What Good Are Hiking Poles?
Double hiking poles, held like ski poles, are becoming a common sight on the trail. Do they really make hiking easier?
Or, with their added weight, will they help you intensify your workout and burn more calories?
Researchers at Oklahoma State University tested these poles, not with vigorous arm swinging on a flat surface (which another study found increased exertion), but as a prop in walking uphill.
Twenty men were fitted with 33-lb (15 kg) frame backpacks, and walked uphill at 1 ½ mph at a gradually increasing grade for 5 minutes, then continued for 10 more minutes at a peak grade of 25 percent.
Whether they used hiking poles or not had no significant effect on their heart rate, breathing, oxygen consumption, or calories burned.
It did, however, affect the hikers' perceived exertion (RPE), which was lower when using hiking poles, especially towards the end of the 15-minute hike.
The stabilizing effect of the poles may have made the hiking seem more comfortable and therefore, easier, even though physiologically, exertion was the same.

Kind of a limited study. Where's the downhill testing?Jun 9, 2009 at 4:04 pm #1507053
Jim MacDiarmidBPL Member
What about your knees? Does the study mention whether or not hiking poles take stress off your knees, especially going downhill? That was my thinking in getting trekking poles.
When I use my poles, I feel like I can go longer, because I can shift back and forth between how much I just rely on my legs and using my poles more to propel myself uphill. Of course, this is just a 'feeling', and could be all in my head.Jun 9, 2009 at 4:08 pm #1507054
David UreMember
This is the worst study I have ever seen. You are correct, no downhill testing which is where they come in handy for me. What about stream crossings or using them with glacier travel….I could go on.
Who pays for these studies?Jun 9, 2009 at 4:12 pm #1507055
Chris WBPL Member
@simplespiritLocale: .
I concur with both of you. I think most of us use them to save knee stress downhill and for help with agility. I use mine some when I power up hills too but I think I'm pretty unique in that I speed up when I see a hill. I tend to get yelled at for it though.Jun 9, 2009 at 4:13 pm #1507057

One group burned more calories with their upper body than the other group.
Both groups burned the same amount of calories.
Seems like one group might be feeling better because they have legs which have performed less work.Jun 9, 2009 at 4:37 pm #1507058

@cbertLocale: N. California
i think it results in a more even distribution of work
a 200lb quadruped travels faster and easier than a 200lb biped – but the calories required to move a 200lb mass from point a to point b are the same
i sometimes use no pole, sometimes one staff, sometimes two poles & my experience seems to match up – the overall effort doesn't seem less, but my legs are definitely less impacted when i use the staff or the poles & the downhill jarring is significantly reducedJun 9, 2009 at 5:04 pm #1507062

Good points all.
So let me get this straight, according to this study the poles that I use to-
Power up hills
Come down steep hills
Cross streams
Save my butt when I stumble
Support my shelter
Hold my bivy hood off of my face when there is no over-head tie offs
Dig cat holes
has no metabolic cost for their use—cool!
Also I don't think they had sub 4oz poles in 2000.Jun 9, 2009 at 5:05 pm #1507064

All I am saying is in the years of using trekking poles my falling down has gone down maybe 95%? So many times I have that extra second to grab myself instead of butt/face planting.
And my knees. I don't know where I'd be without them to take the stress off of them.
And crossing rivers, poles are priceless.
I could care less about burning more calories…..not having swollen ape hanger hands at the end of the day is yet another reason to use them!Jun 9, 2009 at 7:31 pm #1507111

Sarah, great point. On a 6-day wet and rugged trip someone in our group slipped, caught himself and spontaneously yelled out "pole save". That was repeated a number of times that trip. It's in our lexicon now.Jun 10, 2009 at 7:21 am #1507200
It was my husband who got me to go to 2 poles way back when. It was our first hike together, going back even before dating. He watched me do the two footed whoopty-whoop slide on a slick mossy bridge in pouring rain. I landed on my back/butt. This was pretty normal for me – and in as well, it seemed for many people I hiked with at the time. No one used poles.
He gave me his to try.
I was hooked.Jun 11, 2009 at 5:15 pm #1507634

FWIW, Wikipedia:
"Compared to regular walking, Nordic walking involves applying force to the poles with each stride. Nordic walkers use more of their entire body (with greater intensity) and receive fitness building stimulation not as present in normal walking for the chest, lats, triceps, biceps, shoulder, abdominals, spinal and other core muscles. This extra muscle involvement leads to enhancements over ordinary walking at equal paces such as:
• increased overall strength and endurance in the core muscles and the entire upper body
• significant increases in heart rate at a given pace [4]
• greater ease in climbing hills
• burning more calories than in plain walking
• improved balance and stability with use of the poles
• significant unweighting of hip, knee and ankle joints
• provides density-preserving stress to bones
Nordic walking can be done year round in any climate and anywhere a person of any age or ability might otherwise walk without poles. It combines simplicity and accessibility of walking with simultaneous core and upper body conditioning similar to Nordic skiing. The result is a full-body walking workout that can burn significantly more calories without a change in perceived exertion or having to walk faster, due to the incorporation of many large core and other upper-body muscles which comprise more than 90% of the body's total muscle mass and do work against resistance with each stride. "Normal walking" utilizes only 70% of muscle mass with full impact on the joints of the legs and feet. Nordic walking produces up to a 46% increase in energy consumption compared to walking without poles.[2] It can also increase upper body muscle endurance by 38% in just twelve weeks."Jun 11, 2009 at 5:31 pm #1507639

