Ciudad Perdida (lit. "Lost City") is one of the largest pre-Columbian towns discovered in the Americas. And rightfully so, it is now being mentioned in the same breath as Machu Picchu of Peru. Built on top of a mountainous jungle, high on the northern slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, just 50kms south of Colombia's Caribbean coast, it is considered to have been home to the Tayrona Indians and appears to be their major political and economic center.
The city's origins date back to the 7th century and it is believed that some 2000 to 4000 people were thought to have lived there. Roughly 150 stone terraces, which once served as foundations for the wooden huts used as meeting areas and habitations for the Tayronans, are all that is left of the great city. The central part of the city, which is by far the most awe inspiring, is perched on a ridge from which various stone paths lead down to other terraced areas on lower slopes. In its entirety, the city spans an altitude between 950m to 1300m and a radius of about 4sq km.
During the Spanish conquest, the Tayronan civilization was wiped out and the settlement was left to disappear beneath the thick jungle. For years, it was hidden from the world except for the descendants of the Tayronans, the Kogi Indians who knew of its existence and kept its secret. For 4 centuries, the city was "lost" until its "rediscovery" in 1975 by guaqueros (treasure hunters) who stumbled upon it and began to rob it of the gold, pottery, and semiprecious stones that existed in nearby tombs. Now, the Colombian government is in control of its national treasure and the once great city of the Tayronans is now "accessible" to those who wish to undertake an intense and magnificent 6 day round trip trek uphill into the humid and mountainous jungle, crossing rivers, sleeping under wooden shelters in hammocks, swimming and bathing in streams, and forging new friendships.
"...We pause to gather ourselves and regroup for a final ascent up the dozen or so stone terraces that lead up to the central terrace plateau. It's easy to picture how the jungle must have completely covered the ground we were walking on up until the site was discovered by tomb raiders 30 years ago. Then, almost as if we had stumbled across a lost world rather than a city, we reach the final plateau, immediately humbled and awakened by what our senses can barely absorb. Sitting here in the mystical surroundings, is a rare and special experience; massive stone terraces perched elegantly within the jungle landscape so far removed from civilization, high up on an extremely remote mountain top, amidst a breathtaking canopy of primeval forest covering every slope around us down into the canyon carved by the Buritaca river. And way up here in this remote space, no one interferes with its solemnity, its presence, its mystic air. The animals and native descendants guard it, and we respect it."
"The terraces are all that is left of the great city, and we can only imagine life as it must once have been. We finally drop our bags to lay in the soft grass of the largest terrace, which a long time before may have been the ceremonial and political center of the city. All we can do is lay down to take a moment of rest and absorb our immaculate surroundings while imagining what took place here over a 1000 years ago. And together we decide that life could be better here and perhaps the 3 day return trip should be postponed for a lifetime."
Daily Log: Ciudad Perdida
*Read on for a daily account from our written log, of our 6 day/5 night trek to and from the Lost City.
Day 1 - March 02, 2007
- Join 11 others (2 Germans, 3 Israelis, 2 Irish, 1 Danish, 1 Dutch, 1 American, 1 Australian) on a chiva to El Mamey for the start of a 6 day trek into the jungle to find the Lost City. Chiva breaks down, here we go...join other jeep to village. Jeep goes back for the others, and we find a juice stand for some fresh energy. Meet our guide (Emanuel), our cook (William), and our porter. Start hiking 3 hours up and down to the first encampment. 100% humidity, up steep climbs, white sand, red sand, mosquitoes, mountains, jungle. Emanuel, in his early 50s, walks with a troubled gait ever since he slipped and fell on a previous expedition. Very experienced and still keeps up regardless of the difficulty. Arrive at dusk and go for a swim in river pools in the dark. Refreshing! Delicious chicken for dinner. Deep conversation with Israelis about politics and war. Get to know one another by candlelight. Hop into our moist hammocks protected under mosquito nets. Not so comfortable, kind of chilly. Strange noises throughout the night.
Day 2 - Mar 03
- 6:15 AM rise! Grilled cheese sandwiches and putrid coffee for breakfast. Trek for 4 1/2 hours to "Gabriel's encampment". Nice clearings appear now and then during the hike for splendid views of surrounding slopes. Denser jungle, flatter terrain, easier than yesterday. Encounter a couple of venomous snakes along the way. Stop for a pineapple snack by the river. Arrive at camp at 1:30 pm. Strip down to our swim shorts, and headed down to the river for some serious bathing! Bathed, swam, dived off rocks, cooled off and numbed down our sore muscles. Smoked a fat one with the Germans, Israelis, and Danish. Conversation, comedy, and stench in sweaty proximity. Our cook whips up a hearty soup for lunch. Nice to arrive in the afternoon and relax in the sun amongst peaceful sights and sounds. Anders (Danish) rolls a few more while we all play a game of In My Picnic Basket (who would pack their "favorite costume from Uzbekistan" in their basket by the way?) and Who Am I? Greg (Australian) finally figures out he is "God". Nourishing dinner. A better sleep in hammocks with the peaceful white noise of the Buritaca river below us. Blankets are rather stinky. Find Greg sleeping on the picnic table in the morning because he's had enough of hammocks!
Day 3 - Mar 04 / Onward to the Lost City
- Early rise again, 6AM. Leave camp at 7:30 with lots of energy and excitement as we set off to the Ciudad Perdida. Steep climbs for 3 hours, up, up, up! Amazed by the habits of some of our friends: Timm and Jan (our friendly, Left Wing Germans) still trekking in their flip flops! Anders, the always smiling Dane, carrying only a side satchel containing just a spare shirt, an Andean flute that he so badly wants to master, and tools to roll joints. Andrew and Evelyn (Irish) seem to have a spare set of legs packed somewhere, and seem to be walking on clouds. Maya, Adde, and Tsur (Israelis) entertain us with their stories about the tribulations of Israeli military service. Dick (Dutch) telling us that because he overheard someone say the American President is a real "dick", that we should now call him Richard for the rest of the trek. Greg (Australian) constantly sweating like no man has ever sweat before and busting his ass to prove he's better than Andrew from Ireland. And Francis the American...well, we don't have many nice things to say about Francis, just that he sort-of fits the stereotype. What a friendly and interesting group of people. We feel fortunate to be sharing such a great experience with such amazing and unique individuals. We are amazed by how such close bonds can be made in such short a time with complete strangers from different cultures, different backgrounds.
Encounter 1st river crossing and change from hikers to sandals. Wade in up to our knees using sticks for balance. Feels very refreshing. Cross 9 more times back and forth. Thank god for our Tivas! Rest in a clearing. More pineapples and oranges for snacks. Fill up our water bottles by the fast flowing river. Arrive at the famous stone staircase that leads to the Lost City at the 4 hour mark. Reesh counts all 1991 stairs as we battle our way up. Narrow, moss covered stairs, difficult to negotiate. Eerie to imagine the seemingly tiny feet that had walked the same path centuries ago. Our guide points out a hole that was once a tomb that was robbed. Ashif tells everyone that Reesh is really crazy to be counting all 1991 stairs. Everyone agrees that Reesh is crazy. Calves burning.
Arrive at first set of terraces in utter exhaustion. Fascinating structures. Not done yet. More steps, more terraces. Arrive at the central plateau in a large jungle clearing. Can't believe the view. Giant circular stone terraces topped with green grass almost like tee boxes on a golf course. Plenty of slopes covered with dense vegetation on opposing mountains in all directions. No other tourists. Surreal and unimaginable. Drop our packs and drop down on the main terrace to soak in the feeling.
Explore upper terraces. Head over to our encampment. No hammocks tonight, large wooden shelter with 4 walls and mattresses. Devour lunch. Spend the early evening listening to stories from Emanuel, our guide. He delivers a profound recount of the kidnapping of a group of 8 tourists in 2003 by guerrillas. Can't believe Emanuel was the guide on that trek...are shocked to hear the entire story sitting right here, in the exact same location it happened! Explains how the guerrilla group came to the camp at 4:50am, tied up the guides, and chose the fittest tourists with the best shoes to kidnap. They tied up the rest of the tourists, and the indigenous families living in the nearby village as well. He explains how he freed himself from his ropes, and managed to escort the remaining tourists back down to safety. Jan acts as translator and as night falls, we are all keen on knowing more about the motives and tactics of the guerrillas. Learn that the hostages were released 101 days later, unharmed. No reason except for publicity. Emanuel shows us newspaper clippings containing pictures of him and stories of the event. Quite tense afterwords since we would all be sleeping up in the same area where the kidnappings took place. Guides go to bed. Timm and Jan teach us all a German game called Werewolves. Hilarious, cut throat, and a lot of fun. Lay under our mozzie nets on our mattresses and play a couple of more games in the dark. Sleep and wait for 4:50am to pass without any incident!
Day 4 - Mar 05 / Tour of Ciudad Perdida, Trek back to camp 2.
- Ashif wakes up to realize he left his spare pants and a pair of boxers in the outhouse at the previous camp. What now? Beautiful morning view of hills and jungle around Ciudad Perdida. Lovely tour of the main terraces of the ancient city. Learn how most terraces were foundations for the wooden homes. Understand the political and economic systems of the Tayronans. Learn how the central plateau was the sector used for ceremonies and celebrations. Men and women used to sleep in separate houses. We learn that to the Tayronans, sex was not to be performed as a nocturnal activity and must be done in the fields during the day so that children wouldn't be born blind! Descend along lateral slopes to discover more terraces and various sectors of the city cleared from the jungle. A massive settlement indeed. Learn how the Spanish destroyed the habitants by simply cutting off trade routes to the coast, and introducing foreign germs that the natives did not have antibodies to fight. Climb to the highest terrace on the central plateau and capture gorgeous views of the lower terraces (one of which is used as a helicopter landing pad for those willing to fork out the cash and unwilling to conquer the trek) with their circular stone layers, topped with green grass and surrounded by a spectacular mountain/jungle landscape.
Lunch. Begin our hike back down, down, down. Millions of steps to descend. Seems like forever. Hiking stick helps as knees feel sore. Long day. Hard to keep going. Forget to turn off at final river crossing, climb over large boulders. Lost. Emanuel spots us from a height and gets us back on the right trail. Finally arrive at Gabriel's encampment at 6pm, 5 hours from the Lost City. No sign of Ashif's pants or underwear. Stolen by a porter from another group. Shower in the dark and chow down. Smoke up. Reesh gets sleepy and Ashif gets "stupid" with Anders as they discuss the merits of Michael Jackson's efforts to cover his children in masks when facing the public. Comfy sleep in cozy hammocks!
Day 5 - Mar 06
- Lazy morning. Sit by the river pool and enjoy the waterfall. Relax, swim, bathe. Knees feel shot. Enjoy a coke at a plantation owner's house. Arrive at camp around 1:30pm. Run down to river for a swim. Dive in from 5 meter height! Thrilling and refreshing. Use rope to get ourselves back up and out. Difficult. Decide with a handful of the others to hire an 18 year old farmer to guide us into a narrow, overgrown, off track ravine near his plantation about 20 minutes from the camp. The destination, a small laboratory for processing one of Colombia's largest exports. We received quite an education indeed. (Sorry, no details here...it all stays in our written log).
Played more Werewolf at night. Ashif can't seem to get a chance to be a werewolf. Anders keeps killing Ashif. Everyone knows Reesh is a werewolf. Greg goes nuts and begins to take game a little too seriously. Strange night.
Day 6 - Mar 07 / Final steps
- Final day. Only 2 1/2 hours until the end. Long uphill climb right at the start. Painful, but a good challenge. Exhausted from the heat. Steep downhill sections. Return to the village of El Mamey at 11:30am. Celebrate our accomplishment with massive "jugos" (fruit juice). Play Shithead while sipping our exotic nourishment. Dirty. Tired. 2 hour Chiva bus ride back through long dusty jungle road to Santa Marta. Lunch with all. Bid farewell to our new close friends. Probably will never see them again. Receive invitations to visit Germany, Ireland, Israel and stay with new friends. Back to beautiful and relaxing Taganga village on the sea. Waste not a single moment to jump into the ocean and float weightless. Get Tata to sanitize our clothes for a couple of pesos. Pizzas and cervezas for dinner. Feeling accomplished and happy to have scuba dived in the Caribbean of Colombia and trekked into the jungle to its remote and ancient gem...Ciudad Perdida.
- Trek to Cuidad Perdida can be arranged from Santa Marta or Taganga. Magic Tur in Taganga charges the same price as the Turcol office in Santa Marta, but the bonus is that you get a free T-shirt with the inscription..."estuve en Cuidad Perdida, Colombia" which is pretty cool. Taganga is also a much nicer place to spend your time than the big city of Santa Marta.
- Cost: 460,000 pesos, or about $210 USD. This includes 6 days trekking, guides, cook, porter, and hammocks (you need to carry your own personal items). Three meals and some snacks are included. Each site has blankets available, as it can get kind of chilly. Reserve yours as soon as you arrive at camp. You also need sandals, as there are many river crossings.
- Although the food is more than enough for the entire group, it's a great idea to bring your own set of snacks for each day of the trek, to give you a little more energy as there are not many snack breaks along the way. Juice crystals are also nice to have to give you a flavourful change to the water. You need your own water container, 1.5L bottle per person is plenty.
- Drinking water is all routed up through pipes from the Rivers near the campsites. It is safe to drink and you can also refill from the fast flowing river sources along the way. Out of 14 people in our group, no one got a case of the runs...except the American.
- There is a small school along the way (1st day?) which would probably be happy to receive some supplies like pens, pencils and scribblers. You can pop in and say hello to the children.

