An alternative walk from PC to Kilchoman is to take the wee road west over the hill to Kilchiaran, up over/behind the radar station and down on to Machir Bay

Would visiting Islay and it's distilleries work backpacking with a tent? I guess that would be my method of choice, guess you would need more than a week then if you really want to visit them all.

The rims also have a 3+6 offset which really makes a nice wide stance. They are a little on the heavy side but I bought them for mostly desert riding. Shipping was lightning fast.

Scientific journals are stuck in the 19th century, says Conservancy scientist Bob Unnasch. They index their articles by topics and concepts and not locations — making them difficult to search for place-based conservation scientists.

AMC is debuting a new series November 6, a tense drama "Hell on Wheels" set in post Civil War America. It may seem like a cliche, but one of the main characters is an ex-Confederate soldier bent on avenging the brutal rape and murder of his wife during the war. This story line definitely recalls the recent Civil War movie "Johnathan Hex" based on a graphic novel. Actually the similarity ends there. Another main character, played by rapper Common, is an emancipated slave trying to make his way in the West. Of course, these two characters meet. Both these men become involved with the building of the transcontinental railroad which provides a vital backdrop to the story, hence the name "Hell on Wheels." The drama promises to be gripping and certainly will be if the producers' previous successes with "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead" are any indication.

Guy, I like the overall show, but its supposed to be set in 1865 and they're using 66 Winchester Yellowboys. Who ever is the advisor on the army troops should be shot. especially the officers. They are not even close to being in the proper uniform. now grant you, its a frontier post, but the costume on the officer is laughable. I sent the production company a letter and where to find the proper uniforms for the troops. I also made it clear that at no time did the cavalry use Winchesters. during that time period they should be equiped with Spencer Carbines. s otime will tell if they pay any atterntion to the complaint. Personally, I doubt it. I know how directors can be. Asses. |

On a regular basis each OEM defines its "Vehicle Program" and this often results in a trade-off between the 'Offer' (vehicle range, industrial capacity, finished goods inventories…) and the 'Demand' (customer orders, distribution company replenishment needs…).
In fact this "vehicle program" is the result of industrial and commercial gambles that answer contradictory objectives: minimal options and a reduced range of vehicles on the production side, versus maximum model flexibility and a broad range of options on the sales side.
On the planning side this can result in instability in the value chain with excessive safety stock levels, delivery shortages, and over consumption of resources with the associated inherent costs. While on the sourcing side, the OEM's buyers have difficulty in optimising their target costs from their Tier 1 suppliers.
How BearingPoint brings value
BearingPoint has developed a complete solution set (Trademark registered) to support the OEM's planning process.
In the short to mid-term perspective this solution set enables the OEM to increase their sales by 3% to 5% and to drastically reduce their Operating Working Capital
In the long term the increased accuracy of procurement forecasts has a major impact on the risks borne by the OEM's suppliers and can lead to reductions in sourcing costs by a further 2% to 5%.
The fundamentals of this approach are:

Exec Who Allegedly Enabled Fraud Runs Chase's Effort to Compensate Foreclosure Victims
[Photo Credit: Joshua Roberts/Bloomberg]
By Paul Kiel, ProPublica
An executive who the Justice Department says facilitated a scheme to defraud Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is now spearheading JPMorgan Chase's role in the government's program to compensate victims of the big banks' abusive foreclosure practices.
The executive, Rebecca Mairone, worked at Countrywide and Bank of America from 2006 until earlier this year, when she left for JPMorgan Chase, according to her LinkedIn profile.
In a lawsuit filed last month in federal court in New York, Justice Department attorneys allege that Countrywide, which was bought by Bank of America in 2008, perpetrated a two-year scam to foist shoddy home loans on Fannie and Freddie. Neither Mairone nor any other individuals are named as defendants in the civil suit, and no criminal charges have been filed against her or anyone else in connection with the alleged misconduct. But Mairone is one of two bank officials cited in the suit as having repeatedly ignored warnings about the "Hustle," as the alleged scheme was called inside the company, and she prohibited employees from circulating some of those warnings outside their division.
Mairone was chief operating officer of the Countrywide lending division that allegedly carried out the "Hustle." She took the helm of JPMorgan Chase's involvement in the Independent Foreclosure Review this summer, according to a former Chase employee.
The review, overseen by federal banking regulators, requires the nation's biggest banks to compensate victims for harm they inflicted on borrowers. Victims can receive up to $125,000 in cash or, in some cases, get their homes back. But the review has already been marred by evidence that the banks themselves play a major role in identifying the victims of their own abuses, raising the question of whether the review is compromised by a central conflict of interest.
Mairone's role raises additional questions about the Independent Foreclosure Review.
The review "never seemed designed to place first the interests of those who were supposed to be helped u2014 victimized homeowners," said Neil Barofsky, the former federal prosecutor who served as the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, better known as the bank bailout.
"Finding out that the person running it for JPMorgan Chase is a person whose conduct in the run-up to financial crisis was allegedly so egregious that she somehow managed to be one of the only people actually named in a case brought by the Department of Justice goes beyond irony," he continued. "It speaks volumes to the banks' true intent and lack of concern for homeowners when addressing the harm that they caused during the foreclosure crisis."
In response to ProPublica's questions about Mairone's role in the foreclosure review and the suit's allegations, Chase issued a brief statement confirming that Mairone is a managing director who is "working on the Independent Foreclosure Review process." The statement added, "It would not be appropriate for us to discuss another firm's litigation."
Chase declined to make Mairone available for comment, and she did not return a message left at her home number.

