Being a young girl, I repeatedly had to listen to such statements: "Whatever you study, one day you have to get married and do the household chores."
I used to ignore it as much as I could. After the bone-breaking study of medicine with all work and no play schedule, there came a time when I had to tie a knot with somebody and leave all my books. I had to start from scratch and set foot in the sea of entirely new experiences and learning. Anatomy and biochemistry that had become a part and parcel of my life got replaced by the study of kitchen management and hacks.
My married life is now ten years old, and a proud feather is added to my marriage cap. I have realized the deeper meaning of marriage – it is a pact of making your sharp corners round.
According to Mufti Ibrahim Desai: "There can be no doubt in the success of a marriage governed by the fear of Allah (swt)."
I don't celebrate marriage anniversaries by parties or hip-hop; but I do celebrate by pondering over the lessons that I had learnt during that year and store them in my memory. Each year, I implement those lessons into my life to get more happiness and success. My secret of a blissful marriage is based on the following lessons.
- Silence is the best medicine
It is very usual to have differences, but to remain calm and composed is an art, which is achieved through excellent self-control tactics. Arguing at times of conflict can make the situation worse by letting the Satan enter into it.
Abu Saeed Al-Khudri reported that the Prophet (sa) said: "If anyone is humble for the sake of Allah (swt) by a degree, Allah (swt) will elevate him one degree, until he reaches the highest degrees; if anyone is arrogant towards Allah (swt), Allah (swt) will lower him one degree until he reaches the lowest of low degrees." (Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani)
The very first thing that took me to the tantrums after my marriage was the late night schedule of my husband's job. As my father was a government officer, we used to enjoy the evening tea with him at home. When I shared that with my hubby, I got a mind-blowing lecture of office responsibilities and problems. The best I could do was to pray to Almighty Allah (swt) and remain silent. The next year, my hubby changed the job, in which he had the facility to return back home early and could work from home. Silence helped me keep a peaceful environment at home.
- Conquer through love
Love is the language that everybody understands. Showing constant gratitude and love takes your hubby to the Mount Everest of his self-esteem. In turn, he showers you with the same.
- To err is human, to forgive – divine
Females have a 967432 GB of memory, and on any little issue, they open up the historical book of complaints, which ignites never-ending arguments. I used to avoid it by imagining the large number of women burning in hellfire, due to ungratefulness to their husbands.
It was narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas (rtam) that the Messenger of Allah (sa) said: "I was shown Hell, and I have never seen anything more terrifying than it. And I saw that the majority of its people are women." They said: "Why, O Messenger of Allah (sa)?" He said: "Because of their ingratitude (Kufr)." It was said: "Are they ungrateful to Allah (swt)?" He said: "They are ungrateful to their companions (husbands) and ungrateful for good treatment. If you are kind to one of them for a lifetime and then she sees one (undesirable) thing in you, she will say: 'I have never had anything good from you.'" (Bukhari)
- The foolish secret
I know this is difficult to apply for many of us, but believe me – it works. I used to surprise my hubby by listening to common talks with great astonishment. It is a secret, which I apply regularly and keep my relationship filled with joy.
- Invest in your relationship
Sharing lovely gifts and words adds strength to my life and fuels my passion to live together. A beautifully-wrapped present leaves a long lasting effect on the heart of your hubby – it will never be a waste!
- Out of sight wins the mind!
It sounds awkward but this is another secret to my fulfilling joyous life. Whenever I used to return from my mom's house, I used to find a new spark in my married life. Being away for some time allows one to re-discover, and have some 'me' time. It helps both to settle and look into the disputes with an impartial aspect.
- Give credit
Your achievements and success must be because of your hard work, but transfer the credit to your hubby, as that success wouldn't have been possible without his broadmindedness, compromise, support, and appreciation. Try to be more courteous and giving.
- Show gratitude
Thank your hubby often; it takes just a second but kindles the light of respect and love. Nothing big is required to admit his support – only a nice comment on his return from the office or shop can make the day wonderful for both of you.
- Share with care
Effective communication is the life and blood of a successful relationship. Not a single day of my married life has passed without sharing problems, asking or just telling the whole day routine. It gradually and slowly builds up the understanding between the two souls.
- Trust is a must
Last but not the least, trust is the key to a prosperous and ever growing married life. Hiding petty matters from the hubby may be of no value at the moment, but it will eventually shake the pillars of married life. Remember the key point that after your marriage, your hubby is the most worthy person in your life. Although ten years have passed, I am still striving to the best of my abilities, so that I don't let anyone down. Insha'Allah.

-Speakers embedded in hood
-Zip on underside of tunnel for visibility of keyboard and mouse (though this will probably be more often used as a porthole for feeding during marathon WOW sessions)
-A voice activated microphone in the back of the hood which records audio from the outside world and saves it as mp3 files in a folder on the desktop.

I have to say that this week's block, while easier to PP, was more difficult to pick fabrics. I agree that the most challenge is picking colors. I'm not thrilled with mine this week, but am trying to work in the blue/greens with my blues and tans for the beach theme. Here is it anyway.

ES4: Shivering Isles - Interview @ Gamesblog
The Shivering Isles interviews are coming in at light-speed with The Guardian's Gamesblog the latest to chat with Pete Hines on the upcoming expansion:
Talking of leveling, there has been some criticism about the leveling structure in Oblivion, with some players annoyed that their enemies level when they do. What are your thoughts on this and why was this designed into the game?
You do see different creatures based on what level you are, but they don't level to your level. We only level up boss creatures in certain cases, so it's not something that happens all the time. It's a fair comment, but the challenge is to try to make a game that allows you to go wherever you want and do whatever you want while also making sure that you can actually do something there.