Lead in Famous Black Mold Case
I worked as the lead industrial hygienist for the defense, completing the mold sampling investigation, assessment report, and remediation protocol for the Ballard residence in Dripping Springs, Texas. The case (Mary Melinda Ballard et. al. vs. Fire Insurance Exchange) became known as the famous "toxic black mold case." The primary mold of concern was Stachybotrys, a black mold. As Project Manager, I led multiple investigations of the home. I completed several written reports that were defended in depositions. I gave testimony at a Grand Jury and at two depositions. (There are numerous articles on the internet regarding this case.)
20 Years with Forensic Firm
Prior to forming D. Bridge Environmental, LLC, I conducted investigations as a full-time employee for Rimkus Consulting Group, Inc. (Rimkus), a respected engineering/forensic firm with over twenty offices. During my 20 years at Rimkus, I conducted investigations involving many types of indoor and outdoor contaminants, including mold, bacteria, soot, smoke, and other pollutants found in indoor air, and in outside properties. Many of these projects began as or turned into legal projects, requiring unique skills for completing document reviews, field investigations, data analyses, and written reports.
20+ Years as Expert Witness
I have testified at arbitrations, mediations, depositions and court trials. Projects have involved mold, bacteria, soot/smoke damage, water damage, and human exposures involving residential and workplace situations. I have conducted many investigations and written numerous reports for attorney clients.
Contact Me for More Information
Please use the form below. I will get back to you shortly.
I have performed hundreds of mold investigations. These investigations have included commercial buildings, school buildings, hospitals, apartment complexes, hotels, motels, and residences. I was the lead industrial hygienist for the defense during the famous "toxic black mold case".
I have conducted post-hurricane water/mold damage surveys in large buildings in Houston and New Orleans. I have also given peer-reviewed presentations on sampling and analysis of mold in buildings.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
I have investigated buildings with air quality problems related to Sick Building Syndrome, mold, bacteria, odor, humidity, particulates, volatile organics, and aldehydes. My investigations have included commercial buildings, school buildings, hospitals, apartment complexes, hotels, motels, and residences.
I have conducted many investigations in residences and commercial buildings for the purpose of determining the extent of smoke damage due to wildfires and internal fire events. The investigations have involved building contents, building structural components and interior surfaces, and HVAC systems. Often the conclusions of such studies can make a large difference in the cost of remediation. For example, after investigating internal fire smoke damage in a warehouse, laboratory analysis of smoke damage residuals, extracted from bulk samples of promotional items, saved the client from destroying millions of dollars of inventory.
I have investigated many homes in Arizona, California and Texas that were potentially damaged by wildfire smoke. The sampling techniques and laboratory analytical methods provide an accurate means for determining if a residence received smoke contamination from a wildfire. I also gave a peer-reviewed presentation on the analysis of data collected from wildfire sites.
I have conducted many investigations of black soot in commercial buildings and residences. These investigations typically involve identification of the source as well as recommended actions to eliminate/remediate the contaminant
Problematic (Chinese) Drywall
I have conducted sampling for indoor sulfur gases, evidence of corrosion, and chemicals in gypsum board, in many homes potentially contaminated by sulfur gases released from Chinese drywall. The projects have been in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. I have presented a seminar on investigating homes for Chinese drywall to legal professionals.
Human Exposure (Chemicals & Particulates)
I have conducted field sampling investigations for specific chemicals such as quaternary compounds and sulfur dioxide and later provided testimony concerning my findings and conclusions. I have also performed sampling for particulates including airborne asbestos, fiberglass particles, and nuisance dust.

