High Exchange Rate
Matheus Pinto comes to U.S. for new experiences, finds success in the pool
Newton senior Matheus Pinto was simply looking for a student exchange program to help him see the world.
Little did he know, but during his time in Newton, he would also see his name go into the Newton swimming record books. And with the swimming postseason just around the corner, there's a good chance he could be bring a few extra souvenirs home.
Pinto, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, has made a significant impact on the Cardinal swimming program since his arrival in August. Not only is he expected to make some waves at the state meet in February, but he is also now considering a long-term stay in the U.S. to continue what he has started in the pool.
"Going abroad was something I always wanted to do to see new things and have new experiences," Pinto said. "That's why I'm doing this."
Since arriving to town, Pinto has experienced both the dry heat of an Iowa summer and some of the worst weather an Iowa winter can provide. Unlike the rest of us, however, his relationship with snow is a little bit more friendly.
"It's funny, because that's the first time I've ever seen snow," Pinto said. "I really enjoyed that."
Changes in weather obviously have had no effect on Pinto in the pool, as he was part of a record-breaking 200-yard freestyle relay along with teammates Luke Norcross, Ryan Jolivette and Austin Bunker in the team's first meet of the season. Since then, he has also grabbed records in the 50 freestyle and the 100 breaststroke and remains undefeated in dual meet races.
While Pinto's arrival on the team just kind of happened one day, there was plenty of buildup after members of the team received word on exactly what he could do in the pool
"I had heard rumors before the season started that we were going to have this foreign exchange student," Newton coach Dave Hook said. "We've had them before and they've always been nice and some have been pretty good swimmers, but I was hearing that this one was really good. He's just been phenomenal in his work ethic and what he's brought to the team."
Despite his skill level and what he's been able to do in the water, Pinto describes being a leader as a difficult task due to his short time with the team. He does, however, try his best to speak up in pre-meet meeetings and help his teammates with technical aspects during meets. He also admitted to not knowing English very well when he got here, but swimming has certainly helped him in that respect.
"He's kind of led by his swimming, really," Hook said. "He's not too vocal of a guy and he's pretty quiet. You could almost call it humble, but he's kind of let the other guys keep that role."
Pinto's stay in Newton has made one particular impact on him — the desire to stay in the U.S. to swim at the collegiate level. It was more of a recent decision and he's just now starting the process of looking for schools, but Hook has no doubts that he'll be able to land at a school to continue his swimming career.

Obama Taking 23 Actions Aimed at Gun Violence
Posted at: 01/16/2013 11:08 AM
| Updated at: 01/16/2013 5:54 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is taking 23 executive actions aimed at curbing gun violence that don't require congressional action, including measures to encourage schools to hire police officers, increase research on gun violence and improve efforts to prosecute gun crime.
The executive actions are part of an overarching package assembled by a task force led by Vice President Joe Biden. The measures come a month after the mass shooting in Newtown, Ct., that killed 20 elementary school children.
Obama is directing the Centers for Disease Control to research gun violence and is seeking rules to ensure that law enforcement conducts background checks before returning seized firearms.
He intends to nominate Todd Jones as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Jones is the agency's acting director.
RELATED STORY: Obama Unveils $500 million Gun Violence Package
Proposals for curbing gun violence announced Wednesday by President Barack Obama:
- Requiring background checks on all gun sales. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says 40 percent of gun sales are conducted with no criminal background check, such as at gun shows and by private sellers over the Internet or through classified ads. Obama said there should be exceptions for cases like certain transfers among family members and temporary transfers for hunting purposes.
- Reinstating the assault weapons ban. A 10-year ban on high-grade, military-style weapons expired in 2004. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., says such a ban might clear the Senate but doubts it could get through the House.
- Renewing a 10-round limit on the size of ammunition magazines.
- Prohibiting the possession, transfer, manufacture and import of dangerous armor-piercing bullets.
- Senate confirmation of a director for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The agency has been run by an acting director, Todd Jones, whom Obama will nominate to become director.
- New gun trafficking laws penalizing people who help criminals get guns.
- Address legal barriers in health laws that bar some states from making available information about people who are prohibited from having guns.
- Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.
- Make sure that federal agencies share relevant information with the background check system.
- Direct the attorney general to work with other agencies to review existing laws to make sure they can identify individuals who shouldn't have access to guns.
- Direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other research agencies to conduct research into the causes and prevention of gun violence.
- Clarify that no federal law prohibits doctors or other health care providers from contacting authorities when patients threaten to use violence.
- Give local communities the opportunity to hire up to 1,000 school resource officers and counselors.
- Require federal law enforcement to trace all recovered guns.
- Propose regulations that will enable law enforcement to run complete background checks before returning firearms that have been seized.
- Direct the Justice Department to analyze information on lost and stolen guns and make that information available to law enforcement.
- Provide training for state and local law enforcement, first responders and school officials on how to handle active-shooter situations.
- Make sure every school has a comprehensive emergency management plan.
- Help ensure that young people get needed mental health treatment.
- Ensure that health insurance plans cover mental health benefits.
- Encourage development of new technology to make it easier for gun owners to safely use and store their guns.
- Have the Consumer Product Safety Commission assess the need for new safety standards for gun locks and gun safes.
- Launch a national campaign about responsible gun ownership.

