Just took a trip back in april to northern Germany, which included Hamburg and some of the surrounding areas. I took my 4 year old to Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. He loved it and it was quite amazing. I don't know if its worth a 6 hour drive out the way just to see this and hamburg?? I can't say Hamburg itself was anything special at all...industrial port city, very different than cities/town in southern germany. We spent all of our time in and around Lubeck, Plon, baltic sea, etc. The drive to Hamburg was not bad at all and I was able to open up my ford mondeo diesel wagon...120
so this would give you an opportunity to really push your new bmw. So, I would suggest perhaps driving to Hamburg then perhaps come back down the east side and catch berlin and some of the cities along the eastern side and then drop off/fly out of Munich.
If you do drive to Hamburg, I can suggest a few stops that I made. Bergen-Belsen concentration camp - Where Anne Frank died, very interesting museum and grounds. Hildesheim - Neat medieval town (stayed in a nice Novotel with great parking), has a couple churches on the World Heritage site list.

I took my 2 year old for a haircut today to the local Kids Hair franchise. It was a zoo, super busy, of course. We waited over an hour for a hair cut (well, we went next door and shopped and then came back). One woman went up and started complaining about the wait, and they were explaining that they ended up calling someone else out of turn, apologizing to her for the wait. The problem was, her kid was a "big" kid and they only had 2 big kid chairs, both in use. I look over and see these big kids. They were all boys, and all looked to be 12-15 years old. One had a 5 o'clock shadow. Isn't that a bit weird? I thought maybe they had some special issue that would make a regular salon too much for them, but then thought it was so loud and chaotic that I can't imagine a Fantastic Sam's being any worse.
Anyway, what do you think? What age is too old to go to a kids hair place?

I recently heard from Jill at Bongenre and thought her work was something lots of us may really enjoy, especially for guests and for setting the "children's table" that so many use during dinner parties when the family gets together. Bongenre is melamine tableware (bowls, plates) with a twist – it's actually quite elegant! Brooklyn-based founder/designer Jill Fenichell spent 15 years as an antique porcelain and pottery dealer specializing in English blue and white porcelain made in the 18th century.
About her designs Jill says, "I get to think about patterns I love, and work out interesting color relationships and rhythms between shape and pattern and color," she adds, "The real question is: how to connect the old to the new…that's what I want to do with my tableware."
Don't miss the Winchester Mandala pattern, available in several gorgeous colorways. I'm really into mandalas right now so these totally speak to me, especially in purple, lime, and winter (oooh) which is PERFECT for an indoor party this winter for January/February when everyone is tired of red and blue and white seems to coordinate so nicely with the snowfall. Perfect for gift giving too!
What do you think of Melamine tableware? Yes, no, maybe? Under what circumstances do you use it currently? Outdoor only? Indoor? Do you use it mainly for food or for decorating (on the walls or on plate racks)? Do you think it's a good option for dinner parties when breaking out the china isn't something you feel up for and paper plates are definitely not on your menu? Is Melamine the happy 'in-between' option for you or…?

Getting a 200Amp Square D OQ Panel. What about surge protector?
The electrician who will be installing a 200Amp Square D QO panel (as an upgrade) is not very convinced that a whole house surge protector (WHSP) is worth it because he's seen many devices damaged due to surges despite the WHSP. I still want one just for added protection even though I will have point-of-use protection for the entertainment center as well as the computer equipments. He doesn't have one to recommend, so I told him that I would supply it to him when he does the panel installation next week. Now, the question is... which one?
I'm agonizing over following choices:
1) Since we are installing Square D panel, I naturally first looked at their protectors. After reading specs and finding prices, I think the panel board SPD (QO2175SB) is our best bet. $92. 900 Joules. 27,000Amp Max. 2 year and up to $10,000 warranty. Pros: Least intrusive (just a breaker) Cons: Need to order online, low Joules rating.
2) Eaton Complete Home Surge Protection (CHSPT2MICRO) from Home Depot. $60. 1890 Joules. 36000 Amp Max. Covers Appliances replacement cost (secondary to insurance). No mention of years (really?). Pros: higher protection, cheaper, local home center purchase, seemingly better warranty. Cons: need to be screwed to a knockout hole (need room outside of enclosure) or put inside the panel (use up precious room).
3. An apparently no-name brand Delta Surge Protectors out of Texus. I only heard of them after reading one post or two on GardenWeb. Pros: much cheaper ($150 total for a package including Lightening Arrestor, Surge Capacitor, and Data line protector); Highest protection of all three (2,000 joules and 60,000 Amp Max on the lightening arrestor). Cons: Also will take room either outside or inside the panel enclosure; Not sure if UL listed (uneasy about it); No damage warranty coverage (other than replacing the unit itself).
What would you choose? Or any better suggestions?
Along the same line, one more question: I will be installing an expensive (to me) induction cooktop and would really like to have that one specifically protected. It needs to be hardwired. Is there anyway I can provide an extra layer of surge protection for this circuit itself? I went through Square D QO circuit breakers and could not find one that integrates the surge protection.
Sorry about the long post. Thank you for reading.
I just used the Intermatic on mine. The Eaton is a good one. Most of the time, they are attached to the panel board, that you attach the load center on. The Intermatic attaches directly to the side or bottom of the LC. It is your choosing. Now, you can also check with your POCO to see if they offer the ones that go between the meter & the meter can, but those are the pricier ones.
Thanks Greg. The local HD does not stock any WHSPs, so I just placed the order on the Eaton. I can still return it if I change my mind before the installation, but it appears to be a good choice.
Cutler-Hammer has panels with the surge protection module built-in.

