I've needed to declare a major for quite some time now, and I just found the greatest degree ever!
The degree is in Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Emergency Medical Services. You take the core classes and then get to choose an interest track. One of the options is Wilderness Response! Check out what the classes cover:
– Avalanche Rescue
– Map and Compass
– Rock Climbing
– Ropes Technician
– Search and Rescue
– Swift Water Rescue
– Wilderness EMT
– Wilderness Nutrition
– Wilderness Safety and Survival
Some of the classes are taught in collaboration with the University of Utah and the Wilderness Medicine Institute of NOLS.
I found my major. I can imagine it now… "Ryan – I need you to fix the deck this weekend." "Sorry honey, I have homework. I have to go get lost in the mountains and find my way out."Oct 4, 2007 at 11:49 am #1404538

Very Cool! I got my major in psychology and I was going to get my master's in wilderness therapy, but am now veering away from it. It is perfect for me, but I question if wilderness therapy is actually effective. I'm not talking about adventure therapy or "boot camps."
Wilderness therapy is a seperate field alltogether. Check it out on wikipedia if you want to know more..Not that I'm trying to sway you from your goal, cause what youa re looking at is totally different (and better in my opinion!)
So for me, the outdoors will just have to remain a hobby until I can run away and live in the woods sans technology. I wish I had a Native American grandfather!
That major sounds great, but there are many others you might explore also. When I was on my search I almost became a backcountry ranger. Anyways, there are many many many jobs that put you outside for long periods of time. Photographer, researcher, any kind of ranger, etc..
Great for you though! Getting excited about a major is a great thing!Oct 4, 2007 at 12:00 pm #1404540
I actually don't know if I'll do anything with that degree. I'm looking for a major to declare while I'm doing pre-requisites for Pharmacy school. You don't need a B.S. to get in, but if you don't get in the first time they suggest that you have a degree on the backburner – get the degree and then re-apply.
So if I end up being a pharmacist (boring, but get paid up the wazoo) then so be it. If not, I'll have a degree I'm interested in that I could do many things with.
I'll look that up on wikipedia – sounds interesting – thanks!Oct 4, 2007 at 12:14 pm #1404541
I haven't learned this lesson yet, but people older and supposedly wiser than myself/us have always said not to work for money…
Why would you want to be a pharmacist if you think it's boring? Just cause the money? Man..40/hrs a week for 5 days a week equals a lot of time being bored…
Please tell me you don't REALLY think it's boring… I think it would be awesome to know all those meds and how they work, what they do, etc… I loved my psychopharmacology class..
Don't you think that getting a B.S. in Chem would be helpful to getting into pharmacy school? How does that work? Either way, you should do what interests you. They always say that everything works out if you follow your heart…
All this being said, I can't say that I'm really following my heart..easier said in hindsite than done me thinks..Oct 4, 2007 at 12:34 pm #1404543
I haven't learned that lesson yet either (about the money vs. doing what you love). I don't really see too many things I love to do that will support a family.
I guess I think the knowledge of pharmacy is interesting, but counting pills day in and day out is what sounds boring.
As far as a Chemistry degree, the pre-reqs for Pharm school already include 1 year of Chem, 1 year of Organic Chem, as well as Physics, Calculus, Anatomy, Physiology, etc. I'd just rather get a degree in something I'm more interested in then continue with more Chem classes.
As far as "following your heart"… yeah, I wrestle with that daily. I know alot of people who "followed their heart" and are barely scraping by. But maybe that's OK, and even preferable to having money and hating life.Oct 4, 2007 at 12:44 pm #1404544
We're starting to get deep… heh :)
Yeah, you're right. It's the whole supporting the family thing that throws me off too. Sucks how that works. I wish my heart was into being a CEO!
I suppose the key is happiness! If you follow your heart you are supposed to be happy, even if you are barely scraping by. Like the artist who buys paint instead of food. Or more closely, the hiker who loves the hike, though they the hike may have suffering included. Same goes for climbing, kayaking etc… Life in general… I will find out more because I've come up with some theories on happiness and I'm in the process of writing up some papers to present. Hopefully I can get some research going!
In the meantime, we'll wrestle along with all the others…Oct 4, 2007 at 12:50 pm #1404546
Send me those papers when you're done – I love psychology (not enough to do it 40 hrs a week though).

Sounds a lot better than Electrical Engineering, which is what I'm working on. Don't get me wrong, I like most of my classes but its the math that I loathe. I've never been a whiz at math so it always takes me a little longer to figure things out than most people.
On a side note, I get to fly down to Huntsville, AL in 2 weeks to interview for a coop. I'm not too thrilled with the way they do their coop (3 rotating semesters of work and school) but it seems like a neat company to work for. I was shooting for somewhere a little more west though, but no one else came calling. Anyone from AL? How's the hiking? If I don't get the coop or don't like the company its still a free trip to somewhere I've never been. Did I mention they're paying for the flight, hotel, transportation, and food? They can't be all bad :).

Maybe you could marry a pharmacist? Wise cracks aside, I'm reminded of an old climber's adage: "At either end of the economic spectrum there's a leisure class". So don't give up on following your dream, especially while you're young, 'cause there's a whole lot more to life than making big bucks. I would venture that Dr. J, Roman Dial, Jason Geck, et. al. are not rolling in dough, but they are rich in experiences and the pure joy of living life to its fullest. I would venture to say there aren't many pharmacists that can say the same. CEO's; I dunno; depends on how much a person gets off on power tripping and big bucks, I guess…Oct 5, 2007 at 3:51 am #1404603

My son recently wrestled with the same problem of choosing a major. We had several long talks and this is the advice I gave him. Money will not always make you as happy as you think. The happiest I have ever been is when I made the least amount of money and enjoyed what I did.
I started as an engineering major and changed to education. I found that making kids "stay on task" was not how I wanted to spend my life. I eventually took a major cut in pay to become a firefighter. Interestingly enough I became good enough to teach others how to run into a burning building that I now make more money than when I taught school (but not as much as an engineer). I work directly for a deputy chief that I introduced to backpacking. Every time things get tough, he tells me we need to block off some time to go up on the "trail" (AT). I also spend time as a Scoutmaster of a very active Troop. Life has a way of working out.
As for my son, he is a Recreation Management major at ASU (Appalachian not Arizona). He is spending next weekend certifying as a backpacking instructor. We were laughing last night at the recommended gear list he is to bring on the trip. It more than both of us carry on a weeklong trip. His goal is to work for a group like NOLS (if they ever truly go light). Or maybe Ryan could find him a spot at BPL (I need an excuse to go to Montana)!Oct 5, 2007 at 5:04 am #1404604

