SARAH JONES stays at The Llawnroc Hotel and soaks up the unspoilt charms that makes Cornwall the perfect getaway.
IT almost felt as though we had stumbled onto the pages of one of Enid Blyton's Famous Five adventures.
As we made our way down the narrow country lane towards the secluded cove at Gorran Haven, it really was like discovering a secret hideaway.
Well off the beaten track, the idyllic little Cornish coastal village peppered with quaint fishermen's cottages was the perfect haven of peace and quiet that we had been craving.
But despite the unspoilt surroundings, the area's only hotel quickly proved itself to be well and truly moving with the times.
Opening in 2010, The Llawnroc Hotel is a boutique luxury hotel which prides itself on its spacious rooms, stylish décor, bespoke furnishings and stunning sea views.
Located at the tip of a peninsula on the southern Cornish coast near St Austell, the hotel commands an important position at the top of the bay.
Staying there for two nights, as soon as we stepped inside we were impressed by Llawnroc's chic and contemporary feel.
Met with a warm welcome from reception staff, we were swiftly given a quick tour of the light and airy hotel and shown to our room.
With a huge comfy bed, iPod docking station, flat screen TV and slick bathroom complete with a separate drench shower, it had all the mod cons but the tasteful decor ensured it was in no way pretentious.
Boasting 18 rooms, luckily one of our windows looked over the rooftops towards the sea.
Straight ahead of us we could watch people amble their way down to the beach, while to our right was a cliff backed by rolling green countryside.
With a table booked for dinner at the hotel's Gwineas Bistro on both nights, we enjoyed a truly fabulous meal on each occasion.
Using locally sourced and seasonal produce including fresh fish and seafood, the food here is a real highlight.
The weather – as it has been for most of summer 2012 – was pretty dismal when we visited, which was a shame as we couldn't make the most of the lovely outdoor terrace.
Fortunately the hotel has plenty of space to relax indoors, with lots of comfy sofas and a great reading room.
Despite the weather though, we enjoyed several trips down the hill to the beautiful sheltered bay.
Perfect for families and swimmers, the sandy beach offers some of the safest bathing in Cornwall.
And if you want to work off some calories, its position on the south west coastal path makes it great for walks.
We didn't have time to venture any further afield during our stay, but Llawnroc is also positioned in easy reach of two of Cornwall's top tourist attractions, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
With so much both indoors and outdoors, The Llawnroc ('Cornwall' spelt backwards if you were wondering!) is a true Cornish gem.

In light of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. that left 26 dead, the San Diego Unified School District is calling for a safety plan at its schools.
Board member Scott Barnett is asking his colleagues for a district-wide review of the safety plans. They also hope to find out how much it would cost to make improvements during the meeting on Tuesday night.
The report would take into account the threat to students, teachers and faculty during a variety of circumstances, including natural disasters like earthquakes or fires.
Barnett said the goal is not to make schools an armed fortress, but fully and properly prepared for potential dangers.
Currently SDUSD has its own police department, and it is working on technology that would stream video from each campus directly to police vehicles.

I've not seen the "move" option used in a very long time. I had thought it had been removed or rendered non-functional. I guess that it has merely fallen out of favor. Unless the move function has changed? It used to leave the husk of the topic behind and link to its new location. Has it been enhanced to simply move it and all traces?

Teacher mugged and thrown in icy canal
AN Irish teacher is lucky to be alive after being mugged and thrown into a canal during a holiday in Amsterdam.
Ronan Kennedy (27) thanked a mystery stranger who pulled him from the water and gave him the kiss of life.
Mr Kennedy was doing a whistle-stop tour of European cities before flying back to Australia, where he teaches woodwork at a Catholic college in South Morang, Victoria.
He arrived in the Dutch capital on Monday following visits to Paris and Bruges.
"I'm lucky to be alive today," said Mr Kennedy, from Killybegs in Co Donegal.
"I was attacked by a mugger and thrown into a canal in Amsterdam. I couldn't get out myself — it was so cold.
"I didn't last long. I owe my life to the Dutch person who dragged me out of the canal and resuscitated me."
The teacher paid tribute to the Amsterdam emergency services for arriving on the scene within minutes "and the hospital doctors and nurses for looking after me all night".
Mr Kennedy's Australian phone was destroyed in the incident, and he was only able to tell family and friends about his ordeal through his Facebook page after he was released from hospital.
"Amsterdam is a great city — I guess I was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Ronan, who had spent New Year skiing with friends from Donegal in Italy.
Some of his friends initially thought that the teacher's near-death experience was a prank he had pulled.
But Ronan insisted: "Unfortunately, I've got the hospital |bill to prove it, which the insurance company will be getting when I get back to Australia."
He is due to fly back to his adopted home today via Singapore.

