Who knew that this season's biggest fashion bunfight would have been just that — a battle not about handbags, heels and hems but panettone, pastry and pralines? Last year, two of the world's largest luxury goliaths, Bernard Arnault (owner of Louis Vuitton, Dior and Céline) and Miuccia Prada, were slugging it out for ownership of one of Milan's oldest cake shops, Cova, founded in 1817 and situated on the city's answer to Bond Street, Via Montenapoleone. Arnault, France's richest man, won that battle, but Prada fought back in March by acquiring a large stake in the 190-year-old Pasticceria Marchesi, which opens a pop-up branch in Harrods today as part of its Pradasphere event.
Many worried what this would signify for the fashion world. Would elasticated waistbands be making a comeback, or perhaps Pasticceria Marchesi's signature bake, the colomba (a dove-shaped cake filled with orange peel and topped with almonds), would soon be stamped with the Prada triangle?
Prada and LVMH are not the only ones getting in a flap over carbs. At Paris Fashion Week, Dasha Zhukova (Roman Abramovich's partner) was holding court over baked potatoes with Julia Restoin Roitfeld and Diane Kruger at Caviar Kaspia, a panel-led room on Place de la Madeleine (OK, the potatoes come topped with caviar: €333 for beluga and a snip at €79 for mere white sturgeon). At the dinner for The Glamour of Italian Fashion at the V&A, Tom Ford and Naomi Campbell hit back at the 5:2 reign of terror by tucking into potatoes and ice cream.
One of Moschino's most hyped new arrivals has been designer Jeremy Scott's Maccy D icon sweater dress at £492 (in liveried red and yellow) trumpeting: 'Moschino — Over 20 Billion Served.' Anya Hindmarch is also feeling savoury; there's a waiting list for her high-shine £995 'crisp clutch' (below), inspired by a crumpled crisp packet, after it debuted in February at London Fashion Week.
Earlier on in LFW, models 'thought Christmas had come early', says James Tregaskes, party organiser for fashion PR company Karla Otto, whose clients include Valentino and Givenchy. They couldn't get enough of the focaccia and mini pizzas from Soho-based bakers Princi that he ordered in for the Simon Gao show. Tregaskes adds that jam- or custard-filled St John Bakery doughnuts are favourites with the fashion and art sets and have been served at Lanvin shows.
Moschino's A/W 2014 Milan invite was a giant block of chocolate resembling a Hershey bar, and Hindmarch also had bags in the shape of Quality Street chocolates and packets of Digestives. A mouthful of carbs now marks you out as the ultimate rebel (though naturally, you'll need a coupe of Dom Pérignon in one hand, and that doughnut should be bijou in size to be properly chic). Ali Warburton, MD of Ravenous, which caters at Diane von Furstenberg's London parties, thinks the chic stodge trend is all about money. 'Carbs are cheap, so clients can spend more on the bar,' she says.
Even LA-ers are rebelling against the tyranny of lean cuisine. Food at Leonardo DiCaprio's housewarming party at the $5.3 million Palm Springs mansion he bought in March was Rat Pack-themed, with dishes including mac and cheese, potato salad, cakes and cookies, while a milkshake maker churned out fabulous brown sugar shakes.
Carbs have become so naughty that chowing down on a burger will generate nearly as many headlines as accepting the role of a transsexual in a major Hollywood production. Check out the shots of Elton John's Oscar party guests, including Lady Gaga, Donatella Versace and Jared Leto, hanging out by the In-N-Out Burger van this year. Or consider the waves caused by Cara and Jourdan's 'burger' selfie, taken minutes before their Burberry runway show in London Fashion Week last September.
There's no doubt about it. There is a nutritional free-for-all going on right now. The story of Bill Clinton's doctor, Mark Hyman, telling the former president to give up his vegan diet because it was making him fat was breaking news in last month's New York Times. Jean-Claude Vacassin, founder of W10 Performance Gym, is convinced that 'people are bored of fad diets'. Vacassin, whose old-fashioned attitude to carbs has attracted a clutch of Victoria's Secret models and former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, says: 'The problem is that people do low carbs from Monday to Friday but then eat crap and drink like fish at the weekends, so the body is constantly under the cosh.'
He adds that so-called 'gluten intolerance' might simply be a case of 'gut impermeability because you've been drinking too much alcohol'. W10 offers bespoke 'macronutrient ratio' advice, measuring the amount of carbs, fats and proteins to suit your body.
Fashion writer Bronwyn Cosgrave says that Brits are obsessed with fad diets because 'the UK lacks the reverence around food culture that exists in France and Italy'. Artisan patisserie in Europe is the equivalent of high fashion, she says, because 'after the French Revolution, while dressing flamboyantly was frowned upon, it was acceptable to go to town with fancy cakes'. Who can forget the key role of Mendel's decadent cakes and pretty pink boxes in Wes Anderson's Mittel-European fable The Grand Budapest Hotel?
Cosgrave is not surprised by Prada's new direction: 'Miuccia Prada has a history of entertaining guests with spectacular foods that co-ordinate with her collections.' This season's Art Deco-style anchovy and lemon triangles were served on the steel trays you'd find at a dentist's surgery.
'Christian Dior was a massive foodie, too, and Pierre Cardin bought Maxim's [Paris' most fashionable restaurant of the Belle Epoque]. Giorgio Armani has run cafés since the 1980s and the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli have followed suit.'
As for Prada's bringing of Pasticceria Marchesi to Harrods, Cosgrave calls it 'clever stealth marketing. People in the know will understand it's a Prada patisserie.' It's recession-proof, too: 'For most people, a £500 handbag is too expensive but they can have the same type of guilty pleasure by feasting on a macaron.' And if fashion is being inspired by food, then the inverse is also happening, with macaron-maker Ladurée launching a make-up line, Les Merveilleuses.
Like the best fashion, there's something undeniably sexy about a tiny, elaborately made, fancifully named orange peel biscuit, and you always enter a Parisian pâtisserie with the kind of hushed excitement you get in a fabulous lingerie boutique. Even the words associated with French carbs — ganache, pâte brisée, crème Chiboust — sound not unlike the most exotic of fashion fabrics: mousseline, crepe de Chine, duchess satin.
Even so, Parisian personal trainer and life coach Emmanuel Marx is horrified at the idea that carbs have become the new black: 'The Parisian fashion crew stays thin because, from what I hear, they're still enjoying the 1980s champagne-and-cocaine diet. They can't eat more than two macarons.'
He warns: 'Carbs may be the new black, but they will make you fat and then you really will have to wear black.'
Pradasphere is open throughout May on the fourth floor of Harrods (harrods.com)Reuse content

The northern suburbs of Austin are currently a hive of activity with plenty of apartment construction. There is plenty of room for growth and the road and public systems are in place to cater for this. We headed into the downtown city area of Austin via the light rail system. We left the car at the Kramer station and with a $1.00 fare each, travelled the 25 minute journey.
The city is easy to navigate with grid streets numbered from the river at 1st street
After lunch we continued exploring the downtown area and headed to the area where Formula One entertainment and specialized merchandise will be situated over the weekend.

