Picking the most beautiful hikes in Utah is akin to a parent of multiple offspring being challenged to declare a favorite. Ask the most experienced of trail hounds or pick up any guidebook on the subject, and you'll get different responses. Utah's stunning array of natural geography makes it hard to pick and choose, but certain hikes regularly land on best-of lists in major guidebooks, like Fodor's and Frommer's, as well as local publications. From high alpine trails and red rock desert canyon treks to jaunts beside a lake as big as a small sea, the list can seem endless but the task endlessly rewarding as you begin to explore some of the Beehive State's most scenic trails.
Mount Timpanogos
Summer is the best time to hike to the summit of 11,749-foot Mount Timpanogos in the Wasatch Mountains, when you catch the colorful wildflowers in bloom on high Alpine basins. Even though it may be scorching hot in the valley below, along the Timponeekee Trail you'll also encounter a glacier-like snowfield -- which many people slide down after mounting the summit -- where you can take in a view of cities and wilderness areas with one panoramic sweep of the head. Along the way, you'll pass through canyons filled with lush evergreen forest, see waterfalls and marvel at the sight of Emerald Lake cradled beneath the sawtooth peaks of this enormous mountain. Get an early start and allow all day for this sometimes strenuous, 15-mile hike.
Navajo Loop and Queen's Garden
A testament to Utah's many natural treasures is the existence of five national parks, all of them in the southern half of the state. Bryce Canyon National Park contains many trails providing otherworldly scenery, but none so much as the Navajo Loop and Queen's Garden trail. These two trails can be combined to make one big 3.5-mile loop that showcases the best scenery in Bryce, from the rim of the canyon to the floor and back and past the rare rock spire formations known as hoodoos the park is famous for that resemble a metropolis of stone. Begin at Sunset Point, head down the steep part of the trail through Wall Street, follow the signs for Queen's Garden up to Sunrise Point, then back along the rim to your starting point.
Lower Calf Creek Falls
This flat and sandy southern Utah out-and-back trail is pretty enough, but when you begin to hear falling water a few miles in on the 6-mile round trip trek, the anticipation grows. Then, a slice of paradise comes into view as you reach an oasis in the desert where trees surround a shimmering pool of emerald water and 126-foot Lower Calf Creek Falls plunges over a giant wall of multi-hued rock. It's a storybook setting that might have you wondering if you fell through a rabbit hole somewhere along the way and ended up in a red rock version of Hawaii.
Delicate Arch
Utah's most iconic symbol can be seen on one of its more popular hikes. The state's license plates and seemingly every bit of tourism marketing material released by Utah sport Delicate Arch, inside Arches National Park. Type "Utah" into any search engine, look at the related images, and Delicate Arch will show up multiple times near the top of the page. See this fragile-looking Navajo sandstone arch for real from multiple angles and up close by taking the 3-mile trail leading from the Wolfe Ranch homestead in the park to base of the arch. Just after sunrise or just before sunset are the best viewing times. You really don't want to forget your camera on this hike.
Frary Peak on Antelope Island
Some of the more spectacular views of the Great Salt Lake can be seen from the Frary Peak Trail on Antelope Island. The island is a state park reached via a 7-mile causeway from the mainland north of Salt Lake City. On the trail leading to the island's highest point, you'll take in sweeping coastline views reminiscent of the Irish coast in places. The island also contains and abundance of wildlife, including a free-roaming herd of bison and bighorn sheep. You won't find much shade along this mostly treeless 7-mile trail, making the sightseeing easier but sunscreen a must. Get an early start, because the trail closes at 6 p.m.

NRL grills Gold Coast Titans boss Michael Searle
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 04, 2012
MICHAEL Searle was yesterday summoned to NRL headquarters to learn the preliminary findings of an independent audit into his crumbling Titans empire.
Under immense pressure to relinquish control, Searle met with NRL boss David Gallop for the first time since league accountants last month uncovered a $25 million debt that is threatening the club's future.
The embattled Gold Coast supremo was flanked by business associates when he arrived at Sydney's League Central for the crucial talks yesterday morning.
He left several hours later still at the helm of the Titans, who desperately need to off-load Searle's debt-ridden property arm to stand any chance of survival in their current form.
Is it time for the NRL to strip Searle of Titans? Have your say with Josh Massoud from 12:30pm.
Searle's colleagues were identified as fellow investors in the building, which is being shadowed by a $13.4 million Commonwealth Bank mortgage that is guaranteed by the NRL club. It is understood Gallop was joined by several top dogs, including members of the Australian Rugby League Commission (ALRC).
As Searle flew back to the Gold Coast last night, Gallop confirmed that the NRL's independent auditing firm had completed its draft report into the debacle.
"We met with Michael and investors in the Centre of Excellence at our offices today to discuss the building and the club," Gallop said.
"There are a number of complex and inter-related factors, including finalising the report from the accountants we appointed to look into the club, and we discussed some of those with Michael.
"The club is continuing its business and we will continue to work with all parties to look at every possible scenario."
Those scenarios include having Searle report to a board of directors, or working in conjunction with former Broncos CEO Bruno Cullen.
Should Searle, who owns 80 per cent of the NRL club and did not respond to requests for comment last night, have to be extricated, two rival consortia bidding for the Titans licence would be considered.
However, the NRL is intent on giving Searle every chance to resolve the mess given his strong relations with Gallop and groundwork in establishing the ALRC.
Gold Coast skipper Scott Prince labelled the saga a "distraction" after last weekend's loss to Canterbury.
The admission came despite Searle personally reassuring the entire team of the club's viability just days before the match.