I am thrilled at this opportunity to contribute to a Long Island that is both economically and environmentally sustainable, while providing our talented Touro Law Center students with more opportunities to serve their local communities and develop their skills as lawyers.
The Institute on Land Use and Sustainable Development Law, in partnership with the planning, development, and environmental communities of Long Island, fosters greater understanding of local land use law, environmental law and public policy by providing a forum for dialogue as well as resources such as model laws, best practice commentaries, and training and education for lawyers and the larger community.
The Institute's focus on Long Island provides the perfect opportunity to train students and contribute to the critical needs of the Law Center's community. Land use and sustainability law provides one of the most effective means—if not the most effect means—for addressing some of Long Island's pressing social concerns, including climate change and natural disaster resiliency; the creation of thriving urban centers and mainstreets; affordable housing for seniors, workers, and others; and the management of water resources, including storm water, waste water, and drinking water.
As I embark on this new chapter at the Law Center, I am honored to follow in the footsteps of Judge Leon Lazer, the longtime leader of these efforts at the Law Center, and to work with the support of a distinguished Advisory Board and dedicated group of Faculty Affiliates, as well as national land use law expert Dean Patricia Salkin.

Pros / VIP Task Manager Professional has a great contact management system built in.
Cons / The interface of the application is unappealing but the functionality works fine.
Verdict / A great application for keeping track of personnel and their timesheets.
Editor's Note: This review has been removed from our side-by-side comparison because it no longer fits the criteria for our lineup. The original review is below, but check out our current top products about Scheduling Software here.
VIP Task Manager comes with a full complement of features for time management, project management and contact management. The smart toolbars provides flexibility, but is difficult to restore the interface to its original state.
This review is based on the client side of things. VIP Task Manager Professional is intended for corporate use. The interface is not that attractive, but the underlying functionality and ease use overshadows the lack of color. The intended audience is from educational, government, remote workers and work groups. Column headers are a bit crowded in the task list pane, which is the default pane. The software is designed without unnecessary whistles and bells.
Client Experience
VIP Task Manager is a high end product and can be more difficult, but is best used for teamwork. Where coordinating tasks between (often remote) workers is a priority, VIP Task Manager comes to the rescue. As a business solution it offers desktop use, use over a network or even across the internet. Regarding task management VIP Task Manager Professional version scheduling software offers the following:
- Create custom fields as well as to change color of priority.
- Create custom fields in order to determine costs or perform other calculations of a specific task. This feature is ideal for determining costs of material and labor.
- Different views of calendar.
- A tree view breaks down a project in detail.
- Calendar, Task Tree and Task List modes assists you in organizing tasks, which help to integrate the work group into one team.
- Document sharing allows you to have the latest version of a specific document.
Administrative Tools & Experience
Importing data from Microsoft Outlook is enabled, as well as data from previously saved VIP Task Manager Professional databases. Data can be saved in the database, with exporting functions to software such as Excel and Internet Explorer (or other Web Browsers). The best task management solutions such as VIP Task Manager allows you to handle simple tasks and to streamline organizing the task flow. The process manager allows the task flow to become part of the process, which is tracked by the Process Manager. The Process Manager can control multiple processes, by providing the necessary tools.
The idea of a paperless office comes to mind evaluating VIP Task Manager. The need for document exchange within a team allows you to:
- Identify problems and bottlenecks.
- Eliminate the need for a separate document server.
- Have relevant documents at hand for every task.
VIP Task Manager provides the essential tool for every organized person and profitable business. Replacing a paper calendar with a calendar tool show all the tasks in a flexible and reasonably attractive way. The calendar maps your time relating to specific tasks either personal or professional. The problem is that not all calendars support multiple users, but VIP Task Manager allows a client server structure, which allows sharing of information on the calendar.
The electronic sharing of information is an essential tool, which is fast (real time) and effective. VIP Task Manager will keep up with happenings within the organization and work group. In practice problems can be identified well in advance, by staying in touch. This feature is a very strong management tool. By using a few minutes a calendar can be prepared which in part the work team will use. This includes a few steps:
- A list of tasks, which are important, should be created.
- Priorities should be set.
- Determine if there are any subsequent tasks as result of the first.
- Set the required task duration.
- Share it with the work group.
Program Integrations
The shortcuts needed are sufficient for everyday use organizing tasks. The use of the Tab Key is also useful allowing you to easily switch between different fields of interest. VIP Task Manager Professional scheduling software is also available in foreign languages such as German, French, Dutch, Norwegian, Croatian and Russian.
VIP Task Manageris easy to install. Several installation options are provided since there are server and client applications. Both can run from a single stand-alone personal computer. Tasks during installation include setting up a database (and its location), finding the server and restarting the operating system. It is recommended that the option to start with windows automatically should be selected. This eases finding the server. Even where both the server and client are installed on a single machine, VIP Task Manager Professional is light on system resources.

