Comments about Osprey VOLT 60:
I am a bit over weight still (but dropping weight fast!) so the adjustable waist strap fits me perfectly. I have had back surgery and am 65 years old. I recently hiked the Maryland Section of the Appalachian Trail. $ days and 3 night for 40+ miles. I had no back pain or ANY discomfort from this pack, carrying about 28 lbs fully packed. I love this pack.

Comments about Osprey VOLT 60:
I use this both for week-long backpacking trips in the US and for international travel (Latin America). It's taken a lot of abuse over the last year but remains as good a new. It still rides quite comfortable despite the lack of fancy padding. It's also fairly understated which is perfect fo not calling too much attention to yourself as an international traveler. My only issue is that its bit of a struggle stuffing my sleeping bag into the tight bottom compartment.

Interestingly my Guru said the same thing yesterday. He said before there was many realized masters but no disciples and now there are many disciples but very few realized masters.

Top Whiz Bang Clay Target Shooters Compete
AUSTIN, Texas —Clay target sports competitors from Corpus Christi, Alvin and Burleson took home lifetime hunting and fishing licenses as winners of the 15th Annual state Whiz Bang finals for 4-H Shooting Sports Clubs in Texas. The event was held during the Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo on Oct. 5.
Top shooters were: Leo Ybanez of Corpus Christi in the Senior Division; Zach Charbula of Alvin in the Junior Division; and Kyler Ford of Burleson in the Intermediate Division. The Sportsmen's Club of Fort Worth provided the lifetime license awards. Both Ybanez and Ford returned from last year's competition.
Runner-up shooters in each division received Browning Gold 12-gauge shotguns. Total prizes awarded were valued at nearly $24,000, and included trophies for each place provided by Browning, three additional club shotguns by Browning; various trap throwers from La Porte USA, Promatic, R&R Trap Sales and Service, and Lincoln Traps. The top three place winners also received Montana Silversmith belt buckles donated by Mark Faggard.
Other winners received gift certificates for product; gift certificates for custom work on shotguns; private shooting lessons and gun cleaning kits by Otis. Also donated were 40 cases of ammunition from Fiocchi, Winchester, Rio and Remington, shooting glasses, travel bags from the International Hunter Education Association, and memberships to National Sporting Clays Association.
This year's event saw its first female participant, Sierra Stokes of Ozona. The 15 shooters competing in the finals represent 4-H Shooting Sports in their local areas.
In addition to the 4-H Shooting Sports program, TPWD is working with area schools to bolster youth clay sports participation through a new pilot program. The Clay Sports in Schools pilot, designed to introduce 6th through 12th grade level youth to competitive shotgun clay target shooting, will be offered in participating schools throughout the state, beginning with the Ag. Science 381 Wildlife and Recreation Management curriculum in high schools.
At least 10 participants from previous Whiz Bangs have gone on to shoot in collegiate level competition, and 15 have participated in Junior Olympic and International competitions.

Ultrasound waves and a chlorine wash cut the survival rate of E. coli O157:H7 on spinach about threefold more than chlorine alone in tests done at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The resulting paper, "Continuous-flow ultrasonic washing system for fresh produce surface decontamination," has been published in Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies.
Food Technology Noord-Oost Nederland B.V. funded the project. The researchers — Bin Zhou, Hao Feng and Arne Pearlstein — added ultrasound capability to a small commercial washer.
"My understanding is that (Food Technology) is working on larger-scale systems and targeting some U.S. companies," said Feng, an associate professor in the university's Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition.
The ultrasound killed more cells by a factor of just over three when spinach was processed in batches. Added to the number killed by chlorine alone, overall reduction was by a factor more than 2,200 — or 3.35 log.
It's not the holy grail — an absolute kill step — but it's progress, said Feng, who envisions more improvements.
"We can reduce the risk of foodborne illness outbreaks but it's still not the target," he said. "The (U.S. Department of Agriculture) is looking for technologies that can achieve 4 to 6 log reduction."
"This is just chlorine. I'm working with a few other sanitizers," Feng said. "I think we can get more log reduction but we need to look carefully at the quality of produce. We are very careful to control the level of ultrasound and not damage it. Under current conditions it's fine."
"The combination of ultrasound with a chemical sanitizer can significantly enhance safety," he said. "But every new technology will be more expensive compared to traditional chlorine wash."

November commercial disappearance outpaces milk marketings
Monthly commercial disappearance of milk used in all dairy products has surpassed U.S. dairy farmer milk marketings for the same month for six consecutive months, according to USDA's monthly Dairy Data report.
Commercial disappearance of milk used in all dairy products during November 2013 totaled 17.72 billion lbs., 5.4% more than November 2012, and about 1.79 billion lbs. more than total U.S. producer milk marketings for the month. Monthly commercial disappearance has surpassed milk marketings since June.
Producer milk marketings for November 2013 totaled 15.93 billion lbs. Adding to available supplies, beginning commercial stocks totaled 12.78 billion lbs., and imports for the month totaled 295 million lbs., for a total of 29.01 billion lbs., the lowest level of the year
At the end of November 2013, ending commercial stocks totaled 11.83 billion lbs., down about 953 million lbs. compared to October 2013, but still about 529 million lbs. more than November 2012.

CWT assists with 7.4 million lbs. of cheese, butter export sales
Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) accepted 29 requests for export assistance from Bongards Creameries, Dairy Farmers of America, Foremost Farms USA, Maryland Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative Association and Tillamook County Creamery Association to sell 5.758 million lbs. of cheddar, Gouda and Monterey Jack cheese and 551,156 lbs. of butter to customers in Asia, Central America, the Middle East and North Africa. The product will be delivered January through June 2014.
Year-to-date, CWT has assisted member cooperatives in selling 8.494 million lbs. of cheese and 3.542 million lbs. of butter to 12 countries on four continents. These sales are the equivalent of 158 million lbs. of milk on a milkfat basis.
Source: Cooperatives Working Together
NFDM headed for record
While the dramatic increase in cheddar cheese prices are important for the determination of Class III milk prices under federal orders and Class 4b prices under the California system, a similar dramatic story can be told with respect to nonfat dry milk (NFDM) prices, according to Brian Gould, University of Wisconsin-Madison dairy economist.
NFDM helps drive the Class IV price determination under federal orders and Class 4a for California.
Since April 2013 there has been a relatively constant increase in NFDM prices. Gould reminds readers that under the FMMO system, the higher of the Advanced Class III and IV prices determines the Class I (beverage milk) base price. The advanced Class IV price has been the mover since March 2013.