The one lesson I have good and truly learned in this life is to be happy with what you do for a living. When you dread waking up in the morning because of your job, you won't be happy in almost any aspect of your life. However, if you like what you're doing, you'll work around a lack of money more easily.
My goal in life is to make enough money to pay my bills, and to enjoy what I'm doing so much that I'd be willing to do it for free if I could afford it. I'm not quite there yet, but hopefully someday :)

My experience is that people who say "Money is the root of all evil" have never been poor. There is NOTHING wrong with a job you appreciate that makes good money. Unfortunately there are almost no jobs in outdoor education or recreation that make for a livable income by themselves. I know of what I speak on this.
In 2003, after working the previous two summers as a seasonal NOLS instructor, I moved to Wyoming, put my belongings in storage in Lander, and proceeded to gain as much work as possible from NOLS.
I learned to be a professional mountain bum, living out of my jeep, on the couch at the Teton Valley Branch, the city park in Lander, or wherever I was able to hike independently when I wasn't on a course. When Teton Pass wasn't snowed in, I drove over to Jackson Hole and temped, cutting firewood, trimming shrubbery, or helping with construction.
When I had contracts with the school, I worked mountains in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Oregon, caves in Nevada, and canyons in Utah. It was the best job of all time.
But as winter approached, work dried up to nothing both with NOLS and temping. I was getting deeper and deeper in debt, and I had to pack in the dream and accept that NOLS wasn't a viable career option for me.
Regular work for NOLS tends to follow a bit of the "old boy" network, except it would have to be expanded to the "old girl" network also. Like many jobs, to get more work, the right people have to know you and know you are available. Most of those who are "full-time" NOLS Instructors work 4-6 months a year and know people they can work for (often family) during the off time and leave at very short notice. Otherwise, work just doesn't come your way outside of peak seasons.
I could have made more than twice as much money working for the YMCA camp during the summer. Plus NOLS doesn't reimburse you for travel or maintaining your WFR certification. I actually lost money in the long run working for NOLS.
The result was that I found a balance that let me exercise my passions. And since I loved teaching, I went back to it. Now, fully certified with my master's degree, I make good money and get LOTS of time off to do the other thing I love, hiking. I am MUCH happier with a stable, sustainable career and a way to enjoy my life for weeks at a time in the backcountry.
Now as for my time with NOLS, and the debt I incurred, it's a lot like the Visa commercial: starvation grocery list with scavenging from the refugee bin – $42, WFR certification – $345, waking up in the Wind River Range with a fresh inch of snow on August 30th – priceless….
I'm glad I gave that life a try. I'm even more glad I have a livable income with a sustainable lifestyle now.Oct 8, 2007 at 1:22 am #1404799

Shawn is right on the mark, as usual. I didn't have to learn it the hard way like many others have, but I have a stable job with plenty of time off to pursue my passions, and have no regrets. Perhaps Dr. J would have a different perspective on this, but I think he's the exception, not the rule.
As for pharmacy, you had better really be into it if you hope to succeed. They will definitely look at your declared major as proof (or not) of your intent when you are trying to get into the professional program. And if you think that pharmacists mainly count pills, you apparently don't know all that much about pharmacy. I have two brothers and a sister-in-law that are all PharmD's, and none of them spend their time counting pills.
But hey, the B.S. in Adventure sounds great if you can work out a viable career path.Oct 10, 2007 at 6:31 am #1405049

add me to the list of those with a wildlife degree and too few jobs/a non livable wage/lifestyle. Money can't buy happiness but poverty sure is miserable!Oct 12, 2007 at 1:14 pm #1405326
David WillsMember
I have a similar situation playing out right now. I had intent on outdoor education until midway through last school year. The program in GCSU was heavily book intensive with little experiential education and their big expedition at the end sounded similar to a glorified scout retreat- 8-10 miles a day hiking with a little river stuff and climbing in between. Other schools are more experiential, but still very book and concept intensive.
I switched to marketing due the prospect of a livable income, and have been thinking heavily about teaching lately. I could easily spend 60 hours a week for 8 years or more working my tail off to make more money that I will ever need, but i don't want to waste my youth on that. I plan on getting a masters in marketing and probably teach at a college and get lots of time off and enjoy what I will do. Teachers, especially college profs, have a respectable income more than able to sustain the UL lifestyle. If i have a desire for lots of money, it would be possible to get it, but i doubt that will happen. Experiences are way more important than money and materials goods. Plus it would be awesome to live in a college town. good luck with your decisions and be sure to stay realistic about things.Oct 15, 2007 at 10:17 pm #1405616

Another thing to consider is that in a wilderness job you will probably sometimes be dealing with people that can be jerks, idiots that refuse to listen that can put your life and the lifes of your other patrons in danger, and just plain obnoxious customers. That may also be true of pharmacy, but at least you are dealing with them for a few minutes instead of days…
Shawn's remarks on balance are right on. Enough money and enough time to enjoy doing the things you want is important. I once heard 'money won't buy happiness, but it will sure make misery a lot more comfortable'!
The right career and some judicious investing can allow for some fun now and lead to a lot of enjoyment in the future. A 'fun' career with low pay can result in a few years of enjoyment and lot of years struggling day to day financially and no real hope for improvement in the future.

Yes, it's finally that elusive, much awaited day of the month! (well, it will be in three and a half hours anyway)
Floral, velvet, leather, shearling, chiffon. I want all these in my life. Now. Plus clogs, tassels, animal hats, leopard print, buckles and those delicious blue brogues from Office. See also the lumberjack brooch from my beloved Tatty Devine.
Alas, as I'm off to New York in 22 days (hold me), most of these items will have to remain firmly in the realms of wishing. Forever 21 is calling my name and I'm seriously considering taking a half empty case with me in order to do the shopping justice. And to bring back my body weight in Reese's Pieces obviously.
What items are you lusting after for the new season?