REVIEWS FOR LIGNE 185001 (Total of 1 reviews) Average Rating: 5
Rating: 5.0By Bob from MA. (Saturday, March 17, 2012)
Beautiful rug - outstanding quality. However, the picture color is not even close to the real thing. The picture shows as a pale green, even though the color is listed as "Ivory". I had seen this rug in several pictures on the manufacturer's own website, so I took a chance that Ivory did not mean Green. RugsUSA should find a new image immediately, as the image they use is flat out WRONG. Finally, the rug is more of a multi-toned light greyish-beige with ivory highlights. It works fine where I have it at home, but be aware it is only part ivory.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

Thankful for Thanksgiving
Jay Conner, a second-grade student at Ohio Grade School, takes a relaxed pose for the annual Thanksgiving feast at the school. This year, all 12 grades and their teachers shared a meal at in the auditorium, which had been decorated in the Thanksgiving theme. In keeping with the theme, the younger students wore their Indian and Colonial hats. As a new twist this year, each grade school student was paired with his/her "reading buddy" for the meal. Superintendent Sharon Sweger said the Reading Buddies program was implemented this year and matches a high school student with a grade school student for a monthly reading time together.

JACKSON (AP) -- A Jackson woman found last year in Joliet, Ill., with no memories about herself now remembers too much.
The woman walked up to a police officer in Joliet last May and said she didn't know her name, where she was or how she had gotten there.
She was Amber Gerweck, a secretary who had disappeared three weeks earlier.
Gerweck was diagnosed with amnesia.
In the past few months, Gerweck's memories have come flooding back.
Instead of relief, however, The Detroit News reports (http://bit.ly/KihUCX) they have brought on a new source of anxiety.
The 33-year-old Gerweck tells the newspaper for a story Saturday she's remembering some harsh truths about herself, things so painful they may have brought about the amnesia.

by the way, this would HAVE to be printed on brown. it looks so smooth.
on April 14, 2005
simply awesome.
I didn't want it before but you've convinced me otherwise!
by the way, this would HAVE to be printed on brown. it looks so smooth.
omg awesome, deff. a lot better, creates great eye movement now!
This shirt is definitely eye candy. Lovely use of colors.
Much better resub. I must go fly a kite now.
Very nice. I really like it on the chocolate shirt.
I actually like the khaki shirt, though the brown is good. Can I say I love the way you presented this. Very nice.
Now back to the office to live this image...
actually, i really like it with the kite string curved like in the girls example! great work :)
This shirt would look hot on a woman. Not so great for a guy because we're eithervery flat or a little big in the tummy (wrong place for emphasis on us in both cases).
Still, I have to give a 5-- it's a great idea and it would make a great T for a lady.
I prefer the curving string. The curve seems more playful. The taught string looks rigid and hardly contrasting from the "rigid" work environment
Love it!!!!!!!
i would buy this is a heartbeat. i'm not even kidding.
awesome job! 5 + buy
umm, i think(and I could be wrong here), that the string in the girls design is supposed to be contouring with the girls pose. It's drawn to look like it would on a shirt, with someone wearing it, standing like that. I do agree that the curving one looks nice, but I don't think it was intentional. Artist, what say ye?
i wish the office space were a more linear design. not huge on the curlies either, or at least not so many. still an awesome shirt, though. i totally understand the feeling, too.
I like this, but not with the roof.
i do like...
Dark brown = awesome.
it probably isn't necessary to make the string curve, since it will curve naturally when you wear the shirt. :)
nice job.
oh dear this is AMAZING
Yes, much better this time. 5 and buy.
i don't leave comments but i have found true love.
Love the colors and the design. Amazing!
ooooooooh i adore it! adore! adore! adore!
i love this.
You've presented this so nicely...I think I want a shirt with the entire image, figures and all!
I know the string only looks like it would curve on the girl's shirt, but I think it really should curve a bit. It would be the finishing touch to an otherwise perfect design. Love it.
please tell me this is getting printed cuz i want it so bad so amazing dude
like it!
this needs to be printed so badly
i would like it if it was just kite and no building. its really pretty color. i like the pink on the brown