"This is work that took a long time, many years in terms of knowing the position, the development of my abilities and also the talent and potential that I was born with.
"Through lots of training, I went along perfecting it, along with knowing the team that I play with, both Atletico Madrid and my national team, which allowed my good development as a striker."
While league and cup success with Atletico remains his priority, the opportunity to lead Colombia into battle at the 2014 World Cup is high up on the agenda.
Colombia has not appeared at the World Cup finals since 1998, but is third in the South American qualifying section. The top four of the nine competing nations will automatically qualify for Brazil, while the fifth-placed team goes into a playoff against an Asia confederation side.
Falcao who has scored five goals in six qualifying games, wants the latest generation of Colombian talent to write their own records and emerge from the shadow of former great players such as Carlos Valderrama and Faustino Asprilla.
"We're forming quite a strong team and hopefully we can manage to qualify for the World Cup and for the next few World Cups and bring lots of other triumphs and victories home," he said.
"I don't like comparisons too much -- we simply want to write our own history and hope that it's important for our country."

Thread: Doubles front player problem
Doubles front player problem
My partner is mainly the attacker when we gain the attack, so I play front. He is by far the best smasher in terms of power compared to the pairs we play against.
Here's my problem: Today, he smashed and the feather of the shuttle SKIMMED my ear. Another time he smashed and it cut though my hair.
By the rules we would of lost the post but anyway, how can I counter this? Crouch a bit? Stay a little to the other side? Move back (or forth) more?
The thing you should do is to crouch a bit more, and if ur not doing it, you shall start! I think that is the best way to do it.
Haha yeah. Crouching would be the way to go. I was at the back once, and i was playing with a complete amateur. I went for a smash, and my partner just stood straight up, even though they knew i was going to smash. This story ends with me hitting my partner in the head. Ouch. I'm not proud of it, but they really i guess i (accidentally) taught them the hard way.
Yes... crouch down. Maximum height your head can be at is the height of the tape, so crouch down to level with the net tape if you're very tall (6'0 and above). Note that crouching down makes you more stable and might hinder your acceleration depending on your stance, so lean abit forward to break the stability.
I do not agree with crouch down to net tape level. It's harder to see the return bird.
Just tell your partner to practice on accuracy of his smashing.
Yes true bend down give you more stabilize position and good for return the quick drive, but not when you're bending too low. 6 feet and above, bend lower than the net lvl?
that's pretty low.
To find your answer, you should watch some of those professional tournaments on youtube and observe how the front player stand. Almost all professional players keep their stances low and light on their feet to move quickly. The Danish players are pretty tall in general but see how low they kept their stances.
When I said crouch down, I don't mean bend almost 90 degree forward at the waist but rather bending at the knees and keeping a low profile. That itself will help you defend against drives if your partner hit a bad smash.
Another reason for keeping your stance low is to give your partner the best field of vision of the court so that he can make the best decision from his observation of the opponents' positions and also that you don't screen him from opponents' return shots or worse, block his shots. When your partner is at the baseline pounding down the shot, you should move slight away from the T and the net but on the same side as him to defend drives aimmed at him. Shadow his movement by observing the return shots from your opponents. Only move forward to the T when you think your opponent is going to contact the shuttle late. Midcourt is usually where the front player is most of the time, you only go to the net when you anticipate a netkill opportunity or to retrieve a drop/netshot.
Playing front is very hard as you have to think and move fast so much faster, you'll tire out your partner if you don't anticipate well enough to intercept shots or kill the rally because the other side would tire him out by lifting or driving past you.Last edited by cappy75; 05-01-2009 at 05:31 AM.
true that they crouch low, but not super low. There is no reason to low as the tape. Because if you draw out the sketch. From the point where your partner smash down to the close of the tape (point that the bird makes it over) And now draw a horizontal line from the tape, to your partner body. That is obviously therez more space for you to head up so you able to see clearer.
Like cappy said about the T.
Well first of all I just want to state this is just one of my opinion.
Anyway, If itz back line lift right corner (all the way to the back right corner), for length side, the front person stands between middle and the server line. And width side, stand on the right side of the middle line. Low close to the tape if you want just make sure you able to see OVER the net not THROUGH the net.
Correct me if i'm wrong, in double playing agaisnt strong players who able to return strong smash easily, we do not cross smash. Unless is half smash (bird go quick and away from them)
Therefore, if your partner smash straight shot side line, you are no where near the bird to block it. And even if your partner do a cross smash, you are not in the middle of the court to block his shots.
But overall, it is really important for a player to aim accurate before he smash, if you can't elimate yourself from the hitting partner zone, then you're just not that great of a player. Furthermore, you can't control your smash. Yea sure sometime you'll able to see a decend player, I've saw one. And he smashed at his partner head. That doesn't mean he sucks. He just not good with his smash. However, if you consider can't controll the smash = bad player, I will agree too.
Communicate with your partner and when the bird flies over you, know which side it'll be on and move a bit to the other side.
If the smash has a decent downward angle, you can straight or cross it as long as the opponent has to lift it up. In general, players are advised not to smash crosscourt because it's harder to defend if the smash is a flat one that can easily be driven back straight to an opening where neither you or your partner are positioned to intercept.
It's important to vary your shots to throw off your opponents so you shouldn't limit yourself to certain shots although most players already do that because they play patterns of comfortable shots. That's why it's important to practice taking shots early to maximize options and hitting downwards shots anywhere on the court. Afterall it's easier to hit overhead to anywhere than scrapping shots close to the ground. I am speaking from a doubles point of view but it certainly applies to singles as well.Last edited by cappy75; 05-02-2009 at 02:34 AM.