Half Lap Sill Plate Join
63 Attachment(s)
Background... I have a sunroom that I wanted to add a level on to make it two stories. I tore the old sunroom down to get to the top of a fieldstone and cinderblock foundation so that I could fill the open cell cinderblocks with concrete. That's done with the exception of where the J-bolts will sit. I'm starting to rebuild this weekend (weather permitting). The sill plate that I took out was 4x8 and want to replace it with 4x8 PT.
For the outside corners, should I half-lap the adjacent sill plates and use 1 foundation anchor running through the lap join? Will this satisfy the 3.5"-12" distance from the ends of the sill for the foundation anchor on both sill plates? The sill plate that I took out was half lap join but there were no foundation anchors.
No you shouldn't. You need a bolt on each plate within 12" of all corners and splices, but you probably can't get away with trying to kill two birds with one stone. I'd suggest two anchor bolts, each about 8" or 10" in from the outside of the corner of the intersection.
There's nothing wrong with half-lapping the mudsill, but the intent of the code is two bolts...One on each leg of a corner.
63 Attachment(s)
Thanks, if that's the case, I'll skip the extra work of the half lap.
I would. It just won't offer any benefit other than being nifty looking before you cover it up. :laughing:

So yesterday I got my craft on quite a bit. I had a couple of fails (burnt shortbread (damn oven) and an attempt at a perler bead picture which ended up going wrong and I gave up) but I did actually manage to make some things!
I finished the boy's Valentine's day card (which I obviously can't show you), which I think it awesome! I also made a couple of felt lovelies.
First off we have this cute felt bookmark from Honey & Thread. So easy but so cute.
Next we have this awesome felt hair bow from my blog crush, Wild Olive. I had to make mine a little bigger because this comb I had left over from when I did hairdressing at college (I had to make a comb crown for a competition) was a lot bigger than the one Wild Olive used.
Finally, I put my name and number on my roller derby t-shirts in preperation for the bout next week! Eek! I had some numbers left over, so I popped a set on my derby wife skirt, just to make it look awesome.
Phew busy day! Would have been even more so if I'd actually managed to bake the shortbread/make the perler bead thing!

"Beyond a one-year horizon, the longer-term impacts on the U.S. GDP are negative in all scenarios."
-- Ellen Zentner, chief U.S. economist, Morgan Stanley. Zentner ran a number of models to test the impact of imposting trade tariffs of various sizes. On Jan. 27, 2017, Morgan Stanley issued its assessment that U.S. protectionism might produce a slight short term benefit, but that the long term impact on U.S. GDP would be bad.

Hi all. Noob here. Have had my Focus since 7/11 and loving it. Just found Focus Fanatics and registered recently regarding the transmission issues, not that i'm having them myself but i can't remember what brought me here in the first place.
I'm waiting for winter to pass so i can get my car washed spic and span and take some sweet pics of it with my DSLR to add to my collection. The ones i have now don't seem to do it justice.
Loving all the pics on here btw. And am envious of the 'triangle' rims... and am considering 'blacking out' mine as well. Chrome highlights are nice, but blacked out looks menacing!
Cheers all.
When i got a clear highway in front of me, it's autobot red all the way! When i'm stuck in bumper to bumper.. i choose decepticon purple or Tron blue to mellow me out and cease the urge to kill. Ambient light. Such a small feature.. so many lives saved.

A Government minister admitted today that he failed to take his own advice about getting to work on time, after turning up late for a TV interview.
Matthew Hancock was due to appear on ITV1's Daybreak to discuss the Department for Business's traineeship programme for young people preparing for work.
Youth Fight for Jobs supporter Ian Pattison, who was due to debate with the minister, said if Mr Hancock was a jobseeker he could have been docked benefits for missing an appointment.
"Can you imagine my surprise when I discovered a minister whose Government berates so-called 'shirkers' couldn't be bothered to get out of bed to defend his own policy?" said Mr Pattison.
Mr Hancock held his hands up and admitted turning up late, and promised to learn from his own example.
"I was 30 seconds late for my interview at 6.40 this morning, so they wouldn't let me into the studio to make my case," said the Skills Minister.
"It proves the point: you've got to be on time for work or there are consequences. I'll learn from my own example."

no, seriously. There is no pause in this game.
The escape key brings up the game menu, and that's even worse because it obscures the entire center of the screen, but the game is still going on in the background. Like szokol says, it makes it pretty rough if you have to go to the bathroom or something since there's enemies roaming everywhere, it's best to just wait til you get to a town or something.
Thankfully, the respawn rate isnt as frequent as the original, you can kinda take care of business then cross your fingers and go do what you have to real quick.