Bid on a Piece of New York History, Tavern On The Green Auction Planned
Famed Central Park restaurant Tavern on the Green, with its six elaborate dining rooms and 10 miles of white Christmas lights wrapping trees out front, will sadly twinkle no longer. The restaurant is closing its doors for good on Dec. 31, when its operating license expires. That New Year's Eve party will be one for the ages, but hopefully revelers won't be too destructive - the restaurant's ornate decorative objects are being auctioned off a few weeks later.
Tavern on the Green is a Central Park landmark dating back to 1934, when Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia opened it. In 1974 it was reopened after a $10 million renovation by the colorful LeRoy family, who still own it today. The LeRoys filed for bankruptcy after the city didn't renew their operating license.
Current manager, Jennifer Oz LeRoy, is named in honor of her showman grandfather, Mervyn LeRoy, who was a producer of The Wizard of Oz. Perhaps as a way to seal the restaurant in history, Jennifer, along with Kay LeRoy, have written a 300-page book about the restaurant's history, including recipes.
Guernsey's Auction House is handling the sale, which includes decorative items from the 25,000-square-foot restaurant. Previews take place Wednesday, Jan. 6 through Tuesday, Jan. 12, noon to 8 p.m. each day. The public auction is Jan. 13-14 with 1 p.m. afternoon sessions and 6 p.m. evening sessions each day. The auction will take place in the Tavern's Crystal Room at 67th Street and Central Park West.
Some of the items being auctioned include:
- Antique Tiffany stained-glass lamp shades
- large, art nouveau mirrors, etched glass and Venetian glass
- Baccarat crystal chandeliers
- copper weathervanes
- stone sculpture
- garden furniture
- Japanese lanterns
- china place settings, silverware, glassware and linens
- canvas murals from the walls
- holiday decorations
- outdoor topiaries

School lunch doesn't have to be the most boring meal of the day. Light up your lunchtime by trying these five fresh, crunchy, creamy, yummy lunches. You'll need some help from an adult with the cutting, heating, and use of a food processor. But you can do many of the steps, so get cooking!
Got leftover chicken or turkey? This Garden Chicken Wrap is perfect for you. Add the meat to your favorite greens and veggies. Then top with a little dressing for extra yum.
Mmmmmmmm....pizzadillas! This is like pizza but you dunk your slices in the sauce. You can eat this one warm for dinner and take the leftovers the next day for lunch.
What's quinoa? Quinoa (say: keen-wah) is an alternative to pasta and rice. It has a lot of protein, a hearty texture, and a nutty flavor. It can be eaten hot or cold, as in this quick dish, Confetti Quinoa. This recipe calls for frozen veggies, but feel free to use fresh if you prefer. Just saute them until tender crisp and add to cooked quinoa.
Cool as a cucumber, that's what these Cream Cheesy Cucumber Sandwiches are. You can find different varieties of cucumbers at the grocery store or farmer's market. Or if you're not in a cucumber mood, substitute with thin slices of raw zucchini.
Take chips and dip to a whole new level with Lean Green Pita Dippers. First, you make your own crunchy pita chips. Then you dip them in this cool, creamy green dip. Will you share with other people at the lunch table? Probably not.

TAFT, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say a boy who fired on classmates and wounded one at a rural California high school had planned the attack and targeted students he felt had bullied him for more than a year.
Kern County sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a news conference Thursday night that the 16-year-old used a shotgun that belonged to his brother and went to bed Wednesday night with a plan to shoot two fellow students.
Youngblood says surveillance video shows the boy trying to conceal the gun as he nervously enters Taft Union High School through a side entrance after school had started Thursday morning.
The boy entered his classroom, shot and critically injured one student, then fired on others before a teacher and another staff member talked him into surrendering.

You have no favorite boards.
I'd keep him.
Pros to keep him:
-You have a young QB that needs help.
-We have the cap space to keep him plus add the players we need
-He can improve his effectiveness if we fix the o-line
-letting him go with open up yet another hole that will need to be fixed on this team.....at least in keeping him the hole is filled......and it would be filled by a questionmark
-CJ is proven and durable. Even his down yrs he has been more effective as other teams starters.
I'd ride him out. Use him to help rebuild this team and foster a young QB. Then let him go later on.