Mother Nature is making up for a very rainy July and August with beautiful fall weather along the beaches of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, and there are a number of weekend festivals to help people take advantage of the warm temperatures and sunny skies.
- 42nd annual National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores -- For the 42nd time Gulf Shores welcomes the National Shrimp Festival to town, and if Thursday's crowd is any indication, it's going to be one of the biggest yet.
With musical performances by Eve rclear, Blackjack Billy, Will Kimbrough and more, as well as a sand sculpting contest, 5K/10K run, and "American Idol"-style singing competition, Shrimp Fest is about a lot more than just shellfish.
- Pirates take Panama City Beach -- Buccaneers are invading Panama City Beach again in the third annual Pirates of the High Seas Festival at Pier Park. The festival includes fireworks, parades, music, contests, a road race
and culminates with a block party topped off by one of Panama City Beach's
signature "Family Beach Ball Drops," when 8,000 inflatable beach
balls are released from nets above the streets of Pier Park.
Saturday's activities get started at 2 p.m. with a mock sea battle between pirates in front of the City Pier. The pirates will then make their way through the streets of Pier Park before the pirate costume contest and main parade.
Sunday will be a block party with musical performances by Alex Angelo, Timeflies & 2013 Teen Choice Award Winner Emblem3.
- Pensacola Beach Art and Wine Festival -- Pensacola Beach welcomes chefs and wine lovers to the Portofino Boardwalk this Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the Pensacola Beach Art and Wine Festival. Tickets to the event are $30.
- Martini Fest bites the dust -- Pensacola Beach was supposed to be getting shaken and stirred with the Martini Festival in addition to the art and wine events. That is until a legal dispute among the organizers forced them to cancel the entire event.

Triple Seven powder

> Triple Seven powder
October 12, 2008, 01:44 AM
Found a local supplier that had exactly one choice for black, the Triple Seven FFFG substitute, which I would like to try in my 1858 Remington Sheriff Pietta clone. Any thoughts/experiances/tips with this stuff?

