The closer your two shapes, the easier the transition between them. If you have many complicated shapes involved in the tween, you may end up with some odd looking shapes in between. Shape Hints will help! Shape hints allow you to decide how the shapes will morph by placing hint markers at the beginning and ending shapes.
Click on the first keyframe of a shape tween. Select Modify > Shape > Add Shape Hint. A small letter will be placed on the stage. The placement of this shape is important. Place it at a spot you want to control. Then, click the next keyframe and reposition the small letter at the end where you wish the beginning to morph to. The hints guide the way the shapes morph. Keep in mind, more is not always better. You will want to test after each placement as each placement will affect the outcome.

Architecture of Independence – African Modernism
In the late 1950s and stretching into the 1960s, more than 30 African countries became independent. Hungry for buildings to reflect their new identities as confident, free nations, they turned to modernism. An exhibition currently showing at New York's Center for Architecture, 'Architecture of Independence', traces this movement through images and artefacts.

The England-Scotland international could return to the calendar in 2010. Officials at the English FA and their Scottish counterparts in Glasgow are keen to revive the match, the oldest in the game, which was first played in Glasgow in 1872.
The two FAs have been discussing the rebirth of the fixture for several years and the Scottish FA's chief executive, Gordon Smith, said yesterday that he had had talks with his FA counterpart Brian Barwick.
"We've had discussions about resurrecting the games and it's definitely back on," Smith said. "It might be 2010 before we get a game. The idea would be to establish some sort of relationship for one-off games or even have them bi-annually."
Adrian Bevington, the English FA's director of communications, added: "There is certainly a desire on our part to find a suitable date to arrange a fixture with Scotland in the future. We were ready to host Scotland next month but unfortunately they were unable to take up that fixture."
England and Scotland met 110 times between 1872 and 1999. England won 45 matches and Scotland 41, with 24 matches drawn.
l The board of Watford have confirmed that they have received "a tentative approach" from a party interested in taking over the Championship club. Reports had linked overseas investors with a move to take control at Vicarage Road but the club insist that no formal offer has been made.

It's become increasingly difficult for leftists and feminists to critique certain ideas and groups, even when those groups put forth misogynist ideas, such as far-right Islamic groups. At the same time, we're dealing with figures like Donald Trump and his followers, who are promoting ignorant, dangerous, and racist arguments against Muslims as a whole, homogenizing Muslim people in a misinformed and damaging way.
Maryam Namazie is an atheist, a leftist, a feminist, a critic of Islamic extremism, and co-founder of the British Council of Ex-Muslims, yet she is routinely attacked and no-platformed — not only by Islamic groups, but by feminists and leftists, who call her Islamophobic.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Namazie about her critiques, as well as the Paris attacks, the New Years Eve assaults in Cologne, Charlie Hebdo, and the trend of no-platforming controversial figures.

No facilities and a uneven muddy site. The E/W/S access was fine. The worst part was the mile of one-lane road that has two-way traffic! If two campers met in the middle someone would need to back out as turning around is not possible. We didn't notice any signs that warned you about a very narrow road ahead. If you have a large RV I strongly recommend that you don't choose this park. - Deanbob

We found the park adequate and quiet for an overnighter. The sight required a bit of leveling but not much. We had a pull thru. The grass was nicely mowed and the area clean. The worst part is the mile of one-lane road that has two-way traffic! The signs were helpful because we felt that we must surely have taken a wrong turn. There is also a steep gravel drive that you should not stop on until you reach the top. Once there, the set up is easy and the owner very nice. He also has firewood for sale. - Lula1943

Park is located just off I-64 near Beckley. There is a narrow entrance road that winds about a mile to the park entrance. This is a great place to stay for the night if you are on the road and just want a place with full hookup and to get a good night's sleep. Campground is quiet and there are gravel sites. There are no amenities and most of the campers are workers at a nearby project. Price posted for a 30 amp site is $25.00. Even though this is a member of Good Sam Club parks, you won't get a discount. 50 amps are $30. You will be told that the $25 includes the discount! Gentleman who runs the place is pleasant. - urlookingood

OK place to spend a couple of days in the Buckley area. This is a black top parking lot with 20 and 30 amp electric, sewer and water hook up. Be sure to check the electric as I found miswired plugs and some of the 20 amp outlets were dead. We stayed 3 nights and had no problems. - wb2qbq

This "RV park" is really a trailer park with a few RV hookups. The redeeming thing about it is the fact that it is easy access on/off of I-77/I-64 in Beckley, WV. It sits at the top of a big hill with a winding road getting up to it, but my 37' 5th wheel made the short trip without any problem. The park is very small, and is mainly filled with permanent campers, but they found space for us. The sites are full-hookup with 50-amp power, water and electric. Don't look for anything fancy, because it's not here, but it is a convenient location and the owners are extremely friendly. We will use this campground again when we find ourselves in this area (we travel full time). Much more accessible than Lake Stephens (though Lake Stephens is much nicer) and much nicer than the Raleigh County Armory (though the Armory may be a little more accessible). - RGVBaptist.com

One of the newest state parks in WV system, this park is a gem. We pulled into a pull through for one nite and had water and electricity close to the nicest shower house we've seen in our 2 years on the road. Lots of trees but we chose a spot in open for satellite service. Verizon worked well. Would definitely return if traveling across state. - smitty12

We had one of the biggest sites in the park, but it was not very level. Reason being that most of the sites are small and getting level would be a problem with a large motorhome. The park itself is very nice and well kept. The highway coming into the park resulted in a few miles of dodging overhanging tree limbs, some of which I couldn't miss. Also, the access road coming in from I-64 is very steep and curvy, so be very careful, but it is doable. - Tarheel

We stayed her for 2 nights over Labor Day weekend. We were in WV from NC for some off-road riding at Burning Rock Adventure Park. The Burning Rock Campground was full so I did a search of nearby campgrounds and this place came up. It was only an easy 20 minutes away. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings and the large trees providing great share. Attendant that checked us in was very pleasant and helpful. The roads to the campground in was narrow but we had no problems navigating with our 55 long feet trailer pickup combination. The turn in was sharp but plenty of room to maneuver. The hill was a hill but it was short and not as bad as expected. Friday night of Labor Day the park was about half full. We would stay here again. The mine are looked interesting but we were not around during operating hours. - upontheridge