LONDON — As the cameras flashed and the night sky lit up, Usain Bolt sprinted by his competitors. He kept running, screeching past the history books, lapping the sport's icons and leaving the bar-stool debates in his dust. It really didn't matter what numbers appeared on the stopwatch at the conclusion of one of the memorable races in Olympic history, and it didn't matter that 80,000 witnesses spilled into the London streets in stunned amazement.
The Unbelievable Usain Bolt Show at these Olympics was never intended to be a one-night engagement.

Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet
goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends
so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine
and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to
health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals
are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very
special to them, who had to be left behind. they all run and play together, but
the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright
eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he begins to run
from the group flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend
finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head,
and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from
your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together……..

If you would like more information on the services we offer or
if you have any questions, please call our clinic at 416-752-6048 or click here.
Pre-Planning for your Pet's Aftercare
Pre-planning your pet's aftercare allows you to know that everything will be
taken care of when the time comes. It also means that when the time arrives, you
won't have to make these dicisions while your grieving.
When pre-planning for this, you may find it is easier to discuss the details
with your family members as well. If your pet is a senior now, it makes it a
little easier for a child to understand that death is coming than to have to
explain if their pet died unexpectedly. Discuss with all family members whether
they feel that burial or cremation is right for your pet.
There are
several pet crematoriums in Ontario, that can have your pet cremated
individually. Their ashes would be returned to you, in an urn of your choosing.
This allows you to spread your pet's ashes if you wish. There are collumbariums
located in Ontario where you can purchase a niche in a wall as a final resting
place for your pet's urn.
There are also several Pet Cemeteries in Ontario. Private burials and
funerals are performed and, according to your wishes, arrangments can be made to
add a spritual aspect to the service in respect to your beliefs. Caskets,
plaques and head stones are also available.
Your pet will be treated with dignity and respect whether or not you choose
to have your pets remains returned to you. If you decide on a communal
cremation, your pet will be taken to Ancaster Pet Cemetery where your pet's
final resting place will be marked by a Memorial.
cremations include your choice of three urns, or you may select an urn of your
choosing from a large selection provided by Gateway Pet
Memorial. Candle urns, photo urns and etching are also available.
Peartree Studio Pawprints
Peartree Studio makes beautiful keepsakes of your pet. We take an impression
of your pets paw send it to the studio, where it is fired and hand- painted by
Artisans in the colour of your choice. A small surcharge applies for custom
colour and designs.
Hair Lock
A lock of hair
is lovingly removed from your pet and placed in a tasteful card as a keepsake
for you and your family. This complimentary service is done by request only.
When It's Time to Say Good-bye
We are never quite prepared for the loss of a pet. Whether death is swift and
unexpected or whether it comes at the end of a slow decline, few of us are fully
aware of what a pet means to our lives until out companion is gone.
Our involvement with the final outcome may be passive. We may simply decide
not to pursue medical or surgical treatment for an aging pet. Perhaps the
ailment is incurable and the best we can do is to alleviate some of the
suffering so that the remainder of the pet's days are spent in relative comfort.
At the other extreme, an illness or accident may take a pet suddenly.
Everyone privately hopes their pet will have a peaceful passing when their
time arrives. However, the impact of a pet's death is significantly increased
when we face the most difficult decision a pet owner can make: to have a
pet euthanized.
Veterinarians do not exercise this option lightly. Their medical training and
professional lives are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of disease. And
they are keenly aware of the balance between extending an animal's life
and prolonging its suffering. We need to understand that euthanasia is the
ultimate tool to mercifully end a pet's suffering.
Saying Goodbye
When you are ready, the doctor will administer the injection of the
Euthanasia solution which results in a rapid and painless termination of nerve
impulses and complete muscle relaxation. On occasion, when the muscles relax,
the bowels and/or bladder may void.
Usually within seconds after the solution is injected, the pet will take a
slightly deeper breath, then grow weak and finally lapse into what looks like a
deep sleep.
The pet, although completely unconscious, may continue to take a few more
breaths, may twitch or gasp. These effects are common. The Pet's eyes also
usually remain open.
If you would like, a hair lock can be collected for you as a keepsake.
As pet lovers and owners we understand how devastating it is when we have to
say goodbye.
Reaching the Decision
To help you prepare for the decision to euthanize your pet, consider the
following questions. They are intended only as a guide. Only you can decide what
the best solution is for you and your pet. Take your time as these are not easy
questions to face. Please feel free to discuss this with any of our team
- What is the current quality of my pet's life?
- Is my pet eating well? Are they playful and affectionate towards
