CoulterChisel and Rolling Choppers introduced.
Land rollers introduced.
Once again, Summers expands the Devils Lake factory.
As demand for products stretches farther south, Summers begins leasing a distribution center in Aberdeen, South Dakota.
After identifying farmers' needs for a new tillage solution, Summers develops the industry's first true vertical tillage tool: the Supercoulter. Since then, practically every other manufacturer has emulated this concept, and vertical tillage has become a common term among most farmers.
Supersprayer introduced.
Superchisel introduced.
A series of expansions takes place at the Maddock and Devils Lake facilities from 1994-1997. The added space accommodates the production of Summers' rapidly growing product line.
Pickup-mounted sprayers introduced.
The Devils Lake facility undergoes its first expansion.
Hydraulic-fold packer and Harrow Packer introduced.

Harley Summers earns recognition from the Small Business Administration as North Dakota's Small Business Person of the Year.
Summers purchases the manufacturing and marketing rights to the Fargo Field Sprayer line of products.
Superweeder introduced.
Summers once again outgrows its Maddock facility. But this time, the company needs more land than is available at the current site. As a result, Summers builds its new 26,000-square-foot factory on 24 acres within the new Devils Lake industrial park.
Summers purchases the manufacturing and marketing rights of Crown rock pickers.
Agri-Sprayer introduced.
Due to overwhelming success, Summers constructs a 20,000-square-foot plant and office building. However, the new space was quickly outgrown, and another 20,000-square-foot assembly plant was added in 1975, bringing the total square footage of the Maddock facility to 47,000.
After collaborating with local farmer Ardon Herman to build a heavy-duty harrow, Summers purchases the rights to manufacture and market the product. Originally known as the Herman Harrow, it quickly helped Summers earn its reputation for building Field Tested Tough agricultural equipment.
Harley Summers incorporates his business, officially naming it Summers Manufacturing Company, Inc.
After searching for new business opportunities, Harley Summers purchases the patent rights for Goebel truck and pickup hoists. He starts manufacturing the products in a small shop but quickly outgrows the space, requiring him to build a 7,200-square-foot factory in Maddock to meet demand.
What is an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)?
What is an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)?
This is the plan where employees own a substantial part or the entire company.
What does it mean to be employee owned?
Being employee owned means that the employees have a stake in the company. The success of the company is tied directly to employee goals and accountabilities.

Everton manager David Moyes last night insisted that he would use money from the sale of Joleon Lescott to bring in some experienced new players before the transfer window closes.
Lescott, the England defender, is set to bring his transfer saga to a close today by completing a move to Manchester City for a fee of around £22m.
With the transfer window closing a week on Tuesday, Moyes does not intend to mess around as he looks to strengthen his team after starting the season with back-to-back Premier League defeats to Arsenal and Burnley.
Moyes, who has been highly critical of City for their public pursuit of Lescott, could not resist another dig at the Manchester club over the way they have conducted themselves over Lescott.
"We shouldn't have been made to wait this amount of time for what we feel is the right cash for the lad," Moyes said.
"We definitely need freshening up and we will try and do that. You can always spend money if you pay the right prices."

might have been one of the explosives levels cos I ran out of explosives, pretty early on, not sure how many levels there are.
Thanks for the feedback mechabit. Do you happen to remember the level in which you had the crash?
Nice, reminds me of boom blox on wii. Had a crash when I tried restarting a level though.
Nice demo video. Destroying things can be quite meditative. And satisfying.

1.5day sub install
Told on thursday at 5 pm I could compete for my store, built boxes, amp rack, wiring and sound processor. Done with install at 9:10 at store, Reg started at 9am. Tuned all day waiting for turn to have sweep for res freq. Then in line for actual run.
Hit 144.3 with 4 Fosgate P3D412's on a P1000-1BD wired at .5 ohms
Came in 3rd place, but If I actually had time to build a wall, I'm pretty sure I'd have 1st.
Win for the WJ's
Re: 1.5day sub install
Lol, for the love of god, you guys are lookers, not posters. But I'm starting prob the most intensive build you guys have seen. It will be a Demo vehicle for my install bay, Competition SPL, SQ and I hope park and pound.
It will take a fair amount of time, Pictures to come as long as people are interested?
Let me know if there are any interested parties that want to see a build like this. If not, sorry it's not worth all the time to post.
Re: 1.5day sub install
I would love to see what you do with it. I'm building a less elaborate system in my WK but appreciate the art of building systems. So at this point you have one follower.

Ha! Yeah there is at least one dude here. Out of curiosity what part of the country are you in? I am in the Northwest and you know you always hope people doing cool stuff are close to you so that's why I'm curious. I'm doing a less extravagant install in my WK here pretty soon. While shopping for cable I just saw a very clean install in a Cadillac hearse. Attachment 43826

Re: 1.5day sub install
Erie PA. Would love to help locals out in the install business. If you're ever looking for anything imparticular to have custom done, let me know!! I sometimes will do things for cost of materials just cause I can, and to get my name out there.
Re: 1.5day sub install
Sorry for crazy delays.
There has been a long line of events dealing with my back, leading to a spinal surgery on 12/23/14
I haven't done much for my crazy install yet.
It will happen as soon as I can visualize what I want as an end product.
On a good note, My new TERMLAB Magnum should arrive within about a week so I can tune the finished system.
Right now I have the 4 Fosgate P3D412's, Kicker QS 6.75 components up front, (2) P1000-1BD, P400-4 and a 3sixty.2 Processor. Kenwood KIV-900BT as a source.
I have Kicker comp R/r 6.5 MidBass drivers waiting to go in and a Fosgate 200-2.
I may swap equipment or add too, I may fiberglass the amps in the C-Pillar windows, I may make a tv mount in the rear headliner bump that will fold down for tailgating and shows.
Lots of not sure right now. I'll start to figure more out when I can move around more freely.
Re: 1.5day sub install
Well I have completed my Big 3 upgrade on my WK. I have installed my JL Audio 1000/1 with 2 12W3v2's using the REC navi head unit and the Audio Control LCM2 line converter. My dash has been updated with Kicker DSC354's but the doors are yet to be done because I also ended up in the hospital in Portland Oregon, and I'm still here.
I hope you're feeling better soon. I've kept an eye open to see when you updated the "crazy install" which it looks like you're on your way. Im curios how did those 6.75" Kickers fit into the front doors? That might be the speaker for me as well. Good luck going into the new year.

