West Ham team news: Predicted XI to face Chelsea
New Premier League season, new stadium, new players, but can West Ham carry on last year's impressive form.
First up it's Chelsea in a huge London derby at Stamford Bridge, but can the Hammers show new Blues boss Antonio Conte just how difficult the English top-flight will be?
Barring humiliating 4-1 defeats to Tottenham and Swansea, the Hammers had a great campaign, putting Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Man City to the sword at various points.
They have, so far, kept hold of superstar midfielder Dimitri Payet, despite post-Euro 2016 interest, and have added a selection of stars to Slaven Bilic's squad.
The Frenchman, though, is unlikely to start in this fixture due to his summer exertions, while Aaron Cresswell, Manuel Lanzini and Gokhan Tore will miss out through injury.
So what will the West Ham team look like? Click the right arrow above to see our predicted XI…

DWTS 9 Cast – Spotlight on Joanna Krupa
Born in Poland, Joanna Krupa is a top model, TV actress and host recently seen on Superstars, partnered with Terrell Owens. That partnership was rather disasterous, and Joanna was not afraid to tell ALL about it. 🙂 They were eliminated once, got brought back due to an injury on another team, and then, I believe, Terrell quit the game. From JoannaKrupa.com:
Born in Warsaw and raised in Chicago (with a strong will and little tolerance for the word "No"), she convinced her mother to move with her and sister Marta to LA in order to pursue modeling and acting …Scandal free and with nothing but hard work and a positive spirit she made it to become one of the world's most requested models, on to becoming the host of her very own primetime TV show set to air this year.
As for a good cause: PETA's "I Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur " campaign with Joanna turned out to be a massive success around the globe. The billboards are a traffic stopper from Hongkong to France
Joanna Krupa Details
Height: 5'7″
Age: 30

Quote from Joanna Krupa's twitter account about being on Dancing with the Stars:
"i m ready to start training this week for dances with the stars!! cant wait to find out who my partner is!"

Great blade
David S.
As a hunter, and outdoorsman I EDC this blade IWB when I know I'm going to be needing a strong, small fixed blade knife. On multiple occasions I've built fires using this blade to baton my kindling, and after that it was still sharp enough to make feather sticks, wood shavings, and marshmallow sticks. I can't speak for the blade steel highly enough. So far my favorite blade material, it is prone to rust in the exposed areas so I do oil mine from time to time. That being said the coating on these knives is excellent. I've beat the hell out of the coating and while it is very scuffed it's not going to be showing steel any time too soon. If your in the market for a great edc/ small camp fixed blade you won't regret this purchase.

Thinking the African Past and Present
African Thoughts on Colonial and Neo-Colonial Worlds shows the many facets of African engagements with the world. The book starts from the premise that current global asymmetries ascribing Africa to a marginalized position are the effects of colonial and imperial pasts still lingering on. The decolonization process of the post-war years did not radically erode the global power structure which privileges the West in both political and economic terms. While new dependencies emerged, several old bonds were maintained and continue to influence African affairs quite strikingly. It is appropriate, then, to call these continued unequal relations between Africa and the West frankly 'neo-colonial'.
This designation applies all the more as the post-colonial states of Africa inherited a complex legacy of foreign rule – colonial frontiers, colonial languages, colonial infrastructure and authoritarian institutions, as well as the social intricacies and imbalances so characteristic of the 'colonial situation'. The contributions to this volume look at various aspects of these complex processes from intellectual history perspectives. The topics dealt with are manifold. Contributions deliberately attack key themes, ideas and discourses of an intellectual history of Africa ('state', 'modernity', 'development', 'dependency', 'art', etc.), and introduce important engaged public intellectuals from Africa and the African diaspora. What is Africa, and how is she related to the rest of the world? How can she overcome her internal problems and her external dependencies? – These are perennial questions critically tackled by Africans throughout the 20th century. Their thoughts form the core of the present volume.
With contributions by Anaïs Angelo, Paulina Aroch-Fugellie, Lena Dallywater, Lutz Diegner, Myra Ann Houser, Janine Kläge, Sara Marzagora, Felix Müller, Arno Sonderegger, Ninja Steinbach-Huether, and Joanna Tegnerowicz.

Letter: Should have built it right
Dear Editor,
I am writing this because I am a concerned mother of three. I have issues with the fact that this School Board wants to make these kids move again when a school has not even been open a year.
Now I have an 8-year-old, 6-year-old and a 5-year-old that will start school in the fall. Now I want to say that they built this new school (River Crest Elementary) for these kids that they moved last year.
My thing with the school being built is that they left off nine classrooms at the school so at a later date they could build them. Well, it cost more to put them on now and they should have been added to begin with. If they had been built originally, we would not have this problem of the School Board wanting to move these kids around all over again.
It's not fair for these families and the community. They should have thought about this when they were building this school and we would not have this problem at all. It is not right to have to keep moving these kids around and to keep having to explain to them that they have to leave all their friends and everything else because our School Board keeps making mistake after mistake. They just need to finish building those nine classrooms that they left off in the first place.