me? - Does my pet seem tired and withdrawn mostof the time?
- Is my pet in apparent pain? Is there anything I can do to make them more
comfortable? - Can my pet perform toiletry habits with dignity?
- Are there other treatment options available?
- Is allowing my pet to die at home with the appropritate medications for
comfort an option? - If a behavioural problem has led me to this decision, have I sought the
expertise of a veterinary behavioural consultant? - Do I still love my pet the way I used to, or am I angry and resentful of
the restrictions my pet's condition has placed on my lifestyle?
Speak to all family members regarding this decision. As each family member
shares the caregiving responsibilites for your pet, should eachmember have a say
in the decision to have the pet euthanized. An honest approach is best when
dealing with a child, who also needs to know that his or her feelings and
opinions have been listened to before a pet is put down. Children need time to
say good-bye.
The Euthanasia Process
We create an appointment for you and schedule as much time as you need. We
know that this is a personal experience for everyone and welcome as much or
little involvement as you would like.
We have a quiet, comfortable room that allows a family to spend time with
their pet before and after the euthanasia.
The Doctor will first give the pet a sedative to lessen any stress. We have
an assistant available to help the doctor by providing gentle restraint and
slight pressure on a vein, usually a foreleg, needed for the injection.
Although rare, some pets will vomit after the sedation is given.
Some people choose to bring a toy, blanket or written letter or poem to leave
with their pet. We ensure this is kept with your pet throughout the aftercare
Seniors and Pet Loss
The loss of a much loved companion animal can be especially difficult for
seniors. Often, they have already experienced multiple losses in their lives,
including the deaths of a spouse, relatives, neighbours and long-time friends.
Many seniors experience chronic illness of disabilities that decrease their
mobility, socialization and participation in customary activities. busy lives,
geographic separations and the inability to travel can prevent them from
spending time with family members and friends. All of this can contribute to
isolation, loneliness and a special dependence on the companionship of pets.
In many cases, pets are the most important companions for senior to talk
with, to care for, to get up with each day and to share unconditional love.
Their pets are their family members and best friends. The loss of a beloved pet
can be over whelming to them.
During the time of grieving, seniors can benefit from seeking out others who
are compassionate, sensitive and supportive to their very real and painful loss.
Such support can be critical to the person's recovery from such a significant
They might consider the following as ways to honor their beloved animals:
- Preparation of a tribute such as a scrapbook of the pet's life.
- Writing stories of shared experiences with their pet.
- Making a contribution to an animal organization in the pet's memory.
- Fostering an animal that needs temporary care.
- Attending a pet loss support group.
Children and the Death of a Pet
For many children, the death of their pet is their first experience with
grief and loss. Losing a pet deserves very special attention and adults shouold
not try to hide their sorrow.Talking about the pet afterwards is also wise
because the pet deserves to be remembered as a part of the family and one of the
child's most wonderful friends. A child is prone to certain misconceptions about
the subject of death and is often keenly aware that something is not right with
his or her pet.
When a child experinces the death of a beloved pet, he or she may experience
emotional reactions that can be painful and frightening. Here are several ways
to help children cope with these reactions in a healthy way.
- As parents, recongnize the 5 stages of grief – anger, denial, negotiation,
depression and acceptance. - Find a quiet place where you can talk without interruption. Tell your child
in simple language that their pet has died and what caused the death. If
necessary, explain what the word "death" means. Avoid overloading your child
with details. - Answer all questions truthfully in words chilfren can understand.
Inconsistant or incomplete answers may leave your child more unsettled and upset
than hearing the truth itself. - Encourage the expression of feelings. Children will model their behaviour
after their parents. - Try drawing, writing and talking together about the pet with your child.
- Share your beliefs, hopes and faith about the soul or spirit of pets.
Children younger than five years have difficulty understanding the finality
of death. They may need several explanations, long after the pet is gone, as to
why he or she does not come back. This age group also takes words literally, so
it is best not to use the phrase "put to sleep" with young children. From ages
five to nine, children tend to perceive death as a punishment. They must be
reassured that the pet did not die because of something the parents or they did
or did not do.After age nine, children have a more realistic concept of death
and can understand religious or philosophical ideas about it. participating in a
burial or memorial service for the pet, if possible, can make the child feel
better. As well, you might:
- Create a keepsake box or album with pictures, stories and mementos of the
pet's life. - Light a candle, place fresh flowers and a special framed picture near it.
- Plant a tree or a garden inmemory of the pet.
- Donate money to a favourite charity in memory of the pet.
- Your veterinary staff can help by giving you a lock of their fur as a
keepsake. - Have them take a clay impressionof your pet's paw, painted to match their
Children process their thoughts and feelings by "doing". By helping to guide
your children, you will be giving them an important life tool: a model for how
to say good-bye and a framework for dealing with death and other significant
changes or losses they will experience in the future.