Re: 1.5day sub install
I massaged the 6x9 metal out a little and build fiberglass enclosures for them.
Sadly I have a ton of equipment already, I just Need to pin down exactly which way I want to go with this vehicle. It is such a muti purpose vehicle I can't just build a wall that stays there, But one I can put in for a week to compete would work.
We'll see what I come up with, lol

After being shamed in the States, Raheem Sterling became Roy Hodgson's main man in Manaus.
During England's three-match build-up to last night's opening World Cup match, Sterling had barely done anything in the public domain of note aside from embroil himself in an avoidable moment of controversy to earn a red card against Ecuador that raised questions about his readiness for the biggest stage of all.
But far from admonishing the prodigiously gifted teenager, Hodgson spoke glowingly in subsequent days about Sterling's response in training – he was frequently the best on show when media were allowed to witness a complete session – using eye-catching adjectives "unstoppable" and "breathtaking" to describe his performances in practice.
The England manager was sufficiently moved, despite just 39 minutes' evidence since naming his squad, to not only hand Sterling his third start, but deploy him in the number 10 position ahead of Wayne Rooney.
This was quite a night for the 19-year-old to take centre stage. Hodgson no doubt had tactical reasons beyond Sterling's individual threat; Italy's 4-1-4-1 system included Daniele De Rossi sitting as the deepest midfielder with Andrea Pirlo, England's nemesis at Euro 2012, slightly further forward alongside Marco Verratti.
With De Rossi and Pirlo into their thirties – the latter considerably so – Sterling's ability to press the ball high up the pitch and quickly transition into attack was in theory a catalyst for England's counter-attacking.
He threatened more than that at the start. Sterling picked the ball up just inside the Italy half, beat two men and struck a rising effort from 25 yards which hit the side netting in a way that brought half the ground to its feet believing England had made the best possible start.
Back in February, Sterling revealed the key to his renaissance after a spell out of the team at Liverpool.
"I realised I need to stop being shy amongst the senior boys," he said. "I needed to be more confident. You have to respect the senior players around you but you have to stamp your own mark on the game."
It perhaps takes the fearlessness of youth to adopt the same approach on the international stage but Sterling did his best here.
Midway through the first half, Sterling popped up on the left flank and drifted past Marco Verratti with embarrassing ease before delivering an excellent ball across the six-yard box that Danny Welbeck was only denied the chance to convert by some robust Italian defending.

5/26 Leighton Baines: 5
Repeatedly exposed and never got chance to display his attacking abilities, other than one superb slipped pass for Rooney.
6/26 Jordan Henderson: 6
Putting him right beside Gerrard made England, and the player, look a little flat.
7/26 Steven Gerrard: 6
Typically effective in attacks, less dependable when forced to defend.
8/26 Danny Welbeck: 7
A productive showing that dismissed doubts over whether he should start.
9/26 Raheem Sterling: 7
The player who best defined some of the new optimism around England.
10/26 Wayne Rooney: 5
One fine assist, a lot of futile play. Poor.
11/26 Daniel Sturridge: 7
A Gary Lineker-style finish to a cap a fine World Cup debut.
12/26 Ross Barkley: 6
Relatively quiet in between two rousing runs.
13/26 Jack Wilshere: 6
Still not looking 100 per cent
14/26 Salvatore Sirigu: 7
Stepped in for the injured Gigi Buffon and then stepped up, making some excellent saves
15/26 Matteo Darmian: 7
A good performance, even if his pace wasn't as penetrative as usual.
16/26 Andrea Barzagli: 8
So dependable, and perpetuating a fine line of Italian defenders.
17/26 Gabriel Paletta: 7
The hair might be thinning, but the former Liverpool player made his own presence felt.
18/26 Giorgio Chiellini: 6
Some cynical challenges, and still doesn't look entirely comfortable at left-back
19/26 Daniele De Rossi: 7
The necessary aggression amid so much Italian elegance.
20/26 Antonio Candreva: 7
An utterly exceptional cross for Balotelli's goal, and a surprise he was taken off.
21/26 Marco Veratti: 7
Barely misplaced a ball, and played a key role in the first goal.
22/26 Andrea Pirlo: 7
The clever passes are too plentiful to remember, but the dummy for the opening goal impossible to forget.
23/26 Claudio Marchisio: 7
A brilliantly precise finish, a productive performance.
24/26 Mario Balotelli: 7
Frequently a threat, occasionally wasteful, but ultimately the match-winner.
25/26 Thiago Motta: 7
Shored up Italy well when coming on.
26/26 Ciro Immobile: 6
Wasted one good chance, but kept England occupied.
Sterling's deployment was not an unqualified success, especially against someone as wily as Pirlo. Collectively, England were unable to prevent periods in which Pirlo dictated terms in a familiar re-run of Kiev two years ago and it was apt that he should have a key role in Italy's opening goal, leaving the ball to run with delicious indifference for Claudio Marchisio to beat Joe Hart from 25 yards.
But going forward, England looked promising. Sterling regularly switched positions with Danny Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge and Rooney in an interchanging of positions that prompted uncertainty in the Italian defence but it was from that central role that he helped to bring England level.
Sterling's beautifully weighted defence-splitting pass freed Rooney on the left and Sturridge did the rest.
There is a genuine dynamism to England's front four – plus the additional dimension of Ross Barkley from the bench – that bodes well as England look to recover from this defeat.
They offer a combination of pace, invention and unpredictability that should give England a fighting chance of salvation, especially with Uruguay's defence looking so shaky in Fortaleza and Costa Rica not guaranteed to replicate their marvellous display.
It took guts for Hodgson to opt for Sterling and that bravery did not get the reward it deserved. England's defending continues to act as their Achilles' heel – make that only nine clean sheets in 23 matches since their last tournament outing – but they threatened Italy more in attack here than in Ukraine to suggest that some form of progress has been made.
Hodgson's England may well be flawed, especially against top level opposition – the wait for a tournament win against high-ranking opposition since defeating Argentina in 2002 goes on – but he was right to give youth his head here.Reuse content

