text: But can you talk about it? You've read your manuals…you've reviewed your flashcards…you've even memorized a whole bunch of muscles…but can you talk about what you know? We've discussed before that the ACE certification exam is a comprehension exam rather than a memorize and regurgitate exam. The exam requires you to take a little bit from Chapter 5 and a little bit from Chapter 7 and maybe a bit from Chapter 2 to answer a specific question. It's up to you as the candidate to figure out how these chapters relate to each other rather than just memorizing each chapter's info by itself. But how do you know when you've made those connections in your head? The short answer is that you can talk about what you know. And by talk I mean explain a topic with more than just a question and answer. So how do you test yourself on this comprehension? Head to Appendix B in your manual where you will find the Exam Content Outline for your program. We've talked about using the Exam Content Outline to focus your studies. Now, we want to talk about how to use the Exam Content Outline at the end of your study period to test your comprehension. For my examples, I am going to use the Exam Content Outline in the ACE 4th edition Personal Trainer manual. But…the information applies to all ACE certification exams. What I'm going to talk about is Domain 1, Task 4 (pg. 671) which states: Conduct appropriate baseline assessments based on the client interview, questionnaire information, and standardized protocols to establish a safe, effective exercise program and to track changes over time. When I talk about this task it sounds like below: "All right…baselines assessments include cardiovascular testing, body composition testing, flexibility and strength/endurance testing. Now, I want to make sure that I am doing the right tests for the client. If I have an older adult client I'm probably going to do a walking test, maybe a field test, rather than a step or bike test because it will be more accurate and provide a more positive testing experience. When doing body composition I will choose to do skinfold testing because although underwater weighing is the most accurate method, I don't have the tank to do that. Now, older adults tend to have a higher percent body fat, because they have a lower muscle mass so I need to keep that in mind. Also, BMI is going to be an easy one to do, but it isn't going to be as accurate because it isn't measuring fat/fat free mass, just height and weight. I could do circumference measurements – this would be an easy pre-test/post-test comparison. This tracking how a client improves is important because it allows us to objectively measure their success. Tracking also lets us see what isn't working so we can change it. And…" I could go on for a while, but you get what I am saying. If you can look at a task and just talk about it, talk about the why and how come and the concerns, this is a sign that you comprehend how the material fits together. If you come across a task and you think to yourself, I don't have any idea what they are talking about here, then that is a sign you may need to go back and study that concept/topic a little bit more. One thing to keep in mind as you are looking at your Exam Content Outline – just focus on the Tasks. Ignore the Knowledge of: and the Skills in: information unless you need some hints regarding what you should talk about. The bold tasks are what you want to be able to talk about. Once you feel comfortable discussing (not just answering) the tasks listed for each domain, you are on your way to better comprehension. I'd recommend starting this type of comprehension review in the last several weeks of your study. Consider it a chance to see where you should spend your final study hours. Questions?

President Bush Announces 2003 Teacher of the Year
President Bush recently named an elementary school teacher from rural Alabama as the 2003 Teacher of the Year during a ceremony in the First Lady's Garden at the White House.
Helen Elizabeth Dawson Rogers, who teaches first and second grades at Leeds Elementary School in Leeds, Ala., was hailed by the president as "an example of the highest professional standards and the finest personal qualities" for her 22 years of service in rural underprivileged schools. Mrs. Bush and Secretary Paige joined the president for the announcement, which also recognized 54 Teachers of the Year from all states and territories.
"When I was campaigning for president, I used to say one of the commitments I would make is to challenge the soft bigotry of low expectations," President Bush said. "You all have challenged the soft bigotry by setting high standards. You believed in the worth of every child. A good teacher believes in the possibilities of every boy and girl. A good teacher sees what is possible, and a good teacher believes in the responsibility of every school to bring out the best in every student."
The complete text of the president's remarks is available at www.ed.gov/Speeches/04-2003/04302003.html.
Preventing Summer Reading Loss During Summer Break
By John Schacter
During summer vacation, children who are economically disadvantaged experience reading achievement declines, while attainment for children from middle- and high-income backgrounds improves. Summer reading loss occurs because disadvantaged children spend their break in neighborhoods that lack academic and culturally enriching resources. They visit few museums, often do not play organized sports and make infrequent trips to the public library. In addition, disadvantaged children are much more likely than their advantaged counterparts to live in households with a scarcity of books, magazines and other print materials. All of these conditions contribute to the fact that summer for disadvantaged children is often an academically and culturally lean time.
For years school districts have sent children to summer school believing that this intervention would result in increased reading and mathematics achievement. Yet, five independent reviews of the research indicate that the effects of summer school on disadvantaged students' achievement levels are negligible. For example, the majority of students attending New York's 2001 summer school programs did not pass their end-of-course exams, and 60 percent failed to improve at all. In Boston, 66 percent of the students required to attend summer school did not post reading or math achievement gains.
|"All of us want to live in a country where our legacy to the world is how we've taken care of our children."
2003 Teacher of the Year, Helen Elizabeth Dawson Rogers, of Leeds, Ala., in her remarks at a White House ceremony in her honor.
In 2000, the Milken Family Foundation developed an eight-week reading summer day camp intervention where first-grade children who were disadvantaged attended reading camp instead of summer school. Within this summer camp context, credentialed teachers taught children to read for two hours a day, and the remaining five hours were dedicated to "fun." The camp's first-graders played organized sports, swam, and engaged in art, dance and music. Each week, they went on field trips to museums, aquariums and cultural centers throughout Los Angeles. Our results, published in peer-review journals, demonstrate that children who attended the Milken Family Foundation's Read to Achieve Summer Day Camp outperformed control group students by more than 25 percentile points at the end of the summer. More impressive was the fact that they retained this difference one year later. Below are five steps that helped to build our program and can be implemented in schools and communities across America.
1. Implement a research-based reading curriculum. Three large-scale reviews of kindergarten to third-grade reading research have demonstrated that the following five instructional elements lead to increases in young children's reading achievement: (1) explicit phonemic awareness instruction, (2) explicit systematic phonics instruction, (3) guided repeated oral reading, (4) direct and indirect vocabulary instruction, and (5) explicit teaching of comprehension skills.
2. Start early. Most summer school programs across the country start too late in the child's academic career (e.g., third grade). Even the most gifted teachers cannot remediate four years of reading in four to six weeks. Researchers have established that reading interventions during the summers after kindergarten and first grade produce the most successful and lasting results. This finding is especially important because 88 percent of children who are poor readers in first grade will be classified as poor readers in the fourth grade if no intervention is provided.
3. Make summer learning fun. In summer school, children are forced to work for four hours a day on academic tasks that most fail to even grasp during the school year. We showed that changing the learning context from summer school to summer camp could go a long way in changing children's attitudes towards learning and reading achievement.
|Please Note:
We will take a break for the summer and resume publication with our Sept. 1, 2003, issue. As we plan for the next school year, we welcome your comments on how we can continue to improve The Achiever to meet your needs.
4. Intervene for eight weeks instead of four. Most summer schools are four or six weeks. This is too short of a time to develop consistency and make headway with young learners. By introducing an eight-week program, you limit the time disadvantaged children are away from a constructive learning environment. You also allow time for teachers to establish the scope and sequence of skills they want to teach as well as develop performance expectations for each student before they exit.
5. Tutor summer learners the following school year. Do not stop working with students who need it most just because they are back in school. Linking summer reading camp students with volunteer college work-study students or AmeriCorps tutors is a wonderful and extremely inexpensive way to continue to provide reading instruction. Training and monitoring reading tutors to implement effective one-on-one tutoring for one hour per week not only can sustain the summer reading achievement gains but also can improve them.
John Schacter, Ph.D., is vice president of research at the Milken Family Foundation. His research of the Read to Achieve Summer Day Camp was funded by the U.S. Department of Education and the Milken Family Foundation. For a full version of his research, visit www.mff.org.
Close-Up: No Child Left Behind:Teaching American History
Secretary Paige has announced that nearly $100 million in Teaching American History grants is available and has urged local school districts, including charter school districts, to apply for funding.
The strength of a nation begins in the classroom, and if you cannot read, then you cannot learn historyor grasp what it means to be a citizen," Secretary Paige said at the May 1 We the People Forum on American History, Civics and Service. The forum is part of the Bush administration's ongoing efforts to find ways government can support the teaching of American history and the democratic traditions of the United States. The forum was co-hosted by the U.S. Department of Education, the Corporation for National and Community Service and the National Endowment for the Humanities with the USA Freedom Corps.
More than half of high school seniors thought that Italy, Germany or Japan was a U.S. ally in World War II. According to a 2001 national sampling of 12th-graders, 24 percent answered "Italy"; 19 percent, "Germany"; 9 percent, "Japan." The other half48 percentcorrectly answered "the Soviet Union.
Source: National Center for Education Statistics, The Nation's Report Card: U.S. History 2001.
The Teaching American History program supports student achievement by improving teachers' knowledge, understanding and appreciation of American history through intensive ongoing professional development.
Statistics show that only 16 percent of fourth-graders, 15 percent of eighth-graders, and 10 percent of 12th-graders scored proficient on U.S. history assessments. In addition, more than half of 12th-grade students did not reach the basic level.
In addition to raising student achievement in history, the program promotes development as a citizen. It is based on the premise that students who know and appreciate American history will be well prepared to understand and exercise their civic rights and responsibilities. The program also focuses on giving teachers strong content knowledge to teach students effectively about the significant issues, episodes, individuals and turning points in the history of the United States.
The program is a direct federal-to-local discretionary grant that funds school districts that partner with institutions with extensive content expertise in American history, such as libraries, museums, nonprofit history or humanities organizations and higher education institutions. Partnerships should develop and carry out programs that promote the teaching of American history as an academic subject separate from social studies.
School districts or charter schools that operate as local education agencies with enrollments of fewer than 300,000 students are eligible for grants ranging from $350,000 to $1 million. School districts with more than 300,000 students are eligible for grants ranging between $500,000 and $2 million.
The Teaching American History application package is in the May 6 Federal Register, which is online at www.ed.gov/legislation/FedRegister/announcements/2003-2/050603b.pdf. The application deadline is July 7.

The bees have mites, but new to this, I don't know how long they've had it. There are few mites but some bees have deformed wings. I saw a bee today being taken out of the hive that was pale and weak.
I added patties last week. I gave them herbal teas with honey today, and I prepared sugar water spray with wintergreen in it to spray on the bees at the hive.
I pasted a thin coating of vicks salve on poster board and slid it in the hive entrance.
Could someone explain to me what to expect next?
I'm feeling sad about this.

Sufism / Islam
The boundary between Islam and the mystical tradition of Sufism is notoriously hard to draw, and Sufism itself is nearly impossible to define—as any scholar of it will tell you. So we've decided not to worry about it, but simply to share some of its more wonderful expressions: its teachings, its philosophy, its music, and especially its sublime and thrilling poetry.

The Cabinet has delayed its decision on what to do next in the David Bain compensation claim at his request, Justice Minister Judith Collins said today.
Mr Bain has applied the High Court at Auckland for a judicial review of Ms Collins' decision to reject the report and recommendation of Canadian and former Supreme Court judge Ian Binnie.
Ms Collins had been preparing to take an options paper to today's cabinet meeting.
But after the application was made last week, she has delayed it.
"Cabinet has agreed to put Mr Bain's application on hold, as he has requested," she said.
"Mr Bain has filed judicial review proceedings which will lead to further delay."
Mr Bain was acquitted of the 1994 murders of his parents, two sisters and a brother after serving 13 years in prison.
He has applied for compensation for wrongful imprisonment.
Ms Collins pointed out again today that such payments are at the discretion of the cabinet and that Mr Bain's case falls outside the cabinet guidelines for approval.

An abundance of acorns. Wooly caterpillars that are all black. The number of foggy August mornings. All of the preceding are old wives' tales that supposedly predict winter's severity. While I put some stock in weather lore, I always wonder why there's no similar "forecasting" for what summer is going to be like. Here's my strategy for predicting whether it will be a blistering hot summer – I plan on it. That way, if the summer is mild, I'm pleasantly surprised, and if it's crazy hot, I'm already prepared.
Everyone around here always talks about getting "winter-ready" but you never hear people making plans to be "summer-ready." Our local old timers say we haven't had any "real" winters since the '50s and '60s. Back then, the snows were so deep they'd chain half a dozen farm tractors together in a line to try and bust through the drifts and clear the dirt roads. Winter or summer, I like to be ready for anything Mother Nature might throw my way. And for me, being ready starts with my family's vehicles – particularly the 4×4 truck and tractor. Without them, I'm not going anywhere or getting anything done.
One of my favorite things to do on a beautiful spring Sunday afternoon is a car tune up while I listen to a race on the radio because I follow the NASCAR standings pretty closely. This is a way I can do both – keep track of my favorite NASCAR teams and drivers while getting get a jump on summer's heat. My spring car tune up includes an auto battery testing and gives me peace of mind that my vehicles are going to perform when I need them. I'm not talking anything too complicated for most do-it-yourselfers. Here's my list of tune up "must do's" before summer.
- Oil change
- Test coolant strength
- Fill windshield wiper fluid reservoir with Rain-X Bug Remover Windshield Washer Fluid
- Auto battery testing
- Check belt and hose condition
- Tire tread depth and inflation pressure
- Check all fluid levels
- Emergency kit in the car
- Replace windshield wipers if six months old or older
While it's still early in the season, even if my favorite driver doesn't end the year on top of the NASCAR standings, at least these vehicle preparations give me the confidence I need going into summer driving.
Editor's note: Summer's heat is tough on car batteries. Make it easy on yourself by having Advance Auto Parts test your battery for free. We also offer free battery and wiper installation with purchase. Most vehicles, most locations.

Reviews of this property
We have had a very nice time in Paris.
The Apartment has the original atmosphere in the hart of Montmatre
We vil love to come back :)
Very nice appartment. Is is clean and comfortable. It is better for 2 than 4 people, but for 2 nights it was ok for my family (with 2 kids). Location was perfect so close to place du tetre and sacre coeur. Nicola is a good host!
The only thing we didn't like were the the youngsters that were sitting on the sofa for the front door of the appartment every evening which gave us a quite unsafe feeling.
The flat was as good as the pictures, perfectly placed in the neighbourghood. Very easy to get to the rest of Paris with bus or metro. We were a family of four and had enough room. We hope to return to the flat and Paris soon. Sincerly the Chemnitz family
Nice small appartment, nicely located near Sacre coeur and metro. The entrance of the appartment building is welcoming and had a pleasant feel. When you enter the apparent you feel even more pleasant, probably because of many windows (light), wooden floor and the furniture. The view over the insight garden and the quietness of the location make it a good place to relax. And everything we needed except a cloth for drying the dishes was there.
IT is a Nice appartment, but very small. The toilet is only for people smaller than 1.75. The host is someone we didn't see. The appartment wasn't clean. The laundry from the gast before us, was laying in the kitchen in a bag. The washing machine was on with blankets and it was in the machine till we left. The questions we have to the host where answered after two days.
lovely small aparment at the bottom of Montmartre.
Nicola is a very nice host, very friendly and always available if you have problems.
It's a very nice place to stay in paris.
At night it is very calm and nothing is disturbing you from sleeping. At day there are some builders working at next door, but we where out on a sightseeing, when they started (at about 08.30).
You reach everything within minutes (Metro Busses,etc.)
Nicola is very friendly and very helpful.
He has designed the apartment very clever so that you have everything you need. Advisable place for up to three persons!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Well, I have never shot a SIg, but I have had other DA/SA guns. I do have a compact USP 9mm, and I had a fullsize USP 9mm up until last week. I bought a new gun, and had to pay for it somehow, so I sold the fullsize USP (I like the compact better, because the grip is thinner, so I kept that one).
It was a little bit too big for my hands. But, I also find the Sig to be a bit too big. Both are good guns, and if they fit your hand, either would be a good choice.
One thing I like about the USP is the frame mounted safety - that's why I bought them. I like being able to keep the gun cocked and locked (gun cocked w/ the safety on). Only frame mounted safeties really work well for this. The Sig will not be able to do this.
Both guns are both pretty expensive, and the mags are about the same cost (the Sig mags may be a bit more expensive, not sure).
U'll have to see which fits your hand the best - I have Walthers and that HK compact - I LOVE the mag release underneath the trigger guard. I find it so much easier than the standard button release (only gun I have w/ that kinda mag release is my Glock 34). Some people have a hard time transitioning to this type of mag release, but once ya do - it is SO much easier.

CSCO: FIRE Buy at 'Outrageous Premium' Sparks Deal Speculation
The Street today is abuzz over the announcement this morning by Cisco Systems (CSCO) that it will purchase networking security technology vendor Sourcefire (FIRE) for $2.7 billion, or $76 a share, a 29% premium to yesterday's close.
Analysts are intrigued, but also a little surprised at the size of the deal. There's some grumbling about the high price -- a 78 times multiple of projected earnings. And there's lots of interest in how it can prompt follow-on deals to buy peers such as Fortinet (FTNT), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), and perhaps even industry giant Check Point Software Technology (CHKP).
Shares of Sourcefire are just under the bid price at $75.51, while shares of Fortinet are up 88 cents, or 4%, at $21.32. Shares of Palo Alto are down 92 cents, or 1.9%, at$48.63, and Check Point is off $1.01, or 1.8%, at $54.11.
Jayson Noland, R.W. Baird: Reiterates an Outperform rating on Cisco shares, and a $28 price target. "Cisco believes that Sourcefire will enhance its overall security portfolio, by adding best-in-class IDP, as well as solutions such as advanced malware protection, next-generation firewalls, and virtual products. We concur though point out that this acquisition creates challenges to Cisco's argument of a holistic and highly integrated network security portfolio [...] We view this acquisition as a positive for other best-of-breed network security companies as large tech players such as IBM, ORCL, etc. may be considering acquisitions in this category also. Longer-term, we note Cisco could prove to be a stronger competitor assuming well-executed integration. Management also implied that it would continue to acquire as needed to further its security strategy."
Kevin Dennean, Citigroup: Reiterates a Buy rating on Cisco and a $26 price target. "At 8.9x consensus NTM sales and 76x consensus NTM EPS, valuation appears a bit rich to us. While we recognize the strategic importance of security and that Cisco in the past had discussed the need to increase pace of acquisitions, we are nonetheless a bit surprised by the size of this transaction. We would have expected smaller, more technology-focused tuck in deals. At RSA in February 2013, Cisco reiterated the company's focus on security but seemed to dismiss the idea that big M&A would be a part of their strategy in this space which is inconsistent with today's announcement. We believe integration risk is fairly low given Cisco's track record. Importantly, we do not believe this de-rails Cisco's dividend strategy and believe the company will continue to see strong cash generation and the ability to repatriate cash at fairly low rate."
Brian White, Topeka Capital Markets: Reiterates a Buy rating and a $29 price target. "Cisco's Security sales are at an annualized run rate of $1.3 billion as of 3QFY13 and well above the $223.1 million (up 35%) in 2012 sales at Sourcefire; however, Cisco believes the addition of Sourcefire will expand the Company's security reach with next generation technologies [...] On the call, Cisco outlined its objective of becoming the leading security partner for its customers and moving toward its "aspirational goal" of becoming the #1 security company. Clearly, Cisco is taking security more serious than ever as the proliferation of the mobile Internet and cloud computing is driving the need for next generation security technologies, while market transitions are presenting new opportunities [...] While Cisco and Sourcefire have overlap across the IDS and IPS portfolio, Cisco believes next generation IPS technologies from Sourcefire will help the combined company to offer better solutions for customers."
Mark McKechnie, Evercore Partners: Reiterates an Equal Weight rating on shares of Cisco, and a $26 price target. "We view CSCO's acquisition as a reminder of the strategic importance of security to CSCO's customer base with asymmetric risk of a high-profile security breech central to the minds of enterprise, data center and carrier professionals [...] Juniper Networks's (JNPR) security business (12.6% of CY13E sales) has been challenged – we view CSCO's purchase of FIRE as a threat to JNPR's ability to make the transition. We also believeBBRY's legacy hold on BYOD security which faces challenges from third-party MDM players such as AirWatch, Mobile Iron, and Citrix (Zenprise) is further threatened by an increased focus by CSCO in security."
Dave Novosel, Gimme Credit: Reiterates a "Stable" rating on Cisco's debt. "based on the minimal EBITDA that Sourcefire generates, Cisco is paying an outrageous premium for the company. Many have argued that Cisco has often paid more dearly than necessary for its transactions. On the other hand, Cisco produces free cash flow of more than $8 billion annually, so a deal of this size will not have a significant impact on the credit profile when viewed in isolation. However, the company has been very aggressive with share repurchases in recent years, buying back more than $11.5 billion in fiscal 2012 and 2011. The hefty buybacks and acquisition spending caused leverage to increase to 1.7x at the end of fiscal 2011. However, leverage has receded back to 1.2x since then. We expect more of these types of deals. The risk is that Cisco embarks on huge share repurchases at the same tine."

|Unleashing God's Truth, One Verse at a Time
For our next series, we'd like to piggy-back on John's YRR posts to address an assumption that comes up often in discussions about the gospel, evangelism, and church planting. The assumption comes across in statements like this: "You've got to engage the culture to reach the culture. If you hope to reach your culture for the gospel, you've got to become all things to all people." The oft-repeated refrain comes from 1 Corinthians 9:22: "I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some."
So, for the next couple of weeks, we've spooled up a series of posts from John MacArthur's book, Ashamed of the Gospel. It's a detailed treatment of 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 that should set the record straight about what Paul really meant by "I have become all things to all people."
Since all of us will be tied up with the Truth Matters conference, we'll have the comments turned off for this series to allow us time to focus on other responsibilities. You can click here to join us on the live stream, or you can wait until we post the messages sometime after the conference.
In the meantime, have a listen to this excellent message by Thabiti Anyabwile at last year's T4G; it's a thoughtful, passionate, and timely warning about engaging the culture.

Sir Paul McCartney is writing a track for a computer game as he thinks it is the best way to reach young people with his music.
The Beatles legend is excited to be working on the music for the as-yet unnamed game, as it is a "fascinating market" and a good way of getting his music heard by a younger generation.
He told German newspaper Die Zelt: "That is the song I am working myself to death with at the moment.
"I was asked whether I could imagine doing something like this, and I found it exciting. Besides, it is a fascinating market. These days a new computer game sells much better than a CD. And you reach an entirely different target group. This way many young people will probably listen to my music for the first time while playing a videogame."
While Paul, 69, is keen on embracing new technology to present his material, he is still a traditionalist when it comes to writing new songs, such as Valentine, one of the two new tracks included on his latest album Kisses from the Bottom.
He explained: "I wrote it during my holiday. To be more precise, in the hotel's lobby. There was an abandoned piano in the lounge, it was an afternoon after lunch, all the guests were away, the staff were cleaning.
"I sat down in front of the piano and started playing randomly. I had the melody and most of the text after one and a half hours."
McCartney praises his dad James - a keen amateur piano player - for introducing him to music growing up in Liverpool when the family had to make their own entertainment.
He explained to Culture magazine: "My first musical memories come from my dad. He would play the piano at home - he and his friend Freddie Rimmer, both of whom worked at the cotton exchange in Liverpool as salesmen. This was the old days, you know. We made our own entertainment because we didn't have anything else. And those old memories for me are of my dad playing the piano. I would lie on the carpet listening to him and taking it all in."
Paul revealed his father's influence stayed with him as he and John Lennon began writing for the Beatles.
He said: "A lot of what informed the writing I did with John is that early period, and John and I shared that. When we started to talk about that music, John would say 'Oh I love such and such a song.' We didn't like rock'n'roll solely. And I think now if you look at the Beatles body of work it was sort of rock'n'roll informed by this back plot from this complete other era."
Kisses from the Bottom is released on February 7.

Oct 8, 2012 at 10:05 pm #1294818
David W.BPL Member
@davidpcvsamoaLocale: East Bay, CA
Dates: October 4-7, 2012
Location: Yosemite NP
Trailhead: Cathedral Lakes
Temperature: Low 20s to low 60s
October 4 – After putting in a full day at the office, Mark and his brother Rick arrived at my home to begin an autumn adventure in Yosemite National Park. We had dinner at a restaurant in Oakdale where the poor waitress was clueless about Rick's request for a glass of Zinfandel. She brought out white zin and then two other white wines before getting it right. Rick got two glasses on the house and slept well that night. We continued up CA 120 and pulled off to sleep. Our plan was to camp in the National Forest outside the park on Thursday evening and make our way to the permit station early in the morning.
October 5 – We got up around 6:30 and enjoyed the scenic drive to Tuolumne Meadows. Our timing was ideal as we arrived at the permit station just as it was opening. The air was brisk and I could feel fall coming on with a chill in my bones. After passed the inquisition by the Ranger we were handed our permit and drove to the Cathedral Lakes trailhead to enjoy some breakfast and begin our hike. The plan was to hike to Budd Lake where we would meet up with Jacob who was driving up the same morning. The trail to Budd Lake was easy to spot off of the main trail. The climb was gentle but enough to remind my lungs that I was at 9k feet. We quickly approached the east side of Cathedral Peak and enjoyed a group of four climbers tackling the eastern face. Shortly after we reached Budd Lake, enjoyed some lunch and waited for Jacob to arrive. Jacob arrived right on cue and we continued by climbing around Echo Peak towards Echo Lake and Matthes Lake. The group discussed staying high and traveling east to Matthes Lake or dropping down to Echo Lake and taking the more conservative route to reach Matthes Lake. Since we only had a few hours of daylight left, we agreed to take the conservative route. This decision also afforded us the opportunity to check out Echo Lake up close. We passed Echo Lake and climbed into the slot to the east that contained Matthes Lake. We found a nice spot to toss out bivies and tarps for the night. After setting up, Rick and I did some fishing in the lake while Jacob photographed an amazing sunset on Matthes Crest. There is something special about the sunsets in fall that seem to make them that much more colorful and radiant. Rick hooked one fish with a traditional fly rod while I struck out with my Tenkara (and limited skill). After a quick dinner and chat we retired to the warmth our quilts and bags. Although it dropped into the low 20s, we all stayed warm in our various setups.
October 6 – Jacob and I woke up with the sunrise sometime around 6:30. Marc and Rick are early risers and had already packed up. As we cooked breakfast, we had a hard time keeping the water in our bottles and reservoirs from freezing solid. The thought of tea or coffee was about the only thing that kept me from crawling back into my quilt and waiting for the sun to warm my bones. Once the sun rose over the peaks, it warmed quickly and we were able to de-ice our joints and get in motion. We hadn't decided what our plan for the rest of the trip would entail. After tossing out various ideas, the group agreed to travel to Nelson Lake and on to Reymann Lake where we would spend the night. The trip to Nelson Lake gave us all an opportunity to practice our route-finding. After a few rock scrambles and taking directions from "Captin Wrong-way" (Rick) we made it to Nelson Lake. The group enjoyed a leisurely lunch and headed northeast towards Reymann Lake. Although it was only a little after noon, we decided to stop at Reymann Lake for the day. On a solo trip I might have pressed on to cover more miles and see more of the area but I was appreciative of the opportunity to slow down and enjoy an amazing spot with excellent company. The afternoon was spent fishing, talking, cleaning up, snacking, setting up for the nights sleep and napping. Marc, Jacob and I ate dinner while Rick fished the lake hard. His efforts were rewards with a small brookie after more than an hour of fishing. The sunset on the lake and surrounding peaks was one of the most stunning I can remember.
October 7 – We got up the next morning and hiked east towards the Rafferty Creek trail. We quickly reached the trail and found the walk back to Tuolumne Meadows a bit anticlimactic after two days of cross-country travel. My mind could shut off and my feet only had to follow the warn down trail and piles of horse manure back to the trailhead. We reached the car and cruised down the hill to meet at Priest Grade Road for post hike meal and beer.
Mission accomplished. We were all pleased to beat the first winter storm and get in a memorable late season trip in Yosemite. It is a great time to visit the park since the crowds have disappeared and the park facilities have mostly shut down. Marc, Jacob and Rick were all great company and pleasure to hike with. This was my first trip through the east side of the Cathedral Range and I would recommend it as a good introductory cross-country trip. I look forward to Marc and Jacob's photos…Oct 8, 2012 at 10:23 pm #1919421

That's a great area, isn't it?
I was just in there with a friend two weeks ago, except that we started from the Elizabeth Lake Trailhead, went to Reymann, Nelson, Matthes, and Echo Lakes, but with an added side trip to Fletcher Lake.
Yes, it is getting to that time of season when there isn't much water flowing in the streams, but what water you do get will freeze before dawn. It is also an excellent place for beginner land navigators to practice their map reading and compass bearings.

Nice trip guys!
How did you get from Matthes to Nelson? Did you go over that saddle due E of Matthes? Or did you go through the grassy ramps to the south down to Echo Creek?Oct 9, 2012 at 11:24 am #1919531
Andrew, we went over the saddle. The creek drainage would have been a little longer, but looking at it, more gradual uphill hike with less map referencing.Oct 9, 2012 at 11:45 am #1919535
This was a short, but really outstanding trip. I got my gear and food together last minute after figuring out I could get away for a few days. Upon entering the park it donned on me that I forgot to pack a) my spoon, b) sun block, and c) my pants. This was going to be roughing it for sure :)
The plan David proposed was to take the climber's trail to Budd lake where I would meet up with him, Marc, and Rick. From there we'd head cross-country to Matthes Lake and figure the rest out at that point.
The climber's trail was easier found than I had expected. After not too long the trail turned to granite and I lost and found it several times, then, finally lost it for good but the creek drainage and other landmarks made the way obvious enough.
Hiking solo, even short distance is always exhilarating. I saw a lot of wild life including a sasquatch and two chupacabras all of which accosted me in attempt to raid my food stash, but I fought them off with my triple purpose potty trowel. The ergonomics of my camera are very poor so I was unable to photograph them, sadly. Later on I managed to find the trail again, just before reaching the lake.
As I came over the horizon there was Budd lake and David, Marc, and Rick waving me in as if they knew I was going to be there at that moment. Maybe they heard me belting out some Dio on the approach.
Anyway, it took me about 1 1/2 hours to cover the ~ 2.5 miles which ascended from 8,500 to 10,000 ft. Not having done much hiking at significant elevation this year I wasn't exactly feeling strong but hoping I would acclimate quickly. After a break we discussed the route to Matthes and headed out.
Marc and David taking the lead
Panoramic view looking back (Northwest) toward Tuolumne Meadows
We crossed a bench at ~10,400 ft. from which we scoped a good lay of the land. After assessing it we headed down toward Echo Lake.
Passing Echo Lake. Captain Wrong Way shows us where to go
On our way we decided to hug the profile of the ridgeline instead of finding the drainage and following it to the lake. It saved some time and soon enough we arrived at Matthes Lake. The mileage for the day was just right around 6. We figured we'd head past Nelson lake to Reymann lake tomorrow.
The sunset over Matthes lake that evening was unreal. One of the most intense I've ever seen; everything was painted pink. Unfortunately I was a bit tired and not in the right state of mind to capture it well. There were probably half a dozen better vantage points from a photographic perspective, but I was so in awe of it that I sorta spaced out.
That night was a cold one. We estimated mid-twenties. I downed some ibuprofen for my headache and konked out. Felt much better in the morning despite everything being frigid outside.
I carried a new Gorilla pack (on loan from GG, review at Hike It. Like It. forthcoming)
Once the sun warmed us up we got moving and headed towards Nelson Lake. Just over the first ridgeline the views were expansive again. We initially planned to follow the contours to the lake drainage, but somehow decided to head over a saddle and save some time. It didn't work out quite as slick this time. After some rock scrambling and PUDS we made it to the lake – which was absolutely beautiful. We ate lunch. I soaked my feets. The water was pleasant.
Rick: "Just climb up this mossy, gnarly granite face and hope your gum soles work!"
Crossing the meadow, ready to climb up towards Reymann Lake
Marc and Rick taking some pics
After yet another short steep climb we come upon Reymann Lake, more great views and dramatic landscape. Although the hike has only been ~ 4 miles, we'll camp here tonight. We hadn't really come up with a plan to go further Southeast while staying away from the trails, although with my elevation woes well behind me I felt like I could have gone a full day, no problem. Taking a nap won out I guess.
Marc sets up his MLD Duomid, both he and Rick decided to just bivy that night
Sunset once again turned out to be amazing. The clouds were incredible!!
Sunset looking East over Reymann Lake
Sunset looking West from Reymann Lake
The night was cool and clear, and completely calm. We pounded whiskey hard then passed out. Not really. I brought half a liter which we shared after dinner. Enjoyed the stars for a while then called it a night.
The trip was a blast. I was feeling strong and ready to work after just a day; I wish I had found the time to be up there more this year and put in some miles. David, Marc, and Rick made for great hiking partners and lively conversation. I'm looking forward to hiking with you guys again soon!Oct 9, 2012 at 12:01 pm #1919544

"Rick: "Just climb up this mossy, gnarly granite face and hope your gum soles work!" "
When I went through the same place two weeks ago, I was headed in the opposite direction, so I was trying to edge across the sloping face of that stuff. Once I got a feel for it, there were enough chickenheads in the granite texture, so it worked.

Great report, guys.
@Jacob- You took so many amazing photos on that trip it's hard to pick favorites, though the sunset is one standout. In general, I really liked the textures you were able to achieve on the rock faces, and of course the skyscapes. I've been trying to educate myself on photography lately and in the process came across your blog and some of your posts on NEX lens impressions. Would you mind commenting on which lenses you used in these photos and what worked for you.Oct 9, 2012 at 1:11 pm #1919557
@bob – yeah coming down that stuff is less fun. We did some of that too. All in all it was wasn't too big a deal, but I think all of us were being careful not to take a fall.
@ike – Thanks man. The landscape and skies up there are inspiring to be sure. I used a NEX 5N + CV15, CV35/2.5, CV40, CV90 (all manual focus) adapted with an M to E mount adapter (Leica to NEX). I can fit 3 of the lenses plus a couple filters, spare battery, and remote into the hipbelt pockets of most backpacks, with the camera and one lens on my carry strap. That info is no doubt buried deep somewhere in the pages of the thread you mentioned.
On this trip I mostly used the 15mm. I share my images on another site or two, and they're meant to be viewed at 1024 or 1600 pixels wide; they get a little crunchy at this size. A few of these are multiple image shots (stitched together with software) that are over 40 megapixels in size. I shoot RAW and process everything in Lightroom. If you need more info I'm happy to share; feel free to drop me a PM, email, or comment form on the bloggy blog.Oct 9, 2012 at 2:33 pm #1919572

Howdy all!
Going on a trip to Omaha........does anyone know of quilt shops in the area?
I have a daughter who has lived there for 14 years, but I only visit a few times a year, so am not familiar with locals that are not JoAnne or Hancock or Michael's. Maybe someone else can help.
I am assuming you mean Omaha Nebraska, not Omaha Arkansas?????--------------Yes, there IS an Omaha Arkansas!
Here's the google listing.
www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=quilt+shops+in+omaha+nebraska&a q=0&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=quilt+shops+in+O&gs_rfai=ChrfR UgwxTJyhL4_sM9rxvIoCAAAAqgQFT9BEZ7c&fp=c401d881a5f f002f
Hello, I've been in Omaha for about two months now for work and will be here for four more weeks before I go back home, well, I have visited a few of the quilt shops here, my favorite is the Country Sampler in Papillion, NE. Nice selection and great customer service. The original Country Sampler is in Omaha, it is bigger with even more selection, but staff are not as nice or helpful in my opinion. Here is a link to the addresses on the website http://www.countrysampleronline.com/contact_us.html
The other one I liked is Log Cabin Quilt Shop, again a nice selection and helpful owner. Here is a link to the address
Also Joann and Hancock are very close to one another off Center St.

This is a sample written program whose intended usage is to serve only as a convenient guide for obtaining compliance with the applicable OSHA standard. It should be expanded, personalized, and tailored to your companies, places of business, or work sites.
This publication does not itself alter or determine compliance responsibilities, which are set forth in OSHA standards themselves and in the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Moreover, because interpretations and enforcement policy may change over time, for additional guidance on OSHA Compliance requirements, the reader should consult current administrative interpretations and decisions by the Occupation Safety and Health Review commission and the Courts.
Find a section fast:
The purpose of an Emergency Action Plan is to protect the employees from serious injury, property loss, or loss of life in the event of a major disaster. A major disaster constitutes any one (1) of the following: fire - tornado - earthquake - violence in the workplace - bomb threat - hazardous chemical spill.
In the event of any disaster listed, this Emergency Action Plan describes the responsibilities and actions to be taken to protect all employees.
In the event of a disaster, the warning may come from any one (1) of the following sources: commercial radio or television, civil defense radio, in-plant automatic sprinkler system, in-plant alarm, messenger, or police.
A person receiving notification of a possible disaster, or an in-plant emergency should immediately notify their immediate supervisor. The type of disaster or emergency situation should then be conveyed to all employees with the use of the plant emergency alarm system.
The following personnel will constitute the Emergency Control Committee. In the event of a disaster or immediate emergency, they are to report to a designated emergency Control Center unless the prevailing situation dictates otherwise.
Committee members are:
In any emergency situation, the ranking member of management present shall have final authority to coordinate procedures, and amend, modify or supersede any provisions of this plan in order to ensure employee safety.
Emergency actions should be coordinated at the Emergency Control Center, which will be designated as the plant manager's office. If this office is not available, report to the most convenient office of the other two (2) committee members.
If the emergency situation warrants the committee members to meet on the plant floor, it will be the plant manager's responsibility to notify, and give the location where members are needed.
All first-line supervisors have been certified by the American Red Cross to provide first aid. They will be available to administer first aid in the plant, or in the event of a complete evacuation at a safe assembly area outside the plant.
All maintenance personnel will know the location and operation of main controls for shutting off the gas, electricity, and water leading into the building.
Information to any source of news media will only be released at the discretion of the plant manager.
In the event of a fire, the ADT Sprinkler Alarms System will be activated automatically. Upon activation, the flow of water will begin in the area of the fire, and an alarm will sound throughout the building. Upon hearing the alarm, employees should, if time permits, shut off the power to the equipment they are operating and proceed to the evacuation sites indicated outside the building (see Appendix 1) and conduct a roll call.
When the alarm is activated, at least one (1) member of the Emergency Control Committee should report to the evacuation site outside the plant (see Appendix 1). The other members should take necessary action to insure safety of the employees and notify proper agencies for any services that are needed.
With the exception of a fire, employees should not evacuate the building unless authorized by the Emergency Control Committee. The signal/alarm for a plant-wide evacuation will be a continuous high-pitched alarm. Once at the assembly site, the first-line supervisor should conduct a roll call and report to a Emergency Control Committee member for assistance.
The signal/alarm for a segmented area evacuation will an intermittent high-pitched alarm. A first-line supervisor will have the authority to activate the alarm and give appropriate instructions to employees to insure safety. Before leaving, the first-line supervisor should inspect the area to ensure all employees are evacuated. Evacuated employees should report to the assembly site posted inside the building (see Appendix 2). Once at the assembly site, the first-line supervisor should conduct a roll call and report to an Emergency Control Committee member for assistance.
A listing of all emergency telephone numbers is located at plant and office telephones (see Appendix 3). If the emergency occurs on the day shift, the switchboard operator will be responsible for contacting the appropriate agency. A member of the Emergency Control Committee should then be contacted for assistance.
A map of all evacuation sites will be displayed in the lunchroom and all departments. Each map will show the route and exit to take depending where employees are located in the plant. It will be the responsibility of the first-line supervisor to inform employees of these evacuation routes.
An emergency shutdown will only be ordered from the highest-ranking member of the Emergency Control Committee. No employee should risk any type of injury to accomplish this task.
However, if time permits, the following personnel should perform the following duties:
In the event of a tornado or a serve weather warning, the following procedure should be put in effect by the supervisor or emergency Control Committee:
An earthquake will usually occur without any type of warning. Due to the suddenness, all personnel should attempt to get into a doorway passage or under a table or desk. Any place where an employee feels safety is warranted. NO ONE SHOULD GO OUTSIDE THE BUILDING. After an earthquake has stopped, the following procedure should be initiated:
In the event of a bomb threat, which will normally be received over the telephone, the following procedure should be followed:

With the lack of rain this year in southern California and some other geographical zones, how many of you are feeding pollen substitute?
With the lack of rain this year in southern California and some other geographical zones, how many of you are feeding pollen substitute?
Feeding sub too. It is going to be a long summer and even worse a long fall. Blue curl and tarweed looking pretty sparse.
Learned my lesson last year, this year I fed my caught swarms half a pound of megabee each, and will feed again this fall unless I see lots of pollen going in. Right now they are fine, got a nice nectar flow from the soybeans next door and lots of bright yellow pollen (probably squash and cucumbers for the neighbors veggie gardens), but after losing a hive to stress and european foul brood, I'm feeding.
I've got syrup on the hives too, they are not as large as I'd like. We have very variable winters here, with just about no winter at all last year to six weeks of snow cover. I want them fat and happy by late October.
Give the current forecast of now rain any time soon, and since we typically don't get rain at all in late summer unless it's related to a tropical storm wandering up the Mississippi valley, I expect to be feeding until November.
Just got back from N/E colorado, great crop of grass hoppers to go along with the lack of rain. When we go back I will be taking the last of keiths sub that I got from Tom. Looking tough to me, sure hoping for some rain

Hey GB... nothing much in the way of honey and what there is, is hardly enough to keep the hives going. We have had feeders on since they got back from Cali... fires are a much bigger concern right now... One is burning between GJ and Debaque and growing...if it moves East or North East we are going to have yards in trouble.
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid. John Wayne
Already feeding sub and some very thin syrup here (to help add water for cooling). Nothing too unusual, except I've been concerned about the excess royal jelly in queen cells seems to have been drying down even more quickly than usual (just a few days after the cells are sealed), so I installed a fogging system under the mesquite tree where I grow my cells, it has made it easier for me to work outside, drops the temp and increases the R.H. I certainly hope it makes a good difference for the cells.
We've just had some fairly decent rain, but if it doesn't continue raining, or the temperature doesn't drop some, it won't turn into a flow by August.

Hello Alpha, great to here from you.We havent started feeding yet but are close, found a bunch of used feeders for sale so will bee making a road trip to pic them up. I am still using your H-B-H receipe. You need to quit meswssing around with that job of yours and get serious about the bees again..... take care GB

my name is jim. i had to move to woodbury right outside the twin cities and i had to get rid of all my hives. im looking for anyone that needs help with their bees, anything from bee inspections to queen rearing, extracting etc. i will volunteer my time because beekeeping is my passion. been doin it for 6 years. willing to drive quite a distance. my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
How is the pollen substitute/pudding feeding going on?
I am making feed rims and feeding syrup.
Good luck everybody,
Not feeding here in Vermont. Might throw a patty on before winter after their fall dose of medicated syrup.
Raising Vermont Bees one mistake at a time.

Ive got pollen patties and 1:1 syrup on my hives right now, not enough star thistle to get excited about and mustard is done. Do have a little bit of fennel blooming, but that will be over soon. Have a feeling I will be feeding until winter unless I can get my hives onto some blooming alfalpha closer to home.
Hoping next year will be better, if it wasnt for my two hives in the city I would have NO honey this year. Atleast those hives are doing good.

By now we have been feeding pollen substitute and thin sugar syrup for up to 6o days and most of us are somewhat tired of the uncooperative weather.
However, it looks like we have an ENSO developing.
Feeding hives is a better investment than purchasing pakages to replace our losses.
How are the rest of you doing?
More syrup feeding than I have ever had to do. Rabbit brush is producing pollen but no nectar shake out.Rain would help, but none in sight .
Hives are bare of pollen and brood is spotty, not enough pollen or nectar coming in to support any brood rearing. I've been feeding syrup for a month or two and pollen patties went on yesterday.
Ernie - I've been feeding syrup + HBH. What pollen substitute do you recommend for our area and why? Thank you, Casey.

Food and Agricultural Code Section 29413(1) was amended to esablish a new definition of honey and set new labeling standards for honey products. In the process, a new crime was created for violating the standards.
According to an article my atty James Spenser in "Central Coast Farm and Ranch" magazine, "honey" is now limited to substances produced by honeybees, and exludes products containing food additives or coloring. A precise chemical composition of honey is described, procedures to influence crystallization are prohibited, and distinctions are made between blossom honey, nectar honey and honeydew honey. The latter term now refers to substances generated by plant-sucking insects other than honeybees. As of Jan 1, all forms of honey products and labels must meet the new standards.

Reviews of this property
Reviews for this host's other properties
Big and clean apartment (1st floor of a house), located in a pleasant residential area, in a quite central location to visit LA. The neighborhood is also convenient with the farmers' market, the Grove and many stores.
Perfect for 4 people, even 6 would be possible.
The House is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood and it is strategically situated next to Melrose Avenue with walking distanse to Hollywood Walk of Fame and Beverly Hills. But you need a car in L.A to get around anyway. The house is one of two apartments in a large house and you can hear your neigbours very well, especially if they are a having a party. The house is quite old and needs renovation, f.ex. is the heating system in the living room not reparable - no problem during most of the year, but quite cold during winter time, so the owner had to bring extra owens. The house has limited power capacity, so you have to be careful when you put all electricity on. The house is large an can easily host a family with 6+ and the owner brings extra beds as needed. For shorter stays and also during summer period, the house is probably great to rent.
It was a great experience and a great stay at your place.
I will come again.
spacious and very clean apartment.
Apartment well located in a nice residential area. We will return with pleasure.
appartement spacieux et très propre.
Appartement bien situé dans un joli quartier résidentiel. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.
It was impossible to contact the owner; she never answered our emails or phone calls. Finally got an email (After wimdu got involved) telling us that the key was in secure box by the door with a code for the box: Hellllo!!! the box was behind a locked screen door , impossible to get it. It took 1 1/2 hrs to sort this out on arrival after a long day in the air. A maintenance man finally open the door for us; we found him in a garage in the backyard. The place was spacious but property was questionnable; there was dust everywhere and it was obvious that the cleaning was done at a minimum.
Apartment cute and great location, no kitchen but microwave fridge coffee machine and toaster solve every problem, complete and functional in every respect, we had a small problem and solving it propritaria we responded immediately to ' instant .... for sure if I return the risceglierei again !!!
Appartamento carinissimo e posizione straordinaria, non c'è la cucina ma il microonde il frigo la macchina del caffè e il tostapane risolvono ogni problema , completo e funzionale sotto ogni aspetto, abbiamo avuto un piccolissimo problema e la propritaria ci ha risposto immediatamente risolvendolo all'istante....di sicuro se dovessi tornare lo risceglierei di nuovo!!!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We were given a different house as the photos show, I believe the owner has more than one property in this area.
The house is spacious, the furnitures are old but workable. We arrived after 5pm but the cleaner has just began to clean the house, which wasn't very enjoyable as we had to wait for more than 1 hour to actually check in.
Overall it's alright although there are still lots of things can be simply improved. Good for group of 4 or more to stay.
Angie's place was great !!

That's a shitload of boxcars. Ought to be easy enough to find with Google Earth...
A common tactic is to release information in various forms, then track it to map the flow, etc. Great way to make lists of people and organizations.
"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.", Will Durant
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.", Edmund Burke
That's a shitload of boxcars. Ought to be easy enough to find with Google Earth...
I'm wondering if those "shackles" might actually be chain tie down points for car hauling? (I hope...)
Any Idea where the ones in NH are? I'll go check em out, & inspect the welds!
The thread is useless without pictures of these shackles...
God so loved the world He gave his only Son...
...Believe in Him and have everlasting life.
John 3:16
The whole thread is useless. Seriously, who believes if the government was actually having these cars built that they would place them in a publicly accessible area where any Joe Smoe could walk up to them and apparently look them over enough to see shackles and guillotines?
The rampant nonsensical shit that is spread does nothing to address the actual issues of the day and are nothing more than diversionary tactics. Some of you may choose to buy this type of crap and allow it to divert you from what is real and viable but I will not.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
While I can't speak to the railroad cars because I have never seen one, I've read enough of this to make it very difficult to re-insert my head into the sand and pretend that we don't have a problem.
I mean WE are to many for them to handle as a Group .... ( which the NDAA was signed for )
So have them built and have them put aside until needed ( which I hope never )
Then when the time comes heard up every man, woman, n child off to them re loc ation ca mps .... or even worse Watching Barney videos for 3 months straight
I never said to bury anyone's head in the sand but doesn't anyone besides me see the ridiculousness of some of these posts? For the love of God the government would have to kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of armed citizens if they started carting people away in box cars only to cut their heads off with guillotines. To leave those cars, if they ever existed, out in public view is just not a believable scenario. And further, why guillotines? When has that ever been a method of common execution in the US? Why would the military or DHS want such a grusome, messy method of executing prisoners when they could dig a hole, shoot them in the head, and push them in?
Nope, sorry, not buying it. I see this as either a government plan to agitate a rebellion they could then squash and solidify power. Or more likely, an attempt by a person or persons seeking to start that rebellion to overthrow the government by force. Either way, at this point I want no part of a violent overthrow of the government. Play along if you must, believe whatever nonsense is posted if you must, sometimes it is nothing more than being gullible and stupid.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!

Standard Ligatures
Standard Ligatures
The feature replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph which is preferred for typographic purposes. FontFonts include at least ligatures for 'fi' and 'fl'.
Case-Sensitive Forms
Case-Sensitive Forms
By default, glyphs in a text face are designed to work with lowercase characters. This feature shifts various punctuation marks up to a position that works better with all-capital sequences or sets of lining figures. This feature changes also automatically Oldstyle Figures to Lining Figures.
Capital Spacing
Capital Spacing
The Capital Spacing feature adjusts inter-glyph spacing for all-capital text. Most typefaces contain capitals and lowercase characters, and the capitals are positioned to work with the lowercase. When capitals are used for words, they need more space between them for legibility and aesthetics.
The feature replaces figures separated by a slash with common (diagonal) fractions. The number of fractions in a font may vary. FontFonts include fractions for at least 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4.
This feature replaces selected figures which precede a slash with numerator figures, and replaces the typographic slash with the fraction slash.
Replaces selected figures which follow a slash with denominator figures in order to build additional fractions.
This feature replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms for use after figures.
Scientific Inferiors
Scientific Inferiors
This feature replaces Lining or Oldstyle Figures with inferior figures (smaller glyphs which sit lower than the standard baseline, primarily for chemical or mathematical notation). May also replace lowercase characters with alphabetic inferiors.
Lining or oldstyle figures are replaced with superior figures (primarily for footnote indication), and lowercase letters are replaced with superior letters (primarily for abbreviated French titles).
This feature may replace a default glyph with a subscript glyph.
Stylistic Alternates
Stylistic Alternates
This feature replaces the default forms with stylistic alternates. Many fonts contain alternate glyph designs for a purely aesthetic effect; these don't always fit into a clear category like swash or historical.

Vehicle thefts keep Redding Police busy over the weekend
On Sunday, at 12:07 a.m. Redding Police said Officer Landreth spotted a stolen 1985 Toyota pickup driving in the area of Victor Avenue and East Cypress Avenue. The pickup was occupied by three white male adults. Officer Landreth was joined by Officers Townsley and Ellis along with his K-9 partner Tarro.
According to police a traffic stop was attempted but the pickup fled from Officers.
The suspect driving the pickup attempted to leave the roadway and drive into a field off of Knighton Road west of Airport Road. The pickup became inoperable and came to a stop. All three suspects attempted to flee on foot from the pickup.
According to Corporal Jon Polestski, the driver Leonard Michael Cromp Jr., 21, of Anderson was taken into custody with the help of K-9 Tarro, while attempting to flee the pickup. The other two occupants fled into a field near by. A search was conducted and one of the other suspects was located hiding in the field. He was identified as Calvin Cory Richison, 19, of Redding.
The third suspect was not located and is only described as a white male adult.
Poletski said Cromp was treated at Shasta Regional Medical center for a dog bite wound and later booked into the Shasta County Jail for vehicle theft, felony evading, resisting arrest and a probation violation. Cromp is on AB 109 post supervision release. Richison was arrested for obstructing and delaying an officer. He was later booked into the Shasta County Jail.
Through the night Poletski said RPD recovered three other stolen vehicles. Erik Daniel Ovist, 26, of Redding was arrested for vehicle theft and possession of a stolen vehicle after he allegedly fled on foot during a traffic stop on a 2002 Toyota Avalon. Police said the traffic stop was conducted because the vehicle had stolen plates on it. It was later determined that the vehicle was reported stolen on June 13, 2013. Ovist also had a felony warrant for his arrest. He was later booked at the Shasta County Jail.
Joshua Anthony Azevedo, 28, of Manton was also arrested after he was allegedly seen driving a stolen 1999 Ford F-250 pickup southbound on Highway 273. A traffic stop was conducted and Azevedo was taken into custody without incident for vehicle theft and possession of a stolen vehicle. Azevedo was booked into the Shasta County Jail.
Another traffic stop was conducted on an allegedly stolen 2012 Nissan Frontier Pickup on Grandview Avenue and Hillcrest Street. However the driver fled on foot in the area and was not located. He was described as being in his early 20's wearing dark clothing.
The Redding Police Department would like to remind citizens to lock and secure there vehicles and property.
Anyone with information on these cases are asked to give Redding Police a call.

ECS P55H-AK Overclocking
Posted on 26th Sep 2010 at 10:12 by Richard Swinburne with 4 comments
At $300 (it's not yet available in the UK) out of the starting blocks there's already a hefty weight on it for a P55 board, even if it does have extra NF200 and PLX chips to add more PCI Express lanes.
Unperturbed, we still wanted to have a gander at its overclocking capabilities, so we requested a board for a quick test. Once we had it in our mitts we dropped it on the review block (it's a cold piece of granite that bares the scars of previous torture), with a Core i5-750, some 2,200MHz Elpida Hyper and a Titan Fenrir.