PRESQUE ISLE BETWEEN THE SEASONS – – Fall's final musicDecember 30, 2011 7:35 am Leave your thoughts
It's Friday December 23rd. No work today and holiday shopping and wrapping done. I decide to go for a short walk on the park once the fine mist that has been falling since 7 a.m. stops. I recognize I will not melt; however, when I walk in hilly wooded areas, I prefer it to be a bit drier so that I do not slip and fall on the leaf-covered trails. From experience, I have learned that wet leaves can be somewhat like a ski slope.
By early afternoon, warmer temperatures move in and drive the rain out into the lake. It's in late November, so the woods have an uncanny hush about them. I plan to walk down the Sidewalk Trail, which is across from the lighthouse, for about one mile or so and then take a hidden path through the bush and ascend to the Ridge Trail for the return trip. All in all, this is about a two and ½ mile round trip. It is a great walk during the fall and early winter.
Just, a few weeks ago, the color in these woods was magnificent. The Presque Isle woods were showing a splendid glory of the red colors, from the oak and maple trees plus the cheerful yellow and light bronze colors from the cottonwood and birch trees. Now all the leaves are strewn on the ground. The air is rich with the aroma of downed leaves. It seems God has been busy preparing Presque Isle for the long winter season.
As I turn onto the small hidden path that connects the two trails, a woodpecker begins hammering on a snag or log just ahead. It is so loud that you might think it is a pneumatic drill at work on concrete. When he stops hammering, a deep hush returns to the woods. Then, almost like magic, an afternoon sun breaks through the grey clouds. Within a few minutes, I reach the Ridge Trail, and looking ahead, cannot help but notice the Presque Isle Lagoons about 100 yards to the west just over the rise. The perfectly still water is deep blue and the brilliant fall sun gives it a nearly mystic quality. It is a majestic scene with the blue water, a few green pines and the fall/winter browns of the cattails lining the water's edge. At times like this, I wish I were a painter and could paint panoramas like this in watercolors.
After I walk a bit further down the trail, I find an old fallen tree about 20 feet off in the woods. The ground here is covered with a mixture of acorns, red oak leaves, maple leaves and pine needles and cones. I sit down on the log. Within a minute or two of sitting down, I'm startled as a little field mouse runs out from under the log, jumps over my foot onto my leg and scurries back down my leg to the ground. He stops and looks back at me and then runs like a flash under another nearby log.
It is not long after that when I become aware of a low and quiet rustling coming virtually from all around me. It is not loud at first, but keeps growing louder as time goes on. I also become conscious that it is not only getting louder; it is coming closer. Suddenly, I can identify what the rustling is. Just, two feet from me standing-up on his rear legs is a little rascal with about six of his closest friends nearby. Red Squirrels. I soon begin to hear and see many more of them all over the forest floor. It seems that I have interrupted their final rush to stow away pine seeds and acorns for the winter. Nevertheless, they seem now to have learned to tolerate my company. I know they are getting into a panic mode as the days grow shorter and cooler. They're inborn instincts tell them winter is now surely not far away. I stay for about an hour and after a bit they seem to accept me as a buddy, and do not even look my way when I move around.
As I finish the walk, I think about how it would have been neat to have Steven, my grandson, along on this little afternoon trip. Steven is becoming a little fisherman and nature lover. Hopefully, he will take after his granddad and get out in nature as much as he can. Experiencing the natural world opens new realms to children. We all should encourage and join them in their exploration of our natural surroundings.

If a worker who was hurt at work can find a doctor to testify that subsequent debilitating headaches were caused by the work injury, you can expect to continue making disability payments for a long time.
Recent case: Katherine fell out of her office chair while standing up and hit her head on the floor. She had bruises and a headache. Katherine applied for workers' comp benefits and got them after her doctor testified that the fall had caused her to suffer constant headaches.
The employer tried to get Katherine's benefits terminated, arguing that she should be able to hold down a job. Her doctor testified that she could never be a "reliable employee" and would never get past a probationary period and thus was unemployable. Her benefits continue. (Williams v. Bank of America, No. COA12-965, Court of Appeals of North Carolina, 2013)

Shares in Danish hippy haven "worth more than money"
By John Acher
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Christiania, a celebrated Danish hippy enclave and heart of the Copenhagen cannabis trade, will mark its 40th anniversary on Monday and sell shares to the public to raise funds to get the government finally off its back.
Proceeds from Christiania "People's shares" will go into a fund to carry out a 76-million-crown ($14 million) real estate deal with the government which will give Christianites the right to stay on property where they have been squatting since 1971.
"This is a way for people to participate in making sure Christiania remains part of the public heritage," said Risenga Manghezi, spokesman for the share sales campaign. "Anybody and everybody can buy it."
The shares in denominations of 20 crowns and up will not give holders any stake in the property or voting rights, so buying them amounts to a donation, the organizers said.
"It gives them ownership in something that is already theirs for free, so we feel it is a pretty safe investment," said Manghezi, who has lived in Christiania for a year.
A court ruled earlier this year that residents will be allowed to buy most of Christiania, a cluster of old brick barracks and brightly painted wooden structures built by squatters, from the state to end decades of dispute.
The shares of special certificates will be sold to the general public from Monday at bars and cafes in Christiania and on the Internet at: here
They bear the slogan "worth more than money." Continued...