From Entertainment Weekly by Karen Valby:
Kristen Stewart, the 19-year-old star of the Twilight franchise, knows that she can come across as sullen and self-conscious in the public eye. But during an exclusive EW roundtable in Vancouver, Canada, where the cast was prepping for their last week of the Eclipse shoot and then the immediate onslaught of publicity for the November 20th release of New Moon, Stewart was funny, quick and outspoken in a wide-ranging conversation with co-stars Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson.
Asked about the endless rumors of her supposed off-screen romance with Pattinson, for instance, Stewart got nicely fired up. "I probably would've answered it if people hadn't made such a big deal about it," she said. "But I'm not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about 'Well, you chose to be an actor, why don't you just f—ing give your whole life away?! Can I have your firstborn child?'"(Gozde: *coughs* Actually I'd like to have Rob's first born.... Or last born... I'll carry the baby myself. I am THAT unselfish:))
Pattinson himself, who clearly loathes confrontation, tried to softly interject with philosophical statements about the need for an actor to hold onto his individuality. But Stewart cut him off. "I've thought about this a lot," she said. "There's no answer that's not going to tip you one way or the other. Think about every hypothetical situation: 'Okay, we are. We aren't. I'm a lesbian.' I'm just trying to keep something," she said. "If people started asking me if I was dating Taylor, I'd be like 'F— off!' I would answer the exact same way." Without missing a beat, Pattinson looked at Lautner, promising "Me too." (Gozde: And this answer Rob is why I wanna have your first born :))
Thanks @ViviLit_V09 for the tip :)