This cash only, 17-site campground is part of a community run park. There is an exhibition coal mine and miners village as part of the same park a short walk from the campground. The coal mine runs underneath the park and campground. We arrived just at night fall and got the last campsite. They only have staff on-site between 6-9:30 at night. Arrive earlier and you need to check in at the exhibition coal mine store. The unused campsites are chained off and ours was unlocked for us as we checked in. Our site was not level at all. You drive through town to get to the campground. The final roads are narrow, and a previous reviewer was correct, there is a sharp right turn to get to the campground road. Be careful not to take out the poorly placed telephone pole on the corner. - ShoreXplorers

This place could be so nice! They have over 2000 acres on a lake but chose to stack a hundred or so RV sites right on top of each other. There is room to put your awning out but just barely. Our 40' MH was hanging out in the road on both ends and our site was one of the larger ones. Sites are so small, the fire "pads" are across the street from your campsite. You have to sit in the road or on a narrow piece of turf to enjoy a camp fire. You do have a concrete patio but they are located such that they aren't much use unless you have a small camper.
There are several seasonal campers here and of course they have the best sights with lake view all tied up. You can get one over the air tv station out of Oakhill and satellite is marginal depending on your site location. We got some satellite service with our tailgater but never could pick up locals. Verizon service is limited with our phones on "extended" at all times. No data service even with our Wilson booster. There are 2 wifi antennas at either end of the park and if you are parked in the middle your service is marginal and in and out. Guess it asking to much to put a third antenna in the middle of the park. The drive to this place is about 9 miles down a twisting mountain road so its not in a good location for an overnight stop. The prices are way to high for what you get here. Look elsewhere. - Pjoe

We stopped here for 1 night on our way home. It was more than we expected. We had a nice level pull-thru site away from the long term residents. In nearby part of the campground there were a number of campers that were long term. They had their toys and their kid's toys and they were all enjoying each others company. We were away from that but they paid their money and enjoyed the camping and the scenery just as much as we enjoyed it. It is a nice peaceful out of the way spot. It is easy to get into and out of. There was an issue with hot water; one of our party checked on it and thought there was none. We bathed in the RV, but a later check showed there was hot water. Perhaps they turn it off in the slack period of midday. Perhaps there was a problem and someone fixed it. We would camp here again if we are in the area. It is a nice peaceful spot that my wife liked very much. - jwc47031

We used this campground for an overnight. This is the land of hills and twisting mountain roads, which we knew, but this wasn't a good choice. First, it is 9 miles from I-77 to the entrance to the park, too many narrow and twisting miles to traverse with a trailer if it can be avoided. The entrance to the park comes up quickly and could be easily passed. On entering the park, the narrow twisting roads continue with ever tighter turns for another 4 miles or so and then drop steeply downhill into the campground. There is a flat, shaded tenting area along with some nice looking cabins at this level near the office, but that is where 'nice' seems to end. Leaving the office, there is another dive downhill into a wide open treeless field of 100 RV sites, mostly filled with seasonal RV campers. The RVs are parked literally shoulder to shoulder and there is nowhere to park a pull vehicle on one's site. Awnings and slideouts protrude into the neighboring sites and there is barely room to walk between RVs. The city of Beckley runs this campground and the locals use it as their summer seasonal campground to have access to Lake Stephens. Sites for transients like us are scattered among the seasonals. We had to drive up a road with cars parked on both sides, through a single, narrow lane up the middle. We then had to make a tight right turn into our site while avoiding cars in front, behind and on both sides of us, not an easy task with a truck and a 31' trailer. We also had to miss a yellow marker post in the ground, the electric post for our site and a large piece of road equipment parked just behind the electric post. Our site had just been dug up for some reason (hence the equipment) and was covered with loose, deep gravel. Once we threaded the needle to get in and position the trailer to open our slideout (no slideout = no bathroom), the back end of the trailer was hanging over the back road edge and the truck was hanging well into the road in the front, too far to leave the truck hitched as we'd planned. This is what is advertised as 'drive through'. We had no choice but to unhitch and park on the road behind our trailer, just like everyone else. The loose gravel was pitched seriously downhill on one side and leveling was a nightmare. Leveling boards just sank. Let's just say we had no trouble rolling onto our right sides during the night. In the morning, our camper had sunk so far down in the loose gravel that it was the devil to lift it back up onto the hitch and get out. Luckily we had 4 wheel drive. Just before we finished putting away our hoses and electric, a man in a truck stopped and nicely told us someone would soon come to remove the road equipment. The man was genuinely surprised to hear me say not to move it on our account as we were leaving. Wouldn't it have been nice of them to have moved the equipment before we arrived, knowing they were renting out the site for the night? Per the signs posted, it sounded like we were expected to back out of our site, past all of those parked cars, the electric post, the yellow marker pole and the road machinery again, instead of driving forward. It seems the road in front of the truck was noted as intended only for children to ride their bikes. Not going to happen. It was early Sunday morning, no children in sight – we drove forward and left. We will not be returning. If you find yourself in the area, try the tiny Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine Campground on the East side of I-77. It is just a few miles on relatively straight and not too hilly roads. The entrance to the campground is up a severely steep hill, but the entire town is hilly and you just will have to negotiate hills somewhere here. Once on top, you'll find about 15 or so very quiet, shady and relatively long sites where you'll have no trouble finding space for both your camper and tow vehicle. Oh, and spend some time at the Exhibition Mine, closed in 1910, but a fascinating look at the life of mining towns. - khorne

Site 29, level, woody, which means no grass, which means mostly gravel/dirt, good spacing. Bathroom and showers old and run down, clean but yucky-looking. We like to stay on water, or at least have a view of the water. I'm finding I can't trust the campground maps, or descriptions. The only spots on the water have no hook ups. Nice gift shop in office. No Air TV, had cell service (AT&T), WiFi only available in office, which is over a mile from campsites. - 48 State Goal

Campground was lovely although the roads coming in from the highway are steep and have sharp curves. I dragged the hitch and bars several times. The fire pits at several sites I looked at were full of trash from the previous occupants, and I was getting there right at dusk just before the office closed. There is a nice walking path along the river but it is also full of trash, including evidence of illegal fishing (bottles, line and plastic soda lids) that are a hazard to all animals. They need to do a big cleanup here and not just mow the grass. - zooinacan

We did not stay here but drove through the campground in our 37' 5th wheel. The road in was very windy. We made it OK but decided we probably wouldn't do it again. The sites seemed short for a larger rig. There is electric hookup, but the water is at spigots throughout the campground. Other than that it's a pretty campground, had some water access, had nice shady sites, and seemed quiet. I'm not sure what the nightly rate is because we didn't stay there. - CindyW

Stayed in a electric only site. Camp ranger greeted us and was very helpful, even pointing out what to see in the park.
Our site was large enough for the MH and towed. It was level and paved. Sites are spread out and private. Showers were clean, with massage heads and lots of hot water. Didn't use the laundry.
A great place, wish we could have stayed longer. - Brian & Corky

Road to the Park is off the Toll road and was signed well. No one at the office, only phone number, parked in our reservation spot and called. They came later with local info. Area is quiet and plenty of room. We were put in a full hook-up spot we didn't know was available, great since we were staying 8 days. Okay laundry, but 2 dryers out-of-order. - gosee

Site was pretty private and had plenty of room, easy to back into and pretty level. Bath house was pretty dated and not kept very clean although the shower was good size and private. One toilet in the ladies room was broken and not repaired for the 10 days we were there. Has some Verizon service, no AT&T and no OTA tv although we got good dish network on site 6. The camp ground WIFI was very good. Park was very quite on weekdays but got pretty crowded on the weekend. Very easy access from I77. - Crottys

What a beautiful park! It covers 4,050 acres through the beautiful Bluestone River Gorge. The park got its name from a common, local, shrub: pipestem also known as narrowleaf meadowsweet, historically used for making pipe stems. There are 2 lodges in the park, one has a large conference center, and the other is only accessible by an aerial tramway to the bottom of the gorge. In addition to an RV park, there are 26 fully equipped wood cabins, and an area set aside strictly for tent camping. There's not only a par-3 golf course, there's also a championship golf course on the property. Several restaurants are onsite at both lodges; horse stables, a nature center, hiking paths, cross country ski trails, and other recreational activities are available. The nature center, featuring displays of native plants and animals, also includes the Harris Homestead, a reconstructed 1900s period historic house museum and meat house. An amphitheater is also available for concerts, storytelling, and local theater productions. As you can see, there's never a shortage of things to do here! A weekly schedule of events is posted so anyone in the park has an opportunity to take part in any of them. Many sites are shaded (some more than others). Our site (#29) was open but close to trees and adequate for our 32' fifth-wheel trailer. It was an angled back-in site with ample room for the back in maneuver. The campground restroom facilities were adequate and clean (we did not use showers). During our short 3-nught stay here we took advantage of some hiking trails, a motorcycle ride through some beautiful country and the "Wings of Wonder" presentation at the McKeever Lodge and Conference Center. Although our stay was short we made the most of what this clean, well-managed, park has to offer. - RVNomads-Cummings and goings

For a state park, this was probably one of the most beautiful parks we have stayed in. The camping area is really laid out to accommodate trailers & 5th wheels, & I think our 42 ft. class A was a little bit of an over-kill. Maneuvering the lanes to our spot was pretty tight, but manageable. Be aware that their pull-thrus are semi-circular, with water faucet & sewer tap on the driver's side & electric box on the passenger side (so had to reel out quite abit of electric line and pass under coach to the plug). Other than that, utilities were good.
The property was developed and opened around 1972 and is a little dated, but clean. The park must have been absolutely incredible for the time period. How the state legislation appropriated that much money for a state park of this magnitude is impressive.
Lots to do: horse back riding, golf, disc golf, hiking trails, tennis, swimming pool. The pity of all of this is that other than Pipestem, West Virginia does not have many other campgrounds that can comfortably accommodate large class A coaches, with full hook-ups & 50 amp service. West Virginia is a beautiful state, but missing out. - Smooth Running

Such a lovely park and so much to do. A family could enjoy an entire vacation here. Surrounded by mountains and tall trees. There is a Tram to take you down to the river. 3 Lodges and each has a dining room. There is golf, summing pool, lake for canoes/fishing. Our space was tight but we enjoyed it. Next time we will stay in a pull through rather than the back-in. - Newbet

We stayed at this park as Coast to Coast members. This place is terrible! Upon arrival, we couldn't find the office (there isn't one) and had to flag someone down after driving through the park to find the manager. This park has been taken over by permanent campers and it looks terrible. This is not a place for a traveler. Too many quads making too much noise and going too fast. We didn't see one dog on a leash. We will definitely not be returning to this place. If you need a place to spend the night, go into Pipestem where you will find other campgrounds. - Dan and Sarah

Beautiful wooded area in the southern part of WV. Lots, while without water, are deeply shaded in the wooded area. Restrooms/showers can be a hike if you don't get close and water from the shower heads in the women's restroom ran constantly all the time we were here keeping the bathroom floor constantly very wet. VERY few lots would take the big rigs and all wooded lots are a challenge to back into (uphill and turning). Swim area not within walking distance of the camping area, necessitating quite a drive. - cmclark

We were really disappointed with this WV state park. Most of the electric sites that we could fit in (35'), were quite unlevel and even with blocks and jacks, couldn't level it out. There was a dog at one of the campsites that barked for 4 hours, and nothing was done. There are some nice hiking trails, and a fun golf course. The pool is not close by and they charge $3 a person even if you are staying in the park. We will not go back. - Patti A

Though quite remote, this is a very nice, quiet park that's good for families. The campground is several miles away from the main park facilities (lodge, pool, golf course). There's a small playground, and hiking trails are in the campground area itself. Half the sites have electric (30 amp), and there are three pull-through sites. About half the sites are under trees and half in the open. None of the sites have water or sewer, so be prepared to fill up at the campground entrance before going to your site. There's a small playground, and hiking trails are in the campground area itself. Firewood is available at the small campground office/store. We found the staff to be very courteous and helpful. If you want a peaceful vacation, this is it! - ficodek