Date of Stay: May, 2008
We enjoyed camping here. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. The sites are gravel but level. We liked the fact that you get to pick your own site. The sites are all shaded, and it is very quite and peaceful. The shower house was very clean and heated. Giant City Park is very beautiful with a lot of interesting rock formations and trails to hike on. We would camp here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, this is your spot. This is a beautiful, peaceful park nestled into the rolling hills of the Shawnee National Forest. We stayed here over Memorial Day Weekend and amazingly enough, the campground wasn't full. The campground was within walking distance of the cave and the Ohio River. The area also offers a lot of other natural, beautiful spots to visit. The campground is well maintained and almost all of the sites are shaded by large, mature, hardwood trees. The sites are large with plenty of space between them. We were able to set up our badminton game and had lots of room for the kids to play. The campsites have asphalt pads with picnic tables and a fire pit at each. My only complaint: the shower in the bath house was turned on by push button with no way to control the water temperature and the water was terribly hot. I would camp here again.

Mark Naison: The signs of popular initiative are all around us, if we care to look. They are the real hope of the future in a country where the mainstream economic and political systems have been rendered stagnant by a concentration of wealth at the top.
Defending Educational Rights in Tucson: Murder in Progress
Rudy Acuna: The suppression of free speech in Tucson has gone unrestrained despite the hype that we are a national minority.
Romney and the Right: They Hate Him…But They Hate Obama More…
Bill Fletcher: Karl Rove was quite correct in pointing out that the Romney road to victory, should it happen, is brought about through a demoralization of the Obama base.
Austerity Measures Meet Resistance and the Democratic Will
Carl Bloice: It's funny how a dramatic political crisis can focus the mind, how things like the Occupy movement and the European voters' revolt can shift perception — even the public expression — of the powers-that-be in politics and the media.
Help Working Mothers: Motherhood on a Wire
Vivan Rothstein: As a result of the intense conservative politicking around motherhood and its related issues, our country is far behind others in actually supporting moms.
The Shame of Nations: New War Spending Record Set
Lawrence Wittner: World military spending reached a record $1,738 billion in 2011 — an increase of $138 billion over the previous year. The United States accounted for 41 percent of that, or $711 billion.
An Apology for Mass Mexican Deportation
Bill Fletcher: For right-wing populists and for too many of our own people, it is easier to blame the immigrant for our suffering than to recognize that capitalism will use whoever it can to weaken the power of working people.
Foreclosures 101 – Part 1
Kwazi Nkrumah: For years the banks, real estate agents and investors in real estate securities on Wall Street were making money hand-over-fist. They did all this while pretending to break from their previous established history of gross discrimination and red-lining against the disproportionately non-white borrowers whose limited financial resources forced them into "sub-prime" status in the first place.
The Foreclosure Crisis: Urgent as Ever and Could Get Worse
Carl Bloice: There are an estimated 3.5 million seriously delinquent mortgages out there. There were nearly 2.7 million foreclosure filings on about 1.9 million homes last year. That's down from 2007, but it's still about one out of every 69 homes in the country.
99 Percent Clubs: Online Public Square and Free Speech Zone
Mark Naison: What we did not envision, when we created our 99% C lub, was how it would create an incredible online free speech zone and public square not only for club members, but for people with no direct connection to Fordham who found out what we were doing.
Rick Santorum: Master at the Science of Nutrition
Bill Fletcher: Just when you thought that you had heard enough ignorance, Rick Santorum opens his mouth. In a speech this past week he announced that given the obesity problem in the USA there was no longer a great need for food stamps.
Occupy: You Can't Evict an Idea
Ruth Rosen: Any successful movement must change the national conversation and create and dominate the terms of debate. This the Occupy movement has successfully done, for now.
Let's Occupy Together
David Kristjanson-Gural: Corporate news stations present themselves as trustworthy and unbiased, but they are owned by large multinational corporations like General Electric and Westinghouse, and these are the folks that are benefitting from the policies that the protesters decry.

Preliminary Results from Exercise for Health : A Breast Cancer Recovery Project [Abstract]
Eakin, Elizabeth G., Lawler, Sheleigh P., Spathonis, Kym , Harrison, Sheree , Winkler, Elisabeth, Newman, Beth M., & Hayes, Sandra C. (2009) Preliminary Results from Exercise for Health : A Breast Cancer Recovery Project [Abstract]. In Proceedings of the 15th International Breast Cancer Support Conference : Reach to Recovery, Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Brisbane.
(PDF 20kB)
Accepted Version.
The Exercise for Health program is a telephone-delivered exercise intervention for women with breast cancer (BC) living in regional Queensland. The effect of the program is being evaluated in the context of a randomised controlled trial. Consenting, newly diagnosed BC patients, treated in one of 8 regional Queensland hospitals, were randomly allocated to telephone-based exercise counselling (EC) or usual care (UC) at 6-weeks post-surgery. EC participants received an exercise workbook and 16 calls from an exercise physiologist over 8 months. Physical activity levels (PA) (Active Australia & CHAMPS), quality-of-life (FACTB+4), upper-body function (DASH) and fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) were assessed at baseline (4-6 weeks post-surgery), 6- and 12-months post-surgery. Preliminary analyses of available 6-month data were conducted using t-tests and repeated measures ANCOVAs. Participating women (n=143; EC n=73, UC n=70) were aged 53±9 years and 30% met PA guidelines at baseline. Up to two thirds of the women received adjuvant therapy during the first 6 months following surgery. Greater improvements (mean change+SD) occurred for the EC vs UC group in weekly sessions of walking (1.83±4.3 vs -0.5±5.5, p=0.029) moderate-vigorous PA (5.0±6.5 vs -1.1±6.1, p=0.005) and strength training (1.9±2.9 vs -0.5±4.2 p<0.001), and in upper-body function, reflected by lower log-transformed disability scores (-0.34±0.44 vs -0.17±0.28, p=0.038). More EC than UC participants met PA guidelines at 6 months (46.3% vs 32.7%). Preliminary findings from this ongoing trial suggest that the telephone is a feasible and effective medium for delivering exercise counselling to newly diagnosed BC patients living in regional areas.