I ordered this spray from the avon as a friend ordered similar products in the range and I LOVED the smell. I find this smell better than the other room spray fragrances I have purchased from avon, I think this could be due to the fact I really do not like flowery fragrances and much prefer fruity or foody smells. I understand this is my personal preference and others may not agree with this. I previously had sprays of this type from Avon which were watermelon and strawberry and White chocolate fragrances. I use the strawberry and White chocolate in my car and I find it very nice. I have a horse so my car often smells of horse related smells such as horse poo.. When I was pregnant I found the smell of horse poo made me feel sick, so I used the spray to disguise this smell and although my partner did not like the smell of the spray I loved it and it covered the smell of horse poo very well. The fragrance I am basing this review on I use in my home. I find it covers smells well too, which is handy with a baby in nappies and other nasty smells around the home such as smells made by my dogs. Over all I find this a very nice scent but it is not your average smell it IS very sickly sweet and certainly not for people who do not like very sweet smells. Although Avon do a large range of these room sprays and a lot of them are more floral fragrances, so while this fragrance isn't for you it doesn't mean that Avon may not have another scent which you will like
**Introduction and reason for purchase**
I've been a fan of Avon's Naturals range for some time now with their Room & Linen sprays being one of my favourite products. Since they were launched I have bought them on a regular basis, normally every few campaigns, and I only buy them when they are on offer which again is generally on a regular basis.
I tend to have a few of these sprays on the go at any one given time with the one I'm using at the moment being the Apricot & Shea fragrance.
Having used this on several occasions around my home my review will now focus on my experience of this product..
**Price, packaging & availability**
The spray is presented in the same transparent cylindrically shaped bottle as the other sprays in the Naturals collection and is available in one size of 100ml. As the bottle has a slight opaqueness to it but is mainly clear so the liquid can be seen inside which is of a watery consistency and is also clear. On the front of the bottle is a wrap around sticker depicting an image mainly consisting of apricots, and gives the impression that this spray will have a fresh fruity scent. To access the spray there is a reasonable sized plastic nozzle hidden beneath an adequately fitted plastic lid (which isn't tight fitting but neither does it become loose and falls off easy either).
The RRP for these room and linen sprays is a rather extortionate (in my view) £4 which I would never pay as I simply don't think they merit this amount for what they actually are - a glorified air freshener. I purchased this particular fragrance a few months ago when it was part of a 'any 4 for £5' offer and feel it was worth what I paid but I wouldn't pay more than £2 for these sprays which is why I always look out for them being on offer, which luckily with Avon is quite regularly.
**My experience of using Apricot & Shea room and linen spray**
Although I've been buying these sprays since they were first launched I admit I find that certain fragrances can be a bit or miss when it comes to both scent and longevity. One of my favourites is the lavender scented one but I try to limit my use of just one particular fragrance and vary the two to three I often have on the go just to add a bit of variety. I don't use air fresheners all of the time, preferring if possible to open my windows to allow fresh air to penetrate my home, but if a particular room needs a quick burst to revitalize it I opt for one of these sprays. If I do choose to scent my home my preferred method is normally scented candles or wax tarts but as these can take a while to permeate the air then this is where these sprays come in handy as the effects are instant.
I purchased this apricot and shea spray blindly having never tried it, or anything else from the same scented range before as it was a fairly new fragrance to be introduced, but as it worked out at approximately £1.20 being included in the 4 for £5 offer I felt it was worth trying.
I wasted no time in testing this out and it was the first item in amongst my avon order that I opened and proceeded to fragrance my home with it. Having removed the plastic lid, which securely covers the nozzle, I had to initially activate the spray by pressing the nozzle several times which caused the liquid to ascent up the thin straw like device which is attached inside the bottle. Once activated the liquid emits at an even pace and dispenses well covering a large area with just one press of the nozzle so only a few squirts of this per room are needed each time.
My first thoughts once I'd sprayed this in each room was how sweet it came across as, and to be honest it wasn't anything like I'd imagined it to smell. The fragrance is heavy and cloying almost to the point of being sickly and I was disappointed at first as it had a really synthetic scent that didn't smell anything remotely like apricots at all.
Because the spray is water based it is very heavy once spritzed and doesn't hang in the air for very long despite if spritzed upwards it still falls to the ground within seconds. The initial fragrance is very strong but luckily does fade quite quickly leaves a softer, more delicate version which I have to say is an improvement on how it originally comes across.
I live in a small cottage which is all on one floor, so by spritzing in just one or two rooms it is normally sufficient enough to filter through to fragrance the rest of my home. After spraying this apricot and shea in my living room and conservatory I found that due to the strength it exuded into the bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom creating quite an intense aroma.
I found that after around the 5 minute mark this did fade and the aroma it left in its wake did have a slight apricot scent to it but I still found it to be far too saccharine sweet for my liking and was almost headache inducing at times, which is a shame as I normally love anything that includes apricots but this just didn't serve its purpose with me I'm afraid.
This is also a linen freshener and though I have used the other fragrances on my bed linen for example I didn't try this as I felt the scent would be a bit too overwhelming so cannot comment on its effectiveness as a fabric refresher I'm afraid.
As a room freshener I've not really been impressed, which is a shame, but that's what you get for buying blindly I suppose. The only thing I am pleased about is the fact that I didn't pay the full price (not that I would anyway) so to pay approximately £1.20 it wasn't the end of the world but it's not a fragrance I will be buying again in the future.
I've since used this up as I'm not a wasteful person but I wont be repurchasing it again and unfortunately can't really recommend it due to it's intoxicating and overpowering synthetic sickly scent.
I'm awarding this 2/5 for ease of use and the fact that only a small amount is needed per application - making it an economical purchase in the long run *BUT* the overbearing aroma is where it loses the rest of the points.
This is merely my opinion based on my experiences of using this spray but if interested to try out for yourself then it can be bought from Avon either via a Rep through a brochure, online @ www.avonshop.co.uk or eBay where I've seen several bottles for sale.