20l Iwagumi internal sump *11/23/2012*
how the tank sits as of 11/23/2012 http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/a...4/IMG_2955.jpg
This is going to be not only my first iwagumi but also my first ever sump build. Now given that this isnt exactly a sump in the sense that it is below the tank but this filter will combine the larger filtration of a sump with the ability to hide the equipment and still keep the reliability of a fully enclosed tank. Im starting off with a standard 20 long from petco and 60 pounds of eco complete. My plan is to do this build with nothing but HC and Seiryu Stone. This is finals week for me and this is kind of my way of staying sane in-between the constant studying. That being said im going to let my pictures do the talking.
Tank and gravel right after petco
Un amused girlfriend after I removed the rims of the tank
Here are the edges of the tank after removing glue
The edges post sanding
Here you can kind of see what the idea is going to be for the filter unfortunately they cut the wrong dimensions so back to the glass cutter to get the correct piece
I was on a trip to the southern part of the state WV to give a presentation on a proposed hydro turbine project for a rainbow trout hatchery. On the way down I snapped this picture for a lil inspiration. The lighting is poor but you get the idea very lushy green with jagged rock outcroppings.
Here is a very confused pup
My rocks came from aqua forest as well as my two sump fittings and glass drill bits
I modified the bulkhead fittings to be combined to one inlet that will be fed directly from the 200 GPH I am looking forward to having a lot of circulation without a lot of top water agitation
Here it is after drilling and installing the sump holes as well as the holes for the adjustable overflow. More to come on the over flow later.
And then painted
I glued in the baffles to go behind the black back plate as seen here
As I am working directly next to my 75 while doing all of this I had to take a quick snap
Here you can see that I have installed the sump pump in preparation for gluing the back plate in tomorrow
Looks like an interesting set up! I'm interested to see how a little bit larger tank holds up without the rim.
I want to see what you do with the sump.
Props for taking your time on your de-rim. I only have done the tops on my 20 longs and that alone takes me hours. I see many people leaving the excess silicone on. I feel like I did a good job on both mine but still managed to scratch them up very slightly, yours looks really good. I will likely never de-rim a tank because the side silicone looks bad but I just like seeing it done well.
Please post updates as you go.
Interesting build. I wouldnt worry about the tank failing. Dont remember his name but there is a thread of a member here who derimmed a 75 and it held.
Really like that internal sump idea and looks clean.. just a thought though.. couldn't you have used something other than the glass to construct the sump? Something simpler and cheaper since it was painted anyway? That way you wouldn't have to go to glass shops or such
here is where i got the idea for the sump. I saw this tank in a fish store called wet pets just outside of Pittsburgh
I always thought about doing this sort of thing. Hows the co2 gonna hold up though for something like this? Without a lid wouldnt it just gas out?
Alright so finals are over and as I would have liked them to have gone a little bit better there in the past now so time for an update!!!!!!!
…….. I should have spent more time studying Fluid Dynamics then thinking about fish tanks :-(
Here is the glass finally glued in
These are some pictures to show the executed overflow design that is completely removable and adjustable
Here is the rear of the tank running and the front of the tank filled.
Unfortunately as I should have known the paint didn't stick as can be seen here
I did a test with a better paint and sanding the glass on one of the circles I cut out. Paint stuck great until submersed and then it had the same result.
I ended up finding a solution to this problem but that will come in my next up date :-).
Ok so the solution I came up with the background paint which has actually been working for the last 4 days flawlessly is using window tint I had left over from a car project. This is doing much better than the 20 minutes it took for the paint to peel off.
Some of the Seriyu stones I had were too large so I ended up breaking them with a sledge hammer and a wood splitting wedge. Now after I did this the rock had really sharp edges. My solution to this was to tumble the rocks over night in a solution of sand and water mostly water. This worked great to remove the dirt oxidation and sharp edges from the breaking.
I went from this
To this
And then tumbled it to look like this
Here is the scape as she sits now with the tinted background. Still not completely set on the rock setup but well see what happens.
IMHO Bigger rocks look better but the scape does look nice I'm interested to see this running...
Window tint is so much better than paint. Glad you figured it out. Looks better too.
I like the scape. I wish the right side had more going on but I don't know exactly what.
I think it would be cool if you leveled the front though. Not only is it more appealing in general (IMO) but it would make the left look higher. I don't know if some of the smaller rocks are buried but if they are, they could come up a bit.
Not trying to be overly critical, it looks great.