False River could be reopened soon
NEW ROADS - Authorities said Wednesday they hope to reopen the swollen False River in Pointe Coupee Parish before this weekend, depending on how much water levels decrease.
The river is currently closed and at 17.5 feet, and still a threat to homes and properties on the river according to emergency officials.
Jim Bello, the parish administrator, said they hope to have the river open Thursday.
People with questions should call the parish police jury at (225) 638-9556.

BACKGROUND: When Grizedale Arts director Adam Sutherland came to live at Lawson Park in 2000 there was no garden in evidence. Nearly a decade later (garden enthusiast Karen Guthrie joining Adam there in 2002) the site now includes a wide range of gardens and growing spaces in around 5 acres, from a formal vegetable potager to a wildflower meadow.
Anecdotally it was said there had been a potato / vegetable patch which had sustained the last farming family to occupy the land in the 1950's, but by 2000 the near-derelict site had only a few hazel coppices, a rowan and some tumbledown dry stone walls bordered by Forestry Commission conifer plantations on one side and the Brantwood Estate on the other. However, the site - an exposed south west facing slope some 180 metres (600 feet) above sea level - clearly offered incredible potential, with its natural streams and uninterrupted views of the Old Man of Coniston mountain.
The present gardens were begun on a wet February weekend in 2001, when Adam and partner Karen Guthrie planted a hedgerow of native plants along a boundary between the edge of Grizedale Forest and Lawson Park. Largely unplanned at this early stage, a half acre ornamental area immediately in front of the farmhouse has developed from many seed-grown perennials propagated by Karen (a lifelong keen gardener) as time and finances allowed. Keen to avoid replicating a traditional Lake District garden, the experimental plantings are in constant flux, influenced in turn by modern European prairie plantings, Japanese garden design and observations of the wild landscape in the immediate vicinity. The garden areas are classified as 'Ornamental Gardens' or 'Productive Gardens'. As the plan to develop Lawson Park as Grizedale's head-quarters has emerged, the ambition of the garden has increased. It now seeks to articulate the philosophical aims of the organisation and act as a test-bed for new farming / horticultural practices and artists' projects. Landscape architect Lyn Kinnear was among the earliest advisors, and more recently designer Becky Sobell has contributed ideas. The gardens (both productive and ornamental) have now burgeoned to occupy some 5 acres and are a much-admired part of the local landscape. From 2006 - 2008 professional gardener George Watson joined Karen and Adam part-time. Work parties and volunteers are an important part of the annual maintenance regime now, with all residents and staff on site working on the land for a period each week.
In 2014/15 Stephen Rae gardened with us, and in 2015 Grace Holland and Ann-Catherine Andersson joined as part-time gardeners.
VISIT THE GARDEN: The gardens were selected by
the prestigious National Gardens Scheme to open to the public for
charity in 2008/9/10 and despite the reliably awful weather on Open
Days, have welcomed over 500 visitors including the Hardy Plant
Society and many local groups.
Though now withdrawn from the NGS we periodically invite members of the public to visit Lawson Park - email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Confessions of an English Opium-Eater HTML version
knowledge of London suggested and the limited extent of my power made
possible. The street where she had lodged I knew, but not the house; and I
remembered at last some account which she had given me of ill-treatment from
her landlord, which made it probable that she had quitted those lodgings before
we parted. She had few acquaintances; most people, besides, thought that the
earnestness of my inquiries arose from motives which moved their laughter or
their slight regard; and others, thinking I was in chase of a girl who had robbed
me of some trifles, were naturally and excusably indisposed to give me any clue
to her, if indeed they had any to give. Finally as my despairing resource, on the
day I left London I put into the hands of the only person who (I was sure) must
know Ann by sight, from having been in company with us once or twice, an
address to -, in -shire, at that time the residence of my family. But to this hour I
have never heard a syllable about her. This, amongst such troubles as most men
meet with in this life, has been my heaviest affliction. If she lived, doubtless we
must have been some time in search of each other, at the very same moment,
through the mighty labyrinths of London; perhaps even within a few feet of each
other-- a barrier no wider than a London street often amounting in the end to a
separation for eternity! During some years I hoped that she DID live; and I
suppose that, in the literal and unrhetorical use of the word MYRIAD, I may say
that on my different visits to London I have looked into many, many myriads of
female faces, in the hope of meeting her. I should know her again amongst a
thousand, if I saw her for a moment; for though not handsome, she had a sweet
expression of countenance and a peculiar and graceful carriage of the head. I
sought her, I have said, in hope. So it was for years; but now I should fear to see
her; and her cough, which grieved me when I parted with her, is now my
consolation. I now wish to see her no longer; but think of her, more gladly, as one
long since laid in the grave--in the grave, I would hope, of a Magdalen; taken
away, before injuries and cruelty had blotted out and transfigured her ingenuous
nature, or the brutalities of ruffians had completed the ruin they had begun.

Crab runs off with man's beer
A man has videoed a crab pinching his bottle of beer and scuttling off with its prize.
The bottle is, luckily for the man, empty which is just as well because his half-hearted efforts to wrest the bottle back from the crustacean are unsuccessful.
The crab then backs away as the man asks, a little drunkenly, "what are you going to do with that?"
It puts on a turn of speed as he approaches it again and then releases its prize and takes shelter under a table.