Reviews for Favorite Irish Stew
"Omg! The Best stew ever...although, I personally placed it in a slow cooker + the frozen peas + turned it off an hour before serving and my spouse added 1 cup of sour cream 2 thicken it up abit...delish!"
"I loved this stew, i worked diligently to get this perfect. I added a box of white mushrooms. it was SUPER DELICIOUS!!! but then i added the flour paste thickner at the end and it ruined the dish. i should of known better. The flour paste at the end is to thicken if its needed, otherwise the dish can do without and since i followed the 4 cup broth direction and added extra mushroom, it was delicious. SO DONT ADD FLOUR PASTE AT END IF YOU DONT NEED TO, its just a thickner"
"Very tasty Irish stew! We added some spinach which makes it even better and greener!"
"Excellent recipe. I used beef instead of lamb and have to say this is the best beef stew I have ever made. I can't imagine what it will taste like tomorrow because is was perfect today!!!! This is definitely a keeper."
"I tried making lamb stew for St. Patrick's Day a few years ago and didn't like the result. The stew was too rich for my taste. But I thought I'd try again with this recipe and boy am I glad I did! It was pretty easy and very flavorful. The stew had just the right consistency and tasted wonderful with homemade soda bread. I would like to try to make this in my slow cooker, only because I'm not fond of having to stand over the stovetop when I make stew! I will definitely make this again!"
"Hearty and quite tasty. Even my toddler enjoyed the beef and peas. I'd make it again!"
"The Worcestershire and Thyme give it such a great flavor. Makes a great chicken stew too!"
"Very easy to prepare and very good taste. One modification I made was instead of 4 cups of beef broth, I used 2 cups of beef broth and 2 cups of chicken broth. Tastes great the day of, it's going to taste even better tomorrow!!"
"We used beef in this recipe, but easy to make and very hearty. It will be replacing our beef stew recipe and we will be making this instead. Husband and kid both loved it also."
"Excellent recipe we all loved it. Can't wait to make it again - cheers!"
"Delicious. Added green beans to other veggies."
"Love love love this!!"
"I would definitely make this again.It has a very good flavor.I added a little browning sauce to give it a richer color and almost doubled the veggies. We like a lot of veggies with our gravy.This is a keeper."
"Big flavor, delicious stew. I used ground lamb and the finished product was great. Big lamb flavor- economically priced!"
"I would use pork roast instead of veal or lamb but that's just my meat prefrence. It is delicious."
"This is a fantastic recipe. I will make this again."
"Delicious flavor. Well worth the effort to prepare. I would prepare Irish soda muffins to accompany this."

@lancemLocale: Oregon
24" x 48", 2 mil virgin low density polyethylene flat bag.
Clear seamless poly tubing (no side seams) with double 2mm seals across the bottom. 2.15 ounces each. Packages of five.
I wanted a taller pack liner than the standard trash compactor bag for my Granite Gear Vapor Trail and found these. All of my gear (including a Ridgerest pad) easily fits inside with plenty of extra height for a really good 'twist and tuck' seal.
Unfortunately, I had to buy a case of 250 bags to get the few I wanted. Therefore, I have 240 bags I'd like to sell in packages of five for $7.50 including domestic postage.
For more information and to purchase see here.

These liners are a great fit for my older GoLite Jam2 & Pinnacle. Quite a bit lighter & more useful than several combinations I had been using.

P.S. The pages you set up for the sale are very good & easy to use, with all the needed info & pictures to boot. Most online retailers would benifit from your expertise. The packaging & speedy delivery was impressive!Jan 1, 2012 at 8:42 pm #1818493
I just purchased another pack of five. My girlfriend tried one in her Osprey Ariel 55 & decieded I should give her half of my order. It's hard to split 5 in half & all remain usable! So I bought five for her.

Thanks for the positive comments.
I have 11 packages of 5 bags each left. Paypal keeps track of my inventory so if you try to order after the inventory is all gone, you should know right away.
For those still on the fence, here's a little more info: The bags came from Elkay Plastics, Item #20F-2448 via Rose Paper Products
Any advice on a self-help book for the less-than-tech-savvy who are looking to get into basic web design?
Web hosting companies can get you going quickly from templates.
I started from scratch using primarily (reading over and over):
- Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML by Elizabeth Freeman &
Eric Freeman
- HTML, XHTML & CSS by Elizabeth Castro
- W3Schools Online Web Tutorials
At some point I'll switch from writing HTML from scratch to a web page design program like Coffee Cup or DreamWeaver.
Thanks again.Jan 20, 2012 at 6:57 am #1827144

Ooo I just bought a pack of 5 too. Lighter and taller than the compacter bag. Count me in. I've got a skinny tall pack. Sounds like it's going to work out. Thanks.

Bathroom tile advice needed.
5 Attachment(s)
We want a different color bathroom tile.
We will hire someone to do the work.
It would be great to have your ideas and advice.
In particular, does the old tile have to be removed - or - can a new layer be added on top of the existing tile?
The new toilet you see sits 3/4" above the current tile because the flange was that much "too tall" for it.
If the existing layer is solid you can probably go on top of it. Can you live with increased height, doorways, etc? Are planning on replacing the tub?
A new layer would cover the curved, bottom part of the wall tiles. Don't know if that's a problem.
The door clears the floor/threshold by 7/8" - and we could cut extra off the bottom - if needed.
Maybe we would need to replace the white threshold to match the new floor height?
Except at the threshold, I don't think we would notice the extra height.
How much extra height will a new layer of tile add?
Whatever you do please for the love of god, fix the toilet gap.
It doth offend mine eyes.
Yeah. I was really surprised when I took the old toilet out and discovered that the new one wouldn't reach the floor.
John, your last photo looks like the transition from the bathroom to the *other* room is generally the same height. Although you can't tell the height difference all that well, it appears that applying new tile over your existing tile would create a step up. Is that the case?
I'd also recommend going with a larger sized tile 8x8's or 12x12's. The smaller sized tiles make an already small bathroom appear even smaller.
Any suggestions?
Hi John, just noticed I never responded! My apologies! What ever happened? Get everything fixed up?
I now think I will ask a plumber to look at the cast iron pipe/flange and see what he thinks can safely be done to cut/lower it so the flange will be level with the new tile floor.
We haven't put in the new tile yet either.
I'm dealing with a similar issue in my bathroom (relocating the toilet 4" away from the drain). Just be sure that you have a minimum of 1/4" per linear foot of travel. My issue is also with cast iron so I'm thinking I will have to replace everything with ABS or PVC.
As for your tile, it's much simpler than most people make it out to be. Toughest part is the removal of the old tile and replacing the underlayment (if needed). I do know that they make a wedge transition piece that is adjustable on one side (so if one side is lower, it will compensate for the change in height).
Good luck and keep us posted!
We had planned to get the new tile put on top of the old. That's what the guy at the decorating center suggested. I will ask about the cost and practicality of removing the original layer of tile.
On the cast iron toilet drain, a plumber told me that if we cracked a pipe, especially one of the curved ones where both toilets pipes meet and head for the sewer, that "it" would "all" have to be replaced. Sounded like a scary, expensive mess. I don't want to go there.
I'm hoping we (a plumber, not me) can remove the cast iron flange from the riser(?), cut the top off the riser - flush with the tile floor, and put on a new flange. All without disturbing any of the cast iron pipes/joints down in the crawl space.
One thing I'm curious about, however, is how to remove a cast iron "receiving hub" (still don't know the terminology) that only has one of two outlets and replace it with a PVC or ABS one. I've seen the Fernco vids and several forum posts, but it seems like that particular piece of the puzzle eludes me. Any insight from your end?
As far as tiling over tile, although I'm not a pro but do have fairly extensive experience with tiling, I would venture to guess that wouldn't be ideal. If the subfloor for whatever reason becomes unfastened or there is movement, then that will pose a huge problem for the new tile. Also, you have to make sure that the subfloor is in fact sound before any tile is layed anyway, plus the added weight of a new layer of thinset, tile and grout could possible be too much for your floors to handle.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I'm organising a zine exhibition for around March with various zinemakers - a collective, if you like - and I wondered whether you had a zine ready or something you'd like to make, which could be included in the exhibition?
There will be pages (or excerpts) from zines blown up to larger sizes and displayed on the wall in whichever creative form the zinemaker wants. For example, simple A3 or…