Slight problem that this bloke's an Ed Milliband looky-likey but;
Yusuf Yerkel is a senior adviser to Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan – a man who thinks his country should join the EU.
He is usually to be seen at the side of his boss. He is an educated man – not least at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. So to say he should know better is putting it mildly.
But there he is, in front of several photographers and cameraman, in Soma yesterday, kicking a protester whilst he is both lying on the ground and being manhandled by several military guards.
I think it's images/attitudes like this of 'people who should know better' and the fact that Turkey feels, when all said and done, a lot more 'foreign' to most UK citizens than most other European states.
It certainly fuels the argument (from a number of political parties) that we are, perhaps, too ready to see an ever expanding EU as a 'a good thing' regardless of the economic and social consequences for existing members and seemingly regardless of the political, monetary and social stability of the new members.

Roy Hampton , opened Sunday school with the reading of the 9th chapter of Matthew, verses 37 and 38, "The Harvest Truly Is Plenteous, But The Laborers Are Few." He then led in prayer.
Our lesson today, was Acts, chapter 2, about being filled with the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost. The chapter fully explains itself.
Roy Hampton took up the morning offering and Joe Lafferty led the offering prayer. The congregation sang three songs and Susie Sisco sang a special.
For the worship service, Joe Lafferty's text was the 10th chapter of Acts, and Roy Hampton spoke on the 24th and 9th chapters of Matthew.
We are all still fighting allergies and colds. About the time someone
gets over it, someone else gets it.
We had a good "Tag That Preacher" service Saturday night. I always enjoy the fellowship we have in our Christian brothers and sisters in Christ.
We sang the invitational song and Joe Lafferty dismissed the service in prayer.
Don't forget, Breedon's Friday Night Singing, March 9th at 7:00 p.m. After the singing, we will have coffee and snacks. Hope we all are feeling better by then.
Until next time…may God bless.

The House in Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union had under consideration the bill (H.R. 2354) making appropriations for energy and water development and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, and for other purposes:
* Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Chair, I am concerned about the devastating impact that the underlying legislation will have on the clean energy economy. H.R. 2354 is a disappointment to those working to advance the clean energy economy because it slashes investments--by 40 percent from the President's request--in the new clean energy jobs of the future, ranging from solar to biomass to wind, and new technologies for more energy efficient cars and buildings.
* Today, more than ever, we need investments in clean energy research, innovation, and manufacturing--investments which can grow new industries, create American jobs, reduce U.S. oil dependence, and increase our national security. H.R. 2354 abandons efforts for a new American energy economy that would lower electricity prices for families, reduce our reliance on foreign energy, and increase energy independence.
* While I understand the fiscal situation we are in, H.R. 2354 cuts programs that can be targeted to actually grow our economy. The bill slashes Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, EERE, by 27 percent, cuts the Advanced Research Projects Agency--Energy, ARPA-E, by 44 percent, cuts Weatherization Assistance Grants and associated training programs by 81 percent, all the while increasing funding for fossil fuel research and development. I believe that this demonstrates that the priorities of H.R 2354 are aligned with outdated 20th century energy policies that will not recharge our new economy. A 21st century Energy and Water Appropriations Act should include measures to increase funding for renewable energy and clean technology and these increases should be offset by dollars from fossil energy research and development.
* To help strengthen our economy and create new jobs, we must rebuild America. In a report released this week by the Brookings Institution entitled ``Sizing the Clean Energy Economy: A National and Regional Green Jobs Assessment,'' it is reported that 2.7 million Americans are now employed in the clean technology economy. The report found that in the State of Washington, there are 83,676 clean energy jobs, with an annual wage of $46,457. The report showed that median wages for clean-economy workers are about 13 percent higher than median U.S. wages. The clean technology economy has created export intensive jobs; on average, twice as much value is exported from clean tech jobs than the national average. The potential for future job creation in the clean energy economy is endless and targeted investments in this new economy make sense.
* As the House of Representatives considers amendments to H.R. 2354, I urge my colleagues to consider the opportunities for economic growth and job creation embodied in the clean energy economy and oppose the misguided priorities in this bill.