The 381st Bomb Group welcomes you to the official 381st Bombardment Group (Heavy) Memorial Association web site. The 381st Bomb Group was a B-17 Flying Fortress unit based at Ridgewell, England, Station 167, as part of the mighty Eighth Air Force from 1943 to 1945. The group flew in the 1st Combat Wing, First Air Division of the 8th Army Air Force.
The memorial association is for all elements of the 381st Bomb Group, its squadrons, and the commands of the 432nd Air Service Group. Our 800+ members are comprised of 381st WWII veterans, their descendants, and friends of the 381st. The association celebrated the 36th annual reunion in 2012 and is scheduled to meet again in 2013 in San Antonio Texas in August 2013.
The association publishes a newsletter, holds well attended yearly reunions, regularly produces a membership directory, has an active forum, answers research questions via this web site, maintains an archive of photographs and 381st historical information, offers association materials for sale via the PX, and much more.
Join the 381st BGMA!
The association was formed in 1977 at an Eighth Air Force Association reunion when six 381st BG veterans decided to try to find other group veterans and hold collateral meetings at the 8th AF reunions. They found about twenty other 381st BG veterans and held their first independent meeting at Hershey, PA, in 1978 with John Wierman as host.
T. Paxton "Pax" Sherwood was an driving force behind the early years of the association. The association has held annual reunions each year since 1978.
The association is incorporated in the state of Wisconsin and has nonprofit status granted by the IRS.
The purpose of the association is to encourage fraternal activities, foster patriotism and loyalty, maintain historical records, assist members of the association and their families, maintain allegiance to the United States, and to preserve and defend it from all enemies. - from the association constitution adopted in 1989.

The Other Side of the Coin is available through Steam and GamersGate, and other digital retailers. Play it.

weaver of the unseen | 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones Tyrion attempts to restrain Joffrey's cruelty, while Catelyn tries to brokerr a peace between Stannis and Renly. In the meanwhile the Queen of the Dragons arrives to the great city of Oarth in a hope find refuge from there. But is there such a thing for Arya and Gendry at the pits of the Harrenhal?

Squeezy Snow-Bum | Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones Thank you, ctg, I watched the ep earlier today and was going to create a thread then got distracted. Sorry about that, I know you didn't want to be doing it all the time! Anyways, much better ep, I thought. I even didn't mind Tyrion in this one. Still love Bronn. Hate Joffrey! Wanted to punch him right in the fizzog. The Melisandre stuff makes me sad because I know what's going to happen next. I'll never forgive GRRM for that. Spoiler: I'm disappointed that we get so little of Renly, as I presume he's going to get it in the neck next episode. I'll just have to hope for more Bronn as he's the only other character I'm fussed about. Dislike Stannis. Not sure why people think he's so fantastic especially after certain things he does. Still liking the Arya/Gendry stuff. Um... what else. I can't remember. Frustrated that Dany didn't just show matey her dragons and get on with it, but then, I can't remember what she did in the books. |

weaver of the unseen | Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones This series is going forward in such a pace, that I'm afraid they are losing audience along the way. And only if they could give it a couple of more episodes they could slow down the things and let the audience to savour the fine detail GRRM had breath in this world. It's so full of it. And to me that is the thing this episode brings in to the audience, when it shows two new, previously unseen places. The other one is the great walled city of Quarth and the other, the pits of Harrenhal - the home castle of the clan Lannisters. And they are like two sides of one coin, where one is an oasis and the another, a hell carved from the belly of the Westeros. Still, Harrenhal feels home to my European eyes, where as Quarth a paradise full of snakes. We see which is which, don't we? Although I suspect that most of you wouldn't feel so comfortable among the rats of Harrerhal, and you could image yourself sunbathing at the rooftops of Quarth palace, wouldn't you? But not for once would yoube wanting clicking your pints with the bastard son of Lannister's, would you? Joffrey is absolutely horrible and I for one, would want to see him being sent to face a certain doom in the hands of Harrenhal's half-witted and mostly bored torturers. We see if my wish is going to be granted and I only suspect that his death isn't going to be as painful and horrifying as what I'd like it to be. Then again I can only can start to imagine what sort of terror that shadowy monster, we saw at the end of the episode, is going to cause at the ranks of Renly's men. My suspicion is that it's going after the king himself. |

| Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones I hate Joffrey. I absolutely hate him! Bron, on the other hand (despite huge misgivings about his initial casting), I absolutely adore. "There's no cure for being a c*nt". And that's his King he's talking about! Bronn, you tell it how it is my man! Harrenhal was pretty horrible, but I was glad to see Tywin back on screen. It's been a while since we saw him. I was a little worried about Gendry, but he lives to fight another day! I did enjoy the shadow baby scene. The night definitely is dark and full of terrors. I feel like I can't say too much for fear of spoilers. |