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon origin and came from the baptismal name Siward, which was an Old English personal name. Baptismal names began to appear as surnames relatively late in the growth of the naming tradition. This is a little surprising, given the popularity of biblical figures in the Christian countries of Europe. Nevertheless, surnames derived from baptismal names grew in popularity during the Middle Ages, and have become one of the foremost sources for surnames.
Soward Early Origins

Soward Spelling Variations
Soward Spelling Variations
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Soward have been found, including Seward, Sewerd, Saward and others.

Eating and drinking are basic pleasures and swallowing is almost automatic. We don't even think about it. However, for many of the elderly and especially at end-of- life, the ability to swallow can greatly diminish and normal nourishment may become increasingly difficult. New ways of eating must then be explored to facilitate the swallowing reflex and minimize hazards that can result in choking, aspiration or having food get caught somewhere in the esophagus.
Dysphagia is defined as difficulty or discomfort when swallowing. Problems arise due to medications, cancer treatment and loss of control over the swallowing reflex caused by various other diseases.
The Act of Swallowing
A swallow is a complex process, involving four phases with many different muscles and nerves. We have conscious control over the first two, as we put food or drink in the mouth, chew and then move it back towards the throat by a lifting action of the tongue. The last two phases occur automatically once they are started. The final phases involve the bolus entering the esophagus and being carried down to the stomach by peristalsis, worm-like muscular contractions which occur in waves.
Once the food or drink has been directed downward toward the esophagus, muscles contract to close the larynx and the upper esophagus opens up to allow the bolus to enter. Most people who have difficulty swallowing also have problems with the involuntary phases.
Special Points of Interest:
Causes and Incidence
Swallowing disorders affect 45 percent of people over age 65 and are seen in approximately 65 percent of those living in long-term-care facilities. The majority of individuals who have undergone surgery or radiation in the head and neck area, usually due to cancer, suffer nerve and/or muscle damage which results in dysphagia. Also, many stroke victims and those with neurodegenerative disorders such as MS, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's have similar difficulties.
Problem Areas
If the muscles in the upper part of the esophagus are weak, food can get stuck in the throat. This generally results in the food being regurgitated back into the throat.
If the lower esophageal muscles are weak, including the sphincter muscle which closes off the esophagus from the stomach, acid reflux and heartburn will result. A number of food components have a relaxation effect on this muscle and are therefore contraindicated, as they will increase the risk for reflux. These include caffeine, peppermint, fried food, spices and chocolate.
If the airway to the lungs isn't closed off tightly, food or fluid can spill into the lungs. If they become infected, pneumonia can result. Many persons with dysphagia are prone to recurrent bronchitis and pneumonia as a result of aspirating food and drink. This is a serious, life-threatening complication which frequently requires the placement of a feeding tube to minimize further occurrences.
In patients who are at risk for aspiration, certain food components are especially irritating to the lining of the lungs. If acidic food or drink, caffeine or hot spices get down into the lungs, they can become inflamed. This greatly increases the probability for infection and acute respiratory problems. Therefore all citrus, tomato, spicy and caffeinated food and drink must be avoided.
Signs and Symptoms
Many people do not realize the true nature or extent of their problem. They will avoid seeking help and not admit there is anything wrong. They typically eat very slowly, cough and clear their throat frequently during meals, and are prone to choking.
These individuals often hold food in their mouths for long periods of time, pocketing it on one side, particularly when they have not had a chance to get rid of it unseen. The negative consequences experienced with eating diminish their interest in food and weight loss is a common result. Those with swallowing difficulties often suffer dehydration, malnutrition and fatigue from low intake.
Here are some situations that indicate a physician should be seen:
Feeding Time
Individuals with swallowing disorders take longer to eat largely because of weakened muscles. It's important to eat in a peaceful environment where there is no pressure to finish meals quickly. Also, eating when tired or agitated should be avoided.
Patients should always be seated in an upright position to receive meals and snacks. They need to remain in this posture for about 20 minutes afterwards to lessen the chance of aspirating fluid into the airways.
Dietary Modifications
There are three levels of dysphagia diets. Level three is closest to a normal diet and Level one is a pureed diet. Each person is individual and food acceptability does not always fall along the lines of these dietary parameters. As the swallowing ability diminishes, the diet becomes closer to liquid as thinner foods require less propulsive force to clear them through the pharynx.
On the Level three, advanced diet, most normal foods are allowed with the exception of things that are typically problematic. These may include:
Foods that are stringy or fibrous such as fresh pineapple, corn and celery.
Level two is a mechanical diet which emphasizes soft, moist foods. The Level one, pureed diet precedes a full liquid diet. When patients are no longer able to swallow, they can receive nourishment via tube feeding.
Liquids often need to be thickened as this slows and increases control over the flow. Thick-It and Thik & Clear are two powdered thickeners that can be stirred into liquids to change their consistency. Additionally, fruit juices, milk, coffee, tea and water are available in various size containers and degrees of thickness. It's also easier to control the flow of liquids through a straw or sippy cup. There is specialized equipment available specifically for those with dysphagia.
Making your own frozen foods and side dishes is an economical way to provide convenient meals ahead of time. Just make family-sized portions and freeze the leftovers in separate plastic containers, freezer bags or ice cube trays. These are so handy when time is short, you don't feel like cooking, or the family meal is not appropriate.
With careful attention to color, flavor and consistency, eating can remain enjoyable and satisfying as well as nutritionally adequate for patients with dysphagia. Many cookbooks are now available which provide numerous recipe ideas to keep the diet varied and interesting.