Fertilizer costs will be lower in 2014
Fertilizer costs likely will decline in 2014, providing crop producers with some relief from projected lower crop revenues, according to Gary Schnitkey, University of Illinois ag economist. However, while Illinois fertilizer costs may be down by $60 per acre, lower corn prices may mean crop revenue may be down by more than $300 per acre.
From 2006 to 2013, fertilizer costs rose substantially, increasing by 144% for corn and 161% for soybeans. Since September of 2013, fertilizer prices have declined, likely leading to lower fertilizer costs for into the 2014 production year.
On Jan. 23, 2014, USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service reported average prices in Illinois of $651/ton for anhydrous ammonia, $521/ton for DAP, and $449/ton for potash. These 2014 prices are below 2013 levels by approximately 27% for anhydrous ammonia, 19% for DAP, and 21% for potash.
While 2014 price declines are large, further downward pressure may exist on fertilizer prices. Additional plant capacity to produce anhydrous ammonia is being placed into operation. Cartel alliances relative to potash have broken up.
Current prices reported by the Agricultural Marketing Service would result in lower fertilizer costs in 2014 as compared to 2013. Using projected price decreases reported above fertilizer costs for corn would be around $140/acre, down $60 per acre from 2012 levels. Fertilizer costs for soybeans in 2014 would be at $50 per acre, down from $68 per acre in 2012. Even with these cost decreases, evaluating the level of fertilizer applications may be advisable, perhaps lowering application rates given recent price changes.

The valuable mechanical feature of EDEN Bifa-15 is its patented microcapsule delivery system. Other capsules are pre-formed, filled, sealed, and have an inherent weakness, a seam. EDEN Bifa-15 microcapsules are filled and formed simultaneously providing a seamless surface that uniquely protects the fragile bacteria. Each tube of EDEN Bifa-15 contains orange bifidobacteria capsules, white lactobacillus capsules, and pleasantly flavored oligosaccharide granules that help bifidobacteria thrive. The granules of oligosaccharides, their lemon oil and botanical essences, promote bifidobacteria growth and deliver a most refreshing taste experience.
Seamless capsules protect the bacteria from air and their journey through the stomach acids. The capsules release bacteria only after reaching the large intestine - their natural 'home address.' Upon release lactobacillus vigorously cultivate the proper environment for bifidobacteria to flourish by producing lactic acid and beneficial nutrients. Each tube of EDEN Bifa-15 delivers two billion living Bifidobacterium longum, and one billion friendly lactic acid producing bacteria. As Bifidobacteria increases through regular consumption of EDEN Bifa-15, harmful bacteria is suppressed, balance is restored, and functions necessary for health and proper digestion are strengthened.

THE weather was certainly on their side, as pupils, parents and teachers rallied together to raise funds for a new media studio at their Winchester school.
The summer fete at Kings' School, in Romsey Road, featured dancers from Blue Apple Theatre and for the first time ever, a Bollywood performer.
The fete, on Saturday May 17, raised £5,000 which will go towards a new media studio, bringing the total so far to £7,000 of the £10,000 needed.
Sara Dean, chairman of the Parent Teacher Association at the school, said it would be a great benefit for the pupils.
"We already have a radio license," she said.
"So we are raising money to build a new media studio for students, which will look good on their CV and help them get a better job. We are looking to put on several big events throughout the year to raise more money."
The studio would include a blue screen and recording equipment to help the youngsters produce their own films, but also visual CV's – which are online based and include photos and video.

What do you do to keep your goals in meditation from becoming a hindrance to progress?
As I have said in a number of my other posts on this forum, I was involved in Soto Zen for a number of years. I went to an excellent center with an excellent teacher who was really supportive of my practice. Anyway, one day I had what I perceived to be a first glimpse of anatta... in my car. It was a very dark night on a very straight road and I found it incredibly easy to really focus on the movements of driving (which is unusual because I never find mindfulness particularly easy ). Anyway, after being mindful of driving for about 20 minutes I had a brief moment where I experienced anatta... I'm not going to describe it here because everytime I do I fail to express what it felt like and everybody just looks at me weird. But the truly weird thing is that you don't notice when you your ego drops away because in essence "you" aren't experiencing it... it's just pure awareness. It feels soooo natural, and you only realize it *after* if happens. Or, I should say, the first millisecond that you realize that something's different, you're back out of it again. After it happened I was rather shocked and had to pull over for a few seconds to figure out what had just happened. Anyway, the next day, I went to my teacher and she also said that it sounded like a first glimpse of anatta but she begged me never to concentrate so so much in a car ever again.
It has been a huge motivation booster: "Okay, I see now that these things are actually possible... keep going!" Which I think can be really helpful when you just don't feel like meditating at the end of a long work day. When my teacher confirmed it, I thought, "Okay, people say that you should just accept it, forget it and continue practicing... So, that's what I'll do." The only thing is, it's not the kind of thing you just easily forget. In the back of my mind, I sometimes ask "Why did it happen off the cushion? Why can't my meditation be as strong as my mindfulness that one night?" "Why has it not happened again?" "Try to do what you did in the car that night... " etc etc etc. It's always subtly there in the back of my mind. It has almost become a "milestone".
Now that I am practicing vipassana, I feel like I am expecting myself to have another (or longer) experience of anatta. And I feel like it is almost creating a hindrance to any progress in meditation.
Has anyone else had this? How do you strike the balance between letting it motivate you and spur you on and letting slowing you down? How do you stop it from becoming a mental roadblock?