I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't have some sort of issue with their lawn. Dog circles, grass grubs, Onehunga weed, moss, kikuyu, dead bits, wet bits, dry bits... the problems are endless.
Yet there we are, struggling, slaving, and spending our hard-earned cash farming what must surely be the most useless crop on the planet.
Do we really need all that lawn, or is it just our default landscape setting? After all, lawns are pretty much ecological dead zones. The wildlife they support is microscopic compared to forest, native bush, prairie, garden and swamp, so it stands to reason that the more lawn you replace with, say, blooming ground covers, the better your contribution to the environment.
They're already on to this in a big way in the US, where some cities pay residents by the square foot to remove lawn and replace it with drought-tolerant native landscapes or permeable hardscapes. In addition to creating more sustainable landscapes, this will have an impact on the estimated 23 million tonnes of lawn clippings a year that Americans toss into landfills. And last, but not least, petrol-fuelled lawn equipment emits pollution – just like cars.
The Partner, who is trying to turn our half acre of kikuyu into a bowling green, will kill me for this, but if you're determined to keep your lawn, let it grow longer. That way it'll develop a better root system, and the longer foliage will shade the soil and conserve moisture. Once you get used to it, you'll probably come to like the shaggy style and, if you want, you can mow shorter pathways through it and add paving stones for a designer look.
Next, earmark any patch of lawn that's not up to scratch as an area for redevelopment as a butterfly and bee resort. Remove the turf, till the surface, then seed or plant it with flowering herbs and ground covers. If you like it, you can slowly extend. In a country town not far from ours, a few residents have even replaced the grass on the road verges with herbs and flowers and it's a vast improvement.
There's a trick, though. If you're going to embark on a lawn replacement programme, you need to choose plants that will do better in your conditions than the lawn did. Eco-source plants that are adapted to current local conditions and select a combination of colours, sizes and textures that look the most interesting.
If you're a tidy Kiwi, you can use edging to create a finite separation between grass and plants. Various edging materials can be used, including plastic, timber and metal. Use a professional for installation, if you want a slick look. When the job's done well, you shouldn't even notice it. Otherwise, just let your ground covers, flowers and herbs creep out onto the existing lawn for a carefree (some might say careless), random style.
I've chosen this look in the vain hope that The Partner won't actually notice that the lawn is shrinking.
Lavender buzz
Some plants lend themselves beautifully to lawn replacements, and my favourites are always those that either grow really quickly, or are easy to propagate.
Lavender and grevillea are high on my list and, despite the fact that they're dry garden plants, they've taken to our subtropical garden like ducks to water. Every time I walk past the lawn replacement project, I break off three or four bits and stick them into the ground, thereby extending the replacement area with virtually no effort. So far the strike rate is about 70% – and now I can hardly get near the place for bees.
Sprinkle of herbs
Thyme is an easy cover to start with. The most vigorous is probably lavender thyme, but why not plant a combination of different ones and see which works best. Add camomile, catmint, oregano and prostrate rosemary.
Most will do well in well-drained soil and full sun or part shade. With a good start they don't need much attention. Plant in odd numbers in a random pattern – they'll fill in the space more quickly.

Last time I tried the apple tarte tatin from des Gateaux et du Pain, this time we tried the damassé and the chausson au citron. The chausson I had tried before already actually and I think my taste preference changed a bit over these months.
The damessé is like a baby of the parisian flan and the Portugese pastel de nata. It had a mild flavor and was not very sweet. I might say the flavor was too mild maybe. Not bad though, just not as good as the Portugese Pastel de Belem.
Last time I found the chausson a bit too sour, this time I really appreciated the acidity.
Overall I really like Des Gateaux et du Pain, the pastries are made less sweet which I appreciate.

Austereo pumps up the volume on TV expansion
Page Tools
Radio station owner Austereo is expanding to the small screen, with plans to move into internet broadcasting in coming years and a possible tilt at television as well.
The company behind the Today and Triple M networks hopes to make more money from multimedia to combat increasingly tough conditions in the radio market, where its 2004-05 net profit slipped 3 per cent to $40.63 million.
Austereo confirmed it would consider moving into TV if the Federal Government changed cross-media ownership laws.
It is understood such a move could include forays into regional TV stations or music video channels for pay TV.
Chief executive Michael Anderson said the next few years would see significant changes in the media industry. "The next three years, it's about content and we see radio stations in our group … well positioned to create content. We will increasingly explore this whole digital area," he said.
The company could consider stand-alone internet radio stations, joint ventures with other players in the area and utilising the enhanced capabilities of 3G mobile phones, he said.
Chairman Peter Harvie said Austereo was also considering opportunities that could arise if cross-media ownership laws were changed. "Our view is that we would take opportunities, should they prevail," Mr Harvie said. "We have adequate funding to take that step."
He said Austereo was leaning towards "non-print" areas, and when asked if that included television, he replied: "Perhaps."
"I guess the second point is we're not a seller," he said.
In the immediate future, Austereo faces greater competition from rival DMG, which has just launched its new Vega radio station in Sydney and Melbourne.
Sales revenue rose by $7.5 million to $247.9 million. The group was leader in all its important audience demographics, but its market share declined.
Austereo posted a final dividend of 3.8c per share, fully franked, unchanged from the previous corresponding period, taking total dividends for the year to 7.2c. Its shares fell 4.5c to $1.625.

A 12-year-old boy suffered serious facial injuries when he was bitten by a dog near Turangi. The boy was treated at the scene and taken to Taupo Hospital by St John Ambulance, then flown to Waikato Hospital. Hospital spokeswoman Mary Anne Gill said the boy was due to have surgery last night.
Wellington-based architect Ashley Cox, who grew up in Hawke's Bay, is today revelling in the pride of winning a New Zealand Architecture Award for the design of an inspirational studio for Napier artist Martin Popplewell. Mr Cox has been involved in other sites in Hawke's Bay, and previous awards have been mainly regional and mainly while working for other people.
Waiariki Institute of Technology and The Daily Post are offering two members of the public the opportunity to attend next week's sold out Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Sings In Rotorua event.
The April 26 black tie dinner and show extravaganza is Dame Kiri's only New Zealand outing in 2012 and promises to be the highlight of the entertainment year in the Rotorua region.
Meanwhile in Waihi Beach, wild weather and high king tides sparked concerns from beachfront property owners. The District Council utilities manager has visited to assess and noted that the erosion had not, at this stage, affected any private properties. Nevertheless, a discussion has been triggered by community paper The Waihi Leader on their recently launched Facebook page.
In Tauranga, it is reported that several musicians who played in the cash-strapped 50th National Jazz Festival are outraged because they have been told they must wait at least another month for payment. While the council funded a substantial deposit for headline act Earth, Wind and Fire, it appeared many other acts had not received a cent. "It's bloody not on and it's not bloody good enough," said one of the affected musicians.
An hour-long power outage throughout the Wanganui CBD yesterday left cinema-goers stranded, shop staff unable to work, and one radio personality scrambling to get money from a cash machine. A lone magpie was the cause of the outage that affected 6000 properties. The bird had been sitting on a guide wire when it somehow touched two wires at the same time.
It is also reported that Wanganui's busiest stretch of road - the portion of London St that is part of SH3 - caters for fewer than 10 per cent of the 154,000 vehicles which cross Auckland Harbour Bridge each day so there is no need to be worried about getting jammed in traffic.
The boots and vehicles of an invading army of seasonal workers could threaten Northland's $36 million kiwifruit industry. The region has been in lock-down for several months to try to keep out the kiwifruit vine disease PSA, which last year caused losses in other parts of the country estimated at up to 15 million trays.
Meanwhile, an Oamaru teenager is on a mission. Seeing smashed glass and empty alcohol vessels strewn all over the street is a common sight at the weekend and one young man says that he's had enough. The Acting Sergeant of Police who has worked in Oamaru for 14 years claims it was worse in Invercargill, where he was previously stationed. Apparently, there is a big drinking culture down south, but in Oamaru people tend to drink responsibly.