Keep Moving Forward! | Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones In what perhaps may be an indication of how the series is losing (or confusing) viewers who haven't read the books - Harrenhal is not, in fact, the seat of the Lannisters. That would be Casterly Rock, on the western coast. Harrenhal is in the Riverlands, ancestrally home to the (long dead) Harrens (they had a dragon problem), but most recently seat of Janos Slynt and subsequently offered as a prize to Littlefinger. |

| Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones I thought the pacing was good with only the Dany story jarring(as it did in the books for me). Harrenhal was excellent. Was that Polliver in the torture scenes? I always imagined Roose Bolton as someone paler, but we shall wait and see how his character pans out in the series. The viewing figures are holding steady, although down slightly on last week. The show is still trouncing all it's other rivals on Cable TV. |

| Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones I thought it was the best episode of the season so far. Could have done without the scene with Joffrey and the prostitutes, tbh, but the rest was excellent. I thought the last scene was fantastic, I'd been waiting for it to happen. Funny how they seem so reluctant to show the dragons. I guess this week's FX budget went on the Shadowbaby scene and the shots of Qarth. Quite happy at some of the stuff they cut out, too. The way the first three episodes had been so exposition heavy I thought they were getting bogged down. The pacing has been too slow for me, in the first three episodes, but some good choices about what not to include meant they finally got all the main storylines moving. I'm sure Pyke was shown on the map in the opening credits, but none of the episode took place there, did it? Strange mistake, if so. |

Banishment this world! | Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones Quote:
how can you not like Tyrion? He's the man! He makes a brilliant Hand imo. Oh well, guess we all have different tastes. I for one don't care much for Renly, but I like Margaery Tyrell. I think she is going to be great. Bronn is awesome too, and I think they want us to hate Joffrey, so you're not alone there. I disagree Bugg, the scene with Joffrey and the prostitutes wasn't out of place at all. It shows just how much of a sadist he is, and I felt it was quite toned down compared to what I remember of such scenes in the books. I didn't like him with the crossbow pointing it at Sansa though. | |

Banishment this world! | Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones Oh right, well that's fair enough too. Personally I could have done without the Renly/Loras scenes, but others might strongly disagree with me there. My reasoning is that it's only vaguely implied in the books, yet HBO jumped on it, and expanded the scope of the situation, to appeal to the members of the audience who are interested in such things. |

Squeezy Snow-Bum | Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones Right. Angry Mouse. First of all I keep getting logged out. Secondly, I'm stuck at work and have just had a fight with a badge machine. If I hear anybody else whinge about Renly and Loras I'm going to have some sort of rage blackout. Seriously. And this isn't aimed at you, Warren, it's aimed at the dimwits on Facebook who keep posting 'OMG why do we need to see gay men OMG OMG' or however it is young people write nowadays. As far as I'm aware we haven't seen any EXPLICIT Renly & Loras scenes at all, have we? No. We've seen them kiss. Everything else has cut away, or as in this ep, Loras turned him away. Now come on! We see Theon banging some woman every week and we don't get half so much complaining. We have those two women, not even characters we know, doing it and again, hardly anybody bats an eye. Yet, shock horror, two men KISS and, my god, let's freak out. Must burn mine eyes out for I have seen two adults kiss. Get. The hell. Over it. Seeing two men together isn't going to make you gay, you can stop panicking. |

| Re: 2.04: Game of Thrones - Garden of Bones Well said Mouse! Well said indeed! I couldn't agree more. If homosexuality offends some people so much, those same people should be objecting to the scenes with two women going at it. And I'm not talking about whether these scenes capture the spirit of the book or whatever. Why aren't those who object to Loras & Renly shouting from the rooftops about how disgusting it is to watch two women getting it on. Because it's utter hypocrisy otherwise. PS Your last paragraph made me chortle into my coffee! |