By September 2011, Borders Books closed their doors forever.
The company liquidated all of its assets and delivered pink slips to approximately 11,000 employees. Meanwhile, as a result of smarter strategies that recognized and accounted for changing dynamics in their marketplace, competitors like Barnes & Noble fared much better.
How can two such similar book store giants end up on such divergent paths? Examination of the downfall of Borders Books reveals strategic errors that arguably led to its demise. Such is often the result of ill-conceived strategies that failed to zig when the market zagged.
Harnessing the Power of Strategic Planning
Strategic planning helps identify market trends and customer preferences, then attenuates strategy to programs that address those trends and preferences accordingly. It establishes the correct architecture for fiscally responsible growth, and — second only to superb execution — is the single most important determinant to organizational success. Success largely depends on an entity's ability to build internal capacity and capability as a result of having planned for it to occur.
Strategic Planning Does the Following:
1. It helps define strategies that further the mission of the organization with the capacity to grow successfully. A thorough strategic planning process identifies potential growth markets that can be investment opportunities for the organization's resources. Such markets can become the next generation of revenue sources and replace those that are becoming saturated, undergoing fundamental changes that pose risk to the business, or may be experiencing decline.
2. It identifies the correct organizational priorities through structured analysis of initiatives and forces alignment of spending with those ordered priorities. For instance, as early as the 1990s, Barnes & Noble noted the growth and popularity of online book sales and e-books. The company adopted a strategy to become a player in online book sales and invested in programs to make it a major player in sales of books over the Internet. It paid off. Their early entrance into online sales arrived in time to capture market share and establish a beachhead. Likewise, Barnes & Noble developed the Nook to strategically position themselves with the market segment preferring to read e-books. Instead, Border Books ignored the market trend, outsourcing its online sales to competitor Amazon. That turned out to be a big strategic blunder for Borders. They also pumped money into physical plant capacity to support distribution of physical books, despite the declining market, and updated their retail store across their large network.
3. As described in the previous point, strategic planning aligns spending to programs that further the execution of the organization's strategy. More subtly though, strategic planning relates to hiring decisions. Hiring practices must address needed capacity to support strategic programs by supplying the business with talent that is delivered at the right time and with the right skills. The operational plans, within the strategic planning umbrella, should spell out those requirements. Additionally, strategic planning yields the benefit of adding accountability into job performance and tying incentives to the completion of goal-related initiatives. Clarity regarding roles and responsibilities relative to plan goals requires people who have sufficient incentive and understanding to execute to that plan. Employees that understand what is being done, the reasons why, when to do what, and how they can contribute become empowered team players.
4. Almost everyone thrives on having structure in our lives, especially in our work. A strategic plan helps motivate management as well as employees by giving them structure and direction. Stronger line-level managers and employees benefit the entire organization by improving upon the execution within the business operations while being a major part of the many strategic "goal-supporting" initiatives the business relies upon for fueling the future vision.
5. Ultimately, strong strategic plans help strengthen culture with improved and channeled energy. Organizational performance indicators and metrics help provide the ability to control and manage, as they signal the need for evaluation and analysis early when corrections to implementation tactics can be made more easily with fewer cost implications. With proper management controls in place, this approach allows those closest to the action to respond quickly and appropriately when it is needed — always operating within predefined spheres of control and in concert with the strategic goals. This allows them to embrace the vision and fully participate in the tactical execution.

Something from Savage in the Model 10 line which is their Law Enforcement Series. I've got an older 10FP and it shoots great.
I can't even see beyond 300 yards anymore, so I guess I'll have to stick with my Rem 700 ADL in .30-06 and its 3x9 Bushnell scope. All I can say is: Don't get within 300 yards of me if it's a nasty world out there!
For you little guys, my Rem 788 .223 will have to cut the mustard.
I have a savage 10 fp, 308 nice rifle, even for not a great rifle shot me, I can hit well with it out to my 400 meter mark on the back porch.
Came with a scope, probably not a good one, but it works.
Remember on a "sniper" type rifle that the rifle is the cheap part. A good scope is the expensive part. A rem 700 is a good base. People like .308 for availability. I like .270 win because it is a flat shooting round that packs a lot of punch
Remington 700 sendero in 308 is a good place to start. Warne rings and a sightron sIII scope and you have a rifle that 90% of shooters can't shoot at its potential.
Weatherby vanguard SII with warne rings and sightron SII scope will be more accurate than probably 75% of shooters and can be put together for right at $1000.
Savage has many excellent options as well if you like the accutrigger. They are very respectable rifles right out of the box.
I do prefer 300 win mag over 308, but I'm not at all recoil sensitive, and I don't mind the cost per round to reload the bigger cartridge. I just love the performance of 210gr VLD's with a full charge of h1000 behind them. They will rattle your teeth a little, but long range accuracy is awesome!