Hotel Village Kyoto Guest Reviews (7)
Very clean hotel. Beautiful facilities and close to rail and bus links. Bit pricey and a little way out of town - but nonetheless an excellent place to stay. The baths were terrific and very well looked after.
Luke FENNELL wrote on December 13, 2010
The staff were very friendly and spoke excellent English. The quality of the finishes and fittings was superb. We had actually booked for the wrong nights, but they just accepted it as a simple mistake! Very good location for most attractions. Overall, a real jewell of a hotel.
Mark Colson wrote on April 22, 2010
The Village Hotel, I guess, is somewhere between a western hotel and a ryokan, as it has an onsen-like bath, with separate facilities for men and women, although you also get a shower in the rooms. For a place that cost me over £200 per night, I was surprised at the lack of facilities on offer. There is no swimming pool and no gym and the breakfast is simply a bento box. I think it was this that I found least appealing, as the choices on offer in the bento boxes left me as a not-enthusiastic eater of eastern food before lunch, with only the western-style box. This contained a breakfast that could have been plane food, although, of course, the eggs and ham/bacon were cold. Breakfasts on a plane are usually to be avoided and so we avoided this breakfast after one attempt and bought our own food from the 7/11 across the way.

With 3 children (11, 10 and 4) we booked a large suite with a bathroom. Although small by western standards, the room was very comfortable. Breakfast was delivered to our doorstep and in individual boxes. Free high speed internet connection. Bedding was Japanese style i.e. tatamis. The hotel is within a short train ride or taxi ride away from most attractions. A good value for the money.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Amazing piece of gear. The tent is roomier than its cohorts with the knee-bend construction giving it a steep sidewall. I feel like I could do a pull-up on the pitched poles. I am excited take this on some extended climbing trips down south this winter.
Great tent, built like a fortress

Overall great tent, it's easiest to set it up with 2 people around, I can't imagine doing it by myself although technically may be possible there are other tents out there with simpler setups. This tent is pretty heavy if you are doing the full setup, however weight can dramatically be reduced if you leave out the shorter reinforcement crossbars. This is a good option if you are going backpacking where weight is a big problem, and you will not need the tent to withstand high winds as in an alpine basecamp situation.

I have an old Bastille II and that has been my all time favorite tent !!!
I also have a MH Trango 3.1... quite stout but also a lot of condensation as compared to my Bastille.. both close to the same dimensions...
what I have not seen anywhere in regards to the Thor is if there is any sort of small vestibule built into the rain fly as in my Bastille, besides the large, poled vestibule side ??
it is perfect for storing shoes, etc in the small space.....

This tent is simply great for Nordic condititions, although a bit heavy to carry aorund for loger movements. The construction is robust (you could almost do pullups on the poles, once built up) but first and foremost it is really SILENT when the wind hits it. The alu-ground-sticks are a bit too weak in my opinion but are fairly easily replaced for a small cost.

Hey I bet this is a bit to late. But Eureka makes a timberline label that is four season. I live in Northern Vermont and have survived a 13 inch snow storm several times in this tent. With sno from Pine trees dropping HUGH snow balls on us and the tent stood strong. And is $300 less than this one. Give Eureka a look.

This thing is heavy, expensive, and looks slow to set up. I'd go with a Hilleberg, check out the Nallo or Kaitum - a little bit more expensive, but IMO the best tents on the market.

I've never used this specific tent, but other marmot tents have worked out well for me in the past. As for the MHW Trangos - super solid and burly and highly recommended.

We took this tent up Denali (successfully) on a May/June expedition. It was spacious on the inside and the dual vestibule made cooking and storing gear convenient. It withstood large, large storms. I recommend it.
This tent rocks!

Awesome tent! Did everything I wanted lake side camping. Very easy to set up and quick to take down. Perfect for the every season camper.

Two multi-wall vents in the ceiling allow for temperature/moisture control.
Gear Pockets

These pockets are on both sides of the tent. You can also see the reinforced stake points in the tent floor/walls. Stake this baby in and hunker down without worry.