With the launch of DB 12c in 2013, Oracle introduced a new architectural concept, called "multitenant databases", where you have one super database (=container; CDB) and one or more sub databases (= pluggable DBs; PDB).
Before running the installer on an Oracle Linux 6 environment, a library can be installed through yum to meet all the system per-requisites:
yum install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall
The software installer and DBCA are similar to 11g, except for this screen where you can pre-configure your CDB and PDBs:
This DBCA execution will not only create a CDB and 1 PDB, but a "seed pluggable database" as well. You can use this seed database as a template to create other pluggable databases.
By default, after running the DBCA, all CDBs and PDBs are up and running.
Now, we will reboot the host machine and try to start all of our components.
Is there a difference when starting the listener and the CDB?
No! You can start the listener and your CDB in exactly the same way as you did with your pre-12c database.
How can you connect to the CDB?
Very simple: just the same as in the past with pre-12c databases.
$ sqlplus system@apexdev
SQL*Plus: Release 184.108.40.206.0 Production on Thu Mar 19 22:53:55 2015

Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 18.104.22.168.0 – 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Advanced Analytics and Real Application Testing options
Are the PDBs opened by default, when starting the CDB?
No. This can be verified by this query:
SQL> select open_mode from v$pdbs where name='APEXDEV_PDB1′;
The PDB is mounted; to open it, just run this command:
SQL> alter pluggable database apexdev_pdb1 open read write;
Pluggable database altered.
SQL> select open_mode from v$pdbs where name='APEXDEV_PDB1′;
Note: this must be done as "SYSDBA".
How can we connect to the PDB?
There are 2 methods:
First method: connect to the CDB and then switch to the PDB by setting the container:
$ sqlplus system@apexdev
SQL> show con_name
SQL> alter session set container=apexdev_pdb1;
Session altered.
SQL> show con_name
Second method: Modify your tnsnames.ora file by adding an entry for the PDB, based on the CDB entry.
Now, you can connect as usual to the PDB:
[oracle@ol6db1 oracle]$ sqlplus system@apexdev_pdb1

SQL> show con_name
As you can see, it is all quite easy. One of the main benefits of this architecture is that you can handle every PDB as a separate database that can be upgraded or plugged/unplugged independently from other databases.
And of course your database will be ready for the cloud!

I will withhold judgement till all the facts are out.
"There was no sign that the shooter and other officers at the scene mishandled the situation," police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
"The tragedy here of course was that Mr. Cuevas was shot, but I see nothing wrong with the procedure," he said.
SERIOUSLY???? nothing wrong with the procedure? how about the dead crime victim?
NY police accidentally shoot shop worker to death - Yahoo! News
I will withhold judgement till all the facts are out.
What happened to the video? I tried to watch it but it was gone.
It's no secret the NYPD are dangerous to anyone when you put a gun in their hand.Considering the political environment there this doesn't surprise me at all.Obama must be pissed,now he has competition on suppression and socialist takeover.
Seems that lately, more people are being shot by the police, than by the bad guys..................how are those gun laws workin for you Yorkers?
Robber : "Gimme all your money #$% %^&* or i will call the police!!!"
Victim : " Please dont do that! I will cooperate ! No one has to die here today!"
Robber : Hurry the %$^& up! Dont make me dial 911!!!!"
Until all the facts are known, the point is moot.
the guy who was shot was the VICTIM. (said the commissioner)
the cop shot him accidently.(said the commissioner)
he died. (said the commissioner)
the police commissioner doesnt think there was anything wrong with procedure. (said the commissioner)
using the police commissioner own statement as a collection of facts presented to the public, i contend that the facts are known and i still stand by my opinion that the police should not shoot innocent bystanders or crime victims. its bad procedure anywhere but in NYC
how do you accidentally shoot someone while following procedure?
Some of the facts might make the situation a bit clearer ie: was the victim running toward the cop with a handgun ?(highly doubtful) since he was the victim. Details on what went wrong might make this happening again in the future less likely if information was used in training and retraining........JJ
Video is still working
I just watched it.
Hhmm... I must be lookin at the wrong one. Eh well..
No cover up really. It's more like, "Dude, $*it happens. Our Bad."
I've always assumed that NYPD had those ridiculous triggers on their Glocks to prevent just such incidents/accidents. Maybe they need to go heavier?

WELCOME to Kimo's Vegas ... The Player's Edge!
CRISS ANGEL'S $100 million Cirque du Soleil show Believe was scheduled to open Sept. 12, but due to technical delays fans will have to wait until Oct. 9 for the grand opening. The monster ad going up on the side of the Luxor will leave no doubt as to the location of the illusionist.
IF YOU BELIEVE the only thing better than chocolate is free chocolate, then check out the 13-foot-tall chocolate clock at Payard's Patisserie in Caesar's Palace. It tells the time in nine different time zones and dispenses ono and free truffles every 15 minutes from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day.
THE 2008 NBA Summer League, showcasing the top free agents and the 2008 draftees, is happening in Vegas July 11-20 at the Thomas & Mack Center and the Cox Pavilion. Twenty-one teams will compete in this year's event, including the 12 teams from this year's playoffs. A good spot to look for rookies is the Palms Casino Hotel.
YOU MAY WANT to make sure you pay your Wynn Las Vegas markers on time ... First they went after Charles Barkley for his $400,000 gambling debt, then Alonzo Mourning for a $50,000 convention bill. Now Steve Wynn's people are going after Joe Francis for $2 million! Apparently there's a lotta moolah to be made from those Girls Gone Wild videos. After being informed that passing a bad check (not paying for your markers) in Nevada is a felony, the creator of the 70-plus series of videos had his payment express-shipped to the Wynn.
COMEDIANS Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond) and Kevin James (King of Queens) co-star in a show at the MGM Grand starting Oct. 5.
You guys save some money for the rest of us, 'kay?
LOOK IN THE NEW Palazzo tower - it's a bar, it's a lounge, it's a nightclub ... No, it's a Lamborghini dealership. Unlike any other car dealership you've ever seen, it even includes an upscale Italian restaurant called Dal Toro. Like the Ferrari dealership in the Wynn, admission is not free unless, of course, you have the means to drop at least $250,000 on a car. In case you're wondering, the floors rise and lower much like jet bays in an aircraft carrier - that's how they get the cars from the underground garage into the showroom.
KIMO'S VEGAS TRIVIA ... If you've returned a rental car in Vegas, you've been on George Crockett Road. If you're like me, you may have wondered who he was and if he was related to the other guy with the same last name. This December is the 60th anniversary of the first and last thing many of us see in Vegas that was founded by Davy's descendant ... the McCarran International Airport.
SOON YOU'LL BE able to check into the MGM Grand, Palazzo or the Venetian from the airport named after Sen. Patrick McCarran.
STARDUST ROAD has been renamed Echelon Resort Drive.
LAS VEGAS TURNAROUND ... Daryl Hall and John Oates perform at the Joint in the Hard Rock Friday, Aug. 15.
PART OF last weekend's celebration on the Fremont Experience was a special show on the famous canopy choreographed to Don McLean's American Pie. I wonder if anyone bothered to listen to the lyrics before they selected this song for their Fourth of July spectacular?