Keep your charges at no more than 25gr. because it is a little hotter than Black Powder & Pyrodex.
777 does not like to be compressed that much so all you need is to just have the ball/bullet sitting on the powder not compressing it.
If you are using a Wad same thing applies as before don't compress the load too much or you may end up with a FTF or a HF.
October 12, 2008, 06:44 AM
Voodoochile is right on the mark.
With 777 you need to use 10-15% less by volume than your normal black powder load, and it does not like to be tightly compressed. Just be sure the ball is seated.
777 has a higher ignition temperature than black powder, but regular caps should be adequate. Some people feel that magnum caps are more reliable with 777 but my experience is that regular caps will work fine if the powder is not compressed too much.
October 12, 2008, 10:19 AM
I have probably had 2 misfires with tripple seven over something like 600 shots or more, and I'm willing to bet it was clogged nipples both times.
You'll love 777, it's so easy to clean, fouling is minimal, etc. Just multiply the charge of regular black powder you want to emulate by 0.85 and that will give you the 777 ammount.
Have fun!
October 12, 2008, 05:01 PM
Triple 7 absorbs water, much like BP, so it will cause rust if it's not cleaned out well.
October 12, 2008, 06:35 PM
Actually both 777 powder and black powder are only slightly hygroscopic. However, the combustion by-products (fouling) of both do contain salts that are mildly hygroscopic; my experience with both says that black powder is significantly worse in that regard. I regularly swab my guns after each session with bp solvent before leaving the range and clean thoroughly within 24 hours of each session. I would suggest you do the same.
October 12, 2008, 07:59 PM
well... bp isn't really hygroscopic when it is still in powder form is it, not badly anyhow. 777 is much more hygroscopic in powder form because it is sugar based, regular bp's only hygroscopic component it the kno3, but 777 has kno3 and the sugar, and whatever else they may have decided to put in it. i do really like the 777 though, especially more shots/lb due to reduced load but that still doesn't offset the price difference imo. have fun makin' smoke
October 12, 2008, 09:23 PM
There's the fun of it - which loading data? Two manuals that came WITH the sidearm say the following; Peitta max load 15gr FFFG of black, and Cabelas, which states 35 gr black, 28 gr Pyrodex. Those came IN the box, then my Hogdon manual says 20gr 777 to 25 gr, in a steel frame 1858, (which I have), so therein lies my disquiet. I am thinking the Hogdon data is probably the one to use, and the Peitta data is meant to keep charges weak, to prevent gun breakage and lawsuits.
Thanks for the help guys - one last question. Howintheheck do you use an inline capper? One came with it, never used one before.
October 12, 2008, 09:35 PM
i dunno how to use those cappers either, they are either too tight to release the cap or too loose an they fall out or just right but wont feed or the caps fall over....soooo much trouble with em lol. i do wish something would help cause i got a deal on 1000 #10 primers for 25$, plus i had 500 at the house an about 300 more #11's...... an in the cold that will make yer thumb hurt in a hurry tryin to put all those little caps on!:cuss:
October 12, 2008, 09:39 PM
i think 27g 777 works pretty good, its a little over recommended load but go with what you feel is safe in your gun, thats only target for me though, about 35-40 yds back that load only went about half an inch into a 2 by 4 steak and was 6" low, but dead center horizontally lol
October 12, 2008, 09:44 PM
Which is funny because it says on the website to reduce by 15%. SO, if cabelas says 35 gr. bp then it should be 30 grs. for the 1858. (35x.15=5.25;35-5(rounded)=30 gr.) However hodgdon recommends 25 instead.
I have used 35 grs. of 777 in my 1858 before. Most of the time I use 30. grs.
I have even loaded 40 gr in it, and WOW, that was a real hit of power. It was very inaccurate though as I had to compress the load to get it in. As stated before 777 does not like to be compressed. I don't recommend the 40.
October 12, 2008, 10:11 PM
(I copied that^ lol:D) yes i've loaded up an over 40g 777 too no wad or anything, jus a little bore butter i got a hair over 45g POW:what:! very strong guns, i guess manufacturers could be trying to cover brass and steel frame revolvers in the same statement though. 30g of most powders seems to be a good load, maybe on the heavy side though:scrutiny:
October 12, 2008, 10:14 PM
I agree, I wouldn't want to throw that much powder in a brass framed gun at all.
(I copied that^ lol)
Hey, if it works, go for it! :D
October 12, 2008, 10:52 PM
Here we go again.
The best load for your gun is the one you determine for yourself by trying out several options. The manufacturer's/distributor's/retailer's recommendations are worth exactly what they cost you.
Start with a mild, even low load, say 20 gr in a .44 Rem NMA. Use grease or wads or corn meal or whatever, at this point it's not important. Load each chamber the same way and use the same amount of compression. Shoot 3-5 rounds at 7-10 yards ALWAYS using the same POA. The point is to shoot groups, not hit the bull.
Reload using 22 or 23 gr, the same wads/grease/meal and use the same amount of compression, shoot 3-5 rounds at the same distance. Repeat with 25 gr, then 27-28 gr, 30 gr, 32-33 gr and 35 gr. It should become clear which load shoots the smallest groups. I doubt very much you'll have to go much above 30 gr as the group should open pretty quickly with those heavy loads.
Once you've found the best powder load you can then experiment the same way with wads/grease/corn meal options to see how those work for you in your gun.
Now if you want you can start adjusting the sights in any manner you wish to shoot accurate POA's at longer ranges.
This should result in the most accurate load for your gun. I think it will be about 25 gr, give or take a bit. But maybe not.
Or you can just fill up the chambers and blast away,
October 12, 2008, 11:00 PM
blastin away is pretty fun:evil:, i unknowingly until afterwards tend to alternate, i have kind of got a pattern going of at first just havin tons of fun just blastin away with pretty heavy loads, then i get tried of missin all the time lol so i decide to work up an accurate load, sometimes im patient enough to finde it others im not and just start blastin away, then i start running out of money cause of all the powder i gotta buy, so i go back lookin for accuracy and economy, then i just finish up with a few dozen heavy loads, then i shoot my flinter a few months and forget my load for the Remington and start all over again.... i think im gonna write my loads down next time lol, oh i forgot, in all this i switch up between rb an conical to make it even more confusing!:neener:
October 12, 2008, 11:22 PM
Write the load on the inside of the grips with a sharpie when you clean it. That way you always have it with the gun.
October 12, 2008, 11:28 PM
great idea. thanks!
October 13, 2008, 04:09 PM
I don't believe 777 is sugar based. The old Black Canyon and APP MIGHT be but I'm pretty sure 777 is not. The sugar based subs were/are very moisture grabbing.
October 13, 2008, 05:36 PM
I shot both my .44 1858 and my .36 1851 today using 777.
15 grains in the .36 and 15 grains in the .44 both print to the same POI at 7 yards. The 1858 will handle 30 grains of 777 without problems, but 15 does the job.
As to caps, even though folks sometimes bad mouth CCI, I find that CCI #10 caps work just fine with both revolvers.
Gaucho Gringo
October 13, 2008, 08:34 PM
I shoot Triple 7 in both my Remington 1858 & Colt 1851 both in .44. I use 25-28 gr in the Remington and 22-25 in the Colt. Both are steel framed Pietta's and both shoot good with Triple 7 with no problems and easy cleanup. I left the Remington loaded with Triple 7 for 9 months, no caps or grease on, with no rust . Although one one of these days I going to have to find some real black powder locally and try it.
October 13, 2008, 09:35 PM
I have even used triple seven in my Trapdoor.55 grs under a 385 conical is my most accurate load yet.
October 14, 2008, 02:14 AM
It does work pretty well in cartridges. I load it in a .45 colt every now and then. (Mainly when I don't have BP.)
October 14, 2008, 02:17 AM
Looking forward to trying it on my weekend, thanks, guys!
October 14, 2008, 04:10 AM
I broke the Pins off an 1860 Pietta Steel frame with 28gr of 777 ffg...it's less accurate in a Cap & Ball...pretty accurate in a cartridge load like .45Colt. Tried in in a ROA I just got that eats everything 2 out a 6 misfires in the first cylinder.
I bought 1 lb. hard to consistantly press a ball on, still have half a lb. left won't buy another.
Why don't people buy 5 or 10 lbs. of The Holy Black Powder in what ever brand or Granulation they like? It can be shipped to your Door... From Powder Inc. Goex, KIK, Swiss...I jus' don't understand.
http://www.powderinc.com/catalog/index.html (see page 2)
{I'd use Pyrodex P before I used 777 ffg again}:evil:I don't think I like it...
October 14, 2008, 10:02 AM
for what reason did you choose to use ffg in a pistol? fffg works much better as far as ignition and accuracy, an power too, but you still gotta watch the compression. in fffg i prefer 777 to pyro p, but for ten bucks less i can have the pyro p vs almost 27 dollars/lb 777:eek:. soon enough ill make a ten lb powder order from powder inc (because ANY sub absolutely sucks in a flintlock!), but first i gotta spend all my money on the kirst konversion with loading gate lol:evil:
October 14, 2008, 10:50 PM
It's already 15% hotter by volume to BP and was told fffg 777 is is hotter soooo if it broke my 1860 with ffg 777 why would I use fffg 777...I looked up the spec before using ... Hogdon doesn't really lean towards cap & ball with fffg 777 more geared to cartridge Revs.
Either way I found out enough with ffg 777 to know I don't wanna use it.
I'll stick with the Holy Black Powder thank you very much...nothin' like the real thing baby...:cool:
October 15, 2008, 01:40 AM
Hogdon doesn't really lean towards cap & ball with fffg 777 more geared to cartridge Revs.
That isn't true. Hodgdon says to use only FFg in cartridges. And all load data is listed as FFg.
From the web site:
Triple Seven In Cartridges: Use data specifically developed for Triple Seven FFG only.
Here is the load data from Hodgdon's website:
October 15, 2008, 02:56 PM
you broke your 1860? what broke?.... i was a gun shop tryin to order the kirst cylinder but was waiting on a few other people in line and i found these little reloading manuals which stated loads for bp cowboy cartridge rounds and smokeless cartridge cowboy loads(i also saw a 45 lc for the first time.... awesome!!!!) anyhow the manual stated around 6-10000 cup for smokeless 200g loads, later stating around 11-13500 for 777 loose and pyro pellets respectively, except the pellets were loaded under a 250 g bullet, and the 777 was ffg in the manual.... ummm.. i actually did not see any loads for 777 3f in any cap an balll except for the ruger OA, and that was only 25 or 30g load i cant remember... and at about 10-11000cup. conflicting facts in a way i think?:scrutiny:

October 15, 2008, 07:43 PM
I shoot fff Goex in my cap n Balls but i would like to try 777 especially in my walker. I have a friend that shoots Pyrodex RS in his 58. Likes it because it is bulkier. He almost fills the chamber and seats the ball. He shoots the gun well.
October 16, 2008, 07:40 AM
Sorry typo dwave S/B "if it broke my 1860 with ffg 777*, why would I use fffg 777,..."ffg 777 I looked up the spec before using ... Hogdon doesn't really lean towards cap & ball with ffg 777 more geared to cartridge Revs.
Either way I found out enough with ffg 777 to know I don't wanna use it."
Is that clearer???:rolleyes:
October 16, 2008, 07:53 AM
That was part of my point that kinda got lost...what broke on my 1860 pietta was the sharper recoil must have not knowingly knocked the wedge out before or with the third shot, sheared both pins clear off...I drilled them out and hand made custom new pins and still shoots great. 28 gr of ffg 777 by volume messed up my Rev...BP it the best and most accurate you can buy...Powder Inc . delivers....
I can't use lube pills with then and 777 is less accurate than fffg Goex BP in any of my Revs. It is not easily pessed or dompressed for depenanle repeatability...
October 16, 2008, 08:48 AM
I`ve loaded the 777 in 45 cartridges before ...it`s a bit stout for me ...maybe as a hunting load ..but for target shooting ...it`s a little heavy on the recoil .
Pyrodex P is stout too ..loaded in 45 colts ...I stick with Goex these days ..no worries ..enjoy shooting them much more , and don`t have to worrie about streching the frames on my revolvers ..The original black powder 45 loadings offer plenty of punch .
October 16, 2008, 09:34 AM
what weight bullets are you using with the 45 loads? what charge weight too, i pla on getting a conversion soon and was curious what are a good combo of bullet an charge weight? and what load did you try with the 777 in cartridges?
October 16, 2008, 10:28 AM
I've been useing 30 grains of 3f Triple Seven,under a 250 gr. bullet,and it's really too stout for my 7 1/2'' SAA ...stands the revolver staight up in your hand from the rather hairy recoil.A LOT like shooting full house .44 mag rounds.They work well in my carbine,though.I'll use Triple Seven in moderation [about 55-60 grains] in my trapdoor,but not with my 405 bullets,just my little 385 spire points.
October 16, 2008, 11:15 AM
Is that clearer???
I was pointing it out so nobody would use FFFg in carts, which Hodgdon doesn't support.
October 16, 2008, 11:31 AM
1858rem ....I use the heavyer 250 gr bullets because they are more accurate in my conversion cylinder Remingtons ...the lighter 200 gr bullets are just ok ....as far as accuracy ...when I use real black powder I always cast my own bullets they are 255 gr . 2 lube groves Lee Mold ..and I pan lube them and use 34 grs of Goex 3f under them ....they Crono at 877 fps out of my 8 inch barrel Remmies and 781 fps with my 5 1/2 inch barrl Remmies ....my Pyrodex P loads Crono at 940 fps 8 inch barrel and 837 fps 5 1/2 barrel .....I never weigh the charge , I use a volume type measure ...and get 1/8 inch compression seating the bullets with no over powder card . I`ve tried useing an over powder card , but saw little difference if any. A good neck crimp is important for less blow back on the cases . The Lee crimp die does a good job . The 777 loads I tried with the 250 moly lubed bullets ..I used only 30 grs of 2f 777 and a over powder card ..they fly at 957 fps out of the 8 inch barrel ...and feel like a Mag load ...wern`t much fun to shoot .
October 16, 2008, 02:20 PM
it sounds like when these cartridge loads are used it kicks more maybe? cause w/40g 777 fffg my 1858 only seems like a really hard 38 special kick, true though 38 special being the only cartridge pistol i have yet fired i dont have much else to compare to. 250g sounds good... i may cast some, but i saw a place that sells 500 packs of hard cast 200 or 225 or 250g bullets for just under 40 bucks! maybe ill get 200's and 250's(or all three lol:D) an try them with 777 ffg,fffg just to see how goes, but i mostly will use trail boss i think
October 16, 2008, 02:45 PM
I use Trail Boss as my smokeless loading 45 Lc ...it`s good target powder ..puney compaired to the black powder loads though ...but a lot quicker to reload , and easy to clean up after .