Ten impressive arms in the Padres system.
Thanks to Randy Smith and the magic of the internet, I found out that the Padres were going to throw 10 of their youngest and brightest arms in a controlled backfield game against Indian Hills junior college at 11:30 a.m. Sunday. These are the scouting situations I dream about, and Jason Cole and I arrived eager and early to find we were the only non-team personnel on the scene, a duo of emotion soon resulted: Anxiety. Are we allowed to be here? Why are we the only ones here? Excitement: We are the only ones here!
Set-up: each prospect arm would get one inning of work. It was a controlled game, which just means the on-site team personnel could roll an inning if a pitcher exceeded his pitch count or if the bats were simply destroying the opponent, which would be the case on a few occasions during the 10-inning affair. I didn't focus on the bats, although several promising sticks graced the field during the game, and I didn't pay much attention to the Indian Hills team. These are the bare-bones scouting notes I took. Take them as snapshots of an early March afternoon and not the canvas that will one day hang in the majors. Normally, I would just keep these notes for personal use throughout the year, but I was so impressed with the young arms on the field that I needed to voice these thoughts at the earliest possible convenience. I'm not sure any org in baseball can brag on lower-level pitching like the Padres. Here are the notes:

Creating Napkin Roses
Guests will shower you with compliments when they see this fresh idea for Napkin Roses. To start, lay a square napkin flat with the right side down.
Fold napkin in half diagonally. Fold right corner three-quarters of the way up, aligning open edges.
Hold newly folded edge a few inches from the bottom; alternately finger-pleat and roll napkin to opposite corner, following bottom edge. Secure rose with ribbon and tie in a bow.

The Cincinnati Bengals have never made the playoffs in consecutive seasons under head coach Marvin Lewis. If they plan on changing that, they need to win a pair of games in Pennsylvania, starting with Thursday's favorable matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles (8:20 p.m. ET, NFL Network).
At 7-6, the Bengals are in a fight with the AFC North rival Steelers -- whom they play in Pittsburgh in Week 16 -- to take the AFC's second-wild card spot for a second straight year. Knowing the Eagles (4-9) just ended an eight-game losing streak by dashing Tampa Bay's playoff hopes last week, the Bengals know they will need to turn in a strong all-around effort to avoid the road upset this week.
The Bengals led for most of their Week 14 home game against the Dallas Cowboys, but dropped passes, penalties and other mistakes contributed to losing a 20-19 heartbreaker on Dan Bailey's last-second field goal. There's one thing they should be able to count on against the Eagles in Week 15 -- their defense.
Cincinnati leads the NFL with 42 sacks, and will be eager to cool off Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles. Foles had plenty of time to pick apart the Buccaneers, and responded with his best passing game (32-for-51, 381 yards, two TDs). But the Bengals can bring much better pressure, inside and outside.
Tackle Geno Atkins leads the way with 10 1/2 sacks, and ends Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson have also been very effective off the edge. Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is fortunate to have a strong front four and backs it up with a good blitz package that puts his players in the most favorable matchups with would-be blockers. The Eagles' offensive line has been riddled with injuries, and will lose the battle in the trenches.
Zimmer will try to confuse Foles with varied looks in coverage as well. The Bengals also boast a good run defense (No. 11) that will slow down rookie running back Bryce Brown on early downs and put Foles in uncomfortable down-and-distance situations.
The Bengals' offense will get a lot of help from the other side of the ball, and must execute better to take advantage. Andy Dalton will see on film that the Eagles have struggled to pressure quarterbacks into mistakes all season long. He should also notice they haven't been able to handle speedy, explosive wide receivers all season. That's great news for A.J. Green, who should follow Larry Fitzgerald, Victor Cruz, Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, Dez Bryant and Vincent Jackson in blowing through Philadelphia's secondary for some big plays.
Green, uncharacteristically, dropped a potential TD pass from Dalton against the Cowboys. After going nine consecutive games with a score, he has been kept out of the end zone in the past three. Expect that to change against the Eagles. With Green stretching the field, fellow wideout Andrew Hawkins and tight end Jermaine Gresham will find some good room on underneath routes from Dalton.
The Bengals should also expect additional strong running from BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who has racked up 437 rushing yards (5.4 per-carry average) over the past four weeks.
The Bengals have everything going for them on paper. They have shown just how good they can be, and before losing to the Cowboys, Cincinnati soundly beat the Redskins and Giants from the NFC East. If they can clean up a few things against the Eagles, it should be enough to finish 3-1 on the season against that tough division.
The pick: Bengals 27, Eagles 20.

I really like melancholic sad songs. I guess this is part of the reason I'm stuck in the 80's musically. Every morning I do about 40 minutes on the elliptical or treadmill. Lately, I've been listening to music with my iPhone and the Pandora, Slacker Radio, AOL Radio and Last.fm apps. The best part of this method is the constant flow of new music. Honestly, most of what I hear disappointments me but this week a song really hit me in the heart strings. I heard something that was like a modern Erasure or Boy George but something told me it wasn't those artists. I liked the song so much I was going to jump off the machine and grab a pen & paper but then I remember if I click the Sleep and Home buttons on the iPhone simultaneously it saves a screenshot.
As a child I knew
that the stars could only get brighter
then we could get closer
leaving this darkness
Now that I'm older
the stars shed light upon my face
but when I found myself alone
I feel like I, I am blind
The song was called Blind by Hercules & Love Affair:

I'm the very part-time librarian at Rocky Mountain National Park and I have been asked if anyone has a copy of the research Chip did. Anybody out there who could help?
I'm also interested in information about any other people who climbed near Estes Park in the '70s and '80s.

|He wrote a very extensive article on his work on the Diamond that was also a plead for climbers to tread gently when climbing there for Climbing magazine. He actually discovered a never before seen variant of a primrose, (I think a primrose) that was exclusive to the Diamond. He was a interesting guy. He cowrote the first comprehensive guide to Lumpy Ridge as well. I was in junior high at the time he was most active and when I'd see him at the Surry (remember the Surry Olaf?) I was always overwhelmed by his presence.

This is a great image.
I remember Chip well. He was the creator and director of the triathlon held in Estes Park yearly, the Mountain Classics I think I was called. In 1981, I ran and bike trained with him, attended other races together as well, and we were coworkers at La Casa Del Esterito. He was a good man and a good friend.

Chip's plant was the Parry Primrose. That lead to the research funding poster entitled "The Diamond Lives - Climb Kind" which was issued around 1976.
Still have the poster, a great reminder of the frail mountain environment, Chip's awareness and echos the save today for tomorrow thought.