Apr 12, 2014 at 4:58 pm #1315592
David PostonBPL Member
@dgpostonLocale: NYC metro
My Dri-Ducks pants modded into a rain skirt, Mike Clelland style, weigh around 2.75 oz. I was thinking of ditching them this summer as I have hardly ever needed them for most 2-3 day trips in Colorado. Saving 2.75 oz for me would be significant.
I will be doing a 3 day hike in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas in a couple weeks. I'm guessing temps will range from 50-80 F. Should I take them or not?
I've been tossing around the idea of picking up the Zpacks cuben fiber rain skirt, but it still weighs around 1.9 oz. I'm wondering how many of you are fine with just getting your legs wet. How cold does it have to be before this could lead to problems?Apr 12, 2014 at 6:17 pm #2092374
John S.BPL Member
2.75 oz significant?..lol. Oh yeah, this is lightweight backpacking. Well, I have gotten cold legs before in Colorado but it was morning temps in the 30's and I was walking through overgrown and very wet vegetation that drenched my pants within a minute of hiking through it. It did make an impact on me so I always take pants. If the forecast is dry or no thunderstorms and you are hiking with others, you will live ; ). If no rain pants taken, I would take something dry to change into in camp.Apr 12, 2014 at 6:30 pm #2092376

Do you have full use of your legs?Apr 12, 2014 at 6:34 pm #2092377

I guess the real question is are you OK with your butt/crotch being wet/cold or will this just not happen this time of year (i.e. no downpours and 70F+ weather).
I find that if my upper legs get wet, the wetness gets sucked into my shorts/boxers and even synthetic ones are not awesome when wet for hours.Apr 12, 2014 at 6:38 pm #2092378

Yes, you should take the rain skirt. If you have to ask either you are either banking on it not raining at all, or you never tried it like that in extended rain. First of all, your legs get wet WITH a rain skirt. Unless you have an anorak or a poncho its not your legs, but the entire lower half of you body that is the issue. Your rain jacket will make this even worse since all the run off is going to run down into your..ahem.. crotchal area. While this might be refreshing for 30 minute during a 90 degree day, much less so for hours on end, and potentially very bad if it is windy and in the 50s. You can get hypothermia quite easily spending extended time in the low 50's, especially if you don't have enough rain protection to keep your core temperature up. At the very least have an alternate plan if it get chilly enough – some dry underwear in your pack will cover the entirely wet crotch issue, but then again they weigh just as much.
BTW, the stupid light extreme aside, the reason so many people like rain skirts is that they are more comfortable to hike in because of the ventilation – the lighter weight was originally an extraneous bonus feature, but it seems like a lot of people on here now think the whole point is to save weight.
A cut up garbage bag & duct tape will work just as well, and maybe you can get it down to 1.5 oz. Otherwise the modded driducks are a great, nearly disposable alternative to stupid light.
You should take a look at the zpacks poncho groundsheet (if you are going to the extreme of considering cuben) instead – replaces rain jacket and pants, groundsheet, and pack cover, and has better ventilation than any rain suit – ideal for the kinds of mild condition you are referring to. Also at the very least ifit is your groundsheet you will always get to use it every day :-)Apr 12, 2014 at 6:45 pm #2092381

3 days gives you a pretty good forecast
Its unlikely that you would have any extended precipitation that wasnt forecast, you could always wait out scattered showers.
But prudence, is just to bring them, things dont dry quick in the humid SE compared to CO or CA, NM, etc. Its almost like…they dont dry at all.Apr 12, 2014 at 7:11 pm #2092388

While I'm a bit blown away by the statement that 2.75oz would represent a significant weight savings…I generally don't use rain pants when I hike in the rain. I live in Alaska, so my guess is that our rain is similar to Colorado- cold. I wear quick dry nylon pants so they dry quickly once I'm out of the rain, and provided I keep my core warm and dry I've never felt at risk of hypothermia. However, if I knew I was going to be in extended rainy conditions, I probably would bring rain pants. And if I didn't have dry sleep clothes to change into- and with the OP being obsessed over 2.75oz I do have to wonder what other items may be missing from his pack- then I would most definitely ensure that my pants stayed dry and clean.Apr 12, 2014 at 7:35 pm #2092396

I love my zpacks rain kilt. I have only used it once in rain, but use it every night as a ground cloth for my gear when I am sleeping, or to sit on when the ground is wet, it is very much a multi use piece of gear.Apr 12, 2014 at 7:40 pm #2092397

If the weight was important, I wouldn't hesitate to drop the kilt in summer. I take a light rain kilt typically in summer but it's not that essentialApr 12, 2014 at 7:56 pm #2092401

Depends entirely on temperature (and how warm you hike). I wouldn't say rain pants are necessary unless it's less than 40-45 degrees. Basically shoulder season weather in the mountains.
In an emergency you can wear your long underwear under your pants and even when soaking wet they will keep you tolerable (especially if they are wool). I've worn my fleece lined tights in rain/sleet/snow weather and my legs were ok when wet.Apr 12, 2014 at 8:44 pm #2092413

No. Pants will suffice for the legs. For the torso, an umbrella and windshirt are nice while hiking and an emergency poncho in camp. According to me!Apr 12, 2014 at 9:41 pm #2092416

@btolleyLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
Three years ago I would have said no. I always thought that even if it was raining, if my top was warm and dry I would be OK and I could keep my self warm enough by moving.
Then two springs ago, I was doing a long day hike with a chance of thundershowers so I tossed in my rain shell. The showers materialized along with wind. I was perfectly fine while going up hill and got to the top of the high point. But on the way down, I started to get hypothermic. I had to run back to the car to stay warm enough.
Now if there is a chance of rain and wind, I bring the rain pants. if it is summer and warm, I might bring the kilt.
Since the OP does not say whether rain is in the forecast, I think the question is not answerable.
If rain is forecast, and the temps will reach 50 degrees, 2.75 oz seem a small price for a large margin of safety.Apr 13, 2014 at 2:02 am #2092427

@dwambaughLocale: Pacific Northwest
In the Pacific NW, the shoulder seasons and winter can bring long bouts of cold rain, so wearing rain pants as your primary bottom shell can be practical.
For warmer weather with a poncho I'm covered to the knees, so I can leave the rain pants. With a poncho and tall gaiters, you only have about 3" of leg exposed.
Getting my lower legs wet isn't bad, but a wet butt/crotch is cold and chafing and wet thighs restrict movement, so I would take pants with a jacket. The rain funnels off a jacket, giving your legs a double dose so to speak.
If you do the light shorts and wind pants combo, many athletic style wind pants are very water repellent, but not as breathable and have unsealed seams. I've found unlined Nike/Rebok/New Balance type pants in the 6oz range.
I wonder if a rain kilt could be designed to supplement a the weather end of a tarp?Apr 13, 2014 at 8:18 am #2092475

