Up Parent Review
Marrying fantastical premises with charming, believable characters, this aerostat adventure is a definite thumbs "Up" experience for everyone from older children to senior citizens.
Movie Review
When a studio is as consistently successful as Pixar has been, audiences almost hold their breath in anticipation of a misstep. Thankfully, we can all inhale deeply. Honored as the first animation and first 3D film to open the Cannes Film Festival, Up celebrates the elderly in much the same way The Incredibles validates those who are experiencing middle age.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Still, despite the company's track record for family friendly fare, don't expect this film to be suitable for all ages. Several intense scenes, including one in which a man sustains a bloody injury after being hit over the head with a cane and the portrayal of a house fire, are likely too frightening for young or sensitive viewers.
The aging hero of the story is Carl Fredricksen (voiced by Edward Asner). Despite some disappointments through the years, he has lived a full and satisfying life. But the 78-year-old man still has one childhood goal to achieve—a promise he made to himself and his friend Ellie (voiced by Elie Doctor). With his house now surrounded by ever encroaching urban development, Carl uses hundreds of colorful, helium-filled balloons to lift both him and his home out of the city and propel them off on a quest to visit an exotic, foreign location.
However, while hovering high above the countryside, Carl discovers a stowaway on his front porch. Russell (voiced by Jordan Nagai) is an earnest but woefully inexperienced Wilderness Explorer who was hunting for snipes under the house when the building became airborne. Pleading to be let in, Russell joins the ill-humored old man on his high-flying voyage.
As with life, the fun of this film is all about the journey rather that arriving at the destination. Meeting up with a mutt named Dug (voiced by Bob Peterson) who can literally speak and a richly plumaged bird named Kevin, Carl and Russell also tangle with three imposing canines, Alpha (also voiced by Bob Peterson), Beta (voiced by Delroy Lindo) and Gamma (voiced by Jerome Ranft).
Pixar's attention to the most minuscule of details, like dust particles wafting through an abandoned house and the thickening stubble on an old man's face, give visual depth and reality to this 3D experience. Meanwhile, a strong storyline that is equally funny, tender, poignant and hopeful propels Up far beyond the realms of a mere children's cartoon. The jokes are based not so much on slapstick as they are the funny realities of life, like those experienced by any parent and child on a long road trip.
Marrying fantastical premises with charming, believable characters, this aerostat adventure is a definite thumbs Up experience for everyone from older children to senior citizens.Starring Edward Asner, Jordan Nagai, John Ratzenberger. Running time: 96 minutes. Theatrical release May 29, 2009. Updated July 25, 2016

What does Carl have to get rid of in order to be the hero in this film? How can possessions, past grievances or other issues keep people from progressing or fully enjoying life? What positive things come out of his relationship with Russell?
To get the eager Wilderness Explorer to quit bothering him, Carl sends Russell on a snipe hunt. For anyone who hasn't gone to camp or experienced this activity, you can learn more at this Wikipedia article.
Having lost our family pet in the recent past, I wonder what our dog would have said if he had been given a voice. Would you want to be able to have your pet "speak" or is it better to have the benefit of a more silent companion?

Believed to have once been the home of the village Governor in centuries gone by, Sakin Bahce is a very special house. It was restored from dereliction in 2003 using the finest materials and local craftsmen to create a home that is spacious, comfortable and authentic. It has been called 'the best house in Uzumlu'.
Furnished with hand made furniture and antique, carved wood there are many places from which to enjoy the wonderful views of the garden, pool & mountains.
Sakin Bahce (Tranquil Garden) sits in a large, walled garden offering space & privacy. Fruit trees including fig & pomegranate together with the small kitchen garden supply the freshest of fruit, vegetables and herbs. Numerous roses, shrubs and plants provide colour and scent.
The oval pool is 9.5 x 4.5 metres with water flowing over the edge to provide the soothing sound of a gentle waterfall.
Breathe in the mountain air; soak up the village atmosphere and relax in your own personal retreat.
Things to do: You could just enjoy relaxing in the garden with the occasional swim in the pool. However, there is much to do within the local area including great walks, an abundance of historical sites, sailing, shopping, pampering and eating out.
We have been visiting this area of Turkey since 1991 and know the area well. Based on our experience we'd recommend the following activities:
Charter a boat for the day and really get to appreciate the outstanding coastline of the greater Fethiye Bay.
Vist the ancient site of Pinara, Tlos, Xanthos, Letoon & Patara - all within apprximately one hour of Sakin Bahce
Walk around Kadyanda ( Lycian & Roman ruined city) and vist the rock tombs hidden in the forest above Uzumlu.
Watch the sun go down & the many paragliders at Turkey's most famous beach (Olu Deniz)
Soak up the atmosphere as you walk around the deserted village of Kaya Koy.
Experience a Turkish bath and massage
Enjoy a traditional Turkish breakfast - we have two favourite venues; one in a mountain setting and one closer to the coast - both serve home grown & cooked seasonal food.
If you have any questions about the local area and what it can offer, please get in touch.
Originally from Dumfries in Scotland and Saddleworth in England we now live in Cheshire.
When we first visitied Fethiye in 1991 we fell in love with the stunning scenery, archaeological history and culture.We've also come to love the warmth of Turkish hospitality and traditional Turkish cuisine.
We have travelled to many great places in the world, but the Fethiye area of Turkey has a special place in our hearts. Sakin Bahce is not just a holiday rental, it is our home.
Beverley Grant purchased this villa in 2002
We were staying with Turkish friends in Kaya Koy when we decided to spend an afternoon looking at property. We wanted to live alongside local people in a village community. We went to Uzumlu ( about 20 kms) from Fethiye and saw two old houses which had just been restored / extended. We were immediately drawn to the idea of giving new life to an old village house. Our architect showed us the derelict building and together we spent a year creating what is now our much loved home. It's also a very special place. The villagers tell us it was once the home of the village Governer. It is the largest, renovated house in the area.
From all aspects there are fabulous views of the surrounding mountains.
To stay here is to enjoy a little piece of Turkish history combined with modern comforts.
Situated within a conservation zone, the house has a great location tucked away at the end of a cul de sac. It is private yet less than 5 minutes on foot from the centre of the village.
Recent guests described the garden as an 'Edenic paradise'.
The renovation combines many traditional features and materials with some of the necessities of modern life such as air conditioned bedrooms.
We love our home and continue to invest in it. In autumn 2015 we had the sitting room furniture re-upholstered and new curtains and blinds made.
Our second holiday in Sakin Bahce, fantastic place, fantastic holiday. It was our dream to come back here and it's everything and more than we could have asked for. We have fallen in love with all the people in the village who are so welcoming giving us fruit and food for our stay here.
The beautiful villa lived up to and exceeded our expectations: accommodation was clean, very spacious and suited the needs of our family (including children aged 4 and 1). Beautiful views from the two balconies. The infinity pool was larger than we expected, well-maintained and perfect for cooling off. The well-maintained garden with its multiplicity of loungers in various areas offered a range of options for relaxing in sun or in shade.
The house was very well equipped, particularly the kitchen. Air-con - which was very necessary - worked very well in the ground floor bedrooms, less well in the other bedrooms. It would certainly have been welcome in the main 1st floor living room.
The village of Uzumlu was delightful. We appreciated being only 5 minutes walk from the centre yet in a very quiet location. The local people were very friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed the take-away pide salon, the new "Flora and Fauna" café, cocktails at The Grape Garden, the Secret Garden restaurant off the main square, and the Cadianda restauarant which does scrumptious Turkish breakfasts.
The village market on Friday was a highlight, as was the Fethiye Tuesday market and eating at Fethiye Fish Market. Other highlights were the beautiful beach at Patara, the 12-island boat trip (with 4-5 stops for swimming from the boat in delightful coves) and the deserted, atmospheric village of Kayakoy. Olu Deniz offers lovely scenery, watching the paragliders and safe paddling for young children but we found the Blue Lagoon somewhat overcrowded and touristy compared with Patara.
The information provided was accurate and very helpful and Beverley was great at providing additional information and advice on request. She also responded promptly to a couple of technical problems, via the local team who look after the villa.
We would certainly recommend this villa without hesitation and we would definitely like to spend another holiday in Sakin Bahce.
We stayed at this amazing villa as a group of three families (11 of us in total). It is every bit as good as it looks on the website. Spacious, clean and with high quality furnishings and equipment. It is in an ideal quiet location yet only a short walk into the lovely village where there are some really nice and inexpensive restaurants and bars. We have stayed at many holiday villas over the years and this was certainly the best we have ever experienced. Beverley was a wonderful host and went the extra mile at every stage, sending us local information before we arrived and then calling us at the villa to make sure everything was okay. She even sent us a text to let us know of a meteor shower that was taking place one of the evenings, recommending that we view it from the patio in pitch darkness.
I thoroughly recommend this property and can guarantee that you will not find anything better anywhere!!!
This is a fantastic property tucked away in a delightful village. The house as been beautifully restored retaining many original features and provides high quality and extremely comfortable accomodation. it is set amongst other houses in the village and is not overlooked.
The house itself is very well equiped and maintained and is set in an established garden with several fruit trees and a vegetables to pick.
The village itself has a number of restaurants / shops and cafes close at hand and the square is a great place to sit and watch village life, or you can have a shave in the local barbers. Umzulu still retains its charm with a number of houses selling fabrics made by the locals who are always so friendly and welcoming.
The village is within easy distance of the main town of Fethiye, beaches and other attractions.
Overall we wouldn't hesitate in recommending this property to anyone who wanted to experience life in a traditional Turkish setting.

/// U.S. Says No to U.N. Control of the Internet
December 14, 2012 | Media Week
The United States government said no to an international telecommunications treaty over provisions added at the last minute that would broaden the scope of the United Nations to include the Internet. For the U.S. delegation and several Internet companies that attended the World Conference on International Telecommunications in Dubai, the final treaty was a deal-breaker. Terry Kramer, the U.S. ambassador to the WCIT, announced that the U.S. would not sign the International Telecommunications Union treaty on Thursday as the WCIT was wrapping up after 12 days of discussions and negotiations.

Why? Now that I successfully masters all the button commands for Uncharted 2 ND goes and adds more. I think that Uncharted 3 MP looks a lot better in many different aspects but now it looks like I will be dealing with 3 or 4 new melee commands on top of the ones carrying over from Uncharted 2. You can kick people as your both hanging and rush trip players. That's amazing but now I have more problems to deal with. Weapons customizations & bigger Booster variations are going to be sweet and get real personal for everyone's own style of play meaning looking forward to playing someone of a different caliber every game. Tags or emblems with character customizations sweet and I look forward to the new maps and any new climbing features like the quick jumps on every little object toward another little object. I always wanted to do that on Uncharted 2 but now its possible on Uncharted 3. Uncharted 3 is a true 3rd person parkore shooter in my opinion and I am going to love every moment of it on release day.

Guinea urges calm after anti-government protest turns violent
By Saliou Samb
CONAKRY (Reuters) - Authorities in Guinea called for calm on Thursday after more than 100 people were injured in clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces in the capital Conakry.
The government is preparing for a long-delayed parliamentary election the opposition fears will be rigged.
"We call on the population to remain calm," said government spokesman Damantang Albert Camara. "The street is not the place to resolve political disagreements."
A government official said on state television that 130 people were hurt in Wednesday's riots, including 68 members of the security forces, two of whom were in a critical condition.
Thousands of opposition supporters took to the streets to protest against the May election. Clashes broke out between rock-throwing youths and security forces armed with truncheons and teargas grenades.
Police in anti-riot gear were posted in opposition strongholds in the capital on Thursday. Many shops were closed and debris, including burned tires and rocks, littered the streets.
Opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo, who lost narrowly to President Alpha Conde in the 2010 election, accused the security forces of cracking down harshly on demonstrators, adding some were arrested and beaten.
"The president of the republic has a crucial responsibility to create peace. He needs to agree to listen to others, to respect his adversaries," he said. Continued...

Pearl Liang, London - Review
So that is how Mrs. Nibbler and I arrived, luggage and all, at Pearl Liang, located in what estate agents euphemistically call 'Paddington Central' – a newish development of shops, offices and flats in what used to be a triangle of no-man's land, bounded by the railway line, Bishop's Bridge Road and the A40 flyover. Not the most obvious place to find exquisite dim sum, but find it we did.
Pearl Liang opened in 2007 and is owned by Humphrey Lee and Paul Ngo, the former manager and head-chef team of the acclaimed Mandarin Kitchen in nearby Bayswater. Together they have created a real gem of a Chinese (Cantonese) restaurant. For what it's worth, Pearl Liang was recently voted Britain's favourite Chinese restaurant in Tsingtao's third annual Legacy of Taste competition, ahead of over 500 other contenders.
We arrived at the tail end of a busy lunch service and the tables seemed to be packed with office workers finishing off plates of vibrant looking Cantonese food. The interior was an odd mix of glamour and corporate blandness – think of Hakkasan in a Holiday Inn Express and you'll get the idea. But by this point we were too hungry to notice, and almost before we were even seated we started rattling off our order from the extensive dim sum menu. I'm by no means an expert on yum cha, so I played it fairly safe and stuck with things I was familiar with. This was hardly the time for experimentation; we had appetites to feed! After a short pause the food started to roll out of the kitchen in double time and we were rewarded with stunningly fresh dim sum. As the first few delicious bites began to appease our ravenous bellies I could start to relax, safe in the knowledge that this would be a good meal.
First to arrive was prawn cheung fun (£3.20) served with a sweet soya sauce that was pored over it tableside. The slippery rice noodle rolls were packed with moist king prawns and the dish was a real delight.
The whole lunch, including the charge for the brusque, but efficient service, a bottle of Tsingtao beer and water, came to £30, which left Mrs. Nibbler and I giggling like schoolgirls at the seeming absurdity of it. Maybe I've been in Norway for too long, where £30 will probably cover one main course in a semi-decent restaurant in Oslo, but Pearl Liang seemed like an extraordinary bargain to me, and served some of the best dim sum I've had in the capital. Suffice it to say that I think I now have a new favourite dining ritual for when I am fresh off the plane in London.

Hello everybody.
I have a problem I would like to share with you. I live nearby a canal, where rats are often sighted. Some neighbours have complained about rats in their homes, and I am now wondering whether I have some in my own.
Yesterday I went to get one of my bags which was on the floor underneath some other bags. Upon getting my bag I found that the bag and its contents and the floor were very wet. I have no idea what the liquid could be and am now wondering whether it could be rat urine. So, as you are the experts I thought I would ask the following:
1) What exactly does rat urine smell like? (I have heard that it is a musky smell, but would prefer a more precise description)
2) How much does the average rat pass when they urinate? (e.g. a few tsps, or half a glass?)
3) Do they always excrete faeces when they urinate?
Thanks in advance, I hope you can put my mind at rest!

Glenn Lewis
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (April 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Glenn Lewis
|Background information
|Birth name
|Glenn Ricketts
|March 13, 1975
|Toronto, Ontario, Canada
|Neo soul
|Years active
|Sanctuary Records, Ruffhouse Records, Capitol Records, Epic Records
|Associated acts
|Stanley Clarke, Kardinal Offishall, Melanie Fiona, Amel Larrieux
Glenn Lewis (born Glenn Ricketts on March 13, 1975) is a Grammy nominated Canadian neo soul singer–songwriter, best known for his singles "Don't You Forget It" and "It's Not Fair". His father was a member of the Columbia recording group Crack of Dawn.[1] Lewis has cited Stevie Wonder as his biggest inspiration, and Lewis has often been compared to him because of the similarities in their tones.[2]
Early life[edit]
Lewis was born in Toronto to a Trinidadian mother, who was a musician and Jamaican father, who also was a musician[3] and singer known as Glen Ricks[3] who was a former protege of the late Donny Hathaway. From the age of eight to fourteen, he lived in Trinidad before moving back to Toronto.[2] His father, Ricks, was the leader singer for Crack ov Dawn who performed in the 1970s.[3] As his mother was a musician, he would escort his parents to his recording studios.[3] Originally planning to pursue a career in animation as a teenager, Lewis instead decided to focus on music. After moving back to the city, he attended high school at Eastern Commerce Collegiate, where he won a talent contest by covering Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You". After high school, Lewis began recording demos and performing at nightclubs, eventually becoming a respected act in the city.[3]
Early success[edit]
Lewis parlayed his Toronto success into the release of his first single, "The Thing to Do", in 1997 on Beat Factory/BMG Music Canada. The song earned him a Juno Award nomination for Best R&B/Soul Recording. His second single, "Bout Your Love", was released in 1998 and garnered a second consecutive Juno nomination. That year, he also appeared on the remix of Maestro's single "Stick to Your Vision". In 1999, he was featured on the track "Whatever It Takes", which appeared on fellow Canadian singer Jazmin's debut album Better Be Good. The following year, Lewis was featured on Baby Blue Soundcrew's single "Only Be in Love", from their compilation album Private Party Collectors Edition, earning him his third consecutive Juno nomination. This exposure eventually landed him a deal with Epic Records.
World Outside My Window[edit]
Lewis' debut album on Epic Records, World Outside My Window, was released on March 19, 2002. Fueled by the hit single "Don't You Forget It", the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard charts. The single earned him a Juno for Best R&B/Soul Recording. He promoted the album by touring with Alicia Keys and Tweet, among others.[4] The album spawned a second single, "It's Not Fair" which peaked at Number 90 on the R&B chart.
In 2002, Lewis recorded a cover version of "Superstition" for the tribute album, Conception: An Interpretation of Stevie Wonder's Songs. He also made an appearance in the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. He contributed the song "Fall Again" to the film's soundtrack. "Fall Again" was originally written by Walter Afanasieff and Robin Thicke for Michael Jackson's Invincible album to compose, but did not make it on the track list. However, a demo of the song by Michael Jackson was later released on the Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection CD set.[5] Later that year, he released his first concert DVD, Glenn Lewis Live.
In 2003, Lewis began work on his sophomore album Back for More. The first single, also titled "Back for More", and featuring rapper Kardinal Offishall, was released to radio and a video began to air.[6] However, the album was later shelved by his label.
Later that year, Lewis netted a Grammy nomination for his contribution to Stanley Clarke's "Where Is the Love", a duet also featuring Amel Larrieux. Lewis was also the recipient of an International Achievement Award for the song "Don't You Forget It" at the SOCAN Awards in Toronto.[7]
In 2006, he signed with Underdog Entertainment and began work on an album with The Underdogs titled, Remember Me which was to be released in 2007. He premiered the song "Storm" in October 2006 which created a huge viral buzz in the underground soul music world.[8] Shortly thereafter in 2007, Lewis parted ways with The Underdogs.[9]
During this time Lewis performed frequently overseas, particularly in London where he developed a strong following.
Moment of Truth[edit]
Lewis reconnected with Andre Harris and Vidal Davis "Dre & Vidal", the producers of his first album, "World Outside My Window" in 2009.

The Charles Dibrell Chapter was honored to recognize Henrietta Martinez Christmas the with NSDAR's Historic Recognition Award. This award was presented to her for her work of genealogical and historical research in the Rio-Arriba region of New Mexico. Her long standing study/knowledge is a tremendous source of information in regards to Hispanic genealogy. A native New Mexican, she descends from 11 soldiers who came to NM with don Juan de Onate in 1898. Her research of the Santa Fe Presidio has resulted in several verified Spanish soldier patriots for DAR and SAR applications.
She has published more than 150 articles relating to genealogy of families in NM. Henrietta has also authored over 15 books. She has been extensively published in Herencia Journal. She has over 25 topics on which she regularly lectures many of which she has made videos of so that the schools have access to the information. With others in the state she has translated hundreds of Spanish documents.
She is a past board member of the Historical Society of New Mexico, which was founded on December 26, 1859. It is the oldest historical society west of the Mississippi River. During the Civil War, it suspended activities, but soon resumed its role in preserving New Mexico's History.

Thieves of Baghdad
by Matthew Bogdanos
No current Talk conversations about this book.
BBC Programme with horrible destruction by ISIS of archaeological treasures in Iraq
This was an eye-opening overview of the "situation" at the Iraq Museum after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, from an insider's perspective. The detail of the museum's heirarchy, its collections and the looting which occured there was overwhelming and made for a fascinating read.
The only thing keeping this book from scoring higher in my review was the fact that it wasn't JUST about the museum. In hindsite, this book was equal parts nonfiction analysis of the museum, its artifacts and their theft AND biography of Matthew Bodganos, the marine responsible for coordinating the recovery efforts and (apparently) single handedly forcing the entire US Governmental System to recognize his need to do so.
Don't get me wrong, Bogdanos is an incredible individual. If you doubt me, just read this book, and he'll tell you ALL about himself. I almost gave up on the book because after the initial chapter served to lock me in to what promised to be a great treatise on archaeology/art theft/museum (mis)management the book drifted back to the making of the marine. And this guy is no ordinary marine - he's no ordinary mortal. Marine or not, you do not come across many individuals who quote Cicero before knocking down a door. He was obviously the right person for this job - I just wish he didn't spend the ENTIRE book trying to prove that to the reader. Clearly the man is wiser than I (me???), but I don't need to be reminded of it. It got a little too much when he began quoting people I had never even heard of (or, of whom I had never heard).
But, after skimming about 100 pages, I got to the meat of the book - the museum and the looting. And after that, I couldn't put it down. 8:00am presentation? Who cares, I'm up until 2am finishing this book.
Because I'm obsessed with LibraryThing, I consistently think about my review as I read the book, and how many stars it will get. After about page 135, this book climbed from a 1 star (something I almost never give) to the 4 stars it ended up with.
It really is an enlightening read (in many ways) and Bogdanos really does a better job than anyone else probably could have of putting the situation in Baghdad into perspective and trying to un-politicize an event which was spun every direction depending on your view of ... (fill in the blank).
I picked this book up after a glowing review in the USA Today book section and was not disappointed. Bogdanos would seem to be a hugely patriotic guy, as someone who has spent his entire career in the service of the US government in one form or another. But the book doesn't come across as a flag waiving, pound the drum type of novel, which was refreshing. Instead, it's an insightful look at the seedy underworld of stolen antiquities and into what life was like in Baghdad immediately after troops starting pouring over the border.
Sometimes interesting, sometimes sanctamonous, sometimes dull, sometimes informative, not a bad read.

Following a freshman campaign that saw him earn Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American honors, University of Louisville pitcher Kyle Funkhouser was expected to fill a more important role during his second year with the Cardinals and he's delivering.
The righty from Oak Forest, Ill., has settled into the Friday starter role and currently leads the team in innings pitched (79.0), strikeouts (73) and has the lowest ERA (2.05) among starting pitchers. Most importantly, he has won 9 of his 12 starts.
In his last outing, the opening game of a key three-game set at conference foe South Florida, Funkhouser was solid in helping the Cardinals claim a 3-1 victory. He stuck out 8, while giving up just 4 hits and throwing a scoreless 7.1 innings.
"I struggled in the first a little bit again and Coach Williams had to make another mound visit," said Funkhouser. "He said to trust your stuff, get ahead and do what you are capable of doing and after that I was pretty clean. I think I had a first and third later in the game and then Cole [Sturgeon] comes in and gets a double play."His effort landed him the honor of being named the American Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week.
"It feels good, especially since [USF's Jimmy Herget] threw on Saturday and he threw really well, as well," he said. "It's a great honor because there are so many good pitchers in this league."
U of L pitching coach Roger Williams has been impressed by the progress of Funkhouser. While he needs to do a better job of finding his rhythm early and remaining focused throughout his time on the mound, his development has him on par with previous great Friday starters.
"He's understanding of things he needs to do to be successful," Williams told Cardinal Authority. "He's got a great arm and good stuff. You look at him mechanically and he's rock solid. Sometimes he just needs to keep himself on task because he'll maybe lose his focus at times and that's why you see a guy who throws as clean as he does, but he has maybe five walks in a game and he should never have that."Funkhouser is next scheduled to pitch on Friday against AAC opponent Temple in Philadelphia.
"He's done what the other great one's on Friday night have done in this program. That's get us to the seventh inning or more on a consistent basis and give us a chance to win. That was the challenge set out for him when we moved him to Friday and in that regard, Kyle has been outstanding for us and has given us that opportunity."

USES: Phentermine is used with a doctor-approved exercise, behavior change, and reduced-calorie diet program to help you lose weight. It is used by certain overweight people, such as those who are obese or have weight-related medical problems. Losing weight and keeping it off can lessen the many health risks that come with obesity, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a shorter life.
It is not known how this medication helps people to lose weight. It may work by decreasing your appetite, increasing the amount of energy used by your body, or by affecting certain parts of the brain. This medication is an appetite suppressant and belongs to a class of drugs called sympathomimetic amines.

This medication is usually taken for only a few weeks at a time. It should not be taken with other appetite suppressants (see also Drug Interactions section). The possibility of serious side effects increases with longer use of this medication and use of this drug along with certain other diet drugs.
This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as depression, severe tiredness) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.
Rarely, abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction) is possible with this medication. Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently, or use it for a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed.
This medication may stop working well after you have been taking it for a few weeks. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well. Do not increase the dose unless directed by your doctor. Your doctor may direct you to stop taking this medication.

I thought this should be split from the Cooking thread.

As seen in the picture at http://www.csm.ornl.gov/~geist/Philmont
We only took one of the MYOG tents. The boys used more traditional shelters such as Sierra Design Lightening.
A couple crew members talked about making light tents like mine for our Philmont trek, but they didn't get them finished before we had to leave. The 18 oz tent held up just fine. No problems or signs of wear and tear.
To learn more, go to the URL above. I just uploaded a new long article about the tent construction, the innovations that make it strong and tough (hint the Space Blanket does not carry the loads), and discussion of the different materials I considered in building it (from Cuben to polyethylene).Aug 30, 2009 at 1:00 pm #1523824
Thanks for expanding your original document. It will prove quite helpful. I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions still. :)
Does your 18 oz figure include all the cords, stakes and "floor" or just the main body? What kind of size does it all pack down to?
Was the duct tape used clear for purely aesthetic reasons?
What type of condensation issues did you have since it's barely vented while raining?Sep 6, 2009 at 1:44 pm #1525448
> Does your 18 oz figure include all the cords, stakes and
> "floor" or just the main body?
18oz for main body and all cordage
4oz for the 9'x9' sheet used for the disposable floor
1oz for 22 wire stakes (plenty and then some)
1oz for dry sack that I put it all in
24oz Total
> What kind of size does it all pack down to?
If you want to get crazy compact. I used to pack the
mylar tent body, cordage, and stakes in a quart ziplock bag!
I packed the floor into a second quart ziplock.
After a few trips I came to my senses and realized I was
spending more time getting the tent into the ziplock than
it took to take the tent down. So I got "less crazy"
and just put the stakes, cordage, floor, and body all in
a single small drysack in the order shown in the article.
The dry sack is 11"x7"x3" and I can squeeze the air out
AFTER putting everything into the sack to make it smaller.
Much faster, easier to pack up the tent this way.
> Was the duct tape used clear for purely aesthetic reasons?
No. You want to use "Scotch Transparent Duct Tape"
for the following reasons:
– The clear duct tape is 6X more UV resistant, i.e. it will
last six times longer than gray tape when exposed to the
sun's rays
– The gray tape has cloth reinforcement, which you can tear with your fingers.
The clear duct tape uses a mesh of plastic filaments (like strapping tape) which you can't tear. You have to cut the tape.
– The plastic reinforcements provide a stronger base for
sewing through. The sewing thread is going in and out around these plastic filaments
– The Scotch brand uses waterproof glue. I used some really
cheap tape on earlier prototypes and found that not all vendors
use waterproof glue.
And one other note. I used 1" wide strips of the tape in
building the tents. I cut the 2" wide duct tape roll in half
with an Exacto knife.
> What type of condensation issues did you have
I have had no condensation issues with the tent. I have been surprised, but I recently found out why in Mariah Walton's 2004 BPL article on Night Time Condensation on Tarp and Tent Fabrics, she first determined that tarp-walls cool below air temperature because they emit infrared radiation. She subsequently followed up this observation by testing several aluminized materials, such as a mylar blanket, that do not emit in the infrared. Theoretically this means that these materials do not cool below air temperature. In practice, she found there was no condensation on the mylar blanket during the twelve night testing period!
At Philmont the air is so dry that condensation was not an
issue. In Tennessee, where I'm from, humidity and rain are
the norm. In Tennessee I have avoided condensation issues by
– leaving the rain flaps rolled up when not raining provides huge cross-flow ventilation.
– overlap the rain flaps so that they are a couple inches apart so there is still good cross-flow ventilation but rain sheds off.
– heavy blowing rain. Button up the tent tight and keep saying to yourself "it is a lot dryer in here than out there"Sep 6, 2009 at 3:34 pm #1525464
Very interesting…
I'm new to all this stuff, but yesterday it occurred to me that I could make a small lightweight tent using an old-school Coughlin's tube tent as a starting point.
I would just need to work on the ends to keep the bugs and water out and let me and air in and I would be good to go.
What do you think?
I read the posts on Philmont and don't get how you closed up the ends of the tent you made before you attached waterproofing. Will you explain more?
Thanks!Sep 6, 2009 at 3:38 pm #1525466
Oh yeah….
Can I buy some of those fabrics and zippers from stores, or is it all mail-order?
I live in a built-up suburb with all the usual chain stores around.Sep 6, 2009 at 4:54 pm #1525483
> I used 1" wide strips of the tape in building the tents. I cut the 2" wide duct tape roll in half with an Exacto knife.
Always looking to save weight. :) Interesting about the differences in the duct tape – I didn't know that. In your notebook sketches, you refer to both clear duct tape and "Scotch Ultimate tape". I don't find anything on the latter.
Also, did you butt the body blankets together or overlap? It appears the former based on your dims.
I'm also impressed your wire stakes can go into packed down tent sites like that. What approx gauge is your lawn mower cable?
I have 3 blankets on the way. Now I just need time to put something together!Sep 7, 2009 at 7:45 am #1525621
> Can I buy some of those fabrics and zippers from stores,
> or is it all mail-order?
Hi David,
I ended up getting the materials mail-order.
You may want to check out the MYOG forum (make your own gear)
here at BackpackingLight.com for possible sources.
Long, lightweight, #3 zippers were the hardest thing
I had to find. You need double-pull zippers, so you
have a handle to unzip the tent from the inside and
from the outside. I got mine from thru-hiker.comSep 7, 2009 at 8:28 am #1525630
> Interesting about the differences in the duct tape – I didn't know that. In your notebook sketches, you refer to both clear duct tape and "Scotch Ultimate tape". I don't find anything on the latter.
Hi Michael,
Check out "Part 3" of Char-e-it construction at
for pictures of both types of tape. I got both at Home Depot. Although I wrote "ultimate" tape in my notes, the official name is "Scotch Extreme Application Tape". The tape has stronger reinforcing filaments (130 lbs/in) and more aggressive glue compared to clear duct tape, but I don't know it's UV rating. It costs about $1 more a roll.
> did you butt the body blankets together or overlap
I butted the blankets. I stretched them out on an 8' 2×4 to remove the wrinkles from the edges before taping.
Here a couple tips I learned the hard way:
— The tape and blanket have electrostatic charges that attract each other. I would be getting the next few inches of tape lined up and the blanket would suddenly jump up the 1/4" to the tape hovering above.
— Once the duct tape touches the blanket, it can not be removed. So go slowly and carefully on the top seam.
I had to put in deliberate wrinkles in one spot to get everything lined up again after the blanket jumped up and touched the tape before it was aligned.Sep 7, 2009 at 11:41 am #1525690

So…..any comments on using a Coughlan's tube tent as a starting point for a cheap, light tent?Sep 7, 2009 at 2:48 pm #1525762
John S.BPL Member
The tube tent is polyethylene, not mirrored, and probably a little higher mil than a heatsheet?Sep 7, 2009 at 3:20 pm #1525770
> I'm also impressed your wire stakes can go into packed down tent sites like that. What approx gauge?
Hi Michael,
I just measured the spring steel wire I used. It is 1/16" diameter. I think that translates to be 16 gauge.
The reason the wire stakes are easy to insert is because
the frontal area is so small. There is very little ground that has to be pushed out of the way. A small twist back and forth has always been enough to push in the wire stakes right up to the head. This was true at all our Philmont camp sites as well as on our shakedown hikes.
There is only one place I have had no luck getting in the stakes. It was in a packed gravel tent bed of an RV campsite. The message is don't do ultralight camping in RV campsites.Sep 7, 2009 at 3:38 pm #1525779
> The tube tent is polyethylene, not mirrored, and probably a little higher mil than a heatsheet?
Hi John,
The Coghlan tube tent is 2.5 mil which is about 5 times thicker that a heatsheet and is not mirrored. The weight of the Coghlan tube tent is right at two pounds. Which is pretty heavy in the ultralight world.Sep 7, 2009 at 3:58 pm #1525786
Indeed, the Coughlan's tube tent is 2.5 mil (wouldn't have thought it was THAT heavy though). The Heatsheets are 1 mil (at least what they use at race finishes – maybe the ones they make for AMK's use are different?). You won't have the design options available unless you cut the tube, but if all you want is an A-frame I don't see why you couldn't use one.
I'll be interested to see how the Heatsheets hold up over time. I note from the manufacturer's site: "The metal may begin to oxidize over time. That process can be accelerated if exposed to moisture for an extended period of time."
I assume that doesn't have any bearing on the integrity of the LDPE though. Just what little insulating value you may have gotten from the coating will decrease.
If you want to play a lot, you can buy a roll of 100 6'x4' sheets (in white rather than orange, too) for $87. You could make 25 8×12 tarps!Sep 7, 2009 at 8:03 pm #1525853