Three thoughts on Floyd Mayweather beating Robert Guerrero
LAS VEGAS -- Three thoughts on Floyd Mayweather's easy win over Robert Guerrero:
A blowout I thought, a blowout I got: Guerrero talked tough before the fight, promising to rough up Mayweather, promising to do to him what no fighter had before. But how many times have we heard that before? When Guerrero did get in the ring, he found himself up against a quicker, stronger, more elusive fighter. The first two rounds were close, but after that it was repetitive. Mayweather pot-shotted Guerrero with right hands, so many in fact that he said he broke it in the middle rounds. Guerrero chased Mayweather around the ring throughout the fight, trying to pin him against the ropes, trying to do to Mayweather what he did to Andre Berto last year.
GALLERY: Action shots of Mayweather-Guerrero
But Mayweather (surprise!) is not Berto. For the most part, Mayweather kept the fight in the middle of the ring, going to the ropes, it seemed, only when he wanted to. When Guerrero did get inside, Mayweather parried most of his punches and kept a stiff guard up to prevent anything significant from getting through. According to CompuBox, Mayweather connected on 41 percent of his punches (to Guerrero's 19 percent), 19 percent of his jabs (compared to 11 percent for Guerrero) and a whopping 60 percent of his power shots (28 percent for Guerrero). It was a boxing clinic by a fighter taking on an opponent nowhere near his level.
No rust: Mayweather isn't the same springboarding defensive fighter he once was, the end result of age costing him some of his mobility. But coming off a one-year layoff and a two-month prison sentence, he was more elusive than he was in his last fight, against Miguel Cotto. Time after time Guerrero went for a big hook and came up with air. Time after time Guerrero tried to crowd Mayweather, only to have him disappear right in front of him. Going into the fight, I thought the only way Guerrero could win would be if Mayweather aged in the ring. Put simply, he didn't.
Where now, Floyd? There is going to be a groundswell of support for Mayweather -- who confirmed before the fight he would be back in September and that he intended to fight five more times -- to face Canelo Alvarez in the fall, and Alvarez, who has replaced a defanged Manny Pacquiao as Mayweather's preferred opponent, is a solid choice. But is there any real reason to believe that an inexperienced Alvarez will be able to locate Mayweather any better than Guerrero? Mayweather's potential pool of opponents -- Alvarez, Danny Garcia, Amir Khan -- just aren't on Mayweather's level. It's Floyd's world, as long as he can keep his skills on top of it.
-- Chris Mannix

Keighley-born caddy Billy Foster has described not being able to go back alongside Lee Westwood when he recovers fitness as "unbelievably disappointing".
The world number four has told the Bingley St Ives member that he is sticking with Zimbabwean Mike Kerr going into next season.
The former Holy Family School pupil, who was alongside West-wood during his rise to the top of the rankings, has needed two operations since suffering a cruciate knee injury during a football kickabout in America in May.
"It's been very difficult these last six months – I've been in a dark tunnel," said Foster.
"I've only started walking again these last two weeks, so to get the call from Lee just as I was starting to see the light again was unbelievably disappointing and made it harder to take.
"We had such a laugh together, have been great mates and were very successful, but it's a tough game for caddies and I've just to focus on getting myself right.
"I'm a strong character and I'll be fine – I know I will be – but all this because of a freak accident. I wasn't even playing in the game when it happened."
Foster chose not to be part of a caddy side against a local team in North Carolina but was there to watch and went on the pitch during the warm-up.
He said: "My foot went in a hole and you could hear the crack 20 yards away."
Kerr is Westwood's third caddie since then. They linked up in August after his missed cut at the USPGA Championship, which also resulted in him parting company with coach Pete Cowen.
Westwood's manager Andrew "Chubby" Chandler said: "Lee is at that stage of his career where he has to be a little bit selfish.
"Billy hopes to be fit enough at the start of next year to caddy for one week and then have one week off, but Lee is playing six tournaments in a row, starting in Dubai next February."
As soon as he proves he is fit again Foster should be much in demand.
His previous bosses include Seve Ballesteros, Darren Clarke, Thomas Bjorn and even Tiger Woods at the 2005 Presidents Cup when Steve Williams was unavailable.
There was even speculation that Woods would make an approach for Foster when the American split with long-term bagman Williams back in July 2011.
Westwood was back as a member of the PGA Tour in the States this year and has now taken the extra step of moving his family from Worksop to Florida as he approaches his 40th birthday. He is still searching for his first major title and the US Masters in April will be his 60th attempt.

Manchester United [2] manager Sir Alex Ferguson [3] has made signing Chelsea defender Ashley Cole [4] his top priority if talks between the England international and the Blues over a new contract end without any conclusion.
Ferguson's interest in Cole will add another dimension to United's trip to Stamford Bridge for Sunday's Premier League clash.
According to the Daily Mail, Ferguson is a huge admirer of Cole and has reminded his coaching staff that he is one of the few players in world football to have got the upper hand over Cristiano Ronaldo.
During Ronaldo's time at Old Trafford, Cole would show him an imaginary pocket during matches to demonstrate his influence over the Portugal winger, the paper added.
Out of contract at the end of the season, Cole is also best friends with United striker Wayne Rooney, it said.
The defender has only been offered a one-year extension by Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay that fits in with the west London club's new policy of offering only season-by-season deals to players over 30, the paper further added.
Ferguson is shocked that Cole, widely regarded as the best left back on the planet for a number of seasons, has been allowed to run down his contract, the paper further reported. (ANI [5])

Detroit Red Wings prospect Riley Sheahan, the team's No. 1 draft pick in 2010, pleaded guilty to a "super drunk" charge stemming from an Oct. 29 traffic stop in which he was stopped wearing a purple Teletubby costume, MLive.com reported.
Sheahan's arrest made far more noise because he was dressed like Tinky Winky instead of who he is, although that is another tentacle to this story. Sheahan was found to have teammate Brendan Smith's ID, but charges of driving the wrong way and using a fake ID were dropped. Sheahan twice blew .30 on a breathalyzer test after being brought to jail.
In pleading guilty, Sheahan will be on probation for 12 months and must pay a $1,325 fine, work 49 hours on a work crew and take a class. In addition, Sheahan's license has been suspended for a year, though he is eligible to drive after 45 days if he uses an ignition interlock device, MLive.com reported.
Red Wings assistant GM recently said of Sheahan, "He's getting help right now and will continue to get help."
Sheahan has four goals and four assists in 20 games this season.