Limitations Quotes
Theodore Roosevelt
It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years -- we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on.

Drugstores are in clearance mode to get merchandise off shelves before back-to-school season starts, but strong pharmacy sales helped Walgreen (WAG) and Rite Aid (RAD) beat June sales estimates.
Walgreen's same-store sales climbed 7.5%, topping consensus forecasts for a 6.8% increase, led by a 11.3% jump on the pharmacy side. Total June sales rose 8.9% to $6.28 billion.
Prescriptions were helped by one extra Monday and one fewer Saturday in June compared with the same month last year.
Same-store basket size rose 3.3% in June, offsetting a 2% dip in customer foot traffic. Comparable front-end sales increased 1.3%, missing expectations for a 2.4% rise.
"June and July are typically clearance periods, as most retailers are working to move summer related apparel and seasonal merchandise to make way for key back-to-school floor sets at the end of July and early August," said Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics, in a report.
"Clearance activity picked up as the month progressed, as retailers are working to clear out early summer merchandise."
Walgreen shares rose 1.3% in the stock market today.
Rite Aid's same-store sales rose 3.9% in June, beating views for a 2.6% gain, with front-end comps up 0.9% and pharmacy same-store numbers up 5.4%. Prescriptions rose 3.5%. Total sales edged up 3.5% to $2 billion. Shares jumped 5.6%.
This week, pharmacy-benefit manager Express Scripts (ESRX) decided to drop coverage of about 1,000 ingredients used in compounding, the process of mixing or altering drugs to create a tailored medication, targeting painkilling creams and ointments.
The company says the costs involved are wasteful when other cheaper, FDA-approved medications are available, according to AP. It is not clear how this will affect customers, and Express Scripts says consumers can still obtain needed compounded medication.
Express Scripts is a Walgreen partner again after the two companies clashed in a 2012 contract dispute.

Minnesota Twins Host Youth Baseball Clinic [VIDEO]
Subscribe to AM 1240 WJON on
FOLEY — Youth baseball fans gathered at Foley High School to participate in a free baseball clinic put on by the Minnesota Twins.
Kids in attendance had a chance to work on their skills, while getting advice from professional baseball coaches.
Ken Mauer is with the Minnesota Twins Organization. He says the goal isn't to try to make the kids professional ball players.
"We just like to be able to teach them the skills that they can use to go play in high school, maybe college," says Mauer.
The clinic offers two 90-minute sessions for kids ages 6-16. While focusing on three main categories.
"We try to concentrate on hitting, fielding and pitching," says Mauer. "But in that we try to mix up a few other things as well."
The Minnesota Twins will host another clinic in St. Cloud tomorrow (Saturday) at Whitney Park. The first one begins at 9:00 a.m. for ages 6 to 9-year-olds and another at 10:30 a.m for 10 to 16-year-olds.
Mauer says he looks forward to coaching the kids that attend the clinics.
"I love it, and it's our privilege to come up and show the kids the appreciation for the way they back the Minnesota Twins," says Mauer.
There is no registration for tomorrow's clinic.
Children are asked to bring their own baseball glove.

Loss That Slipped Thru Cracks
Loss That Slipped Thru Cracks
Dear Editor;
Many local heroes and victims of the 9/11 tragedy have
been honored in our community.
The loss of Mark Gilles has slipped through the cracks. Mark, a resident of the Shoreview Cooperative in Far Rockaway, formerly lived in Canarsie, Brooklyn, and moved to Rockaway in November 2000.
An accountant with Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Mark was very interested in cooperative living and management. Shortly after moving to Shoreview, Mark joined the Board of Directors and volunteered his accounting skills.
In the process of making a career change, Mark was employed by Account Temps and assigned to Cantor Fitzgerald in the WTC on 9/11/01.
Mark was 33 years old. He is survived by his fiancé Sherice, their daughter Jasmine, who is now nine, and his mother Giselle, of Brooklyn.
Mark's life ended too quickly for him to really enjoy the new community he joined.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

I don't see the problem with the lights. You said you gave him ample room and even if you didn't it's no excuse for the moron to be acting in such a manner. He could've simply broke off the encounter just as easily as acting the way he did but instead he chose to lock on you thereby forcing you to take action.
I also don't see a problem with calling your dad. I mean its obvious the guy was after you. i don't expect you to drive around all night in an unfamiliar area and possibly further endangering you and your family because this guy is PMSing.
Calling the Sheriff was also a good move just in case things had escalated into a violent encounter where you had to use force etc. It shows you at least tried not to take matters into your own hands first without making an effort to contact authorities.
I take matters like this very serious especially with child/wife in the car and it could've turned out very badly for Mr. Hot Rod... It takes a lot of balls to advance on another vehicle with god knows what intentions. As you said this guy has a long history with assault etc and when a person lives their life in this manner it's only a matter of time before someone will get sick of his BS or he'll threaten the wrong person who will "adjust his attitude."