WeatherCall Helps Keep You Ahead of the Storm
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - Severe weather in Southern Colorado. It can strike quickly and when it hits, it hits hard.
When the storms do rumble, the sound that you want to hear is a call from WeatherCall.
WeatherCall is a severe weather notification system. It comes in two forms, one for home and one for people on the go.
"We push out that warning for up to three phone numbers registered in that database," said Valerie Ritterbusch from WeatherCall.
For people who are on the move, there's WeatherCall On The Go.
"It follows you as opposed to the fixed location," said Ritterbusch.
That means that if you're driving around and a warning is issued for your area, WeatherCall will let you know.
"We want to catch you before you drive into the warned area," said Ritterbusch.
In Southern Colorado, even non-severe storms can be dangerous so WeatherCall now includes a lightning alert.
Ritterbusch said, "the Front Range of Colorado is second in the nation for cloud-to-ground lightning strikes."
It's a way to keep you safe when the storms rumble this summer, as they surely will again.

text: Guns are so 20th Century. I don't feel safer thinking about carrying one. Nor do I feel safer in a society where everyone is encouraged to carry one to, you know, prevent crime. Why am I saying this? I've been following the Oscar Grant trial in the papers over the past week, and today's article made me see red. The story so far: police accounts of Oscar's shooting and death are wildly divergent from the recorded video evidence. But for the first time in the trial, a BART police officer actually admitted to this incongruity, but proceeded to attempt to justify Oscar's death anyway. It doesn't surprise me that the Blue Wall is circling its wagons for the Oscar Grant trial. But no matter what the outcome of the trial will be, we know the truth because we've seen the video. Unfortunately, this isn't true in the case of the less-covered killing of Gary King around the corner from my home two years ago. Or even when my neighborhood was under siege a few weeks back