Lille-PSG 'high risk' for violence
Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 clash at Lille on September 2 has been deemed a "high risk" threat for hooliganism, the French Football League announced.
The DNLH, a national organisation for the prevention of hooliganism, advised the LFP that "grievances exist between the hardcore fans of both clubs, a result of incidents at Lille during their last match in April".
The Ministry of the Interior demanded that the LFP ensures that "only PSG fans, accompanied and protected from their departure from Paris, can access the away end" and that "tickets may not be sold or distributed in the home areas outside of the previously allocated season tickets".
Before last season's match on April 29, 12 people were arrested after a fight between supporters in Lille's city centre.
Seven Lille fans and five away supporters were taken into custody after a mass brawl saw rival hooligans hurl chairs at each other.
There were no serious injuries.

PROVO — Senate candidate Scott Howell wants voters to know that not all Democrats are evil. Sen. Orrin Hatch concedes there are a few good ones, but when they get together bad things happen.
"Let's get the elephant out of the room," Howell said Wednesday during a debate at Brigham Young University. "I'm a conservative Democrat."
The six-term Republican senator gave Howell a "little credit" for being conservative but said he'd have to play ball with his party if he goes to Washington.
"Once a Democrat gets back there he goes right along with the Democratic Party," Hatch said. "Lets face it. That's the liberal party."
Howell replied, "That dog's not going to hunt anymore, senator."
The two candidates tussled over partisanship, health care and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan during their only televised debate. It will be broadcast at 9 p.m. today on several public television stations, including KBYU, KUED and KUEN. Howell and Hatch will meet on KSL Newsradio next week.
"It was finally nice I found him. I've been to all 29 counties and haven't been able to find him," Howell said of Hatch afterward, referring to the lack of face-to-face contests in the election.
Howell dropped several LDS Church references during the hourlong exchange. He brought Mormon missionaries into an answer about war in Afghanistan and again while talking about leadership, along with a mention of a Book of Mormon prophet named King Benjamin.
As he did during the primary election, Hatch reminded voters that he's the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee and touted the possibility of becoming its chairman should the GOP win a majority in the Senate. He also reiterated that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney supports him and wants him in Washington.
"Sometimes I wonder if I'm running against Mitt Romney or Sen. Hatch," Howell said.
"Both of us," Hatch replied.
Howell said Hatch moved so far right to win re-election that he has lost the collaborative spirit he once had. Hatch countered that he has a long history of reaching across the aisle to get things done.
Howell and Hatch differed sharply on the Affordable Care Act commonly called Obamacare.
Calling it "atrocious," Hatch said Obamacare is anything but affordable. Republicans, he said, found some good things in the bill but Democrats wouldn't deal with them on those issues. He said Obamacare will "lead us down to destruction and eat us alive." He favors repealing and replacing it.
Howell called the law a "stake in the ground" that he wouldn't kill but rather amend and improve using some of those Republican ideas. He said he likes that young people can remain on their parents' insurance up to age 26 and that coverage includes pre-existing conditions.
Both candidates became exercised answering questions about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Howell criticized Hatch for voting for two unfunded wars, noting Afghanistan is costing the federal government $300 million a day. He said he wants U.S. troops out of the country immediately because it's a war that can't be won.
The British and the Russians couldn't solve Afghanistan and the United States can't either, he said.
"Let them be themselves. If we do anything, let's send missionaries there. I think they could do a better job than what we've done in the military right now," Howell said.19 comments on this story
Hatch became indignant and raised his voice when defending his votes on the wars.
"When some group of people come and attack our country and kill 3,000 people, you don't sit back and say, 'Oh, we can't spend money on that.' I don't care what it costs to get out there and let them know they can't take over our country and do these things to us," he said.
Republicans and Democrats, Hatch said, agreed to a 2014 withdrawal and the U.S. military is currently training Afghans to take care of themselves.

Detailed Description:
One of the main problems when performing THA via the standard transgluteal approach is the necessary injury of the gluteus medius muscle. The consecutive decrease of contractile muscle substance and the substitution by scar tissue leads to functional deficits of the pelvic-stabilizing musculature with an insufficiency limp in a large number of patients. In the long run the lack of musculature leads to a decrease in bone substance at the insertion sites of the gluteal muscles of the proximal femur. The present study has the aim of establishing a new therapy for iatrogenic gluteal muscle damage. The hypothesis of the present proposal is that intra-muscular (IM) injection of PLX-PAD into the iatrogenically injured gluteus medius muscle after THA results in an improved regeneration of the skeletal muscle tissue and consecutively in an improved functional outcome.
Subjects will be assigned to receive one of the two targeted doses of PLX-PAD or placebo. On the treatment day, after suturing the gluteus medius muscle PLX-PAD or placebo will be applied directly to the site of laceration.
Patients will be followed up for efficacy assessment up to week 26 and for safety assessment (Adverse events, vital signs, ECG, routinf lab and immunological testing) up to week 52 after THA. Patients will be phoned at week 104 in order to inquire about the occurence of new cancer.

