How do you get used to such a small bed?
They took the generator out and hooked it up to their propane and it ran fine, the regulator had to be replaced, and it caused a problem with the stove. They had to empty the tanks and clean out all the gunk that was in there, reinstall the gen, took else where to refill. They charge $120 an hour, why? because apparently they can. Your signature says this is a 2015? How the heck could it have accumulated any gunk anywhere?? You got screwed... but then you knew that. I'd say time to find a new RV service place. Live and learn... I would also recommend that you look at something with twin beds if you find that this doesn't work for you this winter. The Winnebago Travato on the Promaster has a twin floor plan.

Be sure to go to the Roadtrek website and put your name in for the $1000 rebate on any new vehicle. You send them a copy of your sale receipt and they mail you a check... I too downsized from a Class C to a 170. Be ready to have NO storage. LOL

Real age
To have a 2 year difference is very common with 2008/2010 RVs. The usual difference is only one year. But, if you remember 2008, there were big economic problems in the country and many manufacturers ended up with a supply of 2008 vans. (and many went bankrupt) Winnebago in particular apparently had hundreds of them. I would bet that all their rigs for 2009 and 2010 were built on 2008 platforms. Just for your information, the Navion is not a Class B, it is a Class C that was built on a cutaway Sprinter. (Their Class B is called the Era) But that doesn't matter in relation to your question, as this happened with both Class B and Class C units manufactured in these years.

If you are on Facebook, you might want to send a request to join the Roadtrek Owners Group. There are Zion and SRT owners there... not sure about any Simplicity owners, but it is basically just a Zion with fewer bells and whistles.

Any Class B Winnebago owners Here?
I agree with the exception of this: A so called B+ is just a marketing term started by LTV for a small Class C The B+ term had appeared before LTV started building the Serenity and Libero, and they properly called both of them a Class C. Then they were purchased by EEE, who had been a manufacturer of Class A and traditional Class C rigs. They changed the advertising of the Serenity, Libero, and new Unity rigs to Class B. Neither company ever used the B+ term for any of their rigs. (can't speak about their dealers... who tend to do as they please) I nagged them about it for the 4 years that I owned my Libero, and suddenly not long after I traded it in, their website suddenly started referring to them properly as Class C. So not sure who invented the term B+, but it wasn't LTV.

This isn't a trailer, it is a Class B. I haven't noticed anyone mention this issue on the other Class B discussion boards. Most owners seem to love the set-up.

These folks have some pretty neat stuff... Canadian made! Leisure travel vans They build beautiful RVs... but they no longer build any Class Bs. They only build small Class Cs. A shame as they put out one of the very top units in the business.

Slide accident - alignment issues.
It was Leisure Travel that put the slide on the Sprinter. They stopped because they stopped making B's... and now only make small C's. Winnebago copied and continue to produce them on one of the Era models.

Bubble Top Van vs Roadtrek Style Gas Mileage
I agree about the handling. I avoided highways... and a passing 18 wheeler was a lesson in white knuckle driving. I would never own another one... in spite of the wonderful inside height and extra storage.

Bubble Top Van vs Roadtrek Style Gas Mileage
I had a 2004 GWV Classic Supreme and over three years, it averaged 14-15, if I drove at highway speed limits. If I went 55 mph, I could get better. This was the small Ford. With my current 2015 Chevy RT, I have averaged 17 at highway speed limits. Different era vans... and different manufacturers, but comparable results I think.

Thinking of downsizing
I seem to recall that the Zion was built for those that didn't want all the bells and whistles common on 190s? In any event it is now on the new RAM chassis... Not true. It has all the same bells and whistles as all the Roadtreks. It has two lengths... plus a new more stripped down, cheaper version. What it gives you over the Chevy based RTs is space. With the straight up sides it is much roomier. It is front wheel drive and handles very well. It gets better mileage than the Ford or Chevy... and it is gas, unlike the diesel Sprinter. I have had two B's and one C. Personally, if I was doing a lot of traveling and living in the rig for long stretches in the same place, I would go with a C. There is a large selection of lengths and floor plans. If I was the type to cover lots of area... and not spend much time in the rig, a B is great. I'd try to hit a big RV show and check out different sizes to see what will fit best with your lifestyle.

Roadtrek Acquired by European Manufacturer
Not sure what you mean here Robert... in Europe, the Hymer groups has divisions that make Class A's, B's and C's... and small travel trailers. Erwin Hymer Group, has Burstner, Detleetfhs, Carado etc, they are like Fleetwood in the US, but pop out 35,000 Motorhomes, from their various brands. I would say that they are more like Winnebago... with the quality of Leisure Travel. :C

I disagree. Hymer is a large and very experienced RV company in Europe with deep pockets. They build a quality rig more similar to our Leisure Travel, whereas Roadtrek is now more similar to a Winnebago than LTV as far as QC. I expect Hymer to demand that RT come up to their standards, not that they lower theirs to RT. As to prices... we'll have to wait and see. The Hymer unit being marketed in current shows is more pricey than the same unit in Europe.

Roadtrek Acquired by European Manufacturer
Hymer is a big well-respected company that has purchased a number of European brands too. Those brands continue to be built under their original names in Europe. Hymer isn't stupid. Roadtrek is a known brand in North America. The Hymer name was added to the side of the Roadtrek factory... it did not replace the Roadtrek name. Those of us who have purchased Roadtreks in the last few years are hoping that being owned by a company with the reputation of a high quality builder will bring back the quality control that RT used to be known for... but has slipped quite badly while owned by an "investment company" which was more concerned about pushing out as many rigs as possible in the shortest period... letting the dealers and purchasers deal with all the problems. Many of us feel that this is very good news for Roadtrek and Class B's.

Yes, an agreement has been signed between Hymer and Roadtrek, but they will be produced at the RT factory, which is in Canada. Hymer has the reputation of building high quality RVs in Europe. I'm hoping that they bring over more of their floor plans.

