the only two head coaches the UAA program has ever known.
Other applicants for the opening, according to the Anchorage Daily News, included St. Cloud State assistant Doc DelCastillo; former Seawolf captain and successful area high school coach Dennis Sorenson; former UAA assistant Mark Ostapina, the head coach at Division III New England College; and Wisconsin assistant Pat Ford.

B-CU Has Strong Third Place Showing at Cobra PUMA
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 10/28/2013
MIROMAR LAKES, Fla. – Sophomore Ryan Fricker recorded his third under-par tournament of the year on Monday, finishing in a tie for seventh place to lead the Bethune-Cookman men's golf team to a third place appearance at the Cobra PUMA Invitational. The two-day event took place at the Miromar Lakes Golf Course and was hosted by Xavier University.
Fricker, a native of Ivybridge, England and NCAA Regional participant a season ago, finished the three-round tournament with scores of 74, 72 and 68 (214 total), respectively. He would finish with a 2-under-par scorecard, and sit alongside Matt Cote (Florida Gulf Coast) and Gregory Podufal (Georgetown) in a tie for seventh place overall.
Senior Emmanuel Petrich (72-75-70=217, +1) finished just three shots back of Ryan Fricker, tied for 13th overall.
Sophomore Leon Fricker (74-71-78=223, +7), the leader for the Cats on Sunday, dropped from 11th place on Sunday, down to a tie for 30th Monday. The younger of the two Fricker brothers turned in a 6-over-par card in the final round.
Senior Matthew McKnight (72-76-76=224, +8) finished tied for 33rd after a pair of 4-over rounds, followed by classmate Rafael Abad (81-82-69=232, +16) in a share of 57th. Abad fired his best round of the year through the final 18 holes, finishing with a 3-under-par score. He bested his previous low round of 71 in the final round of the season-opening event at the Rutgers Invitational.
As a team, Bethune-Cookman (292-294-283=869, +5) turned in its third top five finish of the campaign with the third place appearance on Monday. The Wildcats were just a stroke behind second place competitor Florida Atlantic (291-292-285=868, +4), while Florida Gulf Coast (282-286-287=855, -9) claimed the team trophy.
B-CU gets back out on the links next week at the nearby Stetson/CFSC Invitational in DeLand, Fla. The event runs Nov. 4-5, and is hosted by Stetson University.

The Prusik knot. Where would kite-fliers be without this great shiftable, lockable knot... A bit of a pain to tie at first, but it makes adjusting a bridle so easy! Pulling the bridle straight unlocks the knot, letting you shift it along the bridle line. Pulling on the lines as pairs as in the last photo causes the knot to fold, locking it in place.
I use the Prusik on horizontal bridle loops to shift the knot left or right across the kite, for trimming purposes. More commonly, it's also used to slide up and down the bridle line of, say, a Diamond kite to adjust the Towing Point fore and aft.
On kites with 4 legged bridles, arranged as an upper and lower loop plus a connecting line, this means 3 shiftable knots. For example, the Dowel Rokkaku and Dopero. At least you only have to tie these knots once.
Although it seemed a little excessive at the time, I took this approach on even my smallest Dopero. A tiny kite with a 30cm (12") wingspan. But it sure paid off, since some fiddling was required to get a decent flight out of it!
More recently, I have also used this knot on the vertical bridle loops of a large Genki. Same deal, tiny adjustments can trim the kite left or right.Now, if you really want to go overboard with knot-tying...
There are other ways, some possibly a little simpler, to obtain a shiftable knot. However, the Prusik has worked so well for me over the years that it's the one I would recommend.
This mountaineering knot was invented in 1931 by Dr. Karl Prusik. With one 's'. At least this web-master has finally got it right. Many others still haven't! Prusik later authored a mountaineering manual, which was the first publication to feature this well-known sliding knot.
Tying a Prusik knot actually becomes fun after a while, funnily
enough! Be sure to put a Simple knot into the short end of the line
though, since constant use tends to pull line through the knot. The
short end gets noticeably shorter than you remember tying it originally.
Perhaps this happens during locking and unlocking...

"Love the easy to understand step by step instructions, made from next to nothing materials and above all so much fun to fly... cheers Tim for sharing your well thought out pdf kite designs with the whole world.
Very satisfying making your own and watching them get air-born for the first time."
"I've just bought your super e-book and spent most of last night pouring through all the great stuff in it!
Very detailed and USEFUL information - thanks for such a great book."
years ago, I tried making a kite using the 'instructions' in a free
kite-safety booklet. What a disappointment for a young boy.
Your instructions and methods are wonderful. You help the builder to focus on accuracy, without making it hard. Also, you use materials that are durable, yet cheap!"

Newport Beach Artist Paul Bryan Jr. specializes in portraits of famous celebrities, admirable philosophers and significant U.S. Presidents. Bryan who considers himself a self taught artist says that his hyper-realistic style of art came as result of his love for oriental art paired with western pop-culture. His wide painting collection of admirable super stars such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Axle Rose and many others are on display displayed at American and European museums. Dozens of actors, musicians and politicians own his paintings including David Lee Roth who selected one of Paul Bryan's master pieces for one of his album covers.
California Beach Sushi Restaurant on Lido Island in Newport Beach has showcased Bryan's artwork for several years. Below are recent photos of his paintings taken at the restaurant.