Spin Control: Spokane port district push resurfaces
Sun., Feb. 16, 2014, midnight
OLYMPIA – It's possible that in politics, as in fashion, everything comes back in style.
I believe in the latter and save a particularly striking, albeit too wide, paisley necktie from the 1970s that I really like but don't wear because of my daughter, who makes her living telling other people what not to wear and who I suspect would be all too happy to give me her expert advice for free. I keep it in the back of the tie drawer, bring it out on occasion to consider with new shirts or jackets, then put it back without knotting a full Windsor.
Spokane political leaders apparently believe in political full circles, salivating once again over the prospect of a port district. They're supporting legislation that would change the way such districts are formed in hopes of gaining approval from voters who in the past have been skeptical.
How skeptical? In 1982, a proposal to form a port district in Spokane County suffered one of the worst defeats in local electoral history, a no-to-yes ratio of about 4 to 1. For perspective, Barack Obama did better than that in Kootenai County and Mitt Romney did better in the heart of Seattle.
There are several reasons why the port district proposal sank like the Titanic 32 years ago. One was that when people think of a "port" they think of a place where large ocean-going ships pull in to unload, and the Spokane River seems a tad small for that. A larger factor was probably that the election took place in the middle of a recession, and voters were being asked "Would you like to have a new tax?"
Since then, a significant portion of Spokane's powers-that-be have bided their time for a redo, convinced that voters would come to their senses and approve this portal into economic prosperity if given a second chance.
This year, the Legislature has the latest wrinkle in making port districts acceptable with a pair of bills to change the way they are constituted. Under current law, when a community votes whether to form a port district, it also elects district commissioners. In 1982, this resulted in three folks being elected to a board that didn't exist, and possibly creating a Final Jeopardy answer for the category "Spokane Political Trivia."
Under House Bill 2457 and its companion Senate Bill 6315, voters would first decide if they want a district, then elect commissioners at the next election if the proposal succeeds.
HB 2457 sailed through the House on a 95-2 vote last week; SB 6315 awaits a vote by the Senate. Nothing is certain in this legislative session, but the bipartisan support for these two bills makes the idea a good bet.
Then the question will be whether this small change is enough to help dress up a port district and make it fashionable for Spokane voters. Otherwise, the leaders may have to stick it way back in the political ideas drawer for a while.
Nuke study advances
The Senate also flashed back briefly to the 1980s last week in a discussion of nuclear power. Or as several senators would have it, "nucular power." It approved a bill calling for the study of new "modular" nuclear technologies to see whether they make economic sense.
This may seem strange in a state that witnessed the largest financial meltdown over nuclear power, along with the most onomatopoeic acronym for a mistake of nuclear proportions when WPPSS was pronounced as "Whoops!" But the 1980s were a long time ago, and some memories apparently have short half-lives.
The debate featured some of the same back and forth that has marked discussions of nuclear power in the country for decades. The Navy operates nuclear reactors on ships in Puget Sound without incident, said Sen. John Braun, R-Centralia. "We shouldn't just say no because it's nuclear."
Sen. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch, said fears about nuclear safety "have been overblown" and contended residents of the Southeast and Atlantic Coast who are facing long power outages because of a storm would be happy to have more power. Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle, said he was confusing power generation with power transmission, which was the source of those outages.
Sen. Christine Rolfes, D-Bainbridge Island, cited nuclear disasters at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima, and said the state was "only lucky" it hasn't had such problems at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
"Why would we be looking at this as a new source of energy? Over the last 50 years, it has been a disaster," Rolfes said.
Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, said he had no problem with the study but he felt the language in the bill's intent section was too broad in declaring nuclear power a "safe industry."
The study passed 34-15.

If you bought shares in a company whose value was intentionally exaggerated so you would make the investment, you may benefit from the services of a securities fraud lawyer (sometimes called an investment fraud attorney). Securities fraud is a white-collar crime that has increased as the Internet and stock markets have grown. One securities fraud example was the infamous Enron scandal, which allegedly involved top executives manipulating financial reports and filing false tax reports. While it is difficult for many investment fraud victims to recover their money, using a securities fraud lawyer will better your chances.

Don't Let Your Kids Suffer From "Nature Deficit Disorder"
To witness a deer in full flight is astounding. It's particularly impressive when you are standing only a few feet from its flight path.
I was walking with friends and their one-year-old son at the back of their farm on the Niagara Escarpment near Mansfield, Ontario a few days ago. We were making our way downhill, into the shaded cedar forest that leads to the Boyne River.
The yearling deer bounded past us, scared up by our presence. It was so nimble and in those few seconds, it appeared to be more a creature of air than land. It was a brief moment of wonder in the cedars. None of us had ever been that close to a deer on its best move before.
In general, forests house endless opportunities for wonder. But cedar forests are special places to me all on their own. There was one behind the house where I lived in until I was seven. It was a small clump of trees but its offerings were boundless. Even though the address was Hickory Street, the cedars are the ones holding tight to my memory, to my makeup.
My friends and I spent countless hours building forts, unearthing treasures like snail shells and climbing up on the huge lone stone that proved the glaciers must have passed through. That was what my neighbour's dad told us and how could I not be compelled by the idea of a giant ice sheet dragging boulders for thousands of miles before dropping one on my street? It was more than a decade later that I learned about glacial erratics, but as a young girl, I was captivated by nature's clues to a time I couldn't see. It was a story about my home that was way older than me and it made me curious.
But these types of childhood experiences are now fewer and farther between. Last month, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB ) released a report stating that only one in five children in the U.K. have a "level of connection to nature that can be considered 'realistic and achievable' for all children." The report speaks to a growing global concern that children have diminishing connections to the natural world and that this lack of engagement isn't good for anyone.
The impacts of this disconnect are sobering: the absence of nature in early years has been linked to a loss of emotional and physical well-being, impaired social skills, poor memory and declining academic performance, to name a few.
This lack of connection between youth and nature is not only a Pandora's Box for our children but for the natural world itself, say the authors. While we spend less and less time in nature, the number of threatened or endangered species grows and habitat loss continues at an alarming rate. With a loss of connection comes the loss of bearing witness, of understanding, of personal motivation to respond.
Personal observation and time in place play a critical role in learning. Actually seeing, smelling and feeling pine cones, millipedes, frogs and fossils for example allows children to learn on a whole different level. Learning about forests within a forest habitat, learning about wetlands by standing on the edge of one, and seeing a salamander under a log for the first time -- these are the kinds of experiences that we hope inspire lifelong learning and curiosity about the natural world.
Back on Hickory Street, under the forest's cool and lacy canopy we dreamt up games and imagined history -- who had walked through this forest before us? What animals had lived there or just passed by? The odd deer bone provided hours of speculation. Even now, when I find myself wandering through a stand of cedars, like that day at the Boyne River, I feel at home in that coolness. I remember pieces of my childhood amidst the shaggy reddish brown bark, the sideways swinging trunks and moist soils. And like that deer, wondrous things still happen when I spend time outside.
Initiatives such as the RSPB's, aimed at "putting nature back into childhood,"are burgeoning all over the world as collective response to what Richard Louv calls a "nature deficit disorder" amongst our children, amongst ourselves. In my home province, the Ontario government recently announced the Ontario Children's Outdoor Charter in an effort to encourage discovery, play, learning and education in nature.
If the connected futures of a healthy natural world and healthy people are dependent upon an engaged citizenry with personal connections to place, how do we get there? It's an important question to me, as my son will turn six years old next month. How will I help him find his special places, like my cedar forests? We get outside, one wonderful adventure at a time. Who knows what we will see, what we will find together.
Written by Erica Thompson, national conservation engagement manager for the Nature Conservancy of Canada and contributor to Land Lines (the Nature Conservancy of Canada blog).
Yellows and oranges come from carotenoids, the colouring agent of corn and carrots.
Carotenoids are chlorophyll side-kicks whose colours are masked while chlorophyll is in the limelight. Yellow is probably Canada's most common fall tree colour.
The vast boreal forest shimmers with gold in the fall because leaves of poplars and birches, the common deciduous trees there, are packed with carotenoids.
Red and sugar maples are famous for brilliant reds, which can intensify with warm, bright days and cool nights.
In the fall, shortened day length triggers deciduous trees to shut down their photosynthesis. The chlorophyll breaks down, often with spectacular results. Blasts of colour -- from banana yellows and fluorescent-vest oranges to candy-apple red -- shine through and set branches ablaze.
The diversity of tree species makes our eastern forests stand out in the fall.

The Fitbit Force is the wristband fitness tracker follow-up to the Fitbit Flex that makes notable improvements by adding a display, an altimeter to track elevation and additional new features that means it works more like a smart watch.
Already available in the US, the Force will be with us in the UK in March with a price tipped to be around the £99 mark making it cheaper than the Nike Fuelband SE. It keeps the same attractive design and with the already impressive third party app support should put it among the best fitness trackers to keep an eye out for in 2014.
SEE ALSO: Best Fitness Trackers
Wider and thicker than the Flex, the Force is now only available in black and Slate, but does keep the same clasp as the Flex to keep it secure on the wrist. There's no pod enclosed in the rubbery strap as it's now replaced by a built-in OLED display that can be tapped to display information with a single button alongside it to also navigate between screens.
While the Flex is waterproof, the Force loses its ability to fend off water when you go for a swim and is disappointing to see that Fitbit has not retained this feature that most fitness trackers lack. To wear, it's a similar experience and feels light and comfortable enough to wear day and night.
Swapping the limited array of LED lights for a Fitbit One-style display means there's less reliance on a smartphone to review your progress with the ability to view the time, see your step count, calories burned, flight of stairs climbed, distance travelled, sleep and 'active minutes' which is similar to the Sessions mode on the Nike Fuelband SE and separates more intensive activity from simply walking to the bus stop.
Fitbit has also added a stopwatch and Caller ID support for iOS 7-running iPhones so when you receive a call, the Force will vibrate and display the name of the caller. Using the same 3-axis accelerometer to track movement, a built-in vibration motor also means you can be alerted when alarms go off.
Data can still be synced in real-time via the Fitbit app over Bluetooth 4.0 with iPhone and select Android smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 currently supported. Like previous Fitbits, there's a USB dongle in the box to sync data to a Mac or PC.
The Force has an improved battery life giving it around 10-12 days and has to be charged from Fibit's proprietary charging cradle so it's another charger you'll need to keep a hold of as these things are usually very easy to misplace.
The Fitbit Force makes necessary changes that ultimately let down the Fitbit Flex and we are glad that a better battery life and a display is included this time round. From a software perspective, Fitbit still offers the most comprehensive platform to review data and feeds in information from other apps and has a growing community of users.
The loss of its waterproof design is a disappointment and the screen feels too small to adequately replace wearing a watch. If it's priced at just under £100 it will actually be around £20 more than the Flex and with more fitness trackers like the Garmin Vivofit, the Sony SmartBand and LG LifeBand Touch, Fitbit is going to have to work harder to stay out on top.
Fitbit have missed a trick here. They should have incorporated a watch. I'd be in the market for that. Don't want to wear a watch and this too.
The Force does have a watch...
Sorry - I meant a 'proper' watch - one that is always displayed and you don't have to press anything and that isn't too tiny.
Sony have managed to do this with their SW2 where the time is always displayed with minimal battery use - shame it sucks at everything else!!
Still waiting for the perfect device ....!!!!
Sounds like "First World Problems" to me.
Why not just get a watch!
Checkout the "Jaybird Reign" coming out this summer...
and get yourself a watch...
You are kidding me right? Because the fitbit itself is a life saving necessity??
In the age of cell phones, tablets, etc. You want another thing that displays time? I've got a suggestion for a "proper watch", it's called a watch. It's a fitness tracker, that happens to tell the time. It's advertised as a fitness tracker, not a watch.
Not sure what you're getting so upset about.
I'm merely saying that if this is to be worn on the wrist, I'd like it to tell the time too. I do not wish to wear a watch and this. I do not wish to have to press a button to tell the time.
You may walk around with your phone and tablet strapped to your wrist to tell the time. I still use my watch to tell the time.
Upset? How can you tell exactly how I'm feeling? What I'm saying is that your pointing out that you would have a constant display to tell the time, rather than pushing a button. That would be considered a "First World Problem". I'm not upset, could not care less, it's funny.
For rest whose actually interested in a fitness tracker.. checkout the "Jaybird Reign" due to be released this summer. I was going to get the bitfit but Jaybird seems to be what Fitbit should be.. I dont want to spend $100+ and then another couple hundred in six months so I'm going to wait!
$199 price point my turn some people off, I haven't seen much info on the mobile app and desktop interface. That for the most part will be the deciding point. It does look very futuristic, I must say.
Not waterproof? What was Fitbit thinking? Surely they understand that many swim to stay fit and would like to track that activity. What a failed omission for their flagship product.