3 Doors Down
Us And The Night With Autographed CD Booklet
In late 2014, 3 Doors Down—Brad Arnold [lead vocals], Chris Henderson [lead and rhythm guitar], Greg Upchurch [drums], Chet Roberts [lead and rhythm guitar], and Justin Biltonen [bass]— wrapped up a marathon of touring that included the cycles for 2011's Time of My Life, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200, and The Greatest Hits, a year later. Along the way, they welcomed Chet and Justin into the fold in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Us And The Night would make for their first studio experience together and formally open up a new chapter for the group.
"The creativity between the five of us hadn't been tapped yet," explains Chris. "That made the whole process really interesting because everybody was bringing different ideas to the table. The boundaries totally opened up. Chet and Justin kept pushing and pushing, and none of us wanted to stop."
"This couldn't be just another 3 Doors Down record," adds Brad. "It needed to be an album that made people take a second look and listen."
That's exactly what the first single "In The Dark" does. With a raucous, raw, and rowdy riff, the track shows an unexpected and undeniable side of the band, culminating during the chorus, "She likes to do it in the dark."
"We've never had a sexy, playful song," smiles Brad. "There was definitely a place for it. It's about seeing that girl across the room. I initially played the idea for my wife, and she smiled, 'I like that.' I knew we had to go for it!"
"Living In Your Hell" teeters between a drum stomp and robust guitars before an arena-size refrain. "It's about broken promises," Brad goes on. "So many people tell you they have your back, and it's just lie. You end up living in hell from their broken promises."
Meanwhile, "The Broken" delivers an immediately unshakable chant complete with gang vocal, handclaps, and a swinging synth melody. "It's a call to the youth," exclaims the singer. "It's not about taking everything down; it's about building everything up. This is an empowering call-to-arms for the next generation to take back the world. Use your voice."
Unified, unbreakable, and undeniable, 3 Doors Down remain poised for their boldest moment yet. This promise even stands encapsulated within the very title.
"Us And the Night means, 'Let's just keep going until it's just us left,'" Brad leaves off. "It's an 'us against them' song. The world's problems don't have to stop us. Let's forget about them, stop worrying, and enjoy the ride together. It's an invitation to fans everywhere to do the same."

Help with Replacing a Roof in Arizona where the AC Unit is mounted on the Roof !
Hi, My parents need their roof replace in Sun City Arizona and I have only done Northeast Roofs. In Arizona their Central A C Unit is on the roof held there on a mounting bracket. I have no idea how to get the old roof off and how to get my Water and Ice paper and new shingles under this very heavy and bulky Roof-Mounted Central Air Conditioner Unit ?
If someone out there can talk me through this step by step or has a sequence of step by step photos from a manual this would help me a great deal because I am going out to Sun City, Arizona on May 29, 2010 to start stripping off the old roof and I have no idea how to deal with this AC Unit mounted on the roof !
If someone out there can help me strip the roof on Saturday afternoon May 29th, 2010 ( after 1:00pm ) and Sunday, May 30th, ( I'll be there in Sun City Arizona May 29 pm until Friday, June 4th) and help me get the Water / Ice paper under the Air C Unit and the new Shingles under there, that would be great. I would pay you under the table for helping me and you would have any equipment you need to help strip the roof with me and to lift / deal with the AC Unit.
Let me know guys,
I would pay you under the table for helping me
What is the big deal? Can you post a pic?
just like you put on your pants in the morning...one leg at a time
If you cannot reach under the AC unit (like it is on legs) to hand him the envelope of cash, then you won't be able to reshingle under it without removing it first.
The good news: The old shingles under the AC unit are probably not in bad condition as they did not get bleached from the sun.
The body of the AC unit can be made into part of the roofing system by lapping up the roofing materials against it and using roofing cement. This won't work if the unit has louvers on top that catch the rain and then let the rain drain down directly under it. Also this won't work if the unit needs air flow under it to operate.
Shingles? in Sun City, AZ? I've only seen flat roofs and trailers out there. If it is a thatched roof, the shingles are probably still good. If you are replacing the roof, why not rubberize instead? Cheaper, easier, cooler, and will protect against leaks better.

Fairley new furnace needs help
This is my first time here. Please help!
I am having a problem with my furnace, when I kick the heat up the Induced fan comes on, after 30 seconds the burner comes on then gos out again, after about 30 seconds it comes on again then gos out again, it will not stay lit long enough for the blower motor to come on. If anyone has any
suggestions it would be very much appreciated.
It sounds like a dirty or faulty flame sensor. You can try cleaning the sensor with steel wool to see if that corrects the problem. The sensor is usually a steel rod sitting in the flame of the last burner with a single wire going to it.
Yep, as cjett said it's usually the flame sensor when it does that.
Thank you for you help, I will try that tonight
Thank you for all your help, I cleaned the sensor and so far it seams to be working fine
Glad to hear you have heat.

Warm weather spurs dozens of wildfires
The wonderful weather over the weekend turned problematic for firefighters across the region, and the threat is not over yet.
The Department of Agriculture blames the weather conditions for helping spread dozens of wildfires over the past few days.
Since Thursday, 30 wildfires have burned nearly 1,000 acres in East Tennessee. Most were blamed on debris fires getting out of control, but investigators say eight of the fires were arson. Those fires account for nearly half of the burned land.
High winds and low humidity are being blamed for helping them spread.
There's a chance for high winds again Monday, with gusts of up to 17 miles per hour plus low humidity.
Most counties in East Tennessee are not issuing burn permits Monday; before you burn anything, call your local division of forestry office first.

J. Edgar Movie Quotes
68 votes 33 voters 16k views 8 items tags
'J. Edgar' movie quotes include some of the best lines uttered by this Clint Eastwood-directed 2011 drama movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the title character, former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. Most of these quotes are from Hoover himself, as he leads the Bureau with an iron fist. Love him or hate him (and really, Hoover is among the most controversial figures in American history), 'J. Edgar' strives to paint a portrait of the man as he changes the course of how the U.S. protects its citizens from threats. If you don't see your favorite 'J. Edgar' quote on this list, add it. And if you spot a quote that you really like, vote it up (or down, if you hate the line).
'J. Edgar' also stars Armie Hammer (as Hoover's second in command, Clyde Tolson), Naomi Watts, Jeffrey Donovan, Ed Westwick and Judi Dench. The film is based on a script by Dustin Lance Black ('Milk').
For more great 2011 movie quotes, check out these pages for the best lines from 'Tower Heist,' 'The Rum Diary, 'The Ides of March,' 'Moneyball,' 'Red State' and '50/50.'