|The Queue usually runs around the corner, but moves fast
Signs identified the Bourke Street location even before Christmas, so it was no real shock that upon its opening in March, Tim Ho Wan's first Melbourne site boasted queues around the clock. Fortunately, they've done this before (there are currently over 20 Tim Ho Wan sites in Asia and Australia, including four in Sydney), so the waiting area had been neatly sectioned off around the corner, and casual stool seating provided. Menus can be found dotted along the queue area, and in peak times, clipboards are handed out by staff, bearing checklist menus ready to be filled out and handed in straight away upon being seated.
|Clipboard Ordering
On my first visit, two friends and I had organised to meet there at 6:30pm on a Friday night. I arrived a bit early at 6:20pm, so jumped straight into the queue to try and save us some time. It moved quickly, and lo and behold, by 6:30pm when the others showed up, I was head of the queue and we were ushered straight in. On my second visit, a Tuesday night a few weeks later, I arrived at 5:45pm and my friend and I walked straight in to a half-full restaurant. Needless to say, the queues are starting to abate. A relief for hungry diners!
|Bill delivered upfront
Efficiency is key here, with lots of staff on hand to keep the flow of patrons moving in and out as quickly as possible. As soon as your menu is submitted (it's all a bit business-like, but you just run with it if you want your dumplings), the bill is laid upon your table and, when each dish is delivered to you, it is scribbled out on the bill. Should you wish to order more, the bill is taken away, revised and brought back. There's no mucking around. The fit-out is light wood with touches of lime green, with the 105-cover space sporting bench seating and lots of rather uncomfortable small stools. It's clean, no-fuss and not particularly great in atmosphere - but that's not why you come here.
|Standard provisions
So how's the food? Look - it's pretty okay! The phrase "Michelin star" does encourage high expectations, but one should remember that it was only the original restaurant that earned the accolade, and all the others since have been modelled upon it by the Singaporean company that owns Tim Ho Wan, but essentially: this is a chain. One of the chefs who began it all, Mak Kwai Piu, had commandeered the restaurant at Hong Kong's Four Seasons to three-star status before breaking away to open the original Tim Ho Wan in 2009, along with fellow chef Leung Fai Keung. I heard somewhere that the chefs at the new franchises must undergo rigorous training in making the dumplings - no idea if that's true or not - but the food certainly does come out very uniform, almost to the point where it looks like fast food. I found some of it a little plain in flavour, but for the price, it's BLOODY good, and I will definitely go back.
|Baked Barbeque Pork Buns, $7.80
Tim Ho Wan's most revered menu item is the baked pork bun - its point of difference being that it is baked rather than steamed, its casing lightweight and slightly sugared, and its innards a gooey, sweetened barbeque pork filling. I enjoyed the buns, but they are less filling than you'd expect, and I wouldn't have minded a bit more filling. They are on the sweet side, but I'm not averse to that.
|More barbeque pork filling, please!
Other self-touted menu stars (or "Big 4 Heavenly Kings", as the menu labels them) are the turnip cake, steamed egg cake, and pig's liver vermicelli roll. I haven't tried these yet, but they are next on my hit list, along with the fish maw, chicken feet and congee. We also had the wasabi fried prawn dumplings, steamed spinach and shrimp dumplings, vermicelli shrimp roll, and glutinous rice, followed by the mango sago and the osmanthus jelly. On my other visit, I also sampled the spring rolls with egg white - surprisingly pleasant - and the beancurd skin roll - tasty, but a bit too strange of a texture for me.
|Wasabi Salad Prawn Dumplings, $7.80
|Spinach Dumpling with Shrimp, $7.80... delicious
|Vermicelli Roll with Shrimp, $7.80
|Glutinous Rice (and other things!) in Lotus Leaf, $8.80
|Unwrapping the glutinous rice...
|The guts of the glutinous rice... not pretty, but fun and delicious
|Dessert! Mango Sago Pomelo, $6.00. Mango-y.
|Tonic Medlar and Osmanthus Cake, $5.80
|This looked cool, but was kinda flavourless.
The restaurant does not currently offer alcoholic beverages, and I don't know if that's part of the plan in future, but I imagine the lack of alcohol helps deter patrons from staying too long! Be prepared to drink Chinese tea (bottomless, apparently) or soft drink, then head elsewhere for your boozing, post-dumplings.
Tim Ho Wan means "add good luck" and aims to produce good-quality, affordable dim sum. No luck is needed for the Bourke Street franchise: it has achieve its aim already and is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are partial to pork buns, dumplings, or Chinese food. I've heard that some people have been less than impressed but, being very affordable (each visit cost me approximately $25-$30 for my share), tasty, and accessible... why the pork-bun not?! At least you can say you've tried it. Then let me know what you think!
Tim Ho Wan Bourke Street is open daily from 10am to 10pm (last orders 9:30pm).

Edited addendum: :eek: I just looked at the list of candies and cookies, condiments (Hellman, Heinz, Delmonte, & Hunts catsup gmo's all), Thomas' English muffins, those nice healthy grained Peppridge Farm breads, HealthyChoice frozen meals, coke, pepsi, and numerous fruit drinks, most well known brands of soup, oh the list goes on and on. Fortunately for those who care about avoiding GMO foods, there're also lists of other less well known brands that do not have GMO's.
It seems to boil down to the bigger the name, the more chance it is GMO'd. Even many baby products (Enfamil, for example) are GMO'd.

Done with the big ride...first day, ~100 miles, camped in La Grange (yes, the same as in the ZZ Top "Haw Haw Haw..." song). Sunday we wrapped it up in about 85 miles, but there were lots of hills so it was a tougher ride over all. We hit up the Gingerman in Austin for a few beers afterwards. On the trip back, I blinked, and was home (it's about a 3 hours in a car).
I was eating vitamin "I" (ibuprofen) like tic-tacs, trying to keep my knees under control. I think they'll be all right. In general, I turned out to be better conditioned for road biking than I gave myself credit for...the jarring of mountain bike riding seemed to have unexpected benefits concerning road endurance.
Took today off. I am about to quest for some protein, carbos, and caffeine.

Why do we have no rules? Perhaps because in today's world of communication certain rules no
longer make sense, along with their trivial transgression.
Or maybe because each client for us is unique, not a rule but an exception, with his and only
his very own needs.
A solid strategic vision, a vivid and healthy dose of creativity, an ethical and
transparentrelationship with the client: in the end we may have a few rules.

Statement of Faith
The leadership of Bible Study Fellowship, including the Board of Directors, is committed without reservation to this Statement of Faith:
We believe that the 66 books of Holy Scripture as originally given are in their entirety the Word of God verbally inspired and wholly without error in all that they declare and, therefore, are the supreme and final authority of faith and life.
We believe in one Triune God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Virgin Birth and the Deity of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who is also Son of Man, with two distinct natures in one Person forever.
We believe the vicarious substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on the cross made atonement for the sin of the world, efficient for all who repent and believe.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, which ensures the resurrection of all believers who have received God's gift of eternal life.
We believe also in a resurrection of judgment in regard to unbelievers who reject the gospel.
We believe in the imminent, visible and bodily return of Christ to this earth to set up His kingdom and to judge the world in righteousness.
We believe that man was originally created in the image of God, that he fell into sin through the first Adam and that he is responsible for all sin he has committed. Sin causes him to be separated from God and lost eternally.
We believe that salvation from everlasting punishment and entrance into a state of fellowship with God are secured only by a personal belief that Christ bore our sins in His own body on the cross and by a definite receiving of Christ, through the Person of the Holy Spirit, into one's inner being. This is to receive eternal life and to be sealed unto the Day of Redemption.
We believe that the Holy Spirit thus indwells all who receive Jesus Christ as both Savior and Lord.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is responsible for the quickening from death into life and for the continuing of the work of sanctification in the believer.
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, a spiritual organism of born again believers who are called to be identified with Christ in baptism and to remember His death in the Lord's Supper.
We believe that all believers are called to be in the world but separate from it.
We believe that Christians are called to witness for Christ, to preach the gospel to all nations, and to study the Bible personally through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit until each one is matured into the preordained purpose of God for him.
From the Bible Study Fellowship Bylaws, Article VI