Good afternoon West Coast readers (and good evening to those of you on the East Coast). Today's busy slate of soccer action gave us plenty of news, results and tidbits to digest. Here are some of the highlights:
France spoils Beckham's 100th
Franck Ribery's 32nd minute penalty kick spoiled David Beckham's 100th appearance for England as France held on for a 1-0 victory in Paris. Beckham didn't just play, he actually started for Fabio Capello's squad, which managed just two shots on goal (France only had three).
Barbados edges Dominica, will now face USA
Dwayne Stanford came on as a second-half substitute and scored the only goal in Barbados' 1-0 victory and 2-1 series aggregate victory against Dominica on Wednesday. The win pushes Barbados into the second-round of CONCACAF qualifying against the United States. The first match of their home-and-home series will take place at Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. on June 15.
Grenada puts up 10 on U.S. Virgin Islands
There aren't many teams in the world that the Grenada national team is going to blow out, but it was made clear on Wednesday that the U.S. Virgin Islands is one of those teams. Grenada scored 10, yes 10 goals, to post a 10-0 victory in their World Cup qualifying match. Perhaps as shocking as the scoreline is the fact that New England midfielder Shalrie Joseph started for Grenada and didn't manage to score a goal.
John O'Brien (Surf)aces
For all of those fans wondering where former U.S. national team midfielder John O'Brien was, and when he was getting back on the field, there is finally some news on him. O'Brien is now playing beach soccer. No,it's not some new fly-by-night pro beach soccer league. He's just playing soccer for fun. It seems the stories about his retirement from professional soccer are true, unless his comeback is going to include some beach work (hey, it worked for Rocky). At the very least, I hope this tidbit puts to rest those questions about O'Brien.
Villa blast topples Italy
The day's best match-up featured Italy and Spain, which came down to one stunning strike from Valencia forward David Villa. His curling volley into the top corner of the net gave Spain the 1-0 victory. Here is Villa's goal:
David Berger
what a goal!
Love those exciting 1-0 games with sides out shooting their opponents 3-2 on shots on goal. If only they could crank out the goals like the U.S.! 🙂
thats amazing goal
Oh, please! The goalkeeper should have saved that!
(Yes, I'm being silly. Ridiculous goal!)
These are some of the potential questions you might get in next weeks Q&A section:
"Could you give an update on how John O'brien is doing in his beach soccer league?"
"Could JOB's beach soccer be called a 'pub-league' a la the MLS?"
"If John O'brien keeps training on the beach, is there any chance he'll come out of intl retirement to lead the US for WC2010?"
"Does Ajax have a beach soccer team, and futhermore a Beach Soccer academy for JOB's future offspring to train at?"
"Does this make the US a favorite for the beach soccer world cup?"
I guess that's it for John O'Brien. I don't want to hear anymore about him. It's just too sad.
tribalfootball.com – March 26, 2008
Chelsea ace Nicolas Anelka has opened the door to a move to the USA's MLS at the end of his current contract.
"I will be 32 at the end of my Chelsea contract. If they want to keep me I will stay," said the French ace.
"Otherwise you never know. I can move to USA or come back to Paris Saint Germain. It is an option I can't exclude."
andy b.
I'd put Anelka's chances of coming to the US at age 32 just barely ahead of John O'Brien's chances of playing in South Africa for the US. Barely.
I bet John O'Brien's dad is the coach of that beach soccer team… only way he'd get a starting spot.
BTW, since Michael Bradley started but didn't score in today's friendly, can we start accusing Pops Bradley of nepotism again?
hopefully Villa won't do that when we play Spain
nicolas anelka and anderson are the best in the prem!
Paul Lorinczi
Anelka? Didn't someone publish that he is like the all-time most expensive player with all the fees clubs have paid for his services?
I wouldn't want Anelka on my team. He has world class talent that never shows on the pitch, because he is lazy and only cares about himself. His career is a pathetic shadow of what it should have been when he broke onto the scene.
Talent-wise he'd dominate in MLS, of course. For a couple of weeks, until he demanded a raise to $10 mil a yeah followed shortly by a demand of a transfer.
Nice shot. Good luck at Derby next season.
hope solo
I would have saved that.
So for a guy so injury prone, beach soccer has got to be about the worst possible surface imaginable to be actively playing on. Who was the NFL star that ruined his career by twisting his knee all kinds of funny due to that surface merely catching a pass?
It's a shame that our sport is still so minor that a significant national team player could just disappear as JOB did for more than a year.
Sad end to a promising career. He was a very gifted player. Hope he has fun in the 'after life'.
You know, I still think he deserves better treatment from our nascent US soccer press than, "He's playing beach soccer." I got to see quite a few of O'Brien's games at Ajax and for a brief period of time he was, far and away, the most talented American to play the game. It just seems like his retirement, even at such a young age, should be treated with a bit of respect, especially since it seems directly related to injury and not a lack of talent. I'm one of those annoying people that keep asking the O'Brien question because if you had a chance to see him play in person, you'd want to know when you could see the next opportunity.
Make a comeback John!!! Red Bull could use you and your cultured left peg. Of course we'd expect your contract to be incentive laden for playing time.
As for the NFL player, I believe you're referring to Robert Edwards, former Georgia Tailback.
Joe D.
that highlight fails to show Cannavaro's AWFUL clearance that led to that volley…that friggin idiot
for those of you that didn't see it, the ball was played in the air into the box…..which is useless for Spain since they have the shortest players ever….so Cannavaro was alone at maybe 10 yards from goal….he heads the ball to clear it, but clears it to the top of the box where Villa is standing and he blasts that ridiculous volley…so Cannavaro, i guess, deserves an assist on that goal
overall it was an entertaining game. the tide turned at the half when the subs were made. italy dominated the first half, and probably should have scored a goal or two….casillas came up big at times, and a goal was disallowed. then toni was taken out at the half for borriello, and italy was not connecting on their crosses. Spain took control in the second half, and villa was giving barzagli all sorts of problems on the left side (right side of the D). buffon came up big on probably 3-4 times in the 2nd half. hell, he almost reached that one Villa strike too…..he's ridiculous!
It was a facetious remark poking fun at the stupidity of all the questions people have asked about JOB over the years.
Honestly, the only one I intended to be a good laugher is the 'offspring' line, and I guessed I missed the mark on that one.
Honduras beat Colombia 2-1 I know most of you really dont care but the reason I brang this up is because I saw the thrashing USA gave Poland and I heard Mexico barely got by ghana with a pk that was given to them this is the 3rd SA team Honduras has beaten ecuador,paraguay, and now colombia if mexico continues their poor play I cant help but be so damn optimistic that Honduras wins atleast one of the games against them in WCQ later this year especially since were in the Concacaf group of death with jamaica and costa rica, does anyone know who the US will face in group comp ?
I thought your post was hilarious! I'm talking about the press giving JOB some retirement love. Ask the guy if he has retired from non-beach soccer and if he has, do a nice piece on his career. It's what he deserves, since it will be so easy for people to forget that he was ever there, playing at the highest level and representing the US.
Sounder for Life
I bet O'Brien is in training. This from the front page of ussoccer.com: http://www.ussoccer.com/articles/viewArticle.jsp_5799943.html
Glad France & Spain won and I can't wait until we play Spain.
Fantastic goal. The kind you dream about scoring when you are practicing your volleys.
Still, the goalie (was that Buffon?) nearly got to it. That would have been almost(but not quite) on par with Gordon Bank's save from Pele in the 1970 World Cup.

