Does my tea kettle feature an auto-off option?
Model 6400
Model 6400 does not feature an auto-off option. It will continue to boil until the unit is unplugged. The auto-off feature is a feature that means there is a thermostat which will cut out if the tea kettle boils dry. The thermostat will continue to cycle on and off every few seconds until it is unplugged. To prevent damage to the teakettle, do not allow the product to boil dry.

A/C outage closes Desert Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce
DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. - The air conditioning went out at the Desert Hot Springs Visitors Center/Chamber of Commerce offices Tuesday afternoon.
Officials posted the outage on the chamber's FB page around 12:30 p.m.
Due to the extreme heat, the building has been temporarily closed. Officials said the office will reopen for summer hours once the AC units are up and running again.
There was no estimated time for when the air conditioning would be fixed.
Chamber officials apologize for the inconvenience and remind everyone to stay safe, cool and well-hydrated in this summer heat.
News Channel 3 and CBS Local 2 will let you know when the building is back open to the public.

Tree planting, tree hugging - we are always game for anything arboricultural. So naturally, the forthcoming Festival of the Tree at Westonbirt arboretum holds great appeal. One of the highlights of the week-long event, near Tetbury in Gloucestershire, is a tree-sculpting competition where logs from the 600-acre site will be chiselled, chainsawed and chopped into works of art. The results will then be auctioned off, with some of the money going to Bristol Charity Tree Aid. Adults £8; children £3 (01666 880220; forestry.gov.uk/westonbirt)
· School's out, but canny parents will already be thinking of next term's uniforms before the shops run out of their children's size. Handily, Ethical Consumer magazine has just published a list of school uniform retailers, rated on a scale of one to 20. Top is organic, fair-trade mail-order company Clean Slate (17/20; cleanslateclothing.co.uk), which Good Buys reported on last year, and which now stocks real cotton gingham dresses (right - hard to find, we assure you). Next on the list is National Schoolwear Centres (nationalschoolwearcentres.co.uk) with a modest 10. Of the high-street stores, M&S and Next are recommended, but score just 8.5 and 8 respectively. Could do better, no?

Who Else Could Join the Pirates in September?
The Pittsburgh Pirates recalled Kris Johnson, Travis Snider, and Kyle Farnsworth this morning on the first day that rosters expanded. The active roster is currently at 28 players, and the Pirates can expand that up to 40, using everyone on the 40-man roster if they wanted to. Clint Hurdle has said the team would only expand to about 35-36 players this month, and that the expansion would be in stages. Below are some of the players who are candidates to join the Pirates in September, along with their estimated arrival.
Disabled List
The Pirates will have a few players returning from the disabled list throughout the month of September.

A seemingly unending string of hot, sunny days produces an ideal environment for growing tropical and subtropical fruit at the southern tip of Florida.
Two unusual tropical fruits—lychee and longan—are now important commercial crops there. In 1996, Florida growers harvested 1.37 million pounds of lychees, valued at $2.75 million, and 875,000 pounds of longans worth $1.75 million.
Last year, scientists at the Agricultural Research Service Subtropical Horticulture Research Station in Miami, Florida, ensured the status of these fruits as viable commercial crops by proving that neither the longan nor the lychee hosts the dreaded Caribbean fruit fly.
Entomologists Michael K. Hennessey (now with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) and Walter P. Gould were aided by entomologist Jennifer L. Sharp and plant pathologist Raymond G. McGuire.
"Florida lychee and longan growers ship their fruit throughout the United States," says Hennessey. "But California had considered putting an embargo on the fruit because it was thought capable of harboring the Caribbean fruit fly."
Working with the Lychee and Longan Committee of the Tropical Fruit Growers of South Florida, Inc., Hennessey and Gould developed a protocol that proved neither fruit to be infested by this pest. It has been approved for use in California.
"This could very easily have been a case of an internal quarantine of two fruit crops that are easy to grow here in south Florida," Gould explains. "But with the help of local growers, we proved that these fruits pose no agricultural risks."
The reddish-looking, exotic lychee, a favorite fruit in Southeast Asia, is about the size of a walnut and easily peeled to expose sweet insides that can be eaten fresh, canned, or dried. Also sweet tasting, longans are about the size of grapes and grow in bunches. A hard, tan-colored peel covers white fruit that clings to a single seed.
For the research project, south Florida growers supplied fruit from six lychee groves (Mauritius and Brewster varieties) on early-, mid-, and late-season sampling dates. Of the 450 fruits collected, a third were held as a control, while the remainder was exposed for a day to numerous fertile female Caribbean fruit flies.
"We confirmed the fertility of the flies by exposing them to guava, in which the flies readily lay eggs," Gould explains. "We also made cuts on one group of lychees, providing an enticing place for egg laying."
But, to no avail. After exposure, the lychees were held for 30 days to allow time for any eggs laid in the fruit to hatch and emerge as maggots.
"After carefully inspecting each lychee, we found no maggots or larvae, indicating that no eggs had been laid," says Gould. "During the 2-month fruiting season, we also placed fly traps in each sample grove and inspected them weekly. We found no flies."
Hennessey and Gould repeated the procedure with Kohala longans—and again with top-quality longans and lychees from the packinghouse.
"Again, we got the same results: no flies," Gould reports.
Using guava as a control, Hennessey tried one more test: covering bunches of longans and lychees on the trees with pollination bags holding five fertile Caribbean fruit flies.
After 24 hours, there was no evidence that the flies had infested the longans or lychees, but they had attacked the guavas. After 30 days, there was still no sign of attack on the longans or lychees, but the guavas were heavily infested.
As a backup, in case the fruit had become infested, McGuire evaluated fruit quality after irradiation and a cold treatment, developed by ARS, of longans and lychees. Both fruits held up well under irradiation, maintaining acceptable market quality. However, chilling caused surface discoloration of longans.
"There's an expanding market for tropical fruits, in part because health-conscious consumers are including more fruits and vegetables in their diets and want a variety to choose from," says Hennessey. "Our aim is to keep that supply plentiful." — By Doris Stanley, Agricultural Research Service Information Staff, 128 Smallwood Village Center, Waldorf, MD 20602, phone (301) 893-6727.

