There's nothing quite like spending the night under the stars in nature, just experiencing the world as it has been experienced by people for millennia before a pesky thing called civilization came along. But the choice of camping location can have a massive impact. Camping in your local grocery store parking lot might get you under the stars, but it won't do much to inspire you or make you feel more connected to the world.
The competition is on to find the world's best camping destinations. Here are some of the contenders.
Boya Lake In Canada
Canada has long been a land of wilderness. Anybody who has flown over it is not only enchanted by its size but also by the fact that so much of it remains completely untouched by human hands. Most of the land north of the latitude of Toronto is completely wild – a smattering of lakes, mountains, pine forests, and tundra.
In amongst all that beauty is the Boya Lake Provincial Park. The lake itself is relatively northerly, but it's famous because of its tropical coloring. Thanks to the purity of the water that feeds it, the lake is an azure blue and incredibly clear. During the summer camping here is epic, mainly because of the fact that the lake is warm enough to take a dip. All around are professionally constructed hiking trails which will take you out into the wilderness and then return you back to the main camping hubs. It goes without saying that nights here are free from light pollution, so if you're somebody who loves stargazing, this is the perfect spot for you.
The Moroccan Sahara In Morocco
Morocco is one of those countries which isn't easily lumped in with the rest of Africa. Thanks to its Arab links, it's got a very different feel from the other cultures in the west of Africa. For campers who venture out into the country's interior, things get really special. A trip into the Moroccan Sahara is about as wild as you can get as any place in the world. Usually, trips are organized around camel treks to remote outposts in the desert. Camping unassisted in the desert is dangerous, and so when you arrive at the campsite, the tents will already be set up.
Morocco is a great place to camp if you want to try things like sand boarding on dunes and stargazing.
The Lake District, UK
The Lake District is one of the most magical places in the world, thanks to the area's unique landscape. The region served as the backdrop to the writings of some of the most influential people in all of literature, including William Wordsworth as well as J.R.R. Tolkien.
The national park itself is dotted with campsites where you can pay a small fee and pitch your tent. Most of the cost in going is in buying all the gear you'll need, but with a Cabela's coupons, you should be able to get money off most stuff. The mountains in the Lakes have a certain feel that is different to those in the Alps or the Rockies. Though they get icy at the top in the winter, snow doesn't remain all year around. What's more, the mountains are truly ancient, formed hundreds of millions of years ago. Some are falling down literally, including those around Lake Thirlmere where you'll find the Lion Crags.
The Lake District is also a good destination for campers who like the idea of camping but don't want to leave all their creature comforts behind. Not only is glamping a popular activity in the Lakes, but so too are eco-pods – little wooden sheds with heating and running water. These are great if you want to stay dry in a notoriously damp part of the world.
Lake Myvatn In The Heart Of Iceland
You probably don't want to go camping in Iceland in the middle of winter. But during the summer months, the small Atlantic island comes alive as the weather improves. In the middle of the country is Lake Myvatn, a small inland lake surrounded by tundra and lonely mountains. But it's not the landscape that is the most appealing feature of Lake Myvatn: it's the fact that you might catch a glimpse of the northern lights. If you get your timing right, the aurora borealis are visible from Iceland and provide the perfect backdrop for an epic camping trip.
Sardinia, The Italian Island
People in Sardinia are famed for their good health and longevity. The island is home to many times the number of centenarians as mainland Italy, thanks to the diet of greens and beans. When it comes to camping, Sardinia is an obvious choice. The whole island is littered with campsites, trails and, of course, beaches – some of the most beautiful in the world. On top of all that, Sardinia itself is an autonomous region which is governed independently from mainland Italy. The result of that is a very different culture mix which includes Africans, among other peoples.
Ladakh In India
If you've ever wanted to travel to the mighty Himalayas as part of a camping trip, then a visit to Ladakh is probably your best option. Ladakh is a region located between Pakistan and Tibet and sits up on the high plateau formed by the Himalayas themselves. The area is popular with pilgrims to the Buddhist monasteries in the area and is best explored from a tent. Because it's beyond the mountains, the weather is usually very dry. Plus, being so high up means that it's miles away from civilization. This is the place to try your hand at canoeing, rafting and hiking.
The Garden Route National Park In South Africa
The Garden Route National Park lives up to its name. It stretches along the most stunning part of the coast of South Africa along miles of pristine beaches. This is a great place for any campers who just want to relax, unwind and enjoy nature at her most beautiful.

Hebrews 12: 18-29
18 You have not come to a physical mountain,to a place of flaming fire, darkness, gloom, and whirlwind, as the Israelites did at Mount Sinai.19 For they heard an awesome trumpet blast and a voice so terrible that they begged God to stop speaking. 20 They staggered back under God's command: "If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death."21 Moses himself was so frightened at the sight that he said, "I am terrified and trembling."
22 No, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering. 23 You have come to the assembly of God's firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect. 24 You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness instead of crying out for vengeance like the blood of Abel.
25 Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven! 26 When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: "Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also."27 This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.
28 Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. 29 For our God is a devouring fire.
Theme of Hebrews:
Press on toward spiritual maturity!
Clear expectations
Established consequences
Less intrusive into daily life
Maintains order
Frees people to be as good or as bad as they like
Potentially rewards those who obey
18 Now when all the people saw the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraidand trembled, and they stood far off 19 and said to Moses, "You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, lest we die." 20 Moses said to the people, "Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin." 21 The people stood far off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
People cannot keep the whole law
Threat of punishment does not work
Leads to false righteousness
Causes people to judge / condemn others
Controls every aspect of life
Kills hope, since all break the law (Romans 3:23)
We have already come to Mt. Zion
Joyful party going on
You are a co-heir with Christ, as a firstborn child
Come without condemnation to God himself
Jesus is the mediator of the New Covenant
Brings hope, because his blood cries for forgiveness
2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." 6 For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son; listen to him." 8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

Thillens has also been the liaison to the Park Ridge Indian Scouts and Indian Princesses.
"I am very proud that the Park District has shown a budget surplus each year I've been on the Board, and that I helped lead the successful effort to have no increase in the regular Park District tax levy for this year," Thillens said. "As Board President, I plan to continue policies that will be fiscally conservative and prudent."
As one of his first actions, Thillens led the effort to release the minutes of over 100 closed Board sessions dating from 1996 through 2014. The action was passed unanimously.
"I believe in government transparency," he said. "So this release of documents was a great way to kick off my term as Board President."
Other officers elected that night were Jim O'Brien as Vice-President, Jim Phillips as Treasurer and Mary Wynn Ryan as Secretary.
Thillens will have a busy year as he continues to lead the committee responsible for the very popular Taste of Park Ridge. He is also running a campaign to become the next State Representative of the 55th District.
He added, "when I see something my community needs, I raise my hand and volunteer. That's why I'm running for State Representative. Our community needs new leadership in Springfield."