I distinctly remember the first time I picked up an injured rabbit. The shrill screams that followed (the rabbit's and then mine!) left a lasting impression. And without doubt, each young coyote, fox or bobcat that captures its first warm meal quickly makes the association between those screams and the protein they represent.
There are several theories on why prey species scream when in the clutches of a predator. The obvious pain and terror associated with being eaten alive immediately jump to mind, but there might be underlying, more altruistic or territorial reasons for this behavior. Or it might be a final strategy—one of surprise—for defense and escape.
Gerry Blair, one of the all-time predator hunting greats, believes that prey animals, when they get a close-up look at the dental work of canines and felines or the equally dreaded beak and talon of flying raptors, articulate their terror as a response to the inevitable fact that they are about to be killed and eaten.
In the case of raptors, Gerry explains that, "The prey is located from aloft. The critter swoops, stoops or soars to the target, taking hold with its razor-sharp talons, which encircle the rabbit's ribcage. Death is by suffocation. The hunter holds tight and the rabbit screams, losing a bit of air. The talons tighten a bit further to compress the lungs. Scream. Tighten. The process might take a minute or more, substantially longer if the hold is not precise. During all of that time, as air allows, the rabbit screams piteously."
And that, Gerry says, is key to why other predators arrive on the scene.
"Other predators within hearing range hustle in to have a look, hoping to steal the meal," he says. "A hungry coyote, fox or bobcat has no conscience. Each is likely to kick a red-tailed hawk's butt bad and take away his lunch. A hawk that objects too much is likely to join the cottontail within the belly of the beast."
According to Gerry's explanation, the scream signals a dinner-bell response. If the predator is high on the food chain and its hunting style is that of a hard-charger, such as a coyote, the response will typically be immediate and aggressive. With little fear that an even larger predator will be at the other end of the scream, these animals have the luxury of confidence.Red and gray foxes, and even bobcats, must exercise more caution when approaching what might turn out to be a larger predator on a kill. A careless fox, for instance, might end up as a coyote's dessert.
Altruism refers to the selfless concern for the welfare of others. Many people believe that animals scream to warn others of their kind that danger is at hand and to get away while the getting is good. This, they say, is a conditioned response that puts the good of the community above the well-being of the individual. Thus, this theory would suggest, the rabbit that has fallen victim to the hawk screams to warn other rabbits without concern about its own inevitable undoing.
But the bottom line is the same: To every predator within earshot, the screaming translates into an opportunity for a meal.
One explanation of the scream response holds that prey animals scream to attract other predators! While this notion might seem odd at first consideration, the reasoning behind this hypothesis provokes some thought.
Could it be that a rabbit's scream is a conditioned response to attract other predators? No experiments have been conducted to support this theory, but it seems reasonable that there could be a correlation.
A Natural Response
For whatever reason prey animals scream when in the clutches of a predator, the result is predictable: Other predators respond.
And that, my friends, is why the biology of those conditioned responses is important to us. Because, you see, there are really three conditioned responses at work and they define the very nature of our sport. The rabbit is conditioned to scream when attacked by a predator. The predator is conditioned to respond to those screams in hopes of securing a meal. And you and I are conditioned to take advantage of this relationship—to hide in the bush pretending to be a coyote's supper in hopes of calling predators sure-kill close.

Canada says plans to set up market for carbon
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada on Wednesday unveiled plans for a national carbon market that it said would help cut emissions of greenhouse gases by making it more attractive to invest in clean energy projects.
Ottawa said the first major step would be to put a price on carbon, and Environment Minister Jim Prentice said it would be up to markets to set that price.
The announcement is an important step for the minority Conservative government, which opponents regularly accuse of not doing enough to protect the environment.
A key element of the market is a set of rules for carbon offset credits, which will come into force on Jan 1, 2011.
"The offset system will be a key part of our overall commitment. It is intended to generate real reductions on greenhouse emissions," Prentice said in a speech in Ottawa.
Under the rules, companies and individuals would receive the credits for investing in clean energy projects like wind turbines and could sell those credits to enterprises that cannot meet targets for cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
Planting new forests or capturing methane gas from landfills and turning it into a usable fuel could also be offset projects, Prentice said.
The offset system targets those parts of the economy that will not be covered by planned federal curbs on heavy industrial emitters of greenhouse gases. Continued...

Washington, Nov 14 : Researchers from University of Florida (UF) aerospace engineering laboratory are building a small satellite, which may hold the key to a future of easy access to outer space - one where sending satellites into orbit is as routine and inexpensive as shipping goods around the world.
Known as the "pico satellite", it is the first ever built at UF and may be the first orbiting spacecraft to be built in Florida, according to Peggy Evanich, director of space research programs at UF.
"Right now, the way satellites are built, they're all large, one-of-a-kind and very expensive," said Norman Fitz-Coy, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and the lead investigator on the project.
"Our idea is that you could mass produce these small satellites and launch 10 or 20 from a single launch vehicle," he added.
According to Fitz-Coy, present day satellites remain large, ranging in size from basketball to school bus proportions; expensive, with costs typically in the hundreds of millions to billions of dollars; and slowly hand-built as one-of-a-kind devices, rather than speedily mass produced.
Scientists and engineers now hope to change that legacy.
"There is a national push to make satellites smaller so that you can provide cheaper and more frequent access to space," said Fitz-Coy.
As part of that push, the National Science Foundation this fall created the Advanced Space Technologies Research and Engineering Center at the UF College of Engineering.
Headed by Fitz-Coy, the center will seek to develop "pico- and nano-class small satellites" that can be built and launched for as little as 100,000 dollars to 500,000 dollars, according to the NSF.
Fitz-Coy said that small satellites are not anticipated to totally replace larger ones, but rather to complement them by adding new capabilities.
For example, he said, "swarms" of small satellites could take multiple, distributed measurements or observations of weather phenomena, or the Earth's magnetic fields, providing a more comprehensive assessment than is possible with a single satellite.
"People are looking toward these to not totally replace the big satellites but to supplement what the big satellites are doing," he said.
The UF satellite would be launched in 2009, likely aboard an unmanned NASA rocket carrying other payloads as well.
The satellite will fly at an altitude of between 600 and 650 kilometers, or from 373 to 404 miles, and will remain in orbit for several years, according to Fitz-Coy.

THE "Find Your Story" contest was organised by The Coffee Bean as part of activities in preparation for its "Let's Get Happy" campaign held at the Times Square on December 19, 2014.
The contest was also aired for four consecutive days on Kristal FM prior to the campaign date.
Four winners were selected during the time and they won themselves a set of Coffee Bean's Kaldi Beverage System.
The Coffee Bean grabbed the opportunity during the campaign to launch its latest model of Coffee Bean's Desto Beverage System to the public.
The management decided to continue the contest on the spot as part of the campaign activities.
A total of 50 participants joined the contest and after reviewing and assessing the entries, the Board of Judges – headed by Khairul Nidzam Abu Bakar, General Manager of The Coffee Bean – announced Chan Leang Seng as the winner. He won a Coffee Bean's Desto Beverage System.
Five different beverage capsules – comprising House of Brew (House), Chai Tea (Taj), Tropical Passion Tea (Butterfly), Butterscotch Toffee (Bus) and 10 per cent Kona Blend Brew (Volcano) – were used as a guide for participants to create a short story during the contest.
The Coffee Bean is giving a 20-per-cent discount for all BIBD cardholders when they purchase any of the Coffee Bean machines.
The offer will run from January 1, 2015 to February 28, 2015.

The overall game feels very glitchy. I can see though walls. The collisions with walls are off in weird ways. I think this game has potential as a retro niche but you need to fix the bugs. Keep at it and I'm sure it will become something great.
Works great, didn't run into any bugs personally. I never understood why this wasn't playable on an actual windows 95 computer, it looked so interesting as a kid.
Make the walls melt when you finish a level like the original did.
Brings me back to when I was 10 and would stare at the screensaver yelling when it would mess up. Executes the idea perfectly, makes me wonder why no one's done this before. It would be cool if you could change the textures, either per level or at the start, but 10/10 will get drunk and play again.
Neat test program. You could make a cool doom clone or something out of this.

Annie: Shopping with a guy??Mature
"Uh, do we have to?" Jake moans once again as we head out of the elevator. I look back at him.
"Yes, we do. Now come on" I say then push Lilianna in her pram out of the hotel. Jake follows and after a few minutes puts his arm round my waist then kisses my forehead.
"I bet we look like a little happy family" Jake whispers. I smile and lean into him. I no longer have to feel slightly guilty. Rosalita doesn't want me in a romantic interest anymore so I may as well let Jake have me.
I mean I want him as well but it was me who tried to hold back at first.... and failed but who cares. I can now commit totally and I think Jake has noticed. "Oh, there's a clothes shop. I want to buy something for Lilianna" I say smiling at Jake.
He nods then we go into the shop.
"That was a hell of a lot of shopping" Jake says shaking his head but smiling. I smile back and take another drink of my coke.
"Well, you better get to short long shopping trips if you're going to be with me" I say leaning on my elbows forward on the table. Jake smiles then leans in as well.
"I guess I will learn then" He says then kisses me. Its that moment Lilianna chooses to laugh. We pull back and look at her and I can't help laughing myself at her clapping her hands and smiling. Jake laughs as well.
"Seems she agrees with us being together" He says and takes my hand in his under the table. I smile and feel a warmth in my heart I've only had once before. From the moment Rosalita said 'I love you too' to the the moment when I realised she was with Helena emotionally as much as me.
"I'm glad she does" I say stroking the back of his hand with my thumb.

Getting behind the wheel of a vehicle often tests the agility of motorists.
While being aware of other drivers and watching for flying debris caused by dump trucks or other vehicles, drivers are forced to be alert at all times on the roadway.
Many dump trucks, tree, rock and trash haulers have signs on the back of their vehicles stating they are not responsible for any damages.
News 2 spoke with Nashville attorney Blair Durham who said signs posted on dump trucks, "protects them in some ways criminally. It does not protect them civilly regardless if there is a sign that says we are not responsible. Case law in Tennessee says they are responsible for damage."
Durham said if a driver is faced with car damage caused by a passing dump truck they should get the company's name and truck number if possible, as well as make note of the time and date the incident occurred.
"As far as property damage to you, they are responsible," he said.
Durham added it is also important to file a report and notify your insurance company as soon as possible after the incident.

If there's one thing a road playoff underdog can't do it's turn the ball over. Yet as the Texans trail the Ravens 17-13 at halftime, it's a pair of turnovers that have made the difference.
A 60-yard return from Danieal Manning on the opening kickoff gave the Texans an immediate boost, as the return helped set up a 40-yard field goal, giving rookie quarterback T.J. Yates a little cushion with which to work.
But while Houston's special teams provided the initial spark, it also proved the source of the game's initial blunder. Jacoby Jones, who caught 31 balls and a pair of touchdowns this season, failed to grasp a punt return, as he muffed the return and gave the Ravens the ball inside his team's 10-yard line. Third string tight end Kris Wilson caught a 1-yard touchdown strike from Joe Flacco three plays later to put the Ravens ahead 7-3.
Following a Baltimore field goal, Yates showed his first sign of inexperience under center. Trying to connect with receiver Andre Johnson on a pass late in the first quarter, Yates instead found Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb. Webb had held the inside position on Johnson's route the whole time, a simply had to put his hands up to force Houston's second turnover.
Yates' interception would also prove costly, as Flacco took advantage of the short field. He led the Ravens on a five-play drive which culminated with a touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin, pushing the home team's lead to 17-3.
Yet despite the deficit, the Texans settled down in the second quarter. Yates led the offense on drives of a 11 and 12 plays, each time coming away with points. Neil Rackers connected on a 33-yard field goal early in the quarter while running back Arian Foster, already with 95 yards on 15 carries, punched in a 1-yard touchdown to trim Baltimore's lead to 17-13 at the half.
The Ravens will receive the ball to start the third quarter, but here are a few more stats for the visiting Texans as they look for their first-ever AFC title game appearance.
* Even with the interception, Yates is not playing like a rookie. He is 9-of-18 for 85 yards, but is doing a nice job of managing the offense and complementing Foster's rushing attack.
* Johnson and Foster are tied with the team lead at four receptions, Johnson's good for 41 yards and Foster for 29.
* The Texans are winning the battle in the trenches. J.J. Watt and Brooks Reed each have sacks on Flacco, while Houston's offensive line has yet to allow Yates to be swallowed up by the Ravens' fearsome front seven.

Little known facts about bats
Joyce Park stashed this in Science
Stashed in: Best PandaWhale Posts, Science!, Gift Ideas!, Awesome, Poetry!, Science Too, Bats, Bats
In the poem called "Dream Song 63", John Berryman opined:
Bats have no bankers, and they do not drink
and cannot be arrested and pay no tax
and, in general, bats have it made.
Well, except for that whole white-nose syndrome thing that's causing them to go extinct... and also the fear and loathing they seem to arouse in most humans. But except for that noise, they have it made! Enjoy these photos and factoids of our only flying mammal.
Bats are 20% of all mammal species with 1220 known species of bat. Whoa.
Some of them are really groovy looking:
My day is made. My favorite stuffed animal. Its feet velcro together and so do its wings so it can hang it upside down pretty realistically in your office or wherever you want to share bat cuteness.
OMG. It seems my plush bat has appreciated GREATLY since I bought it at the Harn (http://www.harn.ufl.edu/store/ ) in 1996! I paid something like $16; it's now selling for hundreds!
And for nieces and nephews or your own spawn:
Bats at the Beach is a picture book by Brian Lies. The plot of the book is that bats get their beach gear to have fun under the moon. (The book was reviewed and declared "delightful.")
The message of the book is that bats are not bad. A portion of all copies sold went to Bat Conservation International.[1]
Bats hang upside down to conserve energy
If humans hung upside down from a tree for several hours, it wouldn't take long before they passed out. So, how do bats manage it?
For starters, human and bat circulatory systems are fundamentally different. Because our blood pumps in the direction of our brain, the stress of gravity transfers even more blood to the head when upside down. A bat's circulatory systems pumps the opposite way — away from its head. Also, while all mammals have valves in their veins that prevent blood from flowing backwards, bats possess these valves in their arteries, as well. All of these adaptations ensure that blood is evenly distributed throughout the bat's body.
It also just happens to be more energy efficient for bats to hang by their feet. As opposed to defying gravity and standing upright, no energy has to be expended while hanging due to the lightweight structure of their leg muscles and bones that were developed for flight.

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Tips/gear for women
Oct 3, 2009 at 9:38 am #1239869
I am new to backpacking and have learned a lot from reading BPL forums but would love some advise specifically for and from women backpackers.
Currently I'm looking for advise on clothing for late fall hiking. What do you wear while hiking and what do you use in camp (temps from 30's to 50's).
Also, what are your thoughts on creating a forum category specifically for advise and gear reviews for women.Oct 3, 2009 at 9:57 am #1532665

@dicentraLocale: PNW
Layers layers layers!
This is the max I start with, then shed down from there… A lot of it depends on the trip and weather (I'm in WA)
short sleeved shirt
long sleeved shirt
fleece or down vest
fleece jacket
rain coat
In camp I swap my socks out at night, so I have dry ones to sleep in. May or may not bring down booties for hanging around camp.
I'm all for a woman's specific forum. Backpacker.com has one. :)Oct 3, 2009 at 10:30 am #1532677
Thanks, I'll check out that forum also.
Which is your favorite down jacket or vest?Oct 3, 2009 at 10:40 am #1532680
Mark VerberBPL Member
@verberLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
A women's special forum sounds like a good idea.
I am not a women, but I asked wife and my daughter for suggestions. Their choices are fairly similar to mine. I have collected my general gear recommendation. The things where they differ from me (or thought something was particularly important):
- WARM socks, primaloft socks or down booties to sleep in. Feet get cold a lot easier than Mark.
- Liner gloves. Stay ahead of hands getting icy cold.
- Extra underwear
- Insulated Air Mattress… can sleep without hips hurting
- Good sleeping bag. My daughter likes a Montbell SS#3 down to around 30F and then adds her high loft clothing. My wife sleeps cold. She is good to 35F with a WM Versalite and then needs to add clohing
The packs they use aren't made anymore so can be of much help there. They like a light weight frame rather than frameless even when carrying <20lbs. Finding the right torso length and an appropriate hip belt was key.
Clothing Worn:
Smartwool light hiker socks
TNF Womens Supplex Convertible Pants
Sports Bra
Sunday Afternoon Hat
Clothing Carries:
Marmot Driclim Windshirt
Midweight Capeline tights and ls shirt
Extra warm socks (or booties)
Extra trail socks
Extra underwear
Patagonia Micro Puff Vest (weather down to ~35F) and then switch to a Patagonia Micro Puff Parka
If the Parka is coming typically a light fleece vest comes as well.
Heavy Fleece hat if below 35F
REI rain pants… when cooler and sure of rain
DriDucks Poncho
Mid-weight Liner Gloves
I run hot, they tend to run slightly cool. As a result they bring 2x the insulation I typically do.

@citystuckhikerLocale: Midwest
I'll speak for by girlfriend on this, since she is not a member of the forum.
In general, she takes at least one more torso layer than I do.
Head to toe:
Head: Marmot Powerstretch hat
Hands: Black Diamond Powerstretch gloves
Base layers: SS Wicking shirt and LS wicking shirt or merino wool pullover; also Capilene 2 leggings
Pants: REI convertible pants with good DWR
Socks: Smartwool Adrenaline mini-crews (x2)
Midlayers: Powerstretch fleece vest (if this was me, I would leave it at home – herein lies the extra layer)
Puffy: TNF Redpoint jacket or TNF down jacket (or both)
Hardshell: Arc'Teryx Alpha SL (GoreTex PacLite)
Thermarest Prolite 3, short
WM Ultralite, short (20 degree)
Pack: Granite Gear Vapor Ki. The hipbelt was key for her. She tried on Osprey Talon 44 and a GoLite Jam2 and Pinnacle and liked the full suspension.
We sleep in an Oware Double bivy under a CatTarp 2 or in a DoubleRainbow.Oct 5, 2009 at 6:35 am #1533047

@sbhikesLocale: Santa Barbara (Name: Diane)
I hike in late fall here in Southern California. I don't know if it's the same as where you live. Daytime temps would be around 70 and nighttime temps might be down to mid to upper 20s.
Hiking I wear:
– short or long sleeved knit shirt (can always roll up the – sleeves)
– long sleeved desert shirt
– long pants
Insulation to add when I get cold:
– Patagonia Houdini
– Patagonia down sweater (can use this like an extra blanket in bed, too)
– gloves
– fleece hat or balaclava
– extra dry socks for sleeping (I actually use a pair of fleece sleeves cut off a fleece sweater. I can use them as leg warmers, arm warmers or sleeping socks)
In camp I'll act like a lizard, finding patches of sun to sit in as long as possible. Once I start feeling cold, I jump in the sack. If I get too cold it's really hard to warm up, so better to get in my sleeping bag before that happens.Oct 7, 2009 at 8:35 pm #1534118

Mountain Hardware Powerstretch Zip T is a "tight" shirt.
Good Luck!Oct 8, 2009 at 3:00 am #1534174
Favorite down jacket is the patagonia down sweater — there are women's sizes. I prefer an XS in the men's 1/2 zip hoody for backpacking trips. It's a bit roomy but I can pull it on over everything else including a shell when I stop for lunch. Pull the hood up. Often sleep in it too. Note: this is a very light weight insulating piece — the "shell" is a thin nylon. The fabric is delicate. Also folds into its own zip pocket making an absolutely perfect down pillow. Comes in a jacket, vest and full zip hoody for women. Have the vest and the zip hoody as well. Many other manufacturers make a similar product. Have a couple weights of the Montbell down insulating jacket — I usually where these in my daily life — they are a very simple design and look nice as normal clothes but they are certainly trail worthy. They don't have any cinches or zips — makes them lighter. Note: there is a lot of variation in women's sizing. Patagonia tends to be a little trimmer and a little shorter in the women's technical gear. Arcteryx tends to fit a smaller person better than some. Northface and Mountain Hardware tend to be longer and run larger when it comes to their technical lines. Just a few of my observations. Osprey Ladies and Deuter SL packs tend to fit me well. Also, if you are small, don't ignore the kids clothing lines — I'm 5'5" and I do well in a lot of girl's stuff. Always try men's packs as well.Oct 8, 2009 at 3:07 am #1534175
Where?Oct 8, 2009 at 6:01 am #1534188
I live in NY (Brooklyn) so for now I'm hiking close to home (Catskills, Harriman, Hudson Highlands).
Thanks everybody for all of the specific suggestions and favorite items. I like to hear how different products fit and what works together. The other websites are good resources also but I know that the focus here is lightweight.
BTW, do any of you use down vests? I just look at them and think that they would be too warm for hiking and not warm enough for camp (because my arms would be too cold). Do they well work in combo with hoodie or fleece? The vest vs. jacket would keep the weight down.Oct 8, 2009 at 6:09 am #1534190
Actually, I guess I should have asked when, not if, you use a down vest because I see them listed on several of the posted gear lists.Oct 8, 2009 at 6:11 am #1534191
A little partial but check this out. http://www.patagonia.com/web/us/product/womens-down-sweater-vest?p=84627-0-763
One of my absolute faves — casual and trail. I wear it under a sweater or a fleece (Patagonia R2 maybe) usually. It's fitted but the arm holes are plenty big for movement. squishes into it's own pocket. — baseball size.
If I'm taking a down jacket for a trip, usually don't take a vest too.
Montbell has a similar one — think it's a bit less expensive, simpler design.Oct 8, 2009 at 6:22 am #1534195
Ryan, the owner of this site has written a wonderful, somewhat technical but readable book about how all this fits together from a lightweight standpoint. There is also much discussion on the subject of clothing and gear in Freedom of the Hills — a classic you will want to buy if you haven't. Both readily available on amazon.

As so many have mentioned: down! It is so warm in the cold.
But most of all I always have a light hat and gloves that I can wear even in my tent if super cold. (And still be able to cook with them on).
More than anything though is if you are slender and get cold easily that you bring enough easy to eat food along with small bags of sipping soups and hot drinks (keeping hydrated really helps!)
If you are the cold type down socks are worth every dollar you spend. A down jacket completes it. I also pack a base layer for underneath for my lower half and my top.
While many men rely on their sleeping bag to stay warm in fall/winter/spring in camp again, if you get cold it is worth the extra little weight to carry more clothing.Oct 8, 2009 at 6:50 am #1534206
What is your current wardrobe for a fall hike? And how do you feel about it? Comfortable? Too cold? Too warm? There's really no one solution. Just to start things off…
When it is 50, my preferred day walk outfit might be ultralight merino wool leggings covered by a thin nylon short. (Kiwi fashion) I like clothes I can do "gymnastics" in. I wear a neutral trail runner, light wool sock and often a very light little gaiter to keep the pebbles out (no pant leg to cover the top of my shoe). I do NOT like pants with hardware, belt loops, cargo pockets and I hate pants with zip off legs. If I do wear pants they must be very smooth around the waist, have stretch in them and a gusseted crotch. They must not leave an elastic mark on my skin. I must be able to do the splits in them. I love climbing tights and the like. I'm sure many people have a VERY different idea. On top a thin merino long sleeve half zip mock. Would bring a very thin wind jacket (wind resistant on the front and stretch material on the back) and probably that softball sized down vest in my pack. And a thin merino wool cap and merino liner gloves. I get cold especially after exerting myself.
I don't mean that as advice for you but just to demonstrate that different girls look for different things.Oct 8, 2009 at 7:00 am #1534210
This is at the bottom of Mount Whitney in May midday after a couple days out. It was still "winter conditions" higher on the mountain. It was quite warm when this picture was taken. I do not wear sunscreen on hikes — prefer to remain covered. This isn't my usual wool but Patagonia Cap 3 long underwear. I am wearing a light traditional leather boot here since I was prepared to use crampons. I did not encounter many people dressed like me.Oct 8, 2009 at 7:12 am #1534213

Sarah, do you carry a thermos to keep drinks and soups warm while hiking or stop and heat up water on the way. I've thought it would be nice to have a warm drink on the trail but wondered if it would be a pain to carry a container that would keep it warm.
I also realized very quickly on my last hike that I needed gloves and a hat (which of course I didn't have but am soon getting).Oct 8, 2009 at 1:37 pm #1534358
If I'm even aware of the pants, they are NOs.Oct 8, 2009 at 1:41 pm #1534360

I usually heat up water as needed but in winter I will carry an insulated mug and make a big jug of tea before leaving camp. That way I can sip away :-)Oct 8, 2009 at 1:47 pm #1534363

Uhuru is a fresh Brooklyn based company that we recently stumbled upon. They work with eco friendly products and materials, transforming them into unique designs. Their Antique Mod Mirror is a diamond in the rough. The Mirror measures 80 inches in height and features remarkable yet delicate antiqued contours that complete the look.
The mirror balances weight and softness beautifully. The Antiqued Mod Mirror is available in a blackened steel or stainless steel frame.

petrol so we're thinking it was a Walmart error not a card error.
Still, it added half an hour to our trip. Plus we overshot our
destination as we got engrossed in a conversation with Josh about
immigration and Muslims and missed our turn off so add another 15
minutes there too. All in all, a driving and messy day! But the RV

A lot of the time it was raining so hard you had trouble seeing the tail lights of the vehicle in front of you. Surprisingly, Wendell drove very well and didn't scare me more than a half dozen times. No yelling today.

In Ocean Springs we enjoyed a visit to the Walter Anderson Museum of Art; a fascinating insight into his life and paintings portrayed by a short film. All the exhibits are originals including his 'Little Room', his refuge in the family house which had been kept locked and his family discovered only after his death. D�j� vu kicked in as ...

You set your own schedule and agenda for each day without having to establish agreement with your travel partner(s). When one person is "ready to go", he/she doesn't have to wait for the other(s).

Teenage girls ate the margherita pizza and it seemed to be ok. I ate the seafood pizza, which was really wetty. Wife ate pasta bolognese and that was tasteless. It seemed that the local people... More