'The Explanation for Everything': Faith trumps doubt
A review of Lauren Grodstein's smart third novel, "The Explanation for Everything," which tells the story of a teacher and widow at a small New Jersey college who improbably finds faith while teaching evolutionary biology. Grodstein will appear Nov. 8 at Seattle's Elliott Bay
The Washington Post
Author appearance
Lauren Grodstein
The author of "The Explanation for Everything" will appear at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Seattle's Elliott Bay Book Co., 1521 10th Ave., Seattle; free (206-624-6600 or elliottbaybook.com).
In a time when biologists write books such as "The God Delusion" and 93 percent of the members of the National Academy of Sciences reportedly embrace atheism or agnosticism, it's easy to forget that science was once the province of the faithful: Newton, Copernicus, Mendel, Max Planck, Einstein.
But Lauren Grodstein hasn't forgotten, and what she's fashioned in her smart, assured third novel, "The Explanation for Everything," (Algonquin 338 pp., $24.95) is a gripping tale of a biologist who finds himself approaching midlife and suddenly finding faith. Andy Waite, a widower and single father, is teaching evolutionary biology at a small New Jersey college when Melissa, a young evangelist, asks him to advise her independent study on intelligent design. Hopeful he can show her the Darwinian light, Andy agrees, igniting a debate between atheism and Christianity, evolution and creationism, that simmers through the novel.
Grodstein is both smart and respectful; she plays fair with her arguments. Just as the novel's Christians observe the world intent upon sustaining their beliefs, so do the scientists. Andy conducts research, "dosing more mice and then dissecting them in order to prove his ever more unprovable theory that alcoholics were resistant to behavioral changes." Andy is determined, we soon learn, because his wife was killed by a drunken driver, whom Andy is intent on keeping in jail.
Although the book is, on the surface, an intellectual novel, it is much more doggedly the tale of Andy's recovery as a widower. The atheist-creationist debate between Andy and Melissa is soon quieted as Melissa begins baby-sitting Andy's daughters and a risky but mostly chaste romance flourishes. Intellectual conversation takes a back seat to emotional connection, Andy appears to find God (somewhat rapidly), and the story races forward on the narrative fuel of his new infatuation, lingering grief and his morally questionable desire for vengeance.
Which is just fine — because Grodstein's real gift is her emotional precision. Andy's letters to the parole board petitioning against the release of the man who killed his wife are some of the most emotionally raw letters available between two covers. The intimate scenes between Andy and a single mother who's a recovering alcoholic are deeply moving. And Andy's touching struggle to raise two motherless daughters and deal with his intellectually vapid students renders him a sympathetic protagonist, despite his occasional inertia. "All his life he'd been like that," Grodstein writes, "forgoing the small good decision in favor of entropy, letting the chips fall where they may." It's worth noting, too, that the novel's depiction of Exton Reed College is superb; with a single dinner party and a few student encounters, Grodstein captures a small school's intimacy and claustrophobia.
Where the novel slackens is in the relationship between Andy and Melissa. Melissa is both nemesis and catalyst to Andy, but because of her youth (she is 21, Andy 41) and her monochromatic emotional landscape (her sweetness and certainty at times veer toward simplicity), she is neither a worthy adversary nor partner. While this is intentional, their scenes lack the life and luster of Andy's other encounters.
The most fascinating aspect of Grodstein's tale is the degree to which characters' daily emotions are shaped by their worldview. Finding or losing God proves to be an equally destabilizing tectonic shift, and this novel is full of them — some plausible, some less so — but their cumulative force will leave you happily unsteady, and moved.
Jennifer Vanderbes' third novel, "The Secret of Raven Point," will be published in February.

Outbursts of pessimism for the near future marked the first months of the year 1999 in Norway, but after midsummer a more optimistic mood prevailed. The moods were keyed to the price of oil; during the spring months the market price for Brent crude more than doubled over the new year's level of about $10 a barrel. Consequently, the transfer of a surplus of NKr 56 billion (about $7.3 billion) to the Government Petroleum Fund, which had been planned in the draft budget and approved by the Storting (parliament), went through as planned. No serious implications for growth ensued, because oil prices above $15 a barrel were sufficient to maintain oil and gas production in the North Sea.
In any event, compared with 1998, gross domestic product in Norway grew by only 1.5%, the consumer price index maintained a 2.5% growth rate, and private and public consumption grew markedly less than in 1998. Wages grew by 5% in the private as well as in the public sectors; one consequence was a reduction of 1999 investments, both domestic and offshore, by as much as 10%. Projections for offshore investments in 2000 were accordingly lower as well, by as much as 25%. Prospects for profits in the North Sea seemed low, and no serious search for new big oil and gas deposits was undertaken. In September the Bank of Norway declared that a period of weaker growth had replaced the continuous economic boom that Norway had been enjoying since 1992.
Local elections took place in September. Voter participation was about 60%, significantly lower than usual, perhaps as a result of the steady, continuing rise in living standards. Calculated on a national scale, the Norwegian Labour Party won only about 29% of the votes in the local elections, their worst showing since the 1920s. In October Labour entered into negotiations with the minority centre coalition government in order to have a say in the draft budget and to show a spirit of cooperation with the government during the run-up to the general elections in 2001. Labour's decision was of historic importance, as it signified that the party had given up its traditional objective of a majority government for a more pragmatic policy. By negotiating with the left, the minority centre government showed that it commanded the perfect bargaining position in the Storting.
Norwegian membership in the European Union was not an issue in 1999, either in Norway or in the EU itself. In fact, however, Norway followed the economic and political guidelines issued in Brussels and thereby gained a reputation for cooperation and loyalty that put the country in good stead within the EU system. Elsewhere in Europe, as a NATO member Norway took part in the military actions against Yugoslavia, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Knut Vollebæk had a very busy year as the chairman of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Reynolds Accuser Agrees To Testify
Sat., Aug. 5, 1995
After eight days in jail for refusing to testify, the one-time accuser of U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds finally agreed Friday to answer questions at his sex-abuse trial.
But since the day's court session ended before 19-year-old Beverly Heard could take the stand, she must stay behind bars at least until Monday, when she is expected to testify.
Prosecutors will have to wait to find out whether their key witness will go back to the original story she recanted earlier this year - that she had sex with Reynolds when she was underage.