It is Monday lunchtime and I have just cycled home from the Chelsea Flower Show press day. I try to get there early to avoid the film crews and celebrities, the buzz and the hype. This is not easy, since these days style overwhelms content and draws the media like moths to a flame. Now I am back here at my desk wondering quite where to begin.
I decided to concentrate on the plants rather than enter into the debate about the gardens for fear of not doing the debate justice. The gardens are where horticulture and design meet, but for now I want to look where, in my opinion, the real substance of the show lies - with the growers in the pavilion. Without their expertise and devotion, Britain's worldwide reputation for horticultural excellence would be half what it is. We gardeners are spoiled by them, and the Chelsea show is a celebration of their talents.
I am lucky being able to see behind the scenes and I always get there on the Sunday, while things are still in flux, the energy is up and most stands are in a state of apparent turmoil. Carefully packed boxes and trolleys stacked with paris and trillium, cactus, fuchsias and even hemp littered the aisles. Tree peonies and irises were muffled, their blooms held tightly wrapped in lint and gauze so that they did not get damaged before the opening. Vegetables were being polished, grasses combed with tiny rakes, less-than-perfect cactus spines removed with pliers, and auriculas and lilies dusted of errant pollen with tiny paintbrushes. HW Hyde & Son was constructing a scented pyramid of lilies, which looked like it might come toppling down. On the stand of the Eric Young Orchid Foundation from Jersey, moss was being pushed into cracks to hide pots and slipper orchids with tails like lyrebirds were being misted down. This stand had something dreamlike about it, with tiny, neon-bright orchids jostling for space with the 12ft-tall bamboo orchid standing as high as the stepladders used to prep every flower.
If you are lucky you can catch the experts as they stand back to admire their efforts, and that is when you hear their stories. On the Botanic Nursery stand, where I was admiring the perennial Digitalis 'Glory of Roundway', I was told that the plants had been intended for the Birmingham NEC show in June, but that the Chelsea plants had gone over in the warm weather more than two weeks early - a common story. Allium schubertii punctuated the display at the Avon Bulbs stand like fireworks. Tulips, gladioli, dahlias and anemone were all blooming at once, doing what only Chelsea does so well - getting us excited about the potential of the season ahead.
The fantastic Southfield Nurseries, home of Cactusland, was as good as a sweetshop, with its rows of otherworldly succulents blooming in candy shades of tangerine and bubble-gum pink. They reminded me I was hungry and, after a sickly brownie designed to get my sugar levels back up, I found myself beside the Jekka's Herb Farm stand. In timely fashion Jekka fed me with peppery mustards that were not being used in the display, and they eclipsed the sugar in seconds. A red theme ran through her stand in plants like Eastern water pepper (Persicaria hydropiper var purpurascens - one nibble is enough to blow your head off), lush 'Batavian red' lettuce, plum-coloured Tanzanian basil, red orache and amaranthus. The 'Red frills' mustard leaf tasted firstly of new potatoes, with the kick of mustard coming afterwards - 'Perfect as a cut-and-come-again salad crop,' said Jekka, reminding me that seed was for sale. In less than five minutes I bought 10 packets of salads to try back home. At a show where the buzzword was 'sustainability', I found it extraordinary that Jekka remains the only organically certified floral exhibitor.
I wandered on, weaving from one little mood to the next, collecting treasures in my notebook. At the edge of the Ken Muir stand my mouth watered in the heavy cloud of strawberry perfume - a small torture not to be able to taste them, but I buried my nose in Portland roses on the Peter Beales Nursery stand to compensate. I stumbled upon a Scotch briar there named 'Murjami'. Very rare, and not in the catalogue yet, but the most beautiful single crimson and, in all these years of looking, one I had never seen before.
On the Dibleys Nurseries begonia stand I relived my first Begonia rex and rather lusted after the curious 'Escargot', with its graphic swirl in the leaf. Though I have not owned one since I was about seven or eight, and I am not a house-plant man, Chelsea does this to you. It whets your appetite. So, after a spell on the Jacques Amand stand drooling over the exotic woodlanders and wondering how any plant could look more sinister and yet more appealing than Arisaema griffithii, I swung around to be confronted by the utter calm of the Mendip Bonsai Studio stand. The stand holder was just sitting, looking at these perfectly still, perfectly exquisite compositions. I am not a bonsai man either, but there, displayed simply against white canvas, the 200-year-old Juniperus chinensis caught my imagination. I was instantly miles away, feeling the time and hours spent on its twisted trunk. An exquisite Acer palmatum was in early copper leaf, holding the moment in miniature, while a Satsuki azalea was a froth of blossom, like a fantasy cloud of pink.
I kept the calm mood going at the Fernatix stand, and was tipped off that the reason my Athyrium 'Silver Falls' failed was that all the plants in the country have been exhausted by micropropagation. The genetic stock of this selection is ruined. If I want something similar I should opt for A 'Wildwood Twist'.
Towards the end of the day, with my head buzzing, I stumbled out of the tent to make my way along the main avenue to look at the show gardens. By now, the less sustainable aspects of the show were revealing themselves. Skips were filling with the plants that never made it, but an encouraging scrum was developing around a batch of unwanted yet perfect clematis. They were gone in less than a minute, the appetite for plants heightened by the environment, and a precursor of the last day's Great Plant Sale. One thing's for sure: by then it won't just be me whose head is spinning.