@maynard76Locale: New England
I question whether there is much impact on the joints themselves. Joints are designed to move smoothly and efficiently -but are they designed to take the full impact of walking/moving?
Im highly skeptical. It seems like a bad idea to expect the little bit of cartilage to adsorb all that impact, I would think that cartilage is there to separate the bones and create low friction not to absorb impact. Ive never had pain in my knees from walking/hiking but Ive beat the hell out of the leg muscles until they twitched involuntarily. It seems to me that the muscles take the brunt of the impact with the bones only indirectly.
and man people sure fall down a lot!Jun 11, 2009 at 6:55 pm #1507665

You are right, Brian.
>I question whether there is much impact on the joints themselves.
There is – when you walk with heel strike which results in locked knees taking the impact. it is your arches that are evolved to take the impact not your knees.
Walking barefoot, most of us naturally adopt a very different step: the knees are bent, rather than locked; the outside ball of the foot touches the ground to test it first, before applying any weight; then, if it's safe, we roll the rest of the ball in and flatten the heel; only then does the weight come down.
For reference see this thread:

@ngatelLocale: Southern California
I have been using trekking poles for about 3 months now. For me the jury is still out. I have the GG Lightrek 4's so the weight is minimal. To be honest, I think they slow me down. But some of that maybe the technique. There is some more reading and research I need to do, especially on the Nordic Hiking method I have seen posted here recently.
However they are handy for setting up a tarp, and often there are no trees for me to use for this purpose.
Prior to my trekking pole experiment, I had used a hiking staff for decades. I don't feel the staff assisted me that much either. But out of habit, the staff really helped my rhythm while walking, and I liked the fact I could switch it from hand to hand. Plus the staff has a camera mount. I feel much more comfortable hiking with a staff, because I have been doing it for 40 years or more. But it really isn't an aid to help me hike in most situations.
Both the poles and the staff are nice for leaning on when momentarily resting on steep elevation gains.
Now for how much they help on downhills. First, if you have problem joints, I suppose they would be helpful. But maybe they are just a band-aid covering a root cause for many hikers.
Some joint problems probably cannot be repaired without serious intervention, such as surgery. On the other hand, maybe conditioning and other factors play an important role for many hikers. Over the years, I have found that the heavier the footwear, the more likely I am to slip, trip, and have other problems. Of course the heavier your pack, the heavier your footwear needs to be.
For the past year or so, I have been experimenting quite a bit with some extremely light shoes, which have almost zero support. These are racing flats. We are talking about shoes in the 6 oz range. But they do not last as long as trail runners or boots.
I have also been running and hiking in a barefoot shoe, the Vibram five-fingers which are expensive. I have pretty much decided the five-fingers or other barefoot footwear is not my solution for hiking with a pack in varied terrain. However they are a good solution for training runs. If I had a grassy park to run in, I would probably run barefooted for my training.
The barefoot shoes (or you could run barefooted), force your brain and body to run on the balls of your feet. Heel strikes become too bone-jarring and painful. This switch is not conscious. Now when you start running or hiking on the balls of your feet, the arches and other parts of the foot start to absorb the impact, and the calf muscles are doing more work, taking on some of the work the upper leg muscles had been doing. Actually landing on the balls of the feet shouldn't be called impact, because it is morelike using your legs as springs. This is obvious after running for awhile, because the arches and calves are sore after running or walking a lot in barefoot mode; even if you are in good running shape. But after a while the soreness goes away as you get your feet and calves into shape. Also the impact of striking the ground feels "springy" and lighter, than with a heel strike. All of this takes time.
As a result of all these 'quasi-scientific' statements I have made, hiking in extremely light shoes and training as I have, has made me as surefooted as a mountain goat. I never trip or slip any more. Going down hill I feel agile and comfortable, and I move much faster now. The trekking poles get in my way, so I just carry them parallel to the ground most of the time.
They last item we should probably consider is our overall physical conditioning. Genetically, I am fortunate that I have a higher metabolism than most. I also have a lifestyle that allows me to make time for physical exercise several times a week all year round. So I am tall and skinny. That means I can carry lighter clothes, a smaller sleep system, less water, and less food than most people. All of this is conducive to lighter packs and lighter shoes.
I am going to continue to use the trekking poles the rest of this year. Maybe they will prove to be helpful. Maybe dialing into hiking technique will prove them to be a real asset. But right now, I feel that regular exercise and lightweight shoes are more important. Who knows, maybe in December I will dump the trekking poles and get a couple carbon fiber poles for my poncho/tarp.Jun 11, 2009 at 11:41 pm #1507713

Warning For Developers
We wanted to go ahead and open up the codebase as soon as we possibly could. This means that it is currently far from what we would consider well prepared for external consumption. In theory it is possible to fork our server and get it up and running, in practice we'd ask you to hold off for a little longer while we get it nicely containerised and documented.

