ITV and Manning Gottlieb OMD win big at Media Week Awards
ITV picked up an impressive seven awards including Sales Team of the Year, Brand of the Year and the Grand Prix at the Media Week Awards last night, while Manning Gottlieb OMD won the coveted Agency of the Year prize.
ITV: team wins big at the Media Week Awards
ITV won the award for Sales Team of the Year in recognition of the results of its new sales strategy, including non-spot revenues climbing by 32 per cent, as well as Brand of the Year following the rebrand of all its properties in January.
The broadcaster picked up the Grand Prix for the second year in a row in recognition of the TA Live From Helmand campaign, which saw live footage from Afghanistan broadcast on ITV to promote the TA.
Judges said Manning Gottlieb OMD, led by the chief executive Robert Ffitch, was the type of agency they would "want in their corner". The agency is on track for its third year of double-digit revenue growth and staff churn is less than half the industry average.
Media Week's editor, Arif Durrani, said: "These are my sixth Media Week awards, but the quality of entries and the awards ceremony itself really were exceptional this year. The UK's media industry has had to adapt to unprecedented change, but real success stories with significant new revenue streams are starting to emerge.
"It has been a fantastic year for both ITV Media and Manning Gottlieb OMD, no one in the business will argue with that and they fully deserve their time in the spotlight. But all of this year's winners and commended shortlisted entries deserve recognition in a year co-chair Steve Hatch, chief executive of MEC, notably referred to as a tsunami of a high watermark."

"Sour" Gas Streams Safe for Carbon Sequestration, DOE-Sponsored Study Shows | ||||||
Washington, D.C. — Gas streams containing high levels of both carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can be safely used for carbon capture and storage (CCS), according to results from a field test completed by the Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership. The test by PCOR—one of seven members of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (RCSP) program—also demonstrated that carbon sequestration using so-called "sour" gas streams can be combined successfully with enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and H2S disposal.
The findings help support national and global efforts to develop and deploy CCS use as one option for mitigating global climate change. CCS involves the permanent storage of human-generated CO2 emissions in geologic formations deep underground, including depleted oil and gas reservoirs, deep saline formations, and unmineable coal seams. Some of these same geologic formations may also be fit for large-scale storage of CO2 streams containing significant quantities of H2S, a toxic and flammable "sour" gas that smells like rotten eggs. Results from the Zama field test will help in determining the technical and economic viability of CO2 and sour gas storage and support the ultimate deployment of commercial-scale projects. During the four-year field test, a gas stream composed of 70 percent CO2 and 30 percent H2S was injected at a depth of 4,900 feet in the Zama oilfield in northwestern Alberta, Canada. A total of about 33,500 tons of sour gas were injected, simultaneously sequestering CO2, disposing of H2S, and increasing oil recovery by reducing the viscosity of the crude oil and pushing it toward the production well. Apache Canada Ltd. undertook the injection and hydrocarbon recovery processes, while the PCOR Partnership conducted monitoring, verification, and accounting (MVA) activities to verify and validate the containment integrity of the reservoir. The project's goals, all achieved, included:
DOE's RCSP program is a government-industry effort that aims to determine the best approaches for capturing and storing gases that can contribute to climate change. The program is managed by the Office of Fossil Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory. The PCOR Partnership brings together more than 80 partners consisting of public agencies, utilities, oil and gas companies, engineering firms, nonprofit organizations, and universities. Led by the Energy and Environmental Center in Grand Forks, N.D., the PCOR Partnership has completed four small-scale validation tests and is currently conducting two large-scale development tests.