The official opening last week of Jo Malone's new Auckland store gives another reason to visit the fast-developing Britomart area. It's already on the map for wining and dining, but over the next few months more retail will be added to the mix. There's already a Les Mills gym nearby and food outlets catering to the relocated corporate crowd, but expect other destination retailers to join Jo Malone in the Atrium on Tukutai, where Westpac is headquartered, with Ernst & Young next door.
Over the next few months L'Occitane plans to open a store, along with M.A.C, which like Jo Malone, is moving on from The Chancery. Other retailers on the way include Nike, Ted Baker and LuluLemon Athletica. Already open is modern French cafe L'Assiette which faces on to Britomart Place. Sadly, rumours doing the rounds that Chanel is about to set up shop in Auckland are just that, the French house's Sydney office has confirmed to Viva.
The Jo Malone store features a Tasting Bar, allowing customers to gain a greater understanding of the composition of scent in a fun way.
Top, heart and base notes of fragrances can be experienced, allowing a favourite to be more fully appreciated or a new perfume explored. The store also offers complimentary hand and arm massage and fragrance combining, and bridal consultations. As the only Jo Malone outlet in New Zealand it also acts as dispatch centre for phone orders, sending out those coveted cream boxes trimmed with black bows. We predict many spoiled corporate wives and secretaries.
Purr-fect timing
The fragrance launch of Purr by Katy Perry is the biggest in this country in years. Farmers, the exclusive stockist for three months, says its initial sales have been double any other perfume launch, celebrity or otherwise - including those timed to catch the heavily promoted Christmas and Valentine's Day sales periods.
Perry's perfume outrated all of 2010's biggest celebrity launches combined, of scents by Britney Spears, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. The national department store chain's fragrance buyer, Jo Spencer, said customers were a mixture of teenagers and mothers purchasing for their daughters. "The fact that the star herself was touring New Zealand at the time of launch threw the spotlight on the fragrance."
In her five years at Farmers, and judging by accessible files, there had been nothing to match it. She expects sales to remain strong for many months. "When we launched Beyonce [Heat] in June of last year sales remained extremely strong for at least six months, and the fragrance is still selling well now."
Perry's scent, a fruity-floral number with peachy notes, which the singer - who owns more than 50 fragrances - helped create, comes in a cute purple kitty cat bottle that echoes her sex kitten image. It is priced from $65 to $118, pitching below prestige designer scents.
The celebrity fragrance market has grown exponentially in recent years and the Katy Perry launch just over three weeks ago puts paid to any thought the trend might be levelling off. "Our customers can't get enough of celeb scents," says Spencer.
Most celebrity fragrances come out of the same big international perfume houses as prestige perfumes, but they are often deliberately sweet offerings aimed at younger or less sophisticated noses. Purr manages to combine lolly water appeal with some depth, making it a good bet to be more than a one-tour wonder.
That potential longevity of sales is why stars are so keen to secure lucrative perfume royalties. Britney and Mariah may no longer be top of the pops but their names still sell a lot of scent.
Fancy a bite?
A top facial will leave you so relaxed you'll feel like drooling, and to make this even more likely, French salon brand Sothys has introduced a seasonal facial scented with vanilla and caramel. You'll find the tempting treatment in more than 100 salons nationwide.
Shiver me digits
A silver shatter topcoat has joined O.P.I's Shatter Black as a new crackle finish for nails. It goes with the New Brights collection of six colours including minty green, lavender and pastel pink priced at $24.90. (From department stores, Life pharmacies and selected salons).
Grey begone
L'Oreal's ammonia-free in-salon hair colour system Inoa has been joined by Inoa Supreme, a version for women with 70 per cent or more greys. In 15 colours, it offers the same gentler colouring without the strong odour and tight-feeling scalp that ammonia induces, plus added ingredients to help the condition of hair which loses elasticity with age. The company has also matched competitor Schwarzkopf in introducing an easy-to-apply mousse formula for at-home hair dye jobs. The new Sublime Mousse, $16.99, comes in 12 shades and L'Oreal colour consultant Carron Gibbons advises that if you're not sure what shade to select, for safety's sake go for the lighter option.
Wand wavers
For years straightening irons have ruled the home heat-styling market, but wands are the new wonder workers, allowing for both curl taming and curl creation. They're already a favourite in the hands of top stylists, with Cloud Nine's new black The Wand a top-end example costing $350. Remington's new purple or pink Tribal Compact Tong, at $69.95, is more of a fun tool, ideal for creating twisty ringlets (costs $99.95).
The Wand's launch comes a year after Cloud Nine brought out a styler with impressive temperature control. With a long conical ceramic barrel, it helps create the sort of retro-style curls making waves on the red carpet and the heat setting is easily adjusted, allowing for its use on fine to coarse hair. Turn it up and wind hair at the pointy end for tighter curls, or opt for a softer, cooler loop, all achieved within seconds.
"The look for Alice McCall is all about relaxed boho with a soft, polished finish, says stylist Jon Pulitano. "I used The Wand through the front to create beautiful, soft waves that were brushed out for a polished and sculptural effect."
Mobeen Bhikoo, a stylist at Stephen Marr who has been working with The Wand says he likes that "you're not restricted to the typical contrived curls that you get with traditional tongs or irons". His tips are to section hair, use a bodifying product and work from back to front. "Even women who already have curly hair will love The Wand; you can soften or strengthen natural curls."
* The Wand, which handily has a non-twist swivel cord is available from selected salons, for stockists ph 0800 25 25 30. Tribal Tongs sell from leading electrical retailers, ph 0800 736 776.
Homegrown beauty
New Zealander Ria van Dyke is the new face of Innoxa cosmetics and if you think she's pageant-pretty, that's because she's only recently handed back her crown as Miss Universe New Zealand. The Auckland university graduate and model has signed up to front for Innoxa and the image above right is one of several that will appear in store and in print.
Innoxa is a French company with a slogan of "classic simple beauty". It has updated its cosmetics range after revamping its skincare a year or two back. Van Dyke particularly rates the new Pure Silk Skin Primer ($29.95), as a lasting base for makeup. The Sun Kissed Bronzing Powder is good value at $24.95 and there's a decent selection of lipsticks for $19.95. (Innoxa, primarily a pharmacy brand, is also available in selected Farmers.)

Pediatric oncologist Dr. Victor Aquino treated Oakley when he was diagnosed with cancer as a toddler. Aquino said that Oakley did well "until about a year ago when, unfortunately, he developed the cancer in his leg called osteosarcoma. And the treatment for that was to have his leg amputated, as well as to receive chemotherapy."
Oakley's left leg was amputated last year. He wears a prosthetic leg which he was fitted for at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas.
Oakley's mother, Holli, said that her son first wanted to know if his 1977 Ford pickup truck could be converted from standard to automatic. That is when a group of students at South Grand Prairie High School came up with the idea of making that happen. "This is his one true love" said Jessica Herrera, a student at South Grand Prairie High School. "Like most kids have football as their true love, I think his true love is his truck."
Many of Oakley's friends were at the hospital with him during his many stays for treatment and the amputation surgery. Logan Bunyea is Oakley's best friend. "He's a kid that never gives up," said Bunyea. "He's a kid that, when it comes to the point where he feels like he's down, he turns to God and it keeps him safe. And hope in his heart."
In December of last year, Oakley turned his 35-year-old truck over to Grand Prairie Ford, and students collected donations. They raised more than $4,800 and, on Saturday, Oakley will get his truck back. It no longer has a stick shift. The clutch is buried under the floorboard carpet. It is now an automatic, and Oakley will take it for a ride after its presented to him at the school campus.
"I've always liked classic cars and trucks and hot rods," said Oakley.
All of the attention is a little overwhelming, but Oakley said that he is appreciative of what his friends have done. "I'm grateful," he said.