Sky Bet did not respond to questions about why the site was taken down, although we would, uh, bet that Apple's in-house legal team was all over this (that is a bet we would probably win!). While the company, which is part of British Sky Broadcasting Group, focuses on sports, it does take wagers on the outcome of reality shows and political affairs.
Before the site was pulled, the heavy favorite was that the third generation of Apple's tablet would not have a microSD slot (1 to 50), and that the device would not launch with a Samsung-esque AMOLED display (1 to 25). In case you were wondering, the odds were 1 to 8 that the Apple iPad 3 would come to market with a Retina display. You can check some of the other odds by looking at the screenshot below. The Apple iPad 3 is expected to be introduced on March 7th.

Interview: Max Frost
Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:20:27
You might just fall in love with Max Frost as soon as you hear him. His EP, Low High Low [iTunes link], has that kind of magnetic soul charm that's a hallmark of all superstars. His voice immediately resonates, while the songs themselves prove unshakable. It's a dynamic and diverse offering, introducing one of the most exciting new artists of 2013.
In this exclusive interview with ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino, Max Frost talks Low High Low and so much more.
What ties Low High Low together for you?
With this EP, I was really trying to make something that had coherence, but also give a little bit more of a rounded taste of all the things I've been doing and plan on doing in the future. Initially, I set out to make an EP of five songs that were all big bangers. Then, I thought, "There are going to be so many slots for things like that on the record, I'd rather the EP have some more revealing things on it that cover more genre flavors". The theme of it is the Low High Low thing. That's what I feel like connects it. The songs are either on one end or the other of the emotional spectrum. There aren't a lot of midpoint vibes. Certain songs, I don't know if I'd call them lows or highs. As far as coherence and what glues the songs together, I feel it's around the theme of the Low High Low thing. I'm looking at the record as the future of everything.
"Suspended Animation" stood out. What's the story behind that?
I'm really glad to hear someone say that. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to know you're into that one. I'm always worried "White Lies" is the only song people will want to talk about. I don't want to say "Suspended Animation" is about a specific person, but it is in a way. I was trying to describe or write about a phase in my life. It's something I feel a lot of people in my generation have hit in high school or early college. It's a dormant state of hypnosis. It's about a guy who's sitting around his house and is almost frozen in a state of what might be fear or lack. I've never really understood how people live like that for that long. I even have some friends who have been in that status for years. How do you maintain that? How do you not have an urge to get out of your house? On a simple, it's about homebodies or whatever. On a deeper level, I'm posing questions for myself about what keeps a person like that from being motivated. How is it that a human comes to exist like a sloth? Is that from being afraid of something? People have different reasons. That's more of a topic-based song. I'm asking those questions. When I started writing that tune, I felt like it was a cool thing to focus around. I don't hear a lot of music focused around that. The chorus is a direct message to those kinds of people. You have to keep moving on.
Where did "Be Who You Want to Be" come from?
That was one of those songs that came easily and quickly. I was almost writing it as an exercise. I made it right before I made "White Lies". I was going for a Stevie Wonder vibe that day with making the track. I wanted to write a song that was carefree but positive. In a way, it connects to "Suspended Animation". Live your life how you want to live it and not by anyone else's laws or what you've been taught. That's something I've tried to do for most of my life. So far, it's sort of worked out [Laughs]. I think of that one as a groove.
What artists shaped you?
My parents played a lot of old school music. Coming up in Texas as a guitarist, I was a blues fanatic. Probably my first huge hero was Stevie Ray Vaughan. I was obsessed with the blues. Growing up in the mid-nineties, Eminem was a big deal. Mainly, that was because my parents told me not to listen to him. I got into more hip-hop when I was 17 or so. Everything about Erykah Badu seemed like it was from nowhere on the planet. As humans or artists, we steal a lot of things. The act of singing or playing is almost imitation. Stevie Ray just wanted to be Albert King. He happened to play and sing different, and he turned into Stevie Ray Vaughan.
If Low High Low were a movie or a combination of movies, what would you compare it to?
I love that question. The movie I immediately gravitate to is Fight Club because it's really gritty, but it's really cerebral. Those are two things I would connect to what's going on with the record and the way I'm writing songs in general now.

This morning four of us arrived at Church House to present our 'evidence' to the House of Bishops Working Group chaired by Sir Joseph Pilling. We were asked to introduce ourselves and then to present our 'evidence', based on our submission to the group. We over-ran our allotted 20 minutes, unfortunately.
Joe Pilling then talked about his experience in the senior echelons of the civil service when he was advising government ministers to be persuasive when they spoke, tailoring their remarks with the intention of persuading hearers to their point of view. He accused Changing Attitude and the groups who had presented 'evidence' on Wednesday of being incompetent because we had made so little effort to be persuasive.
He thought CA was tactically inept because in our submission we accuse our opponents (and all conservative 'orthodox', 'traditional' groups, he implied) of being homophobic.
I don't think our submission does this, and it wasn't our intention, but no matter, that's what Sir Joe thinks – why? Sir Joe seems to have taken our submission personally, as if we were accusing him of being homophobic.
He asked me to comment. I said I thought he was transposing his model and his experience of working in the civil service into the Church of England context without examining whether it was appropriate to the culture of the Church of England. I could have said more but I refrained. I have learnt that the culture of the Church of England at the centre, in Church House, the Archbishops' Council and the House of Bishops, is very peculiar. It is of course, heavily male-dominated. It is also exempt from critical parts of equality legislation, unlike the civil service.
What do I understand from this opening exchange? That groups such as Reform and Anglican Mainstream, which are opposed to the full, open, equal and transparent inclusion of LGB&T people in the Church of England are not to be understood as prejudiced, anti-gay or homophobic but as living in accordance with the orthodox, Biblical, historical position which until now the Church has always held in relation to homosexuality.
Changing Attitude calls this a prejudiced reading of the texts and misreading of history which results in homophobia and a negative attitude towards a group of people because of their sexuality, a group which has to be listened to in a specialised way, apparently.
There is one other moment in the hour we spent with the group that I want to highlight, something that exemplifies to me the unexamined homophobia or prejudice within the group. The Bishop of Gloucester (who is gay friendly) said that one of the groups they had met the day before, a group which argues against our position (so it's Reform) had submitted as part of their evidence a document produced by Changing Attitude.
The document in question proved to be the Sexual Ethics report produced by the Lesbian and Gay Clergy Consultation published for them by Changing Attitude and available on our web site because we think it is an important contribution to the Church's thinking about sexual ethics. It was produced 9 years ago and it does not represent Changing Attitude's considered 2012 position.
The passage quoted by Bishop Michael was the one repeatedly used by Lisa Nolland of Anglican Mainstream to attack Changing Attitude's ethical position.
I think what Reform has done in submitting a document from a pro-gay organisation as part of their submission is unethical and unchristian. Actually, I think it stinks – of homophobia.
Changing Attitude's submission presented our position. It did not attack others and it never crossed our minds to used documents produced by conservative groups as a means of attacking them.
What Reform has done exemplifies what is so totally wrong with the Church of England and with the process being followed by Sir Joe in the House of Bishops Working Group. They were set on a false track even before they stated by those who selected the members of the group and formed its working model – 'evidence' based.
All the group members had received a copy of the Reform submission, with the Sexual Ethics Report assumed to have been produce by Changing Attitude. Why did none of them question the use of the Report in this way by Reform? It's the apparent inability of the group to be aware of such obvious abuse and the basic questions it raises that left me feeling despondent after our presentation.
Dr Robert Song asked a good question about the Listening Process which we had little time to answer. But the listening process was 1998 and Church and society have moved so far beyond where we were then that Changing Attitude has little motivation to re-engage now.
The Bishop of Gloucester asked what two practical suggestions might they make which would make a real difference to us. My answer – to give approval to praying with faithfully committed lesbian and gay Christian couples and giving thanks for civil partnerships in Church, with joyful celebration and affirmation.
Today's email from WATCH thanking people for signing their petition and asking for prayers that the bishops and all those who will be taking part in General Synod will hear the voices of the many thousands who are quietly despairing of the national church.
Friend in WATCH, you are not alone. Quietly despairing is how those trustees and supporters of Changing Attitude are feeling this evening on the evidence of today's hearing in Church House.