In general though, you're probably best sending us an email (email@example.com) with some info about what you'd like to achieve.
Things we need to work on a bit more before we'd be recommending anyone to dive in:

text: Hey all I know this is a common problem but so far I have been unable to fix it with any of the answers I've found anywhere. Let explain the situation in detail. I recently purchased a new OCZ 64GB SSD to install Windows 7 64 bit on. I have a separate 500 GB HDD for storage, but I completely disconnect this drive when doing my install because the Windows 7 install disk will not recognize my SSD if it's not the only drive plugged in. After installing Windows everything works fine for a time. I am able to reboot multiple times during the windows update process (btw this is a possible culprit for the issue that is occuring) up until the first 5 security updates for Sevice Pack 1. After installing these updates and shutting down my PC will not boot up and I get the bootmgr is missing error. I have at this point hooked my HDD back up, but it is well after my Windows install has finished, so there doesn't seem to be any way that Windows is writing the bootmgr file to my HDD because I have booted up multiple times with neither the windows install disk in the dvd drive nor the HDD plugged in. This has happened 4 or 5 times to me now and it's getting really frustrating. I'm trying to figure out if something's wrong with my SSD or if there's some update in Windows 7 sevice pack 1 that is incompatible with my hardware. Thanks again for your time.

Break Even In 3.3 Years At Albion College
College is expensive and every year spent getting your degree is a year of lost wages and additional expenses. In order to determine when you will make up for the expenses of college (your Return on Investment) we will look at the estimated cost for a degree and the average starting salary of graduates from Albion College.
|Average yearly cost
|Average years to graduate
|Average starting salary
Catch A High School Graduate Within 23 Years Of Graduating
To determine the year when you catch up, we need to factor in the average earnings of a high school graduate. To simplify things we will assume that the high school graduate starts out earning their full average salary of $30,000 and lives at home for free, while you must pay for your living expenses during college. After college we will assume that you both have the same expenses.
The earnings from an average graduate at Albion College will surpass those of a high school graduate in 23 years.
For a more detailed and accurate look at early/mid career earnings see the chart below.

Great local pizza place. Laid back, low-key, but very friendly staff. The crust was a little thicker than my ideal but tasted great.
You've gotta try this hidden gem! New York style pizza at it's best. Very hot, fresh and mouth-watering delicious.
Homemade pizza from the top down. Very good. They deliver, or carry-out. You pick your toppings, pay a little more for homemade goodness. No room for dinning in.
The dining room lacks a little bit but for a good pizza with lots of toppings this is a great choice.
really fresh and unique pizza. This place is known for putting cream cheese on almost all of their pizzas and it is definitely worth a try. We had the garden pizza and spent the extra dollar to try it with cream cheese. It was tasty and not too salty with the added cream cheese. The owner is very personable.
First of all the adress is 130 W 9th St
Hays, Kansas TripAdvisor took us on a adventure getting here but worth the trip. Extremely HOT and fresh. Let it cool if you like the roof of your mouth. Had a Philly Cheese Steak pizza with cream cheese. Amazing you can get cream cheese on any pizza I recommend it...
This is the best pizza I have ever had. The restaurant is local and has been in the community for years. Daily specials are great, and they offer delivery. It's more than just pizza, make sure to check out other menu items.
Get the cream cheese topping on your pizza and prepare to be ruined. Add a little bacon and this might be one of the best pizzas in Kansas.
Showed up took my order right away. Had servral specials to choose from. I dine there,its carry out was very busy. My pizza took about 10 to12 minutes. My pizza was very good,service was good considering how busy they were. As good as any chain pizza place,thanks
Don't waste your time. Chewy pizza, lazy service, not worth your time. Do yourself a favor and order Domino's

The older he got, the more youthfully exuberant Franco Donatoni's music became. The works he composed in the two decades before his death in 2000 are some of his most remarkable and joyously inventive, and this deftly performed collection of them is the perfect introduction to his very distinctive and constantly diverting musical world. Whether it's the cool homage to the world of 1950s jazz in Hot, with its saxophone solos underpinned by bass pizzicatos and Thelonius Monk-like piano riffs, the much more regulation post-serial abrasiveness of an ensemble piece like Tema, or the quartet of saxophones encircling each other against a background of tuned percussion and piano in Rasch II, Donatoni's music always engages the ear as much as the brain; the bright, immediate detail of many of his wind-dominated textures are counterpointed with moments of sensuous smoothness, and sudden explosions of energy, all perfectly controlled. This is a ravishing collection, beautifully performed.

Assistant Democratic Leader James E. Clyburn today commented on the House vote to prevent a default on the national debt.
"When the Republican Majority took the entire American economy hostage to their extreme right wing agenda, I entered the Biden group negotiations with two bottom lines: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, as well as Pell Grant recipients, had to be protected, and the possibility of defaulting on our obligations had to be prevented at least through the end of 2012. This deal meets my bottom lines, and I support it.
"This bill is far from perfect, but it has significant positive elements. In addition to protecting our social safety net for the most vulnerable, this bill is a rejection of the reckless Ryan budget to end Medicare. Under this plan, discretionary spending will be significantly higher than under the Ryan plan. Of the cuts it does make below fiscal year 2011 levels, half of them come from defense spending, an area of the budget that can afford to be pared.
"Governing, especially during a period of divided government, requires compromise. I do not like everything about this bill, and I want us to turn our focus to creating jobs and growing the economy through smart investments in infrastructure, innovation and education. But I recognize that the situation we find ourselves in necessitates that we make difficult choices and concessions to prevent default and reduce the deficit; the President and Congressional leaders have joined together to accomplish this. Voting for this bill with its many concessions was a difficult choice, but I thought it was the right one."