Leaders court crossbenchers as counting continues
Julia Gillard has vowed to provide regular public briefings about the progress of talks with the four crossbench MPs who hold the key to who can form the nation's next government.
The Prime Minister and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott are in Canberra ready to start negotiations as counting continues in at least five seats that are still too close to call.
By this afternoon Labor had secured 72 seats, the Coalition 69 and the Greens one, with three independents - Tony Windsor, Bob Katter and Rob Oakeshott.
The prospect of Andrew Wilkie joining the list of independents has taken a hit, with recounting in the Tasmanian seat of Denison showing Labor regaining a slight lead.
Uncertainty remains over the results in:
- Brisbane (Queensland) - the Liberals are 700 votes ahead
- Hasluck (WA) - the Liberals are 400 ahead
- Dunkley (Victoria) - the Liberals are 500 ahead
- Denison (Tasmania) - Labor is ahead of the independent Mr Wilkie
- Boothby (SA) - the Liberals are 600 ahead
It is looking most likely the major parties will have 73 seats apiece and needing the backing of three other MPs to form government.
Ms Gillard this afternoon insisted Labor was best placed to provide stable and effective government and have legislation passed through a Parliament in which the Greens will hold the balance of power in the Senate.
Mr Abbott, meanwhile, was saying less today but remained equally determined the Coalition would be a better choice for the independents.
Behind the scenes the Coalition is saying the independents' electorates of New England, Lyne and Kennedy, are inherently conservative and that voters there would not approve of any deal to keep Labor in power.
Also there is some suggestion the Coalition is leaving itself the opportunity to beef up its broadband policy, which all three independents cite as a major issue.
Ms Gillard says she will not conduct negotiations with the independents through the media.
"I want to assure everyone that those negotiations will be conducted diligently, with integrity, properly and in good faith," Ms Gillard said.
"I do want to sensibly manage the expectations of Australians as this process takes place. It will take a period of time."
When asked if the role of speaker or a ministry would be up for consideration as part of negotiations, Ms Gillard said she would not play "rule-in, rule-out" games.
She also ruled out making changes to the mining tax to gain the support of WA National Tony Crook, who toppled long-standing Liberal MP Wilson Tuckey.
Mr Crook is a member of the West Australian Nationals, which is independent from the federal Nationals, and has warned the Coalition that his support is far from assured.
But he says he remains firmly against the resource rent tax, which is a key Labor policy.
"I'll not be drawn into a bidding war on specific policies," he said.
"My campaign platform was clear: we need a mechanism for delivering funding into regional WA, no matter who is in power."
'Red team or blue team'
It is likely Mr Oakeshott will get a chance to meet Ms Gillard and Mr Abbott before he meets Mr Windsor and Mr Katter, although the three independents have been in touch via telephone.
Mr Oakeshott is expected to arrive in Canberra tonight, while Mr Windsor, who was on his way to Canberra, will now stay in Sydney because he will be on ABC TV's Q and A program tonight.
Mr Katter is not expected to arrive from North Queensland until tomorrow night.
Mr Oakeshott said he received calls from both leaders today but he was not interested in siding with either major party.
"I don't have to pick a red team or a blue team. I don't have to pick Julia or Tony," he said.
"What I do have to do is find a way to work together to get a process in place where we can have a confident Parliament with a clear majority."
Senator Mark Arbib, who aided in the demise of Kevin Rudd, has been withdrawn from the Q and A program in an apparent sign of Labor wanting to close down talk of recriminations following its poor showing in the polls.
A slanging match erupted today between senior Labor figures in New South Wales after former premier Morris Iemma described its campaign as the most inept in living memory and called for ALP federal secretary Karl Bitar to resign.
Anna Bligh, the Premier of Queensland and also national president of the ALP, has called for cool heads to prevail and to stop the blame game.
"I say to federal Labor and some of those who think that the way through these difficult issues is to point the finger and blame others - we all need to hear the message.
"I don't intend to let the New South Wales disease that sees leadership as a revolving door undermine a democratic mandate in Queensland.
"There will be a lot of consideration of Saturday's result and there will be probably as many theories as there are commentators.
"But I think one thing is clear and that is that taking on and rolling democratically elected leaders is not necessarily a silver bullet in tough times."

UI 2.0 Improvements Part I: Structure and Flow
Editorial, Featured Articles, MechWarrior Online, Upcoming Content
The previews of UI 2.0 have arrived, and things are not looking good. The interface is, though visually improved, mired in many of the same mistakes made in the first UI. A slick tile and filter interface are vast improvements over the lists of UI 1.5, but the new UI is often more awkward to use than its predecessor. In this series of articles, I'll be making constructive suggestions and showing off my terribad paintshopping skills.
The Home Page
The new UI changes the basic flow as described in this concept mock-up. Rather than information simply flowing from the top to the bottom in a hierarchical manner like the current UI, it wastes screen space by having both vertical and horizontal navigation. While it's not terrible, it is inferior to the current setup for both ease of navigation and use of screen space. I recommend moving back to the old layout and moving all important information to the top of the screen.
The Mechlab Screen
The Mechlab wouldn't really change aside from having more screen real estate and hopefully a change to the 'mech stats. My version isn't exactly inspiring, but again, information should flow from the top to the bottom. It just makes more sense.
The Loadout Screen
The loadout screen needs the biggest changes to improve usability. The current UI 2.0 implementation demands too much clicking because it doesn't utilize its own filter. Each category of equippable item like Missiles, Ammo, and Engines requires an extra click upon selecting a component. Rather than simply than selecting Ammo on a filter and cycling through components, throwing ammo where you need it, you're forced to click Ammo as a sub-menu of each component.
The hierarchical layout and saved space from putting things in the upper-left corner allow full stats to be displayed on the left (though on second look, they'd be better on the right), while the filter allows for players to easily cycle around their 'mech in an assembly line process: put the weapons in each component, then the ammo, then the equipment. Though not all players build their 'mechs in such a way, it helps those that do greatly, while the others are unaffected – those that build their 'mechs component-by-component are doomed to inefficiency regardless of which interface is chosen (though having a default "All" filter for equipment types would really help).
The final addition is what we all really want: the "All Components" view. My mock-up is bad, but the spirit is there. Being able to see all of the components and critical spaces simultaneously is seriously important for advanced players. It takes three times longer to build a 'mech in the game than it does in every third party tool available – what does that say?
As a final note, after looking at it, I'm more inclined to think the expanded 'mech stats should go all the way on the right side, and the components and 'mech model should scoot to the left. I'm lazy, so you'll have to use your imagination.
The new UI has plenty of other minor problems, but the flow issues are not difficult to address. I do sincerely hope PGI considers changes to what they have. Otherwise, all this time will have been for nothing in terms of the user experience.

Solid suggestions. The clunkiness of their proposed mechlab seems a bit absurd in functionality.

I don't think I know anyone who can say they've never had a headache. And some have them often enough that they're given about as much attention as a hiccup or a sneeze. But sometimes, a headache can be more than a headache.
I was in Minneapolis doing a rotation in neurology through a university headache clinic. A lot of people were referred through primary care physicians and some even from other neurologists. They were strange headaches to them, but headaches that were frequently seen by these university neurologists in Minneapolis.
I remember seeing a professional football player who had cluster headaches with such intense pain that it brought him to tears. There were many middle aged and older people, but there's one girl I remember in particular. She was 23 years old and was given to me to see with no pre-screening. Read more on Headache or Tumor…

I read a joke once about a husband's preemptive strike in the bedroom. He walks in holding two aspirin and a glass of water. When his wife asks what it's for he says it's for her headache. She replies "But I don't have a headache." "Gotcha!"
Headaches are no fun, so we might as well get a little chuckle at their expense. And if you suffer from sinus headaches, there might be quick and inexpensive relief your doctor hasn't shared with you.
Listen, I have had allergies since I was small but sinus headaches have been rare. That is, until I got my complete dental implants. They have wildly improved my quality of life, but I have had more intense and regular sinus headaches as a result. My surgeon had removed teeth prior to the implants and freely admitted he had been up in my sinus area. He said I could see an ear nose and throat specialist if the sinus headaches became too much of a problem. He tried to ignore my laughter as I told him I could fix this myself.