Treasury 10-year notes rose for a fourth day before President Barack Obama meets Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress this week for negotiations to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.
Benchmark 10-year yields fell to the lowest level in two months as European policy makers and the International Monetary Fund clashed over the length of time Greece will be given to reduce it debt levels. The Federal Reserve will today buy as much as $5.25 billion of Treasuries maturing in November 2018 to August 2020 as part of its program to replace shorter-maturity notes in its holdings with longer-dated bonds to reduce longer-term borrowing costs.
Treasuries are rallying as "there's a lot of pessimism around the U.S. fiscal cliff and Greece," said Barra Sheridan, a rates trader at Bank of Montreal in London. "The IMF are correct to dig their heels in over Greece. However, we've already had a decent rally in Treasuries, and I wouldn't buy them here."
The 10-year yield declined two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 1.59 percent at 10:43 a.m. in London after dropping to 1.57 percent, the lowest level since Sept. 5. The 1.625 percent note due in November 2022 rose 7/32, or $2.19 per $1,000 face amount, to 100 3/8.
The bond market was shut yesterday for Veterans' Day.
Obama Meeting
Obama is due to meet with Republican and Democrat leaders from the House and Senate on Nov. 16. Ten-year yields have fallen about 17 basis points since the Nov. 6 re-election of the president, who supports the Fed's plan to spur the economy through bond purchases.
The fiscal cliff stems from a standoff between Obama and Congress over how to curb soaring U.S. debt through a mix of tax-code changes and reduction in federal spending. Without new legislation, a combined $607 billion in tax increases and spending cuts will take effect starting in January.
"We're cognizant of the knee-jerk market reaction that Obama's win raises the chance of messy fiscal negotiations and a more pro-active Fed," said Sebastian Mackay, an investment director at Standard Life Investments Ltd. in Edinburgh. 'However we see this as a move to oppose." Standard Life, which oversees $250 billion, holds fewer Treasuries than recommended in benchmark indexes the company follows, Mackay said.
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde yesterday took issue with a decision by euro-area chiefs to postpone the goal of getting Greece's debt down to a "sustainable" level of 120 percent of gross domestic product by two years, until 2022.
"Debt sustainability of Greece has to be measured in 2020," Lagarde said. "We clearly have different views. What matters at the end of the day is the sustainability of the Greek debt."
Economists say a report this week will show consumer-price inflation stayed higher than Treasury yields.
U.S. consumer prices excluding food and energy gained 2 percent in October from a year ago, according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News before the data is released Nov. 15. A similar gauge for producer prices climbed 2.4 percent, a separate Bloomberg survey showed before the report tomorrow.
The so-called real yield on U.S. 10-year notes, or the difference between their yield and the current rate of inflation, was minus 42 basis points.
"Treasuries' real yields are negative and that helps sap demand for the securities," said Makoto Suzuki, a senior bond strategist in Tokyo at Okasan Securities Co. "It raises the question whether Treasury yields can go lower from here."

Irritable Bowel Syndrome - New Dietary Guidelines |
The British Dietetic Association (BDA) has issued evidence-based guidelines for the dietary management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adults. The new recommendations were published online April 10 and in the June print issue of the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics. "[IBS] is a chronic and debilitating functional gastrointestinal disorder that affects 923% of the population across the world," write Y.A. McKenzie, MSc, from Nuffield Health the Manor Hospital, Oxford, United Kingdom, and colleagues from the BDA Gastroenterology Specialist Group. "Diet and lifestyle changes are important management strategies. The aim of these guidelines is to systematically review key aspects of the dietary management of IBS, with the aim of providing evidence-based guidelines for use by registered dietitians." A guideline development group wrote questions concerning diet and IBS symptom management, such as the role of milk and lactose, nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP), and fermentable carbohydrates in abdominal bloating; use of probiotics; and empirical or elimination diets. To identify pertinent studies, the investigators electronically searched the Cinahl, Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from January 1985 to November 2009. On the basis of their comprehensive literature search and critical appraisal of 30 studies, the group developed evidence statements, clinical recommendations, good practice points, and research recommendations. The resulting dietetic care pathway followed a logical sequence of treatment, including 3 lines of dietary management:
Clinical RecommendationsSpecific clinical practice recommendations, and their grade of recommendation, include the following:
"Because much of the evidence is of poor quality and limited by the lack of suitable papers for inclusion, research recommendations were also proposed," the authors add, stating that future research should involve "[a]dequately powered and well designed RCTs, with long-term follow-up," and "should focus on the clinical effectiveness and/or safety of dietary treatments using objective symptom assessment and taking into consideration IBS-subtype." The General Education Trust of the BDA partly funded this project. All members of the IBS dietetic guideline development group signed conflict-of-interest forms annually during the development of these guidelines. J Hum Nutr Diet. 2012;25:260-274.