This is a famous route, not often done these days because of the dreaded word - "Offwidth". The name is a play on words of the even more famous Grand Jorasse in the Alps. It protects well with some big gear and is not at all runout like some of those Yosemite monster cracks. P1: This route starts from the top of the lower ramp, from the same place as Ruper. Head up the start of the Rover dihedral, until an obvious crack shoots off left before the Rover dihedral becomes hard. There are some pins in this awkward crack (as I recall), which is 5.9 for a short section. P2: This is an easy pitch (5.4) which follows a ramp and wide crack leftward to the base of the dreaded, right-facing corner of the Grand Giraffe (which breaches the roof left of Art's Spar). P3: This is the crux, and the difficulties start immediately. As I recall, there is a piton right away. At the start you can chimney the crack, with your back against the left wall, but soon the footholds on the right disappear. If you are a weenie like me, place a big Camalot above you at this point, which gives you a toprope for the crux. Struggle up through the crux and place your other big piece. Although the upper part of this crack looks intimidating, I found the crux to be the first 15'. Near the top you have to climb the main part of the overhang, but there is good pro and holds here. Belay at the Upper Ramp. From here the route continues above the Upper Ramp via two more fun pitches (5.7, but mildly runout). Cross the upper ramp to the upper end of a huge cave, 4th class (lower end is the start of upper Ruper and Alice in Bucketland). P4: Head straight up for 75', then traverse right and then up to a belay below a roof line. P5: The final pitch angles up and left, crossing the roofline at it's left edge, then continues up and right to the saddle between T1 and T2.
Standard rack to 3", plus some big gear will make this route comfy, say a #4.5 and a #5 Camalot.
I should point out that the first pitch as I describe it is often split into two pitches (this is the way Rossiter describes it). Eldo hard men will also lead this route with nothing bigger than a #3 Camalot. If you are solid at this grade and willing to run it out a bit you really don't have to bring any large gear.
Starting with Slimy Spoon to the Lower Ramp and then the Grand Giraffe to the Upper then Body Tremors to Smoke and Mirrors makes for a great yet moderate link up with a huge variety of climbing from juggy face to fingers to offwidth.
I think a #3 Camalot is plenty for the crux of this route, the pin offers good pro and then there is a good spot for the #3 about six or seven feet above. If I had brought a #4, I don't think I would have even used it and I suck at offwidth...
I think I'm comfortable doing this pitch without any offwidth gear because I place a #3 Ballnut where you exit the crack and move onto the face. I've fallen out of the crux a few times (onto the pin) and still don't ever take a #4 Camalot when I do this route knowing full well that I will probably fall off of it again. It is all a matter of person comfort level. A #4 or #4.5 would definitely make it feel safer, I wonder what Layton Kor used on the FA in 1960?????
The smallest Alien (.33) will also fit perfectly in the crack at the roof in lieu of the #3 Ballnut listed in a previous comment. Otherwise, it is nice to have a #4 and #4.5 Camalot.
I would not head up to onsight this pitch without a #5 Camalot unless you are very comfortable in offwidths. It is conceivable that once you know the moves, rests, etc. you could do it comfortably without it, but (for me anyway) it is a daunting and awkward climb and having the #5 to essentially keep you on TR is reassuring. The pin comes just before the crux OW moves, and does seem solid. The #4 goes in a little below it, just in case. A few moves/grunts into the crux you can get the #5 in over your head and bump it along with you all the way to the bulge 20' above. If you are tall like me, you can also get a #4.5 deep in the crack a few feet above the pin, as you move into the crux. All told, singles of the #4, #4.5, and #5 make this pitch as comfortable as OW can be. This route is fantastic and should not be avoided because of the OW. The lower pitches are great, the exposure is thrilling, and the OW is not that bad (I actually really enjoyed it).
I recommend placing some gear right away, then run it out of you like. Or, place a big cam, whatever. Just don't trust that pin, it is old and awkwardly driven. No telling how good it is. Beautiful route. Have Fun!
Bring one #4.5 Camalot, or like size. You don't need anything else other than a #4.5 for the crux to back up the pin. Nothing bigger than a Tech Friend #3.5 or Camalot #3 is needed for the other pitches. Double TCUs and stoppers are ideal. Be wary of the expando flake below the first pins on pitch 2. This is a seriously huge chunk of rock fixing to go -- tread lightly through this section!
Great route. I thought the best pitch was actually the 5.9 left angling crack pitch (that breaks off from the Rover dihedral), though it's all excellent. The upper pitches are fun and also make a good alternative to upper-Ruper if crowded. The crux was desperate for me and I was glad to have a #4 and #4.5. No Grand Giraffe onsight for me... Dang-it!
We did Grand Giraffe's first three pitches to Body Tremors to Smoke and Mirrors. This combo makes for a stellar day. P1. 5.9 - There is a parallel crack just to the left of the upper part of this crack. I stayed in the crack on the right, but using the other crack might make it a bit easier. I really enjoyed this pitch. P2. 5.6 (5.4 according to Rossiter) - this must've been the toughest 5.4 I've ever done. More like 5.6. P3. 5.10a - my partner, Mike Flanagan, led this with a #3 & #3.5 Camalot. He fit the #3.5 below the pin for a decent (although not ideal) placement. He used the #3 higher in the constriction. It did not walk (though could have). Look for high footholds out on the right face as you move through the crux. At the roof, a blue Alien fits decently. P4. 5.8s - Body Tremors. P5. 5.10a - Smoke & Mirrors.
PS: This is a good choice in the morning in the summer. We were in the shade nearly the whole day.
Not bad, but not my favorite Eldo route. Even though I am a Vedauwoo offwidth fan I would recommend saving this one for later. If you want the beta on pro, the above comments are terrific!
The 1970s gear beta for the crux pitch, back when this was a classic 5.8, was to trust the pin (and don't fall) for the first crux, then bring along one #10 hex for the upper part -- where it slotted in place "like a key in a lock." No worries about that walking out.
Has anyone used BigBro's to protect the OW crack? If so, what size? I am guessing they may get in the way while climbing, or the crack might flare too much. They would be easier to carry than large cams.
In 1968 the Grand Giraffe was rated 5.8 and I climbed it with Pat Ament and Royal Robbins. Royal announced that we were going to take no pitons and use only chockstones that he had brought back from England. This was to be the first time nuts were used in Colorado. After thinking over the fixed pins already in place, I thought it would be OK and joined them. We never protected the 5.8 offwidth at that time and it turned out to be Royal's lead. He stopped in the middle of the crux, turned around and looked down at us, and said " this is the hardest 5.8 I have ever done." He then turned back around and finished with no problem. I believe the gear we had were mostly Pecks and Moacs as stoppers and hexes were far in the future.
In reply to the coward. Yes you can use a bigbro, I think it was the blue, but it may have been green. I didn't lead it, or cleanly second it, (it is "harder than Pete") but in desperation and humiliation, I grabbed the big bro and used it like a big old ladder handle. It worked well for then, and now that I am a little better I will say that it is actually good to use a big bro if you are going to bring someone that isn't good with offwidth. What the leader of my party did was had a big bro, and then the old number 5 BD cam, and bumped them up so he didn't have to carry too many pieces. It worked well, and you can protect the whole OW with 2 pieces if you bump them.
Did this the other day and thought it was great. I approached this thinking that the OW was going to a desperate grunt, but found it to be quite good. One thing to keep in mind with the GG is that the crux is very short. Overall, a stellar climb and well worth doing. I would recommend a #4.5 Camalot instead of a #5 and a #3 works well five feet or so below the roof. As for it not being popular (as described in the intro), I started this at 11:30 am and was the third group on it.
I would bring more than a #3 Camalot for the crux pitch if you're a 5.10 leader such as myself. I backed up the piton with a #4 Camalot (old one) which was a hindrance because I had trouble squeezing into the 'crack'. I managed, though, probably because of my guttoral screams while getting through the crux.
Anyone that just brings a #3 Camalot is on the wrong route or crazy! After you clip the pin you can place a #5 Camalot that works well but a bit tipped-out. You can walk this up the entire route to the top. A big green Friend would also work well here.
Don't overlook upper Grand Giraffe above the Upper Ramp. The climbing is much easier but very fun, and the routefinding is complicated with funky gear. The rock is solid although covered with lichen. Also, on the last pitch it is really nice to climb up and right out of the belay in a dihedral that is much harder looking than it is, instead of up and left according to the route description. Above is one of the nicest easy pitches on hueco jugs imaginable.
I felt the 5.9 pitch was harder than the offwidth pitch. The offwidth looks intimidating from below, but it is really only hard for the first couple feet off the belay. I was expecting something longer and more sustained.
Was able to link the first two pitches described here (First three guidebook pitches) into one, stopping just shy of the normal belay ledge. This was with a 70 m rope, which is long enough to make it to the regular belay (a 60 m might work?). Plenty of runners help, although I ended up with a fair amount of rope drag on easier climbing.
Great route, and easier than I was expecting. I did much more chimneying than using pure offwidth technique. Gear beta: a green Big Bro fits well in the wide section.
Jim, Thanks for sharing some important history about this route. That is part of what makes this site so unique. It's essential to know this kind of history to grasp the roots and spirit of climbing.
This was one of my first 5.9s (in the 70s), boy did I feel like a hack, OW kicked my ass. At the time it felt like my first Eldo adventure.
A #3 Big Bro will protect the crux and a #2 Big Bro will protect the moves through the bulge. The best metal courage would be a #6 FR or C4. This is a spectacular wide line, which is really all you knee to know about the crux moves.
I brought only a #4 for the OW, and I still had it on my harness when I finished the pitch! You're better off bringing a #6 cam and walking that up; since a #4 Camalot doesn't fit anywhere above the (good) pin. Great route!
An old style #5 Camalot works great, and a C4 #5 works ok.
The absolute best pro is the old Chouinard 6" tube chock. The taper matches the crack exactly.
You can get good C3/Alien placements out left at the little roof at the end of the OW pitch.
Went up to do this route on the 3rd. Anyone who says you don't need a 5 or 6 for that matter is basically free soloing the whole off-width. I went up with 2 4s and could not find spots for them and was looking at free soloing the whole off-width. I declined and went and cruised Art's Spar which in retrospect is a lot better climb anyways. I will go back up there but not without a #5.
Yeah, I am not a good climber but a happy and grateful climber! I was soo happy to be off to climb GG!! The offwidth section I followed!! [Like most pitches I climb!!] This was verry hard and I'm worse on sport 10s then classic 10s, I think!! The entire route was great!! The offwidth does demand respect!! Unless 5.12 face is a good redpoint for you!! Still a worthy and legendary route!! Thank you climbing Patriarch Jim Logan for your comments!!! They inspired me to say this precautionary tale! Aspiring Eldo 5.10 leaders this is 5.10!!
One of the sweetest link-ups I've done to date: Grand Giraffe to Italian Arete to Smoke and Mirrors. Just plain AWESOME.
Did the route a couple of days ago and here's what I think: Combine first two pitches, kinda awkward but not the crux of the route for me. I only ended using one #5 on the width pitch, you can just keep bumping it up and be fine. Walk far enough back and belay off the tree. So bring a #5 and a long sling and go! Nice to finish with Italian Arete.
That offwidth pitch is tough! I brought a number 5 C4, and I wish that I had brought two. I placed one at the low crux, and then I had to climb back down and get it so that I could use it again to place it for the upper crux. The upper crux is definitely easier, but it's fairly run out above a good #3 Camalot that I placed way back in the crack. There is a fixed knifeblade to protect the lower crux and a yellow Alien in an expanding flake that kinda protects the upper crux, but I was happy to have the #5 C4 to back up these dubious pieces. I can see how people can do this pitch with only #3s, but I would recommend two large cams unless you're feeling especially lucky.
The FFA was done by John Thomas (physics student at UW in Laramie.), sometime around 1962-63. I was still in the Army when it was done. When I climbed it ~ 1966, it still had an awesome reputation for being the ultimate "hard man" climb in Eldorado Canyon.