Stalking Points
Rebecca Gilman's 'Boy Gets Girl' has been giving audiences plenty to discuss on the way home.
By Evan Henerson
Tony meets Theresa. Tony likes Theresa. The feeling isn't mutual. Theresa breaks up with Tony after two dates.
Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy doesn't like rejection.
Boy stalks girl.
It begins with Tony delivering a crush of flowers. Next come anxious and threatening messages on Theresa's answering machine, followed by possible acts of violence against her friends. Theresa tries to ignore the attention, but she loses the battle. "I don't know what constitutes stalking legally,' Theresa tells a co-worker at the magazine where she works as a writer. "But if he's not, then he's coming awfully close.'
"Boy Gets Girl,' Rebecca Gilman's award-winning play, which opens this week at the Geffen Playhouse, is the theatrical equivalent of a page turner. It also hits on themes of such topicality that audience members at earlier productions have been exiting the theater both disturbed and anxious to discuss what they've seen.
"I hope it plays like a really fun scary thriller,' says Geffen Artistic Director Randall Arney, who is also directing the production. "But when you leave the theater and get to rest afterwards, there's still plenty to chew on that makes it really relevant."
"Becker' co-star Nancy Travis, who plays Theresa in the Geffen's production, had been looking for a play to do in L.A. "for decades.' She thumbed through the first page of "Boy Gets Girl' while cooking dinner for her family. And she was hooked.
"I stood at the counter and read it. I could not put it down,' says Travis. 'We had to order in that night.'
Trenchant and troubling
Top-notch thrillers are rare, certainly, and even when they're
successful, they don't typically end up leading Time magazine's list of the best
theater productions of the year 2000. "Not just a gripping play,' hailed the
magazine, "but also an important one.'
"The brilliance of what she does is that she tackles enormous
sociopolitical issues in pedestrian terms, and I say that with great affection,'
says Susan Booth, artistic director of the Alliance Theater Company in Atlanta.
"I also have a huge affinity for people who create smart, articulate and
emotionally messy female characters.'

what tourney?
I like these signs if they wanna play rough.....
Thanks for all the replies. Yes I did get a letter, which I had to sign for. Not certified just saying I received the letter. It was from their sale manager not a lawyer. The letter was addressed to me at YARD DOCTOR. They demanded that I not use the name LAWN DOCTOR it is copyrighted. I had my lawyer send back a reply, which stated I do not or do I plan to use the name LAWN DOCTOR.
Here in retirement Ville Fla. Gods waiting room, we have many retired lawyers including retired Federal Judges. Therefore I have received a lot of free legal advise from professionals. The general opinion is I have an 85% to 90% chance of winning a court case. No lawyer will tell you there is a 100% chance of winning any thing. They use terms like "you have very defendable case" or "you should prevail"
The local Lawn Doctor is a nice guy and I have been to his house and seen his set up (before). He even has a wash down water recovery for his walk behind unit. He gets medical insurance, Marketing, and tech support etc. Lawn Doctor uses a granular program for the most part, which is an excellence way to go. I will stay friendly with him. I consider this Threat a dead issue.
Thank to all for your concern.

Sometimes it becomes un-responsive and at other times everything just opens up on its own and I lose total controll of my screen. I've taken my phone to the store but all they do is a hard reset the phone. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks

We Test Rifle-Caliber Revolvers: Ruger and Taurus Face Off
The Taurus Raging Thirty, $898, could be the �Great Light Hunter,� but Ruger�s .30 Carbine is a bargain at $415. The Taurus $898 Raging Bee is pricey, but it�s also a kick.
The hunting revolver needs power and long-range accuracy, which it usually gets by topping off long cases with heavy bullets. These big, blunt bullets get their velocity by virtue of big powder charges behind them, but even so, they shoot with more arc than a lot of hunters want. Also, because the shoulder does not support handguns, muzzle flip can make them hard to handle. Even the newest heavyweight revolver cartridges are more efficient at delivering power than they are a flat trajectory.
Perhaps the focus of hunting revolvers doesn't need to be on delivering long-gun power after all. One solution that some revolver makers are trying is introducing rifle cartridges that deliver a lighter bullet at much faster speeds.
One such revolver is the Raging Bee, chambered in .218 Bee, from Taurus International. Also, Taurus chambers the .30 Carbine in another large gun similar to the Bee, called the Raging Thirty. For its part, Sturm, Ruger & Company makes a .30 Carbine New Model Blackhawk. We wanted to see how comfortable and accurate these wheelguns were to shoot, so we pitted them in a head-to-heat test and found out.
Ruger .30 Carbine New Model Blackhawk BN31, $435
Of late we are seeing new interest in the .30 Carbine military rifles because they have so much history and classic visual appeal. Perhaps adding to this is one virtue seldom pointed out. That is, .30 Carbine has always been produced with non-corrosive components, which is why so many .30 Carbine weapons are still functioning in very good condition. The original intention of this cartridge was to fill the chambers of a compact rifle, giving U.S. servicemen more power than the .45 ACP pistol in situations where a full-sized Garand was impractical. Today, the .30 Carbine finds its niche with a lightweight bullet packed in a straight-walled case, and it's just right for shooting even big game at 50 yards.
Ruger .30 Carbine New Model Blackhawk BN31 Features Guide
At first glance the BN-31 incarnation of the New Model Blackhawk does not tell you that it is chambered in a rifle caliber rather than one of the more popular revolver cartridges. It is not especially long, the barrel is not extra heavy, the frame is not elongated, the cylinder lends no clue and the walnut grips are standard Ruger equipment. The overall look is of a Western-style single-action six-shooter, but the adjustable rear sight reminds you that this is a modern revolver. In handling this single-action-only revolver, you will find there is no loading position for the hammer. The act of swinging open the loading gate allows the cylinder to rotate while activating a safety that makes it impossible to pull the hammer back to a ready-fire position — standard Ruger New Model design.
One feature that distinguishes this model is the tapered barrel. At 7.5 inches the barrel is among the longest in the New Model Blackhawk lineup (Super Blackhawk models are available with 10.5-inch barrels). Though .30 Carbine is a rifle caliber, it is not an especially powerful one that develops a great deal of pressure. Super Blackhawk models chambered for real boomers are built with a heavier frame that extends well forward of the forcing cone. We found the tapered barrel contributed to two characteristics to note.
For one, when reinstalling the cylinder after cleaning you must be sure to mate the relief in the cylinder rod to the curvature of the barrel. As the barrel thins out toward the muzzle, there is enough room to start the cylinder rod with the full-diameter-side facing the barrel. This will lead to jamming against the outside of the barrel as the rod is pushed into the frame. Characteristic two is how the front sight is mounted. Though the front sights on all New Model Blackhawk revolvers are mounted on a stanchion atop the barrel, the tapering means that this stanchion must be larger. Our greatest problem shooting this revolver turned out to be glare from the front sight. Not only do we feel the serrations in the front ramp blade were too fine to do a good job of dispersing glare, but we also think the stanchion below the front sight contributed to the problem by reflecting light itself.
That we were able to print groups measuring less than 2 inches at 50 yards (supported) is a testament to how well the rest of this Ruger revolver has been adapted to .30 Carbine. With patience we were able to land some very good five-shot groups. Overall average for all shots fired was 2.4 inches, with a high of 3.1 inches (Federal American Eagle) and a best of 1.8 inches (Winchester USA). The classic bullet weight of 110 grains was standard throughout our tests. Firing standing, we found that shooting with gloves (especially tacky ones like Nike's Magnigrip football gloves designed to give extra grip to receivers) made it easier to follow through and control muzzle flip inherent in the design of round-backed "cowboy" stocks. Firing offhand was much more fun than the bench work, where muzzle rise was amplified by contact with the sandbag rests.
From the Ruger we observed muzzle energy ranging from 468 to 584 foot-pounds of energy. In this case one could think of the .30 Carbine as a pleasant alternative to a .357 Magnum. With better sights we think this revolver will come much closer to its potential.
Taurus Raging Bee .218 Bee Model 218SS10, $898
With the introduction of the Raging Bee, Taurus International continues to provide the shooting public with something to talk about. Previously, we have reviewed the Raging Bull chambered in the wide-body .454 Casull. In our February 2000 test, we found the Bull, by virtue of its weight and ported barrel, to be the Casull that was easiest to shoot. Since then Taurus has found this same frame had plenty of room and strength to launch rifle caliber rounds as well. Thus, we decided to include it in this rifle-caliber test.
Taurus Raging Bee .218 Bee Model 218SS10 Features Guide
The Raging "platform" is capped with an excellent rubber grip with a gentle palm swell and rear strap. While the insert appears in red for the Bull revolver, the smaller rifle-caliber guns sport a yellow insert. The cylinder lockup is double the average revolver. The right-hand thumb must slide the release mounted on the left side of the frame forward, and the opposite thumb must pull down a release mounted ahead of the cylinder located on the crane. This crane lock makes an extra detent typically installed at this point unnecessary. The forward tip of the ejector rod is capped and does not play a part in lockup.
In testing the Raging Hornet in .22 Hornet, we found that its longer barrel with heavy underlug made porting unnecessary to control recoil or muzzle flip. Also, with the same diameter cylinder as the .454 Raging Bull in place, there was room for eight smaller holes. The Raging Bee is virtually the same gun as the eight-shot Raging Hornet, but the cartridges differ noticeably.
On average, muzzle energy lagged behind the Hornet by more than 100 foot-pounds, and the Bee was way down on power compared to the .30 Carbine. Also, finding .218 Bee ammunition was difficult. While we were able to test the Ruger with three different brands of .30 Carbine (albeit all topped with 110-grain bullets) everywhere we shopped wholesale or retail offered only Winchester's silver-boxed Bee 46-grain hollowpoint. But with little frontal area to catch wind, the advantage of this skinny round is its ability to fly, making it a worthy varmint round. Since we did not use a scope with the Ruger, we elected not to add a scope to the Taurus as well. This was a shame, actually, because we had in hand the Jack Weigand–designed bolt-on scope mount ($54.95 delivered from Taurus) which we used with much success in the Raging Hornet test.
Taurus lists the barrel of the Raging Bee as being 10 inches long, but we measured the crown to be recessed approximately 0.2 inches from the tip. Therefore, we list the gun's barrel length as 9.8 inches in the accompanying tables. But above this is 11.5 inches of true sight radius. Mixed with a fully adjustable rear sight with plain black face and a simple flat-faced front blade, we had little trouble obtaining a good sight picture even at 50 yards. While we had to work very hard to obtain good shots from the Ruger, we found printing small five-shot groups single-action from a sandbag rest at 50 yards to be no chore at all. Often, we have to spend time getting used to a gun, learning how it responds at point of ignition or how to place the sights and approach the trigger. But we found the Taurus Raging Bee to be most accommodating.
Also, by offering double-action fire, the Raging Bee goes one up on the single-action Ruger Blackhawk. Actually, when we tested the Raging Bull and even the Raging Hornet, we did not find the double action to be a source of real speed beyond the ability to skip a step in rotating the cylinder.
But after dry-firing the Raging Bee, we fired at a target 7 yards away, the object of which was to shoot acceptable center-mass groups rapid fire. Using a Competitive Edge Dynamics Model 6000 sound activated timer ($134.50, Brownells, 800-741-0015), we responded to the starting "beep" with two shots as fast as we could pull and release the trigger. With one of our more accomplished revolver shooters "at the wheel," our five attempts registered splits of 0.26, 0.23, 0.23, 0.24, and 0.24 seconds between shots. Combined with the flash from the cylinder gap and the appearance of this 16-inch long stainless steel revolver with racing car–sized graphics, this performance did draw attention at the public range. The Raging Bee does have charisma.
Taurus Raging Thirty .30 Carbine Model 30CSS10, $898
The Raging Thirty is virtually the same gun as the Raging Bee save for chambering. We could find only two other notable physical differences. The cylinder of the Raging Thirty is approximately 0.02 inch shorter to make room for moonclips. This contributes in part to the gun weighing some 2 ounces less than the Bee. The weight of pressure required to release the single-action trigger was the same (5.2 pounds), but the double-action press was noticeably heavier on the .30 Carbine gun: 14 pounds of pressure, or 3 extra pounds compared to the Raging Bee's DA trigger.
Taurus Raging Thirty .30 Carbine Model 30CSS10 Features Guide
Still, the heavier pull didn't slow us down much. Pounding out duos of consecutive shots, our split times ranged from 0.23 to 0.29 seconds. The heavier trigger is likely related to the needs of the cartridge for reliable ignition, the physics of moving the heavier cartridge, and whatever incidental manufacturing differences there may be. Certainly no one will be taking this gun to Bianchi Cup, but in the field, double action will allow a follow-up shot without the delay of manually resetting the hammer.
From the bench we enjoyed the same easy sight picture as found on the Raging Bee, and the big underlug common to the Raging series revolvers is ideal for supported shooting. Average group size for all shots fired was 1.6 inches, helped along by our only sub-1-inch group in the test firing the Federal American Eagle 110-grain metal case bullet. This was an outstanding performance considering that in the previous test of the Raging Hornet, our only other sub-1-inch group at a distance of 50 yards was registered when we mounted a scope. Other Raging revolvers we have tested include Raging Bulls in .454 Casull and .44 Magnum. Of the four, the Raging Thirty proved to be the most accurate.
Comparing the Raging Thirty to the .30 Carbine New Model Blackhawk, the Raging Thirty makes best use of the longer barrel to produce more velocity and as a result more energy. The Federal Classic 110-grain Hi-Shok Soft Point Round Nose produced the most muzzle energy (670 foot-pounds). This was an increase of 154 fps above what the Ruger generated. While the barrel shroud is 10 inches, the crown is recessed and again we list it as being 9.8 inches of rifled bore. Actual measurements, however, were 9.83 inches from forcing cone to crown for the Raging Bee and 9.77 inches for the .30 Carbine model.
The only operational difference between the Raging Thirty and the other Raging revolvers is the use of moonclips for the .30 Carbine ammunition. The good thing about moonclips is all the rounds go in and come out at the same time. If a case becomes stuck due to overexpansion or a dirty chamber, the combined leverage of the ejector rod and clip will likely help it eject without a problem. The downside is each time you want to load the gun you need the rounds to be loaded into a clip. The Raging Thirty will ignite rounds without them being held in a clip but we found that pressing the ejector rod would not always eject every single spent case. Last, a moonclip gun is only as good as the quality and condition of its clips. We found that of the five supplied clips, one of them would not securely hold all eight rounds. Sometimes this has to do with the cases themselves. Winchester cases, for example, are generally more solid in a clip than other brands, we have found. While no tool was necessary for loading and unloading the Taurus moonclips, we might trade this convenience for a more secure hold even if it meant having to carry a special "de-mooning" tool. Moonclips are often associated with speed loading, but with eight long .30 Carbine rounds it was more like trying to insert cooked spaghetti. Frankly, we could live with the Raging Thirty with or without moonclips. At worst they are an unnecessary complication. With an MSRP of $898 it might be easy to for the reader to dismiss the Raging Revolvers as being too expensive. But after testing them all we think the Raging Thirty best accomplishes what we perceive as the mission of the Taurus rifle caliber revolver series. That is, a high-capacity, portable, and accurate repeating weapon chambered in a caliber that is effective at handgun distances, is comfortable to shoot and affordable to reload.
Gun Tests Recommends
Ruger .30 Carbine New Model Blackhawk (BN31), $435. Buy It. We would change the sights, but the machinery is here to make this a rewarding shooting experience. We feel .30 Carbine is a pleasant match for the Blackhawk. Likely available for less than $400, the handloader should find this gun to be a bargain.
Taurus Raging Bee Model 218SS10, $898. Conditional Buy. This is a specialty gun that succeeds. The cost of ammunition, however, is prohibitive, and different loads are difficult to find.
Taurus Raging Thirty .30 Carbine Model 30CSS10, $898. Our Pick. You may not want to tote this much gun, but compared to the Ruger, it was much easier to shoot accurately and produced much more power out of the box. We feel this model exemplifies what a modern hunting revolver is all about. Of the Taurus Raging revolvers currently available, we are (for once) not put off by the price.