Almost from the moment the father of 18-year-old Johnathan Croom suggested his son might have wandered off into rural Oregon inspired by the Alaska-based novel "Into the Wild," it was hard to avoid that uneasy feeling in the gut that says "something is wrong here."
The feeling only got worse when CNN's Piers Morgan and the parents of the late Chris McCandless teamed up on television to exploit the younger Croom's disappearance.
"We have a message for the family, including Johnathan, if he's listening," Billie McCandless said. "We want to say, young man, please call your parents. No one will ever worry about you, care about you or love you more than your mom and dad."
No one should have known better than the mother of the late Chris McCandless, the subject of "Into the Wild," how meaningless those words are. Chris was one of those troubled young men who suffer mental illness in their early adult years and flee family and friends for reasons hard to explain.
If you've known parents of children who suffer from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, you know about the wanderings. If you don't, go read the blog of someone who claims to be a 'Chris' who survived.
"For years I drifted from one menial job to the next, from one part of the country to the next, from one relationship to the next," writes the author of My Schizophrenia.
"Then I had what I thought was a brilliant idea: to live by myself in a wilderness setting for an entire year. So I saved my money, traveled north to Alaska found a location for a my camp, packed in some supplies and proceeded to live in isolation."
There is no way to know whether that story is true. It could be as big a fiction as Jon Krakauer's book "Into the Wild," which portrayed Chris as a young man on a noble search for the meaning of life. But "My Schizophrenia'' has the ring of truth to it. "Into the Wild" never did, no matter how many can identify with the idea of searching for the meaning of life.
Into the illness
Alaska is full of people who went into the wild, sometimes for years, sometimes for decades, as part of that pursuit. But they eventually came back because civilization has its attractions, and because they had the savvy to survive. McCandless lacked the latter.
Painting him as the representative seeker of wilderness truth -- instead of the messed up anomaly -- was a good way to sell books, and no more. That's understandable. A writer needs to make a living.
It's pretty obvious Krakauer wasn't going to hit a literary home run with a tale of a young man's descent, no matter how moving, into the depths of mental illness. Americans don't like to talk about mental illness. It's why we have so many crazy people roaming the streets homeless. We simply don't want to deal with them.
Hell, most the time we don't even want to look at them. They are the scary reminder of where any of us could be in minutes if somehow the wiring in our heads went sideways, as it did for poor, young Johnathan Croom.
His parents worst first fears were realized when his body was found Monday about 1,000 feet from where he'd left his car in a wooded area. Police had last week discovered his with Croom's wallet, ID and $200 cash inside.
Before Chris McCandless wandered north to Alaska, he abandoned at least one car, too, and burned his cash, and adopted the nom-de-plume "Alexander Supertramp." He then went into the wilderness to die. Croom, authorities say, apparently went into the wilderness and committed suicide.
Croom's parents wanted to blame "Into the Wild," and the Sean Penn movie of the same name that followed the book, for luring their son off on a dangerous wilderness adventure. They still might wish to blame "Into the Wild," but the book is really not to blame here.
Literature itself doesn't lead anyone to suicide. You have to have other "issues," as they say, before literature or life or love or any of those things we all experience convince you to end it all.
We should all feel for Croom. We should all feel for Croom's family. They are going through an emotional hell now. Many other parents can only thank their luck. The parents of the author of "My Schizophrenia" among them.
He started hearing voices in the wind and water, he writes. He describes living like Chris McCandless appears to have lived in his last weeks.
After about three months, my mental state deteriorated some more more, and I found myself just making it through the days. All I was doing was sleeping and getting up once a day to relieve myself and to eat.
To make a long story short, after six months of isolation I made an attempt to get back to the nearest town. It was winter, 20 degrees below zero, and I barely made it back. I'm missing parts of my toes to this day.
I did not know it at the time, but I was experiencing the so-called negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
There are, some people might be surprised to learn, "positive" symptoms of schizophrenia as well. Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John Nash, the subject of the movie "A Beautiful Mind," suffered from schizophrenia. He was not, and apparently is not, alone. Research now suggests that those most vulnerable to schizophrenia might be those generally smarter than the rest of us.
Stigma and denial
But it doesn't matter. There is such a stigma attached to this illness that some in the world of public health have suggested changing the name. There's no indication it would matter.
Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, pick a mental illness at random, nobody wants to talk about any of them or, in some cases, even concede they might exist. More than 20 years after the 1992 death of McCandless, his family is still in denial of everything that led up to it.
How else do you explain the parents of a long-dead young man who went out of his way to cut off any contact with his family going on national television to plead with another young man obviously doing the same to "please call" his parents?
The last thing the young Crooms or McCandlesses of the world are going to do is call their parents.
New theory, same dilemmas
If you are human, you have to feel for the McCandlesses here, but they would be doing everyone a favor if they would take an honest look at the history of their son's death. Instead, they seem to want to help propagate his myth.
There is a new theory out there now about his death. Krakauer's theory that Chris McCandless poisoned himself on the seeds of the wild potato having been long ago debunked, the latest idea is that he was poisoned by something else.
"I can remember happening upon ("Into the Wild") and leafing through it (sic) pages idly for a moment, before suddenly thinking to myself, with strange certainty, 'I know why this guy died,'" the author of the theory writes at ChristopherMcCandless.info, a website where the family tries to help keep alive the fable of "a moving story about a young man chasing after his dream and ultimate Alaskan adventure."
That this story ends with Chris somehow killed by the wilderness of Alaska is key to his myth. The reality is, of course, that if the Alaska wilderness was half as murderous as the believers of this nonsense like to make it out to be, then this author and most of his friends would be long dead.
But the reality of the situation doesn't stop the desire for some explanation, other than the obvious one, for Chris's death. The latest theory starts off with certainty.
"A more comprehensive reading of the book and further investigation into my initial sense of certainty about the cause of McCandless' death seemed to demonstrate that neither my initial response, nor my certainty as to the cause of his death were unfounded," writes Ronald Hamilton, a man widely referred to on the Internet as an "academic."
The McCandless website describes Hamilton as "a staff member of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and a published author who has won numerous awards for fiction, nonfiction and poetry." For someone so accomplished, he seems unusually hard to find. Internet searches for "Ronald Hamilton Indiana University author" track back only to the McCandless website or others that link to it.
Still, the man with the "initial sense of certainty" has a theory now buttressed with six pages of the history of "lathyrus sativus," or grass pea, which has killed some people in Europe. It's an interesting theory. It could even be true. Someone should exhume Chris McCandless's body and find out. The theory does not, however, explain Chris's strange behaviors leading up to his journey into the wild.
Nor does it solve the problems for Alaska created by Krakauer's book and the Hollywood nonsense that followed. Sad to say, they attract generally competent young people north to visit the bus near the north edge of Denali National Park and Preserve. Most of these visitors do not suffer from mental illness. They are simply young, foolish and adventurous -- not necessarily in that order.
Croom's parents are right to fear what "Into the Wild" might tempt young people to do. It has already tempted too many. At least one hiker has died trying to get to or from the bus. Three more had to be rescued this year when they went to the bus and couldn't get back. There have been a lot of other rescues over the years.
State officials seem baffled about what, if anything, to do.
Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters this summer told Fox News that "the bus is a destination like anywhere else in Alaska, and noted (troopers) have been involved in far more rescues of people trying to hike Flattop Mountain in Anchorage."
"Getting rid of the bus wouldn't help," Fox assured viewers. "'Even if you remove the bus, I'm pretty confident somebody would do some kind of makeshift memorial or people would just go out there anyway,' Peters said. 'And it's one of those things whether it doesn't matter whether it's a structure or not, it's the infamy.'" Maybe instead we could just ban the book and the movie? Because, as the Crooms and others have noted, there are reasons to be concerned one or both could lead the impressionable into trouble. They already have.