RT 170 as a daily driver?
This is exactly what I did and there are quite a few of us doing this. I decided that with a 170, I could get rid of my other car that just sat for about 7 months of the year. So, I traded my small C and my Toyota Sienna in on a brand new 170. I get about 12 mpg in town and 17/18 on the highway at the speed limit. The Chevy is a comfortable drive. It fits in a standard parking spot, but of course, you are height restricted. I tend to still park far from the doors to save the sides from the usual dings. One bit of warning, it is very difficult to get insurance if you do not have a car. The company that had insured me for years... for about $1200 a year for the car and RV suddenly jumped the premium to about $2400 for one RV. It took about two weeks of phone calls and I found that companies like Safeco or Progressive or AAA etc will NOT even insure a driver with only an RV. I finally went to FMCA figuring that they had experience with this. The second catch was that there are a number of options for full-timers... but I wasn't eligible for those because I, like you, have two homes. And having a stick house makes you ineligible. The only option they could offer me was National General and raising it to the highest liability rate is about $1100. (but another person on Roadtrek Owners page on Facebook said that they refused her) Another person said that she got insurance with Farmer's Insurance. So don't expect to save much money on insurance. Another option which will give you more living space is to consider the new Roadtrek Zion SRT which is about a foot longer than the 170 on the Promaster chassis. But if you are thinking used, the 170 or even the 190 might work for you.

Healing Arizona
City of Mesa Restores Black Physician's House
By Janice Arenofsky | Online Only | Feb. 1, 2010
It took Arizona until 1992 to approve a holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr., and it took Mesa—the third-largest city in the state—even longer. It wasn't until Mesa's African American residents (fewer than five percent of the population) carried out protest marches for five years that Mesa established a paid city holiday in 1996.
Mesa's mayor and city council took another step toward bridging the racial divide in 2005, with the acquisition of the historic bungalow that belonged to Dr. Lucius Alston, Mesa's first African-American physician. In 2007, crews began restoring the 960-square-foot stucco residence, which will become the headquarters for Mesa's Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee and the Mesa Association of Hispanic Citizens.
"Except for obvious additions, the house has not changed much over the years," says Ron Peters, the local architect who helped coordinate the restoration. "It's simple and eclectic with Craftsman-style touches, such as the arched front entrance. But there's not a lot of detail."
Private donations ($12,000), a Community Development Block grant ($80,000), and funds from the Arizona State Parks Historic Preservation department ($100,000), paid for the restoration. When work concludes next month, the house will be co-owned by the city, the Mesa Association of Hispanic Citizens, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Committee—an appropriate nod to the Native American, Hispanic, and Black patients Alston treated. Alston also saw white patients, who appeared at his back door late at night in an effort to hide their patronage of an African American doctor. "It was a mostly black neighborhood then," says Everette R. Woods, treasurer of the city's Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Committee.
By the time renovation work began, the house (built in 1922 by George Strelen but enlarged by Alston), had suffered considerable damage and deterioration. In fact, the first time Randy Ringleb, president of Tempe-based Caymus Corporation construction company, eyeballed the house, he thought there was "little to salvage." Although Ringleb's crew had to replace the rotted wood-shingle roof with shakes and install new decking, the overarching goal was to preserve as much of the original structure as possible. Some of the original kitchen cabinetry was retained, along with a small built-in hutch, the oak flooring upstairs, a built-in ironing board, small bathroom sink and commode, and long kitchen sink, which "is cast-iron and took four men to carry," says Ringleb says. Other period pieces that were preserved the diamond-shaped decorative work on the upper walls of Alston's "office" and several glass light fixtures.
As a way to involve the Washington Park neighborhood, Ringleb employed several residents. Workers brought electrical, plumbing, and heating-cooling systems up to code, and the house was stabilized with new foundations. There's now a concrete parking area as well as walks and ramps leading up to the house.
According to Ringleb, the project is nearly complete, save for 29 new casement windows. ("It was difficult to find similarly-scored windows that were also energy-efficient," he notes.) His crew plans to lay ceramic tile flooring in the bathrooms, linoleum in the kitchen, and paint the exterior white. Then volunteers will finish the landscaping.
Eyes On the Prize
The Arizona Preservation Foundation placed the Alston House on its watchlist of historic properties in 2007. Since then, the group has has "kept in contact with Mesa historic preservation advocates to encourage them to advance the project," according to the foundation's Jim McPherson.
Fruit trees will line the perimeter of the property, says Mesa City Project Manager and landscape architect Steve Settler. "Neighbors will be encouraged to pick the fruit," he says. According to Settler, the lower-income neighborhood rallied around the restoration of the Alston House with "passion and humility" after recognizing the project would ultimately benefit them. "It's really due to Ron [Peters'] altruistic vision," Settler says.
Counting services such as those donated by Peters, the preservation architect who executed detailed sketches of the house, more than $300,000 went into the project, according to Ringleb, "It was a labor of love," says Peters, "and a neat piece of Mesa history for that community."
Recognition of Lucius Alston's contribution to Mesa citizens means a lot to those people who knew the physician, a World War I veteran originally from West Virginia. "I'm ecstatic that the Preservation Committee and the neighborhood noticed what he did," says Everette Woods, "especially since he was not a stand-out; just a man carrying out his life's work."

Great article on a wonderful piece of restoration (thanks, Ron!). But I do want to point out that it was not just Mesa's African American community who marched for the King holiday, lo these many years ago. It was truly a diverse crowd of supporters who filled the streets and the halls of the city to demand recognition of a great American civil rights leader.

text: Home > Patients & Families > Direct to You Direct to You™ Laboratory tests that you order yourself. No prescription or appointment is necessary. How Direct to You™ self-ordered lab testing works With some of the most commonly ordered medical tests available to you, you can monitor your own health, on your own schedule. Direct to You™ offers laboratory tests that you order yourself, at your convenience. No appointment or prescription from a physician is necessary, as long as you are 18 years of age or older. To have a test done, simply come to White Plains Hospital's Admitting Department, Monday and Friday, 7 AM to 6 PM; Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 7 AM to 7 PM, or Saturday from 8 AM to 1 PM. Ask for a Direct to You™ order form. Choose the tests from the available list and show photo ID, or two other types of identification. Complete the form and then pay for the tests with cash, check or credit card. A laboratory professional will draw a small blood sample or provide you with a specimen container and collection instructions. In most cases, you can get your test results in just a few hours. Your results can be picked up between 7 AM and 6 PM, Monday and Friday; 7AM and 7 PM, Tuesday, Wednesay, Thursday or on Saturday from 8 AM until 1 PM. You can also chose to have them mailed directly to your home. Test Menu * Glucose (Blood Sugar) - $20.00 The glucose test tells what the blood glucose level was at the time your blood was drawn. The fasting glucose level, collected after an 8 - 10 hour fast, is used to diagnose diabetes and a pre-diabetes condition. Normal fasting glucose levels range from 74 to 106 mg/dl. Urine Analysis (Urinary tract infection) - $15.00 This test is used to indicate an infection in the urinary tract. Pregnancy (urine) - $25.00 This is a test that detects the presence of human Gonadatropic Hormone (hCG) in the urine. The urine pregnancy test is not as sensitive a test for pregnancy as the pregnancy blood test described next. Pregnancy (blood) - $25.00 This test measures the amount of human Gonadatropic Hormone (hCG.) If the test is positive, it indicates pregnancy. It is a more sensitive indicator than the urine test described above. Male Infertility (sperm count) - $35.00 A sperm count helps to assess a man's fertility. Sperm concentration is reported in millions of sperm per ml. Counts greater than, or equal to, 20 million per ml. are considered normal. Semen specimens are accepted from Mon. - Fri. from 8 AM to 2 PM. Blood Type - $15.00 This test determines your blood type. Your blood type is identified as one of four common blood groups: A, B, AB, or O. Testing also identifies the Rh factor which is reported as Rh negative, or Rh positive. Hepatitis C (HCV) - $45.00 This test is useful in detecting past or current hepatitis C infections. * Cholesterol Screening (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL) - $20.00 This test determines cholesterol levels. A cholesterol level below 200 mg/dl is considered desirable and reflects a low risk of heart disease. A test result between 200 to 240 is considered borderline high, and it reflects a moderate risk of heart disease. A cholesterol level above 240 is considered an indicator of high risk of heart disease. Triglyceride testing is also used to assess the risk of developing heart disease. For diabetics, triglycerides increase significantly when blood sugar is out of normal range. A normal level for fasting triglycerides is less than 150. When triglycerides are very high, over 1000 mg/dl, for example there is a risk of developing pancreatitis. HDL if often referred to as "good cholesterol." A high HDL level is better than a low HDL level. If HDL is 20% of the total cholesterol level, the risk of heart disease is average. If it more than 20%, the risk of heart disease is less than average. A desirable level of HDL is greater than 60 ml/dl and is associated with a less than average risk of heart disease. Urine Drug Screen - $50.00 This test screens for the presence of drugs of abuse such as cocaine, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, barbiturates, PCP and benzodiazepines. Colon Cancer Screen (Hemoccult) - $20.00 This test is used as a screening for the detection of colon cancer. A positive test result may indicate blood in the stool. Dietary restrictions are recommended prior to testing. Call 681-1232 for information. * Fasting is recommended for Glucose and Cholesterol Screening. Lab tests provide useful information, but they are not a substitute for a full medical exam. Results within the reference (normal) range do not ensure good health.

The issue isn't winter—it's that we all have a home.
Racial inequality in education may be keeping America back.
Unemployment is high these days, especially among unskilled workers, and it looks as if our nation's schools are not preparing students for the global economy.
According to a study from the Program on Education Policy and Governance at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, U.S. students lag behind many other countries in math and reading skills. African-American and Latino students, in particular, are falling way behind.
America's 2011 high school graduating class gets a bad report card, and it reflects poorly on everyone. Only 32 percent were proficient in math and 31 percent in reading. A mere 11 percent of black students were proficient in math, as opposed to 50 percent of Asians, 42 percent of whites, 16 percent of Native-Americans and 15 percent of Latino students.
And in reading, only 18 percent of Native-American students, 13 percent of black students and 4 percent of Latino students were proficient, compared to 40 percent of white students and 41 percent of Asian students.
Compared to the rest of the world, the United States ranks 32nd in math. Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Japan and Korea have a majority or near majority of students performing at the proficient level, unlike in the United States.
Meanwhile in reading, the United States ranks 17th, with 10 countries significantly ahead. In Korea, 47 percent of the students are proficient in reading, with other high-ranking nations including Finland (46 percent), Singapore and New Zealand (42 percent), Japan and Canada (41 percent), Australia (38 percent) and Belgium (37 percent).
The bottom line is that the United States could have both smarter students and a higher GDP growth if it increased its math proficiency levels to that of Canadian and Korean students. In the long term, this could translate into an additional $1 trillion in the economy each year, the study said.
And although white students in the United States are also underperforming when compared to a number of other advanced nations, America will have to seriously grapple with an educational system that produces a large achievement gap based on race and ethnicity, and a pipeline to prison for youth of color.
This is not the blatant racism of hate crimes and racial epithets, but rather a silent, systemic, institutional racism that allows inferior schools to fester in poor, black and brown urban areas.
We need more investments in schools, at a time when tea party governors, state legislators and members of Congress seek to slash billions of dollars in funds to education.
Americans will rise and fall together based on whether all of our children are learning. Right now, they are not. And we can't tolerate this any longer.

By Wendell Berry
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.
Wendell Berry is a poet, farmer, and environmentalist in Kentucky. This poem, first published in 1973, is reprinted by permission of the author and appears in his "New Collected Poems" (Counterpoint).

The longer this game went, the more patient Ridgefield seemed, the more the Tigers seemed to have the ball, the more they created scoring chances. This was probably closer than the 13-5 final — Ridgefield delayed, New Canaan pressured, Ridgefield took advantage; New Canaan took more chances offensively — but it was certainly a solid bounce-back for Ridgefield from Tuesday's disappointment.Ground balls and faceoffs, then, seem to matter just a little. Roy Colsey and Cal Dearth were very complimentary of Will Bonaparte's work on draws. And the Tigers seemed to win possession almost every time they could. "Every time there was a loose ball, (on Tuesday, Darien) got it," Colsey said. "Today, it was kind of the law of averages."
And that would help anyone… But it sure helps Ridgefield. "We've got a relatively high-powered offense," Colsey said. "We've got the ability to score in bunches. When we get the ball, make good defensive stops, get possession, we have a lot of guys who can put the ball in the net."
New Canaan had good moments but possession cost them in big spots. "We're learning how to play together as a team," coach Chip Buzzeo said. "We've had a great season. I'm still very optimistic, but anybody can win a lacrosse game, especially when the other team is more aggressive, more tenacious on ground balls.
Stopped off at Barlow on the way (as much as it was "on the way." Neighboring towns, and the ride took over half an hour). Caught the first three quarters of Barlow's 15-7 win. Brookfield cut the Falcons' lead to 7-5 in the third quarter — looked pretty creative offensively when it could get set up — but Barlow ran off four in a row before I hit the backroads. I saw Barlow last week against Stratford (somewhat randomly), and the Falcons' passing early Thursday didn't look much like it did last Thursday, which could be the opponent (Brookfield's 10-3) or could be the weather (we in the bleachers suffered a pretty steady rain for the first 18 minutes or so, until the sun was in our eyes). But it seemed to be in good shape throughout. Armchair, partial observations from under an umbrella.
And sorry for the lateness. Had to stop to write the gamer, got tied up with something else… and I'm always amazed at how hard it seems to get in and out of Ridgefield. (Especially when you make a wrong turn. Fun in the dark.)

Are there any plans to sell a PDF of just these maps?
Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Campaign Setting, Modules Subscriber
A PDF of these maps would be highly unlikely given the recent policies of WotC. They withdrew PDFs from most (all?) retailers. Paizo may sell the maps, and even commissioned them for Dragon, but WotC ultimately holds the rights to all things FR.
Also, WotC is currently supporting the new version of the Realms set after the Spellplague, which is a century and several major events removed from the setting depicted in these maps. If anything they would sell the current setting map before the previous edition one.
|Liz Courts Contributor
Many thanks for the prompt response, I'll see what I can mine from WotC.

Environmental Studies in the Boreal Forest Zone: IPY Institute
The Summer IPY Institute provided a unique opportunity for participants to learn about the climate and environment of Northern Eurasia from leading scientists and educators in a wide spectrum of polar and Earth-system science disciplines including meteorology, biology, chemistry, and Earth-system modeling.
Additionally, the attendees observed and participated in research activities under the guidance of experienced scientists. The institute was arranged as part of the education outreach activities of the International Arctic Research Center, the International Polar Year (IPY) effort at the University of Alaska, and the Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative. It was held in Russia, approximately 350 km west of Moscow, in the village of Fedorovskoe, where the Central Biosphere Forest Reserve is located. The summer institute was organized by the International Arctic Research Center (IARC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, in collaboration with the A.N. Severtsov Institute for Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia, and the Central Biosphere Forest Reserve in Fedorovskoe. During a two-week interval, the institute participants attended 40 lectures, went on several field trips, and participated in three brainstorming roundtable workshop sessions devoted to special issues and major unresolved problems of boreal forest zone research.
Thirty professors and experts in different areas of climate and biosphere research from Russia, the United States, Germany, Finland, and Japan shared their expertise in lectures and in discussions with the institute participants. Among the participants were 31 graduate students/early career scientists from six countries (China, Russia, Estonia, Finland, United Kingdom, and the United States) and eight K-12 teachers from Russia. The two groups joined together for several workshop sessions and for the fieldwork components of the institute. The fieldwork was focused on land-atmosphere interactions and wetland studies in the boreal forest zone. Several field trips in and outside the Forest Reserve were arranged to highlight various aspects of wetland studies and management in the taiga environment.
As part of the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) IPY "Seasons and Biomes" project led by Elena Sparrow, the K-12 teachers were instructed in and practiced both existing and new GLOBE protocols created specifically for the "Seasons and Biomes" project to study interannual variability of seasons in their own biomes. These teachers will in turn engage their students in Earth system science research as a way of teaching and learning science, as well as involving them in the IPY.
Students and some instructors had one full day (Sunday, July 15th) for sightseeing in Moscow. Many of the students, including the Russians, had never been in this vibrant and swiftly growing city. The group went to the Kremlin and various other places. After spending half a day with the hosts at A.N. Severtsov Institute for Ecology and Evolution, the participants were taken on the long bus ride to the reserve. Life at the village of Fedorovskoe was probably a new experience for many of these students. They were able to see a Russian private rural life in a small place, with no fancy shops or supermarkets. The locals were very friendly and tried to help in any possible way. Healthy food and a lot of exercise combined well with lectures. Everyone was a bit tired after long working days, but the traditional Russian sauna ("banya") and the Russian hospitality helped revitalize the students' brain functions! Students and instructors found new contacts and formed personal and professional networks. Most importantly, everyone became very good friends!
IARC will offer a Summer School for next year (2008) in Alaska: "On the Modeling of Arctic Climate". More information can be obtained at the IARC booth at the AGU Fall Meeting 2007 in San Francisco or by contacting Chris Lace at clace iarc [dot] uaf [dot] edu
Student Perspectives on the Summer Institute
"Summer institute '07 was really very well organized, so thanks to the organizers from Russia and the IARC. During this summer institute, a lot of interesting lectures were given by qualified scientists. It was very good for me to learn about the latest research and achievements in climatology, hydrology and ecology. Also, I had a chance to talk and exchange experience with other students of the school, which is very important, because keeping in touch now we will have better opportunities for collaboration."
Dmitry Chechin - Atmospheric Science grad student - Moscow State University, Russia
"Besides the interesting lectures and discussions, I enjoyed a lot of things during the school: the location, the environment, the friendly local people, the unforgettable excursions, to name a few. And, of course I will not forget to mention the dear mosquito, who kissed me when I slept, played football, and walked in the forest. From the institute, I got the real experience of the FOREST and was touched by the joy and challenge of the related research. It was the first time that I visited a peat bog!"

What have you tried so far?
Hey guys, i just started a new course in differential equations and im kinda having a hard time. Heres one of the problems I am having difficulty with:
Verify that the piecewise-defined function
is a solution of the differential equations on
Not quite. You cannot just choose two values of x. If x is any positive number, then so that y'= 2x. The equation xy'-2y = 0 becomes so the equation is satisfied for any positive x. If x is negative, . Do the same with that. Most importantly, what happens at x= 0? In particular what is the derivative of y at x= 0? (You can't just differentiate and set x= 0 because the derivative involves a limit from both sides: If x= 0 and h is positive, then x+h= 0+ h= h is positive, if h is negative, x+ h= h is negative.
If those two limits are the same, that is the dervative at x= 0. If they are not, the function is not differentiable at x= 0.

Emma Watson Seen Palling Around With Stefano Pilati, But Rumored to Return for Burberry's Spring Campaign
Does this qualify as fashion cheating?
Let's all take a moment to refocus our attention from Twilight and Kristen Stewart to the 19-year-old that matters much more to the fashion community: Harry Potter's Emma Watson. The fall 2009 face of Burberry and rising style star was spotted at Saturday's New York Rangers game with Spanish rock star Rafael Cebrian and Yves Saint Laurent creative director Stefano Pilati. According to "Page Six"'s source, she looked like she was on a date with Rafael, which would make Pilati the third wheel. But what were they all doing at a hockey game? If Emma really did just start dating this fellow, was she screening him with her friend Stefano? Or did Pilati tag along to woo one or the other for a YSL campaign? And does Burberry chief creative officer Christopher Bailey know about this? And if he does, is he okay with it? Then again, maybe the three of them just enjoy watching live sports.
Though a formal announcement hasn't been made about Burberry's spring 2010 face, a member of the Fashion Spot who claims to have spoken to Bailey "about two months ago" posts that Emma is indeed returning for the spring ads.

Ireland is a beautiful country filled with rolling green hills, castles, beautiful sheer cliffs, Guinness beer, and ultra-friendly locals. Dublin is a lively city with great pubs and history while the country is filled with beautiful landscapes and castles, so it's hard not to have a good time here. The country's small size makes it easy to explore regardless of the length of your trip. I absolutely love this country. It's a magical land full of wonder, history, and fun and I can't recommend visiting here enough. No one ever walks away unhappy from Ireland and, by using this travel guide, you'll know all the best things to do so you don't either. Visit Ireland. It's phenomenal.
Destination Guides for Ireland
Typical Costs
Accommodation – Prices average 10-30 EUR a night for a hostel dorm room, 45 EUR for a single room in a hostel, and starting at 40 EUR for a single or double in a budget hotel with a private bathroom. In the bigger cities, especially Dublin, expect to pay a bit more.
Food – Casual meals like pub food and fast food costs around 9 EUR for a meal. A restaurant main dish with a drink will cost about 18 EUR. Grocery shopping and cooking your own food will be around 40 EUR per week.
Transportation – Public transportation is first rate in Ireland, whether you're on a bus or train, expect free wifi, friendly drivers and timely departures. The network of options makes it easy and affordable to traverse the country during your stay. Bus trips around Dublin cost about 2 EUR for a single journey. Longer bus journeys, such as Dublin to Belfast will cost around 17 EUR. Taxis are expensive, starting at 6 EUR for a very short trip, and most cities are extremely walkable, so I suggest you avoid them.
Activities – Most museums throughout the country cost about 9-14 EUR. The Guinness Brewery is one of the few I would recommend, but the most expensive, 21 EUR at the door. Save 10% by booking online in advance (added bonus – you also get a fast pass to skip to the front during busy season). Day trips around the countryside will set you back 36 EUR or more.
Money Saving Tips
Fly budget – Ireland is extremely well-served by budget airlines traveling throughout the UK and Europe. By booking in advance with the likes of Ryanair, Easyjet, and BMIBaby, you can get cheap flights from Ireland to elsewhere in the world.
Student discounts – A valid student ID will get you discounts (up to 50%) to many attractions, museums, and buses throughout the country.
Drink less – Ireland's strong pub culture will hit your wallet hard. Temper the cost by visiting happy hours, drinking at home, or skipping drinks all together.
Eat the pub food – Eat at the pubs for good, hearty local Irish food that won't destroy your wallet.
Get a OPW Heritage Card – For those of you that love to tour heritage sites, you should definitely pick up one of these. It guarantees access to main attractions, including most of the castles throughout the country. The card costs 25 EUR for adults.
Top Things to See and Do in Ireland
Get down in Dublin – Most people who visit Ireland spend time in its capital city, Dublin. Dublin is synonymous with fun. Fans of Ireland's most famous export (Guinness) will find no shortage of pubs that claim to pour the city's best pint. The city's Georgian architecture, music, and "craic" have made Dublin one of Europe's most popular locations.
Wander around Galway – Famous for its horse racing festival every July, Galway is popular with tourists from all over the world. Connemara, where 'The Quiet Man' was filmed is a must see, along with Kylemore Abbey, a beautiful Benedictine monastery. Galway City itself is a hub for students, writers, and musicians.
Spot whales in Cork – Cork is a bustling city nestled on Ireland's south coast. Originally a maritime hub, Cork is now a cosmopolitan university city filled with cheap eats and a lively nightlife. Surfing and whale watching are also popular here.
Drive along the Ring of Kerry – Also known as the Iveragh Peninsula, this is one of the most well-trodden tourist trails in Ireland. The Ring of Kerry is filled with winding coast roads, lakes, mountainous terrain, and historical forts. Photogenic is an understatement for this area.
Scramble across the Giant's Causeway – Cross the border in to Northern Ireland to visit the famous UNESCO World Heritage site of Giant's Causeway. Myth surrounds this geological wonder of interlocking basalt columns that make you think they might actually be the stairs of giants (ok, not really but it's still beautiful). I recommend combining this with a visit to Bushmills Distillery to taste one of the finest whiskeys Ireland has to offer.
Party on St. Patrick's Day – March 17th is probably the best day of the year to be in Ireland. St. Patrick is Ireland's patron Saint and, as legend goes, he drove all the snakes out of the country. To celebrate, everyone gets incredibly drunk. Whether you believe the legend or not, this is the biggest party of the year in which everyone is Irish. The biggest parade takes place in Dublin.
Kiss the Blarney Stone – Home to the famous Blarney Stone, Blarney Castle sits just outside Cork. Visitors flock to see the Stone which is said to bestow eloquence on all those who kiss it.
Admire the Cliffs of Moher – The magnificent Cliffs of Moher are a must-see for fans of outstanding natural beauty. The view from the rugged cliff tops attract close to a million visitors every year.
Visit a castle – Ireland is steeped in history and the entire country is covered in castles, all in various states of (dis)repair. From the crumbling ruins of Dunluce Castle to the impeccably preserved Cahir Castle in Tipperary, it's hard to miss these historical beauties. You can kiss the Blarney stone at the castle that bears the same name. It's supposed to bring good luck.
Hike in Connemara – This national park is an awe-inspiring area. Many people come here for hiking and forest bike riding. There are a few castles within the park as well as an old mining area and a heritage and history center.
Walk through the John F Kennedy Arboretum – Located in County Wexford, this garden is home to over 4,500 species of trees and shrubs. There are several tea rooms, a visitors' center, and a picnic area. During the summer, there is also a little train that runs through the park.
Visit the Aran islands – Less than an hour off of the mainland lies the wild beauty of these non-contemporary islands. Here you can get around by bus, bike, or pony trap, whilst you see the various heritage sights, ruins, castles, and more. Tobar Einne and O'Briens Castle are the two major attractions to see.
Go back in time at Ulster Museum – Just a stone throw away from the Botanical Gardens in Belfast, this museum is host to an odd collection of artifacts and reveals the interesting history of Northern Ireland. There is even an exhibit on local wildlife. It is nice to have tea in the café as well.
Be Entranced by Newgrange — Newgrange is a prehistoric burial mound that dates back over 5000 years, even older than Stonehenge. Every year, on the date of the Winter Solstice, a beam of light streams down the perfectly aligned entrance passage to illuminate the interior of the burial chamber. Newgrange has been designed to offer a very interesting, informative visit.
Return to the Middle Ages in Killarney — Killarney is one of Ireland's most popular tourist destinations, mostly for its undeniable medieval charm. Visit Muckross Abbey (a 15th-century Franciscan friary), Ross Castle, or just wander around the town itself. This is also the traditional starting point for exploring the Ring of Kerry.

What can I say about Tuscany that has not been said already? Only that Tuscany north of the SS.435 Lucca-Pistoia-Florence road is very different from the south, with abrupt hills and deep well-watered valleys stretching north-east to the Appennines rising to 6000ft.+ at Abetone and elsewhere. San Moscato is still very much in the foothills (1500 ft), well within the area of olive + vine cultivation. The village, Pariana, is something of an 'eagles' nest' standing on a spur overlooking the valley which runs up from Collodi to the pass to Bagni di Lucca. Because of the plentiful water the valley bottom has long been used for paper-making and there are still some mills in operation there, though others are being converted into apartments. In the hills the traditional rural pursuits were, and still are, olive, vine and vegetable cultivation, honey, chestnuts, forestry and boar-hunting. As you might expect from such a list, the locals take their cuisine seriously and there are a couple of excellent country restaurants in the valley with a vast selection of eateries further afield between Pescia and Lucca. Wild boar (cinghiale) stewed with olives is a local delicacy, as are funghi, and figs with dried meats, and vin santo with cantucci biscuits - I could go on. In Pariana, a steep 10-minutes' walk from San Moscato, is a bakery which also sells staple foodstuffs, and there is a bigger shop at Biecina, at the junction with the main road (3 kms) and supermarkets, banks, speciality pasta shops, market etc at Collodi & Pescia, 20 mins drive away. Climate is normal Italian, with long hot sunny spells, and very pleasant in spring and autumn, but can be less settled than in the plain.
Collodi (10 kms south) is of some note, first as the place where Pinocchio was written, so it has its Parco di Pinocchio, and secondly for its recently restored Villa Garzoni with famous formal garden. The old village of Collodi is also very picturesque, as are the other villages on the flanks of the valley - Villa Basilica, Boveglio, Colognora, all 'eagles' nests' like Pariana itself. There are footpaths linking all these.
The road north up the valley goes over a pass with spectacular views to the Appennines and down to Bagni di Lucca, a nineteenth-century spa-town (still, of course, a spa with swimming etc) once home to the poet Shelley. This is also where the Linea Gotica passed in 1944 and there are memorials to the Italian resistance.
On the other side of the hills on which San Moscato stands, facing Lucca, are the Colline Lucchese doc vineyards and just the other side of the Lucca road are the Montecarlo doc vineyards.
I will not go into detail here over the cultural, shopping, promenading and other attractions of Lucca, our nearest substantial town, beyond saying that we never tire of visiting it. Its big festival is the Volto Santo, mid September. Pescia, which is closer, is smaller but has a lot to offer, as does the smart modern spa-town Montecatini Terme. Pisa, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano etc are within easy reach, some by rail.
There are coastal resorts all along the magnificent sandy beaches stretching north from Viareggio. Slightly further away there are dramatic rocky coasts starting at Bocca di Magra south of la Spezia which lead on to the Cinque Terre and Ligurian Riviera.
For dramatic scenery/mountain walking there is the Garfagnana valley, accessible via Bagni di Lucca, with Appennines and Apuan Alps (marble quarries): for sea views there are the Pisan hills between Lucca and Pisa and for coastal walking the Bocca di Magra peninsula and Cinque Terre. There are shady forest walks from the house and in the adjacent hills. On our website is a detailed guide to local walking.
Puccini came from Lucca and there is a Puccini festival in Viareggio in July/August but advisable to book on-line. Theatre and concerts at Lucca etc. Various village 'festas' especially the one in Pariana in early August when they dance in the piazza.
Otherwise just lie in the sun (or shade)!

Mercedes-Benz is to produce a limited-edition electric version of its A-class, according to reports in the US.
The "E-Cell" version of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class will debut at the Paris Motor Show, a spokesperson for the company told the New York Times.
The vehicle, which will go on sale from early next year, will have a range of 124 miles (200 km) and will have performance "equivalent to or slightly faster than the gas versions of the A-Class," said the report.
Only 500 of the vehicles will be produced, with further details set to be revealed on September 15, although it is not believed that the car will be sold in the US.
The vehicle is a product of the partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Tesla Motors, part-owned by Mercedes-Benz's parent company Daimler.
Tesla has provided the battery pack and controllers for the new A-Class, according to the New York Times report, but it has also played a key role in enabling Daimler's other brand, Smart, to produce its electric Fortwo for testing in Europe.

I find it simplest, when working with percentages to assume some specific number- 100 is easiest for percentages! So suppose further that our population consists of 100 people. Then r of them are mathematicians and 1- r are not. rn of them will be "left-handed mathematicians" and r- rn= r(1-n) will be "right-handed mathematicians". m(1- r) will be "left handed non-mathematicians" and 1-r- m(1- r)= (1-m)(1-r) will be "right-handed non-mathematicians".
Now we have that the total number of left-handed people in the population is nr+ m(1- r) and the total number of right-handed people is r(1-n)+ (1-m)(1-r). The percentage of mathematicians among left-handed people is and the percentage of mathematicians among right-handed people is
The problem, then, is to show that, if n> m, with m and n between 0 and 1, then [tex] . Since all of those numbers are positive, I would begin by "cross multiplying".

As flu continues to strike victims across the United States, Clovis doctors have begun to see more cases — 44 documented cases as of Friday in Plains Regional Medical Center — and many more people probably have the flu but haven't sought medical treatment.
That could be a serious mistake, according to Dr. Charles Hillis, a family practitioner at Plains Regional Medical Center.
"The people I've seen have just been moderately ill with typical flu symptoms," Hillis said. "The biggest thing to understand is some of the flus that have gone worldwide in the past have had death tolls in the hundreds of thousands or millions. People need to understand these can be devastating diseases."
According to Associated Press reports, two children have died of the flu so far in New Mexico, and at least 20 children have died nationwide in what officials say could become the worst flu season in years.
The worst flu outbreak in modern history was the 1918-1919 Spanish flu, which sickened between 20 and 40 percent of the world's population and led to an estimated 20 million deaths worldwide, a half million of those in the United States alone. More recent flu epidemics in 1957-1958 killed 70,000 in the United States, and the 1968-1969 Hong Kong flu killed 34,000.
While officials hope massive death tolls like that aren't likely with modern medicine, surviving a severe case of the flu depends on actually seeking medical treatment — and Hillis warned that some people don't seek help until it's too late.
Part of the problem, Hillis said, is that people don't always know the difference between a severe cold and influenza.
"The way flu is different from the standard cold is they both start off with respiratory symptoms, but (with the flu) people frequently have extreme fatigue, severe muscle aches; they are often bedridden just from the symptoms themselves," Hillis said. "There is no cure for the flu, but there are medications that can take care of the symptoms. People need to get started on the symptoms pretty early in the course of the disease."
While flu can strike almost anyone, Hillis said the very old and the very young are most likely to have serious medical problems if infected.
"If they are going to hit any segment of society hard it will be those two," Hillis said. "A lot of that has to do with immunity. The young kids have no immunity because they have not been exposed to all these things and as we get older our immunity wanes and the older people have more concomitant diseases."
Hillis said basic common-sense steps can reduce the risk of getting the flu.
"The single most important thing to do is avoid contact with ill people; even though this is Christmas, this is not the time to be mingling with large amounts of people," Hillis said.
"Wash your hands frequently and avoid close contact. Flu is highly contagious — if you're in a room with someone with flu and they cough and sneeze there is a very good chance you will get it."
For those who get the flu despite precautions, seeing the doctor is important.
"Contact the physicians at the first sign of symptoms," Hillis said. "Particularly those with lung disease and heart conditions, plan ahead, because there are recommendations for people with severe disease, and preventive medications."

Western Germany
Western Germany is the home of the low mountain ranges of the Hunsruck, Westerwald and Eifel regions; the Mosel wine country; and the scenic beauty of Sauerland. Its vines, dells and plateaus beckon the nature enthusiast but also the traveler seeking peace and a relaxed setting.
The Mosel Valley is Germany's wine country. Follow its 'Wine Road' over its 125-mile course, and you'll find endless wine bars and cellars allowing you to sample the region's bounty. It's a great road to enjoy by cycle or on foot, taking your time as you soak in the scenery and leave yourself plenty of time for stops.
The Sauerland is a cradle of nature in Germany. The rich greens of summer in the valley as well as the gold and purple hues of the fall make it a treasure trove of beauty throughout the year. Cozy towns and villas dot the area, which is known for its dipstone caves as well as skiing and bobsledding. And though hills, valleys and meadows take are the hallmarks of Sauerland brilliance, the area also offers fascinating old churches, museums and festivals. The area is a bonanza for the traveler seeking breathtaking landscapes and exhilarating activities.
The central highlands of the Eifel region were shaped by volcanic patterns in the Cenozoic Period, and left in their wake a series of craters in which formed lakes. The extinct volcanoes of the region are also a highlight as are the Celtic and Roman reminders left in the form of monasteries, villas and ruins.
Whether it's camping in Hunsruck, enjoying a cottage in Westwald or a villa in Sauerland, we feature your perfect style of lodging when the day's wanderings throughout Western Germany come to an end.

Judge OKs WPS auction process
April 22, 2005-- Home Textiles Today,
NEW YORK — WestPoint Stevens cleared a final hurdle and headed toward the finish line earlier today after a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge approved a set of bidding procedures that will lead to the sale of the company in just nine weeks, and its exit from a protracted bankruptcy some time in August.
After almost two hours of infighting and jockeying for position between lawyers for investor Carl Icahn and a steering committee for WestPoint creditors tied to investor Wilbur Ross, Judge Robert Drain green-lighted a blueprint that will govern the auction process for the major mill.
The date for the auction remains in place for June 21, with WestPoint deciding shortly after who has won the company — Icahn, Ross or a dark horse candidate yet to emerge. Judge Drain commented during the hearing, "There is a distinct possibility that a third party might come in."
A hearing in Drain's court is set for three days later, June 24, to confirm the auction process and the winner. Weeks later, some time in August, the company is expected to emerge from Chapter 11, virtually free of debt.

#LMRanks: Le Moyne's Corapi Making Noise
by Jac Coyne | LaxMagazine.com | Coyne Archive | Twitter
No. 2 Le Moyne Dolphins
2013 Record: 18-2 (NCAA Champions)
Top Returner: M Andrew Chadderdon, Sr.
X-Factor: G Pat Brothers, Jr.
|Le Moyne junior midfielder Joe Corapi scored a goal and dished out an assist in the national championship game against Mercyhurst. He'll be expected to build off that balanced production if the Dolphins want to repeat. (Greg Wall)
Joe Corapi plays loud.
Corapi, a junior middie for Le Moyne, barrels to the net whenever he gets a chance by using his speed and dodging ability, never shying away from contact if that's what it takes to score. And he scores plenty, as his 24 goals for the title-winning Dolphins last year indicates. He's a decent-sized guy at six feet and 175 pounds, but he seems a bit bigger just by the way he operates on the offensive end.
Then you talk to Corapi and the volume goes way down.
"It's funny, the way that he plays is a jam-it-down-your-throat kind of guy, but he is very quiet," said Le Moyne head coach Dan Sheehan. "To the point where we're always asking him to talk a little more. The personality does not match the playing style. You'd never match up his on-field personality and off-field personality."
He's a man of few words, but Corapi isn't shy. Focused is probably the best word.
"On the field, the one goal is we want to win," Corapi said. "I'm going to do everything I can and give 110 percent to do what we want to do."
Sheehan has been content with Corapi's production in his first two years after the Liverpool, N.Y., native chose Le Moyne over other high-end programs because of its small size and proximity to home. This year, however, the coach is expecting the same volume, but with some adjustments to the treble and bass.
Sheehan labels Corapi a "jump-in-the-cage-type of midfielder," but he'll be tasked with nuancing that approach as he tries to fill the shoes of some very talented graduates.
"In the locker room, everybody knows he has the ability to get to the cage, but it's kind of like a golfer walking around with just a driver in his bag," said Sheehan of Corapi. "You have to find the other clubs to complement the big club. That's the biggest challenge we've put in front of Joey this year."
Corapi recognizes the gauntlet placed before him and has readily, if not quietly, embraced his summons.
"When I have the ball in my stick, I have to be more beneficial to the team," he said. "Passing, scoring, everything. Now that I'm an older guy, I have to help everybody. Last year, I was a younger guy, just a sophomore, and now I'm a junior so I have to step it up even more."
Corapi and the rest of the Dolphins returning this spring know that they won't have the luxury of experienced guys like Tyler Prevost, Nate Frechette and goalie Jeff White around to bail them out when games get tight. Fortunately, last year's inspired run to the championship has given the entire team a poise that no amount of practice can replicate.
"Just coming out this year and in the last week of practice, you can already tell we have more confidence," Corapi said. "Coach has even noticed it. He seems to be happy and cheerful right now. You can tell that everyone knows what the goal is and everyone knows what has to be put in to get there again."
While Sheehan is unlikely to describe himself as 'happy' and/or 'cheerful' on the lacrosse field, even he has seen the changes that come with winning a championship.
"We do spend an awful lot of time telling our kids to forget about last year – forget about the results, but remember the path we took to get there and everything that went into that," he said. "We have a bunch of talented, confident kids. It's just my job to make sure that these pieces fit together in a timely fashion here. We're [just starting] and we're not looking for perfection just yet, but it's definitely on the horizon. The kids in the locker room understand what it means to play lacrosse here at Le Moyne and the expectations, burdens and demands of that.
"There are so many memorable things that happened during the run and they're all burned into your brain," Corapi added. "They're hard to forget, but we have a new season starting and all new memories to come."
If these new memories involve back-to-back championships, Corapi will be on the frontline of making it happen. He'll still be dodging hard to the net, but with some new wrinkles added in. And all of his plays will be loud, even if he isn't.
Lacrosse Magazine will continue its 2014 college lacrosse preview throughout January and into February, with team-by-team breakdowns of the top teams in NCAA Division I, II and III men's and women's lacrosse. Follow the countdown at LaxMagazine.com/LMRanks and on twitter at #LMRanks.

Other videos put out by Church of Skatan:
As you may (or may not) know, Church of Skatan has a couple members in common with the Shorty's team. The style of skating is pretty similar in the fact that it's mainly street. Oh My God! opens with a slam section then moves ahead with random pros and ams, featuring one or a couple of tricks. Some of the pros are big names, but Oh My God! also has footage of some skaters which are lesser known, but not lesser skilled. Several contests are featured at the end and the technical quality is good on all aspects. Music ranges from classic rock to machine-made beats.
Oh my God! is a typical modern street video. The skating is alright with a lot of high-tech ledge and picnic table skating and also a few handrails. It's pretty much your average video that you see today. It doesn't really have anything that jumps out at you, but the skating is still really good. Its not a waste of time to watch, but it's not a video I would hunt for.
How naughty, all the one finger salutes in the end of Oh My God! Well, I guess not THAT naughty because the significance of the middle finger is definitely dwindling. I mean I expect at least two middle finger shots per video in the 2k + 1. Enough social commentary. Oh My God! could be enough for a street/tech skaters wet dream. No old farts rock-n-rollin' in pools or ditches. Primarily all the footage is street skating from recent years.

New Year, Two New Book Releases
I have two new book releases to start out 2013: Unnatural Acts, the second full-length Dan Shamble, Zombie PI novel, and the paperback of Sisterhood of Dune, with Brian Herbert.
In the Unnatural Quarter, golems slave away in sweatshops, necromancers sell black-market trinkets to tourists, and the dead rise up—to work the night shift. But zombie detective Dan Shamble is no ordinary working stiff. When a local senator and his goons picket a ghostly production of Shakespeare in the Dark—condemning the troupe's "unnatural lifestyles"—Dan smells something rotten. And if something smells rotten to a zombie, you're in serious trouble…
Before his way of life, er, death is destroyed, Dan wants answers. Along the way, he needs to provide security for a mummified madame, defend a mixed-race couple (he's a vampire; she's a werewolf) from housing discrimination, and save his favorite watering hole, the Goblin Tavern, from drying up. Throw in a hairy hitman, a necro-maniac, and a bank robber who walks through walls, and Dan Shamble's plate is full. Maybe this time, the zombie detective has bitten off more than he can chew!
It is 83 years after the last of the thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, and great changes are brewing that will shape and twist all humankind.
Raquella Berto-Anirul has formed the Sisterhood school on the jungle planet Rossak as the first Reverend Mother. The descendants of Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva have built Venport Holdings using mutated spice-saturated Navigators who fly precursors of Heighliners. Gilbertus Albans, the ward of the hated robot Erasmus, is teaching humans to become Mentats…and hiding an unbelievable secret.
The Butlerian movement, led by Manford Torondo and rabidly opposed to all forms of "dangerous technology," begins to sweep across the known universe in mobs, millions strong, destroying everything in its path.
Every one of these characters, and all of these groups, will become enmeshed in the contest between Reason and Faith. All of them will be forced to choose sides in the inevitable crusade that could destroy humankind forever.
Find both of these novels at your favorite bookstore!

There were no record breaking feats this year, but Vodacom Blue Bulls winger Bjorn Basson finished off his first Currie Cup season with his new team by scoring a hat-trick of tries against the Leopards on Friday night.
Those tries also took him to the top of the try scorers in Absa Currie Cup, with 10 tries to his tally. Last season Basson scored a record-breaking 21 tries in the competition and with the 10 now added, will be looking for his 50th try next season.
Basson again showed he is such a lethal finisher, using great pace and anticipation, good support play and a willingness to go for the line as the Blue Bulls ran rampant.