Saturday, Aug. 7, 1943
Tunis, Tunisia, North Africa
Today marks the end of the fourth week of the invasion. My original guess of six weeks may still be good because opposition now is pretty terrible. They have the Nazi forces pinned up in the north east corner and all hell is letting loose. The Nazis don't give up so easily. There are several wild rumors that Sicily fell last night but no verification. It would suit me fine. We are all wondering still just what Italy will finally decide to do. One thing seems certain and that is if she does capitulate we won't get her navy as the Nazis would never let a plum like that drop into our laps. It will in all probability be scuttled.
Well the Captain is really getting this outfit on the rocks. The boys are all complaining and petty differences that have always been left alone prior to this are becoming headaches. Little jealousies are getting in the way of the work and he doesn't see a thing wrong. Each man is getting so he is afraid he may have to do more than another and a continuous bitching campaign is now in progress. It's got me worried sick, because I can't do a damn thing about it. I've found out the boys are doing a little undermining up at headquarters and its beginning to show results. I think the Captain is beginning to reside in the chamber of disfavor and is completely unaware of it. It may not do any good, but I'm not one for interfering with others' business. I went over to Janette's tonight and had dinner. They certainly have been swell to me.

1943 Diary Recaps
January 1943 Recap: We first met Lt. Reichard in January, stationed at McClellan Air Base in Sacramento, where he was in charge of a motor pool unit. Expecting to be sent overseas, their orders were changed and they became restless to see action. Lt. Reichard's sweetheart, Ginnie, would write frequently, and he would go to dinner and movies with local girls – Dorothy, in Sacramento, and Marie, when the unit moved to Gowen Field in Boise, Idaho. The men have spent their days in lectures, and physical demonstrations to try to keep sharp mentally and physically. But they are getting increasingly restless.
February 1943 Recap: The unit continues to be restless as they still haven't any orders for overseas. The days are kept busy with lectures, physical demonstrations, and frequent hikes in the mountains above Boise. Lt. Reichard receives a promotion to Lieutenant First Class and continues to write to Ginnie back home, though her letters are becoming more infrequent. February 1943 comes to an end with the unit still feeling bored and discouraged.
March 1943 Recap: March brings uncertainties in weather and daily life to Gowen Field. Still no word about overseas orders, the outfit must now share quarters with another unit. There is now time to begin a photo album, collecting pictures from times with the outfit. Letters from Ginnie are becoming more infrequent but there is no shortage of dates with the local girls in Boise. March comes to an end with everyone in the outfit anxiously awaiting word of upcoming furloughs.
April 1943 Recap: Last minute furloughs come through, and Lt. Reichard returns home to Maryland for some time with his family on the farm. He and Ginnie have a chance to talk things over and hopefully save the relationship. Just before leaving Boise, the unit gets orders that a move will come at the end of April. April comes to an end with the men spending a week in Stockton, California getting ready to ship out. But where they are going remains a mystery.
May 1943 Recap: The long journey begins by train as the outfit travels cross country to Camp Shanks, New York, where they will prepare to head overseas. Lt. Reichard now knows the destination: Casablanca, Morocco in North Africa. After ensuring that all the supplies are in order, the outfit boards the "West Point", the newest in troop carriers and heads to sea. Lt. Reichard spends many peaceful evenings enjoying the time at sea before landing in Morocco. May ends with the outfit setting up camp and adjusting to the customs of Morocco.
Lt. Reichard's WWII Diary Project : On January 1, 2009, WorthPoint began a three year project following the life of a WWII soldier through the daily pages of his diary. To read about the inception of this project, or to add your own comments, click here.

When was the last time we've had a POTUS speak so bluntly and affirmatively on these most fundamental matters? Have we ever?
We are commonly rebuffed with the commentary from the left that we (conservatives and libertarians) are willing to have dozens of our citizens–children even–murdered sporadically based on the whims of madmen. "We must stand by and allow our children to be murdered because of our precious Amendment??" they cry.
The sad truth of the matter is that yes, we must. Because the choice is not between "pain" and "no pain." The choice is between "pain" and "more pain." The human condition itself carries with it adversity, strife, struggle, turmoil and pain. Our goal is foolhardy when we seek to eliminate it. We must instead seek to minimize it. Allowing even the weakest of us to repel the ever-present strongmen is the best answer we have. The Second Amendment is the best and surest bulwark that people have against murders on a truly massive and horrific scale.
Food for thought: The 20th century has seen the largest scale mass-murders in the history of mankind. With population continuing to rise, who is to say that without proper care, we won't see proportionally greater atrocities committed? 60 million to become the new 6 million?