A String Of Armed Robberies In Salinas
Police Looking For Masked Gunman
SALINAS, Calif. - A recent rash of armed robberies this week is keeping Salinas police officers busy with 11 robberies in just three nights.
On Wednesday night, a masked gunman held up three businesses, including a Subway restaurant, but a sheriff's deputy was making his way inside.
The deputy saw the man holding a gun and wearing a mask. The suspect ran off and was able to get away.
Police are looking into whether one man could be behind several robberies on Tuesday in the city. Four robberies occurred within an hour of each other, but three of them committed by a similar suspect who got away with cash.
Here is a timeline of the events Tuesday:
First, at 6:26 p.m., the owner of a discount department store on Abbott Street was held up with a butcher knife. But as the suspect fumbled with the cash register, the owner went across the street to call 911. No money was taken, police said.
Then, at 7:31 p.m., an AM-PM by the Salinas Automall got robbed for the third time this month. this time the suspect held them up with a gun.
At 8:32 p.m., police said a man with a similar description as the robber from before robbed a 7-Eleven on North Sanborn Road.
But police said he didn't stop there. He showed up again with a gun at 9:20 p.m. to rob the Winchell's donut shop on Natividad Road.
Police think the last three are connected.
"The descriptions are similar: tall, thin male, possible black or dark-complexion Hispanic," said Salinas Police Commander Henry Gomez.
Police said this isn't out of the ordinary.
"Generally speaking, people that do armed robberies don't just do one; there are several that are committed," Gomez said, which is why police have a hunch this man has had prior run-ins with the law. Police said he is no beginner.
The suspect is linked to the 7-Eleven, donut shop and the AM-PM as well as a Round Table Pizza on Monday.

I used two old necklaces from the 1930's to create this simple and elegant beauty.
The necklace is 22" long.The large center bead is hand-carved bone with a pattern of peonies and leaves. The body of the necklace includes pierced lattice graduated bone beads with a star or snowflake pattern. The upper sides of the necklace have simple round hand-carved bone beads - all are a bit irregular, as they were made by hand, not machine. The cream-colored bone beads are accented by matte black glass spacers.
I retained the old barrel clasp from one necklace. It works well and shows very little wear.
This simple beauty comes in an embroidered black silk pouch.

They may have just welcomed their daughter into the world but JLS star Marvin Humes and The Saturdays singer Rochelle Wiseman have already thrown themselves back into work.
The couple have revealed they will be bringing baby Alaia-Mai to their huge gig at Hyde Park next month. The two are due to appear with their bands at Barclaycard British Summer Time, but organisers had better make space for a creche backstage.
Humes, 28, said: "We're going to make a day of it — it's going to be great. It's such a monumental occasion for both our bands so we will definitely bring the baby with us.
"We'll have lots of family and friends to help us look after her. The dressing room situation may be a little bit difficult.
"I'm sure the boys would love to share dressing rooms with The Saturdays, but it's still a working day for us — business as usual."
JLS and The Saturdays are both performing on the festival's family day on July 7, which is being headlined by The Beach Boys.
Humes revealed that Wiseman went back to work with her band this week just a month after giving birth. He added: "It's tiring, of course, but we're loving being parents. Alaia-Mai makes me smile all the time. We're still in the honeymoon phase, so even when she's crying it's a beautiful sound."

Nine London boroughs have been ranked among the 10 best local authorities in England for the quality of their state schools.
Kensington and Chelsea was the highest performing local authority in a study by the thinktank CentreForum.
The study sought to highlight school quality by adjusting for factors including poverty, ethnicity, a child's first language and gender, which tend to skew exam performance.
The report says: "Once these important differences are taken into account, pupils in London appear to perform significantly better than one might expect. Indeed, pupils of all types – including the poorest pupils and those from typically underperforming ethnic groups – perform better in London than in all other regions."
The research looked at GCSE results for more than 600,000 pupils who sat exams in summer 2010, combining this with data about the children's achievement in earlier years. The study excluded private schools, which educate one in five teenagers in London.
London schools have higher funding per pupil, but also higher costs.
Comparing the "expected performance" of each local authority, based on their pupil intake, with their actual result, the researchers found wide variation.
Gill Wyness, author of the report, said: "Some of the poorest kids in the country are achieving great results. The level of overachievement in local authorities like Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets is nothing short of remarkable.
"What worries me is that children with similar backgrounds from other parts of the country do not seem to be performing as well."
Portsmouth, Sandwell, Hull, Barnsley and Bradford were the five local authorities that did worst in the analysis.
The analysis reveals that the "London advantage" appears to increase with age – the gap between pupils in London and rest of the country first emerges at 11 and is sustained to GCSE.
The report says: "That the gap in attainment between pupils from London and the rest of the country emerges over time and suggests that it is schools, rather than parents, that are responsible for the relative advantage of pupils in London."
The analysis finds the gap is significant across a range of measures including overall GCSE points score, the proportion of pupils achieving five or more good GCSEs including English and maths and the English baccalaureate.
London has disproportionately more Chinese, Asian, black and mixed-race pupils and disproportionately fewer white pupils than the rest of the country. Pupils from Chinese and Asian backgrounds tend to do even better in London than they do elsewhere in England, the study says. The study suggests that "cultural differences or parental expectations" may be more important factors than poverty in influencing pupils' performance.
The report speculates that teacher quality may be "driven upwards" by competition for teaching jobs in London, because of the capital's large pool of graduates.
It also suggests that government initiatives directed at London may be important.
One such initiative was London Challenge, a school improvement programme established under Labour to boost outcomes in low-performing secondary schools in the capital.
Top 10 "overachieving" local authorities in England for quality of schools, according to CentreForum:
Kensington and Chelsea
Hammersmith and Fulham
Tower Hamlets

Fortunately, UK consumers will soon have the prime opportunity of snatching a model seeing that online retailer Clove is set to start selling the handset tomorrow, August 17th. Recently, they've been able to secure their first batch of units, which are intended to begin shipping out as soon as tomorrow.
£360 ($591) for it, you'll be able to buy yourself a SIM-free and unlocked version of the handset – meaning, it's ready to start making waves with just about any network carrier out there.
However, the speculation about it potentially being upgraded to a dual-core 1.2GHz processor is thrown out the door the moment you read its listed specs. Specifically, it's mentioned to be sporting a 1.4GHz single-core processor instead. Nevertheless, we're sure it's going to be enough to handle all the intricacies of webOS.

I found out on our last vet visit that Varick has ehrlichiosis. I was very surprised. My vet perscribed doxycycline hyclate. She didn't tell me how bad it was, but she decided that she would give him medication just to be safe.
How bad is this tick disease? What should I be doing to help him?
I've had some bad experiences with this disease. And with other tick diseases- including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Did your vet test for titer levels, or just a snap test that shows the dog has been exposed? A titer is more expensive, and doesn't always tell you how seriously ill the dog is. I'd recommend asking the vet about a PCR (polymerase chain reaction for you organic chemists out there) test instead. That test actually tests for the organism in the dog's blood. If I'd known what I know now, I'd always insist on a PCR test- not a titer, and not just a "positive" on a SNAP test.
Does your dog seem sick at all? When my dog had ehrlichia, he was just kind of "off"- weak, tired, coughing, not eating well. When I took him to my vet to get checked out he actually had heart arrhythmia, which can happen with this disease. I rushed him to a vet teaching hospital (I thought he'd die on the way there... it was not fun). Put him on docycycline hyclate and prednisone- pred was only for about 10 days or so.
I'd take this disease very seriously, but I'd want more testing. Based on my experience, and things I've read, I'd continue doxycycline at a fairly high dose for about 6 months. Doxy has been really expensive recently, if it still is, look into getting a prescription for a legitimate Canadian pharmacy.
Good luck!
Poor Varick! I hope he is feeling better. According to this article Ehrlichosis ? dogs and ticks the disease is widespread.
NC State has extended a 50% offer to vets for testing at its vector borne diseases lab. They are a respected lab in this field. I plan on taking it in and asking about it when we go for our annual check up. I think Doxy is regularly given long term so you want to get into a routine with probiotics given at a different time from the antibiotic as it will play havoc with gut bacteria.
A lot of these tick diseases can cause long term low-level chronic health issues.

Our last GSD had it when she was a pup and it almost killed her. It was nice weather and had been spending a lot of time outdoors with her mom and litter mates and must have been bitten then. She was fine the day I brought her home and a few days later she went to the vet for a physical, more vaccinations and a free puppy bath. The vet called and said she had bloody diarrhea while she was there. He wasn't sure he would be able to save her but he did. About 6 wks later she was sick again because the disease can settle in organs like the liver. She survived but never ate well and had a sensitivity to a lot of foods. Be diligent- this is a tough disease.
He doesn't really seem sick. He eats about five or six cups of food daily, but I can leave it in his crate all day and he will eat when he's hungry. He is unusually thin in my personal opinion, at 85 lbs and 26 inches tall. Very muscular, but absolutely no fat on him. His extreme high energy is the same. He wants to play all the time. I never noticed a change in him. It's still hard to believe that he has a disease. :(

the prognosis in acute Ehrlichiosis is great . Just make sure he finishes his antibiotic cycle. I recommend using frontline once or twice a month to prevent tick bites.Also, always inspect his coat for ticks and remove them correctly.
Kiya has been positive for Erlichia treated with doxy and has never had a problem from it.
I had a rescue golden with chronic Ehrlichiosis....he came in to rescue at age 11....most vets that saw him thought he had it for years and it just went untreated....he had to be on doxy on and off the whole time I had him. He had horrible eye issues that the vet opthalmologist said was due to the ehrlichiosis......he went on human meds and we got him a lot more vision back. He was a happy old man, he needed a lot of support to get him healthy once I got him. He lived 5 more years....he always tested positive for it....but he had a great last few years.