About a month ago I got a spiffy new Pavilion a1123c which came with a

already had to replace the batteries in the mouse twice. (Luckily it takes
only two AA batteries and nothing more exotic.) Does anyone else have the

haven't had to replace the batteries in the keyboard yet.

Hey guys,
I've applied for Ranmoor as my 1st choice on the accommodation leaflet, anyone doing the same as I'm just looking to see who I will meet on my first day!
I'm absolutely petrified but yet at the same time utterly excited about coming!
Anyone planning to stay in Ranmoor?
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
Shouldn't worry about it too much. Ranmoor is an awesome hall, with a quality bar. It's just luck of the draw for who you get on your corridor, but the place is big enough for that not to even really matter.
ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME I've applied for Ranmoor.
Hahaha sorry got a bit over-excited there. Sent off my AS12 form on Friday so hoping to find out sometime this week or next what accommodation I'm in...
Anyone staying at ranmoor have a look at this thread.
Hey ppl! Ive also applied 2 stay at Ranmoor when I sent my form off ages ago!
Any1 out there play pro evo? I cant wait for a few games against fellow students from Ranmoor!
wow the events look mental! although surely they all coincide with freshers events?
or are these after the freshers ones?
i think i might be in ranmoor - its my second choice, but I phoned accomadation and they sed that my application to victoria hall was unsusccessful! Im thinking ranmoor will be much more mental now ive seen the events list!
The freshers events are mainly through the day (eg. Sports Fair) and we have tried to allow time for people to do both. All of the events listed are evening events. It is intended for any daytime events not to clash with anything compulsory.
In intro week the union basically run a normal week of nights except for the monday (Sure FM Party) and friday(last year it was called Freshers mania). Tickets for all these events will probably be bought by second and third years returning before the freshers arrive going on their normal nights out.
You wont miss anything much cos you get a chance to go to all the union events later in the term. Plus all the freshers week events give you a chance to meet everyone in halls. Once courses start you will meet loads of other people as well. There are over 800 people in Ranmoor so there are plenty of people to meet there alone in the first week.
yep i've got my place in ranmoor! the i signed the contract thingy yesterday..it seems real now! cant wait to get there, and the freshers week at ranmoor looks great :-)
I'm in Ranmoor too. Checked the contract site and my contract is there and waiting. However, I recieved no e-mail OR letter (no e-mail because my address was wrong!).