As you can probably tell from the responses to your query, whether you decide to use rain pants or not depends upon where you travel, when you'll be out on the trails, how you respond to wet conditions, how much you're obsessing about saving ounces, etc. You need to check into the conditions into which you'll be placing yourself, and them decide whether or not you really need the pants.
Just FYI: when I get out in near my home (in north-central Colorado) in the summer, I don't take rain pants, because even if I get caught in a downpour, it generally doesn't last long. Plus, my hiking shorts are moisture-wicking material, so they dry out within an hour after being soaked. And I'm relatively cold-tolerant so being a little damp isn't much of a concern. But I've kept rain pants in my closet for the times I know I'll be out in steady, cold, rainy conditions.Apr 13, 2014 at 1:58 pm #2092582

Whenever I have worn them I've been very glad to have them. I don't seem to overheat in waterproof trousers, but this is probably because I only put them on in wet AND cold conditions.
I am still experimenting in this area and sometimes carry both a rain skirt and waterproof trousers (weight weenies feel free to shudder now). I prefer to use a rain skirt jacket, rain skirt poncho or poncho only combo below the bush line and in warmer rain and have found these to work well. My next experiment will be with a jacket, MLD long eVent gaiters, shorts and a rain skirt. The MLD event gaiters are so light they will spend most of the time in my pack. A long jacket plus gaiters and shorts has historically been the favoured clothing set up of the NZ tramper. I suspect this will work well for me in anything but really cold wind driven rain. In these conditions I have found WB trousers and a jacket the most effective way to remain warm.
I have tried my Montbell wind pants in wet conditions, combined with shorts and a rain skirt. I found that the Montbell pants quickly became saturated below the knee and clung to my skin and seemed to sap heat away from me.

Hyperbaric Medicine Services
Upstate University Hospital - Downtown Campus
Rm. 1528, 750 East Adams Street
Syracuse, NY 13210
Map & directions
Phone: 315 464-4910
Fax: 315 464-1538
Hours: 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM
University Hospital has the only accredited, hospital-based Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy unit in Central New York, as well as the first accredited hyperbaric program in the State of New York.
About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Through the use of a special chamber that increases atmospheric pressure, hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers 100 percent oxygen throughout the entire body. The increased level of oxygen enters the blood and body tissues to promote healing.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was initially used to treat deep-sea divers with decompression sickness known as "the bends." However, over the past few decades, the role of this unique therapy has expanded to include the treatment of a number of other medical conditions, particularly those that do not respond to other therapies.
Conditions We Treat
- Chronic non-healing wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers
- Late effect injuries from radiation therapy
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Decompression sickness
- Air or gas embolism
- Acute anaerobic infections
- Skin grafts and flaps
- Severe crush injuries
- Exceptional blood loss anemia (when religious beliefs or an inability to cross-match blood make transfusion impractical)
From time to time there are claims that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is being used to successfully treat a number of other medical conditions. However, there is little or no clinical evidence to support these claims. At University Hospital we adhere strictly to treating only the conditions approved by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS). The list is reviewed every two years. UHMS, whose mission is to promote sound treatment protocols and standards of practice, is recognized worldwide as the primary source of information on hyperbaric medicine.
Our Expert Clinicians
The staff of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy unit are nationally recognized for their skill and experience. In addition to many years of practice in the specialty of hyperbaric medicine, they have experience in emergency and critical care medicine. Members of our staff frequently provide advice to other hyperbaric oxygen therapy centers and are also involved in extensive community education activities on carbon monoxide poisoning.
Marvin Heyboer III, MD, the physician director, is board certified by the subspecialty of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society. Members of our staff are involved in research in the field of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and have published clinical evaluation data for the past 10 years.
Our expertise in hyperbaric medicine is acknowledged by the fact that administrators of the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs consider the Hyperbaric Medicine program at University Hospital to be a model for other facilities in the United States. Equally importantly, our unit is very highly regarded by our patients and their families and consistently scores in the top percentile in patient satisfaction surveys.
The Hospital Advantage
University Hospital has the first Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Unit accredited by the UHMS in New York State as well as the first Unit receiving this accreditation with distinction. The unit is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to care for medical emergencies.
Since we are a hospital-based unit, in the unlikely event of a problem during treatment, it is reassuring to know that our physicians and nurses have the support of other skilled health professionals and access to the resources of the entire hospital.
We provide the referring physician with frequent status reports throughout the course of a patient's treatment. Our registered nurses are happy to answer questions from physicians, patients or family members prior to, during, or after treatment.

Lesa Cline-Ransome at work
By the time I reached middle school, I decided that I wanted to be a real writer, a journalist. I wanted to sniff out stories, conduct interviews and write in-depth articles for a newspaper in New York City. After I attended a summer workshop for teens interested in journalism at Suffolk University in Boston, I realized that a career in journalism was the last thing I wanted. I was too shy to conduct interviews, hated working under tight deadlines and did not enjoy factual writing. I wanted to create my own stories or at least be able to put my own creative spin on the stories I wrote. By the time I finished high school, I had given up on the idea of any type of writing career.
Though my mother started me on my writing journey, it was my teachers in school and throughout college that sustained it. With encouragement from my professors at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, I began writing for the college paper and my passion for writing was renewed. After I graduated, I took my first job in the advertising department at Lord & Taylor but soon realized that writing ad copy for catalogues would not be enough of a creative outlet.
I became interested in children's books the year I married. My husband, James was working on illustrating his first book which allowed both of us to look at picture books in a new way. When we'd browse books in bookstores, he studied the illustrations, I read the stories. I eventually completed a graduate degree in elementary education and through my coursework became truly immersed in children's literature.
When I was home after the birth of our first child, James would constantly suggest that I start writing for children. He had tons of ideas for books (none of which I liked), but then he showed me a collection of stories about champion athletes. When I read the section on Satchel Paige, the Negro League pitcher, I was hooked. In between my daughter's naps and another pregnancy, I read and researched and wrote for nearly a year before an editor at Simon & Schuster decided to take a chance on Satchel. Four years, four books (and four children) later and I am still writing.
Now as I make my weekly treks to the library with my own children to gather research or stock up on books, I am again reminded of just how lucky I am.