Samantha Ronson, 35, is an English singer-songwriter as well as a disc jockey. She had been hired to DJ the grand opening party and brought Lohan with her. At one point in the party, though, Lohan -- apparently feeling ignored -- went on a childish temper tantrum.
Suddenly, without any warning, Lindsay flung herself on to the thick carpet and started to roll around screaming like a child. It seemed she was upset that people, including Samantha, were not paying her enough attention.Dexter-Jones took action the next morning.
To my mind, it was classic psychotic behaviour. I took Lindsay aside and told her not to make a spectacle of herself. She was clearly out of control and spoiling for a fight.
The morning after her tantrum – and believe me, that was not the worst of it – I told them both that I could no longer support them as a couple, that I no longer approved of them being together and that Lindsay was no longer welcome in my home.Lohan, 26, has since characterized the relationship with Ronson as "mutually toxic." Dexter-Jones, however, does not agree. The toxicity, she implied, was one-sided.
I saw how much pain my daughter was in and that she was suffering deeply. She is a very Zen person and not used to the kind of turmoil that Lindsay seems to thrive on.Media first began to notice that Lohan's relationship with Ronson seemed affectionate, in 2008. It wasn't acknowledged as a romance for some time, though. It is unclear how long the pair was a couple.
In September of 2008, Lohan confirmed on the syndicated radio program, "Loveline," that she was, in fact, dating Ronson. When asked During the program, by DJ Stryker, how long they had been a couple, Lohan only replied "For a very long time." The Atlantis opened in late September of 2008.
Samantha Ronson is now reported to be in a relationship with music producer David Foster's daughter, the actress/writer Erin Foster. Lohan, however, isn't in a committed relationship, though she is apparently in a "friends with benefits" relationship with Max George of "The Wanted."

On the game ... "It's a great win. We know how tough it can be to get a win on the road with a lot on the line, and I thought our players came out and played with the toughness and poise to get the job done. We have been striving to do that all year and it was nice to do it on the road in this type of environment. It was a competitive game and both teams laid it all on the line. ... It was just a total team effort."
On Dion Harris replacing Lester Abram in the starting lineup ... "It was more along the lines of me listening to our players. Lester came to me and indicated he thought Dion was struggling and offered up his starting position to see if that could get Dion going. It blew me away, I'm still in awe of the move. It speaks volumes of who he is as a player and as a man. Certainly it helped Dion's confidence, because we need his play."
U-M Senior Bernard Robinson Jr.
On his three-pointer late in the game ... "It was a well-executed play. The play call was a dribble-drive and a kick-out to me on the side. I was ready for the shot. It was a big three, a big change of pace. We needed that shot because we had missed a few coming into that possession. It was definitely a big one."
On the win ... "It helps out our psyche a lot. We needed to win one on the road. It was a tough environment and tough crowd with this being their Senior Day. I think we did a good job with it."
U-M Sophomore Daniel Horton
On his play in the first half ... "With Bernard and Lester in foul trouble, I had to step up and make plays. Coach told me to attack their press and when we got a rebound he wanted me to push up the floor and make a play."
On what this win means ... "This win is real big, it puts us right back where we want to be. Hopefully we can string a few games together. I think we'll be fine."

Claddagh Under Fire For Selling Donations, Health Concerns
The Claddagh Inn is under fire once again. Several former employees have levied fresh allegations of illegal profiting by the food kitchen's director, Tony Job. Among the claims is that Job profits by selling donated clothing, food, cars and furniture far from Rockaway.
"I drove up to the Bronx in my truck where we sold clothes for thirty cents a pound," says former employee Mohammed Diallo. "I got two checks for more than $4,000. Then Tony shorted me on gas money and my wages."
Diallo says that Job put the money into his pocket.
Truck driver Adrian Carter claims that Job did not pay him for cleaning Claddagh Inn. "I did $700 worth of labor and never got any money," he said.
Carter also believes that Job is using the Claddagh's status as a charitable organization to line his own pockets. "He (Job) shouldn't use the not-for-profit status to shield his intention to make a profit," Carter argues.
Another former employee, Eric Cunningham, told The Wave that he believes that more people who deal regularly with Job would come forward, but that they won't criticize him because, "They are afraid that their food will get cut off."
"A lot of people want to make a complaint, especially the senior citizens," he added.
Job, who has run the Claddagh Inn since 1988, refutes all of the claims.
"This is a whole lot of rubbish. I'm surprised that people can make allegations and falsehoods to get media attention."
As for their status as former employees, Job maintains that they volunteered their services. "Why would these guys expect to get paid at a soup kitchen?"
With $5,000 in monthly debts to pay, Job claims that money he makes selling clothing and food is spent on the Claddagh Inn. "We have a lot of bills to pay down here. Everything we get is from the people of Rockaway."
While the Claddagh Inn continues to serve 91,000 meals a year and to provide clothing to people in need, several area food banks have chosen to end their associations with Job.
"The Food Bank NYC has inactivated the Claddagh Inn since May of this year because we discovered they were transferring a food product to another organization," says Food Bank NYC communications director, Lisa Jakobsberg.
And, while the Claddagh was associated for many years with the Interfaith Nutrition Network (INN), that association has been terminated as well.
"We ended our relationship with the Claddagh Inn because they could not comply with our standards for food handling and record keeping," says Tony Childs of the Interfaith Nutrition Network (INN).
New York City authorities tend to agree with the food networks.
A recent health inspection of the Claddagh Inn on October 16 noted six critical violations of the City's Department of Health guidelines.
Evidence of live mice, roaches, flies, severely dented cans and improper food heating are documented in the five-page report. Also included in the inspection was "excessive unused clothing," "scattered trash," and "plumbing not properly maintained."
While complaints by former employees mount, people who frequent his soup kitchen praise Job.
"You always come away with something extra from the Tuesday hot lunches," says Maureen Clerke, who pushes her shopping cart more than a mile and a half twice a week for food at the Claddagh Inn. "He always gives you bread or cake or muffins."
At the moment, Job is more concerned with the Claddagh Inn's long-term survival than the allegations. A two-story recreation center is set to take the Inn's place, as the city will soon transfer the property to the new Arverne By The Sea development.
"The cost of moving is significant but the Claddagh Inn will continue," Job promises.