Show synopsis For twenty years, Annie Colwater has lived the safe, affluent Malibu life with her lawyer husband and talented daughter. But on the morning her daughter goes away to college, husband Blake announces he's in love with another woman and wants a divorce. Devastated, Annie returns to her childhood home, a logging village on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington, and soon volunteers to take care of young Izzie Delacroix, daughter of Nick, a girlhood flame of Annie's. His wife, Annie's childhood friend, committed suicide, leaving Nick with a drinking problem and Izzie mute, believing she's disappearing piece by piece. Annie's dad Hank can't believe Annie would so quickly enmesh herself with such a dysfunctional family, and Annie can hardly believe it either, but she's doing the only thing she knows how to do: love and take care of others. In Izzie, she sees herself: she too lost her mother at a young age; she too learned to silence her inner voice. In knowing and healing Izzie, Annie comes to know and heal herself and to demand from Nick the responsibility she never asked of her own husband. Unlike Blake, Nick rises to the occasion, and as Nick and Annie and Izzie stitch an odd patchwork family out of their separate lives, Nick and Annie fall passionately in love. Then a bolt out of the blue strikes, and Annie must make an agonizing choice that will test her new found courage and show her the high cost of playing it safe.

BeschreibungFollowing the great success of the earlier books, this fourth book in the Mathematics Recovery series equips teachers with detailed pedagogical knowledge and resources for teaching number to 7 to 11-year olds.
Drawing on extensive programs of research, curriculum development, and teacher development, the book offers a coherent, up-to-date approach emphasising computational fluency and the progressive development of students' mathematical sophistication. The book is organized in key domains of number instruction, including structuring numbers 1 to 20, knowledge of number words and numerals, conceptual place value, mental computation, written computation methods, fractions, and early algebraic reasoning.
Features include:
" fine-grained progressions of instruction within each domain;
" detailed descriptions of students' strategies and difficulties;
" assessment tasks with notes on students' responses;
" classroom-ready instructional activities;
" an accompanying CD with extensive instructional resources.
This book is designed for classroom and intervention teachers, special education teachers and classroom assistants. The book is an invaluable resource for mathematics advisors and coaches, learning support staff, numeracy consultants, curriculum developers, teacher educators and researchers.
PortraitDr Robert J. (Bob) Wright holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in mathematics from the University of Queensland (Australia) and a doctoral degree in mathematics education from the University of Georgia. He is an adjunct professor in mathematics education at Southern Cross University in New South Wales. Bob is an internationally recognized leader in assessment and instruction relating to children's early arithmetical knowledge and strategies, publishing four books, and many articles and papers in this field. His work over the last 20 years has included the development of the Mathematics Recovery Program which focuses on providing specialist training for teachers to advance the numeracy levels of young children assessed as low-attainers. In Australia and New Zealand, Ireland, the UK, the USA, Canada, Mexico and elsewhere, this program has been implemented widely and applied extensively to classroom teaching and to average and able learners as well as low-attainers. He has conducted several research projects funded by the Australian Research Council including the most recent project focusing on assessment and intervention in the early arithmetical learning of low-attaining 8-10-year-olds.
Pressestimmen'This is the must-have resource our teachers have been waiting for! Developing Number Knowledge transforms an extensive body of research and field testing into a practical guide of assessments and instructional activities designed especially for older elementary students.

Multimedia Gateways Provide Tools for Educators, Challenges for IT Departments
New Oberon Enclosure Line Protects Apple TV®, Roku®, and the Google TVTM platform ¬in Classrooms and Conference Environments
Sharing information wirelessly with participant devices has multiple benefits. Materials can be made available on the listener's own devices, making them easy to access when needed. Incorporating images or video into a discussion can make the content more meaningful for those with visual learning styles. Interactive materials can gather data instantly or build a sense of community as observers take on a more active role in discussions.
When an educator or presenter integrates multimedia material into courses, it is vital that the technology be available when it is needed. However, the popularity of products such as the Apple TVTM make them likely targets for theft or damage. These technologies require a more open placement to work properly, and as a result, are more difficult to secure. By its very nature, a multimedia gateway cannot be locked in the podium. The gateway must be "visible" to all participants for the IR controller and wireless connectivity to function. The gateway should also be close to the projector or monitor to minimize the length of the HDMI cable (HDMI cables greater than 5 meters in length are very expensive, and may require a powered HDMI extender). The multimedia gateway must be powered, network-connected, and secured.
Oberon, a leading producer of wireless and telecommunications enclosures, has announced a new line of secure mounts to assist the education and conference industries in securing multimedia gateways. The new Multimedia Gateway Enclosures line will allow these popular devices to be mounted in a suspended ceiling setting in the area where they are needed, providing both security and good line-of-sight between the multimedia gateway and the devices connecting to it. The new mounts are UL-listed for use in the plenum space. Model 1075 is a ceiling tile insert; Model 1077 is a ceiling tile replacement. Both come with a choice of clear polycarbonate cover for multimedia gateways or white ABS plastic cover for wireless access points. The Model 1074 holds up to 2U rack-mounted network equipment with attachment points for the user's choice of universal projector mounts. By keeping vital technology secure and placed where it will work best in a classroom or conference setting, the new Oberon enclosures will help to ensure that educators are able to make reliable use of presentation and interaction technologies.
A video featuring the new products is available at http://www.youtube.com/

- " Wonderful location. It was a little difficult to meet people within the hostel because there were no real hang out areas. This hostel also seemed a little pricey compared to the value and location but perhaps Paris is just an expensive city to stay in. The facilities were a little cramped and there was no air condition in my room. "