People admitted into Queensland adult psychiatric asylums while they were children from the 1950s to the 1980s have called for a separate inquiry into the abuse, torture and neglect they suffered.
Child abuse at what was most commonly known as Wolston Park Hospital, at Wacol, has been described as some of the worst in the state's history. Its victims have never received formal acknowledgement or compensation from the state government.
Children, some as young as 11, but most between 13 and 16, were mixed in with the adult population and some were housed inside what was then called Osler House, a ward for those the courts had judged to be criminally insane.
Though the exact number is unknown some survivors believe there to be no more than 10.
Susan Treweek, who had spent most of her life inside state-run orphanages and mental health facilities despite never being diagnosed with a mental health problem, spent eight years at Wolston Park, after she was first placed in Osler House in 1980, aged 15.
She believes between 25 and 30 children were placed inside Osler House during her detention.
''I was assaulted when I first got to Osler House by one of the male staff,'' Ms Treweek said.
''Sexual assault became a bit normal, if that makes sense. There were a lot of men there. And when you are drugged up on medication, it is really hard to fight them off.
''I was assaulted [sexually] in 1983 and gave birth to a son. They adopted him out, said I could never be a mother. But as bad as it was, the disabled children who were placed there, they have never had a voice. And they had it as bad as any of us.''
Sandra Robinson said she escaped Wolston Park in 1968, a year after she had been placed there as a 15-year-old.
Through the Freedom of Information Act, she received her medical files in 1997 and discovered she had been assessed three months after arriving at the asylum and found to be suffering from no mental illness. The doctor recommended her immediate release and placement in a business school. However, no action was taken to remove her.
Ms Robinson said as a ''habitual runaway'' she had been placed in Wolston Park by child welfare officers as a last resort.
''I ran away early and they caught me. I was locked up in a room for two weeks and it was more or less open slather for any guy [who wanted to come in] by the staff. They [the men] just came in whenever they wanted,'' Ms Robinson said.
And they told me then that if I escaped again, that there was a lot of suicides in the Bremer River, that's the river that ran through Goodna. And I thought they could probably get away with that, because no one was stopping them from what they were doing.''
Ms Robinson said she didn't speak about her experiences within Wolston Park for decades, until she discovered she was not alone.
''I had it in my little head that they had stopped doing it, so I never told anybody. I never spoke about it until some of it hit the papers [in the mid 1990s]. I never spoke about it,'' she said. ''Then I found out that they were doing it for years and I had a real guilt trip about that for many, many years, because I should have done something. I should have said something.''
Dr Adele Chynoweth, a visiting academic at the Australian National University College of Arts and Social Sciences, learnt of the Wolston Park abuse while the curator of the National Museum of Australia exhibition Inside: Life in Children's Homes and Institution , which opened in Canberra in November 2011.
Shocked that these women had never received formal acknowledgement of the abuse they received while wards of the state, she said it was her ''duty'' to keep researching and shining a light on the issue.
''These children, and it was young men and women, did not have any diagnosis of mental illness, they were locked up without any diagnosis at all,'' Dr Chynoweth said.
''The children were administered quite strong drugs, some drugs that are now banned. Paraldehyde for example, which is known to melt plastic, so you can imagine what that may have done to young bodies.
''Members of staff had a field day with these young, vulnerable women, in terms of physical, psychological, sexual and emotional abuse.
''Until the Queensland government stops trying to cover this up and come clean, we won't know the extent of what happened in there.''
Brisbane priest Father Wally Dethlefs was a chaplain at the now-defunct Wilson Youth Hospital, later renamed the Sir Leslie Wilson Youth Detention Centre, in the mid 1970s.
After he became aware children from Wilson were being transferred to Wolston Park in early 1974, he would make the trip from Brisbane's inner city to Wolston Park in Wacol to visit them, as he knew ''otherwise they would have no visitors at all''.
''I was quite shocked it had happened in the first place, because Wilson when I worked there in the early to mid 1970s had psychiatrists on staff and I was quite shocked that some of those young people were transferred to Wolston Park,'' he said.
''They would just get in a visiting psychiatrist from the community and that visiting psychiatrist would just tick the box and they would go [to Wolston Park].''
The priest said he took his concerns to the government and met with then health minister Llew Edwards.
''But nothing was done,'' he said.
Sir Llew, who was health minister between 1974 and 1978, defended the Joh Bjelke-Petersen government's record and said systems were put in place during his tenure at the ministry to separate and acknowledge the difference between ''the mentally handicapped and those with a psychiatric illness'', a distinction that had not been previously made.
However, while he recalled meeting with Father Dethlefs, he said he did not recall being told of any specific cases of abuse.
''If there was a complaint, I can give you an absolute assurance, if it was reported, systems were introduced in that time to have them investigated. We appointed a new position called a patient's friend and that person was independent, they were employed by the government, but they were independent of the various hospitals and care centres, and that person could be approached in total confidence,'' he said.
''I can assure you that any complaint that came to me was certainly investigated. It may not have got the response that the particular complainant wanted, but we always fully investigated with an independent person.''
Survivors have documented their experiences of being too drugged to speak or locked away when government officials came to visit. Others have said they were just too scared to tell anyone, too fearful of the punishment they would receive.
Ms Treweek, who is now the subject of a movie, Scab Girl Asylum: The Sue Treweek Story, said she has had a former patient's friend corroborate her story.
Dr Chynoweth said she had spoken to the same patient's friend, who still works within Queensland Health, who had substantiated her research.
The women at the centre of the abuse believe their story, while ''made public from time to time'', is not public knowledge because ''people are ashamed''.
After years of lobbying, the Bligh government issued an apology to ''those who as children in the care of the State of Queensland suffered in any way while resident in an adult mental health facility'' in 2010.
Ms Robinson, who has been asked to comment at the latest Queensland Commission of Inquiry into Child Protection after being told by a government officer that ''you [are all] the worst cases of abuse we've ever heard'' said formal acknowledgement of the Wolston Park atrocities and compensation was long overdue.
''I have given up on justice. It will never happen,'' Ms Robinson said.