Friendly cheap and cheerful hotel in walking distance to the sights. Kind of faded glory decor at least in our room which was kind of cool. Bruno and... the other guys are all dead friendly and you have to get buzzed in through two doors to get to the room so it felt very secure. My only suggestion for improvement would be a kettle and some tea bags in the room, but there was a fridge and a safe which was useful.

Mechanisms used to reflect the impact of trade problems on environment policy and vice versaAlthough no institutional arrangement has been specifically set up for the purpose of coordination with trading partners and neighbouring countries in terms of environmental policies, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry is the national focal point for all environmentally-related international Conventions and agreements to which Sri Lanka is a signatory. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs acts as the coordination point in related contacts with the other member countries of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation. That responsibility includes the exchange of information related to environmental policies and issues. In addition, Sri Lankan diplomatic Missions (under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to trading partner countries and neighbouring countries also act as information and coordination points on environmentally-related matters. Some of those Missions include representatives of the Department of Commerce (under the Ministry of Internal and International Commerce and Food) who are designated as Commercial Secretaries and who assist in the coordination of environmental issues related to trade. In the case of the private sector, the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sri Lanka, which is the umbrella organization of a large number of sectoral Trade and Industry Chambers, interacts on trade-related issues (including environmental issues) with its counterpart organizations in other member countries of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation. Similarly, the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce has set up its own Environmental Unit which is responsible, for example, for building links with similar units in other countries, and for administering fellowship and exchange programmes, with the objective of sharing experiences and expertise.

I had stayed at this very same Econolodge about 4 years ago and there hasn't been any changes made to the rooms. We picked this motel due to its location... being right off Hwy 50. It was nice to see they recently added a McDonalds nearby. My only suggestion would be for them to replace the bed pillows - way too lumpy! I woke up about 2:00 a.m to some loud talking - it turned out to be a TV in an adjacent room. Yorum, Hotels.com misafiri tarafından 17 May 2012 tarihinde yapılmıştır

This week, Nielsen announced its new "Internet Meter" will be available by the end of the year. But it won't actually be useful until 2011. And the cable companies' plans for TV Everywhere are likely to be put off until 2014. While television companies are talking a lot about putting their premium content online, it could be awhile before this becomes serious business.

Rupert Murdoch is going all in on paid content. The News Corp. head anounced yesterday during an earnings call that all of his publications will be charging for access within this fiscal year.
The announcement has been met with both derision and excitement. Charging for news content has the potential to shrink audience numbers and choke ad revenue. But as publications struggle to find the right revenue model, Murdoch's decision could pave the way for other organizations that have been talking a lot about charging online but doing little about it.
So will News Corp. sink or swim with its plans to charge for content? The answer, as with anything: it depends on execution.

Online video viewing is set to reach a milestone next year according to eMarketer. Numbers released this week show that half of Americans will watch online video next year.
But there needs to be a categorical shift of viewers online if the web video hopes to make the kinds of revenue that are seen offline.

Netflix has been hard at work getting its content on as many platforms as possible. This week, they're starting to stream early seasons of ABC shows like "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives." There are also rumors of a Netflix app that will soon stream video content to the iPhone.
This is all great news for Netflix. But is it a winning situation for the networks? Yes.

Television networks are desperately trying to bring their ad dollars from television onto the web. And Comcast's new strategy to earn ad dollars online is to simply shift put all of its content there.
A new partnership with Time Warner, called TV Everywhere, is bringing Comcast content online for their television subscribers. But while TV viewers might be glad to see that content on the web, they will be less enthusiastic about the fact that it comes with all of the network's television commercials.

The free online ad supported video segment may be growing, but new research shows that people are willing to pay for their online video.
According to a report by Boston-based Strategy Analytics, paid-for video is expected to grow faster than free ad-supported video over the next several years, at a rate of 39% annually, compared to 37% for free video.
That's good money if you can get it. But it will be a hard sell to get people to pay for things they get now for free.

Video portal Hulu has come a long way since it was colloquially known as "Clown Co." The website has since gotten a real name, design raves and 10% of the online video ad market.
And as video sites like YouTube struggle to bring in ad revenue and portals like Joost shutter, Hulu's network supported business model seems even stronger.
Today The New York Times discusses the reasons why Hulu works. Mostly, it's because they just throw network content up on the Internet unscathed.

News of Michael Jackson's death last month nearly shut down the Internets with interest and confusion as people went online to check and discuss the news. Today is the pop singer's memorial service in Los Angeles and online news channels and video hubs are preparing for similar levels of traffic.
Everyone - from the BBC to USA Today and MySpace - is planning to live stream the service, which is today at 10:00 PST at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. If viewer interest comes anywhere near the level expected by these sites, the whole Internet might shut down. Alternately, it could illustrate the potential of online video left untouched by profit motives.

Online video began as a short form medium, but as creators and audiences become more comfortable with longer videos online, advertising dollars will surely follow suit.
Sites like Hulu and YouTube have been focused on branding partnerships for professional video content online. And consumers are proving that they have the attention span for longer content.

It's no secret that despite the recession and shrinking overall budgets, major advertisers continue to shift ad dollars to online.
Earlier this month, Nielsen reported that in Q1, spending on local Sunday supplements fell 37.7% in the United States. A perfect example of how some of that spend is making its way online can be found with Office Depot.

The 4 reasons why Amazon won't be shipping by drone anytime soon
Drones would have to fly 12 hour-long, round-trip deliveries five days a week for eight years in order to be even a dollar cheaper than a human driver.
Does Japan show us the way out of secular stagnation?
Quantitative easing may have served a purpose, but now it is an impotent policy. Worse, even though it is redundant, markets have come to depend on it and go into a tailspin whenever Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke mentions the T word -- tapering. It seems unless we are careful, Summers warns, we are going Japanese, meaning that, like Japan's economy in the last two decades, we could find ourselves caught in a downward spiral in which falling growth chases falling prices chasing falling demand chasing falling employment.Philanthropy, stock-picking, and Presbyterian frugality

The first is that PM Enrico Letta will push through reforms now Silvio Berlusconi has been kicked out of parliament. If not, Matteo Renzi – who is expected to become the Democrats' leader on Sunday – should force elections and show he is as radical in deed as he is in words.When progress trumps privacy

Product 1383/2178
Suburban and lily-white, Charlotte is a breast-cancer survivor who has written off her sexuality. When an accident brings her face-to-face with her Raymond, her younger, ex-con, black neighbor, Charlotte must confront her feelings of desire.
Together the unlikely pair embark on an erotic journey that will change their lives forever.
On the counter in the bathroom there is a ceramic mug with a plug of soap sitting at the bottom. A brush is attached to it with a metal hook. Beside that is a leather strap that has been pulled taut around metal rod. Next to the strap is a narrow, six-inch long, one-inch wide, brown and beige carving. I pick it up. It's surprisingly heavy.
Upon inspection I see it's made of bone. A tiny battle scene, complete with three horses and seven men, is etched into the small space. Turning it over, I see a sliver of metal. I pull out a blade and realize it's a straight-edged razor.
After closing it, I bounce it in my hands a few times, feeling the weight before gathering the bowl, the brush, and the leather contraption. When I get back to the kitchen I hold the razor out and say, "Tell me this isn't what you shave with."
To my delight Raymond chuckles.
"I can't shave you with this," I protest.
"Nobody asked you to."
"I'll go home and get my razor," I say.
"Don't be thick. It ain't hard."
"I'm not thick. Jeez, Raymond."
He gets up from his chair and walks toward me. He's at least a foot taller, his arms are the size of my daughter's torso, and I notice an eagle tattooed on the left side of his chest along with an American flag. Military? He's standing close, but I refuse to take a step back.
"Add a little water to the mug, then whip up some lather."
I turn on the faucet and let water trickle into the mug. When Raymond reaches around me to flick on a light over the sink, I stop breathing. I feel the heat of his body, his breath on my neck, and it's all I can do not to sink back into him. To pretend we're lovers and that I'm entitled. He steps back.
I whip the soap and water into a thick creamy lather.
"If you can keep pressure on the cut, I can shave around it," he says.
I shake my head. "You may be good with the razor, but this is the top of your head. It'll be hard for you to see. I'll do it. How hard can it be? Men have been doing it for hundreds of years." I give him my best women-are-better-than-men smile and notice he doesn't look convinced.
"If you do it, I want you to practice first."
"I can shave your whole head starting at the back," I offer.
"I'll show you what to do. Hop up on the counter," Raymond says.
I laugh. "What?"
"There's a method to using this, and I don't need no more gashes in my head. Now get on up there."
"What are you planning to shave?" I back away.
"Your legs woman."
The idea of Raymond hovering over my legs with a razor makes my pulse race. I can't remember the last time I'd shaved my legs. "I don't want you shaving them."
He gazes into my eyes, and I feel like he's reading my thoughts. "It look like we at an impasse then. Why don't you go on home."
I sigh, wondering if Raymond and I will ever talk again. Not wanting this to be the end of our single meeting, I awkwardly climb on the counter. I slip off the Tweety-Bird slippers I'd been wearing to reveal a pale, pinkish-white foot with sprigs of hair sprinkled across the tops of my toes. I pull the pink leg of my silky pajamas up and lay a single calf over the top of the sink. The hair on my leg is light brown and creates a fuzzy sheen, reminding me of a caterpillar.
"How's this?" I ask.
Still holding the towel to his head, he says, "It'll do."
He's looking at my calf, so I let my eyes travel down his body. In better light, I can see there isn't an ounce of fat on him—he's a thick, solid, and powerful.

Hello to all, I finally finished the portable chicken pen and it is working!!! (UPDATED with additional information on Nov. 13, 2011.)
My goal here was to use the chickens to keep the growing beds weed-free through the winter rainy season here on California's north coast.
This is a "before" photo of the weeds that had overtaken the bed.
This is the "after" photo, having left the pen on the bed for 5 days. After a quick rake to remove larger debris, and a second pass with the hoe, the bed is in great shape.
I will start adding yard clippings, leaves, and bedding from the barn as it becomes available, and have the chickens at the ready to keep the weeds under control.
Come spring I hope to have a composted, fertilized and weed-free bed ready to go. (fingers crossed).
The construction of the pen was made very simple with some handy PVC snap fittings available from Peaceful Valley Farm & Garden Supply.
I used:
10 pieces of 10 foot long 3/4 inch pvc pipe (6 whole pieces, 2 cut in half and 2 cut to fit random lengths)
4 3/4 inch 3-way fittings for the corners
2 4-way fittings for the bottoms of the down supports that help balance the weight of the feeder
14 of the T fittings (these are not fixed into position, they "float" on the pipe)
an 8 x 10 tarp
some tarp tie downs, zipties
a small clip lock
I did NOT glue any thing together, just snapped it together and trust the sturdy fencing cover will hold it all together, so far so good. I simply used zipties to attach the fencing to the pipe.
By the way, I built the arches 5 feet apart matching the width of the fencing I had for easy coverage. Two pieces of fencing go over the arches and meet perfectly in the middle. I could have run the fencing the length of it, but it would have overlapped at the top and I don't think it would have stretched out as tightly over the frame.
For access into the pen, I cut out a square of fencing in the end of the structure, then cut a larger square to cover the hole, and attached it across the top with zipties not cinched up all the way tight. I use an inexpensive little clip lock to keep it secure on the bottom.
I covered the pen with an 8 x 10 tarp folded partially back over itself (double layer of tarp) to ensure the rain stays out. The tarp is secured with some fancy, and new to me, tie downs that were available right next to the tarps at the hardware store. I will see how they hold up to the wind and weather and keep you posted. Note, they were extremely easy to use.
Finishing touch, zip tie in a few sticks or drift wood that will support the chickens weight and your done. I added an extra arch near the rear in hopes of attaching some light weight nesting boxes but have not found just the right set up yet.
It took me one whole day to build this by myself.
The only tools required were wire cutters to cut the fencing, a PVC cutter to cut the pipe (a hand saw could be used if you do not have the PVC cutter) and a rubber mallet (hammer) to make sure the corner fittings were tight, and of course a tape measure.
UPDATE!!!!! (Nov. 13, 2011)
A few of my personal friends have sent very specific construction questions that many of you may also be asking so I will attempt to answer them with the following hand drawn "plans".
The 4 squiggily lines represent the pvc that arches over as the "roof"
This drawing shows the locations of the "roof" fittings.
Also shown are the two feeder supports, 2 pvc pieces with the 4 way fittings on the bottom that hang down from the top. (see photo above with the feeder)
PLEASE note that the pipe lengths are approximate. You will have to take into account the space where the fittings and pipes connect. (a 4 foot pipe will be shy of 4 feet by a bit to compensate)
Another point to mention is the center cross bar on the bottom. I used one "T" pointing up for the arch and right on top of that is a "T" facing toward the center of the pen on both sides to hold the cross bar.
Hope this helps.
This project has been very succesful so far! I have 3 beds already cleaned up and looking great! Not only do the chickens get extra "greens" by eating all the weeds, the time freed up by not having to weed has enabled me to complete a few other chores.
Hello Angela and Matt!!! This project has been the most fruitful of all my adventures. Usually this time of year I am dodging rainstorms trying to get out and keep the weeds down, this year I just look out the window and smile. Hours and hours of labor saved, oh I simply love it!
They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.
Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.