A Tent Fit For The Gods

Thor is a completely appropriate name for this tent. Not only is it fun to say to your friends and makes you feel more manly "I'm bustin out the THOR" but the tent truly is a beast. Admittedly I have not put this tent through Denali summit-like weather yet like its meant to take, but have never had a problem with it ever. Once this thing is staked down (at the like 10 main stake points) a nuke would bounce right off of it. Also, there are so many fly adjustments and guy wires you can set this thing up quick and just prepare for rain, or you can take time and tweak every part of the fly to account for uneven terrain and/or snow drifts. The poles also attach with a clip to the staking tabs so a severe wind removing the poles from their eyelits will not compromise the structural integrity of the tent.Initial setup is a tad confusing although I successfully did it without looking at the directions, but once you get the first time figured out its a breeze in the future.
The interior is very roomy both floor and ceiling wise. I didnt feel at all cramped in there or claustrophobic which can happen with my backpacking tent. It has two super nice vents to avoid clamyness as well. The vents have multiple layers, so you can just open the interior exposing the bug net or you can then open the bug net and pop out the little chimney shoots in the fly for a vent directly outside. There are also pockets built into the tent walls down each side of the tent wall and many loops and gromits to add more gear lofts, etc to the top. Vestibule is also substancial for just about anything you would need to do in there in bad weather.
Overall this is my favorite tent I have ever used without taking weight into account. I would use this thing every time I camped if it was just a little lighter to take on my pack everywhere. Truly an amazing 4 season tent.
Easy to find at daytime and night

I love a heavy-duty expedition tent like this for winter camping, be it car camping or trekking. the Marmot poles slide nicely in sleeves, the clips are good. This tent keeps me comfortable in sever weather.

How does the whole thing really work? It's much like a 5K walk or golf fund-raising event. Once an adoptive family or project manager has been approved by Lifesong for Orphans, they enlist the help of their friends and form a team. The team then sends letters out to their contacts asking them to consider a one-day sponsorship as they work on a widow's house. The adoptive family or project manager is responsible for locating a widow in their community who owns her home and but is not in a position to manage its upkeep. Once they have identified a widow and her needs, the team gives local merchants the opportunity to donate supplies for the day. The team then spends a day working on the widow's house. 100% of the money raised goes toward the cause – the cost of the adoption, church adoption fund, or orphan care initiative. Nothing is taken out for the operating expenses of either Lifesong or Both Hands.
At what point in the adoption process can I apply and how long does it take to be approved? Applications are accepted after your home study is completed. The approval process usually takes 8-10 weeks. Through this application you can also apply for an interest free loan and matching grants offered by Lifesong. You can download the application here - http://www.LifesongForOrphans.org/bothHands. If you are only applying for Both Hands and foregoing the opportunity to apply for the loan/match grant, please indicate that on your application so it will be expedited for approval within 2 weeks.
What kinds of projects do you do? We usually recommend finding projects that are labor intensive (landscaping, painting, cleaning, de-cluttering) rather than supply intensive (major construction overhaul). If your team is composed of skilled construction workers with connections likely to yield donations of supplies, then major construction overhauls are more achievable. When is the best time to hold a project? Both Hands projects take place year round (though winter tends to thin the pool of available volunteers). The best time of year really depends on the location of the project and types of projects being completed. How much time does it take to put a project together? After approval, the Both Hands project process usually takes about 6-8 weeks to allow for planning and execution of the project. You can shorten or lengthen that timeline as it works best for you and your team. The critical factor in this process is the quality of your team. Who is responsible for finding the widow's house? Both Hands will help the project manager draw up ideas for places to find a widow in need. Your church's benevolence department or senior ministry may be able to direct you to a widow in need. We have also had luck contacting meal delivery programs. The drivers and program directors can often identify a person in need. How do we get supplies for the project? The supplies for the work on the widow's house are donated by local businesses. After you have assessed the needs for the widow's house, Both Hands will provide you and your team with a letter for merchants who donate. You and your team can then use the letter to gather donated supplies, food, etc. from local businesses. Can money collected from donors be used to pay for supplies for the project? No, all monies donated to the project are administered by Lifesong for Orphans and those funds can only be used for the designated cause. For family projects, more information on what qualifies as adoption-related expenses, please contact Lifesong for Orphans. www.lifesongfororphans.org What are expenses for the entire process? The goal is to have 100% of the supplies donated for the work on the widow's house. That is why we usually encourage our teams to prioritize projects that are labor intensive rather than supply intensive. Cleaning, de-cluttering, landscaping, painting, etc. are examples of a labor intensive project. The printing and postage costs of sending out all the letters should be the only cost to the adopting family. Some projects have even been blessed to have the stamps donated by volunteers. How is money raised? The money is raised through the sponsorship process. Each team member, as part of the team, is asked to send a letter (written for them by the project manager) to their entire list of contacts. The letter explains the program and gives people the opportunity to sponsor them as a worker for the day. The tax-deductable gift is sent to the adoptive family's or designated cause's account with Lifesong for Orphans. Can we use social media outlets instead of sending out snail mail letters? The old fashion way of sending out letters first has proved the most effective initial contact to donors. You can use social media as an additional tool to promote your project. We have discovered that most people require 3-4 impressions before they react or move into action. We recommend that team members send out the fundraising letter via snail mail, then follow up within a week to check to see if they received the letter over the phone and/or via email (with an attached digital version). Then after the project, follow up again via email with the link to the video created after the project.
What if volunteers only want to work on the widow's house, but not fundraise? This is a BOTH Hands project—one hand for the widow and one hand for the orphan. Without raising sponsorship for the day of work it becomes a ONE hand project. The second hand, for the orphan, also needs to be served. You have to decide how you are going to handle this with your team. If you have a key worker who is experienced in construction and he/she is organizing the whole project, then it would probably be prudent to be content with that person not sending letters. Their contribution is their talent and organizational skills. Keep in mind, if you continually let people on the team with no commitment to sending letters out, the funds you raise will be affected.
Who is Lifesong for Orphans? Lifesong for Orphans is a ministry that seeks to bring joy and purpose to orphans through adoption funding, global orphan care, church partnership, and foster care outreach. We seek to mobilize the church, His body, where each member can provide a unique and special service: some to adopt, some to care, some to give. In partnership with Both Hands Foundation, Lifesong assists in reviewing family applications and providing administrative support and bookkeeping. To learn more about Lifesong for Orphans, please visit our website: www.lifesongfororphans.org Does Both Hands work with single parents who are adopting? Yes, contingent upon application submission and approval through Lifesong for Orphans. Can I do a Both Hands project for post-adoption fundraising? Generally speaking, no. We have found that once the adoption is complete, the perception is that the goal has been accomplished and there is considerably less enthusiasm among potential team members to ask their friends to sponsor them for a project like this.
Both Hands and Lifesong for Orphans are 501c3 organizations. All donations are tax-deductable.