Educating for Sustainable Development (ESD) is for everyone. It is for ALL (humanity and nature). By engaging in processes and activities that promote ESD, we ALL benefit. For higher education to remain relevant and engaged it must not only integrate insights, principles and lessons drawn from perspectives rooted in the Western worldview, ESD must also draw on and learn from other worldviews that include Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Gaianism. This paper highlights a variety of theoretical and practical information for students, teachers, researchers, and administrators who seek to integrate sustainability at all levels from early childhood to higher education. We do not see educating for a sustainable present and future as only an outcome and a process of learning in higher education, but as a catalyst for educational change and institutional innovation. Although some universities are beginning to view ESD as an academic discipline in its own right, the majority of universities are still lagging behind. However, increasing public and professional familiarity with the concept, and the growing urgency of global calls for educating for a sustainable present and future, suggest that ESD may soon become an academic discipline at all universities.

Viloria eyes WBO flyweight crown
By Dennis Principe
Brian Viloria of Waipahu, Hawaii and Liempetch Sor Veerapol made the weight limit with ease as the Hawaiian tallied a fit 112lbs while the Thai came in at 111lbs.
EX-world champion Brian Viloria has been guaranteed a shot at a world title should he win his upcoming non-title fight Friday night at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City. No less than Viloria's manager Gary Gittelsohn has said he has already sealed a deal that will make Viloria the mandatory challenger of the World Boxing Organization (WBO) crown currently being held by Julio Cesar Miranda of Mexico. "It's obviously predicated on a win here. The venue and economics will depend on Brian's performance," said Gittelsohn who arrived in the Philippines Thursday morning. "It's a fight Brian has to look great in against an opponent who's solid but not in Brian's class. Given a good performance Brian will be fighting for a world title."
Gittelsohn said they are seriously considering Hawaii, Las Vegas, Mexico or the Philippines as the host of Viloria's shot at the WBO belt where he was recently elevated as the top contender.
But first things first, Viloria needs to get past Thai challenger Liempetch Sor Veerapol before mapping out strategies for his imminent world title fight.
(follow Viloria-Veerapol fight updates via www.twitter.com/dennisprincipe)
Twice already, Veerapol fought here and in both instances the Thai journeyman was stopped by former world champions Marvin Sonsona and Johnriel Casimiro within five rounds.
But Thai manager Michel Do guaranteed that a totally different Veerapol will show up come fight night.
Do said the 22-year-old Veerapol (19-7-1, 12 KOs), a former lightflyweight of Thailand, has sparred with current world champions and countryman Pongsaklek Wonjongkam and Oleydong Sithsamerchai in preparing for Viloria.
Viloria then added a little more sales pitch for his comeback fight dubbed "Friday Fight Fest" by stating that Veerapol will be more motivated as this is an opportunity for the Thai to beat a distinguished former world champion.
"Because of how he performed in the past, he is now in the type of a fight that usually motivates fighters to come in and try to do better. If I was him I would train hard because in his eyes I am his opportunity for him to get to where he wants to be," said Viloria in during Wednesday's press conference.
This will be Viloria's second fight since losing his International Boxing Federation (IBF) light flyweight belt to Carlos Tamara of Colombia January of this year at the Cuneta Astrodome.
Last July, Viloria scored a lackluster 10-round split decision win over Omar Soto of Mexico also at the Ynares Arena.
In preparing for this fight, the 29-year-old Viloria (27-3, 15 KOs) sparred with high caliber fighters at the Maywood Gym in California specifically against current unified world light flyweight champion Giovanni Segura of Mexico.
"Sparring with world champions is always tough but I held my own pretty well. It' been a great training camp for me," said Viloria, also a former WBC 108lb ruler.
Also seeing action in the same card are Filipino bets Denver Cuello and Rodel Mayol, a former WBC light flyweight champion.
Cuello is set to brawl with Thai Kongkria Kiatpracha while Mayol meets another Thai in Pompetch Twins Gym in a pair of non-title supporting bouts.
Cuello recently got an offer to fight WBO and WBA unified light flyweight champion Giovanni Segura of Mexico on November 27.
According to manager Aljo Jaro, Segura's promoter Fernando Beltran has stated his willingness to wait for the result of Cuello's bout against Kiatpracha.
"I already agreed to their offer and the contract is already with me. If Denver wins and will be unharmed after the bout, we will take that chance of being Segura's challenger," said Jaro.
The 23-year-old Cuello (24-4-6, 14 KOs) expressed to qualms about fighting behind enemy territory as the title challenge is set to happen in Tijuana, Mexico.

Vigil for Elvis planned for tonight
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Elvis Presley fans from around the world are expected to descend on Graceland for a candlelight vigil on the 36th anniversary of his death.
The vigil is scheduled to begin tonight and continue into Friday morning. Each year, thousands of young and old fans of the late rock 'n' roll icon line up for hours for the opportunity to visit his grave inside the walls of Graceland, his longtime Memphis home.
The vigil started as an informal gathering the year after his death on Aug. 16, 1977. It has blossomed into the highlight of Elvis Week, the annual celebration of all things Elvis in Memphis.
The event also has become an international affair, hosting devotees of Presley's from Japan, Brazil, Germany, England and other foreign countries.