Working with Krista is a dream. She is organized, efficient, and able to interpret a designer's vision (and wonderful use of words like "airy" and "light", oops!). When we started working together I was nervous about passing off a design for a lot of reasons - it feels kind of personal in those first stages, you know? Luckily Krista has been completely understanding of those sorts of feelings and needs. She's willing to offer advice, feedback, and an understanding for what will actually work versus just look good. I trust her to interact with clients professionally and always excited when we get to tackle a project together!
- Kaitlyn Kessler | The Crown Fox, Designer
Not long after I started designing websites I realized I hated development. It's not my thing. Lucky for me, I found Krista, who loves development, which totally takes all of the pressure off of me! I love that I have the freedom to create awesome designs that my clients love while knowing Krista can bring them to life. She's a quick worker and very detail oriented. I'd happily recommend her to any other designers who, like me, aren't made for development!
- Kory Woodard | Kory Woodard, Designer
Before working with Krista, I struggled to get web design projects wrapped up with clients and I wanted more time in my day to do things besides learning new coding skills. Krista is pushing me past what I've done before and helping me think about more strategies for how to make my client experience even better. I love that she's organized and results driven. I have a new-found peace of mind that work is getting done - and getting done beautifully and quickly!
- Amanda Creek | Amanda Creek Creative, Designer
It was the launch week of a clients website and I ran into some coding issues that I could not fix. Time was ticking and I had only a few days to sort out the problem. I reached out to Krista and lucky for me she came to the rescue. On short notice she was able to solve my coding problem in less than a day and I couldn't have been more thankful. The whole process was smooth, reliable and EASY. Needless to say I'll be keeping her in my back pocket for future projects!
- Nikki Corcoran | Night Owl Studio, Designer
Krista was such a joy to work with! I hired her services for a client project needing development work, and not only did Krista nail it right away, she turned it around quickly and efficiently! Her attention to detail and cheerful manner made the entire experience pleasant and I look forward to working together on future projects!
- Stephanie Williams | Creative Schoolhouse, Designer
I worked with Krista, building a theme collection for my shop, Blog Milk. From the get-go I connected with her on so many levels, Krista is not only excellent at what she does, detail oriented and organized, but she is also fun to work with and very passionate about what she does. I couldn't be happier that she's become part of our team.
- Ana Degenaar | Blog Milk, Designer
I went to Krista because I was unsure about setting up a WordPress test site for my client. Krista was able to host my test site, get it set up, and install plugins that were needed. She took on my small project, was responsive to emails, and was a nice person! It was a pleasure working with her.
- Hayley Fedders | Three Feathers Design, Designer
I contacted Krista to freshen up the look and overall aesthetic of my blog. I was worried about having issues after the site went live and having to pay more or find that I couldn't get help, but all of my qualms were immediately resolved when working with her. Not only was she available for last-minute changes, but she did so with eagerness and excitement – genuinely wanting me to be pleased with my final product. It was hands down the best experience I've had so far working with a site re-do!
- Katie Lemons | Twist of Lemons
I chose to work with Krista on customizations of my new website I was launching. She created exactly the customizations I asked for, beautifully designed, and helped with the process along the way by asking all the right questions. She explained everything she was doing in a very understanding way, and left me with the knowledge of how to adjust things in the future. And she was the upmost professional in every step, even when I couldn't really organize my own thoughts! From beginning to end, it was a pleasure.
- Lucy Browning | Collective Coast
From our initial conversation Krista was very helpful and understanding of my website struggles. She took the time to listen to my requests and to understand my end goal. She is an expert and kept my interests in mind through the whole process. She never made me feel silly for asking questions and explained everything in a way that made perfect sense. Without Krista my website would not be operating as smoothly and efficiently as it is today.
- Jordana Snyder | Jordana Snyder Photography, Photographer
I needed a fresh-looking website that was more user-friendly than my old one. I'd collaborated with Krista in the past, so I knew she'd be super easy and fun to work with. I worried that if I tried to update my website on my own that I'd mess up my site, but I knew that with Krista it would be in safe hands. Krista has a great process, everything was nicely structured and laid out, I knew what I needed to do when, and she had great communication. She made the entire process easy and pain-free. I love that she instantly knew the kind of thing I was looking for and offered suggestions along the way. I now have an amazing website that is easy to use and I feel more professional and proud showing my website to clients. I had a really great experience!
- Lizzie Davey | Wanderful World, Freelance Writer
I had a website that needed a makeover. I had the same "look" for a year, and wanted a newer theme and a more branded feel. It's always nerve-wracking to change your website. Will your readers like it? Will the changes go smoothly? Will I like it? All these thoughts went through my mind before hiring Krista. Thanks goodness, all my fears and concerns washed away once Krista started communicating with me. She is professional and thorough. Working with Krista is a pleasure and I highly recommend her!
- Sue Anne Dunlevie | Successful Blogging, Blogging Success Coach
I worked with Krista to create a visual homepage and organizational system that I could use to grow my content over time. Krista was super professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and non-judgmental towards every one of my requests. She had a quick turn-around and impeccable communication. I recommend Krista to anyone looking for a customized site!
- Julie Savage-Lee | Common Magick, Astrologer
I'm so thankful for the work Krista did for us. We've had problems with website-related stuff before, but with Krista it was easy and straightforward. She is professional, prompt, and clear about everything!
- Jess Ibbett | Shelf/Life, Interior Designer