Garden number 55 for Katies Krops is being built at Joseph R. Pye Elementary School on Wednesday, Nov. 28. Summerville Tractor Supply store is donating the equipment being used to start the garden. Now with 54 gardens in 21 states, Katies Krops is helping feed less fortunate individuals one vegetable garden at a time.
Students at Joseph R. Pye Elementary School will help start the garden, but it will be maintained by Stephanie Bairds students. Baird, who is a resource teacher within the Special Education Department at the school, informed Stacy and Katie about the need, and there was no hesitation to provide assistance.
This gives our children with exceptionalities a discovery learning opportunity, said Baird. Its a way to encourage responsibility and introduce ideas for possible career paths. Katie has been such an incredible role model to the children. Its wonderful to have her involved.
We recently hosted our largest dinner to date at Pye Elementary, said Katie Stagliano. It was a three-course meal that fed more than 425 people. It was a great way to kick off the relationship and announce our plans for the schools garden. Many of these children rely on subsidized meals during the school year, and the garden will provide healthy meals to the schools families throughout the year. I could not be more proud of our volunteers and their dedication to feeding families in need.
Bless everyone at Tractor Supply for following along and helping us continue our dream, said Katies mother, Stacy Stagliano. Becoming a sponsor of Katies Krops helps us remain a sustainable solution to hunger in the local community. A lot of times, organizations will collect certain food items, and once theyre gone, theyre gone. We need to make sure we have the funding to keep kids gardens growing because they are a consistent food resource.
Katies Krops also hosts monthly dinners at the Summerville Baptist Church for families in the community. The next meal will be Thursday, Nov. 29. In addition to the monthly meals, Katie now provides direct donations to families and provides vegetables to the Tri-county Family Ministries and Murray United Methodist Church Food Bank.

In 1866, despite his youth, Monet's painting of Camille (Woman in Green Dress) was accepted and acclaimed at the annual Paris Salon, the conservative arbiter of subject matter and style in painting.2 In the ensuing 12 years, Camille, either alone or with her son, was the primary model for his paintings.

UNEP's Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum Adopts Nusa Dua Declaration
1 March 2010: Environment Ministers at the 11th Special Session of the Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), which was held from 24-26 February 2010, in Bali, Indonesia, adopted the Nusa Dua Declaration, in which they underscore the vital importance of biodiversity, the urgent need to combat climate change and the advantages gained from advancing towards a 'green economy.'
The meeting brought together over 1000 participants, representing more than 100 countries, as well as intergovernmental organizations, UN agencies, and major groups and other stakeholders, who addressed emerging policy issues under the theme of "environment in the multilateral system."
In the Nusa Dua Declaration (UNEP/GCSS.XI/L.6), the Ministers and Heads of Delegation, inter alia: recognize the scientific view, as documented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, that deep cuts in global emissions are required to hold the increase in global temperature below 2°C; welcome the decision of the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP 15) and the fifth session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP/MOP 5) to extend the mandates of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action and the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments under the Kyoto Protocol to continue their work; take note of the Copenhagen Accord; and reaffirm their commitment to the UNFCCC process to work constructively towards a comprehensive agreed outcome within this process at COP 16 by the end of 2010. The Declaration will be transmitted to the UN General Assembly later this year. [UNEP Press Release] [Meeting Website] [IISD Summary of the Meeting]

Geographic Deregulation and Competition in the U.S. Banking Industry
H. Semih Yildirim
York University - Atkinson School of Administrative Studies
Sunil Mohanty
University of St. Thomas - Opus College of Business
Financial Markets, Institutions & Instruments, Vol. 19, Issue 2, pp. 63-94, May 2010
We examine the effects of geographic deregulation on state-level competition in U.S. banking markets over the period 1976-2005. The empirical results confirm that the U.S. banks in general operated under monopolistic competition during the period examined. After partitioning the sample based on bank size we find that the market competition for large banks in Delaware, Oregon, and Rhode Island can be characterized as monopolistic while small banks in Arizona and Massachusetts seem to have operated under the conditions of perfect competition. The removal of geographic restrictions appears to have very limited and non-uniform effect on state-level competitive conduct. There is some evidence that the U.S. banking industry might have actually experienced a less competitive behavior in recent years due to increased market power of larger banks.

Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday signed legislation to replace Public Act 4, an emergency manager law that was overturned by a public vote in November.
Snyder says the new law emergency manager (EM) law, Public Act 436 of 2012, is a improvement on the voter-rejected version.
The new EM legislation, much like it's predecessor, allows the state to intervene in cities and school districts facing financial troubles.
The difference is that leaders in targeted municipalities now have a choice as to how the state gets involved.
Under the new EM law, locally elected officials in cash poor cities and school districts have four options. They can chose between a consent agreement with the state, chapter 9 bankruptcy, mediation, or an emergency manager.
"This legislation demonstrates that we clearly heard, recognized and respected the will of the voters," Snyder said Thursday in a statement. "It builds in local control and options while also ensuring the tools to protect communities and school districts' residents, students and taxpayers."
Because Michigan voters repealed the old EM law by rejecting Proposal 1 on the November ballot, the new law includes an appropriation making it immune to referendum, or public vote.
The new law also allows emergency managers, should a city opt for one, to break union contracts if labor negotiations fall through. The power to break union contracts is a power usually used in municipal bankruptcy proceedings.
Under current Michigan law, a city must first go under state-appointed financial control before it is eligible for bankruptcy
The new law gives local officials the option to reject an appointed EFM's proposal on how to fix finances, but they must come up with a viable alternative. Ultimately, a state panel would have the power to decide which plan to use and an emergency manager would implement it.
One key difference between PA 4 and the new PA 436 is that local leaders now have the power to remove a state-appointed emergency manager after one year by a 2/3-majority vote.
Another significant change is that the new EM law requires the state to pay emergency manager salaries instead of requiring financially struggling municipalities and school districts to cover the costs.
Still, critics of emergency manager legislation pledge to fight the new EM law.
Greg Bowens, a spokesman for the Stand Up For Democracy coalition whose efforts led to repeal PA 4, said the new legislation is not much different.
"We think that the governor's view of what the will of the voters is is quite different from what the actual voters did,"
Bowens told MLive.com, calling the new law "The worst Christmas present that municipalities could have."
The City of Detroit may be added to a list of cities facing state intervention. This month, Gov. Snyder commissioned a state review of the city's finances that could result in the appointment of an EM, or other state-mandated options.

Ironically, both men are locked in a battle for the season point crown, which will come to an end in under two weeks. Layton is going for a second track title while Wagner is going for this third.
The 410 main went non-stop with Layton turning in a stout, dominating performance to pick up the $3,000 payday, which was the eighth of his overall career at the track.
With Layton checking out on the field, an outstanding six-car race for second attracted all the attention during the last 10 laps of the event.
Wagner worked hard to hold on to the second spot for the duration with seventh starter Lance Dewease taking over third with five laps to go from Mike Erdley.
During the final two and one-half miles of racing, the second through seventh place cars all raced within a half straightaway of one another in a pack that included Wagner, Dewease, Greg Hodnett, Erdley, Blane Heimbach and Rick Lafferty.
In the end with Layton out in front and posting a non-stop time of 8:22.541, he crossed the line 5.607 seconds ahead of Wagner for the victory.
Dewease settled for third followed by Erdley and ninth-starter Hodnett.
Sixth through 10th went to Lafferty, 11th starter Heimbach, Keith Kauffman, Doug Esh and Frank Cozze.
Heats for the 23-car field went to Lafferty, Wagner and Kauffman.
Chad Trout and Bryn Gohn shared the front row for the start of the 25-lap URC sprint feature with Gohn taking the lead at the start over Trout.
Wilson started from the outside of the third row in his quest for the win and drove into fourth on the first lap and moved into third with two away.
With four laps complete, Wilson had disposed of Trout for second and was biting into Gohn's substantial lead when the races first caution flag unfurled with seven laps completed.
Gohn showed strength running the top groove when action resumed but succumbed to Wilson's pressure on the ninth tour just before the red lights came on four contact with the inside rail by Kyle Reinhardt.
Wilson was stretching out his lead when the yellow flag appeared with 10 laps to go, setting up a double-file restart.
Only one more lap was scored before another red flag waved, this time for a three-car tangle in the second turn.
A final yellow flag with five laps to go saw Trout muscle by Gohn for second but fall short of dialing in Wilson.
It was Wilson's first ever win with URC and at Port Royal Speedway, worth $2,000.
Trout crossed the line second, 2.093 second behind, followed by Gohn, Josh Weller and Robbie Stillwaggon.
Sixth through 10th went to Mark Bitner, Devin Darling, Kramer Williamson, Davie Franek and Larry Kelleher.
Heats for the 31-car field went to Trout, Gohn and Joey Biasi with Nate Snyder scoring the consolation.
Bear held sway for the entire 20-lap distance of the 305 sprint main after drawing the pole for the race. It was his fourth career win in the division at the track.
Logan Wagner started outside the fourth row for the event and worked his way forward to move into second with five laps left, taking the spot from Mark Watkins.
However he was well behind leader Bear at the finish.
Ninth starter Watkins finished third followed by Kody Lehman and Nathan Gramley.
Sixth through 10th went to Alex Schanz, Tom Worrick, Tim Dietz, Mike Wagner II., and Steve Kennawell.
Heats for the 26-car field went to Watkins, Eric Parker and Kennawell.