THREE Bradford on Avon paddlers are on their way to the European Sprint Championships after a successful sprint regatta at Nottingham last weekend.
London 2012 Olympic champion Ed McKeever will contest the K1 200m kayak event in Brandenburg from July 10-13 after showing his record-breaking form at the third National Regatta.
McKeever won the K1 200m singles a boat length and a half clear of the field in a course record time of 35.37 seconds.
Hannah Brown will also represent Great Britain in the women''s K1 200m.
Brown came a close third in the ladies race at Nottingham in a time of 42.24, despite having to deviate from the fastest line to avoid a large clump of weed.
The event was won by the Olympian Rachael Cawthorn, from Wey Kayak Club.
It was a return to form for Brown who had recently still been suffering the effects of a rib injury sustained at last September's European Championships .
"It's a massive relief," the 24 year old told gbcanoeing.org.uk.
"It grumbled on for the whole of the winter. I went through a process before Christmas of stopping paddling, coming back to paddling, then building up and it just didn't tolerate the load.
"So I had to start from scratch again in January. I finally got to a place where I was happy and only in the last couple of weeks have I got back to being one hundred percent. So it's awesome to be selected."
Brown had competed in two World Cups in April having achieved fourth place in the K1 200 at selections.
"To be of a standard up there competing with the girls for places feels pretty good, and I can hopefully continue my progress through the year," said Brown who became World Wildwater Kayak champion last year.
"On flat water the K1 200 is the one that I have got the most history in. It's been perfect for me whilst being involved in the rehab process. I couldn't have been involved in the crew boats which is unfortunate because they are obviously storming it this year.
"But this will be my first sprint Europeans, and it will be exciting to paddle with the big girls in K1."
Bradford's top junior James Missen was a close second in the boys K1 1000m.
Missen will race the K1 500m and 1000m in the European Canoe Sprint Juniors and U23 Championships, Mantes la Jolie, France, at the end of the month.

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
Very few children escape childhood without having at least one ear infection. Some kids get them so often they may need ear tube surgery . An ear infection hurts and your child can be quite miserable until it goes away. Some ear infections will clear up quickly on their own, especially those caused by a virus. But, bacterial ear infections may need antibiotic treatment.
Most ear infections are accompanied by ear pain. If your child is too small to tell you his ears hurt, he might tug at one or both of them, and he might be irritable. He may or may not have a fever.
Kids get more ear infections than adults because their ear canal is smaller and thinner. The good news is that once your child grows a bit, and his ear canals get larger, he'll probably outgrow his ear infections.

Fabcon: Georgia May Jagger
Those who say style is learned, rather than genetic, may think twice after getting to know Georgia May Jagger, aka daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. I'm sure some of her funky fashion ways were picked up from seeing her parents dress for extravagant parties.
Georgia May is 16, but her fashion sense already speaks wonders. It's a fine mix of rock 'n roll, eclecticism, with a smidgen of sophistication. We know where she got the rock 'n roll edge and where she learned sophistication!
Thanks to good genes — her pout and teeth remind me of model Lara Stone — Georgia May recently signed a modeling contract with her mom and sister's agency, London's Independent, so we'll be seeing her more often.

Compelling lashes "Absinth", green / black
Our "Absinthe" eyelashes style is pure magic. Turn yourself into the Green Fairy and put a spell on the person across, with just a blink of an eye!
Attention! There is no adhesive included! If you need one please order seperately.
Eyelash glue like the pros - step by step
Long, thick eyelashes are a real eye-catcher. They give a seductive glances with more expressiveness and depth, making smoky eyes even more bold and conjure unforgettable magic eyes. The application of artificial eyelashes requires some know how and practice- we'll show you how it's done!
This is what you will need:
- artifical Eyelashes
- eyelash glue
- eyelash Curler
- tweezers
- a cut cotton swabs
- black Mascara
- scissors
Step 1: Apply Eye Make Up & Lashes form
First you put on your desired eye makeup. You can also already use an eyeliner. Then you bring your non-mascara eyelashes into form with an eyelash curler. If you want you can put mascara on your own lashes already. This has the advantage that you do not have to put mascara on artificial eyelashes later on. So your artificial eyelashes stay beautiful.
Step 2: Prepare the lashes strips
Pick up the artificial lashes with tweezers carefully from the container. Make sure to grab only the lash line and from the outside to avoid damage to any individual lashes, feathers or rhinestones. Hold the eyelash band temporarily to your eye and shorten the strip, where appropriate, with a pair of scissors to the desired length. Bend the lashes band several times into a U shape to make it flexible and put it into in shape. Now apply a thin layer of eyelash glue along the lash line. Make sure that no glue runs into the lashes. Choosing a good professional eyelash adhesive eases application enormously and ensures that the lashes survive through every party. Let the glue dry for about 30-50 seconds.
Step 3: Glue artificial eyelashes
So you do not have to apply the eyelashes cumbersome and inaccurately with your fingers, you can create an accurate tool from a cotton swab. Simply cut off one of the padded ends of the swab so that all that remains is the thin plastic style. This is the ideal assistant! With this tool you now you position the eyelash band roughly in the middle of the loosely closed eyelid, close to the edge of your own natural lashes. The outer, fuller edge of the false eyelashes should extend a few millimeters above the natural end of your lashes. Go patiently about this task and allow yourself several attempts if necessary, because this step is definitely the trickiest and requires some practice. If the lash band is positioned correctly, press it firmly with the cotton swab. After about 2-3 minutes the eyelash glue has dried and you can proceed to the next step.
Schritt 4: Eyeliner, Maskara & Kajal
Are you satisfied with the result? Great! Then you can give your eye makeup a final touch now. Correct your eye shadow and eyeliner if necessary. Especially with black eyelashes you have to use an eyeliner because not only does it provides a more expressive look, but it also conceals possible small irregularities on the lash line. Draw the line on the outer corner of the eye slightly upward so that ends with a stroke. Emphasize the lower eyelid with an eyeliner and blur the contours gently with a cotton swab to make them appear softer ... and now your mega lashes look is perfect!
Step 5: Make-up removal, care and storage of the eyelashes
Our eyelashes strips are of course reusable. How often depends primarily on how you take care of them. You can remove lashes before make-up removal by simply pulling them off from the outside to the inside. If you are sensitive at the eye, put some makeup remover on a cotton pad and press it against the eye for a few seconds, to dissolve the eyelash glue. Residues from the eyelash glue can be easily removed with your fingers or tweezers. If you have put mascara on your eyelashes bands, clean them thoroughly with makeup remover or alcohol. Keep the cleaned eyelashes dustproof in the eyelashes container.