London - The family of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler met with Britain's deputy prime minister on Monday to discuss their concerns about the hacking of her phone by the News of the World tabloid.The scandal exploded last week when it was reported that the newspaper had hacked the cellphone of the 13-year-old murder victim in 2002 - even as her family and police were frantically searching for her. The tabloid's operatives reportedly deleted some messages from the phone's voicemail, giving the girl's parents false hope that she was still alive.On Sunday, the 168-year-old News of the World published its final edition, brought down by the scandal over the interception of voicemail messages. The last edition of the weekly paper included an apology to readers for the newspaper losing its way.Clegg meets familyThe hacking scandal has proved to be an embarrassment to the government because one of the senior editors of the paper later worked for Prime Minister David Cameron. His coalition partner, deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, met with the Dowler family early on Monday.The owner of the News of the World, Rupert Murdoch, has traveled to London to manage the crisis on the final day of publication for the Sunday newspaper. But the closing of the News of the World has not ended the crisis, or tempered British anger over improprieties by journalists working for Murdoch.The crisis has jeopardised Murdoch's $19bn deal to take full control of satellite broadcaster British Sky Broadcasting.Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who is responsible for dealing with the proposed bid, said he would seek advice as to whether the scandal raises questions over whether News Corp is "fit and proper" to hold a broadcasting license.Shares in British Sky Broadcasting dropped sharply on Monday amid doubts over the company's ability to take full control of the lucrative satellite broadcaster. Murdoch owns 39% of the broadcaster, but wants to buy the rest.Murdoch backs BrooksThe opposition Labour Party also turned up the pressure. Its leader, Ed Miliband, is working to force a vote in the House of Commons on a motion asking the government to delay a decision on BSkyB.The 80-year-old Murdoch, the News Corp CEO, has publicly backed News International's chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, who led News of the World when its reporters committed some of the most egregious ethical lapses.Murdoch put his hand on Brooks' shoulder on Sunday and they smiled for a pack of photographers gathered outside his London apartment before walking to a nearby hotel for a meal.She has insisted she was unaware of the hacking.
So evil people are all over the world ne!! Shame to this journos
Wow, I was not aware that they had deleted certain voicemails in order to keep the family thinking she was still alive. Closed now or not, can action still be taken against Rupert, as head of the company?
no hes too rich
No, didn't know that as well. What a horrible thing to do. I hope those journos get pulled in for this. But then can we blame the journos too much? How much of it lays at the feet of the readers? When "Charlene to produce heir before divorce" is the most read story on News24 it goes to show how much we rely on sensationalism.
Yes, it's shocking. I saw one of the local papers already reported that Charlene and her husband never shared a bed while they were here. How awful! Anything for sensation.
Rupert "Mad dog" Murdoch must pay !!!

- United States Grand Prix West
Villeneuve beats Scheckter again at Long Beach
Gilles Villeneuve won the United States Grand Prix at Long Beach - his second successive victory and one which took him two points ahead of Jacques Lafitte in the drivers' championship - but it was a day of confusion and controversy. In between the two victories he had also won the prestigious non-championship Race of Champions at Brands Hatch.
Villeneuve's successes had fuelled speculation that he was the preferred Ferrari driver and not Jody Scheckter, and the team issued a statement that the pair would fight it out. "The team was supposed to consist of me and this Canadian kid," Scheckter said. "I was supposed to do all the winning. He was supposed to watch me and learn."
Both Renaults failed to make the start after drive shaft failures during practice, and then the start of the grand prix itself was close to chaos. On the warm-up lap the dummy grid got scrambled, Lafitte's Ligier suffered a transmission failure and had to be towed back to the pits, and then Carlos Reutemann suffered electrical problems in his McLaren which cost him his front row place.
As the cars eventually started, Reutemann disobeyed marshals and joined before he should have while Villeneuve made a jump start. To general bemusement the stewards opted to fine the pair rather than impose time penalties.
On the first lap there was a pile-up which eliminated Niki Lauda and Patrick Tambay, allowing Villeneuve to build a commanding lead over the Tyrrell of Jean-Pierre Jarier. Jarier proved Villeneuve's best ally as he was almost impossible to pass, allowing the Ferrari to move further and further clear.
Five cars did eventually force a way past, but none managed to seriously threaten the Ferrari 1-2 as Scheckter settled in to a defensive second place. Jarier had no sooner returned to the pits at the end of the race than he was confronted by a fuming Patrick Depailler who harangued him for his blocking tactics.