More Holiday Traffic Than Ever
With two big weekends coming up, AAA estimates that holiday travel will hit its highest level ever. AAA forecasts that 62.7 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home, a 3 percent increase from last year's 60.8 million travelers.
"With Christmas and New Year's Day both falling on Saturdays, many people will make weekend getaways to be with friends and family," said AAA Travel Vice President Sandra Hughes in a news release.
Approximately 50.9 million travelers (81 percent of all holiday travelers) expect to go by motor vehicle, a 2.9 percent increase from the 49.4 million who drove a year ago.
Holiday auto travelers will find gas prices nationwide currently averaging $1.84 for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline down 13 cents during the last month, but about 37 cents higher than a year ago.
The greatest number of holiday auto travelers will originate in the Southeast with 13.3 million, followed by the West, 12.9 million; Midwest, 10.3 million; the Great Lakes, 8.0 million; and the Northeast, 6.4 million.
Cities are the expected destination for 40 percent of Christmas-New Year's travelers, followed by towns/rural areas, 29 percent. Oceans and beaches are popular, getting 15 percent of travelers, followed by mountain areas, 7 percent; 2 percent for lake areas; and 1 percent each for theme/amusement parks and state/national parks. Another 4 percent responded with other, and 1 percent said they didn't know.
Research for holiday travel is based on economic modeling and a national telephone survey of 1,397 adults by the Travel Industry Association of America, which conducts special research for AAA.

"Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Tuesday that he'd back a GOP filibuster of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's health care reform bill.
Lieberman, who caucuses with Democrats and is positioning himself as a fiscal hawk on the issue, said he opposes any health care bill that includes a government-run insurance program — even if it includes a provision allowing states to opt out of the program, as Reid has said the Senate bill will.
"We're trying to do too much at once," Lieberman said. "To put this government-created insurance company on top of everything else is just asking for trouble for the taxpayers, for the premium payers and for the national debt. I don't think we need it now."
Asked about Lieberman's threat to filibuster a final vote on the Reid plan, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said: "I haven't seen the report from Sen. Lieberman or why he's saying what he's saying. I think Democrats and Republicans alike will be held accountable by their constituents who want to see health care reform enacted this year."
Well Gibbs is a clueless as his boss about what we the people want. Healthcare reform yes, on the backs of taxpayers - no.
Lieberman has heard from constituents and so have other conservative democrats, NO NEW TAXES, NO GOVERNMENT-RUN healthcare. As I said before, the public option is dead and now it appears it's written in stone. Look for the liberals to re-double their efforts but it's sure to fail. By the way keep bugging your representatives and don't let the media tell you that it's not working!

The economic crisis that started in 2007 gave rise to a crisis of legitimacy and a widespread collapse of trust in markets, in firms, and in the governance of our economies. We need to build up that trust again and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention are essential tools for fighting bribery and promoting responsible corporate behaviour.

Day 3 Sacred Valley
This morning, fly to Cusco, located more than 11,000 feet above sea level. Enjoy lunch in the central square before proceeding to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. In this vast green valley that sprawls out far below Machu Picchu, an ancient way of life lives on. En route, visit Awana Kancha, a centre where South American camelids, such as llamas and alpacas, are bred. Next, explore the interactive Inkariy Museum that showcases Peru's amazing pre-Columbian societies. Then, acclimatise in your relaxing accommodation – a charming Andean-style casita set amid gardens teeming with flowers. Tonight, join the chef of Wayra Restaurant for a Chef's Table culinary experience, as he demonstrates the preparation of a variety of Peruvian dishes.

Day 4 Sacred Valley
Start to explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas with a visit to a remote village seemingly frozen in time. Experience the ancient agricultural methods they have used for centuries to support themselves in this challenging Andean mountain environment. Delve deeper into local culture with lunch at a local hacienda. This afternoon, prepare for your visit to Machu Picchu with a private, interactive lecture from a renowned scholar on the Incan ruins. When school is in session, visit the Kuychi Center to meet the underprivileged children at Niños del Arco Iris (Children of the Rainbow), a project supported by A&K Philanthropy.
Sol y Luna | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 5 Machu Picchu
Today's exploration begins with a visit to the imposing fortress of Ollantaytambo, the site of the Incas' greatest victory over the invading Spanish. Next, journey deep into the Andes towards Machu Picchu on board the glass-topped Vistadome train, gazing out at the spectacular Peruvian countryside. Stay at the only hotel located on site at Machu Picchu, exploring the breathtaking Incan city from sunrise to sunset. Overlooking the Urubamba River and discovered in a hidden tangle of trees atop a mountain by American historian Hiram Bingham in 1911, Machu Picchu forever holds the secret of its passing – its Incan inhabitants left no written records of its purpose. Built in the 15th century at the height of the Inca empire, it was most likely the estate of an emperor. Tour the ruins with your expert guide, and then enjoy exploring on your own. You may view the Temple of the Sun or Intihuatana, a ritual stone that may have been an astronomical clock or calendar.

Day 6 Machu Picchu / Cusco
Rise with the sun to walk through Machu Picchu in the early morning mist before the crowds arrive, for an experience some consider the spiritual highlight of the journey. You may opt for a hike to Inti Punku (Sun Gate), the entry point to the ruins from the Inca Trail, or trek up to Huayna Picchu, the high mountain that forms the backbone of the ruins, to enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding area. After your explorations return to Cusco aboard the Vistadome train, savouring incomparable views of the mountain scenery that surrounds you.
Belmond Monasterio Hotel | Meals: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 7 Cusco
Discover Cusco on a city tour that includes the Cathedral on the Plaza de Armas and the Santo Domingo Temple, a Dominican church built on the foundations of the Koricancha, the Incas' principal religious building. Later, explore the well-preserved ruins of Sacsayhuaman, a testament to Incan architectural skill where the walls were cut and placed together with incredible precision and without a single drop of mortar to hold them in place. This ancient fortress, which witnessed the greatest battle between the Spanish and the Incas, overlooks the red-tiled roofs of Cusco. Visit San Pedro market, and then spend your afternoon at leisure. This evening, enjoy an Andean music presentation by regional expert Tito Leon, to learn the history and stories of a wide array of handmade musical instruments. Afterwards, enjoy a farewell dinner at the elegant MAP Café.