I feel your pain!
If you figure it out please let us know, I have access to sky go via a friends account, but am forced to watch on an iPad 1 screen.
I'm non jail broken, but if there is a free way to tv out sky go using either my VGA cable or AirPlay I'd be very interested and would happily JB for that sole feature!
Keep at it fella

There is a way with a VGA cable or a HDMI cable. What you need to do is Jailbreak your iPad using Redsn0w then go to Cydia and download xcon version 36 not the latest 37 as this doesn't work yet with sky go, Xcon 36 will be in ModMy.com's repo. This will bypass Sky Go's jailbreak detection. Then you need to go to the BigBoss's repo and download Display Out, i think it costs about £1 - £2 for this but its worth it. Then your all done, plug your iPad into the tv using either a HDMI or VGA adaptor and you will have sky go on your big screen. If you need to buy and an adaptor i would suggest if your tv has a HDMI to get the HDMI adaptor as this streams the picture and the sound together without having to plug your ipad into external speakers if you were to use a VGA.
What im trying to do is the above but without the cabling and using airplay. If i get any further with it or someone can help i post it to this forum. Thanks DJ |

Pray for the Todd familyPosted Tuesday, March 11, 2008, at 7:55 PM
Death comes at an hour and a time that is never known or pre-announced.
A rural Bloomfield family is grieving today after a tragic traffic accident Monday morning that claimed the life of 73-year-old Morris Todd and seriously injured his 66-year-old wife, Judy. The Todd's were traveling about 7:20 a.m. Monday eastbound on State Road 54 -- east of Bloomfield -- when their car was hit head-on by a van driven by the couple''s daughter-in-law, 44-year-old Beth Todd. Police say the collision was an unfortunate tragedy when Beth Todd apparently fell asleep while driving home after working a third shift at a Bloomington pharmaceutical company. She was not seriously hurt. What an uncanny coincidence this accident turned out to be. What do you think are the chances of driving down the road -- falling asleep -- and then running into a car carrying your in-laws? I can't even imagine the mental anguish this ironic accident has caused for the family members involved. At this time the best thing all of us as a community can do is pray that this family finds the understanding of how such a tragedy can occur and we pray they receive strength to go on in wake of this devastating event. May God grant them peace and comfort. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |
