- Description
The PECI Tactical Flotation Support System 5326 is an inflatable aid to flotation devices specifically designed for covert war fighters, combat swimmers, and/or maritime airborne operations personnel. It can also be used with the Helicopter Aircrew Breathing Device (HABD) during egress from a submerged vessel of any type. The PECI Tactical Flotation Support System 5326 was designed to provide 45 lbs. positive buoyancy in seawater at a depth of 33 ft., 57 lbs. of positive flotation at a depth of 15 ft., and 80 lbs. of flotation on the surface, allowing today's war fighter a maximum load-out of equipment.
Each PECI Tactical Flotation Support System 5326 system consists of one each independent left and right hand units, which can be mounted on a belt. Each unit includes a welded flotation bladder, an inflation system, a pouch closure system, a pouch, and a firing handle. The bladder is a reusable welded fabric enclosure that deploys under the arm and is readily collapsed and stowed for future use. The inflation system utilizes a manually actuated CO2 cartridge for primary inflation and an oral inflation tube for secondary inflation.
The pouch of the PECI Tactical Flotation Support System 5326 uses a unique Grommet, Loop, and Pin (GLP) closure system design that combines positive closure of the pouch with space efficient packing. This method prevents accidental pouch opening and allows for the smallest unit size when fully packed (approx 6.5 in. x 2.75 in. x 2.25 in). A durable Cordura flap to further protect against damage and inadvertent actuation covers the entire closure mechanism.
The PECI Tactical Flotation Support System 5326's pouch contains and protects the bladder, inflation system, and closure system. It includes a waist belt loop and clip loops to secure the pouch to the webbing belt. The firing handle attaches to the outside of the pouch and uses color-coded beads to help distinguish left and right hand units. The handle serves to release the closure system and actuate the CO2 inflation system.
To manually actuate a PECI Tactical Flotation Support System 5326 unit, the user pulls upward on the firing handle. This motion initiates two sequential actions. First the pouch closure pins are released, allowing the pouches to open freely. Second the manual inflator lever is actuated, causing the firing pin to puncture the seal on the CO2 cartridges to release the gas and completely fill the bladder. Should the CO2 inflation system fail to operate, the bladder is filled through an oral inflation tube. This is accomplished by depressing the Oralock valve, then breathing into the tube.
Gas is released from the PECI Tactical Flotation Support System 5326 bladder by pressing downward on the Oralock valve and forcing the air out the oral inflation tube. Once all of the gas is evacuated from the bladder, the CO2 cartridges are replaced, maintenance is performed, and the units are repacked for future use.

Sunday is the best day for this walk, when the markets are in full swing. Start early at (1) Columbia Road flower market, a blur of scents and colors. The street is lined with funky shops like fragrance emporium (2) Angela Flanders (# 96) and (3) Treacle (# 110-112), where cute cupcakes are served on vintage crockery.
Turn left at Virginia Road and left again into Swanfield Street until you reach (4) Brick Lane on your left, center of the 16th-century brick trade. These days, it's more famous for its Indian restaurants and after-hours parties. "The bustlings of Brick Lane are a quintessential London experience," says Mark Sladen, director of exhibitions, Institute of Contemporary Arts. "After dark, crowds spill out of bars in the (5) Truman Brewery and hit the 24-hour bagel shops." This area was once known as little Jerusalem. Check out (6) Tatty Devine (#236) for humorous plastic jewelry and (7) Bernstock Speirs next door for hand-made hats.
Turn left into Cheshire Street, another great source of offbeat boutiques like (8) Labour & Wait (#18), which stocks traditional home-ware, and (9) EllaDoran (# 46) whose cushions and coasters are printed with close-up photos. Continue back down Brick Lane and make a right on Hanbury Street—once Jack the Ripper territory—now home to (10) Sunday UpMarket, brimming with second-hand clothes and hand-crafted accessories.
From Hanbury, turn left into Wilkes Street, which intersects (11) Fournier Street, an 18th-century throwback with painted wooden shutters and perfectly preserved facades. "In the shadows of Hawksmoor's masterful (12) Christ Church, these exquisite Georgian terraces hold the many stories and voices which make up Spitalfield's living palimpsest," says Jack Lohman, director Museum of London. Number 12 is home to artistic double act Gilbert and George.
Turn right and cross over Commercial Street to (13) Spitalfields Market. "More than the grand and feted institutions, here is London as it speaks through Londoners. You'll discover cutting-edge fashion in an area Huguenot weavers made famous for the finest textiles," says Lohman. Beneath Bishop's Square, behind the market, is "an extraordinary (14) charnel house, preserved as a moving testament to medieval devotion." Over 10,000 human remains were unearthed in 1999—the largest excavation in British history, visible through a glass pavement.
Bishop's Square is bordered by Brushfield Street. Pop into (15) S & M Café at # 48—not for kinky contraptions, but for old-fashioned sausage and mash in surroundings straight out of the 1950s. "Come sad, leave happy" the star-shaped sign promises. A couple of doors down at # 42 is (16) A. Gold. "This old-fashioned grocer stocks indigenous treats like fine teas and fruit cakes made by small, artisan producers all over Britain," says Henrietta Green.
From Brushfield, turn right onto Commercial Street until you hit (17) Whitechapel High Street. On your left (# 80-82) is Whitechapel Art Gallery, "the first place in London to show now legendary artists like Picasso, Rothko, and Jackson Pollock. Exhibitions are well thought out and often surprising," says Hannah Duguid, an arts writer at The Independent. The gallery is undergoing expansion, with a second building due to open in 2008; meanwhile, you can catch poetry, talks and films, as well as contemporary art.

text: You already have quite a few suggestions, still, adding some more as a few smaller Tuscan cities might be worth visiting as well. Volterra is famous for its alabaster, Carrara for its marble. And then there's the tiny community of Monteriggioni. It's a medieval town and when I was in Italy, ages ago, they had a medieval festival at least one night but I think it was more than that. With your food you got a clay bowl and clay jar and a carved, wooden spoon to eat with which we still have!

Do you know any high school juniors or seniors who are preparing to take or retake the ACT? Or perhaps you are one yourself? Don't miss your chance to better understand and prepare for this important test!
I know after my first try – just winging it really – I signed up for a second test to try to get a higher score that would have meant thousands of dollars more toward tuition at the college of my choice. Unfortunately, I did not take a class from the professionals and ended up with the same score a second time. I actually improved in several specific areas but dropped in others resulting in the same overall score.
Does "class from the professionals" sound a bit too expensive for you? It usually is around $150. Good thing we're offering one for free here at the Main Library on Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 12:00 pm. Class will start promptly at 12:00 pm (just like the actual ACT test starts promptly) so plan on getting here early.
There are two requirements:
1. You must be a high school junior or senior with a Grand Rapids Public Library card
2. You must register in advance (there's limited space available)
What to expect? Everything you need for a better score:
• content review
• reading comprehension techniques
• testing tactics
• specific ACT strategies
• a free copy of Barron's ACT

If you were able to watch that without tearing up then you are a SMALLER man than me.
damn man. im choking up. this is tough
That song they were playing sounded pretty good. Im going to have go check out that album.
This segment makes me really look forward to someday having a kid of my own and doing everything I can for it, being the best father I can be. Growing up without a father, or any male figure in your life, is tough as shite. I at least had my father around until 8th grade, but Vedder's response to Steve's question hits me hard. I wish I had my father around, to be proud of me, and to help me grow as a man. Seeing my little sister, who's about to turn 12, grow up not knowing him at all breaks my heart just about every day also. This really sheds light onto how special of a man Steve is, going out of his way to make sure his child will have the guidance of a father, even if it's only in video form.

National Portfolio Days
Applying for a major in the College of Imaging Arts & Sciences (CIAS)? Meet with our Faculty members at a National Portfolio Day this fall!
If you are applying to a major in the School of Art, School of Design, or School of American Crafts you will be required to submit a portfolio of work along with your undergraduate application to RIT.
Not too long ago I was preparing my own portfolio for art school and attending National Portfolio Days myself.
Originally from Saratoga Springs, NY, I attended a National Portfolio Day in Connecticut and it is one day in my life that I will not soon forget. I was able to visit with faculty and admissions representatives from three schools that I was interested in.
My experience with each school was very different. The first school I saw gave me a great critique and gave me tips on how to improve my work for my application. The next school made me cry. I laugh about it now, but it was not exactly what I had planned on (and I wasn't the only student in line for that school in tears). Long story short- this school questioned my passion as an artist because I had written "undecided" on my inquiry card. They told me to leave with out even seeing my portfolio. I insisted through my tears that they have a look, and after the review I was encouraged to apply. I'm sure you can already guess that I chose not to!
RIT was the last school that I stopped by to see. I had a great experience with the faculty members. They laid out all of my work at once and gave me very positive feedback. During the visit I was asked if I would like to make this critique a part of my official portfolio review. I agreed to it and had my portfolio accepted on the spot! It was a great feeling and a good note to end the day on.
I hope more students make it through National Portfolio Days without tears, but it was a valuable experience that I would do all over again in a heartbeat. Here are a few tips to make your trip an enjoyable and productive experience.
Ashley's Tips:
Do your homework
Research schools that are a good fit for you and make a list of your top 10.
There is a good chance you will run out of time to see everyone on your list, but a plan for the day will definitely help!
Get organized
Bring your work in a manageable portfolio.
Keep your work neat and clean.
Be prepared to speak about each piece.
Arrive early
It's a long, busy day.
Plan to be there from start to finish.
Check in early and map out your day!
Have an open mind
Take criticism, note it and make plans to improve your work.

AmandaWhat did your portfolio consist of?
Ashley HenniganI had probably close to 10 drawings, a few paintings, and a few photographs. I also had 3-5 graphic design pieces and one of my sketchbooks with me.
I can say that the reviews were mostly based on drawing ability from direct observation, so include as many of those pieces as possible- no matter what kind of art you intend on studying.

Recently in On the Bearcats Beat Category
|Offense Rank
|Miami (OH)
Brendon Kay is enjoying the best run of his career as the offense changed to fit his style.
CINCINNATI - In late July, Brendon Kay hovered 30,000 feet above the ground flying on his way back from the Manning Passing Camp in Thibodaux, La.
Staring out the window of the plane it's hard not to think about all the skills acquired over the course of the week and how it can apply to a sixth year of eligibility and opportunity Kay waited for his entire life.
Yet, a two-month blur of injuries, ugly losses, a fight for his job and offensive growing pains left that opportunity as a distant memory and uncertain future.
In the aftermath of a tragedy outside Oxford and gutcheck defeat in Tampa the Brendon Kay who Bearcats pinned hopes of the 2013 offense on emerged, one spiral at a time - the latest tossing four touchdowns in Saturday's 41-16 victory against Connecticut.
Kay and the Bearcats offense have hit the stride Kay daydreamed about this offeseason. Finally. Few thought the offensive identity would take this long, but without doubt it's been established. It wears No. 11.
"You hope it doesn't (take this long)," said Kay after throwing for 300 yards and the four scores. "It's tough with all the coaching changes. There's going to be ups and downs regardless with all the stuff. It's just part or the process."
Tommy Tuberville described Kay's game Saturday as "gutty." A great place to start for a quarterback playing through a multitude of ailments and barely practicing. Through the pain, Kay returned to the same efficiency and execution showcased during his impressive run to close out the 2012 season. For those final five games he threw 10 touchdowns to just two picks to go with 1,282 yards over the final five games.
Since the disastrous first half at South Florida Kay's last 10 quarters have been the best run of his career. He's hit 60 of 79 passes for 717 yards. That's an absurd 76 percent completion rate. In the meantime he's thrown nine touchdowns to one interception.
Not a bad run. Oh yeah, that's for an offense who scored 93 points in the process.
Much of that stems from being willing to crumble up the original offensive philosophy and throw it in the trash. The idea of playing power football need to go. It wasn't working, the time came to play into Kay's strengths and spread the passing game. So, slot receivers Anthony McClung and Shaq Washington began running the slot with Chris Moore and emerging transfer Mekale McKay taking the top off.
It changed the game. Mostly because Kay's proven more than capable to do so.
"We had to find something that will open it up," Tuberville said. "By spreading out it got a guy out of the box, made them play a little bit more zone coverage and Brendon is very accurate. Just happened to start clicking for us."
Saturday's click started with the first snap. All week offensive coordinator Eddie Gran and Kay talked about throwing a bomb to open the game. Only one problem, during the entire week of practice Kay couldn't throw one. It hurt to much.
Dropping back off a play action he stood in the pocket and nobody quite knew what to expect. Not a problem, though. Kay delivered a perfect deep ball that hit Mekale McKay in stride for a 56-yard gain. If UC looked to send a message and set a tone, both were accomplished.
"I didn't throw it all week because I couldn't really throw a long ball," Kay said. "I had the adrenaline going at the beginning of the game."
Kay and the Bearcats never looked back. He connected on five passes of at least 40 yards entering the game, he added two more with the bomb to McKay and another 41-yard bullet to tight end Blake Annen rumbling down the right sideline for a touchdown.
A plot twist in the Brendon Kay saga wouldn't be right without fighting through injuries. Tuberville will demand Kay take nearly all of the 10-day break off before heading to Memphis to play the Tigers.
The quarterback describes himself as "banged up." Don't expect a player who missed years at a time with injuries to let a banged up body keep him from this opportunity. Specifically the way he's play now.
When flying above clouds before the season, allowing injuries to curtail his season wasn't a part of the vision.
"I am going to play and the team knows I am going to play," Kay said. "As long as I can walk I am going to be out there."
I want to hear from you! Send any comments, questions or suggestions to email@example.com or hit me up on Twitter @pauldehnerjr.

The trying week for the Bearcats football team and university family teaches one life's hardest, unforgettable lessons.

Re: Italian restaurant in London: very bad quality of food!
P.S.A carbonara sauce that isn't fresh seems normal but is a salmonela risk because of the eggs, I doubt any restaurant would be foolish enough to gamble with something like that.
I agree TSR
I interviewed my husband at supper and he told me his recipe
3 eggs for 2 people
salt and pepper
smoked pancetta lightly roasted but not burnt tossed on top of the cooked pasta mixed with the eggs mixture
he said to put the pan on the fire again would be killing his carbonara, it has to be watery then not eggs like frittata
that's why he takes his portion on his plate and I put the pan on the fire again
then you can go on discussing if guanciale is " the ingredient" for carbonara instead of pancetta
but this is another story

Sorrym but carbonara has no crea neither it has any sauce of any kind. Carbonara is just eggs and cheese beaten toghether and added to the pasta and tossed pancetta. So it can't be stale either, since carbonara sauce just dose not exist: pasta alla carbonara is born onlyt the very moment you add the eggs to the piping-hot pasta and pancetta and stir it around until it gets creamy.

Re: Italian restaurant in London: very bad quality of food!
That is the recipe I have always used too, Alice. But a friend of mine in Sicily always uses cream in his.

Re: Italian restaurant in London: very bad quality of food!
Many Italians do. The use of cream in several pasta recipes is a legacy of the late 1970's when it started being added to correct mistakes. Cream flattens out mistakes, smooths out the saltyness, hides away bad quality of the ingredients and burhes up stale stuff. In the 1970's a new dish appeared in many restaurants: pasta "dello chef", which was essentially all of yesterdays pasta sauce leftovers stirred toghether with a good measure of cream. Since then cream started to be added in about each and every pasta dish. Prosciutto and peas tagliatelle used to be just peas cooked in butter with added prosciutto dices, but this required a bit of accuracy to make the whole thing creamy: you had to drain your tagliatelle leaving a bit of water aside, toss the taglaitelle with the buttery mixture of prosciutto and peas, adding water to get enough starch to "stick" and make it all creamy enough. Adding cream solved the issue and made making this sauce easy, pity that it tasted of cream instead of peas and prosciutto! The same goes for mushroom or truffle pasta. The addiction of cream to carbonara is also supposed to help with creamyness: thoeretically, carbonara should be made only with the freshest, free-range, organic eggs, so that you minimize health risks with no need to cook the eggs. This is because carbonara required the egg to be essentially raw! Adding cream allows you to use cheaper, intensive-farmed eggs because you can now actually cook your eggs retaining the creamyness. Onm the other hand, these eggs taste much worse, and cream drains the egg taste so that you are not really tasting the egg, or so that any bad tastes get diluted and you notice them less. Essentually, adding cream is useful to restaurants who want to get rid of stale, cheap eggs.

Re: Italian restaurant in London: very bad quality of food!
Again, I will offer the thought that with all the thousands of people eating at Jamie's restaurant every week, we only occasionally hear of someone who is unhappy....
That being said, and I'm not sure how the business is set up, if Jamie is sole owner of each of those restaurants, he should be interested if food is being prepared improperly. If they are "franchises" (do you have those there?), then the individual manager/owners are primarily responsible for the quality of the food. That is why you will see a wide difference in the quality of food in some franchise chains, the man whose name is over the door has very little control of what's going on inside. Jamie's empire has grown very quickly in the last few years, and it's only natural that he has to rely on others.
I would love to be able to visit one of his restaurants. I think he's a great guy and a wonderful chef, and if I had a bad meal, I would send it back to the kitchen, but not think that Jamie was personally responsible of one plate of bad pasta.

Re: Italian restaurant in London: very bad quality of food!
Well I'd like to appologise to the original poster and also to thank you all for whats an amazing info to me. Carbonara was actually the first dish I was taught to cook. It was about 20 years ago. Obviously wasnt a chef who taught me and Ive always cooked it with cream (silly belief). Then a few years ago I read Jamie's recipe which also has cream and also lemon zest that really adds a great touch to it.
It goes to show that we are always learning...
Now this new info brings me to a question: do you use just egg yolks or both yolk and whites?

Re: Italian restaurant in London: very bad quality of food!
Both, but it dipends on pasta amounts and eggs sizes. I f a whole egg seems too much, then I only use the yolk, so a carbonara for four may be made with 320 grams of pasta and three large eggs or three whole small eggs and one yolk.

Slaughterhouse supplying school lunches reopens after sanitation issues
HANFORD, Calif. (AP) - A slaughterhouse that supplies the National School Lunch Program has reopened after shutting down for filthy conditions.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture closed Central Valley in northern California on Monday. Officials said inspectors had to leave because things were so unsanitary. The facility just resumed activity on Wednesday.
Last September the same plant pulled nearly 60,000 pounds of beef because pieces of plastic could be in the meat. So far, there is no recall tied to this latest closure.

text: Was not looking to start anything today but I guess at times it does not take much. Industry Standard was not what I was looking for as it pertains to is it governmently legal or not. Once again sqkcrk you kind of hit it because I do not know what I would call it just what I know someone is doing is calling it thus that is why I asked the question. I understand the statment of local is local because it is local to somewhere some say local is 25 miles others say 125 miles so the term local is also defined by the person using it. In the 20's next door was within your grasp and not much more today the world is within your grasp.

I don't know that I will ever be able to complete a Wedding Ring quilt, Mariner's compass or Grandmother's flower garden. I have tried and they are in my UFO pile.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I don't know that I will ever be able to complete a Wedding Ring quilt, Mariner's compass or Grandmother's flower garden. I have tried and they are in my UFO pile.
Anything with a curved seam, hate them! yes, Ive tried that dumb sewing machine foot specifically designed to "make it easier" does not, still time consuming.
Storm at sea tooooooo many pcs.
mariners compass is easy its the way it goes tog, all sstraight lines.
Paper piecing, cathedral windows and hexagons
A Dear Jane, Baltimore Album or Lone star. I love applique, and feel like I do it well, but for some reason the first 2 just scare my senseless!
Blessed are the children of quilters, for they shall inherit the quilts....
It does not do well, Harry, to dwell on the dreams....and forget to live. - Albus Dumbledore
For me, it's anything with lots of points coming together, like pinwheels...can't ever seem to get them right without ripping several times...have done a bargello and zipped right through it....I really want to learn applique, but reading a book just doesn't seem to give me enough info to do it right....I need a tutor I guess
The sewing lines will have the same diameter, obviously, on both pieces of fabric (circle and background).
All the GREEN lines are the same length - 4 inches in this example.
(It doesn't look like it but they are.)
The black represents part of the fabric used for the seam allowances.
Many of the circle rulers can cut either piece taking into account the SA.
Any pattern that has diamond shaped pieces. I have an Better Holmes & Garden's Patchwork & Quilting book that has a 1977 copywrite. There is a picture of a Storm at Sea quilt that I love. I talk myself out of doing one every time I look at the pattern pieces.
I like paper piecing very much, and my brain flowed easily into working reverse. When I first got my sewing machine I made a tree skirt for Christmas with circles and it was a little tough because I wasn't using a pattern but doable. what does scare me is the Dear Jane blocks. I admire that very much but the directions seem lacking. I don't like directions to much to begin with that is why I am always changing things up. Well keep posting all of those lovely Dear Jane quilts and I comment all of you conquers of those beauties.
Create something beautiful from scraps.

An American beach-themed eaterie making waves in Auckland's corporate heart is expected to operate for only a couple more months, but then something more permanent is envisaged for the Shortland St site.
Greg Loveridge, director of landlord Robt Jones Holdings, said no decision had been made about the future of The Hamptons, which is due to finish operating in May.
But his company has larger plans for the area at the bottom of the AIG building at 37-41 Shortland St.
"It's a pop-up bar/restaurant there for four months. We have plans for a more permanent restaurant as well," he said.
The venue has been built in what was an open outdoor space off Shortland St at the tower's entrance, but Loveridge said this area was never a designated formal public open space on Auckland Council's district plan and so was operating legally.
"It's not public space. However, sometime in the 1970s/80s, a deal was done that would turn it over to public space if additional floors - from memory 10 - were built on the existing tower.
This never happened," he said.
Clarification that the area was not public open space was given to the company at a council urban design panel hearing last year, he said.
Some surprise has been expressed about the rustic nature of materials and construction on the street frontage of the cafe site but Loveridge said more permanent materials including stone would be considered for the new restaurant.
Reviews said the casual venue with its weatherboards, white picket fences, garden boxes and brightly coloured stools was a perfect mix with the surrounding towering steel and mirrored office towers.
Old-fashioned lifesaving rings, rustic wooden bar leaners, circular boat windows on doors, hanging surfboards and a casual cabana bar flanked with shutters characterised the beach theme.
The Hamptons is the latest project for restaurateur Tony Stewart of Clooney, who teamed up with head chef Des Harris, Tom Mayo and Grant Calder to open the venue in January.
It was designed to evoke the dreamy feel of the Long Island peninsula in the state of New York.
Reviewers have praised the pop-up bar, describing it as a relaxed and sophisticated haven that provided a respite from the busyness of the suited-up, silver towered office blocks of Shortland St.
The 19-level AIG office tower with an arcade and plaza area and a separate annexe was previously the AXA Centre and the National Mutual Centre. The block, refurbished in 1998, was designed by Peddle Thorp & Walker and formerly owned by the National Mutual Life Association.


text: 23 May 2013 The first men on top of the world Previous slide Next slide 1 of 22 View All Skip Ad Sixty years ago this month, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first men to stand at the highest point in the world, in the first successful attempt to climb Mount Everest. With thousands following in their footsteps since, much has changed on the Himalayan peak - and not always for the better. There have been accidents, overcrowding and queues to reach the summit. This year, there was a much-publicised fracas between Sherpas and latter-day adventurers hoping for their moment on the roof of the world. Here we take a look back at a time when the conquest of the mountain was still a stirring, magnificent achievement, with these striking behind-the-scenes pictures. This simple photograph of Edmund Hillary and George Lowe with their two Sherpa guides and friends is one of George's favourites. It was taken in 1952, the year before the big climb. When they returned to Nepal the following year, they found that both Sherpa had been taken ill and had died for lack o medicine. It was then that Hillary decided the Sherpa needed to be helped, and later, with Lowe's assistance, he set up the Himalayan Trust to support them.

The winds kicked up near the West African coast and shot across the Atlantic Ocean. Two weeks later, they barreled past Puerto Rico and turned north.
But when the storm spared Florida and drifted east of Cape Hatteras in North Carolina, it was largely written off.
It was September of 1938. There was no radar. And hurricanes never landed in New England, anyway.
The morning of September 21, Anne and Catherine Moore were at home with their parents on Napatree Point, Rhode Island, a sandy spit stretching out from Watch Hill.
It was a community of about 150, serviced by a single road. There was swimming on the bay side. On the ocean side, too. And the woolen swimsuits, Anne recalls in the American Experience documentary Hurricane of '38, were scratchy.
"It really hurt," she says, with a chuckle. "It just did."
In downtown Providence, those lucky enough to hold a job amid the Depression trundled to and from work. The less fortunate window shopped.
The old Metropolitan Theatre was offering up Spencer Tracy that day, and Doris Layden and some girlfriends planned to see him after work. By 2 pm, the sky was growing ominous.
"The clouds were just racing by," Layden says, in the same documentary. "They weren't standing still, they were racing."
Offshore, to the south, the barometric readings were dangerously low. But there was no warning from the National Weather Service.
And then it came.
The hurricane with no name pounded Long Island, destroying fishing boats and vacation homes and washing away a Westhampton cinema. In New York City, the East River flooded three blocks of Manhattan. The Bronx went dark.
On Napatree Point, phone lines were down. And the Moore family knew nothing of what approached. A window frame popped out of the wall in the dining room. And the family piled into the car to evacuate. But the garage door, Anne recalls in Hurricane of '38, wouldn't open.
Back in the house, the water was pushing at the front door and the girls' father hurled himself at it. "I remember looking at my father trying to hold a board against the front door, or trying to hold the front door, and being quite sure, of course, that he could hold the ocean back," Catherine says, in the documentary. "And then the horror of realizing that — that he couldn't."
The family scrambled up to the second floor and gathered in a bedroom. Next door, they saw some neighbors at the window, waving. Those folks, at some point, decided to make a dash for the Moores' house; their own was giving way.
Catherine saw the neighbors on the porch, across the way. "And then a wave came, and they were gone," she says.
"At that point, there was more than a sense that we were not going to make it," Anne says, "it was almost a certainty."
The house shook. Mother and father, four children, an aunt, two maids, and a handyman dashed to the third floor. And then the house, the last standing on Napatree Point, gave way.
A piece of the floor suddenly became a raft. "Next thing I knew," Catherine says, "we were floating — we were on the water with the waves crashing on us."

According to Troy Renck of The Denver Post, the Rockies are willing to listen to offers on outfielders Michael Cuddyer and Dexter Fowler. Renck credits this information to rival executives in the industry, so we should take this with a grain of salt. While these rumors don't seem completely farfetched because of the Rockies logjam at first base and in the outfield, I wouldn't burn my Cuddyer or Fowler jerseys just yet.
Let's start with Fowler, who had the best season of his career at the plate this year and subsequently was the best hitter on the club leading the Rockies with a 3.5 oWAR (BBref). Looking solely at Fowler's BB%, K%, and ISO (isolated power, SLG-BA), he had a very similar season to 2011 as in each of the last two years he's walked at least 12% of the time, struck out at least 23% of the time, and posted an ISO over .166.
The difference this year is Fowler seems to be hitting the ball a lot harder. His line drive rate is up to 27.2% from 21.4% last season and his BABIP is up to .390 from .354. This led to Fowler finally completing a full season in the Majors without getting sent down to Triple-A to work on swing mechanics, which he seems to have ironed out, and his first season with a .300 average since he was at Double-A in 2008.
Thanks to time missed by Troy Tulowitzki and a bit of a down year for Carlos Gonzalez, Fowler was the Rockies best offensive player this year. His defense, however, leaves something to be desired according to the advanced metrics. FanGraphs' UZR was never much a fan of Fowler in center, but gave him one of his lowest scores ever this season (-14.3). Now, UZR isn't perfect, and Coors Field's spacious outfield alleys can be daunting even on an outfielder with Dex's range, but the point stands that his defense at Coors isn't where he's providing value.
Fowler turns 27 at the end of March before Opening Day 2013 and will be arbitration eligible for the first time this off-season. Fowler has said he wants to stay in Colorado and recently changed agents from Scott Boras to Casey Close, who represents many players including Derek Jeter. The agent switch certainly makes an extension in Colorado more palatable. Still, there are plenty of teams that would be interested in Fowler and have an opening in centerfield for next year. The Braves certainly come to mind as Michael Bourn is set to be a free agent this winter, Atlanta has many good young arms in the system, and Fowler is a Georgia native.
There really isn't another time to make this decision on Fowler; the time is now. The Rockies front office needs to decide either to sign Fowler to a long term deal this offseason or trade him for a haul that can set them up to contend in years to come. Fowler had his best year at the best time and now he's forced them into this decision that can almost only end in Fowler getting a massive pay day whether they keep him or not.
Even if somehow the Rockies can't find the right return for him in a trade this offseason—and let's be honest that wouldn't be so surprising given this team traded Seth Smith for Josh Outman and Guillermo Moscoso last year—Fowler will take them to the cleaners in arbitration this offseason if a long term deal isn't agreed upon.
Fowler is hardly looked at as a three true outcomes guy (HR, BB, SO) because of his lack of home runs (13), but he did have the third best OBP of anyone who struck out 120 times in the National League this season. He also had the 6th best OPS in all of baseball of batters with at least 65 walks and 120 strikeouts. The only batters ahead of him there: Mike Trout, Andrew McCutchen, Josh Willingham, Matt Holliday, and Chase Headley. These aren't bad stats or lists to be on when you're heading into contract negotiations.
Michael Cuddyer, the other Rockies outfielder rumored to be available, was rewarded last offseason with a very rich deal himself. The Rockies signed Cuddyer to a 3-year, $31.5 million contract and through one season the club has been rewarded with very little return on investment. Cuddyer, a corner outfielder with no defensive value on the wrong side of 30, is just about the perfect model for a player who doesn't figure to age particularly well. As you can see from his offensive numbers, he's already in decline (100 OPS+) and really only useful against left-handed pitching (.304 OBP vs. RHP).
The Rockies listened to offers on Cuddyer at the trade deadline this year and those talks went nowhere because this front office values him higher than every other front office. That's why they signed him in the first place, although Troy Renck claimed in his piece that there was a mystery team that matched the Rockies lucrative offer, which I'm not sure I believe even from an anonymous source.
Either way, at this point if the Rockies want to move Cuddyer the club will be picking up a significant portion of what remains on his contract. I doubt the Rockies willingness to eat enough money to move Cuddyer for the juice to be worth the squeeze as even if a team acquiring Cuddyer only has to pay half of the remaining $21 million left on his contract that team isn't going to give up a decent player for that privilege. At least Cuddyer can do some pretty amazing card tricks and is still a public relations dreamboat, which could be why they signed him in the first place.
Renck also reports that teams will come calling about Troy Tulowitzki this offseason, but even after these last two horrible seasons for Colorado it doesn't appear that Tulo will be made available. The Rockies front office has to find ways to set this team up better for the future and listening to offers on these players is certainly an option worth exploring, but this news doesn't put Rockies fans at ease after the club made the two worst trades in baseball last winter.

April 14, 1970
Ottawa, CA
Ottawa Civic Centre
includes: We're Gonna Groove, Dazed and Confused, Heartbreaker, Bring It On Home, White Summer / Black Mountainside, Since I've Been Loving You, Organ solo / Thank You, What Is and What Should Never Be, Moby Dick, Whole Lotta Love.
Press Reviews: Not since the glorious, glamorous, heyday of the Beatles had there been anything like it.
An opening night audience of 19,000 people in Vancouver, surpassing the Beatles' house record by more than 2,000. In Los Angeles, more than 20,000 fans, and a cheque for $71,000, topping Cream's one-night record fee of $70,000 at Madison Square Garden.
In Montreal the night before last, a crowd of almost 18,000 – smashing the house record. And then last night, amidst exams and Ottawa's traditionally small turnouts on weekdays about 8,000 crammed into the civic centre.
Who was causing all the fuss? Who else but Led Zeppelin, steamrollling its way across North America on its fifth tour in 18 months. This jaunt will earn the group in excess of $1.2 million for 26 concerts.
Toronto missed out this tour, and it was our loss. But to be fair, Toronto has seen the Zepp three times previously, while Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa missed out.
The Ottawa gig was not the best the group has ever done, but they were at considerable psychological disadvantage in playing a massive stark concrete arena such as the civic centre. It may be the ideal spot for a hockey game, but it was too artistically cold for a musical event such as this.
Billed as an evening with Led Zeppelin, the concert was just that. There were no supporting acts, no intermission. Just two solid hours of smashing, splattering rock music. The sound ripped out of six massive speakers, infiltrating anything which stood, sat or lay in its way.
The repertoire was almost all well-know, which added to the impact. Culled from both the Led Zeppelin albums, it was delivered with style because of the sheer waves of volume with finesse.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with volume in rock. Contrary to what most critics claim, volume is used in rock not to cover up lack of expertise but to add sting to the message.
In this area, there has never been a more potent group than Led Zeppelin. Perhaps this is why no other group since the Beatles, or before for that matter, has been able to generate the sort of excitement and energy which Led Zeppelin is offering right now.
Backstage, after the show, it resembled the winners' dressing room after a Grey Cup final. There were TV cameras and radio microphones, autograph hunters thrusting forth posters and hot dog wrappers, and businessmen tossing in business cards.
Amidst the chaos, I managed to learn from Jimmy Page that a third Led Zeppelin album to be called Zeppelin III, will be released in July.
"It will have more variety than the other two albums," Page said, "and there'll be more emphasis on acoustic guitar.
Robert Plant cut in, through the clatter, "and there'll be some nice vocal harmony things."
Then the group got into the limousines and headed back to the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, where they are occupying the same suite used by John and Yoko. [4.15.70 / Ottawa Journal / by Ritchie Yorke]
Thousands Thrill to Rock Band
Led Zeppelin, one of the world's most foremost rock bands, presented a concert April 14, in the Ottawa Civic Centre, Ottawa, Ont. The concert was sponsored by one of the local music stores, the Treble Cleft. The concert was an immeasurable success and attended by nearly 8,000 young people.
The Zeppelin presented themselves not only as splended musicians but as true showmen. Although the group arrived late, they performed a thrilling show with a highlight of John Bonham's drum solo without drum sticks. Bonham formed such a rapore with the audience it seemed that you and he were alone. Everyone was aware of this & it gave added reason for the standing ovation given him.
Jimmy Page also had a solo on lead guitar. Jimmy showed that he not only a master on lead with his fingers but also with a violin bow. Page's presentation of "Heartbreaker" was completely unbelievable. It was like listening to the song for the first time. Page also received a standing ovation.
John Paul Jones remained somewhat subdued as usual. But his bass was as heavy and as great as always. John Paul,
also spent some time on the electric piano as did Robert Plant.
The showman himself, Bob Plant, seemed to have cut his vocals somewhat but still thrilled the crowd with "Dazed and Confused". Plant's bodymotions set the whole audience loose and relaxed. Robert's harmonica sounded as sweet and mellow as always. The group left the stage with the crowd begging for more.
Love, music, freedom, and peace.

Concert description
All that remains from this excellent, Pagey dominated show. Robert's voice is crystal clear and the band is slick and fluid, especially Page who pushes it all to the limits, especially in a frenzied Heartbreaker compete with the 1970 Theremin introduction.

I think you should consider what Cleo Hogan posted. There are subtleties in this. I admit, I don't understand feeding in situations like this. But he has a lot of experience and is very observant.
I think you should consider what Cleo Hogan posted. There are subtleties in this. I admit, I don't understand feeding in situations like this. But he has a lot of experience and is very observant.
I do plan on following his advice. We have many warm weeks ahead till it gets too cold. Ill stop feeding here in a couple weeks so I have another 6-8 weeks till all the flowers stop blooming. That way they should prepare for winter. I have little to compare my little hive to but I think I have a small population so I think my bigger priority is to stimulate good comb production and brood production. That way they can keep themselves warm in the winter. I think if I get the colony size up then feeding with the sugar board can keep them full all winter long. Let me know if I seem to be taking this in all wrong.
Also does the last couple pics look like the queen? Her head is buried in some comb right there but she was darker and longer than all the rest.
Yes that is your queen. You should be getting some emerging brood soon. If you only have 2 combs drawn now you still have a ways to go. Feeding is funny and I do not know OK, but you have the best chance to draw comb with your emerging brood. For the number of bees in photo they are covering a lot of brood. Push the feed too hard and they will fill comb with stores, too slow and you will not get the most comb. Watch for eggs at all times. It looks like she is still laying the edge of the new comb as it is being drawn. That is good.
Looking good! I love the black queens. I doubt you need to smoke em, should be really nice. I would keep the feed on. When weather turns cooler try to confine the hive as much as possible with a follower board and one open bar for maximum heat retention, the ladies prefer tight spaces. Keep an eye on hive beetles if there bad in your area. A 0.75" diameter hole is plenty for the rest of the year.
What kind of box are they in? top bar?
Good luck, I enjoy watching small hives grow.
Ok a little update on my hive. I have brood hatching and population is climbing. I posted in another thread asking how to correct deformed comb. The bees were building a second bit of comb at a 90 degree angle away from the big bit of comb you see in other pics. On closer inspection this extra bit of comb was only attached at the top bar and not attached to the main portion of comb. So I scraped it off and pinched it onto one of the splines of on of my empty frames and placed that in between my two frames of comb. They seemed to properly attach that to the frame and are building on that too. Here is a comparison pic of when I looked at them last to now:
And the back side.
Here is a quick pic in the hive of the other two starting combs:
Ill take some more pics in another week or two. Things should be starting to speed up now.
Question for the experienced bee keepers out there. Can ants be detrimental to my new hive? Since I have these open feeders ants are getting into my hive. It is not super bad but I can usually count like 10 - 15 individual ants in the hive at any time. Should I be concerned and if so how do I handle this?
Last edited by Arpolis; 09-10-2013 at 08:37 PM.
Here are some new updated pics of the hive. A couple days ago I noticed that the sugar water I had in the hive had been there a long time and the bees were not using it. Not knowing the cause I dumped it, washed out the colored cups and filled with new 1-1 sugar syrup. Man they started to devour it fast! Also after I did that I noticed the bees being much much more active. They are everywhere now rather than all hunkered down and doing nothing in the hive. I feel much better now because for the last couple weeks they haven't produced much comb and have been lack luster. I am a little more confident now we are making progress. Here are the pics I promised.
Why are so many outside on the box? Are they propolising the cracks. You may want make the top fit better and add a meshed ventilation hole if you don't have top ventilation.
NICE ! your on your way. just keep feeding. if it were me I would put them in a 5 frame nuc. and have another 5 frame box ready to go on top for increase. even if they don't make it. I think it is definetly to late for you. I think your HOOKED. also get a substancial amount of feed on them. when im feeding my bees I don't want them to run out. your working against the clock.
thats the way i roll.
Hahaha I can only laugh at your comment. Did you not read my last post and feel my distress and sadness?!? My bees are dead now.
Actually since posting I think I found the answer. I don't think as much brood as I thought has been hatching out. There may have only been one wave of hatched brood now and 90% of that was only on one side of one comb. Last Monday was the 6 week mark from when I captured the hive. And how long do workers live... About 4-6 weeks. I think they died of old age. I may have a few hundred bees left over that are new. I think there is little hope now unless that queen gets her but in gear and just starts laying like mad.
Im not sure the earlier pic wasnt a case of robber bees trying to gain entry. You didnt notice any fighting? I have heard a bad case of robbing can cause mass casualties.
On another site someone did mention that. I actually think that is the more likely culprit of the situation now. When inspecting the dead bees I did notice 3 live ones rolling around and it looked like 2 were attacking the one. There is also not a single drop of honey or polen left in the hive giving this theory a little more credit.
Feeding; inverted jar type feeder works better than pictured. Dry sugar (if that is what I see) does not establish a hive well. works as an immergency but not real well. Jar above the cluster or offset a little lets them at it but protect it. Robbing is harder for them to stop when in a larger box than they can cover. Like nucs!
Hope you give it another try.

Comedian and actor Kenan Thompson has worn many disguises in his two decades doing sketch comedy on TV. As a teenager, he appeared in various roles the Nickelodeon sketch comedy show All That. In 2003, he joined NBC's late-night sketch show Saturday Night Live, where he remains a regular cast member. This October, he'll also be donning several more costumes as the host of the Hub Network's First Annual Halloween Bash. The TV special will bring together kids from all 50 states for a nationwide costume contest judged by celebrity presenters, including Martha Stewart. The winner will receive $25,000 and a chance at a walk-on role on a Hub Network show, R. L. Stine's The Haunting Hour. Enter the contest by September 30, at hubworld.com/halloween.
Thompson spoke with TFK about the TV special, which will air on October 26 and feature a performance by Cody Simpson. Thompson also shared someof his thoughts about Halloween.
The Hub is currently holding a costume contest and there's still some time left to enter. Do you have any advice for creating a great costume?
Be creative! The more effort, the better.
Growing up, did you enjoy celebrating Halloween?
I did. I used to love trick-or-treating.
What was your favorite candy to come home with?
Reece's Pieces and Snickers.
What is your most memorable costume from your childhood?
I dressed up as Mr. T once. I had an Incredible Hulk mask one year, but it was just a plastic half-mask, and it was really sweaty.
What are you looking forward to most about hosting the event?
It's going to be awesome. It's going to be one giant costume ball, a party for kids. That's what I'm looking forward to. Seeing a bunch of smiling little faces.
The contest winner can get a walk-on role on RL Stine's The Haunting Hour. Were you a fan of scary stories and movies as a kid?
Yeah, Are You Afraid of the Dark? used to scare me. The Ghostbusters cartoon used to scare me, too!
What's your favorite scary movie?
I don't know if I have a favorite. You can't put Beetlejuice in a horror category. But I like that movie a lot.
Any comedy tips for kid comedians?
Comedy is all about timing. You have to have good timing with a good joke.
Have you voted in TFK's Halloween costume poll yet? Let us know what you plan to dress up as below.

Yu-Na's Gigelle run-through!! omg so awesome!!!
These are Universal Sports version
Yu-Na's Gigelle run-through!! omg so awesome!!!
These are Universal Sports version
The video of universal sports is not easy to watch so here is the video from SBS.
I don't know which word can explain her awsome performance Actually, I thought she couldn't improve more because she was so perfect in the Olympic. Every athelet has their own best days and in the case of Yuna, her heyday was that olympic season. (Honestly, I thought her heyday was 0809 but she proved that she could do better.)
But She is the strongest now comparing with her whole skating life.
That opening Lutz could not be executed better. She doesn't have to rely on partial credit to win.
I'm not a fan of the music of Giselle even at the ballet, and that puts me off watching Yuna interpret these excerpts. Who did the choreography?
Fantastic. The clip just shows how hard she must have worked on her programs.
Any word from the pairs practice?
Has Mao or any other girl other than Miki and Yuna practised?

BlogAn interview with Felipe Skroski: Designing SilverStripe 3, UI development and the future of content management
4 March 2011 | |Tweet
This year looks like it's going to be an important milestone for SilverStripe. For not only does it mark the 10th anniversary of the company that brought us the CMS, SilverStripe Limited, but it's also the year in which work has begun on the first major release of the system since it's launch in 2007. SilverStripe 3.0 is still very early in its development but it's already looking very promising, potentially offering huge improvements such as versioned assets, a reworked templating system and better separation between the CMS and the underlying framework Sapphire among other things. However probably the most exciting improvement will be a completely new HTML5/jQueryUI admin interface.
The man in charge of designing the new UI is Felipe Skroski, creative director at SilverStripe Limited. With nearly 15 years of experience designing, marketing and project managing for the web, Felipe is well placed to lead the process, so I caught up with him to talk about SilverStripe 3, UI design and the future of content management.Continue reading...

That sure is quick! Install the software on your computer and off you go :D Just ask when you're having problems.
That sure is quick! Install the software on your computer and off you go :D Just ask when you're having problems.
Well I can manage to print off the patterns in my software but the other functions are going to take a while to work out. So far I'm loving it.
Hi, gailkv! Welcome! This is a great group and very beautiful persons!
A hug!
Hello everyone!
I hope that all are very good health and happy!
Not I participate much this week because I was... playing! Hahahaha!
It is that we buy a new dressoir for our home.
In my EQ7 designed a way to protect the lacquered wood and was a week stitching it.
Today I have class so I am about to leave, but I posted a separate thread asking for help and advice to make the quilting on it.
Show them a picture and I give you a big hug!
Hi gailkv. Welcome. I am very behind doing my blocks. I am on week 10. I look forward to seeing your blocks!
Thanks Gladys! I love that runner you made. Playing is good!
Question for those that do EPP. Block B-9 has so many Y seams that I decided to do EPP. I love the precision that happened. I used silk thread to piece it (which is what I use when appliqueing). What thread do you use? If you use cotton, would you be concerned that the silk would deteriorate faster than the cotton? Thanks in advance for your advice. :-)
It's been a busy couple of weeks and I've missed stopping in here. Finally able to look in tonight and, as always, I'm loving all the blocks! Thanks for the nice treat, ladies. :thumbup: I just returned from a short trip, but at least this time I had time to prepare and take some applique blocks with me. I should be able to trim them and post pics this weekend.
Judy, WOW! You sure have been busy! All the bloocks look fantastic. I really like your B-11. It looks more like pink and blue on my screen rather than orange.
On the EPP, I have used both the silk and a cotton thread. I am eager to hear the answer to your question from those who have been doing EPP longer than I.
Gail k v WELCOME to the group. Glad to have more joining in the fun.
Katy Bob. Beautiful blocks and I continue to be amazed at how you are keeping up with the schedule and doing 2 at once to boot!

University of Tennessee "Frackademia" Program Put to Rest, For Now
Steve Horn | September 9, 2013
By Steve Horn • Monday, September 9, 2013 - 14:47
University of Tennessee-Knoxville's "frackademia" program proposal - set to transform UT's Institute of Agriculture into a de facto fracking land leasing agency - has been put to rest for now, according to The Tennesseean. In short: the university's premiere leasing proposal for acreage didn't recieve a single bid.
UT-Knoxville's proposed program - as revealed in a DeSmogBlog investigation - intended to research wells fracked on 8,600 acres of Cumberland Forest land owned by UT that sits on top of the Chattanooga Shale basin. UT-Knoxville would lease the acreage off to Big Oil under the nullified plan.
The proposal called for an initial fee of $300,000 paid by companies interested in fracking, an additional $300,000 per year, 15-percent royalties on any gas sold and a minimum of $35 per acre paid to UT-Knoxville.
"It would create a rare, controlled environment in which experts could study the environmental impact of the controversial drilling technique, while also generating revenue to finance research," explained a March 2013 New York Times article on the proposal.
For now, the "controlled environment" conception serves as merely a prologue, its future at UT-Knoxville - if any at all - still undetermined.
"At this point, I am unsure of the next steps, if any," Kevin Hoyt, Director of UT's Forest Resources AgResearch and Education Center - which manages the Cumberland Forest - said in a press statement. "Those decisions will be up to UT Institute of Agriculture leadership."
It might also be up to other key important players, too: the Haslam family.

A retired writing professor and mother of two daughters, Jessie Grearson got inspiration for these mini tarts from a pineapple-coconut bar that her mother used to make. Her version successfully uses whole-wheat pastry flour and less butter and sugar.
Nutrition Profile:
Diabetes Appropriate
Low Calorie
Low Carb
Low Cholesterol
Low Sodium
Serves 20
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 55 min.
Step 1
To prepare filling: Spoon pineapple into a small saucepan with honey and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
Step 2
To prepare dough: Meanwhile, process almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add confectioners' sugar; process to combine. Add whole-wheat pastry flour and all-purpose flour; process to combine. Drop butter by the tablespoon through the feed tube, processing briefly after each addition. Add oil and pulse once or twice. Add coconut, cornstarch, salt and vanilla and process just until the mixture resembles crumbly, fine meal, but will hold together if pressed.
Step 3
Reserve a scant 1/2 cup of tart dough to use as crumbled topping.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line mini muffin pans with 20 paper cups.
Step 5
Drop a scant tablespoon of dough into each paper cup. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the cup, making a well in the center, to form a miniature crust. Spoon 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of the pineapple filling into each crust and top each with some of the reserved crumbs.
Step 6
Bake until the topping is golden brown and the crust is cooked through (watch carefully toward the end and move the pan to the bottom rack if the top begins to brown before the bottom crust is done), 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pans.

Has your school district ever borrowed money? If the answer is yes, odds are you have participated in the almost $3 trillion municipal bond market. Lenders in this market include investment funds specializing in earning tax-exempt income for investors, investment banks, insurance companies, and high-net-worth individuals. Municipalities and school districts that want to borrow money in this market sell securities.
Securities act as IOUs or promises to repay borrowed money, usually with revenues from real estate taxes. Naturally, interest is charged on the borrowed money and is usually paid quarterly or semiannually. The sale of securities allows school districts to raise either short-term or long-term cash.
In the U.S., securities issued with maturity dates of between two and 10 years are called notes. Those with maturity dates longer than 10 years are called bonds. Some corporations have issued bonds that mature as long as 50 to 100 years into the future.

Speaking Event: The Right Climate For A Saner Diet
Join Paul Shapiro, Vice President, Farm Animal Protection of the Humane Society of the United States, as he discusses "The Right Climate for a Saner Diet."
This Earth Day, with the prospect of meaningful climate change policy from Washington perhaps dim, it's time to recognize the important actions we can each take–every time we sit down to eat. Whether to protect the planet, prevent animal abuse, or improve health, our food choices have enormous power. In this talk, we'll hear why so many people and companies are making a shift toward a more plant-based diet, and how they're doing it.
Shapiro has played an integral role in numerous successful legislative and corporate campaigns to improve the plight of farm animals.
Shapiro's work has helped enact farm animal protection laws in California, Arizona, Michigan, Maine, Colorado, Oregon, and Ohio. He's also worked with dozens of companies, including some of the world's top retailers, to improve animal welfare in their supply chains.

Passion in Pacific Grove
Anton Inn • Pacific Grove, CA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Standard King or Double Queen Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($239) or Fridays and Saturdays ($279)
- Filet and Lobster Dinner for Two with Wine
- Daily Breakfast for Two
- Nightly Wine and Hors d'Oeuvres
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
Rack up the romance points with this Escape to Anton Inn, in picturesque Pacific Grove, about two hours south of San Francisco on the Monterey Peninsula.
You'll get a two-night stay for two, Sundays through Thursdays ($239) or Fridays and Saturdays ($279), in a Standard King or Double Queen Room with blissful bedding, a sparkling tiled bathroom, and cozy fireplace.
Situated on the southern tip of Monterey Bay, your sleek and modern sanctuary is just a heartbeat away from the area's most coveted coastal spots as well as the gorgeous galleries, eclectic shopping, and renowned restaurants in Pacific Grove, Monterey, Pebble Beach, and Carmel.
Rekindling your passion on an empty stomach is never a good bet—start fueling your romance with a fresh breakfast of fruit, bagels, and bread, and warm dishes like pancakes and sausage.
Then pack a picnic and head for Lover's Point, where you can kayak or scuba dive among the kelp forests, surf the reliable waves, and watch the open-air artists sketching the sea-sprayed rocks. It's also a rare east-facing beach where early risers can catch a sunrise on the West Coast.
In the afternoon, return to your our own love nest for a winning combo of wine and hors d'oeuvres—perhaps some delectable bites of cheese, thinly sliced smoked salmon and salami, and juicy tomatoes in balsamic—and relax on the patio.
The evening promises equally romantic splendor: a steak and lobster dinner, plus wine, at a romantic candlelit table for two in the dining room of the inn.
The next day, enjoy world-famous whale watching thanks to Monterey's Submarine Canyon (the ocean's answer to the Grand Canyon) or hike to Jacks Peak in Monterey or Garland Park in Carmel Valley. Golfers will fall head-over-heels for the internationally renowned Pebble Beach Golf Links, while the whole family will adore the underwater wonders at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which draws nearly two million visitors annually with its up-close-and-personal exhibits.
You've hit the romance jackpot with this crush-worthy retreat less than a mile from the water.
"Anton Inn's newly renovated motor-inn exterior, and part beach cottage, part Dwell magazine interiors—think a hip uncle's pad in Provincetown—meld to create an under-the-radar art gallery/inn."-- San Francisco Chronicle