Thanks everyone, your assistance is very much appreciated. I shall
answer all of your questions, but first some results using `clogit`
for a number of key variables showing important debug information.
As suggested, I have randomly removed 90% of the 8000 groups to
account for possible memory issues, leaving 800 groups left with
~400,000 observations. This did not seem to help though.
I worked on this today. I hope the following will give you folks some
hints on what is going wrong.
A) command: clogit depc_gpf30 close, group(ticker_id) showstep trace
results (FAIL): http://pastebin.com/nHdd5EeS
note: close is a highly right skewed price
B) command: clogit depc_gpf30 close_log, group(ticker_id) showstep trace
results (FAIL): http://pastebin.com/jZhMyPLb
note: close_log is the log transformation of close because close
is a highly right skewed variable
C) command: clogit depc_gpf30 close_ihs, group(ticker_id) showstep trace
results (FAIL): http://pastebin.com/GF5raqhR
note: close_ihs is the inverse hyperbolic sine transformation of
close because close is a highly right skewed variable (alternative to
D) command: clogit depc_gpf30 close_g1 close_g4 close_g7 close_g15
close_g20 close_g30 close_g40 close_g50 close_g60 close_g70 close_g80
close_g90, group(ticker_id) showstep trace
results (SUCCESS): http://pastebin.com/ru9euGGu
note: at this point it still converges, but if I add one more
variable like in E things change.. (and this does not just happen with
this one variable, with others too)
E) command: clogit depc_gpf30 close_g1 close_g4 close_g7 close_g15
close_g20 close_g30 close_g40 close_g50 close_g60 close_g70 close_g80
close_g90 close_g100, group(ticker_id) showstep trace
results (FAIL): http://tinypaste.net/WfSNqD76
note: adding one more variables to D causes the issue, but it
does matter which variable. If I change close_g100 (the integer
denotes a lag in days) by e.g. close_g5, it does compute. However, the
problem is not limited to close_g100. For example, it also doesn't
work when I add close_g120. See the output of the same regression but
with close_g120 here: http://tinypaste.net/Aa69SrC1
Because there seems to be a difference between variables with lower
lags and variables with higher lags I have created summary statistics
for close_g5, close_g30, close_g100 and close_g120, please view them
Moreover, it is a combination of the variables that causes this,
because the following works just fine:
F) command: clogit depc_gpf30 close_g100, group(ticker_id) trace showstep
result: SUCCESS.. output omitted
So just using close_g100 or close_g120 causes no problems.
You might expect that E) follows from multicollinearity problems, but
as this does not seem to be the case, see this `collin` output:
To me these seem the most striking results, but I ask you to look at
the complete results too as I may have missed something.

Travel Blogs from Paso Robles
Paso Robles, California September 15-17
... rough and undertows were probable. He enjoyed the various sniffs from the sea. On the way back we enjoyed the views in the opposite direction. It really gives you a whole different look. It was evening by then and the sun's reflections on the hillsides and long shadows with a setting sun were just splendiferous.
We are right in the middle of wine country, so, of course we had to go to a winery/vineyard and do some tasting. ...
Help, I've fallen behind and I can't catch up!
... and David and I went with Marc to their cottage a little north of Paso Robles. It's a great place, this place, but the ground is as dry as a bone. I've taken a short video of me walking on the ground so that the crunchiness of the ground can be heard.
We had a quiet sort of day here. We spent the day talking and then went to the cottage of my cousin Kelly for dinner. We sat outside around a gas fire pit (no real fires allowed) and it was nice ...
Day 6 - Big Sur
... to climb over creeks & under fallen trees to make the falls but if was worth he experience. Our Inn for the night was Ragged Point Inn perched on the hill overlooking the sea. We spent a lazy afternoon admiring the view & planning our next few days. After watching the sunset we had a great dinner, with local California sparkling wine. Night night hope you like the video produced by my lovely co writer ...
San Simeon to Monterey
Up early for breakfast at the Hearst Castle Visitor Centre. Bus tour started at 9.20 am. 5 miles of winding road up the hill to the castle. We saw the Grand Rooms Tour, pretty impressive, particularly since all the decorations were ones he collected from Europe and built the castle to accommodate. The grounds are also something to behold. We looked down on ...
Wine Tasting
... Olive Oil Tasting with great mustards too.
Ate at the Paso Robles Inn for lunch (was not that great) and Robert's for dinner (was fantastic).
On our way home Sunday morning we had lunch in Sherman Oaks with the Gumbiner's. ...