Colorado Springs standoff ends in arrest
Suspect found, but not at his home
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - After an hours long standoff in Colorado Springs, the man police were looking for answered his cell phone and told officers he was not at home.
Police were trying to track down Gregory Anderson, 29, after obtaining a warrant for him on charges of domestic violence stalking and violating a restraining order.
Officers arrived at his home at 416 1/2 Iowa Avenue, near Platte and Boulder, at about 4 p.m. Tuesday after getting information that he was there. Eventually the SWAT team was called in, and K-9 units, a flash-bang, and a loudspeaker were utilized throughout the evening.
Streets around the home were shut down for several hours.
Police said they had been trying to call Anderson's cell phone, and he eventually answered close to 9 p.m. and told officers he was near Circle and Galley. He agreed to meet with police and was arrested.

Photography is both a profession and a hobby for a lot of people. With the proliferation of built-in cameras in smartphones and tablets, it's become inevitable that photography itself has exploded to become one of the most common activities in day-to-day life. Most people don't think of themselves as photographers, though, when they whip out their smartphone and snap a photo. And, a lot of them don't follow the time-honored etiquette that professional or enthusiasts adhere to without much though. So, today, we'll discuss a few tics that newly-minted smartphone (or mobile) photographers have that drive people up the wall.
1. Don't photograph strangers — If you're in a fairly public area and the people are not your primary subject (such as photographing at a parade or just a candid "daily life" street photo) then most people won't be bothered. However, if you happen to see someone wearing an outfit you like or doing something you think is interesting, it might annoy them to suddenly become the subject of your photo — especially if your photo is being taken with the intent to mock them over the Internet later (such as is done with the "People of WalMart" site).
2. Photographing kids at play can get you in trouble — If you're passing through a park or an area frequented by children and stop to engage in photography, you may find yourself getting in hot water. So, be prepared to politely explain yourself to the parents and to show them the photos you've taken (and delete them, if requested). Exceptions are generally made to this rule for public events and places like monuments or streets where, again, the children aren't the principle subject.
3. Photography isn't a crime but… — While it is becoming more common for people to record arrests, accidents, and other activities where the police are involved, the police don't always like it. It is perfectly legal to record them in public so long as you aren't interfering with them doing their duties but they may still harass you and attempt to confiscate your equipment. So, if this happens, try to decide whether this is a battle you really want to fight.
4. Don't be a gear snob — If you happen to see someone with a camera and you're interested in discussing your mutual hobby, remember to be polite. Don't diss their gear if it's older or not the latest and greatest. Not everyone can afford the newest high-end DSLR or lenses.
5. Don't be a jerk — If someone is showing you their photo collection that they've posted online, don't immediately assume that they used Photoshop to make it look great. Editing is part of the photography process but even the most skillful use of Photoshop won't replace sheer talent in composition.
6. Don't block someone else's shot — If you see someone recording or photographing something, don't block them. And, while photobombing can be funny, try to exercise some common sense and don't overdo it. One photobombed shot is enough. Ruining their entire gallery — especially for something like a wedding — is just mean.
7. Different photography fields are different; none is better than the other — Fine art photography has its place but being a fine art photographer or a post-modern or a hipster or whatever doesn't make you better than another photographer who prefers different subjects.
8. Put the camera away sometimes — While it's easy to always have a camera with you these days, pack it in sometimes. Yes, you can photograph every meal you eat, every street corner you walk past, every thing you see but that doesn't mean you should. Put the camera away and enjoy where you are from time to time. Unless, of course, your job is to document everything for some kind of secret historical society. If that's the case, then go right ahead. Just be prepared for the strange looks you're going to get.
What are some other bad behaviors that novice or mobile photographers engage in that you'd like to see stopped? Let us know in the comments below!

Hey everyone, another newbie here from Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm inheriting an 04 WRX from my gf of 3 years (you know what's next ) and it needs some love. Now that I'm allowed to put money into it, I'm making plans and getting the car back in shape.
1) Summer is almost here and it just about needs new tires. Has crappy all seasons H speed rating, soft and squishy, upgrading to Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs beginning of next month. They're 225/50's instead of stock 205/55's but I've read they'll be fine.
2) Along with the tires I'll be getting an alignment and all that good stuff. I don't know as if my gf has ever done any of that. She hasn't in the time we've been dating and that's 3 yrs.
3) Just did the delete mod tonight and LOVE the new sound. Should I buy a corner pipe to connect the stock intake inlet? If so, who from? Seems it doesn't matter that much, just the possibility of getting colder air in.
4) Already put in a Perrin air filter when I got the oil changed a bit ago. Believe it or not, I noticed a difference (small but still noticed); probably because the stock one was nasty dirty. This whole time I thought it was being replaced when she got her oil changed...
Anyway, I read about the disadvantages of oil type filters so I dropped in at Autozone and picked up MAF sensor cleaner. I was VERY careful and cleaned that grime coated sucker. Strange thing is the car used to jerk/buck when I let off the gas too fast and when I went for a test drive tonight (after cleaning/drying), it doesn't do it any more. Strange?
-- Planned upgrades/"mods" --
5) I've read about the cat in the uppipe so I plan on taking care of that asap, likely next month.
6) It's nearing in on 90K miles and although it seems to be running great, I'll be taking it in for a full checkup/tuneup.
7) I want to bump up the boost a bit but I've read all about the ways NOT to do that, lol. I'll just be taking it in to have someone pro. tune it. I'm not sure if a Subaru dealership will do that when I take it in for the 90K tuneup but if not, I'll have it done elsewhere or have both done elsewhere.
8) I've read about the stock boost gauge not being very accurate and when I went for a test drive tonight I made sure to check max boost. I'm getting about .083 MPa which is about 12.04 PSI in 4/5th gears. From what I've read it should be running 13.5 PSI stock. So, either the gauge is off or the car needs some fixin. I hope the tuneup will take care of any issues but I'd like to put on a more accurate gauge if the stock one is indeed not very accurate. Any recommendations?
9) My gf was told during an oil change (quite awhile ago) that the radiator had a hairline crack. They quoted her at $600-700. I took a look at it myself and found no indications of cracks, damage or the like. I can get an all aluminum one for ~$350 that has good reviews but what would you guys recommend I do? Replace anyway to be safe, wait till the stock one breaks or upgrade anyway since it'll provide much better cooling which saves the car anyway? Also, the replacement procedure doesn't seem that hard but is it something I better have the pros do?
-- Suggestions?? --
I know none of this stuff is really mods but it's important stuff before I can actually think about real mods. Any recommendations on things I should do first or add to the list? Thanks for the help!

Lewisburg Fire Dept. now Marshall Co. first responder
There are 19 comments on the Columbia Daily Herald story from Nov 24, 2012, titled Lewisburg Fire Dept. now Marshall Co. first responder. In it, Columbia Daily Herald reports that:
Specially trained Lewisburg firefighters will provide life support in medical emergencies within the city, following a new mutual aid agreement between the Lewisburg Fire Department and the Marshall County Emergency Medical Service.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Columbia Daily Herald.
#1 Nov 25, 2012
im very proud that the city of lewisburg is investing in more resources for the people of lewisburg ,and at very little cost to the tax payers thank you lewisburg fire dept.for leading the way and the city council for supporting and caring for the residents of lewisburg
#2 Nov 25, 2012
which two of the eight volunteer fire departments are not first responders and why?
#3 Nov 27, 2012
farmington richcreeck
cornersville ?
you got to remember they are a volunteer dept. not paid
they have jobs and families that have to come first
being a volunteer has no paid benefits
#4 Nov 27, 2012
So are the other volunteer departments, what does that have to do with it? Why do you add the question mark? Are you admitting you are only guessing and have no facts? If so, we don't need questionable answers, we need facts.
#5 Nov 27, 2012
South Marshall VFD,Farmington Richcreek VFD,Five Points VFD. It takes alot of training to be a firefighter these days. When you add First Responder,it's more time consuming. You have to be train by EMS and pass a National Registry test.
#6 Nov 27, 2012
And since it is volunteering, that can lead to a larger turnover and thus wasted money for training. Those that stick it out, decide after getting training to move on to a paid department and again, the need to train more first responders arises. Maybe it's time to think about compensation to those responders once trained to keep them?
The other problem is because it is volunteer there is no continuity between departments. Each one is ran by a Chief that many times is looked upon as an overlord because each Chief runs things their way or the highway.
There needs to be a single operating plan and all departments ran under the same rules to weed out cronyism and dictatorships.
Just a thought.
#7 Nov 27, 2012
if you truly want facts ask them and you shall find facts until then dont worry about it
#8 Nov 27, 2012
Well thanks for stating the obvious. How do you know none of them look into Topix? Oh... you don't. Since you are out of the loop, I'm lost as to why you are even responding. You obviously are not a responder, nor volunteer. And if I wanted advice on what to worry about, you'd be the last one to ask. Obviously.
#9 Nov 27, 2012
obviously i dont give a damn and for your info i am a responder its not my job to know all departments that are in the first responder program
but i still appreciate all that give there all because thay dont have to .just be grateful that there are people out there waiting to answer the call thank you
#10 Nov 27, 2012
Well aren't you a peach. A rotten one. You just said in your previous post "if you truly want facts ask them". And now you admit you are one of "them". If you had any lick of sense and profession, you could have found out and provided us (those reading) the correct information. Instead you act like a dick. I feel bad for those who you might come into contact with on a call. You sure don't understand what being a professional means.
Bottom line, volunteers are a reflection of their leaders. You proved a point of what the volunteers are lacking. Good leadership.
#11 Nov 28, 2012
You call yourself a first responder? And this is how you act? Let's not over look your inability to do something as simple as using proper sentence structure. This is evidence of your lack of education and attention to detail. Which also says if you really are a first responder, chances are you are going to make mistakes that may even take a life. I agree with the above poster, if you are the example of your fire department, there are some serious problems. I hope there is at least somebody with authority looking in on this. I for one would certainly not want to be in a bad accident in your county.
#12 Nov 28, 2012
this will be the last statement i will post
first of there was a question mark after cornersvile i was not sure of this
i left it that way,because i was not sure of it
but i do have some facts for future readers there is a first responder program coming up next year
that all fire departments will have an oppurtunity
to send people in theyre area .each dept. will have to purchase books and fees for state and testing .as far as my writing goes my education came from marshall county and when im called to do my job its done .it was nothing wrong telling people to go ask the depts. about this they love having the public come ask questions so thanks for the unneeded typing
#13 Nov 28, 2012
No offense to you, but I hope your inability to write and spell properly is not a reflection of your ability to learn proper life saving techniques. I truly am not making fun of your writing; fire fighting and life saving is serious business. The leaders of all departments, both paid and volunteer should stick to the same strict hiring guidelines. I understand that volunteer stations are always short of volunteers because of the lack of pay, and the continuous push of fundraising and begging the public for money. And then there is the time lag of not having someone at the ready which only increases the odds of losing both structures and lives. This is something the county really needs to think about in the future.
Do yourself a favor and work on improving your education.
#14 Nov 28, 2012
P.S. Thanks for volunteering. We don't say it enough.
#15 Nov 28, 2012
I do not do the internet too much but I did notice something that stuck out like a sore thumb:
I noticed the one poster from Columbia tries to run topixs and guide the opinion to his and his only.
Sad people like him can not function in the real world and resorted to living on topics.
Anything with a Columbia location is put on total disregard by me.
The guy is a bully on the net and as for in the real world....that is why he is here on every subject.
#16 Nov 28, 2012
And can't help to see the guy from Lawrenceburg who pushes his political askewed agenda on others in a repeated pathetic attempt to belittle those who are struggling in life. And don't fret, I'm not sad and I function just fine. Unlike you, when I present ideas and opinions, I back it up with forethought and facts. At least I attempt to resolve problems, not just be part of the problem like you. For instance, what is you point here? To belittle me? Oh, I'm hurt. Boo hoo. Get a pair and man up. Please feel free to disregard this, too.
One more thing, I don't have the market on the Columbia servers my cable company uses. It's a big world.
#17 Nov 29, 2012
I for one am pleased about the first responder program here in Lewisburg. If it can help to save a life then it is a useful program. My only questions is how will the first responders get to their appointed patient. If it is in a fire truck that does not get very good mileage and puts wear and tear on that expensive equipment then this program needs to be looked at again. If it is in a car, a van or a smaller vehicle then that would be the economical way to fund this project, otherwise it is costing much more money that what the city originally intended would be my guess. Just my opinion.
#18 Nov 29, 2012
And since the responders are volunteers, what's to say they will even be available when needed? With a paid force, there is always one on call at the station, but not at a volunteer station. And if it is a car wreck, a truck needs to go anyway. I understand that is how other counties handle wrecks. A truck is always called out but Marshall county has always held back because of the cost.
#19 Nov 29, 2012
i know it will cost a little but the outcome is priceless
look at what we spend at the recreation center and the water department its time to invest in the city of lewisburg people not the mismanagement of other goverment agency this is good there are other citys that have fire trucks out for this and many other things thanks for caring stop worrying about the trucks its a life
that may be at risk

Young Heart Disease and Transplant Survivors Come Together at Picnic
Out at Lake Wauburg, The Broken Hearts of Florida's 5th annual May Day Picnic was held.
Young heart-disease and transplant survivors gathered along with their families for a day of fun and friendship.
Physicians, nurses, therapists and other caregivers from the UF Health Congenital Heart Center and Children's Hospital were also in attendance.
Survivors said today was the perfect day to showcase their scars or what they refer to as their "zippers" or "badges of courage."
"When out at this picnic, you'll see this is the one chance you'll see other families and the kids are running around, going swimming, taking their shirts off, and being proud of that scar," said Candice Pridemore, the chapter leader for Gainesville/Ocala for Broken Hearts of Florida.
"Broken Hearts of Florida" is a non-profit organization that educates and connects families affected by congenital heart defects and other pediatric heart diseases.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Mmmmmm! Braaaains!
Froot Loops with WHOLE milk, thank you. Skim... *shudders*
Though I eat that most every day, anyway. XD Especially the marshmallow Froot Loops. :D
chretist wrote:Mmmmmm! Braaaains!
Did you do that on purpose because of your icon? :P
It would be bacon and eggs but silly woot didn't offer that as an answer.
Anybody who didn't choose the Nixon option doesn't have a sense of humor!!
Liverwurst on toasted rye... yum!
the point of the poll was to choose the best of the terrible options
Missing option:
Military rations. Because MREs are just so darn tasty!
Get off the breakfast.
Too bad they didn't offer french toast with carmelized bananas in a rum sauce for a choice. I would have made it for all of us this morning.
Black coffee
If they were going for terrible options, they should have added burnt fried eggs. Ugh. Nothing smells worse than burnt egg.
fruit loops with skim milk is not a terrible option
Froot Loops seems like a safe option compared to the rest of this dreck. Is it... c-c-c-c-cursed?
Cold pizza and milk
i want lox now!!!
Being lactose intolerant severely limits my choices.
There is such a thing as too much lox?
On your wallet maybe...
No laptop i want one but the tins are Great and of Good quality

charliecarroll wrote:It would be bacon and eggs but silly woot didn't offer that as an answer.
I'll pass on the eggs personally, but how about some home fries/hash browns to go with my bacon? And maybe some extra bacon to go with my bacon... Mmm Bacon...
REGULAR blueberry pancakes; buttermilk scares me
Wait a minute...all this stuff is gross!
apple pie.

Washington (AP) - Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who is considering a White House bid, says states need more flexibility to develop health care programs for the poor.
Barbour predicts costs would skyrocket under health care reforms pushed by the Obama administration and the changes would increase the number of people receiving Medicaid in his home state. Barbour spoke Tuesday at a health care event organized by a Republican congressman.
Barbour says Mississippi has held down Medicaid costs by requiring face-to-face meetings to determine eligibility for most recipients and promoting the use of generic drugs. But he says many states struggle to receive permission from the federal government to make changes to their programs.
Barbour is expected to announce within weeks whether he will seek the GOP presidential nomination.

A Hiker's Tabloid
Outdoor Enthusiast
Bronwyn Potthoff
With a diverse landscape, Maine is a playground of outdoor activities. As an outdoor enthusiast, Bronwyn spends her waking hours exploring Maine's natural terrain. She hikes the land and navigates the water, allowing it to guide her next voyage. According to Bronwyn, depending on where you are, it's just better to get around on foot, bike, or kayak.
SPOON was a 100 Mile Wilderness thru-hiker. Like many of his (or her) Appalachian Trail (AT) and 100 Mile Wilderness thru-hiking companions, SPOON maintained communication with other hikers by scrawling messages in notebooks kept at AT maintained shelters. Most hikers adopt trail names. RAGS, RidgeRunner and Whatdoesntkillyoumakesyoustronger, were a few recent contributors to the journal found at the Carl Newhall lean-to in the conservation lands of north central Maine. Some journal entries exposed intimate stories of why the hiker chose the challenging corridor. Other entries bemoaned of sore feet. And some entries, like SPOON's, alerted others to mischievous local wildlife.
"Beware of the squirrels."
The erratic piles of pinecone bracts along the trail to Gulf Hagas were evidence of red squirrel activity, as described by SPOON and others. And the angry chatter and clucking from the trees were a small, but constant reminder that 100 Mile Wilderness in Maine is just that - an uncultivated region dominated by wildlife. A narrow trail ribbons through the 100,000-acre swatch of land that is the final stretch of the AT from Monson, Maine to Mount Katahdin. Moose outnumber people three to one in this region, and you're more likely to encounter a small snake slithering across the trail than another human being along this corridor into the wild.
My hiking companions were Matt and our six-month old Shepherd/Husky, Pemi. We encountered not one, but four snakes during our approximate 8-mile route past Billings, Stairs and Buttermilk Falls, to the Gulf Hagas summit. Fondly known as the "Grand Canyon of Maine," this 4-mile long gorge is often the destination hike for day trippers. Many day hikers leave from Hay Brook or West Branch parking areas, and travel through the remarkable stand of old growth white pine called the Hermitage. They then cross Gulf Hagas Brook to reach Screw Auger Falls, the first of the falls when entering from the east. Matt and I had chosen the less popular western approach, for which we were rewarded. By the end of the trip, our wildlife count included seven snakes, four moose, one (dead) mole, a handful of toads, countless hummingbirds and too many red squirrels.
Spiced rice was the hot menu item of the night. Since we had the spot to ourselves, we decided to cook at the lean-to, but set up our tent across the river at the designated tent site. Matt filtered water at the brook, I dug through my pack for the tent and Pemi rested in the wooded shade. Even with full packs, the hike to the campsite had been relatively forgiving. Elevation gain was gradual, and the trail was well-kept. The major elevation changes occur during the last mile to the summit and back down to the campsite.
During dinner, I flipped through the journal we found at the lean-to. Forever nosy, this is an activity I look forward to whenever we stop to rest at an AT shelter. My favorite entry was written back in October: "My girlfriend broke up with me about the same time my buddy broke up with his. So, I came here with his ex. She is amazing, can't wait to see what the future holds." As this hiker found out, the Maine woods welcomes those who are looking for respite from everyday complications. Maine backcountry makes you more resilient.
After satiating my hunger with hot rice, and my curiosity with other hikers' stories, we made our way back to the tent. Sleep came quickly, interrupted only by the sporadic sounds of small animals scampering past us to the head of a nearby game trail. Despite the nightlife, we slept well. The musky smell of Maine woods drifted through the tent, lulling me back to sleep.
Editor's Notes
Gulf Hagas, or "The Grand Canyon of Maine," is a mountain gorge on the Appalachian Trail. This 8-9 mile loop is one of Maine's 14 National Natural Landmarks with stunning slate walls and many waterfalls. Hikers and expert (class 5) whitewater kayakers find this gorge to be a challenging and exciting adventure. To locate all of the landmarks, see the map.
Billings Falls is a 15-foot waterfall with unobstructed views of the Gulf Hagas canyon. The falls offer a peaceful spot for hikers to take a well-deserved rest and enjoy the stunning views.
Stairs Falls is a 4-foot extensive system of cascades falling over jagged little steps. Only a few feet from the main trail, the stairs are a small, but impactful natural geological feature.
Buttermilk Falls is a 10-foot waterfall with a large pool that hikers often swim in during the summer. Passers-by enjoy the cool, fresh mountain water, as it offers relief from a tough hike on warm, summer days. Many people also enjoy the relief offered from the small, but deep, dark pool of Screw Auger Falls at the drop of Gulf Hagas Brook. 100 Mile Wilderness is a well-known, heavily attempted section of the Appalachian Trail, and is generally considered the most wild and difficult section. It is a challenge that attracts serious hikers from all over the world. 100 Mile Wilderness runs between Monson and Maine's tallest peak, Mt. Katahdin.
Day hikers can also experience the Appalachian Trail (AT). There are countless day hikes along the AT that you can enjoy from many towns such as Bethel, Rangeley, Carrabassett Valley, Greenville and Millinocket. You could easily embark upon a scenic hike by day and be back in time for supper.
Camp out under a vast blanket of stars, or relax in the cozy comfort of a genuine log cabin. Maine is the perfect place to discover all sorts of campgrounds, RV parks and great rental units like cabins, cottages and lodges. Check out: campmaine.com, www.campwithme.com, www.themainehighlands.com.
Take in the beauty of one of Maine's pristine state parks. It's an unbeatable camping opportunity that's great for a trip with friends or the whole family.

Shadowrun Returns - Whats Happening and Whats Next?
Harebrained Schemes has released a new post-funding update for Shadowrun Returns. In the update they go over future goals, and the various problems of the current version.
Development of Berlin art is already underway, and our design team is also starting to prototype gameplay and mission ideas for the Berlin campaign. Were targeting late October for the release of Berlin.
So early in development and already a release date. Only 3 months seems short for a new campaign.
Yes, that unfortunately indicates that Berlin will hardly be more complex, nor longer than dead man switch.
Lot of work has been announced with this info by HBS. I wonder who pays for this insane amount of man-hours? Excellent sales might cover costs for these, but how good are the sales?
I'm pretty sure they've been reckoning on Berlin well ahead of time regardless of the newsblurb considering it was reached in the original KS as opposed to just some recent thing out of the blue---plus there's the whole bit where now the core engine/game is situated as opposed to the original campaign that they had to build in parallel to the engine editor outright. I expect it will add a good smattering of various new and deeper bits to the mix overall as opposed to just some new art pieces and another storyline.
So from this newsbit it doesn't seem like they will be focusing on the save issue at all. I haven't even seem them acknowledge that it is an issue. Head in the sand much?
You have to adjust your playstyle to the game. At least I did, easily. You figure out how long you have to game when you sit down, and when you hit a new area and it auto-saves you guess conservatively and don't continue on if you don't have time to.
Save points vs. save whenever is a design decision. I do prefer the latter, myself, but it is so not a deal-breaker for me.
I don't need a save anywhere option but a save on exit should be mandatory in all games IMO.
Losing progress because real life comes calling is ridiculous.
Then there's the issue of wether the game is compelling enough for me to not mind replaying areas. Sadly at this point SRR is not.
It's not bad but its not wowing me. Seems pretty simplistic and is making me want to play XCOM rather than continue playing it.
I vow to finish though and will push on. Hopefully it gets more complex but if not at least it's short.
I truly hope the new campaign adds a save on exit option.
I've no idea why SRR is drawing so much critical praise from game journalists. If a middle or eastern European developer released more or less the same thing as "Die Genericski Cyberpunken" than SRR's shallow environments and farcical save system would have it laughed off Metacritc.
What did they spent the budget on? I hope it was drink and whores because then at least they didn't waste it.
For a game that only cost $15-20 I can't get mad at it. This is a budget game and I didn't except anything spectacular. Now if I paid the usual $55-60 then I would have a problem.
To be fair though XCOM is strategy whereas SRR is more RPG.
It's just an editor with potential *if* it get's community support coupled with a brief early '90s point-and-click adventure game masquerading as an RPG and not:
"[O]ne of the most satisfying and complete tactical roleplaying experiences to come out [in] the last few years." - Hardcore Gamer Magazine (9/10)
"Judged purely as a standalone game, it's an unambiguous success." - Eurogamer (8/10)
And for balance:
"As an RPG, however, Shadowrun Returns falls flat on his stomach" - Game Star 6/10
"A perfectly capable tactical RPG that's unfortunately light on both the tactics and the RPG." IncGamers (6/10)
For me personally it was worth the money, but only just barely and would have being better spent supporting Balrum or some other more conventional CRPG on Kickstarter.

In tempera painting the colours were mixed with egg, gum, and other vehicles dissolved in water, and laid upon a dry ground.
When not painting fresco he is constant to the use of tempera.
The objection to tempera, so far at any rate as northern countries were concerned, was that it suffered from the damp.
First there are the tempera pictures, or "frescoes," as he termed them.
In fresco-painting he used the methods of tempera, and the decay of his works has been severe in proportion.
"Bianca" was painted in tempera from a beautiful young American.
He displayed an old-fashioned preference for painting in tempera.
Will you kindly advise me on the tempera, of which I send a tube?
He painted in tempera and finished his work with care and deliberation.
Its general tone is bluish green with mosaic walls and floor and a wooden ceiling decorated in tempera with cufic inscriptions.
1832, from Italian tempera (in phrase pingere a tempera), from temperare "to mix colors, temper," from Latin temperare "to mix" (see temper (v.)).

While most of you were enjoying your Holiday Splendor in a fog of merry and bright, the Collins Household spent the last two weeks in a maze of dirty tissues, hot teas and a lot of terrible attitudes. Of all the crummy weeks to catch this wave of sickness around us, our family got it over Christmas.
It started with Bea the week before, who after going to the doctor was diagnosed with a sinus infection and a "touch" of pneumonia. Pneumonia. Seriously. And as it turns out, Beatrice Kate is a wee-bit sensitive to antibiotics and instead of a rash like most kids would present, Bea's reaction was entirely emotional. When she wasn't bouncing around at 2 a.m., telling us that we "needed to go do something"... She was an emotional basket case, crying and whining worse than anything I've ever seen over silly things (Who needs clothes when we go see our grandparents in the sleet anyway?!?).
Then, about two days later, I started feeling a little stuffy. But when you're a mama, the show must go on, and so I soldiered through our litany of Christmas Traditions all the while feeling like a Mack Truck had run over me. Then, on Christmas Day, Casey started coughing and sneezing. Luckily for him, most of the hustle and bustle was over, so he got to spend his sickness lounging on the couch.
So as a result, there aren't a lot of photos this year, but here are a few of the ones we do have...
The week before, we ventured over to the local museum for Santa Train, and believe it or not, Bea actually touched Santa. Granted, it was from Daddy's lap and the Fat Guy would have to do real work to get any better access, but I'm counting this as a win:
And can I get an Amen on these tights. Seriously, if there are any Hanna Andersson bigwigs who read my blog and want some undying loyalty and brand promotion in exchange for free clothes... I'll totally do it. Their clothes are Ah-Mazing:
Of course, Santa came:
And while we're not really big "present" people... I'd say the Big Guy did pretty good this year (even if 70% of the things were regifted, second-hand or homemade!):
And the mess in our living room proved that actually, no one was left out:
And a whole lot of this, which can I just say, I missed a-freaking-lot:
And now it's back to everyday life. Except now, we're in costume:

I need a good detailed maya model of a canon DSLR camera, preferably the canon t1i, I'm going to make a logo intro/stinger, and need the model so i can animate it, if anyone knows where I can find one, or is willing to make one, please let me know!
I can make one next week. You interested ?
Cheers !
Sure! that would be great! thanks!
Very well :))))
Cheers !
3alisha said
Very well :)))) Cheers !
How's the Model coming?
What format do you need it in, what size lense and how much detail? Photoreal?
Thanks, Jason
in a format maya can read so i can animate it. .obj i think will work. also the lens would be the standard kit lens, i think 18-50mm. and detail would need to be pretty high. as i would be using it for a VideoHive template where the camera spins around and there are various text place holders.
photorealistic would be ideal. but realistically i probably don't need THAT much detail.
if you can make it, that would be awesome. and i'll credit you in the template.
Which model or does it matter? I have the Canon EOS digital rebel 300d .I could use that for getting the dimensions and fine details
yeah. that would work. as long as it looks like a modern Canon Camera. that would be great!
EDIT : i just found out that .obj's don't keep texture mapping when transferred. so if you know of a file format that does and that maya will read, that's great!
or if you also send me files for mapping with instructions i might be able to do that myself if you cant get me the file texture mapped
Things are going well just doing it on spare time.. VERY Challenging. FXB is the format you'll be wanting.. I do everything in max so that should be ok you Maya . When its done I'll repost so you can have a look. btw is there a deadline? or a budget?

Another wonderful cruise on Celebrity!: Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Review by coffeelovers
Overall Member Rating
Another wonderful cruise on Celebrity!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Checked in ~ 11am and was on the boat by 1130. Our staterooms were ready by about 130. Had a lovely lunch in the Oceanview Cafe.
Had three aft cabins on deck 8. Very quiet...just a little soot on the balcony. Outstanding cabin stewards and rooms very clean and new. Was very nice to have the veranda dividers removed to make an extra big balcony.
Main dining room was consistently outstanding...food and service were top notch. We ate in Qusine one night. Our "foodie" kids loved it...adults were less impressed...music was loud and it was difficult to talk. Food was interesting...overall a fun experience and we would do it again. Coffee from Cafe al Bachio was terrific all week...loved the chocolate pastries. Molecular Bar was as amazing as ever...Milos was wonderful! Had quite a few ginger mojitos! Adults had the premium alcoholic beverage package and kids had the premium nonalcoholic beverage package. I More would say everyone at least "broke even". It was wonderful not to have to worry about a bar bill and just get want we wanted. Our wine steward in the MDR was fantastic...very attentive with great recommendations.
All good...the only weak link was Bernard's tour in St Martin. I can honestly say it was terrible. Our guide "Sexy" hardly spoke and didn't know how to use the AC for about two thirds of the trip. We actually cut our tour short and took a cab back to shopping and the ship. Tour was extremely overrated.
Continued to enjoy the live music around the ship. The comedian was very funny. Our only complaint was the piped in music in the common areas was sometimes very loud.
We have been on about ten other cruises and Celebrity continues to be our favorite with the service on the Eclipse as the best we have ever had! Less

Serves 4
Strips of salmon, deep-fried and served with a tart and spicy plum sauce, make a wonderful appetizer. The sauce needs to be very cold, so make it well ahead of time.
1 pound tail end of salmon, skinned
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
Oil for deep frying
Watercress or arugula leaves to garnish
Plum and Coriander Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1-1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
3/4 pound plums, halved and pitted
1 cup water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
Start by making the sauce. Melt the butter in a small pan, and fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes or until the onion has softened.
Stir in the coriander and cook for 1 minute, then add the plums and water. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the plums are very soft.
Purée the mixture in a blender or food processor, add the balsamic vinegar and pulse briefly to mix. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, season it generously and leave it to cool. chill thoroughly.
Cut the fish into short strips, 1 inch wide and 3 inches long. Season the flour with a little salt and pepper and spread it out in a shallow bowl. Pour the beaten eggs into a separate bowl. Heat the oil for deep frying.
Dip a few fish strips at a time into the seasoned flour, coating them completely, then dip each in turn in egg, letting the excess drip off, and fry in the hot oil. When the strips (goujons) are golden, after about 2 minutes, remove them with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper towels, and keep hot while cooking the rest of the goujons. Place the goujons on a platter, garnish with the watercress or arugula, and serve with the chilled plum sauce.

Preparing For Home Defense
Printable View
Link doesn't work for me
OK, now it works. I didn't realize I hadn't logged in.
Good stuff, and pretty simple. I really like that magazine. I love my home alarm as it has multiple ways of triggering it. It also lets everyone on the block know, something is up. The audible part is IMO more significant than the monitoring, but I like that part too.
I am looking into strengthening windows and door locks currently. Have 2 sliding glass doors downstairs and they worry me.
I read online that a sliding door has extra room in the top track so you can lift the door up and out of the track if necessary. The problem is someone on the outside can use a crowbar or another tool to remove it and come in your house. The solution is to run several screws into the top track enough to not interfere with sliding but leave them sticking out enough to prevent the door from being lifted out of the track. If you do have to remove it sometime, take out the screws.
And I've found ours left unlocked several times, so I try to check every night that it is locked.
This is for sure one of those things we all need to think about from time to time. I think we need a good strategy and practice it often.
I used to open my sliding back door, when locked, from outside all the time with a one, two push to the right. On the 2nd push, it'd open right up. Drove my husband nuts but it was unsecured like that for a long time. He finally screwed a door hinge into the track and the base of one of the doors - now it doesn't open at all...and drives ME nuts! Back when we were having break ins on my street and in the surrounding area, they gained entrance by throwing a brick through the glass anyway. One of my neighbors forgot to lock the front door one morning going to work...they got broken into that day...by a brick through the sliding glass door...
I carry as much as possible when I'm @ home or have a firearm handy but out of sight.
It's my perception that in many of home invasion, perpetrators seem to know what they are looking for.
so in many cases there is link, missing link perhaps, but there is one.
I don't bring inside your home people I don't know if you can help it.
Make sure you double check contractors and such coming inside your home, take names, call supervisors, take photos.
Believe me they do just the same to make sure they'll get paid.
Under scrutiny most people will feel the pressure to go thru the straight and narrow.
I've got security storm doors both front and back, always have a firearm on me or within arms reach, and always on me when I answer the door, and an 870 under the bed for night time use. I grew up in Gary, IN back in the 40s and 50s and even then learned SA and to always lock doors and keep them locked at all times unless you are going in or out! And when I get out of a car or truck at a gas station, the keys come with me! And if I have to go into the gas station for some reason, the vehicle is locked. SA, SA, Sa. At all times!:yup:
Good basic read BUT they didn't mention 2 of the best deterrents: alarms and dogs.

Since when is it absurd that a developer makes that anyways; one could argue it is software engineering or a science that has highly technical skills and creates something. About half of the developers I have worked with are some of the smartest people I know, it all areas not just development. Though a lot of "programmers" aren't really there, there is a big difference between a programmer and a developer.
Also as much as I think police officers are under payed those are the ones who didn't have to invest as much time into obtaining a technical degree and also continue to learn new technologies and is a horrible comparison. The teacher one is fairly more comparable but I think everyone can agree our schools are a mess.
Very true, some of my peers work places where they have basically marked all of their old products legacy that were outsourced in the past and are doing a full rewrite with developers here. One very large company that makes a lot of money printing cards had outsourced almost all of their software for many years. One of their current devs is in charge of basically just designing all new versions from the ground up; the business guys at the top wanted them to take the existing code and reuse it but after much debate she explained that it was so bad it would take longer to dissect it figure out what's going on update it and build tests instead of just start from scratch. Many companies that have outsourced in the past are suffering from this now.
Outsourcing isn't as popular as it used to be. Employers are discovering that there are all sorts of hidden costs and drawbacks to the practice that end up hurting in the long run. In other words, hiring locally is actually cheaper and better.
Outsourcing is fairly common in the industry for art assets, but not programmers.

I believe it is sufficient to physically place the jars in the right location at the ASF and they will then be automatically rsync'ed to ibiblio. If you are familiar with maven please ignore the rest; if not this will explain why this is useful. When you write a maven project you can declare in your project.xml file dependencies on external artifacts such as jar files. If those are not available on your machine, maven will automatically download them once from a central repository. This defaults to http://www.ibiblio.org/maven For this to work, maven expects the files to be stored in certain way so it knows what to look for. The default path is: ${groupId}/${type}s/${artifactId}-${version}.${type} where the variables are defined in your project.xml file. For example, for Derby version 1.0 the dependency would be: <dependency> <groupId>incubator-derby <version>1.0 and the resulting path: derby/jars/incubator-derby-1.0.jar Once the file is download maven will not check the remote repo again; there is a special version "SNAPSHOT" intended for nightly builds which causes maven to compare timestamps every time and download again if the remote version is newer. At least, that is how it works now - there are discussion on repository@ about adopting a standard repo layout but IMHO there are enough users vested already to warrant keeping the existing format.

italian translationwords you can rely on
This is not just a slogan. It is the underlying principle by which I work.
I want you to be certain that the translation will communicate your message across cultural and language barriers clearly and effectively.
In over 25 years of activity I have worked for a number of important clients, learning to accommodate their needs with the maximum flexibility. In all this time, I have never missed a deadline.
I specialize in:
- Product documentation and brochures
- Manuals and press releases
- Web sites, rich content, localization
- Certificates
I can work with most electronic formats, including Microsoft Office, Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe InDesign, HTML, CMS databases, Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal sites, XML, PDF, resource files, uncompiled help files, and many other formats to provide you with the easiest path to your Italian readers.
Whatever format is your document, I can most likely work on it.
Coming from an engineering background, and having worked in the communications, electronics, media, and IT industries, I have had first-hand experience with the subjects I translate. That's why I am confident I can offer reliability!
In order to provide you with the best quality, and really give you Words you can rely on, I have specialized in a number of main subjects, including:
- Networks, Telecommunications and Information Technology
- Automation, Numerical Controls, PLCs and Plant Engineering
- Industrial and Manufacturing Technology
- Electronic Consumer Products and Appliances
- Energy and Environment
These are just an example, and I can translate texts relating to many other subjects, including yours.
Click on contact to e-mail or phone.
italian tuitionyou can learn italian
We all love the Italian climate, art, architecture, and Italian food. You can get a lot more out of your Italian experience if you actually do speak some Italian.
Although most Italians will be more than willing to practise their English skills on you, you'll make a splash if you can say Buongiorno to them, or buy those oranges bursting with freshness from the market stall and book your hotel stay using their language.
Whether you want to learn Italian for pleasure or for work, to make the best of your Italian experience, I can offer you:
- Fun and sympathetic conversation sessions, where you can practise (and improve) your Italian, at whatever level it is.
- Tailored, one-to-one or small group tuition and teaching, with a more structured approach, so you can learn Italian from scratch, or improve it.
I will offer you the maximum flexibility, at your place or in my study room, and even using Skype or videoconferencing, if we really must. I can take you from zero to survival Italian in an amazingly short time (from survival to fluent takes a little longer.)
I want you to learn to communicate in Italian, and I will help you to develop the skills you need, and learn how to ask questions, understand and give answers, use the Internet, and discuss the subjects you are interested in.
We can use books, web sites, and many other resources, based on your needs, at your speed, and for your benefit.
Let me know what you need, and what you want to achieve, and I'll help you do it!
For more information, skip to the testimonials or click on contact for e-mail address and phone number.
in depth
the italian language
Italian is a neo-latin, or Romance language, evolved from the language spoken by the Romans. It is currently spoken by at least 85 million people.
Like all living languages, it is constantly changing and, as a linguist, I remain attentive and attuned to these changes to offer you a modern and idiomatic Italian that sounds just "right".
For more information on its rich history, click on Read More.
what is translation?
Translation is really mediation, getting it right across and transferring knowledge from a language to another, from a frame of mind to another, from a point of view to another, interpreting cultural differences to reach a clear, common understanding.
testimonialsdon't take my word for it
It was a true pleasure working with you. You are the best Italian translator with whom I have ever worked! (Izumi Otani, Project Co-ordinator, Alden Translations, UK)
"...Thank you Lorenzo - As always on time and precise, just "Lorenzo-like". (M. Pilshofer, Austria)
Lorenzo provided Italian tuition for me which was excellent. He did exactly what I wanted and was very helpful, delivering a short, intense course on spoken Italian. Lorenzo's encouragement and skill as a teacher was such that after 2 weeks I was able to deliver a short speech in Italian in Italy. I was very happy with all aspects of my dealings with Lorenzo Martinelli and would unreservedly recommend the service he provides. (A. Tinley, UK)
"Lorenzo undertook language tuition for two complete beginners prior to a trip to Italy. Apart from being the consummate professional, Lorenzo went out of his way to make every lesson different and fun. He was entirely flexible to our needs and brought the Italian language to life in a very accessible manner. His infinite patience, humour and enthusiasm coaxed nervous complete beginners into capable and far more confident Italian speakers - proved a short while later in Tuscany!" (M. Greenway, UK)

Recently, cult U.S beauty brand Smashbox hosted an event for make up artists to introduce us to their entire range of products. I was familiar with the Smashbox Photofinish Primer, but that's about as far as my experience with the brand went. Created by the great grandsons of Max Factor, Dean and Davis, the brand has recently been bought by the Estee Lauder group, hence the relaunch.
A few of my fave products from the make up artist event:
Smashbox Photofinish Primer – "A silky, lightweight blend of vitamins A & E, grape seed extract and green tea. Worn under foundation, this best-selling, oil-free primer helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for flawless skin with a velvety-smooth finish". This primer does the job very well indeed, and now comes in a bewildering number of variations, anti-ageing, hydrating, colour-correcting, the list goes on…
Halo Highlighting Wand – This is a generously sized tube of non-sticky highlighter that comes in Luminous Gold and Iridescent Pearl to suit warm and cool skin tones and I love it. It creates just the right amount of highlight, subtle, and not too shimmery. A lovely, uniform, pearlescent glow. The gold shade has made it into my own make up bag.
Softbox Photo Op Eye Shadow Palette – A handy little mini palette containing essential every day earthy tones. Russet, a soft sheen copper, Truffle, a matte taupe, Bare, a matte warm pinky nude, Sandstorm, a mauve with a soft golden shimmer, Juniper, a shimmery mustard gold and Sumatra, a matte deep brown. The pay off is good with these eyeshadows, they blend well, and with the shades included you can create a soft, neutral day time look or a dramatic smoky eye.
High Definition Liquid Concealer – This is a medium weight concealer that provides very good coverage for under eye discolouration without looking heavy or cakey. Just make sure you give the tube a bit of a squeeze first to mix the oil in the product properly. Comes in 6 shades.
Once upon a time it was very tricky to get hold of Smashbox make up, but it is now available in Boots and online from their website. Additionally, www.Smashbox.com has several short 'get the look' video tutorials on it's website.

The memory of George Galloway's humiliation on Celebrity Big Brother has clearly affected Lord Prescott.
On last night's Question Time, Prescott revealed he turned down the opportunity to appear on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! Why, asked David Dimbleby. "Did you see Galloway?" Prescott shot back. A grateful nation gives a sigh of relief that we won't ever see the burly Labour peer in a skintight leotard pretending to lick cream from an actress's hand.