"Figure It Out" at GASP in Brookline (362 Boylston Street; through June 21), the first show there to take advantage of its recently expanded exhibition space, riffs on figure painting and human relationships. Much of the work is so-so, but a couple of artists stand out. Lucy Beecher Nelson of Cambridge has a pair of realist oil paintings inspired by a photo album of her mother's family trip to Austria in the '60s. Renderings of apartment buildings in winter and a couple in what appears to be a hotel room are pared down and crisp, the colors subdued. Then there's Lucy, a 13-foot-wide portrait of nine standing women who the artist says all share the name Lucy. The artist herself is at the far right. The women are life-size, so they feel curiously present in the room with you. And all but one stare out, meeting your gaze.
Anne-Margot Ramstein of Jamaica Plain has three precise doodly drawings depicting annotated landscapes and maps on top of brains sliced in half. Ramstein's metaphor for thinking and communication is too literal, but her drawing and her strange merging of landscape and brains are catchy.
LAMONTAGNE GALLERY, which opened in Fort Point a year ago and moved to South Boston in January, presents "Lia Halloran: Dark Skate" and "Michael Velliquette: Exotica" (555 East Second Street, South Boston; through June 21). The LA-based Halloran takes long-exposure photos of herself skateboarding through nighttime skate parks or city streets with a light attached to her wrist. In the photos, she disappears but leaves glowing white lines swooping and zigzagging through the air. I want the lines to convey the rush of skateboarding, but instead they feel gimmicky, like X-treme Jackson Pollock action painting. Her related paintings of disembodied skate parks are dashing — she can paint — but she doesn't convince me that I should care about her subject.
Velliquette of Madison, Wisconsin, makes bright shaggy cut-paper pictures of hands holding flames, dreamy exotic birds, and bug-eyed monsters with rainbow fur. They're charming, and her craft impresses, but it's a forced attempt at being weird and symbolic, and the imagery feels generic.
Just down the street at PROOF, which opened last September, Bostonian Katie Hargrave's The Freedom Trail: Economic and Cultural Pilgrimage (516 East Second Street, South Boston; through June 21) mulls the development, evolution, and marketing of Boston's Freedom Trail in a series of podcasts (download atwww.katiehargrave.us). Anumber of artists have been taking this documentary/anthropology tack. I love the idea, but the results seldom achieve the depth or the artistry of what you find on, say, PBS. And to avoid being seen as "entertainment," they tend to be self-consciously arty or plodding. Ugh. Hargrave falls into the plodding camp — shots of city streets with pedestrians and functional voiceover. It's a shame, because she's got herself a rich subject.
At HALLSPACE, which has been around since 1997 but was transplanted to Dorchester in February, Bostonian Jeff Hull presents bright Expressionist paintings stuffed with odd shapes and symbols (eyes, flames, ships) in a show called "Titanic Transmissions" (950 Dorchester Ave; through June 30). They're busy jumbles. I prefer his prints, a mix of woodcuts and linocuts with some paint and collage that recall the bright cheery designs of '60s and '70s flower-power posters or Christian religious banners. They're a bit simpler than the paintings — fewer colors, fewer moving parts. The technical difficulty and the inverse thinking required of relief prints (you cut out from the printing plate the stuff you don't want to print) seem to slow Hull down and give his imagery more weight.

Dating back to the 19th century, The Stables Bar was originally home to one of Perth's first horse stables. In 1894, local businessman Jonathon Butterworth purchased the site and began construction of his landmark residence and stables. A farm and hardware store were added in 1898. In 2012, the historic building was transformed into The Stables Bar, seamlessly blending its rich past with a fresh modern attitude.
Situated at the end of a small Hay Street laneway, The Stables Bar features two levels of bar and dining experiences, including a sophisticated outdoor bar with a panoramic view of the city skyline.
Enter the cobblestone courtyard and you are immediately transported away from the bustle of Central Perth into a landscaped oasis, the perfect environment for socialising.
With a commitment to innovative food and seasonal produce, The Stables Bar is a refreshing take on modern Australian dining. Head chef Ben Keal sources seasonal, organic and free-range produce wherever possible and creates honest, hearty food designed to be shared.
As well as finely crafted cocktails and excellent wine, The Stables Bar offers all day dining options, including lunch, dinner and all-day grazing menu.
Located in the heart of the CBD, The Stables Bar is the perfect venue for your next event.
Big or small, private or corporate, we pride ourselves on tailoring functions to your specific needs.
A wedding at The Stables Bar is a truly unforgettable experience. Our professional team will work with you to ensure a sophisticated and seamless day that reflects your individual style.

It's not often you see superstars acting in multi-starrers in Telugu films. Well, Venkatesh and Mahesh Babu have come together for Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (SVSC) produced by 'Dil Raju' and directed by Srikkanth Addala (whose earlier film was Kotha Bangaru Lokam).
SVSC also stars Samantha (opposite Mahesh), Anjali (opposite Venkatesh) Prakash Raj, Jayasudha (essaying the roles of parents) and Rohini Hattangady (playing the grandmother).
The rest of the cast includes Tanikella Bharani, Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Ahuti Prasad, Ravi Babu, Rama Prabha and Rao Ramesh.
This film is keenly awaited as it has the superstars playing brothers.
So far, shooting has taken place in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Ahobilam, Relangi (West Godavari district) parts of Tamil Nadu and Ahmedabad, and is still ongoing.
Mickey J Meyer has composed the music for SVSC and K V Guhan is the cinematographer.
SVSC is scheduled to release in October.

Need to elevate treadmill off cement floor
I moved into a new place and the only space for my treadmill is in the detached garage. We've had a lot of rain lately and I notice wet spots on the garage floor. Landlord says that it sometimes floods. I need to get my treadmill off the floor at least 3-4 inches so it doesn't get destroyed. What is the best way to do this? Treadmill weighs a couple hundred pounds. It still has to be usable. I'm not just storing it. I am only renting so any solution can't be a permanent one. Thanks!
you could use treated 4x4 posts and set them down on the cement and then use a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to go on top and then set the treadmill on that. basic knowledge of how to frame with lumber will help and cutting a 4x4 may not be that easy for a diy situation. a couple other things, the floor may not be perfectly level so you might have to shim the 4x4 and make it level before setting the plywood so that the treadmill has a level surface to be on, and screws would be ebst to build it with so that you can take it apart later. this way would make the treadmill sit up about 4 1/4" off of the garage floor.
edit.. I recommend 4x4 instead of 2x4 because it is heavier and may not try and move around the garage when you use the treadmill, a 2x4 system may need to be attached to the floor with bolts so that it would not move around while in use.
First thing, have you ever gotten water into the garage? Second, what is the slope of the drive like going towards the garage door, along with how the downspouts are to allow water to discharge from the gutters away from the structure? Also, is the ground sloped, so that water rolls away from the structure, not towards it.
Many questions here. As for placing the appliance up off the ground, it would be a dangerous feet to do, unless the platform is large enough, along with securing the treadmill to the platform, so that it does not walk off of it, while you are using it.
If you feel like carpentering, build an upside down box with 2x4 sides and 3/4" top.
If you have a pickup and wanna do it easy, go get a pallet.
You'd splinter a pallet pretty quick, they're not designed for the sort of repetitive pounding an operating treadmill would deliver.
If it's wet enough to leave spots then it's probably wet enough to cause things to rust. You're likely going to ruin the treadmill leaving in that humid of a situation. Getting it above standing water isn't likely to be enough. Think about it, a garage is usually an un-conditioned space, much like a simple outdoor shed. See if there's any other metal materials out there now. If they look like they've corroded then so will your treadmill. Put it inside the house, where they're designed to be used.