Death Match 18 - our biggest ever! World's best woman, GM Judit Polgar, takes on former World Championship Runner-Up GM Nigel Short. More than 2700 viewers watched as the two titans of chess played 28 games over the three-hour marathon. This opening segment includes interviews and the 5+1 portion, which ended 4-3 for Polgar. | Watch video
The scene: Amsterdam, 1989. A grandmaster-in-waiting cuts his teeth against some of Europe's best players. Our protagonist? GM Ben Finegold, who was just a wee lad back then. He begins his series on his youthful encounters by showing his universal style and "proclivity for rook lifts." Finegold also explains co-linear moves, which are among the hardest to find. Join Finegold on his most excellent adventure! | Watch video
In the bullet portion of Death Match 18, GM Judit Polgar tries to protect her lead against GM Nigel Short. He misses mate in one in the second one-minute game, recovers to go on a few mini-runs, but ultimately is unable to mount a successful comeback. Polgar wins the final two games to win the segment and the match, 17.5-10.5. Stay until the end, where you'll hear both players discuss the match. | Watch video
Going for opposite colored bishops out of the opening? Why not? GM Bojkov concludes his series by showing that many openings have this as a possibility, and if you know what you're doing, you can still fight for the win. He goes in depth with a fine win by Spasov, who shows elements of Spassky and Karpov - maybe that's how he got his name!? | Watch video
The group of players in the 2-5 positions in the world rankings keeps shuffling, flipping and turning over. What's been consistent is the man at the top - GM Magnus Carlsen. Today FM Kavutskiy shows how he handles Queen's Gambit positions against the current number three and number four. It seems no matter who Carlsen faces, he does his same slow buildup, and maximizes his piece activity before breaking through. It's not Tal, but no one can doubt it's effective. | Watch video
The Wednesday commentators, IM Greg Shahade and IM John Bartholomew, are back with the second day of Week 6 action in the USCL. Two other gems from the Black pieces occurred - IM Larry Remlinger's sparking exchange sacrifice for long-term compensation, and IM Vitaly Neimer's counterblow to open up the dark squares. Both were nominated for Game of the Week. | Watch video
Is it a defensive effort or a brilliant counterattack? Either way, GM Joel Benjamin wins another Game of the Week (and Move of the Week!). After the obliteration of his king's safety, Benjamin shirks his monarch's protection and uncorks the shocking ...b3! White was then back on his heels and missed chances to equalize. Stick around until the end, when Yermo talks about playing chess with your pants down! | Watch video
WGM Abrahamyan continues to divulge all of her French secrets! Today she expands upon her great series by showing the "annoying" Tarrasch - 3. Nd2. She focuses on the 3...Be7 system, where White has a few satisfactory replies including clarifying the center right away with 4. e5. Many pawn structures are possible, and Abrahamyan shows how the hanging pawns can give Black an edge. | Watch video
Week 6 in the USCL, hosted by the regular Tuesday commentators FM Mike Klein and GM Alex Yermolinsky. Among the exciting games, you'll see the blistering attack of GM Tamaz Gelashvili, who easily won Game of the Week for his knight sacrifice that blew open IM Marc Esserman's center. | Watch video
IM Danny Rensch takes a gallop through the packed week of USCL games, starting with two games in which pieces try to fight against queens. You'll learn how to convert the subtly-difficult queen versus rook ending. From there, he strolls over to the Games of the Week, finishing with the mind-boggling tactics of Schneider-Benjamin. Defense pays too as the grandmaster shows us! | Watch video

Eden State Emergency Services had 19 call outs, with 17 elsewhere in the shire, after strong winds brought down trees on Friday and Saturday.
SES controller John Lacey said Eden's volunteers were needed to use chainsaws to cut fallen trees at Tura Beach and Merimbula.
"It was a very busy couple of days with a lot of work by a small group of people," he said.
"We could always do with more help in the SES."
Motorists heading south on Friday were urged to travel with caution after falling trees closed the Princes Highway and impacted a car between Genoa and Orbost for several hours.
Wind damage also temporarily closed the Monaro Highway in Victoria.
At Bredbo near Cooma, winds of up to 90 kilometres an hour tore the roof off the historic Bredbo Inn and brought down power lines.
Manager Mary Bligh and her partner were the only occupants when the roof blew off of the pub's accommodation section and with help from the township they had the bar and bistro back in business by Saturday.
Cocora playground amenities remain without a roof after a similar weather event in June this year.
Council asset manager Richard Cunningham said designs were being finalised and building could begin in the next four weeks.
"We don't want to lose the new roof so we're making some minor adjustments to a pitched roof that will blend in better with existing buildings there," he said.