I, personally, enjoy reading lyrics on songs and digging through them to see if there is anything deeper, intentional or not.
One I recently had is with the Beatles "Norwegian Wood".
I love lyric nitpicking.
"I wanted a girl
Or should I say, she wanted
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
She asked my to stay and told me sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on a rug, biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two, and then she said:
"It's time for bed,"
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't, and crawled off to sleep in the back
And when I awoke, I was alone
This bird has flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?"
Apparently, he burnt down her house in anger. That's something I never wouldn't gotten without reading the lyrics.
There are many others that I might post later, but this is the most recent one.
What seemingly simple songs have a nice little double meaning to you?

Ready to roll
But that's how it goes. I'm a tourist, not an ascetic. I haven't weighed the bike at all. These are things I'm best off not knowing. But I've made considerable improvement since my cross-country tour six years ago, when I carried a laptop and accessories that weighed close to 10 pounds by itself, along with a six-pound tent, a pillow(!), a full-sized Thermarest, three full changes of clothes and Tasty Bites (foil-packaged Indian dinners that we didn't really like and for some reason couldn't throw away, so we hauled a few most the way from Utah to New York.) Yes, I'm so much better now. At least I'm leaving the laptop behind.
I'm heading out Sunday for an overnight tour near the Uintas. I'll have my SPOT on but I'm not sure how interesting it will be. I don't feel comfortable mapping my own gravel route in the high country, so I may stick mostly to pavement. I may head out and back on some gravel if the conditions look good. I'm going to kind of wing it as I go. Sometimes, that's the most fun way to travel by bike. This is pretty much my last chance to dial in my gear in the field. After I get back, I'll talk about what comes next.
I had a great time visiting my friend Anna in Heber. She has a 1-year-old, Mia, who I've only recently met. Adorable, obviously. We met up at the Stewart Falls trailhead and I was surprised to see Anna's brother, Matt, in tow. Matt's with the Air Force and works all over the world - it was pretty random that he just happened to be visiting Utah during the same weekend I planned to visit Anna. It was fun to catch up with him. I went on a river trip with Anna's whole family four years ago and afterward felt tempted to ask Matt if I could run away with him to whatever exotic locale he was working at the time. He's married now. Too bad. :-)
After Stewart Falls, we hit the Dairy Keen for fresh raspberry shakes and then Cascade Springs. It was a pretty idyllic summer Saturday in Heber. I'm feeling a bit loathe to leave right now. But the solo bike tour awaits.

What up with all the green in the photos from Utah? Are you photo shopping trees and luscious watery settings? I had no idea Utah was so.... green!
Luck on your shake down cruise!

Stewart Falls, Cascade Springs, and of course Dairy Keen are some of my favorite places in the world. The bike ride down and back out of cascade however is not fun.
Have fun in the Uintas. - 8:17 AM

Jill, what is/who makes your map case dealio?
Mike In WI says,
Utah? Looks more like some places in Idaho to me!
Nice piece of kit Jill, sounds well thought out. Thanks for the description.
I must be getting old, my body now requires a thick air mattress for comfortable sleep, bug/critter screening and fresh brewed hot coffee in the AM or the rides are no fun any more.
YOU SOUND READY FOR THE GDR...GO GET EM. I will be rooting for you to have fun!
Mike In WI. - 2:19 AM
you are an awesome bike rider. Keep on pushing on. Live your dream don't dream your life

wow, stumbled onto a great blog here. keep up the great journalism!
i have to admit, i usually don't comment on blogs when i read them but i stumbled across this post, did a double-take on the photos and realized that Matt (Anna's brother) is my brother-in-law... he married my sister :P
i too had the pleasure of embarking on one of the crazy Roberts family raft trips in Utah a couple years ago... they are great people! - 5:02 PM