Ahh – 19 years old! It is a magical age. At least it has been my experience in public mental health clinics.
You see, almost without exception any male of 19 years who appears in my office – is a really messed up and sometimes just, plain rotten fellow.
I don't know what it is about 19.
One of the typical cases – though legally an adult — was functionally a kid, living with his parents and acting out the same kind of adolescent rebellion that most go through at 14 or 15 and out-grow by 17.
Oh, he had it all — One of those cylinders in his earlobe, spreading a hole from a small piercing to the size of a basketball. He told me it was "tribal." He was a music major at a local, broken down branch of the state college. He wanted to be a performance artist.

Findings from a University of Alabama at Birmingham study published Dec. 9 in the journal Pediatrics show that adolescent girls who experience their first menstrual cycle prior to age 11 reported more delinquent and physically aggressive behavior.
By age 16, the effect of early puberty on physical aggression disappeared, but these girls still reported more delinquent behavior than those who did not experience early puberty.
"Delinquency and aggression put adolescents at risk for many negative outcomes in the future, including lower educational achievement, substance abuse, depression and problems in relationships," explained the study's lead author Sylvie Mrug, Ph.D., associate professor in the UAB Department of Psychology. "Thus it is important to understand how these problem behaviors develop and how pubertal timing and friends' behavior -- among other variables -- contribute to them."
Mrug and colleagues interviewed more than 2,600 girls and their parents three times between the ages of 11-16 to examine how early puberty onset and best friends' problem behavior, like talking back to adults, lying, cheating and not being nice, contributed to delinquency and different types of aggression over time.
Girls who had a best friend with more problem behavior reported more delinquent and aggressive behavior at age 11, but these effects mostly dissipated by age 16.
"This suggests that negative peer influences from best friends at age 11 are short-lived, perhaps because best friends change as children enter middle school," Mrug said. "The most interesting finding was that girls who experienced early puberty reported more delinquent behavior if their best friend was more deviant."
The results suggest that early maturing girls are more vulnerable to negative peer influences.
"It is important for parents and other adults to monitor who the friends are and what the girls do with their friends," Mrug said. "Of course this is important for all children and adolescents, but it may be even more critical for girls who mature early, as they are more vulnerable."
Another result is that early puberty and best friends' behavior at age 11 do not put girls on trajectories of long-term problem behaviors, according to Mrug.
"These influences can be short-lived, and this may give hope to families dealing with such issues," she said.
Mrug says it is important to have more studies that follow girls and boys from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood to see how much different risk factors matter in the long-term. Further study is needed to examine other relevant risk and protective factors such as social support or parenting influences.
The sample of girls came from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds, and results showed that most of the relationships between early puberty, friends' behavior and aggression and delinquency are the same across race and ethnicity.

Treasured Nights on a Carnival Cruise
Destination Ventures International-VTT • Miami, FL
Escape Kit
- A Four-Day Carnival Cruise for Two in a 4A Interior Room, including Two Additional Nights in a Hotel
- Three Daily Meals and Non-Alcoholic Drinks on the Cruise*
- Trip Options:
- Long Beach, CA to Baja Mexico with Stops in Catalina and Ensenada
- Miami, FL to the Western Caribbean with a Stop in Cozumel
- New Orleans, LA to the Western Caribbean with a Stop in Cozumel
- Port Canaveral, FL to the Bahamas with Stops in Freeport and Nassau
- *Non-Alcoholic Drinks Include Coffee, Tea, Juice, Milk and Water and Meals are Included for the Main Dining Room, Lido Deck Buffet, 24-Hour Room Service, and 24-Hour Pizza
When you're looking out from winter's edge, the next few months seem like shark-infested waters. But avast, matey! You don't have to walk the plank shaking in your boots. When you ship out on this Escape with Destination Ventures International-VTT, there will be nothing but blue skies ahead.
As captain of your two-person crew, you can draw the map of your four-day getaway ($569). Set sail from Long Beach to Baja Mexico, with stops in Catalina and Ensenada, or port in Nassau and Freeport on your way from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas. If you'd like your sails to stretch in a different direction, catch the trade winds from Miami or New Orleans to the Western Caribbean, and set your parrot down in Cozumel, Mexico.
With the Carnival Land & Sea package, you'll have a hotel room in the area on the night before you leave and on the night you return. Hop aboard the Carnival cruise line and point your sword in the direction of a 4A interior room. Once your booty is safely stowed away, treat your taste buds to a feast in the Main Dining Room, at the Lido Deck Buffet, or with 24-hour room service or pizza. You can have as much as your bootstraps can hold, since three daily meals are included.
While the ship sails the high seas, play a game of basketball, sing your heart out at the piano bar, place your bets at the roulette table, or dive into the on-board water park.
"More high-energy than cerebral, the entertainment consists of lavish Las Vegas-style revues presented in main show lounges by a company of singers and dancers," says Fodor's. "Other performers might include magicians, jugglers, acrobats, and even passengers taking part in the talent show or stepping up to the karaoke microphone."
Jump ship at dry land, and explore the area. If your anchor has dropped in Ensenada, find hidden treasures at the sprawling Mercado Los Globos, and then tour the Riviera del Pacifico—an alleged haunt of Al Capone. Come out of your shell at the Atlantis Waterscape—an open-air museum complete with 200 marine life species and a lazy river—in Nassau. And while in Cozumel, snorkel in the stunning reef of Arrecife Palancar.
When you hook this Escape, the sunny seas are under your command, cap'n.
"When you're hankering for an utterly unpretentious and totally laid-back cruise, Carnival's colorful, jumbo-size resort ships deliver... If you like the flash of Vegas and a serious party vibe, you'll love Carnival's brand of flamboyant fun."-- Frommer's