If you are a formalist, you will like to clean every nook and cranny of the pool yourself to be sure not a corner is missed. However, many people would prefer to avoid this time consuming job and instead of perform that chore, or in the case, they don't feel like forking up the money for a professional pool cleaning person every few weeks, or spending your weekend vacuuming and cleaning out the pool by hand, they want to spend that time enjoying the pool to relax after the hard working day. If that sounds more like you, then you may want to invest in an best automatic pool cleaner for inground pools. It will be an ideal choice for you. The pool cleaner will prove to be a cheaper option over the long run than hiring someone, and it will free up your time to enjoy your pool and accomplish other tasks rather than cleaning. Nowadays, there are several types of pool cleaners on the market, and your needs may be better met by one type or another. One of the most popular people believe in is robotic pool cleaners.
This type of automatic pool cleaner takes advantage of an electric motor that must be operated by a low voltage transformer. A robotic cleaner contains its own pump and filters. In addition, some models consist of a computer chip that makes them wash more effectively and some even come with a remote control. The advantages of a robotic pool cleaner reviews contain that it can clean the pool walls; it helps water circulate around the pool, and best of all that it is proficient at cleaning both large debris and fine particulate from your swimming pool.
Beside robotic pool cleaner's advantages, it also exist disadvantages. First of all, the built in pump and filters will need to be washed frequently. Next, because of its design with such electrical cord, this type of automatic cleaner of movement is limited, and in general, you have to spend much money to buy them than the other types.
Except for disadvantages, robotic pool cleaners come in many models, shapes, and sizes. Each is designed for a specific type of pool. If you can consult many different references and listen to advances of pool cleaning specialist, it will be easy for you to make the correct choice for your pool.
In the other hand, you should be certain to read reviews and find what other purchasers had to say when choosing a pool cleaner. Also, when deciding, you should consider which type of pool cleaner is the suitable choice for your demands and needs. A robotic pool cleaner would be a good selection for those who have a bit more money to spend and who want the least amount of manual labor possible since you can simply turn the unit on and walk away. However, other cleaners like pressure and suction cleaners are more affordable options. While you may still have to go over your pool manually once in a while, they will eliminate most of the work. Make the right decision to save time for enjoying instead of performing those chores.

Best Credit Cards After Vehicle Repossession
LowCards is a Citi partner. These offers, valid when the article was written, may have expired. View our full editorial disclaimer here.
It can be incredibly challenging to deal with the aftermath of a vehicle repossession. When this occurs, you will not only lose your car, but your credit will suffer tremendously. A lender can repossess a vehicle after you have defaulted on your payments, which itself will hurt your credit score dramatically. And once the vehicle is repossessed, you could still owe money on the loan if the vehicle's sale wasn't enough to cover your remaining balances.
Rebuilding your credit after repossession
The first thing you will want to do after a repossession to help rebuild your credit is to make sure the vehicle loan is paid off. Any remaining money owed after the sale of the vehicle is called a "deficiency balance," and it will remain on your credit report until it is paid off. Therefore, check your credit report and attempt to settle any outstanding balance with the lender, which will be critical in your effort to "stop the bleeding" before rebuilding your credit.
But once that debt is paid in full, you will then have to start the process of re-establishing a positive credit history, even though you will have a poor credit score. Opening a new account is one of the only ways to build your credit, but it will be very difficult to get a new loan with a low credit score
The solution is a product known as a secured credit card. A secured card works much like a standard credit card, except you must submit a refundable security deposit before your account can be opened. Then, you can use your card the way you normally would, and increase your credit score by making timely payments each month. It can take as long as seven years before your repossession drops off your credit report, but you can mitigate that damage by opening up a secured card account and being very careful to make on-time payments.
In the meantime, a secured credit card offers the convenience and security of a standard credit card, including more protections against fraud than is offered by debit cards, prepaid cards, cash or checks. A secured card can also offer features such as purchase protection, extended warranty coverage and rental car insurance.
Here are four of the best secured credit cards that you can qualify for after repossession:
Capital One Secured MasterCard
Capital One is a major credit card issuer that also offers a secured card. The Capital One Secured MasterCard requires a refundable deposit of $49, $99 or $200 based on your creditworthiness. The minimum deposit will result in a $200 initial credit line, but you could receive a line of up to $3,000 with a higher deposit. Benefits include auto rental insurance, travel accident insurance, and 24/7 travel assistance services. You are also covered by an extended warranty policy and a price protection program. The standard interest rate for purchases is 24.99% APR, and there is no annual fee for this card and no foreign transaction fees.
Citi® Secured MasterCard
Citi is another well known credit card issuer and a major retail bank. The Citi Secured MasterCard requires an initial refundable deposit of $200 to $5,000, with a credit line equal to the deposit submitted. Cardholder benefits include worldwide travel accident insurance, worldwide car rental insurance, and trip cancellation and interruption protection. Furthermore your purchase are covered by an extended warranty policy, as well as damage and theft protection coverage. The standard interest rate for this card is 22.24% APR, variable, and there is a $25 annual fee.
primor® Secured Visa Gold Card
The primor Secured Visa Gold card is issued by First Choice Bank and offers guaranteed approval to applicants whose monthly income exceeds their monthly expenses by at least $100. It even has a generous 25-day grace period and no penalty interest rate. This card has an annual fee of $49 and a low 9.99% standard interest rate for purchases.
OpenSky® Secured Visa® Credit Card
The OpenSky Secured Visa card issued by Capital Bank offers a credit line of between $200 and $3,000 and has competitive terms. It features a 25-day grace period and a standard APR for purchases of 17.64%. There is no credit check necessary, and it boasts an application time of just five minutes. It also reports your payments to the three major consumer credit bureaus to ensure that your credit score reflects your payment history. Otherwise, this is a fairly basic card with an annual fee of just $35.
Using a secured card to rebuild credit quickly
The most important tip is to make every payment on-time as your payment history is one of the most critical factors on your credit report. To help you to do this, you can enable payment notifications and reminders via email or text. You can also schedule automatic payments from the card issuer or from your bank. And once your credit score rises, you can receive your refundable security deposit back and apply for a standard unsecured credit card.
By using the right credit card, you can begin rebuilding your credit after you have been through a vehicle repossession.

