Pickup truck sleepers
So just like lots of other people, I stay in a tent whenever I go to an offroad park or event. The tent is plenty big enough, and the air mattress is alright to sleep on. BUT, I can't stand waking up on the final day and having to tear down my little gypsy-hut and air down my air mattress so I can shove them back into their packaging, only to have to shove all of that back into a tote.
I have looked at truck campers/motorhomes/anything else that comes to mind with all the amenities, but am now wondering if I really need all that stuff. I think just a place to sleep would be good enough. Also, I have a 97 Dodge ext. cab, and would love to have a little more cab space.
I found these guys online (www.cowtownsleepers.com), and am fairly interested. However, I wanted to find out if anyone on here has any experience with them.
The only other person that camps with me is my wife, but we do often haul with 3-5 people in the truck to and from the event. I thought one of these sleepers would be neat because you could store your clothes/dry food and such under the bed area, and when on the way to an event, one of the passengers that is falling asleep could just crawl up there and take a nap while going down the road!
I think if I were to do this, I would like to get a slightly larger one, like a 36" or 42" Roadrunner model.
So, after that story, has anyone on here seen or owned one of these, or what do you think of them? It would be a very large downsizing in sleeping area for me, but I think gaining some cab space and a sleeping area that you set up once and leave alone would be very nice.
So, tell me what you think!
Any input is appreciated.

I'm going to call you in a few minutes anyway, but I figured I'd post my thoughts (as I'm running a similar scenario through my head now too).
Since you have a bumper-pull trailer, I think a truck bed topper would really be the easiest and most cost-effective. Add to that a bedrug carpet liner and you would have a pretty decent camping set up. It's not ideal, but it'd work. A single matress or even an air matress would still fit and allow room for cargo when you pack up camp. You wouldn't have to worry as much about tearing down the tent and sleeping quarters, nut load up the cooking and other campsite gear. You could make it really sweet and install an RV air conditioner to the roof too. I think that'd be your low-buck camper set up that is still removable for when you don't need it, or want to use the bed.
If I can come up with a decently long GN trailer, I still think I'll try to locate (or have King find me one) a regular truck sleeper and slap in on the very front of the trailer. If nothing else it'd be dry storage for bedding and tools. Then again, my quad cab is big enough that I could probably turn it into a sleeper for one easy enough... Dammit Adam, now I went and thought myself into a circle...

are you talking about sleeping across the width of a pickup bed?
I'd rather break camp on a sunday morning than try sleeping like that!
I'd put an air mattress in a truck bed, with a topper before I tried that. hell, a regular short box is perfect for a full sized air mattress.
Ive camped in a truck bed with a tarp, some bungee cords, and two dome tent collapsible poles tucked into the stake pockets before done corner to corner. took 3 minutes to setup/break down, and kept me dry for a 24 hour race at daytona in an absolute deluge.

that's a cool idea and all, but why not just do a topper and blow up the air matress in the bed? Then you get dry lockable storage for the whole bed. I could see the sleeper being a pretty sweet setup if you towed a GN trailer though.

What I use to use was a shell/topper and a cot that hooks to the bed rail. it would fold up when not inuse. I cannot find them now. Used it when I was hunting. Kept all my junk in the truck then when I stopped t o camp just pull eveything out that I used to cook with and threw my bag on the cot and slept.
Can't go to sleep or the clowns will eat me!

A buddy has one of those sleeper things, he tows a goose, so the topper thing is out, BUT he has bed in the goose (2wd pulling truck hauler). He just keeps junk and clothes in the sleeper thing. He used to use it to sleep in when he towed on an open trailer, but he is a scrawny little shit. (5'6" and maybe 100 lbs.)
I agree with the topper guys since you are towing bumper pull.
If you were towing on a open bumper pull, I'd get a walk in sleeper from a semi and put entry towards the rear, and make a door, put on front of the bed, (assuming the trailer bed was long enough obviously).

Definitely good points about using a truck topper. I thought about that before, but cancelled it out because I got too into the idea of really "compartmentalizing" it, which would make it hard to break down and remove when you need a truck bed.
However, if you keep it simple, it could really work out sweet, and be more comfortable for sleeping.
The topper thing wouldn't add any cab space, but I suppose I can live without it.
That is the one thing I don't like about the Cowtown sleepers. It seems like it would be extremely tough to sleep two people in one, even the 42" models.
Thanks for the input guys.

I had a topper on my long bed Dodge for the last 4 years. It was pretty nice to be able to store all my crap and lock it up and keep it semi safe and dry. BUT I think I slept in it once, maybe twice. The problem was without building some type of 'system' by the time I had all my gear pulled out, bed set up and ready to roll - I could have set up a tent and had more room and all my gear would still be dry in the truck.
Those little mini sleepers just look too small to me.
If you have the room to store it - I'd look at small, simple slide in truck campers, they can be had for $1000 all week long on Craigslist. Load it will all your gear you will need, have it ready to go all the time. Add food and clothes as the trips requires, load the camper and be off. Build something for your trailer to hold all your tools and spares and you'd be set. No need to load or unload anything, ever.

I've seen some guys use a high rise topper and put 2x4's in the half way notches on the bed and slide plywood in. They slide rubbermaid type under bed storage containers in under that, sleeping stuff on top. Can get toppers for free or next to it sometimes on Craigslist/Kijiji.
If I was sleeping crosswise, I'd just sleep on the truck bench seat (assuming you have a bench?)

i've spent several nights in my truck. i sleep across the bench seat but being 6' 2" it's not very comfortable. my buddy did hot shotting for awhile and took out everything but the driver seat and made some sort of l shape bed i guess but i want to be able to carry passengers. another idea was a 36" sleeper off a rig and stretch the frame but since this is also my off road rig i didnt want to do that. for camping i used one of those truck bedz air mattresses but i carry too much in my bed day to day. i'm thinking one of those tent cots might be a good option. they come in single and double. the plywood false floor might work for you if you and your wife arent claustrophobic. i like the security of being inside the vehicle personally but i cant use a topper with my toolboxes on the bedrails. one think i'd like to do is make my front bench recline and slide forward to combine with the rear seat.