Totally thrilled that Cochran won the first Immunity Challenge. Thought Malcolm was a total douche for being so arrogant in his confessional that it doesn't matter as Cochran isn't going to be around that long.
Do wish that Phillip would have been able to split the vote and get rid of either Reynold or Eddie then Corrine next week.
Nice blindside...Glad Sherri was able to save herself. Glad Dawn was able to made a decision and be the drive behind ousting Corinne.
Still would love to see Reynold, Eddie and Malcolm go as I can't stand the beautiful alpha males .... totally hope all three are beautifully blindsided and then lets all watch the remaining folks rip each other apart.

NaTraywrote a question about K2 Snowboards Ultrasplit Splitboard on November 25, 2014
Uh... aren't these last year's boards? Someone please tell me K2 isn't selling 2013-14 splitboards at full price and marketing them as current, new boards.
I enjoy the solitude and beauty of all-season backcountry adventures.
Uh... aren't these last year's boards? Someone please tell me K2 isn't selling 2013-14 splitboards at full price and marketing them as current, new boards.
Jones made a great splitboard in the Mountain Twin Split. It skins beautifully, rides powder like a dream, and is very agile. You won't feel like you are on a response-less splitboard (many feel that way). This is a great board and you don't need to size up from your resort size. Can't wait to see the 2015 edition. I will note that many of the Jones splitboards seem to have issues with the connectivity or tightness of the two splitboard halves. Don't hesitate to check them out in a local shop or at REI before buying on Backcountry.com.

I couldn't be happier with this pair of Salomons. As a trail running shoe, it works great and really boosted my desire to run novice/moderate trails in the Front Range. As a hiking shoe, these things rock. You'll never want to put on a real pair of hikers again. As a bonus, they look good and have great support in all areas of the foot.

These Swany gloves are true to size, comfortable, look great, and very warm. I've worn them for 20 ski days after I picked them up mid-season and they still seem brand new. I picked them up for 30% on Backcountry.com (~$70), you really can't beat this quality of gloves at that price. In early January -10 degree conditions, you might want a warmer mitt, but these work great for most conditions.

These goggles are sick. Seriously next level baller status.... especially if you can get them for about 50% off - like right now.
Buy with confidence. Ride with confidence. Everywhere you go it will be like the music from the first ride session in The Art of Flight.

I have the regular width version of this board, size 158. Riding pow will be like a dream, you'll float so effortlessly through the pow you'll start wondering whether you are really surfing. Spring conditions, steeps, variable conditions or hardpack? Dominating as well. I used to ride a Prior Kyhber split and the Jones Solution is superior in every respect, down to the Karakoram splitboard clips, rather than the Voile hooks.
You'll never forget the day you buy this board, especially when you finish touring on a bluebird day when you think, "Well, that was the best day of my life."

Insanely fast, lightweight, best stove ever. Works well in colder temps, something my MSR Simmerlite didn't do very well. Doesn't need priming. You can use your old MSR pots with it, too.

This bag is super light and compresses into Marmot's XS size stuff sack. It's great for backpacking. It also performs well down to the mid 20's. The image is of the Marmot Arroyo inside a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2
The downside of this bag is that is has a very tight and constricting fit from the waist down. A different stitching could increase the foot box by a couple inches. If you are a toss and turn sleeper or sleep on your side, this bag probably isn't the choice for you.
While it packs down small and seems to be good for backpacking, ONLY consider buying this pad if you are planning to use it with a Big Agnes sleeping bag (slip in the bottom of the bag). This pad is extremely noisy when you move even the slightest centimeter. A toss and turn sleeper will wake up their tent partner, other members of the party, and quite possibly the entire campsite.
It has a good R-value and it's lightweight, but it's not really even that comfortable to justify any of the audio issues. Your friends will dislike you if you take this pad along on a trip.
For long-distance, light weight backpacking (is there any other kind), this is THE tent. It's just a hair over two pounds, packs very compactly, sets up super quick, well-ventilated, and provides more space than you think. And yes, it works for two people. I haven't done the "fast-fly" set up (footprint + fly), but it seems awesome.
I've used this on 1 and 2 person backpacking trips, with other male friends, and also my wife. It's great for my wife and I, certainly cozy (but not cramped) for two guys, and absolutely perfect as a solo tent. The fly creates enough of a vestibule in front of the tent door to keep some gear out of the rain.
One minor adjustment I made was buying cord to better guy-line out the tent. The fly contains guy-lines (and I think the tent body also), but I found with longer/better cord, you could stake out the tent to be more taut, enable better ventilation, and gain a few inches of room around the
edges. Also, I wish Big Agnes would make a formal vestibule for this tent like they have for the Emerald Mountain line. Just a formality, though.
Great tent, but most importantly it's amazingly, ridiculously, and wonderfully light. Your days on the trail will be that much better.