이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
We had a great time at Christian´s place in Trapani for a whole week. He was not there in person but had organised that someone from next door met us to hand us the keys - that worked perfectly even though it was well after midnight.
The apartment itself is very spacey and situated right in the middle of the beautiful old town, not far from the bars and restaurants.
Mind you, it´s about 100+ stairs to climb to get to the apartment - no problem, though. The balcony is quite small; we would recommend to sit outside on the roof terrace which is just one floor above the apartment. Very nice in the evenings!
All in all: Nice place to stay in Trapani for a reasonable price.
Great place to stay, great location really easy to deal with. THanks so much!!
Nice clean apartment, an ideal location directly in the center near to everything.
Just a small con it was the bed, it was pretty much deformed and couldnt sleep well but the rest was 100% awesome thanks christian !
Thank you for hosting us. The apartment was very nice. Please fix the shower and toilet and it will be perfect. We specially enjoyed roof terrace ;). Location is perfect, quiet street in old part of Trapani whjich is superb for tourists. Highly recomended apartment for it's price. It would be useful to have internet, even slow connection would be fine..
Apartment is awesome! It's situated in a perfect location, which is close to the city centre but also relatively quiet. It's neat, tidy and equipped w/ everything you'd need while on holiday. It's much more than I could've expected, perfect place for a reasonable money :)
Bell'appartamento, tutto funzionante, ben fornito, pulito e in pieno centro. Contatto gentile e disponibile per quanto, causa aereo, siamo arrivati quasi a mezzanotte!
Ci sono da fare molte scale e non c'è ascensore, ma è comunque fattibile.
Consigliato caldamente per un soggiorno a Trapani e come base per visitare la Sicilia occidentale.
Apartament przestronny, w samym centrum starego miasta. Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, blisko portu i na plażę. W pobliżu sklep, piekarnia, wypożyczalnia rowerów, kilka kroków do głównych, urokliwych uliczek pełnych barów, sklepów...Mogliśmy doświadczyć jak żyją mieszkańcy Trapani. Pobudkę rano robiła nam czyszczarka zamiatająca ulice i śmieciarka, potem pyszna kawa na dachu - widok obłędny, zakupy w osiedlowym sklepiku - wino musujące za 3 euro/1,5 l, zwiedzanie, plażowanie i podglądnie życia nocnego - okna skierowane prosto na pobliski bar- głośno do 4.00 rano. Po całym dniu wrażeń byliśmy tak zmęczeni, że nie przeszkadzał nam hałas. Dziękujemy za bardzo miły pobyt. Barbara z rodziną.
Pobyt wspominamy bardzo miło. Mieszkanie w samym centrum wszedzie do blisko, do miasta, portu i na plaże. Mieszkanie czyste, dobrze wyposazone : nawet w suszarke do wlosów, w kuchni rzeczy potrzebne do przygotowania posiłków. Klimatyzacja w pokoju przechodnim- dlatego w sypialniach troche duszno a okna trzeba zamykac bo w nocy bywa głośno. Polecam dla 4ech osób lub rodzinki. Nie bylo zadnych problemów z odebraniem czy oddaniem kluczy. Dziekujemy za miły pobyt :)
Mieszkanie przestronne i wygodne na wysokim piątym piętrze bez windy, zapewnia więc zdrowy wysiłek fizyczny.W pełni wyposażona kuchnia i wygodne łóżka, szkoda, że bez wi-fi. Położone w centrum starego Trapani, 10 minut do plaży, w pobliżu sklepy, restauracje, wypożyczalnie samochodów i informacja turystyczna.Polecam!
Zeer ruim appartement in een smal straatje in het centrum van Trapani. De 100 treden klimmen was voor ons geen probleem. Enig minpuntje:niet alle bedden waren even comfortabel.
We hadden er een prima verblijf. dank!

He may be a teen wolf on the small screen, but in real life Tyler Posey is ready to walk down the aisle! Tyler recently confirmed that he will marry his childhood sweetheart Seana Gorlick in the fall of 2014.
Congratulations are in order for Tyler Posey, 22, and his fiancée Seana Gorlick. After becoming engaged last summer, Tyler has announced that he will tie the knot with Seana — whom he's been dating since he was eleven years old — next fall.
Tyler Posey To Marry Seana Gorlick In Fall 2014
Starring in a hit drama is a busy gig, but Tyler told Latina that the big day will still go down next fall.
"We've been very busy, but we've been able to start planning," he told the mag. "A lot of it is just talk. We're writing stuff down. Soon, we're going to get a wedding planner to come to us, and see what we can do. We've got the essentials down: it's going to be sweet and private and personal. Very relaxed… just like our lifestyle. I just can't wait!"
Sounds like Tyler really has his you-know-what together, especially for a 22-year-old! Fellas, take note.
"We went to Hawaii for twelve days, and we'd never been there before," Tyler told HollywoodLife.com last summer; happy to dish about his then-new engagement. "I had the ring on me, but I didn't know if I was going to do it — I didn't have a plan or anything. It was the first night there, we were just hanging out before dinner talking for like an hour, just like, she's my best friend. And I had it hidden in this drawer and I pulled it out one time, and I was so damn nervous I couldn't even smell anything. And I just asked her, and it was the coolest thing in the world. Her reactions was the sweetest — I can't even explain it. It was the best thing in the world!"
Tyler Posey: Focusing On Marriage And 'Teen Wolf'
The only downside to planning a wedding and starring on a hit show at the same time is the lack of ability to really audition elsewhere, but Tyler seems to be pretty okay with it.
"No, [I'm not auditioning] right now," he told Latina. "I was kind of too busy to get other work. For this hiatus, I just tried to take a break, relax, and then I came back toTeen Wolf. I'm not hard out for a job, you know? I've got a steady job, which is great. So, it's not like I'm looking for too many things to do right now, but I'm auditioning for stuff all the time."
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Will Tyler make a strapping groom?

Results may help Merck expand use of Vytorin
The results, reported over the weekend, come from a 9,000 patient study called Sharp, in which Vytorin reduced the incidence of heart attack, stroke, stent procedure or death from cardiac causes by 16.1% compared to placebo. Cancer risk was equivalent to placebo. It's the first trial to show that a statin confers cardiovascular benefits in CKD, which results in a progressive loss of kidney function.
Vytorin prescriptions have fallen significantly since 2008 when Merck released findings of a trial which found that ezetimibe, one-half of Vytorin and also the key ingredient in Merck's Zetia, did nothing to enhance the artery-clearing benefits of simvastatin.
An indication for CKD, though, "may provide an inflection point for growth in the high potency statins," wrote Credit Suisse analyst Catherine Arnold in an investor note. This group includes Vytorin, AstreZeneca's Crestor and Pfizer's Lipitor. None have been shown to provide benefit in CKD.
Arnold, citing data from the Verispan Physician Drug and Diagnosis audit, pointed out that there are about 10 million US patients with stage 3 CKD or worse, only 3% of whom are also diagnosed with hyperlipidemia, "so we suspect very little statin prescribing exists today."
While it would be a victory for Vytorin, getting CKD on-label is not likely to change much in the way of sales, wrote Bernstein Research's Tim Anderson: "Vytorin has lost too much ground already to competing brands (like Crestor) and about a year from now a whole new challenge will emerge in the form of Lipitor generics in the US." His Vytorin sales projection remains unchanged at $1.96 billion in 2010 (4% of total Merck sales), declining to $1.39 billion in 2015 (3% of total Merck sales).
Sharp, which demonstrates Vytorin's LDL-lowering benefit vs. placebo, may also provide some comfort that Improve-IT, a head-to-head trial comparing Vytorin to Zocor (simvastatin), will turn out to be flattering to Vytorin. That trial should report out in 2013.