I have a camper top on my truck...Plan on making a false floor covered with carpet with a slide out "drawer" made of 2x4's and plywood that is about the size of the bed floor...This only sits about 6-8inches up off the bed floor, so it leaves plenty of room to sleep on top of it...Ive seen the "drawer" method used before for tools and chains, and such and it will hold a good amount of camping equipment...Ill just make a thick pallet with blankets and rack the fawk out like the old cowboy days...One thing Ive learned, is if your tired enough you'll fall asleep anywhere...Its only for 1 or 2 nights at most, so I just rough it, and its cheap...

It's arguably a never-ending argument, but if you do it enough to become proficient, it really cuts down on the amount of gear to take with, setup and tear down times and overall streamlinedness of the whole process.

Truck camper is by far the baddest setup going for the cheapest price...period.
I can tow my buddys 30ft enclosed or my 34ft bumper pull or my 16ft single place.
The roof is a popup on the camper so it cuts wind resistance down. I had the roof a/c installed and it also has a heat element in it. I swapped out the nonworking 3 way fridge for a dorm fridge and use only electricity, no propane for anything. Were we go we either have electricity hookup or bring a generator. I have about $2500 in the camper ($700 was a/c, camper was $1500, rest was my small upgrades including fridge). I bought it in June and have used it 8 times for a total of 14 nights. I have plans to use it at least three or four more times before the end of the year.
Set up takes less than 10 minutes (roof pops up in less than a minute), the other 9 minutes are me unwrapping the electrical cord so it could be done in less time
Tear down is very fast and makes me sooooooo glad for it when I see other still tearing their tent cities down and mines ready to go.
camper weighs about 1k
i have a set of clothes that i keep in it along with my camping gear that i never have to take in and out of the back of my truck every trip again.
sleeps 2 to 4...2 couples...or two dudes...
plus if you dont have a dually (takes a little longer with dually) you can get it out of the bed of your truck in very little time.

Cheap/Simple Solution:
Get a used/new camper shell and slap it on your truck bed. Build a sleeping platform and shove all your gear under neath it. For better access you can get drawers like this in the bed for gear:
New/Used Camper shell on top of the bed with a platform over the drawers. Put carpet on it, air mattress, electric blanket whatever. You dont really have to break camp, camper shell, platform and/or drawers can easily be removed if you want to reconfigure the truck for another use.

at one point i was gonna build a "sleep on top-able" storage box in my suburban. most of my wheelin junk used to stay packed up in it all the time anyway. kind of along the same lines as yall with the pickup shells.
now im building an enclosed trailer so i have nothing to unpack from my truck and my rig doesnt sit outside between trips
i do kinda like the sleepers but i dont have room for that and my toolbox.
saw a guy with a small big rig sleeper mounted behind his crewcab on the highway earlier today and thot of this thread. he was prolly a hot shotter and had no bed behind it,but one could cut down a pickup bed or build a small flatbed so his truck wasnt a tractor. it was cool but would prolly be a PITA most of the time... unless you wheel every weekend and have other trucks to use as trucks.

I picked up a flat top sleeper a month or so ago for my tow rig build. I paid $202.50 for a 36" sleeper.
if I don't use it on my rig, i will mount it to the front of my trailer. (I saw someone on here who has a 36" sleeper on their trailer and it looks like it belongs)

This is my solution for a sleeper with pickup.
Its a 05 F350 CC C&C. I had a custom bed on the back (bought that way), but the city considered it to be a flat bed. The city has parking regulations, I wouldn't pass with a camper in the back as well. My house situation wouldn't permit me to use one with taking it out. My driveway is 23* steep and I only have 10' of usable side. The home ac is on that side as well. My solution is a long bed (C&C is 4" longer wheelbase and different frame setup) with a utility top slide-in. Its a slide in, but I'd rather have a topper just couldn't find one. The slide-in takes a lot of usable room out. Anyways, plans are to add a pop-up top similar to the VW camper vans for a stand-up space and a loft bed (for my teen girl). There will be a bed on the floor (after removal of floor and roll-out shelf). The driver's side will have a drop-down bed for my teen boy. The passenger side will be the kitchen. It will roll out of the side access door to gain space inside. There will be canvas attachments and side walls if necessary to the topper.

Noon looks to future
Youngsters Ian Saxelby and Nick Langford will have the chance to shine in the Second XI Trophy as Notts build a squad for the future, according to Assistant Manager Wayne Noon.
England Under-17s seamer Saxelby has completed his A-levels at Oakham School and will spend the rest of the summer with the Second XI, while 15-year-old Langford has already impressed with the bat after making his debut earlier this season.
Noon said: "While we qualified for the semi-finals of the Trophy in the last two years, this season may be a bit different as there are a few youngsters we are giving a go.
"Of course we'll still be going out there to win but I'm looking more at the performances rather than the results."

LBJ letter to Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow sells for $60,000
By John Clarke
FALLS CHURCH, Va. (Reuters) - A condolence letter from President Lyndon Johnson to the widow of slain civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was sold for $60,000 at auction on Thursday after a legal battle over the 47-year-old piece of correspondence.
The typed letter from Johnson to Coretta Scott King is dated April 5, 1968, the day after King was gunned down in Memphis, Tennessee, by a white supremacist, triggering riots in cities across the United States.
"We will overcome this calamity and continue the work of justice and love that is Martin Luther King's legacy and trust to us," Johnson, who had succeeded to the presidency after John F. Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963, said in the letter on White House stationery.
Johnson won election to his own four-year term in 1964 but chose not to run again in 1968 after Kennedy's younger brother, Robert F. Kennedy, then a U.S. senator from New York, entered the race for the Democratic nomination. RFK was himself assassinated in Los Angeles two months after King was slain.
Quinn's Auction Galleries in Falls Church, Virginia, set a minimum price at $60,000, the sum an online bidder ultimately paid for it, though the item had been expected to fetch at least twice that amount, according to the company's website.
Auctioneer Matthew Quinn said the letter had special resonance given the 50th anniversary this month of the "Bloody Sunday" protest march at Selma, Alabama, a turning point in the U.S. civil rights movement, and the release of the King-centered movie, "Selma."
Coretta Scott King held on to the letter until 2003, then gave it to singer and social activist Harry Belafonte. She died in 2006.
When Belafonte tried to auction it off in 2008, King's children objected, and the sale was canceled. The two sides became embroiled in a legal battle. Continued...

The score for The Raid is steadily moving along. In between Linkin Park studio sessions–which are also underway–I'm working on the feature-length score for this brutal Indonesian action movie. With a good chunk of the movie now sounding good, and a lot of great hype and reviews coming from folks who have gotten a chance to see the film, I'm excited to tell you a little more about it.
Writing big, nasty parts for a fast-paced action scene have come pretty naturally for me. There are lots of moments with big beats and unique, exciting sounds. But one thing I've found that's different in writing for film (versus an album) is being aware of how and when to make the music transparent. The music needs to be invisible at times. Writing a Linkin Park song is usually about our personal stories, not someone else's. And an LP song is designed to draw you in, to catch your ear with words, melodies, and sounds. Often, the techniques I might use to create a catchy sound or "hook" would actually take away from a scene in The Raid, so it's been a fun challenge to learn when and how to let the movie's story come first.
I also enlisted the help of Joe Trapanese, best know for his work with Daft Punk on the TRON score and soundtrack. Joe also did strings on the newest M83 album, "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming." Joe comes from a composing / arranging / film background, and we're finding great ways to inform and compliment one anothers' work in the music for this movie.
Here's a cool (fan-made?) video for Joe's favorite track he worked on, from M83's new album, a song called "Wait"

I understand that IRS only allows upto $25 of WRITE OFF for corporate gifts. What I want to know is that is it in anyway against any CALIFORNIA law or Federal Law to give away gifts/gift cards of cash value of up to $100 to patients for marketing purposes?
Nope, your deduction for those is going to be limited to $25 each per Section 274(b)(1). California law conforms to this rule.Ask a similar question
Depending on the nature and purpose, you may also want to consider these "gifts" as promotional in nature and part of the marketing activity of your business. Suspecting the entire portion would be deductible in that case.

Since she first emerged as an artist in 1990, Ghada Amer has filtered her work through her experiences as an Egyptian woman brought up by observant Muslim parents in France. This background accounts, perhaps, for her particular take on feminism: a fearless mix of politics and pornography, Arabic tradition and Western liberalism, most notable in her signature stitched-canvas "paintings." Her show at Cheim & Read includes the latest incarnations of these, as well as metal sculptures.
An example of the latter, Blue Bra Girls, interconnects the figures of eight women within an egg-shaped form as a tribute to female protesters beaten by soldiers in Cairo's Tahrir Square during the Arab Spring. Similarly, the rape and imprisonment of Amina Sboui, a Tunisian activist known for her topless protests, is recalled in Amina, an embroidered painting of a reclining nude overlaid with Arabic texts.
As powerful as the sculptures are, the paintings command your attention because of the way Amer leaves the end of each basted thread long and loose, creating an effect that recalls painterly drips. The irony underscoring these compositions, of course, is that Amer employs a medium associated with women to explore the line between oppression and empowerment. But it is also this combination of visual allure and political message that makes her work so compelling.—Paul Laster

That's a question I never really asked myself, but I do get it from other people every once in a while, when I tell them about Code Generation, the Language Workbench Challenge or just model driven software development in general.
The answer could be summarized as 'for the same reason a blacksmith needs a hammer and an anvil and a shoe maker needs a boot tree and a needle'. Every tradesman needs the right tools for the job.
Just imagine this: you are working on a piece of software and you find yourself repeatedly going to your customer to ask how they want your application to perform a certain task. Then, you find out that most of the implementations resulting for this are quite similar in nature and you decide to create a small DSL to address that fact and speed up your talks and your development.
Pah! Instead of repeatedly writing the same code, you now write small statements (either graphical or textual) that describe the problems your customer wants you to solve and from which you can generate working software. Nice!
Now, let's take a step ahead. Suppose you are doing the same thing still, about a year later. Because of your good work, you now have more customers and each of them requests more features than the initial one, because you are doing a good job. In order to cover for that, you have set up a team of developers, because despite the use of DSLs and code generators, you can't do it all by yourself.
And suddenly, you find yourself in a situation where the small models, because that's what they are, that you expressed in your DSL start referring to each other, and being (re)used by multiple people on your team. Now which version of which model do you need for product A for customer B, and which one do you need for product C of customer D? And how do you solve the fact that people are making changes to the same model for different products of the same customer?
There are different solutions to that problem, but I reckon most of them involve (re)dividing up the models, and performing version control on them. Maybe even real configuration management, allowing you to mix and match different versions of models. If only you had the tools to support you in that – models are often not stored in text format, like traditional program code, so tools like diff and merge often don't work, leading to all kinds of issues and additional manual labour.
In a similar fashion, you may run into problems not because your team grows, but because models go bigger – another reason to split them up and maybe start doing version control on the parts. Also, you may find that your models become better if certain parts are expressed in another, dedicated DSL (just think about a DSL for specifying the pages of an app, and another one to define application flow). How do you mix these DSLs in such way that you can easily define the models required to solve your customers problem and generate the code?
This is a very short and possibly rather abstract example, but it is exactly what the case we put up for the Language Workbench Challenge is about. We work with (sets of) domain specific languages, we work in teams, and we work on models that are getting bigger. That will only help us if we can do it efficiently, and if we use tools that help us with issues like the ones expressed above – which are distracting us from our real goal: solving the customer's problem. These tools are the language workbenches we discuss and compare in the LWC workshop, for the fourth year in a row. So, if you are interested in this topic, because you work with domain specific languages, or are working on a workbench yourself – join us in Cambridge on April 8th, 2014. Registration details can be found here: and information about the workshop can be found here.
And while your at it – it's worth considering combining a visit to this workshop with a visit to Code Generation, or vice versa.
See you all in Cambridge!

One coworker even went as far as to grab me and then made it a big deal when I asked him not to and pushed him away. It was jolting, and there was no amount of education or discipleship that prepared me to deal with sexual harassment.
I knew it was wrong the whole time it was happening. As a Christian, I felt the tension of how to respond to the sexual harassment: do I pursue justice or extend grace?
Once I finally admitted to myself what was happening, I talked to a few friends. They said I should take the verbal harassment as a compliment and not overreact. "What woman doesn't want to be seen as attractive?" In a culture driven by sex, if it isn't sexy, it doesn't sell. So, according to my friends, I should take what those men were saying as a compliment. But I didn't, and I couldn't.
The words of those men were debilitating, because I knew that my fundamental identity had nothing to do with my physical appearance. I knew that the type of beauty I wanted to be recognized for wasn't fundamentally for my looks or body shape, but with the God who dwells in me. "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a women who fears the Lord shall be praised" (Prv 31:30).
Sadly, my friends and those men didn't get that.
Comments Continue
After my first experience of sharing with someone, I waited a few months to talk to someone else about it. I had just reported one incident to human resources, but the comments only continued to come from those men. I decided to talk to an older Christian woman in the workplace to get her advice on how to handle it.
She said that I, as a woman, must be doing something to encourage it, because she had never experienced sexual harassment. I left thinking that now I was somehow to blame. I dreaded going to work and would cry almost every night while begging the Lord to remove me from the situation.
By God's grace, I finally admitted my feelings of shame in enduring sexual harassment. As I shared with my roommate the truth, she graciously stepped into all of the mess with me. She assured me that what was happening was not right. She reminded me that I was not responsible for the men's comments.
On the really hard days, she listened, cried with me, and reminded me that God is faithful and that he is fighting for me (Ex 14:14). I began to open up more about it with people to let them in and walk through the struggle with me. I continued to seek the Lord on what would be the most honoring way for me to respond to the company, the men, and others. I wanted to stop any other person going through what I did.
"Do I pursue justice or extend grace?" The truth is, I needed to do both. I reported the incidents and the men to the company. Then as I continued to talk openly with my faithful and godly community, by God's grace I was able to extend grace. I was able to offer forgiveness to them and hold no bitterness against them.
This didn't happen instantly. It took several months for me to truly forgive them—months of prayer, months of support and counsel from God's people.
Faulty Definitions
At first I thought if I forgave them, it would be akin to admitting that everything thy did was okay. My definitions of forgiveness and grace were faulty. The ability to even begin to forgive would never happen so long as I was responding to these men in light of their actions or words toward me.
Any possibility that I could forgive came from events that happened long before any of this trouble. Forgiveness for them—and me—began on a cross. It's there that I am reminded of a great God who offered forgiveness by sacrificing his own Son for me when I didn't deserve it.
My pride and selfishness are no different before a holy and just God than their harassment. I was only able to forgive because I know and believe that God is a grace-giving God who is in control. In that assurance, I find the freedom to forgive. Extending forgiveness didn't take away the pain or the reality of what happened, but it was and still is a reminder of my own need and desperation for Christ. I learned more about our God who is not only my protector, but who is also good . . . even in a situation so ugly and wrong as sexual harassment.

If there is a holiday that marks the beginning of the backyard barbecue season, it has to be Memorial Day. Though it is a year-round practice in our house, we always make a point to fire up the grill at some point over the long weekend for some delicious barbecue (and beer, of course!). Simmering the ribs in the beer first really tenderizes the meat while adding a hint of flavor, and the sauce adds just the right sweet and spicy intensity.

Why you're here: Football season is upon us once again, and it's time to start staking out your Sunday or Monday night turf. Look no further than Katie O'Keefe's Casino, a quiet and mostly overlooked little sports joint in Stephens Center. There's always a game of some kind playing on this impressive collection of gi-freaking-gantic flat-screen TVs.
Atmosphere: Katie's has kind of a bi-polar feel to it. Just inside the unassuming entrance lies a small dark bar decked in red lighting and crammed with keno machines. The howl of a man temporarily down on his luck spills from a smaller room nearby; the Del Mar horse race is playing on two large TVs (Katie's is one of the only local venues for off-track betting). Jog down a short flight of steps, however, and you'll find a cavernous sports-viewing utopia complete with pool tables and darts. Flat-screens line nearly every wall. Don't worry. The Del Mar is playing here, too.
What you're drinking: If you ask the regulars—including an off-shift bartender—about the Katie's drink of choice, their reply is simple: "Bud." The bar offers pretty much anything you can think of, from a strong gin-and-tonic to an Irish Car Bomb, and all are pretty cheap (the former, plus two bottles of Miller Genuine Draft, came out at a hair over $7). Most just settle for a pitcher of something off the taps, though. Not that it lasts longer when the Griz are playing...
Where the party's at: Every bar has its "You haven't seen it like this before" days. For Katie's, that would be every Saturday afternoon. While the Griz football team takes the field at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, UM devotees gather en masse for a potluck. Bring a bag of chips, a cup of dip and don't skip over the homemade fudge. Did we forget to mention that the walls are lined with Griz memorabilia?
Where to find it: At 2100 Stephens Ave., in Stephens Center. Look for the storefront in the southeast corner. Don't blink. You might miss it.

Lower Dungeness Trail - Gold Greek Trail
Difficulty: Lots of hard climbs, moderate to highly technical
Location: Trailhead is 14.5 miles south of Sequim. Drive the Palo Alto Road, 2 miles north of Sequim Bay State Park on US Highway 101, to F.S. Road #28 and continue to the intersection with F.S. Road #2880. Continue on #2880 for 2 miles. Turn left at #2860. Road is blocked 1 mile from trailhead. Park at road closure and walk FS Road #2860 to trailhead.
Description: The #1 Classic Mountain Bike ride in the Olympics. This difficult 18 mile combination 2 trail goes up and down the beautiful old growth covered Lower Dungeness trail, along relatively hard single track for 6.3 miles. One then rides 3.5 miles up FS road #2825 to the top of Gold Creek Trail, which shares the parking lot with the Tubal Cain Mine Trail. Gold Creek looses over 2,000' in elevation in only 6.4 miles. It is a narrow single-track that has some exposed cliff edges, a couple of root drop-offs and a couple of short loose rocky sections. This trail is not for timid beginners - be careful. It is also open to hikers, motorcycles and horses.
The Gold Creek Trail is not entirely downhill, with some short steep climbs periodically, and ultimately ending at the Gold Creek Shelter and back to the beginning of the loop on FS Rd #2950. The full loop takes between 3-4 1/2 hours.
Instead of riding up the Lower Dungeness Trail, some people ride 3 1/2 miles up to the FS #2950 Road to Three O'clock Ridge (from the bottom of the Gold Creek Trail/Dungeness River Bridge), where there is a hard to spot connector trail 1/2 way up the Lower Dungeness Trail. There are others that ride on the FS #2950 Road to #2825, and then to the top of the Gold Creek Trailhead. And then there are others that drive to the top of the Gold Creek and shuttle car back up.

Attic door
265 Attachment(s)
Can anyone recommend an attic door/stairs that is budget friendly and that is sold in either Lowes or HD? I am installing one this weekend but I have read some things about how some are very hard to open. Thanks.
If it's like what most people do (2X a year to get and put back the 3 boxes of Xmas ornaments) then a step ladder might be enough along with a good hatch.
But if you really do intend to use it a lot... don't buy a bargain attic stair.
265 Attachment(s)
Plan to lay a half sheet of plywood on each side of the hatch for stuff to sit on.

Choice Organic Teas supports the United
Students for Fair Trade (USFT) by providing organic and
Fair Trade Certified™ tea donations and educational
literature for numerous college and university events
across the country. The USFT is a national network of
student activists and organizations working to raise awareness
and expand the demand for Fair Trade alternatives on campuses
and within their communities. The students involved in
this organization are at the forefront of the Fair Trade
movement advocating for Fair Trade products, policies
and principles.
United Students
for Fair Trade
Fair Trade is a partnership
between tea pluckers, tea traders and tea drinkers.
The Fair Trade Certified™
label guarantees:
• Fair wages for tea workers
• Safe and humane working
• Adequate housing and
medical care
• Freedom for workers to
• Absence of forced labor
and child labor issues
• Environmentally friendly
farming practices
Fair Trade USA
Fair Trade Certifier
In 2000, Choice Organic Teas became
the first tea crafter to adopt Fair Trade Certified
tea in the United States.
Choice Organic Teas partnered
with Fair Trade USA to write the guidelines that
established a Fair Trade Certification process
for the tea industry, as the hierarchy of the
tea estate owner/manager to the worker who plucks
the tea differs greatly than from the coffee
industry. Fair Trade USA previously established
Fair Trade certification in the United States
for the coffee industry in 1999. Fair Trade
certification addresses the injustices of conventional
trade, which traditionally discriminates against
the poorest workers in economically developing
or third-world countries. Products from economically
developed countries such as Japan and the United
States cannot qualify for Fair Trade certification.
Today, more than half of Choice
Organic Teas' offerings are Fair Trade Certified,
far surpassing the numbers of any other tea
company in the United States. While we are proud
of that, we'd be a lot happier if more
tea companies joined us in this effort.
On many traditional estates, tea
workers live on the estate and toil long, hard
hours for extremely low wages. The development
of Fair Trade Certified tea standards guarantees
fair wages, respectable living and working conditions,
and a worker-managed premium. This premium represents
additional funds, which are paid by Fair Trade
registered importers like Choice Organic Teas
directly to tea workers. It empowers them to
improve their own lives. The workers collectively
decide how they wish to manage the Fair Trade
Here's how some worker
communities have chosen to use the Fair Trade
premiums received in part by the purchase of
Choice Organic Teas.
Empowering Women
The women who pluck tea on the Korakundah Tea
Estate, in the famed Nilgiri region of India,
use the funds received from Fair Trade premiums
to help support themselves upon retirement.
Now, retired tea pluckers receive a monthly
pension and funds to help build a home when
they return to settle in their native villages.
Social Empowerment
The tea workers at the Koslanda Tea Estate,
in Sri Lanka, have voted to use Fair Trade premiums
to provide their community with low interest
loans that would otherwise be unattainable.
Households have purchased propane stovetops,
eliminating hours of collecting firewood, improving
the indoor air quality of their homes, and preventing
deforestation of the surrounding area. The purchase
of sewing machines has meant a diversification
of income.
Emergency Assistance
The tea estate workers who produce our organic White Tea have chosen
to use their premium to provide scholarships
to estate children who want to attend university.
The premiums also are dispensed to tea workers
and their families in need of emergency surgery
beyond the means of the local estate hospital.
Continuing Education
The workers with the Bergandal Boerdery collective
who harvest native Rooibos in the perfect growing
conditions of South Africa use the funds received
from Fair Trade premiums to guarantee the sustainability
of their existing community programs. Classes
currently encompass HIV/AIDS education, first
aid treatment, and life skills training for

Secret Service Scandal Grows
WASHINGTON (AP) - The scandal involving Secret Service agents and prostitutes in Colombia may not have been an isolated event -- even though Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told lawmakers yesterday that she believed it was.
The Secret Service now says it's looking into whether its employees hired strippers and prostitutes in El Salvador last year in advance of President Barack Obama's visit there.
A Seattle TV station (KIRO) quoted anonymous sources as saying Secret Service employees received sexual favors from strippers at a club in San Salvador and took prostitutes to their hotel rooms.
Prostitution is legal in Colombia and El Salvador.
Senators, meanwhile, are questioning Napolitano's statement yesterday that she believed the Colombia incident was an isolated case.
Republican Lindsey Graham says, "It sort of defies logic."
He says there has to be a "cultural blueprint" in order for behavior like this to get "out of control." And Sen. Joseph Lieberman says he's heard about other examples of misconduct.

Stephens Co. Hosting Relay for Life Tonight
Stephens County will gather tonight to join in the fight against cancer.
The 20th annual Stephens County Relay for Life takes place tonight in downtown Toccoa.
Local Relay Co-Chair Jerry Snell said organizers are excited to bring the annual event into downtown Toccoa for the first time.
"Other communities have done that and it is turned out really well," said Snell. "We are going to try it and see how it goes. The program will start at 7 p.m. and we will close down at 11 p.m."
Relay will include many of the same activities as years past, with the Survivors' Walk, Luminaries Ceremony, and of course, food and fun.
Money raised through the Relay for Life goes to benefit the American Cancer Society.
Snell said fundraising for this year's Relay has gone very well.
"The more you raise, the more the organization wants you to raise, but Stephens County people have always responded just unbelievably. Our state people are amazed at how much money we raise for the number of people, especially with the economy."
Meanwhile, Snell invited everyone to come out and enjoy the night while supporting a great cause.
"Everybody is going to be touched by cancer," said Snell.
AM 630 WNEG will provide some live reports from Relay beginning at 6 p.m. tonight.

arraignment, arrest, Ash Grove MO, coach, Craig Wood, death penalty, Greene County MO, Hailey Owens, kidnapping, murder charge, paraprofessional, Pleasant View Middle School, predator, Probable Cause, prosecuting attorney, Springfield MO, Uncle Fudd, Witnesses
A spokesman for the Greene County Prosecuting Attorney's office refused comment when asked if the prosecuting attorney Dan Patterson would seek to refuse bond.
The accused killer of Hailey Owens was taken into custody the same night he was seen by witnesses abducting the child who was found dead at his house early the next morning in a plastic tote.
Craig Wood, an employee of Pleasant View Middle School, was an athletic coach and a paraprofessional suspension "teacher," a member of a bluegrass band and described by witnesses as the predator who grabbed Hailey Owens off the street as she was walking home Tuesday afternoon. Wood had been employed by the school district since 1998. Hailey never attended a school where Wood worked. Witnesses saw the abduction, described the truck Wood was driving and turned his license number over to police which led to his discovery and arrest. The witnesses also gave a detailed description of Wood's appearance. They said he "threw her into the truck like a rag doll."
According to the probable cause statement filed with his arrest the pickup truck was traced to his father, Jim Wood who told the police that his son Craig Michael Wood regularly drove the vehicle.
When police drove up to Wood's residence he was seen getting out of the truck with a roll of duct tape in his hand which he threw in the back of the truck.
Wood told police that he had come directly home from school and then changed his story and said he drove around a while. He denied having contact with Owens.
When they made a safety sweep of the house police detected a strong bleach smell coming from the basement. They then obtained a search warrant came back with crime scene technicians and confirmed that Hailey's body was in the second plastic tote they searched. The chief investigator for the Greene County Medical Examiners Office determined that Hailey had been shot at the base of her skull. She also had ligature marks on her arms. A .22 caliber spent shell was found in the basement.
You can view the prosecuting attorney's news release, felony complaint and Probable Cause affidavit if you click Probable Cause – Craig M Wood.
Wood is charged with lst degree murder punishable by death or life without parole. The Prosecuting attorney has not yet said he would seek the death penalty.
However in a press release Wednesday Patterson said he was "firmly committed to seeking justice for Hailey."
Wood is also charged with child kidnapping and armed criminal action.

RE: Vector field with ImplicitPlot ?
I'm certain there is a way to obtain a nice plot for your function, but
since you do not supply a COMPLETE example nor a valid email address you
severely limit your chances for a response.

I wish to do plot a vector field plot of an implicit solution.
Equations :
(*V[x] is a polynomial function defined earlier *)
e[x_, v_] := 1/2 v^2 + V[x];
t3 = Table[e[x, v] == e1, {e1, 0, 1, 0.2}];
ImplicitPlot[Evaluate[t3], {x, \(-2\), 2}];
This plots a nice implicit plot for various values of e1. What I wish to do
is to attach a
"sense" to the contours (an arrow that describes the direction of the
However, I am at a loss as to how to do it with PlotVectorField.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS : Is there a way in which I can "automate" the labelling of the curves
with the values
of e1 they are plotted for (something better than manually editing the
labels to the plot
each time I change the range of e1) ?

Like any other kid, 13-year-old Shaun Selagea of Prospect Heights can't wait for Halloween. And Shaun thinks this Halloween will be much better than last year, when his braces turned the day into a sticky disaster.
"Starburst is my favorite candy, but it was really hard to get out of my braces," Shaun says. "It got stuck in my braces. And this Halloween, it'll be easier for me because I can enjoy eating candy better."
That's because Shaun's braces were taken off.
But for the estimated 4 million kids in the United States who are being treated by an orthodontist, Halloween can still be a fun day.
"Kids with braces can still have a good time, they just have to be more careful," says Dr. Lee Graber, an orthodontist with practices in Kenilworth and Vernon Hills, and who is on the board of the American Association of Orthodontists. "Halloween is a great time to dress [up], but you want to do it in a fashion where you're maintaining a healthy smile."
Candy is bad for teeth. It can create bacteria in the mouth if children don't floss or brush regularly after eating sweets. That bacteria, sitting in a child's mouth, can lead to gingivitis and cavities.
"We want to make sure kids brush because they are more prone to catch food debris around their braces," Graber says.
Along with causing cavities, some candy can also damage a child's braces. "If kids break a wire by eating harmful candy, they can add two to six months to the process because it causes the teeth to move in the wrong direction," Graber says.
So talk to your kids about candy and the damage. Graber suggests parents go through children's candy—which is a good idea for safety as well—and remove the hard or chewy candy such as caramel, licorice, taffy, jelly beans, bubble gum, peanuts and popcorn, trading it for softer fare such as plain chocolate bars.
But there are alternatives to sweets. The American Association of Orthodontists has a complete set of guidelines and alternatives for Halloween as well as recipes for at-home goodies that are friendly to braces at www.braces.org/nohm/recipes.html.

Leg model careers are perfect for the women or man with great legs. Leg models are used for many types of advertising work. From television commercials and magazine to other editorial work, leg models are in high demand. Footwear, razors, hosiery, shorts; even beach side bathing beauties frequently make use of leg models for print and television ads.
It's important to realize that many leg models also crossover to foot modeling. When choosing a modeling agency that specializes in leg models, you might find that they also focus on foot models as well.
Shoe size is an important factor in leg modeling and when contacting companies, you'll need to know if they are looking for a specific height or shoe size.
Legs should be long and slender and free of any visible veins, scars, stretch marks, or other blemishes. The skin should be smooth and flawless with an even skin tone.
Some leg models have well defined calf muscles, giving the legs an athletic appearance, while others are well toned but not specifically well defined or muscular.
Leg models are in demand for all types of ethnic groups and races. Leg models frequently work out on a regular basis and take extra steps to maintain the condition of their legs.
Keeping the legs elevated is an important step in preventing swelling, and most leg models will do well to regularly elevate their legs. Taking precautions in the diet and by avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and salt you can prevent unnecessary swelling, bloating, or puffiness that could cause you to lose out on lucrative modeling assignments.
When seeking work as a leg model you'll need to go through a modeling agency that focuses on this field. Not every modeling agency, or parts modeling agency focuses on legs so you will need to perform your research. There are many unscrupulous people who try to take advantage of new models, and parts models are no different.
One area in particular to be on guard is purchasing photographs. You won't need professional photographs from the beginning and if a company or agency tells you to purchase expensive photographs before signing you take caution.
Most modeling agencies will base their decision at an open call or by viewing regular snapshots.
An open call is a set time and date where the modeling agency is willing to see potential leg models, most often on a walk in basis and without need for an appointment. Always call the agency ahead of time for specific information regarding their open calls and make sure that you are on time.
For those who wish to have leg model careers they are financially rewarding, but be prepared for hard work and by making certain that you are committed to the profession, you can enjoy a successful career.

The relatively safe world of blue-chips is often considered the best hunting ground for dividend-yield-hungry investors. But for those willing to take on a bit more risk in exchange for the possibility of higher payouts and superior dividend growth, smaller companies' shares can hold considerably more promise. After all, smaller companies tend to be less researched and therefore more overlooked by the market, which means pricing anomalies can be more extreme. What's more, the high-growth nature of certain smaller company investments can power strong dividend growth.

Many breeds of coonhound will occasionally have webbed toes, I've read about it much more with Redbone Coonhounds though since they were often used in swamps.
Perhaps a question better suited on Dogster :P

I liked a lot of books christinabybaby mentioned as a teen (though I was a girl), loved Staying fat for sarah byrnes
I was also going to suggest Into Thin Air and Into the Wild both by Jon Krakaur. I think they might be appreciated by more outdoorsy boys though, so depends where you live etc.
I think a lot of books written even 20 years ago and certainly in the 70s and back can be a little hard to get into for reluctant teen readers. My mom is a children's librarian and she claims there are tons of great current y/a books and gets fed up with the usual "lord of the flies" and Robert Cormier standards.
The July issue of "the Sun" (the essay magazine) had several great essays which I think teen boys would like.
Also I love classics in general and find it depressing when they aren't enjoyed by more people However I hate Robert Cormier and "the Lord of the Flies and as a huge reader found them hard to get through...in fact I never finished "the chocolate war". (I was a girl though, perhaps the difference) I would switch up those sorts of books with more modern counterparts if I found my students unable to get through them. And perhaps stick with short stories to get in some older literature.
It's impossible to say what will speak to different individuals though.

text: Now available on my HME server (via the website EnterWebz.tv), Cribbage. You can play against the computer, or against other connected players. You can also stream live TV in the corner (or full screen) while you're waiting for your turn, or just so you don't miss anything on the news. If you don't know cribbage, it's not hard, it ends up (I didn't know it either... so there could be bugs I don't recognize). Press "info" for a summary of the rules, but basically: Spoiler You take turns as dealer, discard two of your 6 cards to the dealer so the dealer has one face-down hand (the crib) and you each have your own held hand. Play cards between you to make 3 or more long straights (3 or more points), pairs/3s/4s (2, 6, or 12 points), a total of 15 (with face cards as 10 each and Ace as 1) (1 point), or a total of 31 (1 or 2 points). When the other player can't play without going over 31, you also get a point. And if the dealer turns up a Jack he gets a point. Once nobody can play without going over 31, the playing area is reset. Once both players' hands are emptied, you then get more points based on the starting card and what you originally had in your held hand (and the dealer gets the additional "crib" hand to count up, too) with similar scoring to playing. First to 121 points wins. When you "peg" points, one of your colored pegs is moved forward on the board as you work towards that 121st spot. It's a little rough around the edges, still, but it's in pretty good shape. You can also watch somebody playing a match if you like. It generates your username from your tivo model, and "chats" what's happening in the game. In the future I'll use this multiplayer setup for more games. I plan to enhance it with a select-a-phrase chat system, avatar selection, and more "entertainment" options beyond streaming live TV. PLEASE let me know if you run into any bugs either in the rules or in how it runs.

Now it appears that his sister, who lives closer in to Brisbane, has also been flooded, but is able to stay in the top story of the house. I saw those beer gardens and the boats floating down the river and getting smashed on one of the CBD bridges in Brizzy. The floods have received a lot of coverage here in the UK.
The loss of crops will be devastating to your agricultural businesses. The prices of many items will have to increase a LOT to take the losses into account, I suspect.

Censuses are one of the most valuable primary resources for genealogy research. Census records provide insights into the family structure over time. They pinpoint where your ancestors resided during specific years of their lives and provide various details about them. In addition to basic personal facts for each person, census records include detailed information that can help make connections across generations.
Censuses can lay the foundation for the rest of your genealogical research. They offer clues to help you find information about your lineage and can point you to other resources to investigate.
Find your ancestor in each census year that your ancestor was alive.
Gather all information you have on each person because it may help you find those elusive, migratory ancestors when they don't show up where you expect them to be located. Rely on clues found in the censuses to guide you.
Census records are prone to a variety of errors. Misspellings are common in indexes and censuses. Also, county and state boundaries changed over time.
You may find other family members living nearby. County and state boundaries changed over time.
You may see something later that you didn't notice the first time you found the page. You will lose that information if you choose to transcribe instead of printing out the entire page.
You are bound to see differences in ages, years of immigration, and number of children living at home. The kind of information gathered for censuses varied from year-to-year and for each census type. Also, the dates censuses were taken varied from year-to-year.
Census pages don't indicate who gave the information and may not be entirely factual. Instead, consider these leads. Be sure to compare census details with other resources.
The Wisconsin Historical Society has census records for the United States (1790-1940), Wisconsin (1836-1905) and Canada (1836-1901). The Society also owns special U.S. Federal Schedules for Wisconsin including Mortality, Agricultural and Industrial. Censuses are official, periodic counts of populations including such information as age, gender and occupation.

Eastern Egg Rock, Maine • Wanted: puffinologists. No experience necessary.
The Audubon Society wants bird lovers to contribute research to a project scientists hope will help save Atlantic puffins from starvation in Maine.
There are about 1,000 pairs of the seabirds, known for their multi-colored beaks and clownish appearance, in Maine. Audubon says the number of puffin fledging chicks has declined in the last two years, possibly because their key food source, herring and hake, are leaving for cooler waters. Puffins are on the state's threatened species list.
Audubon maintains three web cameras on Seal Island, a National Wildlife Refuge in outer Penobscot Bay, 22 miles off Rockland and one of the key puffin habitats in Maine. Volunteers are being asked to watch the puffins feed and answer questions about their feeding behavior, said Steve Kress, director of the National Audubon Society's seabird restoration program.

Taste trumps health benefits for blueberry buyers, sending a strong message that fruit consumers value flavor most, new University of Florida research shows.
About 61 percent of blueberry consumers buy the fruit for its flavor, while 39 percent do so for psychological reasons, according to two national online surveys. By "psychological," researchers mean those consumers may buy blueberries because they believe the fruit, which contains antioxidants, provides health benefits.
A professor and assistant chairman of the Department of Animal Sciences has been named associate dean of the University of Florida College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.

CHICAGO (AP) A day after their bats were silenced, the Chicago White Sox bounced back on Saturday night.
Dayan Viciedo homered and drove in four runs, Alex Rios delivered a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning, and the White Sox rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-6.
The White Sox knocked out 14 hits after mustering just three in a 10-inning, 1-0 loss Friday night.
''It's a confidence boost for the offense,'' White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. ''You can sit there and hang your head and not do anything about it, but they have the ability to take it day by day and not let yesterday affect today. It's a credit to these guys.''
With the game tied 6-6, Gordon Beckham led off the seventh with a single and stole second. After an intentional walk to Paul Konerko, Rios put Chicago ahead for good.
Addison Reed got Corey Hart to ground into a force out to leave the bases loaded in the eighth and pitched a scoreless ninth for his ninth save in 10 chances. The Brewers stranded 10 runners.
Viciedo, who entered 7-for-53 (.132) with one extra-base hit and one multi-hit game in June, had three hits including a two-run homer that gave the White Sox a 4-2 lead in the fourth.
''It feels great,'' Viciedo said through an interpreter. ''It's been a really tough month, but as far as that affecting my confidence it's just one of those things you got to keep going at it, keep practicing, and it will turn around.''
Jesse Crain (2-1) earned the win. Jose Veras took the loss (3-3).
The Brewers built a 6-4 lead in the sixth, batting around and scoring three times. Aramis Ramirez led off with a single, and Will Ohman relieved Dylan Axelrod after the White Sox starter hit Rickie Weeks with a pitch. Pinch-hitter Martin Maldonado singled home the tying run, Cody Ransom singled in the go-ahead run, and Carlos Gomez capped the rally with a sacrifice fly.
The White Sox tied it in the bottom of the inning. Rios led off with a single, stole second and scored on Viciedo's RBI single. Orlando Hudson knocked in Viciedo with a two-out double.
Rios finished 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.
Axelrod was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday and made his second start of the season in place of Philip Humber (right elbow strain), who went on the 15-day disabled list. He allowed five runs - four earned - in 5 1-3 innings.
''I hadn't pitched in nine days so it was good to get back out there,'' Axelrod said. ''The offense picked me up at the end there.''
The Brewers opened the scoring in the second on a defensive miscue. George Kottaras doubled down the left field line, and Viciedo misplayed the carom in the corner, allowing Aramis Ramirez to score from first.
Chicago responded in the bottom half with back-to-back RBI singles from Viciedo and Alexei Ramirez to take a 2-1 lead.
Milwaukee tied it in the third on an RBI single by Ryan Braun. The hit extended Braun's overall hitting streak to 17 games and his interleague streak to 27.
Beckham had three hits, including an RBI single in the eighth to cap the scoring.
Aramis Ramirez singled twice and scored twice, extending his hitting streak to seven.
Leadoff man Norichika Aoki had three hits, scored twice, and tied a Brewers franchise record with four stolen bases.
''I think that's a big part of my game, being aggressive on the bases and going after the next base,'' Aoki said through an interpreter.
After a red-hot May, in which the White Sox tied a franchise record with 18 wins, they are 8-12 in June.
NOTES: Braun served as the designated hitter for the second time this season and fifth in his career. ... Before the game, Milwaukee placed Shaun Marcum on the 15-day disabled list because of elbow soreness and activated Travis Ishikawa (oblique strain). ... White Sox OF and leadoff hitter Alejandro De Aza had the day off. ... The Brewers and White Sox will complete their three-game series on Sunday with Michael Fiers (2-2, 3.46) opposing Jose Quintana (2-1, 1.53).

Sudden rough idle and coolant spray from driver"s side of the block
I'm usually able to find out what's going on with my jeep using search, but this one has me stumped:
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE
2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I was driving into work today and heard a clattering sound, as if a small part fell off the engine.
I pulled over immediately and noticed a very rough idle and steam coming from the driver's side of the engine. I shut it down and saw the forward driver's side of the engine bay was coated in antifreeze.
I got the following codes.
Can't remember the other one, but it was basically a bad crank position sensor (P0323?), In fact I was on my way to replace the sensor when it happened.
Prior to this, we were experiencing an intermittant stall, due to the CPS, and in the past week I have changed the fuel pump and filter. Other than that the car started, idled and ran perfectly.
What should I be looking for to diagnose the coolant loss and rough idle?

Re: Sudden rough idle and coolant spray from driver"s side of the block
P0456 = small evap leak. You will have to check the lines coming and going to/from the evap canister for leaks and also the gas cap.
For the coolant leak, you will be the only one who can see where the coolant is coming from. When you can´t find it, fill the system and let the engine run and see if you can find it now. Check the radiator side caps (the plastic tanks), the hoses etc.
The rough idle can come from the bad crank sensor.