Chair E it question:
You mention the Crazy Creek version as well: will it work just as well? Two concerns I have are 1) the weight is heavier & 2) the curve of the fabric at the seat appears to offer less of a 90degree angle so the dry bag may not sit as well on the "platform".
Thanks for your input.

> You mention the Crazy Creek version as well: will it work just as well?
Hi Todd,
I have both chairs (Sling-light, Crazy Creek version). Crazy Creek made an exact copy (rippoff) of the Sling-light chair in every dimension including weight. The literature says the Crazy Creek headrest is a tiny bit lighter and the chair a tiny bit heavier. Together their total weight equals the total weight of the Sling-light on my scale.
So the short answer is "yes the Crazy Creek version will work just as well and save you a lot of money."Sep 8, 2009 at 6:31 am #1525912
A roll of 100 6'x4' Heatsheets is $87. Shipping is only FedEx so pretty steep. $20.11 from GA to IN. But $1.08/sheet isn't bad and they're a little more environment friendly being white with silver rather than orange.
I also ordered the rolls of tape Al recommended so I'll have plenty of stuff to experiment with when I get time. It seems both of those you ended up with are the best 3M has for this application. It doesn't appear the bi-directional filament tape (Extreme Application) has any special UV resistance so I think I'll cover it with the transparent duct tape. I also plan to do a weather test of samples this fall/winter to see how the tape and Heatsheet hold up to UV & cold.Sep 8, 2009 at 8:44 pm #1526133
> It doesn't appear the bi-directional filament tape (Extreme Application) has any special UV resistance so I think I'll cover it with the transparent duct tape
Hi Michael,
Instead of covering the Extreme Application tape, I simply used the Extreme Application tape on the inside of the tent on the ridgeline so it would not be exposed to UV rays.
I used 1" wide strip of transparent duct tape to reinforce the edges of the tent body and stake tie-outs since this tape has good UV resistance (and is cheaper).Sep 9, 2009 at 7:11 am #1526197
I guess ALL the tape could be placed on the under (silver) side. In that case the polyethylene would likely break down before the tape on the other side of the AL. I couldn't find any info on whether they added any UV resistance to the LDPE, which normally is not all that good.
I hadn't thought the duct tape would be strong enough to prevent the sides from stretching over time from being pulled taut. I didn't find the clear duct tape in 1 or 2 inch widths. It seems it's 1-7/8" so if you cut the roll in half as you say, it's likely just 15/16" that you used along the edges. It's pretty impressive it doesn't stretch appreciably in over 7 feet.Sep 9, 2009 at 9:19 am #1526222
> I guess ALL the tape could be placed on the under (silver) side.
Hi Michael,
You can. I did this on my early mylar prototypes where I used stake loops (made from tape) rather than grommets. Since I was planning to use grommets on the Heatsheet version I folded the tape over the edge 1/2" on the inside and 1/2" on the outside. The inside and outside heads of grommet then goes through filaments on both sides.
You are correct the tape is not exactly 2" wide. It says 1.9" wide on the roll. I cut the roll down the middle so that each side had the same number of lengthwise filaments.
> It's pretty impressive it doesn't stretch appreciably in over 7 feet.
I haven't noticed any stretch, but realize that the design of the tent is such that the poles just pull the ridgeline tape tight each time it is pitched.Sep 9, 2009 at 9:40 am #1526227
> I did this on my early mylar prototypes where I used stake loops (made from tape) rather than grommets.
I was planning loops to stay away from grommets. It can't be pitched quite as close to the ground but that should aid in ventilation, too. Did you not like the loops? I was thinking of something like Scott Van Doeselaar did with his cuben tent.
. I thought the way he did his mesh would work, too.
> I haven't noticed any stretch, but realize that the design of the tent is such that the poles just pull the ridgeline tape tight each time it is pitched.
I was referring to the stretching as you pulled the corners taut (at roughly 45 degrees) to stake.Sep 10, 2009 at 6:23 am #1526497
> Did you not like the loops? I was thinking of something like Scott Van Doeselaar did with his cuben tent.
Having now tried both loops and grommets with Space Blanket material, I like the loops better. Scott did a nice job with his cuben tent. Since the maximum stress (and most likely point for a tear) is right at the edge of the material beside the loop, I ran a second 3" strip of tape along the edge to spread the stress. Here is how I made the loops on my Mylar tents.
To keep the loop from being sticky, I used a 1"x1" piece of tape stuck glue-to-glue in the center of the 3" strip of transparent duct tape forming the loop.
I run the wire stakes right through the loops into the ground. After about a year of use, I have not had any failures ie rips or tears at the stake loops (Knock on wood)Sep 10, 2009 at 8:23 am #1526522
> I run the wire stakes right through the loops into the ground.
The way you stated that makes it sound like you pierce through the tape material in the same spot each time. I had envisioned the stake would go thru the loop created in the tape (where the 1 x 1 piece is) though it would need to be twisted about 90*. It appears you had your's stick out 1/2" from the edge. I was thinking more like 2" so it would be easier to twist without affecting the body so much.Sep 11, 2009 at 7:35 am #1526847
Hi Michael,
Sorry. Poor choice of words on my part. Yes the stake goes through the loop created in the tape. And yes this does twist the loop 90 degrees. When I build my next tent I will still leave the loop sticking out just 1/2" but make the loop-tape only 1/2" wide. I haven't had any issue with loop twisting over that short distance on the mylar tent body when using the wire stakes. The wire stakes are only 1/16" in diameter. If you are using fatter stakes that fill up these small loops, then the twist occurs over a much shorter distance and you should consider a longer loop.
My thoughts about sticking out just 1/2" is that this allows me to stake the tent right to the ground if I want to, and if I wanted to stake it higher I can put a cord through the short loop.
If I made the loops 2" long, then I would take away my option to stake a side right to the ground if I needed to.Sep 11, 2009 at 8:35 am #1526865
I understand now. Thank you. I agree with your point, too – the 1/2" from the edge does increase your flexibility.
I gather you favor mylar over LDPE (at least for you vs Scouts that may not be as careful). How much noise does it make in the wind?