Baby Quasar
Phototherapy Device for Home Use 1 ea
Healthy Skin for Life
Sequential Pulsing Technology:
Brings maximum benefit to various skin types Widely acclaimed as the best all around skin care tool for healthy and beautiful skin, the Baby Quasar is bringing the spa home. Using both Red and Amber light (632nm-660nm), it has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Red and Amber also help promote Fibroblasts and the production of collagen. This provides Baby Quasar users with long lasting results. Near Infrared light (880-950) penetrates more deeply stimulating blood flow and circulation. This is the foundation of healthy looking skin. No other skin care tool can claim such a wide variety of benefits. Based on the hugely successful professional line of equipment, the Baby Quasar brings the exact same technology to the home user. Skin Care - The Baby Quasar's effect on skin depends to some extent on genetics and the amount of skin damage. How much light the skin needs and how frequently you do the treatment, therefore, depends on your skin. Generally, you will treat your skin every third or fourth day for about six weeks to achieve maximum benefit. Some will treat more frequently. If you notice skin dryness, you are over treating and should back off.
Quasars are durable long lasting devices Made in the USA |

Hard drive prices refuse to budge after last year's floods that struck manufacturing facilities in Thailand, even as manufacturers turn record profit. The solid-state drive market, on the other hand, is finally rolling with competition, high volume production, and advancements in NAND flash technologies. With memory majors such as Hynix adding new NAND flash manufacturing facilities to their infrastructure, SSD is expected to finally get its big break in the mainstream market. SSD prices, according to price aggregators, are on a free-fall. Models which once held relative pricing as high as $2 per gigabyte, and going deep within the $1 mark. For example, Crucial's widely-praised M4 256 GB SSD has a price per GB of 'just' $0.82, and a market price around $200, something unheard of, for a 256 GB SSD with transfer rates of over 500 MB/s. With SSD major OCZ Technology releasing new generations of drives under the Vertex 4 and Agility 4 series that use Indilinx processors, older Vertex 3 and Agility 3 models are being phased out, some of these are seeing sub $1/GB prices. Intel is also responding to market trends, with prices of its SSD 520 series dropping sharply. Find a boat-load of stats at the source. Source: The TechReport
Excellent, these are starting to come down into the mainstream arena. A 256gb drive would do nicely for an OS and a few games.
agreed, I wont use anything less than 200GB for my OS and stuff. Thats the only reason i havent bought one yet as the prices for 200GB+ SSDs were pricey for the last cpl of years. I think I may finally get one this fall/winter.
So, does this mean that after hitting rock bottom prices (supposedly soon), they will start rising twice as fast because they were excessively low? (Remember the 2010 DDR2 bubble?)
Despite owning 2 120Gb SSDs I'd noticed how the prices were making me ponder buying a single 240GB drive when I build my new build. Hope it continues!
No, compare it to memory as a whole. ie one would easily pay €100-€200 for 512MB modules in the past. Prices went down and capacity went up. You now get 4GB modules for €25. The fact that it moved from SDR to DDR to DDR2 and then DDR3 isn't relevant. Memory became cheaper, as does storage in SSD form. The only difference is that interfaces for storage are mostly backwards compatible, memory isn't. I guess the minimum price will eventually stagnate due to production costs, personnel, shipping, etc but capacity will keep increasing thus price per GB will drop.
Anything that means cheaper prices for us (and sticks it to the greedy HDD manufacturers) is awesome news. I can't wait for them [HDD manufacturers] to start seeing their "record profits" evaporating as more and more people turn to SSD.
the crucial M4's are just amazing bang for buck. Not as fast as the sandforce 2281 drives but its still makes my pc go like a rocket none the less.
WTB Crucial m4 256GB in Europe for cheap, any ideas? Looks like this sweet 200$ deal is only availble in US so far
Give me 256Gb for $100 and i'll go for it...until then, no thanks. And I'm still not convinced of their reliability, many forums i visit seem full of people having problems with them.
those with issues are usually the loudest. meanwhile the ones having no issues are happily treading and enjoying their fast read speeds
Thanks for the reply, but its still like 60$ more than in US, which is quite a bit, considering the drive is 200$... European Amazon(s) wont price match :shadedshu
There's this thing called VAT, you know... 256Gb for $100? No problem. 256GB for $100? Not gonna happen. You might as well wish for a $500 GTX 690. And their reliability is just fine. Apart from some shoddy products (mainly from OCZ) there's not really a problem with reliability. And you can't really compare low speeds and the occasional BSOD with full HDD failure.
People used to say the same things with platter drives... And I have no doubt that years from now, there will be GPU faster than GTX690 for less than $500. It's just a matter of time.
I've seen 256GB SSD's (Samsung 830) for around 150 bucks. I've got only Crucial M4 128GB 3-4 months ago for such price...
Amen to this, I would love to find a 512+ at a great price, a perfect game drive. You talking $150 for a new 256 830? I havent seen that kind of price ever, but Man if that's true I overpayed most definitely!
Considering 256GB drives were $300 6-weeks ago, and now they are $170, I would say in the next year or so we'll see them at $100. I guess they are getting the manufacturing process down.