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson's ex-wife broke into tears on Wednesday when she took the witness stand in a civil case and described the singer's fear of pain and reliance on physicians.
Debbie Rowe said the pop star trusted doctors to prescribe pain medication to him, but they sometimes tried to outdo each other while losing sight of Jackson's care.
"Michael had a very low pain tolerance and his fear of pain was incredible," Rowe said. "I think the doctors took advantage of him that way."
She said she was with Jackson when he received treatments from his longtime dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein and from plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Hoefflin.
They would try to out-do each other, with each one prescribing different drugs while trying to persuade Jackson their recommendations were better to manage his pain, she said.
The doctors "were going back and forth the whole time, not caring about him," Rowe told jurors.
Rowe is the mother of the singer's two oldest children, Prince and Paris Jackson. She and the pop star were married from 1996 to 1999. Rowe also worked with Klein beginning in the late 1970s.
Rowe said she told another one of Jackson's doctors, Allan Metzger, that she was concerned that Klein and Hoefflin were giving the singer too many medications.
"The only physician who ever did anything, the only physician who cared for Michael was Allan Metzger," Rowe said, fighting back tears.
Rowe said Metzger arranged for two doctors to give Jackson the anesthetic propofol in Germany in 1997 when he complained that he couldn't sleep during his "HIStory" tour.
On two occasions, the doctors brought medical equipment to Jackson's hotel suite and monitored the singer while he was under the effect of the anesthetic for eight hours. The doctors warned Jackson about the dangers of using propofol, but Rowe said he disregarded the information.
"He was just more worried about not sleeping," she said. Rowe said she would not allow the singer to get similar propofol treatments for sleep issues after the use in Germany.
Jackson died from an overdose of propofol that was administered by another physician in 2009.
Rowe also described efforts to wean Jackson off the painkiller Demerol after he had surgery in 1993 to repair damage to his scalp sustained when he was burned while filming a Pepsi commercial years earlier.
She said Metzger devised a plan to treat Jackson's pain with different medications before he went on a leg of his "Dangerous" tour. Rowe lived with Jackson for three weeks to ensure he stayed on the regimen.
"At that point we were friends," Rowe said. "He wasn't a patient."
She said Jackson knew he couldn't take pain medications forever and needed a strong voice to get him off the drugs. "I'm probably one of the only people who said no to him," Rowe said.
Rowe said the plan to break Jackson's use of Demerol failed when a doctor who accompanied the singer on tour gave him the drug while overseas.
A phone message left at Klein's office was not immediately returned. An email sent to Hoefflin's former practice was returned, stating the plastic surgeon retired five years ago and no longer practiced medicine.

For this month's #cloudchat on Thursday, July 11, from 4-5 p.m. ET, we'll be talking about collaboration in today's companies and the companies of the future.
Today, organizations are at varying levels of implementation when it comes to social business practices such as Twitter engagement, blogging and use of internal collaboration tools for all sorts of business issues. What will it take for organizations to balance hyper-collaboration with individual expertise and productivity in five to 10 years?
Open source projects such as Linux, OpenStack and Apache have thrived on an open, collaborative process for years, if not decades, to drive incredible innovation and societal impact. As organizations continue to embrace cloud computing as a means for collaborative business, we need to imagine the impact on work practices, corporate culture, careers, and business success. This #cloudchat will discuss the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow's social business.
Our panel of experts this month includes:
Marcia Conner, Executive Advisor, Analyst, and Best Selling Author Follow @marciamarcia
Marcia advises executives in some of the world's largest companies to unite technologies, analytics, and human power into the energy that drives best-around-the-globe performance. Often brought in as a "fixer," she quickly aligns collaborative strategies with organization culture and amends skill shortages to radically change the speed of innovation. The tools Marcia uses surface people's extraordinary capabilities and spark discovery in quick bursts. She has been quoted on the BBC and World News This Morning, and in The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and Forbes. Former Vice President and Information Futurist at PeopleSoft and Worldwide Manager at Microsoft, she is a fellow of the Batten Institute at the Darden School of Business, a member of Telefónica's Disruptive Council, and has contributed to Fast Company since 2005. Marcia has published three books, the most recent being The New Social Learning: A Guide to Transforming Organizations Through Social Media. She is currently working on a new book about human ingenuity.
Louis Richardson, IBM Worldwide Social Business Evangelist Follow @inter_vivos
In his role, Louis has the opportunity to meet with executives and business managers who have interest in leveraging social software in their organizations. Some are just starting out while others are well on their way. And in every case these conversations have provided Louis with a broad exposure to the practical and business relevant impact that social software is having on today's businesses. While the topic of social business can be complex, Louis' conversational and story-telling style relates well to non-technical audiences. He enjoys sharing his experiences and observations in conferences, workshops and through social communities and blogs.
We've moved to a new chat platform this month, Twubs.com/cloudchat! If you choose to use it for Thursday's chat, let us know what you think. We love the user interface and think it will make chatting even more fun.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Desert/canyon sleeping advice
Jan 31, 2011 at 4:09 pm #1268488
I'm planning to do a couple of backpacking trips in southeastern Utah this fall (Dark Canyon, Grand Gulch). It'll be my first experience sleeping in canyons, so I wanted to see if I could get some advice on the right gear to use for sleeping.
My initial plan was to use a BPL Vapr bivy, light sleeping bag, GG polycryo/NiteLite below, and a cuben fiber or sil-nylon tarp draped above (maybe staked/tied off against wind). After reading more about the bugs, mice, and other creatures that come out at night, though, I started to question if I needed to go with a tent so I could stow everything away and avoid having bugs between my layers and in my gear.
Any advice about sleeping with the creepy-crawlies in the desert?Jan 31, 2011 at 4:53 pm #1690674
Martha S.Member
Hi Michael — I've spent countless nights in the desert, generally with several members of my hiking club. We've been to Dark Canyon and other canyons in the vicinity, as well as locations throughout CA, NV, AZ, and OR. The vast majority of those nights were spent outside a tent and under the stars, which are absolutely incredible in the desert.
I don't know of anyone who's ever had a problem with creepy crawlies in 25 years, apart for myself. I was stung — exactly once — by a scorpion in Grand Canyon — but it was obviously not fatal and not painful enough to keep me from stargazing. It was a hot night and I was lying on top of my sleeping bag at the time, so perhaps you could take an ultralight liner instead of a tent and use it when it's too hot for your regular bag. Other than that I've never even SEEN a scorpion and, if you don't go turning over rocks and putting your hands in places you can't see, you shouldn't either.
I've never had anything crawl into my gear, though I've gone on day hikes and returned to find that ravens had opened the zipper on my backpack and stolen my cookies!
On the other hand, it can get VERY windy in the desert at times, but if you're happy with your tarp skills, I don't see a need for a tent.
Whatever you decide, best of luck!Jan 31, 2011 at 5:10 pm #1690681