"The cancer mom," Watson recalls. "Ugh, I still hate the sound
of it."
The Oak Park woman is anything but that dire-straits
description, thanks in part to her two kids. Patrick Heyboer, then
13, and Catherine Heyboer, 11 at that time, even helped their mom
research her treatment options.
"For that part of my life, they pretty much raised themselves
while I dealt with my illness," says Watson, now 53, a food and
fitness guru who owns the Pilates Edge by Kelley studio in Forest
Both kids awoke on their own for school that year, made their
lunches, and returned home to check on their mom. That summer, the
trio went on memory-making road trips together, either hiking,
kayaking, or to the beach in Michigan.
"We became even closer during that time," Watson says. "And they
became closer to each other and more mature in a short time. It was
amazing to watch from my situation."
Watson was "furious" when she learned she had a form of breast
cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ, found in the lining of the
milk ducts. "Not only was I already living a very healthy
lifestyle, but also because there was no family history of this
disease," she says, still somewhat shocked at the diagnosis.
After Watson underwent surgery and eight weeks of radiation
treatment, she experienced a wake-up call about her life, her
lifestyle, and her future choices. The part-time model really
clamped down on avoiding chemicals in her foods, drinks, household
items, cleaning supplies, you name it.
"I became a label reading junkie, and my kids picked up on it,
too," Watson says proudly.
Since then, she has rewritten the label of her own life with a
new goal in mind.
"I want to be an example to other women with breast cancer that
you can still be vibrant, beautiful and a nurturing mother," she
says firmly.
"With our children's help, and their love, we can take control
of our life and our destiny. I'm proof of that," she says. "I feel
better now than I did four years ago, before I was diagnosed. I
want to be the new face of breast cancer survivors."

Re: RwP: Top 5 Movie Flops
From my childhood I fondly recall "The Legend of the Lone Ranger" (1981), which was said by Janet Maslin in the New York Times to be a candidate for the "Heaven's Gate" Hall of Fame. The film somehow failed to make a household name of star Klinton Spilsbury.

Anyone make a reversible leather gun belt?
try the belt man.
I have a 1.5" tapered belt from H.B.E. Specialty LeatherWorks. Eric is a great guy and local to me. I've been using his belt every day for the past 5 yrs with absolutely no issues. Eric is a very talented craftsman. I have many of his holsters and love them all.
I am very happy with my Crossbreed belt. Has the Velcro backing so the clips on holster do not show.
Give this a try...
Hanks Amish Belts ... WOW!
AG Custom Gun Leather
I purchased 511 gunbelt for $30.00 plus tax.I've been wearing it for a year now and it can hold quiet a bit of weight.
I find it still stiff as hell after a year.
Daltech Force. https://www.daltechforce.com/belts/r...ain-bull-hide/
That's the reversible one. I bought a brown dual layer one like this: https://www.daltechforce.com/dual-la...ain-bull-hide/
The price is great at $49, and if you use the code "youtube" you get $5 off. i ordered one Dec. 19 and had it in my mailbox on Dec. 24. And it's GREAT. Made in USA, lifetime warranty. I wanted to buy my last belt this time, and I am pretty sure this one is it.
+1 on 5:11 belts. I have two that are not leather and bend and tuck where necessary. Both are 1.75" belts and have velcro tags on the front. Adjusts up and down for when I expand or contract!!!
Just got my first Bullhide belt. Really nice, good quality, fair price. Most impressive communication and fast turnaround to my door in just a few days. Sizing was simple - just check your jean waist size and add 4 inches. I was nervous about that, but belt at hole 3 with outside leather holster in place - perfect! Highly recommend.
I dig both my Crossbreed belts. Simply, quality, and professional. I can't say enough good things about them.
Been using Ted blocker for 20 years just ordered another yesterday
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
A BETTER BELT USA. 281-414-1110 I have had mine for a few weeks and just love it. Fits great, strong , it could be used for dress also , its that nice.
highnoonholsters.com makes a good belt (and good holsters!). Very rigid and great quality.

Toh Baat Pakki Review
Rajeshwari [Tabu], married to Vinay [Ayub Khan], dreams of getting her sister Nisha [Yuvika Choudry] married to the most suitable boy within their Saxena community. Also, Rajeshwari is against the dowry system. Rajeshwari finds a good Saxena boy studying engineering and has prospects of a promising future. Rahul [Sharman Joshi] is a good proposition for her sister and she even gets him to move into her house as a paying guest.
However, when Rajeshwari learns that Rahul is not interested in marriage, she smartly devices a plan to bring her sister and make them get to know each other. She's confident that once he meets Nisha, there is no turning away. They fall in love. Rajeshwari is happy. Marriage is fixed.
Things take a turn when Yuvraaj [Vatsal Sheth] lands up at Rajeshwari's house. Yuvraaj is also a Saxena. He has a good job and is waiting to move into his house. Rajeshwari can't believe her luck. This is a better prospect. The story takes a turn when Rajeshwari tries to set up Nisha with Yuvraaj.
The problem with most storytellers is, the story they choose may sound convincing at narration level, but what eventually unfolds on screen is half as convincing. On paper, the 4-para synopsis of Toh Baat Pakki holds promise, but the screenplay, spread over two hours, has its share of hiccups.
For instance, the portions depicting Sharman helping Tabu during the marriage celebrations are far from convincing. In fact, the screenplay starts losing its grip from hereon. Even Sharman's attempts to poison Himani Shivpuri and Vatsal Sheth's mind appears childish. Ditto for the abduction drama towards the end. The Sharat Saxena track also looks forced.
Kedarh Shinde's direction holds your attention at a few places only. Especially during Tabu and Sharman's portions towards the first half. But the patchy writing lets him down. Pritam's music doesn't work, except 'Jis Din Mera Byaah'. Dialogues are too flowery at times.
Tabu is a pleasure to watch. She's natural and it must be said that it gets difficult to move your eyes when she's on screen. Sharman, again, is likable and gets it right. Vatsal does fairly well. Yuvika doesn't get much scope. Ayub Khan is passable. Himani Shivpuri and Suhasini Mulay are as usual. Upasna Singh is loud. On the whole, Toh Baat Pakki has a few interesting moments, but not enough to keep you hooked. It will have to rely on a strong word of mouth, especially from family audiences, to stay afloat.