text: Posted January 10, 2008 Was at the game on Tuesday night, a buddy's corporate tickets. I'd have to fight Dick Enrico to get any closer. I guess I picked the right night. Wolves managed a win. It was a pretty ugly game, but it was fun to watch Riles pacing the sidelines and watch Wade score 25 without breaking a sweat. McCants was totally feeling it. He was talking to Ricky Davis and Mark Blount on the Heat bench all game and snarling at anybody that would listen. He's got a nice nasty streak that helps when the shots are falling and gets him frustrated when they weren't. The Wolves will get their wins here and there. I don't think they will be setting any records for fewest wins in an 82 game season. I enjoy watching highlights of Beasley, Rose, or Mayo going off. One week from today I'll be watching Eric Gordon play against the Gophs. He's a handful. Those guys would all look good playing for the Wolves. Wish there was a James, Durant, or Oden in the 08 draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHAPTER: 5, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE (PART 1)Mature
Déjà vu.
Derek was in bed again, an enormous ice pack numbing his irritated shoulder. His ultra sound cast humming pleasantly.
The room was elegant this time. Spacious. The ceiling was an upward curving dome that connected to the floor by a spherical wall. Half the wall was a continuous window designed with an electronically adjustable tint.
He knew it was well passed dawn, but Derek kept the window black and the lights off. It helped in convincing himself he was at the hospital.
"Master McVale?"
Derek jumped a bit, "Yes?"
"Master Thagret insists you attend breakfast while it's still out."
Master Thagret? Kaine or Alex?
Derek was staying at their residence. It was the last thing he wanted but he'd been in too much pain to protest Alex's intent. By the time he was able enough to leave, Alex had already sent Ben, the butler to his apartment and picked out a handful of clothes.
"Orientation is two days from now," He had countered to Derek's objection, "We'll be meeting up at the ferry together anyway."
And orientation was today.
Luckily, Kaine had been absent so far during Derek's stay.
Every job had been clean and simple. No meetings. Tansen explains the job, who wants it done and how much they're paying. Derek gets it done, money is wired to his account. Simple.
Tansen seemed more unreachable. He'd messaged Derek that the client wants to meet personally. Whether Derek had always been uncomfortable with these social dealings, or he'd just gotten used to Tansen handling them, Derek had been glad to get Kaine out of the way and focus on the job.

A front-page article on Sept. 16 about persistent health problems in some survivors of the 2001 anthrax attacks misidentified the adult who took a 7-month-old boy to the Manhattan office where he was infected with skin anthrax last Sept. 28. It was a baby sitter who took him to visit his mother, a producer at ABC News; the mother did not take him to visit her colleagues. (The boy has recovered.)
A chart with the article referred incompletely to the source of his infection. Investigators are uncertain of the origin of the anthrax at ABC News; it may have been letters that arrived at The New York Post and NBC News, as the chart said, or it may have been a letter to ABC that has never been found.Continue reading the main story

Poor Severus.
| Evilevergreen chapter 1 . 8/24/2007
My favorite part would have to be when you compared Percy to Severus. I think seeing a Dark Percy would have been believable within the HP world.
Great job. D
| DailyProphetEditor chapter 1 . 6/23/2007
Well. I just don't believe in the Snape-loved-Lily theory (you may all go and laugh at me if Deathly Hallows proves me wrong). They might have been friends, that's quite likely indeed. But I don't think there was love. So I'm not too happy with the conclusion of this story.
But, and that's a huge BUT: this is one of the best-written little ficlets I've read in a while. I love the Severus/Minerva interaction, the snippets of information from Severus's past as a student. Although a conversation with a chess game as backsetting is a plot device often used, it rarely ever is done so well. I loved how Minerva first thought Severus wasn't paying attention and then still lost her queen - but not the game. Great writing style.
I also find it quite believable that Snape must know a couple of things - like that Harry would eventually come to Hogwarts, and that Sirius could not have had a child - yet he choses not to know them and not to think about them. Denial of unwanted information is a typical process, and Snape's a likely candidate for that. I feel you've portrayed both Severus and Minerva very in character.
And just a minor side issue, but I liked the thing about Percy, that a mind like his would be attractive to the dark side... Percy has always been so straight-to-the-Ministry that few people stop to notice that he has in fact quite some dark potenial (after all he worshipped Barty Crouch senior who allowed the Unforgivables to his Aurors). So that was another very-in-character observation you worked into this fic.
| Kayryn chapter 1 . 2/8/2006
This was a good one. I like the idea in the end. And I generally enjoyed the idea of these two spending time together.
| Dar Sel'La chapter 1 . 6/27/2005
That is an intresting thought. It would make the relationship that you see part of in year 5 soo much more intresting. I like the end.
| Kimberly chapter 1 . 8/17/2004
This is an intersting short piece. I never thought about how Snape's opinions about Harry relate to his relationship with Lily, only with James. I also liked how Snape showed emotion in front of another Professor. Kinda reminds me that HP is written from the POV of Harry.
| Lavinia Lavender chapter 1 . 7/8/2004
Oh, one thing: You might want to re-rate this - there's swearing, it can't be G. Try PG.
| KatieSkarlette chapter 1 . 12/15/2003
I ADORE this. The interplay between Minerva and Severus is spot-on. And the Lily thing...yes yes yes. _
| Darcel chapter 1 . 3/15/2003
Poor snape.. You write great storys
| Boromir chapter 1 . 1/1/2003
that was very good!
| Charlotte Black chapter 1 . 10/29/2002
This story was perfect. I just thought I'd let you know I've read all your other Harry Potter fics too, and I think they're all excellent. Some of the best writing on the site. My favourite is still 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday' though.
| Dreamer22 chapter 1 . 10/11/2002
Intreaging, Severus had/has a thing for the late Lily? hmmm interesting, very interesting!
| Lavinia Lavender chapter 1 . 9/21/2002
Oooh. Cool.
| Hopeful Writer chapter 1 . 8/4/2002
Wow, cool. Poor guy. At least it's not Sirius's kid, though. Besides, Harry doesn't look *that* much like Lily ('cept the eyes). Hmm, maybe the reason Snape hates Harry is Lily, not James. Cool concept. *strolls off thinking*
| smile7499 chapter 1 . 5/19/2002
interesting idea, to have a conversation during a chess match. good depth of the characters.