For all intents and purposes, this is an excellent, well-rated, good R-value sleeping pad. Very compact. But for for some, such as light sleepers, this might not be your choice. I used it a bunch, but always had trouble dialing in the exact about of cushion. Worse, if you're a light sleeper, move a lot at night or take a while to fall asleep, it's really "noisy". Each time you move an inch it crinkles like you are packing up aluminum foil. Seriously annoying. My friends could hear each movement from 20 feet away in other tents.
This is an excellent pack, useful for everything from multiple night backpacking trips, backcountry skiing, ski mountaineering, and day hikes. This is an excellent update from last year's version, including a larger and better crampon/outside pocket, new optional side straps at the bottom of the pack, a larger side access zipper, more useful ice axes loops, and other small fix-its.
The butterfly motion mechanism is comfortable, especially with a larger load. It doesn't sway side to side, just allowing the pack to stay relatively centered especially when you are scrambling, climbing, or making other drastic, body-shifting moves. It carries a pair of skis/splitboard really comfortably and doesn't block quick access to the pack. You can remove the hipbelt for day hikes.
It doesn't have the best back ventilation, nor are the shoulder straps the most comfortable out there, but it's an extremely durable pack with tons of versatility.

- Extremely lightweight and warm @ 30 F +
- Compresses down to about 9 inches in width (my fits in bottom of Mammut Trion Guide 45+7 pack)
- Fit of the bag is a bit on the tight side, especially in the lower 1/3 of the body
- Useful hood, but very straight forward (no bells/whistles of higher end bags)
Used five times so far. Bag is great, keep me warm on sub-40 nights. Slightly constricted feel in the lower 1/3 of my body. Personal preference, I assume, as I like to have my feet spread apart wider when I sleep.

Quick to inflate and easily adjustable in terms of desired firmness. Takes a bit of time to deflate but just open the air nozzle and take care of the rest of your gear in the morning. Very comfortable, I chose the rectangular over the mummy - barely any weight differential.
Extremely packable and compact. Solid R-Value for air as opposed to foam. You'll sleep like a baby.

This jacket is amazing. It performs flawlessly from the depths of winter to cold summer mornings in the high country. You could put a firehose on full blast about a foot from this jacket and all water would be repelled. Completely bomber construction. Fairly lightweight and packable. Looks good in the city, too.
Seriously, why can't all companies produce quality like Marmot?

Upgraded from the old 2007 Camelbak reservoir that developed a small crack in the sides of the mouthpiece from using it a million times, especially in winter conditions.
Fits most, if not all, packs. Doesn't carry the smell of your energy tablets too badly, in case you aren't diligent and taking care of your gear. Never leaks. New mouthpiece is solid. Inside dries fairly fast.
Don't buy a Platypus or MSR whatever - go with what works. This thing will last a long time, but be sure to buy a cold-weather sleeve and mouthpiece cover. You may want to get an additional tube just for winter as it will endure much harsher treatment and my old Camelbak mouthpiece showed signs of wear and had to eventually be replaced.

You need it for moderate/steep snow climbs and other types of travel. Fairly light, but rugged and really helps on the steeper sections. I haven't used it for glissading or self-arrest, but confident in the piece of gear.
You need an ice axe for certain type of activities. Go with a proven company in Black Diamond and a product that tons of people have.

Super light, compact, all-in-one. Works well in cooler/cold temps. Feels a lot lighter and compact than the original Jetboil.
Boils water in less time than advertised. Stash with this the rest of your ultralight gear and you are ready rock and roll. Make your dehydrated/instant food at home with old Backcountry Pantry/Mountain House bags and you'll save $$$ while eating better.
Get this thing ASAP.

These boots are sick. You will seek out steeps and deep pow - and destroy both of them. Extremely comfortable for hiking sidecountry or backcountry ridgelines. Stylish. Get these while on sale!