When do they typically start putting in jury members into the sequester house? I can't remember how many go in and vote on the final 2. I'm stuck on 7, but that is from Survivor.
Same thing here, Karen. They've put 7 in the last couple of years..... but everyone's of the belief that they're putting everyone in sequester this year.
Never let the things you want make you forget about the things you have.
Just imagine how well Eric and Michael are getting along if they are sequestered together...
It was me. I let the dogs out.
I have a feeling that if they are being sequestered already, that they are being kept by themselves so that when they go back in the house, they only get to hear the current HGs versions of what has been happening in the house.
Purely speculating, but my guess is they'll have a competition to bring their partner back in to be eligible for the prize... I'm also guessing they're in an area that's attached to the house and they have some observation of the houseguests... They did something similar in the UK...

Well, there was an article (on a NV newspaper website-I don't remember which one) that said that Crappy and 21 other LVFD's were called into work on a fire (I can't remember where). He might have been sequestered after that but I doubt it.

Washington The Environmental Protection Agency proposed tougher requirements Friday on thousands of large animal feedlot operations, declaring that they are one of the country's chief causes of water pollution.
The proposed regulation, which will depend on decisions made by the Bush administration, would expand the number of cattle feedlots and hog farms that would have to get pollution permits. It also imposes new pollution control requirements on large poultry operations.
EPA Assistant Administrator Walter Charles Fox said that large factory farms are "among the greatest threats to our nation's waters and drinking water supplies" because of the large amounts of manure they produce in concentrated areas.
Some environmentalists criticized the EPA proposal as not going far enough to clean up large hog, poultry and cattle farms. For example, they said, the EPA proposal stopped short of banning the use of open lagoons for wastes. It also allows for continued spraying of manure on fields as fertilizer.

Climb Aconcagua it is one of 360 Expeditions' most challenging and rewarding experiences. Aconcagua is generally recognised as the highest trekking peak in the world and is the highest mountain outside the Himalayas. The mountain is technically straightforward, but crosses over into the realms of a high altitude mountaineering expedition by virtue of its enormous size, length of climbing days and the extremes of ice and weather conditions found on it.
Aconcagua is climbed expedition-style, whereby we do a lot of load-carrying ourselves, and we operate very much as a team of climbers. Climbers must be both physically and mentally prepared for an experience that can test them to the limit. Starting from the pleasant city of Mendoza, situated in the heart of Argentina's wine country, climbing Aconcagua is a mountain expedition of many contrasts.
The trek in is through a wide arid valley and features a visit to the mighty South Face of the mountain, whilst Base Camp (Plaza de Mulas) has all the facilities of home and is a great place to prepare for the hard work on the mountain above. From Base Camp we begin carrying loads to Camps 1, 2 and 3 above us so we are acclimatised and provisioned for our summit day. We have 18 days from arrival at base camp to the summit, and we include an ascent of nearby Bonette peak (5,100m) both for the magnificent views and to aid acclimatisation.

Celebrating Solidarity's 20th anniversary
"It was like a tiny stone which fell and began a huge avalanche. First it was Poland, then the other so-called people's democracies, finally the entire Soviet Union." This was how Lech Walesa described the August Agreement, which launched the Solidarity movement 20 years ago this month. The church in Poland played a major part in the movement through prayer, holding meetings, supporting prisoners and their families, always urging the campaigners to demonstrate in non-violent ways. Priests and religious were among those imprisoned by the regime. In October 1984, one young priest, Jerzy Popieluszko, was tortured and killed by the police. His story and many others are being told in London in a series of events marking the 20th anniversary of Solidarity. 25 October - 10 November: The History of Solidarnosc The Polish Cultural Institute, 34 Portland Place, London W1, is holding an exhibition of photographs, press cuttings and documents. 19 - 30 November: Solidarity Posters and Leaflets A unique collection of original materials from the Pokaz gallery, Warsaw. Brockway Room, Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL. 24 November: A celebration starting at 7pm will include a short talk on the campaign in Britain by Wiktor Moszczynski and Karen Blick, exhibition launch and reception, followed by a concert with Carmen Lasok and Robert Aldwinckle.