A Journey to the Interior of the Earth HTML version
Preparations For Blasting A Passage To The Centre Of
The Earth
Since the start upon this marvellous pilgrimage I had been through so many
astonishments that I might well be excused for thinking myself well hardened against any
further surprise. Yet at the sight of these two letters, engraved on this spot three hundred
years ago, I stood aghast in dumb amazement. Not only were the initials of the learned
alchemist visible upon the living rock, but there lay the iron point with which the letters
had been engraved. I could no longer doubt of the existence of that wonderful traveller
and of the fact of his unparalleled journey, without the most glaring incredulity.
Whilst these reflections were occupying me, Professor Liedenbrock had launched into a
somewhat rhapsodical eulogium, of which Arne Saknussemm was, of course, the hero.
"Thou marvellous genius!" he cried, "thou hast not forgotten one indication which might
serve to lay open to mortals the road through the terrestrial crust; and thy fellow-creatures
may even now, after the lapse of three centuries, again trace thy footsteps through these
deep and darksome ways. You reserved the contemplation of these wonders for other
eyes besides your own. Your name, graven from stage to stage, leads the bold follower of
your footsteps to the very centre of our planet's core, and there again we shall find your
own name written with your own hand. I too will inscribe my name upon this dark
granite page. But for ever henceforth let this cape that advances into the sea discovered
by yourself be known by your own illustrious name--Cape Saknussemm."
Such were the glowing words of panegyric which fell upon my attentive ear, and I could
not resist the sentiment of enthusiasm with which I too was infected. The fire of zeal
kindled afresh in me. I forgot everything. I dismissed from my mind the past perils of the
journey, the future danger of our return. That which another had done I supposed we
might also do, and nothing that was not superhuman appeared impossible to me.
"Forward! forward!" I cried.
I was already darting down the gloomy tunnel when the Professor stopped me; he, the
man of impulse, counselled patience and coolness.
"Let us first return to Hans," he said, "and bring the raft to this spot."
I obeyed, not without dissatisfaction, and passed out rapidly among the rocks on the
I said: "Uncle, do you know it seems to me that circumstances have wonderfully
befriended us hitherto?"
"You think so, Axel?"

West Allis man arrested on 12th drunken driving charge
A 50-year-old West Allis man was arrested early this morning on his 12th drunken driving charge, according to the Wisconsin State Patrol.
A trooper pulled the man over about 12:30 a.m. on westbound I-94 east of Moorland Road after it appeared he had been in an accident. The man was taken first to the state police headquarters in Waukesha for a field sobriety test and then to Waukesha Memorial for a legal blood draw, according to the department.

With smartphones getting ever cheaper, the market for so called feature phones is rapidly dwindling. That said, if your priorities are still call quality, battery life, and ease of use, then something like the Sony Ericsson Cedar might be right up your street. Selling for around £50, it undercuts even the cheapest smartphones by a considerable margin, though currently isn't widely available on network deals.
The form factor of the Cedar is as classic as they come, with a 2.2in screen sitting above a cluster of navigation controls and a 12-button keypad. Dimensions are 111 x 49 x 15.5 mm so it's around 10mm shorter and narrower than you're your average smartphone, though not the slimmest device going. Thankfully it's nice and lightweight at just 84g. Despite this feather-like leaning, the plastic body feels nice and solid with little discernable flex.
Styling is never likely to be a strong suite at this price but as these things go, the Cedar looks very nice. You can get a few different coloured backs – though they seem pretty rare – but we have the silver version here. The gentle swoop it creates along the phone's side along with the overall curve of the back looks elegant and simple. Also, both front and back have a matt finish, which gives the overall look a muted feel and should help keep the phone looking good for longer than glossy rivals, as scratches won't show up as badly.
There are no immediately obvious causes for concern when it comes to connectivity either, with a headphone jack up top, microUSB on the left edge, and if you prize the back off you'll find there's a microSD card slot as well. You don't get a card in the box but it'll support up to 16GB ones. It's also worth noting that there is a volume control on the right edge, as these can sometimes be omitted on cheaper phones. Sadly, it's a little fiddly so is difficult to operate blindly.
On the back is a camera but at only 2-megapixels and without autofocus or flash, it's next to useless in anything less than bright sunshine. This is what we'd expect for such a budget phone though.
The phone's screen is a 2.2in colour LCD with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. This actually means it packs in the same number of pixels as a number of budget smartphones, but thanks to its size it looks considerably sharper. Inevitably it's only so much use for watching video or browsing the web but otherwise it holds up well with punchy colours and decent viewing angles. The tough and perfectly flat plastic finish means it should resist scratches well and doesn't pick up reflections as much as more flexible, wobbly examples.