My experience has been similar to Martha's. Over 20 years camping in the deserts, and no bites. Cholla on the other hand…Jan 31, 2011 at 5:52 pm #1690705
Thanks for the advice. The opening pages of "Hiking Grand Staircase-Escalante and the Glen Canyon Region," as well as the discussion on the Dark Canyon area, had me a little concerned about bugs and mice, but my concerns are probably unfounded.
In AK, we're blessed with so few bugs that about the only animal concern I have is being a bivy sack burrito for any hungry bears that happen to be passing by.
BG – that's true, and they probably add a few grams of protein, too.Jan 31, 2011 at 5:57 pm #1690711

15 years in the Southwest and TX, I've been stung by scorpions 3 times (twice in the Chiricuahuas – AZ and once at Ft. Hood – TX), plus a couple sightings in some apartments rented in Southwestern cities (one floating in a bowl of Apple Jacks and milk). Still around, so I am not one of the allergic ones. Maybe my trailname should've been "scorpio" but that's just tempting fate.
Each time I've been stung has been handling a rolled up tent door from outside the tent, as scorpions love rolled up fabric (tent doors, rolled drapes, and other "snuggly" spots, like under rocks and logs). Didn't matter if it was a backpacking tent door or canvas tent, watch rolled doors. Also zip everything up if not in use; chances are nothing will happen but there's always the possibility. I still camp in the area and do not consider them, or any creepy crawly, a threat, just take some precautions.
You can see scorpions at night on the desert floor by black light – learned by collecting scorpions with some Biology grad students toting a black light over desert trails at night (FWIW: reflects off the scorpions exoskeleton – BTW diamondback skin does NOT reflect if you try this at home, so watch your feet if you try this). So scorpions are out there doing their thing but humans are too big to eat.
My 2cents: zip up everything not in use and don't sweat it.Jan 31, 2011 at 6:28 pm #1690729
Thanks for the advice about scorpions and rolled fabric. Good stuff. I was a little concerned about a loose tarp resting directly on my bivy. Sounds like I need to avoid that.Jan 31, 2011 at 6:34 pm #1690735

@rloehLocale: northern Rockies
You may know this already – but flash floods are a real hazard of canyon country. There have been several deaths, mainly in slot canyons, in the past few years as the result of flooding. So, just another factor to be aware of – look for high-water marks and avoid wash bottoms in picking campsites, and know that storms on the mesas, miles away, can result in flows far downcanyon. Wonderful country, though…Jan 31, 2011 at 6:40 pm #1690741

I do not think that a tarp on a bivy would matter too much, just shake it. Rolls of tarp fabric resting on the ground might.
Another thing to remember, a scorpion encounter is relatively rare (I lived, played, and worked in the desert for 15 years, partly doing field biology work in the Ft. Bliss/White Sands area, partly hiking/backpacking, and can still count the surprise encounters on one hand – not including scorpion "hunting"- really collecting for scientific collections).
Ditto for other creepy crawly types.Jan 31, 2011 at 6:48 pm #1690748

I can remember the sand fleas in Arches and Canyonlands-very nasty near anything damp. And in Big Bend coming in a month after tarantulas had been crossing the roads en masse by the reports. For a guilty pleasure try to watch The Black Scorpion. It is a classic SF film set in Mexico and right up there with Them! or The Deadly Mantis.

Took my first trip with my 2 girls to Canyonlands a couple springs ago. We agreed that we'd try just tarping it. Our first site, my youngest daughter (10 at the time) immediately spots a small scorpion right under our tarp. I thought I'd lose them both right there!
4 nights with no tent, not another bug. Had a great time. I was most concerned with mice getting into our food, so we all packed food in plastic Costco pretzel containers. No problems!Jan 31, 2011 at 7:41 pm #1690772

You'll have no problems with critters cowboy camping. Grand Gulch and Dark Canyon are highish altitude by desert standards, not prime scorpion country.Feb 1, 2011 at 1:46 am #1690849
The only time I've ever been stung by a scorpion was in my bed at home.
The problem with shelters in the desert is that some desert areas are really dry (who'd a thunk it?) and the ground is hard so stakes don't go in well and you may have to tie off to rocks instead since it's easier than trying to drive a bunch of pilot holes figuring out where the rocks are under the soil.Feb 1, 2011 at 1:46 am #1690850

Like others i rarely use shelter in the desert. I've spent hundreds of nights with no problems. Cedar Mesa's one of my favorite areas by the way. Dark Canyon is incredible.Feb 1, 2011 at 7:33 am #1690893

mike, the combination of your bivy and nightlite may be a great spot for scorpions to gather. the few times ive seen them in person was under my tent or footprint. they may be drawn to the humid conditions of condensation
however, no ill effects have come from scorpion contact. its those pesky mice in Grand Canyon that keep me off the ground. the high use areas are full of them.. sloppy campers to blame. one of the reasons i started hanging was the mouse than ran across my face and stopped for a sec to sniff around my nose.. i had already done away with tents (low bug issues here) so the next logical step was to remain using a tarp, but this time Above the Ground.
i dont much care for curious skunks, either.Feb 1, 2011 at 8:33 am #1690913

Get a well-powered (2 or 3 D-cells) UV flashlight. When they are plentiful, the return glow is pretty intimidating.Feb 1, 2011 at 8:42 am #1690918

First off I would say dont sleep on the canyon floor.
If you do check out flash floods in that area with the locals.
Shake out your boots or shoes, cloths or anything else outside every morning.
I always though well yeah not a big deal. Back in the 70's the first time I spent the night in the Ariz desert, I figured, well better shake out my boots, and there he was. Mister scorpion.
Personally I would take an UL freestanding tent with a lot of mesh in it.Feb 1, 2011 at 9:07 am #1690922

In the Sonora I might take a bit more precaution, but on the high Colorado Plateau (Cedar Mesa area you're talking about is mostly 5500-8000' iirc) I wouldn't worry too much. Do check the weather, but I've camped on the canyon floors many times. I was in Dark Canyon in November and there must have been a crazy huge flash flood at some point last summer. Lots of pretty good sized Cottonwoods recently knocked down and debris really high on trunks/branches.