Loving couple wanting to share our beautiful home.
Scott & Karen Reid purchased this house in 1989
Beautiful, private, cozy, roomy home.
We had 2 families in this great home for a four day weekend. The kitchen is well stocked and the home is incredibly comfortable. Lots of extra beds and towels. The hot tub was ready and heated for our arrival! The home had TVs in every room. The 4 kids loved the pool table downstairs! Very comfortable and we will rent again! Great proximity to the ski slopes grocery store and town! We loved every minute of it!
Our trip had lots of obstacles to Big Bear due to Caltrans closing all the road because of snow storm. We eventually couldn't make it the night we planned for bit Scott and Karen went out of their way to help us. They always picked up their phone and tried everything to accommodate us. Although our plans didn't goniur way, Scott and Karen made us feel welcomed. Thank you!
we have rented a great number of houses up in Big Bear and this one is easily my favorite. It was very spacious (we had 6 adults and 4 kids including young twins) and plenty of room inside and outside the house. Everything we needed except for food was provided. The only bummer was that there was no snow....and certainly the property can't be held responsible for that!
Will definitely stay here again. I can wait in fact.
From the moment we arrived, the property was very welcoming and "homey". The entire home was well stocked with everything we needed! There was ample space for everyone! We celebrated my 30th birthday for one weekend and were able to enjoy the jacuzzi and snowfall. There is a small hill across the street from the home which we used for sledding. The house has sleds, many games, and direct tv in all rooms. Overall great home!
We picked the perfect weekend to stay, it was just after a storm so there was A LOT of fresh snow. Truly a winter wonderland... Once my family and I (A total of 12) arrived, we realized that there was no power! Right away we called Karen and Scott and they were more than helpful to call around for us to check what was going on. It ended up being, a few trees fell on the power line, which had knocked the power out. We knew we would be without power for awhile, so we unloaded the cars and started the fire places, with the fire starter Kit Karen and Scott left for us along with plenty of matches! Total life saver... The power ended up coming on about an hour later, the heater was a bit tricky however Scott and Karen came to our rescue AGAIN by sending out a friend to help us out. The rest of the trip continued without any issues. Hot Tub was awesome, pool table was great fun, & the kitchen is fully stocked as noted by previous renters. We all had a great time and we would stay here again. Thank you again Karen & Scott for everything!!
stayed the weekend after the new year, beautiful property with plenty of room for 12 people, amenities all included, kitchen was complete, basement was a fun area for a man cave. it snowed before we got there so we were lucky! 2nd night we saw bright flashes outside, we thought someone was playing a trick on us, but it happened 3 times and the flashes could be seen from the kitchen window and the back room (by several people), it was creepy. at night the tv downstairs in the man cave kept turning on and off, we thought maybe there was an automatic timer, but we were wondering why it would turn on and then off. the kicker....the morning we were leaving my 9 month old was sleeping in the master bedroom, we heard a loud crash, no one was in the room except my sleeping baby and the mirror of the closet door had shattered and fallen flat down in the room. we opened/closed that particular mirror twice during the weekend and it was running smoothly. it was crazy to see that it had shattered and fallen to the ground. luckily my son was still asleep. i still get goosebumps thinking about it. the owners were very nice and just ensured our safety. overall it was a wonderful stay, so many activities that we didn't leave the house, we just enjoyed each others company and fellowship. don't think we would stay here again, but only because of the paranormal activity. otherwise it was awesome. we also had dogs with us, and they were not near the closet mirror. but really a wonderful place to stay, roomy and comfortable.

The Fire of Drift-wood
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We sat within the farm-house old,
Whose windows, looking o'er the bay,
Gave to the sea-breeze damp and cold,
An easy entrance, night and day.
Not far away we saw the port,
The strange, old-fashioned, silent town,
The lighthouse, the dismantled fort,
The wooden houses, quaint and brown.
We sat and talked until the night,
Descending, filled the little room;
Our faces faded from the sight,
Our voices only broke the gloom.
We spake of many a vanished scene,
Of what we once had thought and said,
Of what had been, and might have been,
And who was changed, and who was dead;
And all that fills the hearts of friends,
When first they feel, with secret pain,
Their lives thenceforth have separate ends,
And never can be one again;
The first slight swerving of the heart,
That words are powerless to express,
And leave it still unsaid in part,
Or say it in too great excess.
The very tones in which we spake
Had something strange, I could but mark;
The leaves of memory seemed to make
A mournful rustling in the dark.
Oft died the words upon our lips,
As suddenly, from out the fire
Built of the wreck of stranded ships,
The flames would leap and then expire.
And, as their splendor flashed and failed,
We thought of wrecks upon the main,
Of ships dismasted, that were hailed
And sent no answer back again.
The windows, rattling in their frames,
The ocean, roaring up the beach,
The gusty blast, the bickering flames,
All mingled vaguely in our speech;
Until they made themselves a part
Of fancies floating through the brain,
The long-lost ventures of the heart,
That send no answers back again.
O flames that glowed! O hearts that yearned!
They were indeed too much akin,
The drift-wood fire without that burned,
The thoughts that burned and glowed within.
Or if your mood in the mood for something less reflective and more ridiculous, take a look at these turkeys drawn by psych students. Their TA added an extra page to the exam when making copies -- it said "draw a turkey." via MeFi.

Happy Thanksgiving
Many, many years ago,
before we knew what we knew.
Columbus found this place,
and it was all brand new.
He met some Indians,
I think they planted some corn.
Then we killed them all off,
before our welcome was worn.
There were still some left over,
and it felt kind of risky.
So we gave them some land,
and then we gave them some whiskey.
now they're all drunk,
living on borrowed land.
They're running casino's,
betting on the best hand.
So as we sit here tonight,
the family's all gathered 'round.
The Injuns are sleeping,
without any sound.
Let's raise our glass to the Indians,
who are still left living.
Thanks for the corn,
and Happy Thanksgiving!

A major factor in determining how well your plants or seeds will grow is their compatibility with your soil. Each plant species has a range of soil types in which it will flourish. It is very important to choose your seeds and transplants to match your soil type.
Soil Types
Soils can be divided into three basic classifications: sands, loams, and clays. There is great variation within these basic groups, but these categories will suffice for the purpose of describing where a given plant will or will not grow.
Sandy Soils, referred to as "light" soils, contain large sized soil particles that are loose and easy to work. They allow water to drain readily and tend to be low in nutrients. Sandy soils tend to be more acid than the more fertile loams and clays. If your soil has a pH lower than 5, consider adding lime or wood ashes to bring it closer to a pH of 6 or 7.
Clay Soils are commonly known as "heavy" soils. Consisting of very small, tightly packed soil particles, clays tend to be dense and hard to work. However, they are generally rich in nutrients, have a high water-holding capacity, and can be very productive.
Loamy Soils are "intermediate" between sands and clays. Composed of many different sized soil particles, they combine fertility and moisture-holding capacity with good drainage. Easier to work than clays and better consolidated than sands, loamy soils make an excellent medium for growing most plants. Many prairie plants do best in loam soils.
Determining Your Soil Type
The "Feel Test" can help you determine your soil type. Take just enough moist soil to rub between the thumb and fingers. Rub it back and forth several times and feel it very carefully. A clay soil will be slick and smooth, with little or no grittiness. A predominantly sandy soil will be gritty and will not stick together well. A loamy soil will stick together easily, but not tenaciously like a clay. Loams will feel moderately gritty. As the soil dries between your fingers, rub it into a dust and feel it carefully. A loamy soil will have a component to it that feels like flour. This is silt, a soil particle size between sand and clay. Clays may also have a floury feeling to them, indicating silt content, but clay soil lacks the gritty sand component found in loams.
If you have difficulty determining your soil type by this method, dig into your soil when it is dry. A sandy soil will seldom exhibit clods. Any clods that do form will crumble easily. A loamy soil will have clods that can be sliced cleanly with a shovel. Clay soils tend to form hard, persistent clods. Rather than slicing through them, a shovel will get stuck or will shatter the clod into many hard, little blocks of soil.
If you are still in doubt, take a soil sample to your local soils lab for analysis.
Improving Your Soil
If you have a sand or clay soil and wish to improve it, there is no better method than to add large quantities of organic matter. Compost and dead leaves are excellent. Do not use sawdust, wood chips, or similar materials. These require a long time to break down and rob the soil of nitrogen. Avoid uncomposted manure. It contains large numbers of weed seeds. Organic matter holds more water and nutrients than any other soil constituent. It breaks up heavy soils, improving water intake and air exchange to plant roots. Organic matter firms light soils, making them richer and less drought prone. In each case, adding organic matter modifies a soil so that it behaves more like a loam. The benefits of adding organic matter include increased seedling survival, better root development, and faster plant growth.
Another effective method of improving poor soils is to plant a "green manure crop," such as buckwheat or winter wheat. These crops improve the soil by bringing up nutrients from the lower soil and converting them into plant organic matter. The crop is plowed under while actively growing to incorporate the roots and leaves into the soil. This is a cheap, ecologically sound way to build soil organic matter.
Tips for Working with Clay Soils
Clay soils with low levels of organic matter can be difficult to work. The fine soil particles pack together tightly, impeding drainage and air exchange. In the heat of summer, clay soils harden and prevent downward root growth. Clay soils warm up slower in spring and compact if worked when wet. Each of these problems will retard root development and plant growth.
Adding organic matter helps to "open up" clay soils by improving porosity or "breathability." This increases water infiltration and air movement through the soil, which is critical for good root growth.
There are many prairie plants that can grow in clay soils, such as our "Clay-Busters". With good initial care, these wildflowers and grasses will flourish even on difficult sites. Their roots will gradually work their way down into the clay, opening and improving it, just as these plants have done for thousands of years.
After Planting in Clay Soils, We Recommend:
Mulching with weed free straw (clean winter wheat, oat, or marsh hay) to hold in moisture and prevent drying. Mulch 2 - 3 inches deep for transplants with openings for the emerging leaves. For seeded areas, 1 - 2 inches of mulch will help to maintain upper soil moisture.
Regular light watering of prairie seedlings for the first two months will greatly increase germination and seedling survival. Water when the surface begins to dry out. Mulched areas require less frequent watering. Water only in the morning to help prevent disease problems. Do not over-water. Clay soils hold moisture well and drain down slowly.
Soil Moisture
Soil moisture is equally important in deciding which species to plant. Moist soils have a generous amount of water in the subsoil throughout the growing season. They may have periods of standing water in the spring or fall.
Dry soils include sandy and gravelly soils that drain readily and never have standing water, even after a heavy rain.
Medium, or mesic, soils include well-drained loams and clays. These soils may have standing water for short periods after a hard rain.

Digest of Halo Elecs., Inc. v. Pulse Elecs., Inc., No. 2013-1472, 2013-1656 (Fed. Cir. Mar. 23, 2015) (precedential). Request for Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc. Before Prost, Newman, Lourie, Dyke, Moore, O'Malley, Reyna Wallach, Taranto, Chen, Hughes, and Moore (per curiam).
Procedural Posture: Plaintiff-Appellant Halo petitioned for rehearing and rehearing en banc following panel affirmance of the district court's summary judgment of non-infringement and the district court's judgment that the infringement of certain patents was not willful. CAFC denied the petition.
Taranto, joined by Reyna, concurring:
- Damages/Willfulness: Plaintiff argued that the objective reasonableness of Defendant Pulse's invalidity position must be judged based on Pulse's belief prior to infringement. Judges Taranto and Reyna found that this question lacked sufficient general importance to warrant rehearing or en banc review. In contrast, they noted that there are several open questions regarding enhanced damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 of significant importance, including whether: (i) willfulness should remain necessary; (ii) the willfulness test set forth In re Seagate, 497 F.3d 360 (Fed. Cir. 2007), remains controlling precedent; and (iii) a willfulness judgment is reviewed de novo on appeal.
O'Malley, joined by Hughes, dissenting:
- Damages/Willfulness: The court's jurisprudence governing the award of enhanced damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 closely mirrors its jurisprudence governing the award of attorney fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285. Consequently, previous precedent has failed to properly account for subjective bad faith when considering the baselessness of a claim or defense. In view of the Supreme Court's recent decision regarding attorneys' fees in Octane Fitness, LLC v. ICON Health & Fitness, Inc., 134 S. Ct. 1749 (2014), the court should decide whether subjective bad faith may be considered when considering the baselessness of a claim or defense under § 284.

I went scrumping this week. It was a load of fun and completely unexpected. What would you do if you found an apple tree laden with fruit that no one would pick? Exactly.
I lifted my daughter Maggie on my shoulders so she could pick the lowest hanging fruit from the neglected old tree. The apples were so perfect it would have been a crime to let them become windfall. They were ripe, sweet and delicious. We took what we could reach and then vowed to return to get more. I felt like a schoolboy again, with grazed knees and short trousers, heart beating as I tasted the first freshly picked apples of my autumn. The scrumper in me loves this. A day out in the van and a walk that turns into an adventure.
So the apple tree is the old part of this story. And the apples, shall we say, borrowed. But what about the rest? What about some kind of brew? In keeping with the apple theme we decided to try out this pork dish using Devon scrumpy. How apt. After browning and seasoning the pork we let it simmer away in a whole bottle of organic cider. Then we added the something I grew. That's easy. Fennel and thyme.
I am glad to say that the result was a fragrant and fruity mix with melt in your mouth pork and a lovely light sauce. I could have used more fennel or even spiced the pork up with fennel seeds but it was a good first effort. Served with a mustard and horseradish mash, it was the perfect dish for a Sunday night in September.
Admittedly I cooked it on the hob. But, with a little patience I could have cooked it over the fire while I went scrumping for more! Can you see it? Ruddy cheeks and bobble hats, starry skies and smiles. And bowls of hot apple, fennel and pork stew.

Various college bowl games have been going on around the nation and fans came into The Barn to watch their favorite teams duke it out.
Don Mason brought his family out on New Year's Day to enjoy food and refreshments while gearing up for one of the big games. He says that one of the coaches playing in the Rose Bowl is from our area and he enjoys watching his team play.
"I always like starting off the New Year by watching the bowl games. It starts to wrap up the season which is sort of sad, but a happy time because you can see some pair ups between the various conferences. We look forward to seeing how Mark Antonio will do tonight. Michigan state against Stanford many of us know him and his family very well and its good to have that local thread, " said Mason.
President of The Barn, William Steed says he loves this time of year and seeing all the locals so excited for the sporting events.
"I just think it's a good atmosphere and people are in a good mood. We are just getting ready to start a new chapter in life for the New Year and we are always thrilled to do that, " said Steed.
Steed says he is looking forward to the Ohio State Orange Bowl game coming up this Friday and encourages the community to come in to watch.

MY AUTO-IMMUNE STORY, in brief:
In August of 2014, I suddenly lost sight in one of my eyes. This was determined to be "optic neuritis". After a series of tests, spinal tap, MRI, blood, etc. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Optic neuritis is very often the condition that brings MS to one's attention.
In hind sight, I've had MS for many years, but have been very fortunate, with minimal symptoms which could easily be mistaken for something else. I was always healthy, so, the diagnosis was very much a shock, a totally unexpected part of my journey. I've been doing major research since then, reading everything I could, in books and online. As a result, I am treating my auto-immune disease with diet and supplements, and not with immune suppressing "disease modifying drugs". I will write more about this in the future.
What follows is a collection of books that have been very helpful to me. They have helped me to decide how to treat this, to give me a better understanding of myself, and to give me hope and humor.
This experience gave me an introduction to the auto-immune epidemic, and the possible causes of the hundred or so different auto-immune diseases, of which multiple sclerosis is just one. My vegetarian, mostly vegan, mostly organic, diet seems to have helped me, and I am now even more aware of my food, as my medicine.
Recommended MS Resources:
I want to share this part of my journey, what I have learned, with others who may not have time or inclination to do this much research.
The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles
This was one of the first books that I read, after being introduced to Dr. Wahls by a TEDx Talk. It was a good place for me to start, and I'm still try to follow some of her diet. Dr. Wahls was a practicing conventional doctor when she was diagnosed with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. She started on one of the disease modifying drugs, but was getting worse, becoming restricted to a tilt-reclined wheelchair. After doing considerable research, she changed her treatment, reversed many of her symptoms, and became able to return to long distance bike riding. Her new mission is to promote her protocol and relieve suffering with auto-immune diseases, especially MS.
Other books by Dr. Wahls (I have not read these two, yet).
MS – Living Symptom Free: The True Story of an MS Patient:
A Guide on How to Eat Properly and Live a Healthy Life while Controlling, Reducing, and Eliminating the Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
This was my next read.
The author, Daryl H. Bryant, did opt to take one of the disease modifying drugs, but does give a lot of advice about supplements and diet, and managing symptoms, some of which I have not found elsewhere.
I went to the local MS Society office and found some books by Dr Allen Bowling, who I was soon introduced to at a Rebif program/dinner. He is the Director of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Rocky Mountain MS Center in Colorado and Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology and has written several books. Dr. Bowling's first book here, "Dietary Supplements and Multiple Sclerosis", gives detailed positive and negative effects of many supplements:
A MUST READ for anyone with MS:
MANAGING MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS NATURALLY: A Self-Help Guide To Living With MS
(REVISED, UPDATED) ] By Judy Graham
Judy Graham was diagnosed with MS at age 26, so she has had a lifetime to experience different therapies, research and write the original in 1984, as well as this revised edition in 2010. It is a very thorough and well researched book on diet, supplements, alternative therapies, toxic overload, mental attitude, etc. *** I consider this a "must read" for anybody with MS.
Facing the Cognitive Challenges of Multiple Sclerosis 2nd Edition
MS and Your Feelings: Handling the Ups and Downs of Multiple Sclerosis
by Allison Shadday, LCSW
This book focuses on another major aspect of MS.
"…an MS diagnosis…changes your life forever…the news can turn your world upside down, All your previous assumptions and expectations are replaced with uncertainty." "Shock is a human response that allows us to accept the unacceptable gradually, from a psychological distance, rather than being overwhelmed….."
"After we're first diagnosed, our belief systems are challenged and our trust in all we once knew is broken."
Some more thoughts from the book:
"We tend to compensate for our losses. In fact. we become so skilled at adjusting to our symptoms,that we fail to objectively see changes in our abilities. 'compensation is a great coping technique."
"Eventually, you will begin to reshape your identity and establish a new sense of yourself as someone who has MS but who is not consumed by it."
Supplements That I Take for MS & Health:
For Brain Fog:
This supplement is new for me. My neurologist recommended PhosphatidylSerine for memory issues, about a year & a half ago. As I had just started taking so many supplements I started taking only 100 mg a day, which didn't seem to do much – taking 3 a day on top of everything else was too much. However, I started taking this 3x per day, or 100mg x 3 for 300mg per day & the brain fog has lifted!
One day I woke up and felt very clear and light, not weighed down – I hadn't felt like that for a long time! I continue to enjoy increased mental clarity and reduced anxiety
Needless to say, I highly recommend this for anyone dealing with this common symptom. It is also good for anxiety and difficulty with concentrating, both of which I've been dealing with. After taking Phosphatidylserine and other phospholipids are structural components of a brain neuron, and phosphatidylserine is a component of the cell membrane.
I recommend both of these, depending on your preferences.
Natural Factors has a gelatin capsule of 100mg,
and NOW has a tablet of 150mg.
They are both Soy Free and Non-GMO:

Short of writing a coffee table book on the subject, our love for coffee tables knows no bounds. The sleeker, the bolder, and the more original the better - and here we've picked 10 which should be high on most furniture shopping lists.
Because nothing says 'coffee table' quite like whupping a bloody Sub Zero on Mortal Kombat via this £3,999 hardwood and glass arcade machine, does it? And that's the charm of this handcrafted piece: old-school buttons and Intel Pentium Dual Core hidden for when your auntie comes over for tea, then totally accessible when you're only left with a gingerbread man left to dunk. "Finish him!"
You don't need to be James Cameron to appreciate the rugged 3D topographical treat that is The Abyss, deftly layered by London design house Duffy, using pressured glass effects to create those dark fathoms. But with only 25 made and each costing £5,8000, it might help.
Mathematics and tables might sound like high school all over again, but this is anything but. The genius behind this gravity-defying piece, designed with such preciseness that a single millimetre's deviance would cause it to topple over, is Paul Cocksedge, whose work went on show in both London and New York last year. Only 10 have been made.
For most men, the thought of seeing a £260,000 Italian supercar crushed and encased under a coffee table is enough to wake up in a cold sweat. Luckily, the smashed Ferrari tucked inside this piece of furniture was already destined for the scrap heap before Corsican designer Charly Molinelli salvaged it and upcycled it for an anonymous client. We can only guess at the head of Lamborghini.
Ever laid eyes on a more deliciously ironic piece of furniture? This piece of hipster home-wear is the brainchild of quirky US design trio TAYBLES (like we said, quirky), who allow customers to customise their own with a number of various stains colours and graphics, scrawling your own own mix tape name on the finished product as a bonus. You won't need a giant pencil for those big holes, either. They're stainless steel cup holders.
Eclipsing even the aforementioned cassette tape table in the retro stakes, this £1,242 wooden VHS coffee table – hand-carved from recycled Indonesian teak by T76 Design - is so rich in nostalgia it not only comes with the names of numerous cult '80s films carved into it, but has some crossed out for an added nostalgia overload. Police Academy 4 was always going to usurp the Star Wars trilogy, right?
How novel: a coffee table with somewhere to actually store coffee table books. The neat and clever design works with one leg acting as cross-section of a rotated cube, allowing owners to flaunt their classy reading collection in style. At the risk of sounding like Homer Simpson, our only adjustments would be a cup holder or two. For £1,200 you'd expect that much.
For anyone more interested in where to keep their magazines, however, let us introduce the Belgium-made TableMag, equipped with built-in racks to ensure those 14 of copies of Monocle you've never actually read. Prices start from £350.
What better surface to serve a gaming fan a cuppa on than this walnut slice of Nintendo nostalgia? Finished off with doubtlessly rich mahogany, glass and various types of maple, the bonus here is that it actually works as a controller. Seriously. You can bash the buttons to elicit the right console responses, though you'd probably want to buy this TV to play it on.
A philosophical eco-message about the melting ice caps? Possibly. A marvellous fiberglass pearl design serving as both optical illusion and something to put your feet on as you watch TV? Definitely. Manufactured by Every Design in Canada, it's available for build on request and we can see no reason why you'd plump for anything else.