I have used over 20 different editors and IDEs on my iPhone. Some have been good, most disappointing. This is the first one that has completely blown me away. The feature set is stunning. By my second day I had written scripts to automate tasks that I had previously thought impossible. The feature set is rich to say the least, the UI is polished, and the documentation is great. Unexpectedly amazing.
Awesome Text Editor
I love this app. My primary requirements for such an app are that it sync with Dropbox and offers dynamic text like time and date stamps. It does both and very well. Plus it has all kinds of flexibility. You can use plain text or other formats. And the layout is very clean and pleasant. It's my go to text editor for making quick notes with time and date stamps.
My search has ended!
Like several others before me here have stated over the years I have purchased more text editor apps than I can remember. Each was pretty good in its own way but each was also lacking in what I really wanted. A programmable text editor.
My search for the best iOS text editor has a happy ending to it.

I've been hard at work for the past few months with many Summit duties. It takes months and months of effort to pull the conference off, and the STC staff is working to create an awesome conference experience for all Summit attendees.
One of my major conference-related duties is selling exhibit booths and sponsorship for the Expo. Having exhibitors at the conference is a benefit for attendees, and I strive to get the best exhibitors I can.
Booth spaces are selling quickly, and we have made a lot of changes to the Expo for this 2016 Summit! If your company is considering exhibiting at the Summit, now is the time to sign up. We are hosting a large welcome reception, two breakfasts, several coffee breaks, multiple vendor sessions, a vendor raffle for attendees, and two speed networking events in the Expo Hall. By the way, if you haven't tried speed networking, you're missing out on a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and make new business contacts.
We're still looking for sponsors in addition to exhibitors For exhibitor information, check out STC's conference website for an up-to-date floor plan with available booths, a list of exhibitors, and some pretty cool sponsorship opportunities as well!
Finally, the Consultants Corner returns this year, with tables for independent consultants to share information on what they do and who they consult with or for. It's affordable space for the small companies. Check out the details and sign up.

Dark DaysMature
A street light flickers in the distance, hiding the body below it.
The arms are in strange positions and the legs are all twisted, and the head is missing.
A girl is standing nearby, and she dips her finger in the small pool of blood. No one is around, so she takes her time and smiles whispering a small "thank you" into the quiet night air.
As soon as she see's dawn break,she flees home with her hands dripping of blood and death.
When I wake up the next morning, dry blood stains the sheets, yet I do not smile.
I get up, get dressed, and walk to school not bothering to wash off the blood.
Many people look at me in horror, and I am soon approched by the police.
"Ma'am? can you explain this?"
I look at there eyes and see fear and consern but I choose not to fight them. "I think we need to talk in private."
I'm in an intaragation room at the station, and the blood has been cleaned off.
I tell them everything, making up that I was attacked, instead of being that creepy girl who played in the dead man's blood.
They soon let me go, and when I go home, I laugh. They belived me and its humorous
but only for a moment.
I don't bother go to my bed, and instead sit with my back against the door.
I am alone until suddenly He is here.
He seems angry, and he cuts me up with a knife and throws me into the wall. I do not fight back, because I see what I am becoming. I let him beat and cut me, in hopes he can kill the monster I am slowly turning into.
The moon shines through the window, and someone knocks on my door. I lay on the floor of my apartment, bleeding, but feeling alive.
and somehow, I know the monster inside is gone.
Now I know what I must do to the killer.
I have to make him suffer.


text: 70 CONNECTION BETWEEN CHRIST AND KE1SHIA IMAGINARY. authoritative exponent of Yaishnava tenets, has attempted to point out that it contains many coincidences with and references to the New Testament. As Dr. Muir has very justly observed, there is, no doubt a general resemblance between the manner in which Krishna asserts his own divine nature, enjoins devotion to his person and sets forth the Messing which will result to his votaries from such worship on the one hand, and the language of the fourth Gospel on the other. But the immediate introduction of the Bible into the explanation of the Bhagavad Gita is at least premature. For though some of the parallels are curious, the ethics and the religion of different peoples are not so different from one mother that here and there coincidence should not be expected to be found. Host of the verses cited exhibit no very close resemblance to Biblical texts and a;& only such as might naturally have occurred spontaneously to an Indian writer. And more particularly with regard to the doctrine of * faith* bhakii may be a modern term, but waddhi, in much the same sense, is found even in the hymns of the Eig Veda. A striking example of the insufficiency of mere coincidence in name and event, to establish a material connection between the legends of any two reigioaSj is afforded by the narrative of Buddha's temptation as given in the Lalita Vistara. In all such cases the metaphysical resemblance tends to prove the identity of the religious idea in all ages of the world and among all races of mankind; but any historical connection, in the absence of historical proofs is purely hypothetical. The story of the Temptation in the fourth Chapter of S. Matthew's Gospel, which was undergone after a long fast and before the commencement of oar Lord's active ministry, is exactly paralleled by the cir- cumstances of Buddha's victory over the assaults of the Evil One, after he had completed his six years of penance and before he began his public career as a national Reformer, Bat the Lalita Vistara is anterior in date to the Christian revelation, and therefore cannot have borrowed from it ; while it is also certain that the Buddhist legend can never have reached S. Matthew's ears; and there- fore any connection between the two narratives is absolutely impossible. My belief is that dl the supposed connection between Christ and Krishna is equally imsginary.