Samsung Predicted to Widen Smartphone Market Lead over Apple in 2013

...Assuming Apple doesn't rollout an iPhone mini
Research firm Strategy Analytics has stated that it expects Samsung to widen the lead in the smartphone market over Apple during 2013. The research firm predicts Samsung will see 35% growth this year helped in part by a wider product line. The research firm also believes that to help counter the increased competition by Samsung that Apple might launch a smaller and cheaper "iPhone mini" next year.
A smaller-screened iPhone has been rumored for a number of years, but has never come to fruition. Apple addresses the "cheaper" bullet point by discounting previous generation iPhone models to selling alongside the current generation model. For example, the previous generation iPhone 4S is priced at $99 with a two-year contract, while the iPhone 4 is available for free with a two-year contract. The current generation iPhone 5 starts at $199.
However, with Apple finally rolling out a smaller
iPad mini
that has seen significant sales success, the market may be right for Apple to bring a pint-sized iPhone to the market.
The analytics firm believes that globally smartphone shipments will increase 27% during 2013 to 875,000,000 units. While 27% growth is a brisk pace, it is a significant decline from the 41% growth the smartphone market saw in 2012. Strategy Analytics blames slowing growth in North America, China, Asia, and Western Europe.
The research firm predicts that Samsung will sell 290 million smartphones in 2013, which is a significant increase from the estimated 215 million smartphones Samsung sold in 2012. It should be noted, however, that Samsung's own internal numbers suggest that it will sell a
more substantial 390 million smartphones for the year
Apple is predicted to sell 180 million smartphones in 2013 for 33% increase from its 2012 sales numbers. If the research firm's predictions come true Samsung will hold 33% of the smartphone market with Apple a bit behind at 21%.

Guide to Cycling and Touring in the Chilterns
Chiltern Heritage Trail
The scenic Chiltern Heritage Cycle Trail links the historic towns and parishes of the Chiltern District and includes some of the area's most popular tourist attractions and places of historic interest.
The Trail is divided into three loops, each covering approximately 25 miles. The loops are quite distinct in terms of scenery and character, and each is named after a famous historical figure linked to the District.
Cycle trail maps, provided by the Chilterns District Council, are available online:
1. Chiltern Heritage Trail - Harding Route (Yellow Route) [273kb]
2. Chiltern Heritage Trail - Milton Route (Green Route) [289kb]
3. Chiltern Heritage Trail Hampden Route (Red Route) [332kb]
Whether you are an experienced cyclist or a novice, the routes have been carefully designed with the whole family in mind. Two of them include family-friendly sections and designated cycle paths have been highlighted. Each loop is clearly illustrated and described in a full colour leaflet (downloadable above).
Chiltern Cycleway
The Chilterns Cycleway is a 170 mile circular cycle route through the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, taking in the best of Chilterns' scenery. The route is mainly on-road and is signposted throughout.
Browse the Interactive map, which includes information about local accommodation and food outlets.
Sky Ride
Sky Ride is a national campaign from Sky and British Cycling created to inspire and help everyone whatever their age or ability to get on their bikes and have fun.
Its ambition is to get 1 million more people cycling regularly by 2013 and has created a whole range of ways for people to get involved. From big traffic-free events, to local rides, from routes and trails to courses and training, there's something for everyone.
Visit Go Sky Ride for more information
Cycle Buckinghamshire
Bucks County Council has produced a dedicated website giving information on cycle routes around the County, cycling tips and cycle maintenance information. Visit Cycle Buckinghamshire for more information.
Many sportives and cycle events take place in the Chiltern Hills area, thanks to its outstanding scenery and testing climbs. Keep an eye on CTC's events section to see what's coming up. Sportives range from around £20 - £50 depending on the scale of the event or charitable donation - they usually provide way-marked routes, feed-stations and mechanical support.
If you fancy exploring in your own time, some sportive organisers will provide you with maps of their routes free of charge. For example, Cycle Fit details a 100km route and a 150km route on their website and also allows you to download the GPX files.
The Chilterns is home to a number of stately homes, beautiful market towns, stunning countryside and attractions such as Whipsnade Zoo and a number of National Trust properties. To find out more about these attractions, or how to get to them on bike, take a look at the new Visit Chilterns website.

Artis to play in limited role in Civil War
EUGENE, OR - Barring any set backs, head coach Dana Altman says the Ducks will see the return of freshman point guard Dominic Artis in the Civil War on Thursday.
Artis has been out since playing against Washington State on January 23. He's missed a total of total of nine with a left foot injury. The extent of his injury has never been disclosed.
Artis took off his walking boot and practiced with the team on Monday and Tuesday. Altman is cautiously optimistic about Artis' return to game action.
"We don't want any set backs," said Altman. "So, we'll take it really slow. We'll take it really slow Thursday night, but he's moving pretty good. He says he feels good. So, we'll just keep moving forward."
Artis will not start the game against the Beavers. Junior Jonathan Loyd will again the be the starter at point guard. Artis will come off the bench and his minutes will be limited.
"We're just happy that he's with us again," said senior forward E.J. Singler. "I hope his turn around is quick."

Topic: Shrinkage!!!!
Hey, everyone!
The CT Scan shows shrinkage of 4mm!! I know it's not much, but since the drug is just to keep things stable, that's a great and unexpected bit of good news!!
I don't know what my CA 19-9 is yet, but I'm happy!!