What have you based your proposed marathon pace on? Previous result at the half marathon? How long have you been running? How many times/miles a week do you run and what do you do in each session?
You shouldn't be running your long runs at marathon pace - that's why they're known as long, slow, runs and treadie speed won't be the same as that you can sustain on the road. Run your long and recovery runs easy and work hard at your interval, tempo, hill sessions - whatever it is you're doing for speedwork.
I targeted 4hr based off a 1:55 HM in early training, managed a 1:46 half a month before, but ended up with 4:18 (~1:52 half way) - The main reason, looking back, was not enough miles (25-30/week) and not enough LSR's at 20 miles (4 over 18 miles, none over 19). My increased pace over training came from longer slower runs, I didn't do any speedwork - probably dropped 1 min/mile over 4 months.
This time I'm building up (for Sept) with an aim of at least 5 x 20 miles LSRs, and probably around 45 miles a week.
I think a reasonable conversion without a solid endurance background is 2 x HM PB plus 20 - 30 minutes. It's those long runs that make the difference definitely. I rarely do speed work as I tend to break but have gradually brought my times down over all distances with consistent training. Stick with it, slow down the longer runs and get those 20 milers going and enjoy the ride.
I have my first marathon in three weeks, and am doing a long slow 20 mile one, but i just listen to my body without any speed in mind, other than to just take it easy. Average about 8.2 minute mile in the second 10 mile stretch, first 10, about 8 give or take. Bearing in mind i am a 7 minute miler normally and have run 15 half's. I think everyone is different therefore, but i do try and fit in an 8 miler at normal half marathon pace. No real speed work, but lots of stretching on days off, and maximum recovery after long run, to avoid injury.
I have been increasing my distance since January, which is why 20 miles is quite comfortable now, and feel no side effects the next day. Its all about pushing your body further, but not taking any shortcuts, and trying to get there quicker than your body is ready for.

Thirsty Dog Brewing Co. released its seasonal Pumpkin Ale on Wednesday (Oct. 16) at the Akron brewery. The beer is available on draft, in cases and in kegs in limited quantities at the tasting room. It will hit retailers this weekend or early next week.
Thirsty Dog Pumpkin Ale is one of the last, if not the last, pumpkin beer to hit the market. "Last but not least," co-owner John Najeway said.
There's a reason for the late release. Thirsty Dog uses fresh pumpkins grown on farms in Portage County, where Najeway lives. The brewery can't start making the beer until the pumpkins are ready.
"It's always the freshest ingredients, all grown locally," Najeway said.
Pumpkin Ale, which is 5.5 percent alcohol by volume, contains five varieties of squash and pumpkin, along with honey and cloves. "It gives it a nice creamy pumpkin taste," he said.
The brewery also now has an app for android phones and iPhones. The free app, available at app stores, provides details about Thirsty Dog beer releases and events. "It's just another way to take Thirsty Dog on the go with you," Najeway said.

Mani Friday: Elizabeth and James Nirvana
Happy Mani Friday! Today's mani was inspired by our newest fragrance launches, Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black and Elizabeth and James Nirvana White, two exclusive scents designed exclusively with Sephora by Elizabeth and James designers Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen. Besides smelling infinitely chic (are we suprised?) the bottles are beautiful and luxe. The minute I saw them I knew there needed to be a mani.
I used Formula X in White Matter, Dark Matter, and Bond, Iconic Bond for the gold stripes.
What do you think? What are you rockin' on your nails this weekend? Show & Tell!
Todays nails, both Julep colors from my February Maven box, Octavia and Diamond Theory.
Butter London in...something...I don't know what because I think I accidentally took off the label lol! But such a pretty, shimmery color. Sephora by OPI's "Only Gold For Me" is on the ring finger
I thought this was a cute way to show tenderness and fashion all in one.
Dollish Polish in 'starlite' featuring my baby Rays tiny hand awwww lol

He Fits, But Should He Live In The House?
A pint sized horse in your living room can be quite a conversation piece. The fact that they can be "housebroken" to a certain extent also contributes to their desirability as a companion pet. However, the Miniature Horse is just that...a horse; and like their larger cousins, they thrive out of doors. So, even if your landlord would agree to such an unlikely pet, if you are an apartment dweller it would probably be best for you to get a cat or small dog instead.
The beauty of owning a mini is that it is not necessary to have a lot of acreage to keep one healthy and happy. If zoning permits, a miniature horse can do quite well in a large backyard where it can be turned out all the time, or if kept in a stall can be turned out for a few hours of daily exercise. A three sided walk-out barn for shelter from inclement weather is ideal.
A typical horse stall will work for your miniature horse as long as you modify it to meet his needs. Lower grain buckets, hay racks, and water troughs will be a must. Then too, if his stall is equipped with a hanging door, it may need to be lowered to keep your little escape artist in. Be sure that he can look over the partitions so that he can receive sufficient airflow since an open barn with plenty of air circulation is essential to good health.
While most horse fencing will work well for minis, be sure and check your fence line for any spots where a small horse might squeeze through or get his hoof caught. Since miniatures, like all horses, are a herd animal they thrive best when they are kept with at least one friend and if introduced properly can be penned with larger horses, goats, or other animals.
So, while your mini may fit quite nicely in your house, for his benefit please consider letting him be a horse...at least most of the time.

The PowerBoat Guide had this to say:
For years, Sea-Ray has dominated the market for mid-cabin express cruisers with their state-of-the-art styling and innovative features. The introduction in 1995 of the 370 Sundancer was yet another of the companys evolving series of Sundancer models, each a little nicer than the last, and each a little more expensive. Built on a fully-cored hull, the Sundancers interior seems unusually spacious, perhaps because the aft stateroom--with its U-shaped settee and removable table--is wide open to the main cabin. A sliding privacy door closes off the forward stateroom by night, and the salon sofa converts to a double bed for extra guests. This is, in fact, a very well executed layout, and the built-in breakfest bar, faux granited countertops, and sculptured overhead panels are worthy of note. Topside the 370s cockpit can easily handle a crowd, and a wet bar with sink, cooler, trash bin, and cutting board were standard. Additional features include an underwater exhaust system, an distinctive two-tier swim platform, good engine access, and very secure sidedecks.

OK, OK, I know we've already talked about one *Gossip Girl *star today. But how could I ignore Leighton Meester's cute little line of bright blue eyeliner, I ask you?
*The closeup:
Bam--blue! A sneak attack!
It's maybe not the most sophisticated eye look ever, but it's spunky and bright and fun. And she wore this to the Teen Choice Awards so it was very occasion-appropriate. Me? I'd wear it out dancing with my girlfriends.
You could recreate it with a liquid blue liner if you've got one--the sparkly beige on top would be optional. No blue on hand? Here are a few color suggestions:

Aw, shucks.
Workfront was recently ranked as the number one online project management system by independent reviewer Top Ten Reviews.
Receiving a score of 9.75 (out of a possible 10), Workfront earned the Gold Award as well as an Excellence Award, and you can be sure we're all walking around with gold stars on our foreheads, here in our Silicon Slopes office.
We always knew we had a gold-star system on our hands. (How? Because we actually use the system every single day to manage our own complex projects and tasks, throughout the entire lifecycle of work.) Still, it's nice when independent reviewers recognize that, too.
Here are a few highlights from the review:
"Workfront is by far one of the easiest to use systems and yet it is not short on features and professional services. Many PMOs, IT Teams and marketing teams rely on it to help them increase visibility, improve production and grow revenue opportunities."
"Workfront project management solution is growing quickly with a nearly 50% year-over-year subscription growth and for good reason. Workfront puts a lot of effort into continually improving its product and is quite noticeably one of easiest to use, in fact it ranked the easiest to use by our team members testers."
"While this project management solution supports traditional PM methodologies, it excels in what we call 'sideways' communications, meaning rather than having just a top-down approach to managing projects it supports the way many modern teams now work by facilitating peer-to-peer collaboration. It includes social media style tools for transparent, project focused communications and technologies for interacting with internal and external stakeholders."
"Workfront provides the perfect balance between function and ease-of-use. It is a quick growing company that continues to evolve its product and add education specialists to be able to support its growing client base. It supports all types of PM methodologies and styles, provides a high level of visibility and includes advanced collaboration tools making it an excellent contender to add to your short list of prospects."
To read the entire verdict and see how Workfront compares to Clarizen, Genius Project, Project Insight, and others, visit Top Ten Reviews.
About Top Ten Reviews
Unlike many other software review websites, Top Ten Reviews is not a pay-for-placement publication. (You can read about the company's methodology here.) The company's mission is to provide "accurate, useful information about the products people want," using "trend research, objective testing and logical analysis" to rank products according to a proprietary weighted system.
Our reviews are organized by product type, and we distill the essence of each set of products into TTR's signature side-by-side comparison. This at-a-glance analysis compiles all the information that people need to know to make informed decisions between competing products.
A useful mission indeed, given the proliferation of cloud-based business software solutions on the market today. There are literally hundreds of options in the product management category alone—which makes this award even more meaningful. Well done, team.

First there was comic world legend Stan Lee claiming in July he would produce the "world's first" Chinese superhero.
Now the company that owns the largest back catalogue of Chinese cinematic classics says it wants to go one better and produce a whole stable of Chinese superheroes.
The Hong Kong-based Celestial Pictures group has announced it is expanding into the online gaming market and that it will plumb its stocks of some of Chinese cinema's greatest productions for inspiration.
First up has been the release this past week of the My Kingdom Game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, which has been made available for free on the company's website.
That game is based on an upcoming film - the 70 million yuan (7.6 million euros) budgeted actioner My Kingdom, which stars mainland Chinese idols Wu Chun and Han Geng and is set for release in September.
While Celestial has co-produced that epic, it owns outright 760 films from the legendary Shaw Brothers studio, famous for launching the careers of the likes of Jackie Chan, and the company says it has established a department specifically tasked with creating animated characters based on "100 heroes" from those films.
A company spokesman said the characters would be similar to Marvel comic stars Spiderman and the Hulk.
"We are creating a universe in which they all interact. It's like a Shaw universe. No one has seen this before," a Celestial spokesman told the South China Morning Post newspaper.
Celestial says it is currently working with a company in the United States as it devises both American and Asian-style animation for its games and that it hopes to release between one and five games each year.
Closer to its original business, Celestial is apparently also considering remakes of a selection of Shaw Brothers classics, among them Come Drink with Me, One-Armed Swordsman and Five Deadly Venoms.
The company is also exploring the world of high-definition formats - of the 760 Shaw Brothers titles Celestial remastered, 133 are now available in HK, and work is beginning on adding a further 217 films to that selection.