A battle cry to serve those who have served resonates at Vanguard University's Veterans Day Celebration
On Friday, dozens of people gathered in the Veterans Courtyard of Honor at Vanguard University to honor the men and women who have served our country. The Vanguard University Beautyshop
Quartets kicked off the ceremony with their harmonious rendition of the National Anthem.
The theme that emerged throughout the ceremony was one that veterans, their friends, and family know all too well: freedom comes at a price. "Our families know the price of freedom," said Sgt. Frank Orzio, USMC, a pastor at Wounded Warrior Ministries before he gave the invocation. Referencing John 3:16, the price God was willing to pay for the salvation of his people, Orzio talked about how we must remember those valiant warriors who served and ensure that their lives are not wasted.
Sgt. Brent Theobald, a Vanguard University alumnus who is the Director of Veterans Affairs at Vanguard University briefly shared the important role Vanguard University played in his transition after returning from tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq. He reminded the crowd that each year over 30,000 veterans return home to California and that it is our responsibility to help them make this transition a successful one.
President Michael Beals next addressed the crowd, explaining that he's been surrounded by veterans all his life, including his own father, and that their stories of service helped shape his respect for those who served. He emphasized the need to create a safe space for veterans, citing how trips to the Mohave Desert served as that place for his family members, who helped each other to heal. For Beals, the Veterans Resource Center here at Vanguard University is that safe place for student veterans to heal as they make the transition to their vocational calling here at home.
Keynote speaker Dr. Bill Peters, author of First Force Recon Company: Sunrise at Midnight, recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, the Purple Heart and many others, talked about the wounds of war and how they don't always go away with time. In a refreshingly candid speech, he recounted some of his war stories, emphasizing how difficult the transition into civilian life is for so many and how helpful it would have been to have had a place like the Veterans Resource Center at Vanguard in his own transition.
Peters also talked about his experience with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), explaining that it took him 35 years to realize it was real and had affected him and so many of his comrades. "It is difficult in identifying it and doing something about it is really God's heart." Peters ended by commending Vanguard for its willingness "to nurture and to develop that which will really heal our veterans."
A special recognition was given to Vanguard alumnus, Adrian Michael, who worked for four years as a volunteer leader with the Student Veterans Club at Vanguard University. A non-veteran, Adrian dedicated his spare time to serving those who he feels so strongly deserve all of our love and attention. After receiving the award, Michael thanked everyone, and said, "To student veterans, I want to tell you that I love you so much. You have given me such hope and joy to know that I can make a difference. To non-veterans, defend them at all costs. Remind them of their value and that they're loved."
The ceremony ended with the Service Medley, played by the Vanguard Jazz Ensemble. The sound of the crowd's applause as veterans stood for each Branch of the Military's melody was a battle cry for those of us who have not served in the military. Unlike the price God paid for our salvation – a price that cannot be repaid – we can repay our veterans by equipping them with the educational tools they need to become the men and women God designed them to be.

Sensor Signal Conditioning,
PC sensor recording system
For the nonprogrammer, the task of setting up a PC sensor recording system can be at minimum a daunting task. While some devices, like the ROI-USB, may come with pre written software that allows collection of the data in a relative simple fashion; there a number of applications where the simple display and recording of data, even if it is scaled data, may not be enough. Real time calculations such as air flow, or real time specialized plotting such as temperature versus position, are beyond the capabilities of simple menu driven software.
Excel is one of the most widely available data processing programs. It ships pre installed on many PCs or is easily installed by your company IT professional. It is readily available at local business supply vendors, it can be picked up the same day if necessary.
Finding someone who can use it is not difficult at all; Excel is used as a common application by research, sales, administrative, and clerical staff alike.
Excel, a commonly used spreadsheet program, allows a user with business software experience to setup a data collection, and display application; taking advantage of the macros and charting tools available within Excel. It allows a greater flexibility than preconfigured software, and a greater simplicity than using a software development environment.
The connection of a device like the ROI-USB to Excel is made simple in part by using a device server, it allows a simple connection to Excel.
With the ROI-USB; Excel can come alive, with real time readings of environmental data. Keep track of: temperature, pressure, light intensity, and a variety of other parameters; continuously updated real time in Excel.
Setting up a custom data acquisition and monitoring application, can be as simple as; using the sample ROI-USB Excel spread sheet, and adding: charts, bar graphs, formulas, etc.
With ROI-USB-Thermistor values updating in Excel real time, it is very simple to add a multi channel bar graph, to add a "Thermometer" style display to the screen of the PC. All that is needed is to:
1) add a processing formula linked to the measurement cell, such as the Thermistor Voltage to Temperature equation
2) use the chart wizard with the new temperature cells highlighted, to select a column graph
The result is a temperature display updating real time similar to a red liquid thermometer.
The values of the bar chart will update real time. Just as a thermometer changes height with temperature, the bar chart will change height with temperature; creating the effect of a group of virtual thermometers.

So, I am happy to report Ella is down to 15 pounds and holding. She is a lot more active and regularly makes trips to the first floor to check things out and has even taken a couple of exploratory trips down to the basement to visit The Shadow's lair.
Dad is trying to train the dogs to "chase" and "play" with her for exercise purposes, which has only resulted in him being bitten (not severely!) Silly human.
Ella much prefers the company of grandma and grandpa, who are connoisseurs of fat kitty lovins.
Fat kitty also learned a trick! Since we find she is (obviously!) food-motivated, she is now trained to sit for her food on command. Take that, dogs!
So new mom decided to enter Ella into a contest. She has this friend who has TWO morbidly obese kitties of her own, so its kitty boot camp time! (The winner to receive a healthy, skinny kitty!)
Ella has been hard at work on a new diet and exercise plan.
The diet will transition her from her Iams food to a different brand's "weight management" formula, which mom has decided to mix with an indoor formula to keep everything balanced (and hairball free).
Exercise consists (for now) of Ella trying to jump up on the bed. Since she's getting thousands of reps a day in on this, we anticipate no problems in her calorie burning power. However, we would eventually like to get Ella going up and down the stairs in the house and even up on the various unexplored kitty perches by the windows. (There's even a cat-friendly porch roof for sunning.)
Yes, new mom's house is kind of like kitty club med, except for the annoying security system (dogbouncers!)
Thanks for reading ella's guide to evil...which actually thus far has not been so evil. Ella has had an interesting couple of days. Her mouth is getting her into trouble as she tends to "say" inappropriate things at inappropriate times. This is like when your toddler learns a new (bad) word and blurts it out compulsively.....you've been there, right? Conversation goes like so:
Ella, are you hungry? (hiss)
Ella, do you like to be brushed? (purrrrr, hiss!)
El_ (hiss, hiss, hiss)
Ok Ella, you need some alone time obviously. (growl)

I have Kaspersky Pure, and have never run into any virus problems before. I'm running a new Kaspersky update and new scan at this moment.
Does Kaspersky Pure get rid of this virus? If not, what is a safe way to get rid of it? It's similar to the "Google redirect" but the virus on my PC has the Blekko insert in all my new emails.
I am a novice when it comes to viruses and such things.