For years Ross Perot Jr.'s big AllianceTexas development in North Fort Worth has competed hard to land the biggest North Texas warehousing deals.
But a growing chunk of distribution business has shifted to the Interstate 20 and Interstate 45 corridors in South Dallas County – thanks in large part to the development Union Pacific's rail terminal.
Big warehouse tenants including Quaker Oats, Ace Hardware, BMW and L'Oreal during the last year have flocked to the Inland Port area in Far South Dallas, Lancaster and Wilmer-Hutchins.
And now Perot's Hillwood Properties development company is heading there, too, to take advantage of the burgeoning industrial market.
Real estate brokers say that Hillwood has around 80 acres of warehouse land under contract just east of Interstate-45 in Hutchins.
The property is near the FedEx Ground shipping center, off Cleveland Road.
Ace Hardware is building its new regional distribution center just south of the site.
Property brokers say that Hillwood sees the long-term potential of the area and wants to be part of the building boom. The developer is looking at other property in that neighborhood, too.
With its highly-successful AllianceTexas project north of Fort Worth and the land south of Dallas, Hillwood will be able to compete for more industrial development deals.

Analysis, grades for Mexico-Wales
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Without Javier Hernandez and Andres Guardado on Sunday, Mexico's match against Wales was certainly less star-studded, but no less important.
Guardado and Hernandez are two of Mexico's most established and in-form players and probably have the least need to play in friendlies such as the one Sunday, a 2-0 win for El Tri. Fans who paid top price for tickets would surely be appeased by having stars on the field, but that's hardly reason to dictate tactics.
Unlike U.S. manager Jurgen Klinsmann, who is still trying to establish a first-team identity, the objective in these types of matches for Mexico's Jose Manuel de la Torre is to find playing time for inactive starters Giovani dos Santos and Pablo Barrera, but perhaps most importantly, it's also to find backup options for established players in case of injury or a complicated club situations.

John and Donna Smith and Pete Gordon, one of the owners of the Continental Club, are part of the investment group that purchased the piece of property one block over from the Continental Club and opened Natachee's Supper 'N Punch (3622 Main, 713-524-7203). "We're not looking to do pretty-looking food on a big, white plate, we're doing country food that Mamma would make every day," says Donna Smith.
The place feels like it's been around forever. Nothing's fake — it's all real, including the old refrigerator door that serves as the front door to the bar, salvaged from a building that was being torn down. On the lot next door, you'll find Lacy the horse. "I feed Lacy in the afternoon so she's always around," says Donna Smith. "Last week we took her down to get her blessed."
There had to be a story behind the name. "I found an obit about this guy named Natachee," says Gordon. "He was a fiddler in the '20s and '30s that traveled around the country cooking for everyone and playing in a band called the Skillet Lickers, so this fit perfectly with our association with music." The logo for the restaurant has a large tongue licking a cast-iron skillet.
The day Dish visited, we tried to order punch and the waitress informed us that they were "still working on it, since last week it was a little too strong to serve." Pity. We did, however, order the Skillet Biscuits and Spicy Country Gravy, which are served all day and come with two sausage patties, eggs and homemade biscuits smothered in gravy. Simply put, they were outstanding. The rest of the menu, with several varieties of burger, also looked wonderful. A homemade pineapple pie was the kind only grandmothers seem to know how to bake anymore.

[JURIST] French politicians are criticizing a court's decision to postpone a Muslim suspect's trial on armed-robbery charges during the holy month of Ramadan [Beliefnet.com backgrounder], arguing that it violates France's constitutional separation of church and state. The Court of Assizes at Ille-et-Vilaine on Friday rescheduled the trial "in the interest of a proper administration of justice" after a defense attorney requested the delay because his client would not be fully capable of defending himself after having fasted for 14 days. The attorney general of the Court of Appeal [official website, in French] at Rennes, where the trial is to take place, said the court's decision was based on several factors and added that the judiciary would not "stop judging people of Muslim faith who follow the Ramadan." In an interview [text, in French] with the newspaper Liberation, Urban Affairs Minister Fadela Amara [Time profile], a Muslim herself, called the postponement a "knife wound" to secularism. Right-wing leader Jean-Marie le Pen [JURIST news archive; BBC profile] also denounced the decision. The trial is now scheduled for January 19. BBC News has more. Le Monde has local coverage, in French.
Article I of the French Constitution [text, in French] "ensures equality before the law for all citizens without regard to origin, race or religion." Since 2004, France [JURIST news archive] has banned religious clothing and symbols in public schools [JURIST report] as a measure to protect separation of church and state. Muslim women have opposed the law as discriminatory because it prohibits them from wearing headscarves. A German court upheld a similar ban in March, and the Danish government announced plans [JURIST reports] in May to prohibit judges from wearing religious headscarves. In Turkey, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) last month dropped its opposition to a prohibition on wearing headscarves at public universities after the Turkish Constitutional Court struck down a constitutional amendment [JURIST reports] seeking to relax the ban.

In QuickBooks, you can create classes that you assign to transactions. This lets you track account balances by department, business office or location, separate properties you own, or any other meaningful breakdown of your business.
Many business owners have certain segments of their business that they want to keep a close eye on. By using the class tracking feature, you can define these segments and track their associated account balances on invoices, bills, and other documents.
Businesses with different departments or locations can use classes to report account balances for each department.
For example, if you had a restaurant with three locations, you might create an Uptown, a Midtown, and a Downtown class for tracking account balances by location. A farmer might create a class for each enterprise.For example, Corn, Hogs, and Soybeans. At the end of an accounting period, the restaurant could create separate reports for each location. Likewise, the farmer could create separate reports for each enterprise.

This smells awfully sugary sweet. It definitely smells like warm marshmallow. Or fondant. Yeah, fondant. I can't say as I'm too fond of either to be honest. I prefer marshmallows at room temperature and just as they are. And only whipped cream in my hot chocolate, thanks.
So yeah, I'm a bit concerned. All those fruit blends, where did they go?
The flavour is marshmallow spot on all right. There is lots of it too and I can also tell by the nuttiness underneath that we're dealing with a genmaicha base. But it's sooooooo sweet. And sticky. And sweet.
And rather too much for me, to be honest, which probably points back to aforementioned reservations about warm marshmallows. You know how sometimes you want to make tea sweeter? So you add sugar. What do I add to make it less frightfully sweet?
No, this is just not one for me. It's too sweet and too much and too… It's too much. Even my sweet tooth of considerable proportions can't keep up with this.
The boyfriend thought it was okay, though. I gave him the rest of my cup.

Nike dismiss concerns over Rooney's boots
The man who developed Wayne Rooney's new boot insists it had nothing to do with the injury which threatens to wreck the England striker's World Cup dream.
Rooney was wearing Nike's 'Total 90 Supremacy' boot for the first time at Stamford Bridge on Saturday when he suffered the broken metatarsal which Manchester United have confirmed will rule him out for a minimum of six weeks.
But, while England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson keeps his fingers crossed like the rest of a worried nation, the finger is again being pointed at the new-style boots which some people speculate are the major reason behind such a recent spate of metatarsal injuries.
Nike point out that of the series of England stars to be affected in recent years - including David Beckham, Gary Neville and Steven Gerrard - Rooney is the only one contracted to them.
And, at the high-profile launch of the 'Total 90 Supremacy' boot, which weighs in at a mere 10.5 ounces and features air technology specifically to cushion and protect the foot, boot developer Cedric Collet insisted there was no added risk to the safety of a player by the use of lighter micro-fibres in the boot construction rather than old-style leather.
'Nothing occurred in any of our tests to indicate the player would be at any risk,' said Collet. 'The boot was specifically designed for Wayne and has incorporated three different types of protection for his foot.
'Every time we bring a boot out, the safety aspect is improved in some way. The boot is more durable and it keeps the shape around the player's foot.
'In some ways, I think these injuries are more linked to the speed the game is played at now.'
Nike also claim to have been exonerated by both Rooney and United's medical staff, who will liaise with manager Sir Alex Ferguson before the decision over whether to release the £27million forward for England duty is made.
'Any boot needs to be a mixture of protection and performance, however no boot can provide a guarantee against injuries,' said a Nike spokesman.
'Manchester United have confirmed that there is no link between the boots and the injury sustained by Wayne.'

Took this bad boy for it's first real test in ICELAND. 7 day expedition where I climbed, scrambled, and backpacked through lava fields, snow-capped volcanoes, and insane 1000 foot gorges and ravines.
This pack took everything the Icelandic weather threw at me including all the rain and snow a freak blizzard hit me outside of Jokulsarlon and wouldn't you know it, everything inside was boooooone dry!
Great fit, customizable, simple features, and truly bombproof for extreme weather. Expensive? Yes and I was more than hesitant on spending this much on a rucksack, but if you take care of it, you could easily get more than 10 years out of this pack. But more importantly, don't skimp on the items that could save your life--especially the one that's carrying all your gear (or expensive cameras haha).
Not much room for expansion so either be prepared to pack light or ramp up an upgrade to the 65. OH! And forget the bladder sleeve..unless your bladder is 30 ounces or less. I attempted to "force" a 100 liter camelbak and nearly tore the lining. Just leave it alone or slip a thin book in their...not worth the effort to take it in and out.
As for the 420D ACT material? WOW. I slid down a 15 foot, 30-ish grade declining rock wall very SLOWLY and CAREFULLY (max traction) when I lost the main trail on the decent from the Glymur waterfall and had no other route option. I swear that given the abrasive volcanic rock the pack would be shredded pretty good...it wasn't. Scratched up for sure! Dirty? Heck yes! But literally took no lasting damage despite what I put it through. I have never had a rucksack, nor could conceive of another one that could withstand this sort of abuse.
Save up and buy this pack. Just plan out for your space requirements because I now need the 65, this pack is truly for 1-2 days/night, and that's packing VERY light. Enjoy!

Winter backpacking with the unbeatable Arrakis 50!

I've been using last year's model and they are the absolute best hiking/climbing/adventure/all-'round pants I've ever worn (and I've tried way too many haha) BUT like the other reviewers have stated, the newest cut of the pants are WAAAAY off.
They literally have dropped 2 full sizes and as weird as it sounds--they really do cut into your hips...it's the oddest thing. I ordered the 32 (I'm a 34 in last year's model) and the waist lines are identical, but they really do dig into your hips! I then tried the 34 and they were falling off me.
As usual, no issues with the return from Backcountry but save yourself the dough or be one of those guys that literally wear skinny jeans or something...
If you can however find an earlier version of these pants buy them and hold onto them! The material, craftsmanship, durability, all of it is amazing and literally has no competition--not sure why Arcteryx dropped the ball on this year's mode...

This is the current model and not discontinued. Hardly ever seen on sale and rarely seen on EBay. "Sage's smallest two-handed spey rod designed for the tightest of two-handed fishing situations, great for trout, salmon and steelhead." Bought it for a trip that didn't happen. Would like to get $550, sell for almost $700. I'd hate to fight the crowds to win this one.

Cattle Producer' Participation in Market Channels in Central America: Supermarkets, Processors, and Auctions
This paper focuses on the determinants and effects of the participation of cattle producers in the supermarket channel, export processor channel, and traditional auction channel. It begins with the analysis of the market channels using qualitative data from 50 interviews of retailers, processors, auction market managers, and other key informants in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, two widely differing cases. It then analyzes patterns and supplies of producers by channel using farm level data (from the authors' survey of farmers in 2004) from 300 farms in the two countries.

AU and EU: Poor and rich man's club
As African Union (AU) leaders continue to hold emergency summits in Addis Ababa and establish yet another futile presidential committee on Libya, European Union (EU) leaders continue to hold emergency summits on Libya and the EU Council of heads of state holds its annual summit in Brussels this week.
With the continuing challenges of regional integration in Europe and Africa it is worth examining whether the nine-year-old 53-member AU can learn lessons from the 53-year-old 27-member EU. The AU has, after all, consciously modelled its key institutions on those of the EU. The AU is currently attempting to unite a continent of 800million inhabitants from the Cape to Cairo, while the EU is striving to bring together 500-million people from Sofia to Stockholm.
The AU's predecessor, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), emerged in 1963 as an attempt to liberate the continent from colonial rule. The European Economic Community (EEC), the forerunner of the EU, emerged in 1957 as an effort to prevent another war among its members. This is, however, a tale of a rich man's club and a poor man's club: while the EU accounts for about 30% of the world's economy, Africa accounts for less than 2% of world trade.
Both the AU and the EU have been accused of being elite-driven bodies that suffer from a "democratic deficit" by not consulting properly with their citizens. But while the EU represents a carefully calibrated balance between supranationalism and sovereignty, decision-making within the AU remains dominated by its heads of state. Unlike the EU, where power is shared among its institutions, the AU is a top-down, heads of state-driven body where even decisions that could be dealt with by the executive council of ministers or ambassadors are often placed on its agenda.
The EU Council of heads of state, unlike the AU Assembly, also has a permanent secretariat that ensures the implementation of decisions is followed up. While the EU has gradually developed a complicated system of qualified majority voting for 80% of its legislation, the AU still conducts most of its business through unanimity voting.
Establishing independence
The AU Commission secretariat is headed by a chairperson (Gabon's Jean Ping) and nine commissioners. Its main task is to implement the decisions of AU organs. In practice, however, the commission has struggled to establish its independence. Under the leadership of the AU's first chair, between 2003 and 2008, Mali's Alpha Konaré, the nine commissioners often acted as if they were accountable to the leaders who had elected them, rather than to the chair.
An AU audit report of December 2007—chaired by Nigeria's Adebayo Adedeji and involving former speaker of South Africa's Parliament, Frene Ginwala—was scathing about the administrative and management failings of the Konaré Commission. In addition, only 50% of approved tasks were implemented in 2006, with most directorates underspending by between 70% and 90%.
The Brussels-based EU Commission, in stark contrast, is the "guardian of the treaties" and initiates most of the body's legislation, issuing about 5 000 directives and decisions annually. The commission is also the only international body of its kind with supranational powers. Its influence is, however, somewhat constrained by the European Council's role in setting the strategic direction for the organisation. Power still flows directly from Berlin, Paris, London and Rome and not just from Brussels.
The commission is headed by a president (Portugal's José Manuel Barroso), assisted by a 26-strong College of Commissioners. The commission's "golden age" occurred under its most dynamic president, France's Jacques Delors, who helped create a single European market in 1992.
If governments refuse to abide by commission decisions Brussels can take them to the European Court of Justice to seek a judgment. The commission is, however, usually astute enough to work with members and often accommodates rather than confronts governments. The European Commission has a staff of 24 000 compared with the AU Commission's paltry 617 personnel. While the AU budget of $260-million is irregularly paid by its member states, the EU budget of €141,9billion is always paid by its members.
'Ideals of the organisation'
The president of the EU Commission—unlike the chair of the AU Commission—helps pick his commissioners, can reshuffle their portfolios and can fire them with the support of the commission. Unlike AU staff, the EU Commission staff are paid at the level of top international organisations like the United Nations, are multilingual and often believe strongly in the ideals of the organisation. Entry into the EU Commission also requires competitive written and language exams and some of the "best and brightest" of Europe's technocrats work in the organisation. Although the AU does have some impressive staff, it also has incompetent deadwood.
Unlike the AU (with a few exceptions), senior EU staff typically work 50 to 55-hour weeks. Both the AU and the EU also have their own national and linguistic mafia. Neither organisation bases promotions strictly on a meritocratic system, but often on the power of influential networks and godfathers. Both have suffered from mismanagement and corruption.
The EU may be even more nepotistically nationalistic than the AU, as EU commissioners are chosen along largely national lines. They also tend to show less independence of their national governments than AU commissioners. Half the AU's commissioners are women, in contrast to the EU's one-third. And while the EU Commission has delegations in more than 120 countries and an international foreign service, the AU has offices only in New York, Washington, DC and Brussels.
The AU's 265-member Pan African Parliament was established in South Africa in 2004 and has advisory rather than legislative functions. The parliament attracted much controversy over reports of poor financial management. It has effectively been a toothless talkshop and represents one of Africa's worst efforts at political alchemy. With national parliaments barely functioning effectively and often acting as presidential rubber-stamps, one wonders whether the creation of a costly continental parliament was really sensible.
The European Parliament, in contrast, was set up in 1952 and was directly elected from 1979. It remains the only EU body that enjoys this democratic distinction. Paradoxically, this quasi-legislative body has no powers to propose legislation, which is the prerogative of the EU Commission and EU Council. The parliament's 785 parliamentarians meet in Brussels, Strasbourg and Luxembourg, attracting much criticism over profligate expenditure.
The body approves the EU budget and the appointment of the commission's president and can dismiss the entire commission. The low turnouts at parliamentary elections, however, demonstrate the low priority that EU citizens accord this body: only 43% of eligible voters cast ballots for the European Parliament in 2009.
While European integration is often compared to a bicycle on which all members have to keep pedalling to avoid falling off, African integration has often resembled a bumpy ride on the back of a rickety mammy-wagon on potholed roads with failing brakes and lights and the memorable sign "No condition is permanent" inscribed on the vehicle.

Dr. J. T. Fairchild
Dr. J. T. Fairchild is owner of the famous Fairchild Potash Sulphur Springs, located seven miles southeast of Hot Springs, and one mile from Lawrence, a station on the Little Rock Railroad. This celebrated health and pleasure resort, which has gained a national reputation, has been for the past five years under the able management and proprietorship of Mr. E. E. Woodcock, a son-in-law of Dr. Fairchild. The grounds are fitted up with everything imaginable to make them pleasant and attractive for the hundreds of guests who gather there at all seasons. An elegant hotel is found, with bath-house, billiard-room and bowling-alley, dancing-halls and spring-houses, from which Cupid has played many pranks with the susceptible. The hotel also contains a postoffice, and has telephone connections with Hot Springs and Little Rock. The scenery is beautiful, the mountains forming a picturesque background, and the climate is healthful and salubrious. It is a paradise for hunters, as game is found in plenty, and the piscatorial artist has his hands full when fishing in the Ouachita River. The wide reputation of these springs is constantly increasing, as stories of the wonderful cures performed are brought to notice. It is estimated that 10,000 people visit these annually for physical relief, irrespective of the number who come for pleasure. When Dr. Fairchild first became their possessor, in 1849, the accommodations consisted of only a few rude log-houses, but through his persistent energy, and a desire to benefit the public, he has succeeded in making it one of the most noted and attractive resorts in the Southwest, and by his continued efforts, in conjunction with Mr. Woodcock, its present proprietor, it will in a few years be a suburb of Hot Springs. Dr. Fairchild is a pleasant and interesting gentleman, an untiring worker, and a man of resources for every emergency. He is well known throughout Central Arkansas, where he has resided for forty years, and is one of its most influential and respected citizens. The Doctor's birth-place is in the Hudson River country, New York State, and he was born in 1815. The youngest of four children born to his parents, he was reared on a farm until attaining his sixteenth year, being educated in the common schools and the village academy, after which he studied medicine for several years, with the intention of being a druggist. In the year 1845 he came to Arkansas, intending to enter the drug business, and brought his mother with him, his father having died the year before. He located at Batesville, where his mother died the following year; but instead of following the drug business, he commenced practicing medicine. He remained at Batesville for two years, and then moved to Camden, where he continued his practice until the year 1849. The following year he came to Hot Springs, and since that time has been residing at which is now known as the Fairchild Potash Sulphur Springs, where he owns about 320 acres of land in connection with the springs. For twenty years he practiced his profession with great success, and at the end of that time abandoned it. Since then he has lived a somewhat retired life. Dr. Fairchild was married, in 1847, to Elizabeth, a daughter of Joseph Hardin, of Kentucky, who was one of the earliest settlers of Lawrence County, Ark., and afterward one of its wealth and respected citizens. Mr. Hardin was sheriff of Lawrence County at a period when the nearest place of imprisonment to which he could take his prisoners was at Little Rock. His father, Benjamin Hardin, was a notable man in the early history of Kentucky, and an associate of Davy Crockett. Mrs. Fairchild, a woman of accomplishment, died October 1, 1860, a devout Christian. Three daughters were born to Dr. and Mrs. Fairchild, of whom only one is yet living, Fannie, wife of Mr. E. E. Woodcock. In politics Dr. Fairchild is a Democrat, as were his father and grandfather before him. His parents were Benjamin and Fran-Sina (Mills) Fairchild, of Bedford and Chatham, N. Y., respectively, the father residing in his native State all his life, and dying in 1844. He was a well-to-do farmer and dairyman, and of English-Irish origin. Many of his family are yet living, and scattered throughout the country, some of them attaining great prominence in public and professional life.
William Farr
William Farr was born in Henry County, Ala., July 14, 1837, and was the son of Insell Farr and Narcusus McCloud, natives of Edgecombe County, S. C., and Henry County, Ala., respectively. The former was born August 12, 1781, and the latter June 19, 1816. He was of Scotch-Irish descent, and was a blacksmith, wood-worker and silversmith by trade, being also engaged in the mercantile business in Henry County, Ala., for a short time. Emigrating from South Carolina to Georgia, he carried on blacksmithing, and later went to Alabama in 1830. In 1850 he moved from Alabama to Florida. His first wife was Mary Smith, of Georgia, who, became the mother of ten children: Tillman, Anderson, Larkin, James, Columbus, Toliver, Mary, Margaret, Darkes and Susan. Mrs. Farr's death occurred about 1830. In 1835 Mr. Farr married Miss McCloud, who bore a family of nine children, five boys and four girls: William (the subject of this article), Insell, James, Basil, Daniel, Sarah, Rachel, Lizzie and Lydia. Mr. Farr was in the Indian War of 1835. His death occurred in Washington County, Fla., in 1857, his wife dying in Jackson County, that State, in 1862. William Farr began work for himself by hewing timber, after which he followed the carpenter's trade, and was subsequently employed as overseer of an extensive plantation in Florida. He was educated in the common schools of Florida, where he was afterward married to Miss Sarah L. Murphy, daughter of Batt Murphy, in 1868. They have eight children, four boys and four girls: William T., James I., Lydia L., Nannie E., Daniel J., Martha N., John S., and Mary J. Upon leaving Florida Mr. Farr came to Arkansas, April 24, 1871, and located in what is at this time Garland County, where he bought a quarter-section of land, thirty-five acres of it now being under cultivation. Mrs. Farr was born in Georgia in 1849. Her father married Elizabeth Joiner, also a native of Georgia, in 1841, and they became the parents of five children, three boys and two girls: James, Stephen, Charles, Sarah and Martha (wife of W. D. L. Boswell). Mr. Murphy died in Georgia in 1852. Mr. Farr is a member of the Masonic order, and he and his wife are both members of the Missionary Baptist Church. Mrs. Farr is an active worker and member of the Union Temperance Society. They are well known and highly respected hereabouts.
Dr. Sidney W. Franklin
Dr. Sidney W. Franklin, Hot Springs, Ark. It is the prerogative of the physician to relieve or alleviate the ailments to which suffering humanity is prone, and as such he deserves the most grateful consideration of all. A prominent physician and surgeon, who by his own abilities has attained distinction in his profession, is Dr. Sidney W. Franklin. This gentleman was born in Columbus, Miss., April 22, 1843, and was educated at Union University, Murfreesboro, Tenn., also graduating in medicine from the University of New York, in 1861. He was then a surgeon for four years in the Confederate service, being in charge of the hospitals at Columbia, Tenn., and at Raymond, Miss., and was also in the field. In 1865 he located at Mobile, but removed from that place to Columbus, Miss., in 1866, and thence to Hot Springs, in 1871. His specialty is diseases of the genito-urinary organs. He was a member of the Mississippi State Medical Society, and was secretary of the Lowndes County Medical Society of Mississippi. He is a member of the Arkansas State Medical Society and secretary of the Hot Springs and Garland County Medical Society. He was elected county surgeon of Lowndes County, Miss., for 1867 and 1868. In January, 1870, his marriage to Miss Kate, daughter of John C. [could be an O] Daugherty, of Memphis, Tenn., took place, and the result of this union has been one child, John, who is now a law student of the University of Virginia. The Doctor is a Royal Arch Mason. His parents, Sidney S. and Ann E. (Campbell) Franklin, were natives of New York and Tennessee, respectively. They were married in Mississippi, and reared a large family of children, only four now living: Dr. S. W., Thomas, Cornell and Malcomb. The father, a graduate of the University of New York, was also a graduate of Yale College, as well as of an institution in Paris. He was a very noted physician, and died in Columbus, Miss., in 1885.
Capt. C. W. Fry
Capt. C. W. Fry, superintendent of Hot Springs Bath House Association, Hot Springs, Ark. Among all classes and in every condition of life are those who excel in whatever they undertake, whether of a professional, agricultural or commercial nature, and no matter how disagreeable the outlook on starting life, they are sure to eventually reach the front and receive a share of the honor and credit due them. Capt. Fry was born in Orange County, Va., May 1, 1842, and is the son of Philip S. and Pamelia M. (Anderson) Fry, the former born in 1801, and died in 1859, and the latter born in 1810, and died in 1872. They reared a family of six sons. Capt. C. W. Fry attended the academy at Orange Court House, and graduated from that institution in 1859. He then came to Arkansas, taught school in Chicot County for eighteen months, and then returned to his native State, where he donned his suit of gray and entered the Confederate service as lieutenant of field artillery. He was promoted to the rank of captain in the fall of 1862, and in the spring of 1865 he was raised to the rank of major of artillery. After the close of the war he returned to Chicot County, Ar., engaged as civil engineer and was employed by the planters in the construction of levees to protect them from the overflow of the Mississippi River. He remained thus engaged until 1878, when he came to Hot Springs, and embarked in the real estate business. He was appointed circuit court clerk by the Governor in 1879 to fill an unexpired term, and since that time he has been engaged in his present position. He married Fannie Davies in 1867, but she died in 1870. He has two children: Fannie D. and William.