So, I finally got the chance to do some allergy testing and not unsurprisingly it turns out I have some allergies. Well, not really just "some" allergies - more like a lot of 'em. Nothing like an "eat a peanut and die" kind of allergy, but at least I know what causes my problems now. I've tested it; avoiding the foods the blood test points out does work. It's just not easy.
I'm foremost allergic to brewer's yeast, which as I understand thanks to the internet means pretty much all alcohol is off-limits. That's fine, I guess. Most of my life has been filled with little- or no- drinking anyway. There was a time when my friends would see me with a drink and ask whether I actually drank or not. So, now I have a true, physical reason to avoid it.
But a brewer's yeast allergy doesn't bother me. Neither does the blue cheese allergy which is 3rd on the list of personal no-no's. In second place is corn. Fourth? Eggs. Great. Like those aren't found in absolutely everything! It's been so long since I've been blogging (since April? Wow.) that I've forgotten a good number of contacts that I had and miss... But at least there are resources. I'm either going to have to memorize lists like this or just let this influence me to live the way I know I should.
That's the way to look at adversity, right? How can it make me better? Basically the foods I'm not allergic to are almost all vegetables and fruits, and all meats except pork. So I'm looking at essentially a primal kind of diet. I can get used to that, I think.
I don't know whether this one allergy test tells me whether I'm only allergic now and if I can heal and incorporate some of the off-limit foods - like green beans. I also don't know whether this really only tests "mainstream" foods; it says I'm allergic to milk but does that mean raw milk? I personally doubt it.
I'm not sure where to go from here, except to just keep eating more greens. I'm safe with greens.
Image via WikipediaWhen handed a receipt at the store, you apparently have just over a 50% chance of receiving an apparently-high dose of easily-absorbed bisphenol-A, due to unregulated and wide usage of the material as a loose coating to make printing the receipt easier. A study by the Washington Toxics Coalition (WTC) says that in as little as ten seconds of light handling, BPA receipts can transfer large amounts of BPA directly into the body.

CAN McDonald's be healthy? That's the thought that's running around my mind. Naturally, as you might guess, I'm probably biased against the restauarant and you might be able to guess how this article will turn out. But stick around; I'll try to be creative and come up with ways they possibly could. If I can. For the sake of healthiness, it certainly WOULD be great if there was a fast food restaurant out there that you could actually trust was serving you healthy food.

Sunday Supper: Savory Meatballs
Whether it's a succulent pot roast, cheesy casserole, or warming, savory stew, we love Sunday supper. It's a dinner party without the formality, where family and friends gather for easy conversation and good food – lots of it!
If you asked us to choose one food that unites cuisines from all over the world, meatballs would be at the top of our list. They're found in everything from Italian Wedding Soup to Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches. This international crave-worthy food proves that even with vegetarianism and veganism on the rise, humans love meat. Who can blame us? The mouthwatering smell of a slow-simmered tomato and meatball sauce is nearly impossible to resist.
So what makes meatballs taste and smell so good to us? Many believe it's because of umami, a Japanese term that literally translates to "delicious taste." You can think of it as the sensation that makes us smile and say, "Yum!"
Umami comes from an amino acid called glutamate, which naturally occurs in savory foods such as mushrooms, soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, and of course, meat. The concept of umami dates back to the ancient Romans – they often cooked with garum, a fermented fish sauce with high amounts of glutamate.
Many believe that umami is a fifth taste, in addition to sweet, salt, bitter and sour. To help you get in touch with your inner umami, we've chosen our best meatball recipes. Our Meatballs with Tomato Ragu and Creamy Polenta recipe is brand new from our February 2014 issue.

|Well we went with the Oasis..........not just for the large capacity. My wife was really not ready to spend anymore money with Sears after our Calypso experience. So we stuck to our $1,000.00 credit line and the Oasis hit it right on the nose (after some adjusting by the salesman) So far so good.....really, really quiet. After having a Calypso this machine sure seems thirsty, but water usage really isn't as bad as some. I'll keep you updated.

Te Ara Ahi [bike trail] takes in 74km of scenic forest, countryside and geothermal features between Rotorua and Orakei Korako.
Rotorua is fast becoming the tourism and mountain biking hub of New Zealand. This is important because the tourism sector plays a vital role in supporting and boosting not only the local economy but also in New Zealand's overall economic performance.
It's great that this is being recognised by way of huge investment from the Government in developing local attractions like the $2.5 million Te Ara Ahi "Go Thermal by Bike" mountain bike and cycle trail.
Having only opened late last year, the trail is already gaining national and international attention, putting Rotorua on the map as the mountain biking mecca of New Zealand.
Individually, our city's geothermal sites and mountain biking trails are a draw card but this trail combines the two, making it a unique attraction quite possibly not seen anywhere else in the world. Te Ara Ahi takes in 74km of scenic forest, countryside and geothermal features between Rotorua and Orakei Korako, incorporating some of the world's most unique geothermal areas, outstanding landscapes, pristine lakes and exotic forests.
It offers an accessible single or multi-day experience that appeals to touring cyclists and cycling holidaymakers as well as offering an alternative experience for mountain bikers, both locals and visitors.
It links four established geothermal attractions - Te Puia, Waimangu Volcanic Valley, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland and Orakei Korako.
These areas are a must-see for many visitors to New Zealand and for the domestic visitor market and we're seeing tourists come here from places as far away as Australia specifically to bike this trail.
With the Sydney-Rotorua direct flights now running twice a week, it's a lot easier for visitors to pop over the ditch for a short break.
I've been told 1500 domestic tourists biked Te Ara Ahi within the first month of it opening and these numbers will only continue to increase as word spreads and its popularity grows.
Importantly, the positive promotion surrounding this trail will have a flow-on effect for other local tourist attractions, hotels, motels and retailers with the expectation that most people who want to ride the trail will make a weekend out of it. Last week an extremely positive story on the trail featured on TV1's Breakfast show. Better still, it's available online and therefore accessible to people living around the world. If you didn't catch it on Monday, you can find it at http://tvnz.co.nz/video or visit my Facebook page and click on the link.
I was happy to be a part of the segment which also featured president of the Rotorua Mountain Biking Club Gregg Brown and Rotorua District Councillor Dave Donaldson. Thanks to both of you for doing such a fantastic job promoting Rotorua.
Rotorua is at the heart of tourism in the Bay of Plenty. Our small tourism businesses make up a significant component of the overall sector in New Zealand.
The experience that they give tourists is integral to their overall experience of New Zealand, and how much they then invest into our economies while they're here.
Te Ara Ahi is one more thing that makes our city a stand-out visitor destination.
It is unique attractions like this that are driving the local economy and putting Rotorua on the map as the place to visit.