Fresh Quest Inc., a Plantation, Fla.-based grower-shipper and marketer, expects to import several varieties of melons from Guatemala for 25 weeks, from November through April, said Alan Guttmann, the company's president.
The company supplements Central American supplies the rest of the season with domestically grown melons.
Fresh Quest's 2013-14 roster from Guatemala should include cantaloupes, honeydews, galias, mini-watermelons and full-size watermelons, Guttmann said.
Mother Nature hadn't cooperated fully at the beginning of the deal, he said.
"We're a little lighter than we anticipated to start. The weather's been less than ideal. It's always rainy in Central America this time of year, but this year counts as one of the rainier ones."
Guttmann said he expected yields to be down this season not only in Guatemala but — based on what he hears from other growers and marketers — Honduras as well.
That's not all bad news, however, Guttmann said, considering what he called the "doldrums" in which cantaloupe markets were stuck in late November.
Not that 2013 was anything out of the ordinary.
"Thanksgiving is a veg holiday," Guttmann said.
The first cycle of Fresh Quest's Guatemalan melon production takes place in the Zacapa region of the country, Guttmann said.
The company was in full production from Sacapulas by early December.
Production later shifts to Guatemala's Mita region and should run concurrently with Honduran and Costa Rican melon production this year, Guttmann said.
Acreage in Mita is up this season, but Fresh Quest expects shipments from Zacapa to be down.
Again, that's not necessarily a bad thing, as Guttmann hopes this season isn't a repeat of the 2012-13 Central American deal.
"We hope (the decline in Sacapulas shipments) helps the market," he said.
"The markets were oversupplied last year. I'm forever optimistic that we'll have a good season, but last season was tough, and this one's not starting out all that great."
The Arizona deal went late this season, which didn't help the beginning of the import deals, Guttman said. Nevertheless, he remained optimistic heading into the winter holidays and New Year.
"All the signs are good" for stronger markets, he said.
About 119 million pounds of honeydews and 421 million pounds of cantaloupe shipped from Guatemala to the U.S. last season, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

One of the first things newly elected Corona City Councilman Dick Haley wants to do is dig into the numbers.
The city treasurer who passed up a fourth term in that seat for a city council bid, campaigned heavily on the platform of fiscal conservatism, saying that Corona's money belongs to the people, and should be spent carefully.
Along with that message, he said he didn't support annexing a large swath of land to the south into Corona if the numbers were not better than the $550,000 annual surplus cited in a city report, because that did not pass his fiscal litmus test.
"I just want to get actual proof, just real-life numbers to see why it makes sense to them," Haley said about why other council members support the adding of 15 square miles along Interstate 15 to the city. Annexing the area, including the Temescal Valley, would increase Corona's bills and demand on services.
On Tuesday, Nov. 6, voters also re-elected Councilman Jason Scott.
Haley's stance could slow momentum behind the push for annexation spearheaded by Mayor Eugene Montanez, an idea on which the city has spent time, money and staff time to promote to Corona residents.
Haley wants a financial cushion, and in these economic times, cushions are hard to come by.
"Here's my big concern, if we take a look at a project and it makes sense, and it costs $10 to do something, then all of a sudden something goes squirrelly — jeepers, there's not a way to recoup the money," Haley said.
At the top of Haley's to-do list are restoring Corona library hours to provide access for the disadvantaged and hiring a recruiter to bring business to Corona that would generate tax dollars for city coffers.
The fiscal conservative plans to bring in the recruiter while keeping a tight financial belt by investing in the idea of a greater return, he said.
"That particular person is not a cost at all. I think it's an investment. If we can get the right person, and that person can generate hundreds of thousands of dollars," Haley said.
Corona's economic development department has been reduced to two interns, one full-time employee and a portion of management.
Restoring library hours is what he calls a quality-of-life issue.
"We have to be able to take care of people who are poor and the library offers access to the Internet to everybody," he said.
The animated former Marine, who manages to weave military analogies into most conversations, described the city as "right at the edge" financially. But with ideas and drive, he said, that can change.
"I don't like waiting for anything, because personally, I don't have much patience," Haley said. "I want to be very, very, proactive and try to solve 10 problems, and maybe solve three."

Food and printing may not normally go hand-in-hand, but one developer hopes that it's the way of the future. And his 3D pizza printer is turning plenty of heads at a conference in Texas.
According to KXAN, one of the biggest ideas presented at the South-by-Southwest conference is a 3D food printer.
Initially created to provide nutrients and food sources to astronauts, the printer turns powdered ingredients into edible, layered food. The first food served – pizza. The printer squeezes out dough, sauce and a cheese topping onto a heated plate, and 12 minutes later, a little pizza is ready to eat.
"We can pretty much provide food-on-table with very few resources," Anjan Contractor, developer of the 3-D food printer, said. "So we believe that this is the future of food."
Contractor is backed with a $125,000 grant from NASA to build the 3D-printed pizza prototype.
For now, food printing will be out of reach of taste buds until the FDA approves the printed products, but the developer believes that in the future, the technology could be in every kitchen.
Read, "3-D food printing emerges at SXSW Eco."
Food printing has been around for several years. A group at Cornell University created a printer in 2011 that could print chocolate, cheese, scallops, celery and turkey. Click here for more.
Earlier this year, Dutch scientists printed a burger with a $325,000 price tag. Though it may appease some vegetarians and animal rights activists, the product failed its first public taste test. Ranchers and farmers can rest easy for now — chefs still prefer real beef over synthetic.

Simulation Models
Physical principles for simulations
- We confirm the movement of rocket on 2D plots in simulation.
- We assumed that movement of biomolecular rocket is affected by following four forces and dynamics in simulation.
1. Driving forces from Bubble detachment
- Biomolecular rocket accelerates by a single bubble detachment every Δtd seconds .
- Bubbles detachments occur when fixed time Δtd passed.
- We defined growth of bubbles
- Δtd is defined as the time which is required bubbles to reach its detachment radius Rd.
- We defined these vi and Δtd as following formula.
- It helps Biomolecular Rocket go straightforward.
2. Fluid resistance
- Fluid resistance depends on the velocity of Biomolecular Rocket and viscosity of solution.
- Resistance is defined as
- Therefore, acceleration of Biomolecular Rocket is
- It decreases speed of Biomolecular Rocket.
3. Translational Brownian displacement
- Translational Brownian movement prevents Biomolecular Rocket from going straight forward.
- This is because body of rocket is so small and smaller particles can't be controlled under Brownian Movement.
- Translational displacement by Brownian movement is described as
4. Rotatory Brownian changes
- Rotatory Brownian movement decreases the directional controllability of Biomolecular Rocket.
- Movement of Biomolecular Rocket is also much influenced by Rotatory Brownian Movement
- Rotatory changes by Brownian movement is described as

Washington County property owners will see no tax increase under the county's 2013 posted budget, and a deficit of $1.048 million has turned into a $454,000 surplus.
The $71.5 million general fund budget, an increase of 3.9 percent from last year, is based on a property tax levy proposed to remain at 24.9 mills.
"We're not done whittling away at the budget," said Commission Chairman Larry Maggi, returning from a meeting of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania in Hershey. "It's still a work in progress."
One area that won't be shrinking is the cost of employees' Highmark health insurance, up 8 percent for those under age 65. The line item increased by $856,332 from last year, and health care for current employees and retirees accounts for $11,559,573 of the general fund budget, about 5 mills' worth of revenue. Some employees' health care costs are reimbursed through federal and state programs.
Elected officials' contributions to health care will be increasing to 7 percent from 2012's 5 percent, said Roger Metcalfe, county finance director, and it's likely that salaried employees will be contributing an identical amount.
The cost of running the 911 emergency dispatch center through the county's Public Safety Department has also gone up $150,000. The center is receiving less revenue from a telephone landline surcharge because there are fewer landlines.
"It's the same for all the counties," said Commissioner Harlan Shober, who also had just returned from the CCAP meeting. Shober called centralized emergency dispatch "an important part of what we do."
The county's general fund portion of its employees' retirement allocation is expected to be $571,303, and the total taxpayer contribution is expected to be about $4 million. "We are fully funding our pension," Shober said. "Some of the counties are not fully putting that money in."
County employees, by state law, have a defined-benefit retirement plan. Commission Vice Chairwoman Diana Irey Vaughan said the state hasn't lived up to its part of the bargain for its employees but said funding retirees' plans "is a good practice (Washington County) has always had."
It came to light last week that the general fund had not received $235,000 from the courts as expected for adult probation services, and a transfer had not taken place in time to be added to the 2013 posted budget.
Because Washington County has its local share of casino gambling revenue and Act 13 money from the Marcellus Shale gas well impact fee, "sometimes people are given the impression that the county's flush with money," Maggi said. The local share does not go into the general fund, and the Act 13 money, totaling $4.4 million, has yet to be allocated.
"The money shouldn't go for personnel and pay raises, but one-time projects," Maggi said. "We can't go out and spend like a drunken sailor."
The county has a surplus of about $12 million, but Shober cautioned, "In the long term, you can't keep using your fund balance."
The commissioners are scheduled to adopt the budget at their Dec. 20 meeting.
The 95-page budget is available for public inspection from 9 a.m. to 4:30 today and during the same hours beginning Monday. Washington County offices are closed Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Toyota has agreed to pay a record fine of $17.35 million to settle federal government claims that the automaker failed to report a safety defect in a timely manner, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday.
The fine is the single largest civil penalty ever paid to the NHTSA for violations stemming from a recall.
The fine, the maximum allowed under the law, is connected to Toyota's problems with unintended acceleration two years ago that led to the largest recalls in its history.
"Safety is our highest priority," U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement. "With today's announcement, I expect Toyota to rigorously reinforce its commitment to adhering to United States safety regulations."
Federal law requires automakers to notify the NHTSA within five business days after discovering a safety defect or determining a vehicle is not in compliance with federal safety standards. The company also must conduct a prompt recall of the vehicle.
"It's critical to the safety of the driving public that manufacturers report safety defects in a timely manner," NHTSA Administrator David Strickland said in a statement. "Every moment of delay has the potential to lead to deaths or injuries on our nation's highways."
Toyota, whose U.S. sales and marketing headquarters is in Torrance, agreed to the fine without admitting that it violated the U.S. Safety Act.
In a statement, Ray Tanguay, chief quality officer of Toyota North America, said: "We agreed to this settlement in order to avoid a time-consuming dispute and to focus fully on our shared commitment with NHTSA to keep drivers safe."
Tanguay said the Japanese automaker is dedicated to customer safety and will continue to strengthen its data collection and evaluation process.
Under Tuesday's settlement, Toyota also agreed to make internal changes to its review of safety-related issues in the U.S. market and to improve its ability to foresee the dangers from potential safety-related defects.
Larry Dominique, executive vice president at the auto pricing website TrueCar.com, praised the NHTSA's actions.
"NHTSA takes its role seriously and expects manufacturers to inform them quickly of potential safety issues," Dominique said in a statement. "The Toyota fine is an example of ensuring manufacturers respect the process and notify NHTSA in a timely manner."
The NHTSA fine involved cases of floor mats becoming trapped under the driver's gas pedal in the 2010 Lexus RX 350 and 2010 RX 450h, possibly leading to unintended acceleration.
Toyota recalled 154,036 of the vehicles in June of this year. But that was a month after the NHTSA informed Toyota of the pedal entrapment issue.
The last time the NHTSA fined Toyota was in 2010, when the carmaker agreed to pay a total of $48.8 million for three separate investigations into the company's handling of recalls involving millions of vehicles for sticking gas pedals and faulty steering rods.

Outside of an excellent Brink interview over at Game Informer, this week's roundup covers a diverse range of news pertaining to Sin City and Hell.
id Software's DOOM II RPG hit the iPhone last week, and IGN Wireless and Touch Arcade both gave the portable dungeon romp great reviews. Head over to iTunes to pick it up. It's only $3.99, after all; less than the price of your average fast food hamburger, and likely less hellish in the end.
On the id side of things, be sure to check out page 28 of the new Texas-specific Edge e-zine, which features a short-but-sweet interview with Todd Hollenshead.
You can almost see the high-water mark where the latest wave of Fallout: New Vegas details broke and rolled back. The news continues to percolate, with the PC Gamer podcast crew chatting up the game on their latest episode. PC Gamer also lists the game as one of the top 10 of 2010, along with GameZone.
Finally, in the realm of decade-long accolades, good old RPGamer named Fallout 3 its fifth favorite RPG from a list of hundreds.
That about rounds out the roundup. As always, let us know in the comments if you spot any other interesting stuff.

Answer:Easy to do! Get a rubber mallet hammer and tap intensely, (but carefully), upward on the top shelf near each post. The vibration and tapping will loosen the shelf unit upward from the black insert shelf stop lock which is in two pieces. This is easier to do with two people. Continue the process until all shelves are removed. The casters, if installed properly and not overly tightened, should be removable, but if you're moving, you might just want to leave them in the posts their in, but keep in mind that the caster brackets bend easily.