Vine-ally, a simple solution to expanding your gardens without having to break large areas of ground—or even a sweat. All you have to do is think up rather than out and let climbing vines do the rest.
Vines pack a visual punch that will hit you square between the eyes. These plants give your garden new dimension, add vibrant color to your landscape and are a practical problem solver for many unsightly situations.
Looking to hide the trash cans on the side of your house? Let a vine climb a trellis strategically placed in front of them. Want to blend your chain-link fence into the landscape? A nice flowering vine will give it a natural look without sacrificing function. Have a stump that's too expensive to remove and too big to take out yourself? Plant a vine—it's nature's camouflage. Running out of planting space? Go vertical!
There are plenty of other reasons to select vines for your landscape. Early-blooming sweet peas chase away the chill of winter...Virginia creeper adds beautiful fall color...trumpet vine invites hummingbirds...and grapes are a favorite nesting and feeding site for northern cardinals.
But before charging off to the nearest nursery or garden center to pick out the first vine that comes to mind, it's best to plan before you purchase.
There are so many vines to choose from, it would be impossible to list them all. However, all vines fall into one of three groups—annuals, perennials or woody vines.
Annuals, such as cypress vine, grow from seed each year. Perennials, like passionflower, die to the ground in winter, but sprout again in spring from the same roots. Woody vines, like wisteria, stand all year.
"One clever gardening trick is to mix annual vines with woody vines," says plant expert and contributing editor Melinda Myers. "Initially, woody vines don't grow very fast. So the annual vines can provide more immediate cover and color.
"It's fun to mix different vines together, such as clematis planted near a climbing rose," she adds. "Together they really brighten up a yard."
Most landscape vines grow upward, so it's important to understand how they climb and what types of support structures best suit their needs.
Some vines, such as honeysuckle, twine their way up, wrapping around and around as they grow. Others, like passionflower, send out tendrils to grab on. Some, such as climbing hydrangea, have aerial roots, while Virginia creeper and others use hold fasts that serve as natural suction cups.
A lightweight trellis is perfect for the twisting vines of clematis, but no match for a vigorous climbing rose (right), which is more suited to a heavier arbor.
If you're a fan of the dangling purple clusters of a blooming wisteria, make sure you have a Herculean structure to support its incredible weight. We're talking major timbers that are located well away from your house, so the vigorous vine doesn't wreak havoc on rain gutters and downspouts.
Any of the clinging vines, like Boston ivy, are perfect plants to green-up brick walls. But be careful if you have a wooden house. Your siding could rot from the trapped moisture, and many of the hold fasts are so strong they can damage the wood.
Elaborate structures are not necessary for planting vines in your backyard. Annuals, like morning glories, are the perfect answer for flimsy fences and lightweight arbors. In fact, they'll even grow on netting or strings.
"My husband, Jim, stretches strong cord diagonally from the ground to the top of our wraparound porch," says Angela Griffin Hatchett of Altoona, Alabama. "Then he crisscrosses it going the other way, giving the morning glories plenty of support as they reach toward the sun."
Vines also are great plants to enjoy with kids because many grow extremely fast. Make a simple tepee from bamboo poles and let scarlet runner beans cover it for a neat summer hideout.
And if you're not a builder, a simple 4 x 4 post in the middle of a perennial garden is enough to provide a vertical break to your landscape. Just anchor it and stagger a few nails every 6 to 8 inches, so the vine has something to hang onto.

Holidays -- time forgiving and also the perfect time to remember those who have sacrificed for our country.
That wouldn't warrior project lend a helping hand injured soldiers returning from war joining us now.
Donnelly -- -- staff to the wounded warrior project and Dustin Constantine when you were and number of the organization's board of directors welcome to both great to have you here thank you.
And how much I don't wanna start with you give this to sort of an overview about what wounded -- -- us.
Well I'm happy to do and thank you for giving us the opportunity to be on on television with you we have eighteen direct programs that we provide direct support to wounded warriors your round.
I don't think we have the time to talk about all they can insulate I'd like to do is to say that each of these programs is consistent with our mission to honor and empower won't -- -- And it's also consistent with the promise we make every American right to check large -- small that we will spend their money wisely and they can trust what we do with their money.
A rating programs -- divided into four major areas engagement mind body and economic empowerment.
Engagement is.
Pretty much what it sounds like and we -- we engage with warriors initially -- one of three places bedside at the hospital.
On campus.
Or in the transition units.
And we can engage -- with our iconic backpack or at any kind of an event the barbecue for families things like that.
Once we have them register with us every program we have this is absolutely no cost two -- we never asked the -- for any money.
We asked them to stay with us for as long as they'd like ideally for the rest of their lives and our engagement we focus on mental health.
So we have weekend retreats for -- warriors for spouses.
We have weekend retreats for their caregivers.
And that care extends all the way through to the point where we -- work with the Culinary Institute of America on healthy living.
We have cycling events to give them -- healthy lifestyle.
And then in addition to that.
We try to work with them on their transition to civilian life.
To get a good job to become a good productive citizen.
And to move on with goals aspirations and dreams.
Of late we we have a couple of issues like to mention if you don't mind.
We've partnered with operation homefront which is an organization whose mission is to provide financial emergency financial assistance to individuals.
This is an area we had not gotten into directly.
But the partnership with operation home front especially at this time of year will enable warriors who need financial assistance to take advantage of that.
And we do have a very active grants program we have the window is open for people to apply for grants.
And it's for organizations that have activities are consistent with our mission and our values.
But might be in in locations or in venues where we are not currently located so anybody who -- represents an organization whose interest -- that should go to war website.
And and explore that opportunity -- well.
It sounds like a very holistic approach on many fronts and Justin for -- the experience has been very personal tell us about that.
Well that it has -- that.
How I've -- -- -- -- beginning that if it's on the programs and John talked about ten shooting gauged him when I.
Have I want my surgeries I was impatient -- so I came back.
And me and my wife and I saw there was a teacher there front and went nowhere project.
And -- -- hadn't heard of them but I was really.
Move it back to something I didn't know that you're trying to come visit me -- -- it's still out there in America people -- how we were doing.
And our coverage and so I feel how to -- that teacher regularly are going to -- -- very therapeutic actually -- Blair met.
The person who lost their -- had a chance to thank him.
And -- also his -- on the bike -- John talked about golf outings.
Another my wife my -- was.
-- round to nowhere project called restore which is a series of webinars to help others with posttraumatic stress.
And there are -- we -- learn -- their caregivers who help without.
And I was hanging out wards across the country is an access to see where she kept us that we have -- overcoming post traumatic stress -- when it.
You have a lot to me it was very emotional filming actually -- -- too hard and not knowing where helping so many -- across country.
We know -- and physical of -- psychological and the vocational getting people back to work and a website is at the air because that's the biggest question we get from our viewers they wanna help out.