13-year-old will face grand jury in slaying
Thirteen-year-old Jean Sanchez managed to take the green shoelaces from 13-year-old Ameer Al Shammari's sneakers, tied his hands in front with one and began strangling him from behind with the other.
When that lace snapped, Sanchez grabbed a cord from Al Shammari's hooded sweat shirt and finished strangling him in an overgrown field off Amherst Street in Black Rock a week ago Friday.
That testimony from Homicide Detective Michael A. Mordino, along with Sanchez's confession, persuaded City Judge Debra L. Givens on Friday to send the case to a grand jury and continue Sanchez's detention.
Defense attorney Paul G. Dell, in questioning the confession, said he was not certain that Sanchez could have committed the slaying by himself and, outside the courtroom, said it would not surprise him if detectives ended up making more arrests in the case.
"As recently as last night, detectives were knocking on doors and looking to take DNA samples from other teenagers," Dell said, adding that he believes his client could have been intimidated into confessing.
During the cross-examination of Mordino, Dell asked, "Did you tell Mr. Sanchez he would go to jail for the rest of his life if he didn't tell the truth?"
"No," Mordino said.
Sanchez, who is 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds, sat quietly at the defense table where an interpreter translated the courtroom exchanges into Spanish. With a bushy head of curly black hair, Sanchez wore a purple, black and gray striped shirt, light gray jeans and black sneakers.
Al Shammari, police said, was 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighed 120 pounds.
In the back row of the courtroom, his mother and father and one of his two older brothers, who all moved to the United States from Iraq about 18 months ago, listened as Assistant District Attorney Paul Parisi made a case that homicide detectives had collected enough proof to move the case to a grand jury review.
The mother, dressed in a black burka, sobbed as family and friends huddled close to her. They too were assisted by an interpreter, explaining the proceedings.
Dell argued that without physical evidence, the confession could not alone sustain a charge of second-degree murder. He urged Givens to drop the murder count and send the case to Erie County Family Court because of the boy's age. Sanchez turned 13 on Jan. 1.
Dell later said that if an oral DNA sample taken from Sanchez last Saturday, when the boy initially denied killing Al Shammari, confirms aspects of the confession he gave police early Tuesday morning, his strategy will focus on discrediting a 36-year-old law that allows 13-year-olds to be charged with second-degree murder.
"When that antiquated law was passed, they didn't even have brain scans that can show 13-year-olds' frontal lobes are not fully developed," Dell said outside the courtroom in making a case that a young teenager lacks the intellectual capacity to think like an adult and should not be charged as an adult.
Mordino testified that Sanchez confessed to the slaying in the second interview, which began shortly after midnight Monday in an office at SUNY Buffalo State's police station.
Dell also repeatedly attempted to ask Mordino about whether Sanchez's statement was voluntary, but was rebuffed by Givens.
Sanchez, according to the testimony, initially had denied any involvement in Al Shammari's death when first questioned by police with his mother present last Saturday at Buffalo Police Headquarters.
An explanation of why the second interview was conducted at Buffalo State was not offered in court, but Dell later speculated that it was held there because it is only blocks away from the Black Rock apartment the Sanchez family had been living in on Germain Street. The family moved after the boy's arrest.
Dell asked Mordino, "Your office is continuing this investigation?"
"That's correct," Mordino said.
But when the detective was asked if additional DNA samples were being taken from other individuals, the judge upheld Parisi's objection to the question.
Following the hearing, Dell was asked how Sanchez was doing.
"He's putting up a good front, but he is scared," the court-appointed lawyer said. He added that the Al Shammari family's pain should not be forgotten. "This is a horrible crime," he said.
Asked whether others might have been involved in the slaying, Dell said, "While his version of what happened is possible, I wouldn't be surprised if others were."
Dell pointed out that Sanchez's parents, who were not in the courtroom, have gone out of their way to cooperate with homicide investigators and on Monday evening walked from their apartment to police headquarters downtown with their 17-year-old daughter so she could be interviewed by police who had asked to speak with her.
"I think this family has been unfairly bashed," Dell said about public comments that have appeared on social media sites. "This family was trying to cooperate with police."
Sanchez was sent back to the Youth Services Detention Center on East Ferry Street. "That's probably the safest place for him to be right now," Dell said about Sanchez at the juvenile facility.
By law, the district attorney's office must present the case to a grand jury within 30 days. If convicted of second-degree murder, Sanchez would be sentenced to at least five years and up to life in prison.

Empirical Generalizations and Marketing Science: A Personal View
Marketing has matured to the point where it seems desirable to take stock of where we are, what we have learned, and fruitful directions for extending the knowledge base that has developed. Science is a process involving the interaction between empirical generalizations and theory. An is "a pattern or regularity that repeats over different circumstances and that can be described simply by mathematical, graphic, or symbolic methods." One of the purposes of the Empirical Generalizations Conference held at Wharton on February 16–18, 1994 was to develop a list of examples of such empirical generalizations in marketing. Empirical generalization can precede a theory to explain it or it can be predicted by a theory. Science is the process of interaction between theory and data that leads to higher level theories. Examples are provided here of empirical generalizations in marketing and their theoretical counterparts. One example is provided of a higher level theory.

A Bluetooth-Enabled Burqa

Category: Technology Year: 2008 Rating: 2
Islamic Law keeping you down? It's hard to send suggestive signals to the guy at the next table when you're wearing a head to toe burqa. Leave it to the Germans to solve the problem. Enter CharmingBurka.
Berlin-based designer Markus Kison has developed a digitally-enabled robe that will send images of the wearer to nearby cellphones. What a way to beat the system! The modern Muslim woman just got one step closer to the 21st Century.
It will be great when this type of technology goes mainstream. We could ping someone with a great photo of ourselves on those bad hair days ('I usually look like THIS!'), or just have cool stuff on hand to share with friends or strangers. If you're looking for a job, you could keep a digital resume handy just in case. In the short term, we'll probably just be getting a lot of spam and advertising sent to our phones. But, I think this is just another example of a greater trend of the device melting away as we move closer to ubiquitous computing.