Epic Games have announced that they will be releasing a third title update which is aiming at fixing the multiplayer yet again.
"- A new levelling system which will abolish the TrueSkill rank completely. Info on the new system's 100 levels can be found at http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=658236
- Players can only be downed by smoke grenades for a maximum of 2 seconds
- The "Two-Piecing" outbreak with the shotgun is expect to be remedied by giving players a higher chance of dodging the shot after being meleed
- If the host quits, only the host will lose exp, not everyone
- Five new achievements will be added to the list for the DLC that is expected to arrive shortly after the update
- "Gameplays tweaks will also be made" and as well new glitches that have arisen will be taken care of"
Sources: [1] and [2]
All looks pretty good to me, like the idea of the new ranking system.

Medium Round Trampoline
Our 3.0m round trampoline is designed for medium-sized yards and children of all ages.
Our medium round trampoline is the best of both worlds - not too big and not too small. A soft bounce designed for medium-sized yards and children of all ages.
The jumping surface of our 3.0m round trampoline is equivalent to that of a 3.5m round trampoline with springs. The medium round trampoline allows you to maximize your jumping surface while saving valuable backyard space.
Product Specifications
Springfree is completely springless. We use flexible composite rods that are positioned below the jumping surface and out of harm's way. Spring-based trampolines have coil metal springs that may pinch or injure a jumper.
The SoftEdge mat is 30 times more shock absorbent than foam pads. The pads on a spring-based trampoline do not protect from injury, lose much of their shock absorbency after the first impact and have the shortest lifespan of any part of the trampoline.
The frame on a Springfree is positioned well beneath the jumping surface – where you can't land on it. The frame on a spring-based trampoline is level with the mat and if fallen on, can result in serious injuries such as fractures, lacerations and head injuries.
Our unique design features a fully flexible enclosure that cushions jumpers and prevents falls. Spring-based trampolines enclosures use steel poles to support a rigid net. A jumper may collide with the steel pole, causing injury. Or slide down the net and land on the frame and springs.
Our soft and flexible basketball hoop. Great for kids (and adults) who want to practice their slam dunk!
Allows for easier entry onto the Springfree Trampoline without introducing a hard surface near the jumping area. Comes with a lock to restrict unsupervised jumping.
The Springfree Trampoline Ground Anchor helps to safely and securely anchor your trampoline to the ground.
One adult can shift the trampoline when yard work needs to be done. Wheels slip easily under the legs to make moving your Springfree Trampoline a quick and easy task.
Keeps your trampoline in great condition.
The FlexrHoop Ball is made of a soft yellow neoprene material, great for slam dunks on the trampoline!

FWSI was organized in 1996 to implement a strategic plan for revitalizing the area commonly known at that time as the Medical District. At that time, conditions in the area had deteriorated as a result of decades of disinvestment, and local leaders united to turn things around. As with almost all American cities, the fifty years following World War II saw the vast majority of investment go to newly developed areas at the edge of the city. By the early 1990s, Fort Worth's central city was in disrepair, and many sections of the Near Southside were dominated by dilapidated buildings, struggling businesses, and few remaining residents.
The 1995 Strategic Plan was prepared by Sasaki Associates and was sponsored by a coalition of public and private stakeholders, including the City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, and the district's major hospitals. To implement the strategic plan, FWSI pursues the following mission and goals.
Mission: Promote the redevelopment of Fort Worth's Near Southside as a vibrant, urban, mixed-use neighborhood.
Goals: Through all of our initiatives, FWSI pursues five primary goals:
1. Increase public awareness of the Near Southside, so as to…
- Attract new residents and new residential development
- Support the growth of the district's existing businesses and institutions
- Attract new businesses to the Near Southside
2. Assist all private and public development projects that advance the district's mixed-use, urban vision.
3. Sponsor or support special events and networking events that attract visitors to the area and strengthen community ties among Near Southside businesses and residents.
4. Provide information and resources that assist all types of Near Southside stakeholders.
5. Partner with the City and other community organizations to advance educational initiatives, public policies, and community programs that foster a revitalized and safe central city.
