Everything is great except for it being so hard to put up and fold up. When my disabled son or my elderly mother needs it, I don.t have time for it to take so long to put up and down..Good design other than that.
Legs are hard to snap in place and refold.They are also too short.But is does take care of the job.
Sturdy and comfortable. Folding legs look like a good design. Will work for car camping, but not for backpacking, due to its size. Somebody might be able to design a smaller, lighter one using aluminum or titanium for the frame with a light foam pad.
Nice product, worth the price. Folds up conveniently and not heavy to carry with the handle at all. Good quality.

SEAN Willmore has a strong, athletic build and a big grin to go with it. The first of his tattoos I notice, on his left calf, is a Celtic design of intertwined dogs. It's about loyalty, he says. Willmore's loyalty is to park rangers around the world, about 80 of whom are killed each year defending the world's last wild areas and their animal inhabitants.
Willmore is well known. He's been the subject of one Australian Story program and a significant contributor to another a profile of Ben Potts, his roommate on the Sea Shepherd, who jumped aboard a Japanese whaler in Antarctic waters in 2005.
He also received a Royal Humane Society bronze medal for diving into the ocean and trying to save a drowning man off Squeaky Point in 1997.
After resigning his post as a ranger in 2007, he spent a year making a documentary film, The Thin Green Line, which has now been shown in 50 countries. The thin green line is made up of park rangers who protect our remaining wild habitat and its creatures from further depredation.
In 2008, Willmore gave a speech to a group of "millionaires and billionaires" at the Sydney Opera House. He asked those with red stickers on their seats to stand up. He then said, "You haven't won a lucky door prize. That's the number of rangers killed in the Congo over the last 10 years."
He was born at Sale but came to the Melbourne suburb of West Ivanhoe when he was an infant. A lot of his childhood was spent around Darebin Creek. When he was 13, two things happened that were to impact on his life. The first was that he dropped a can as he was walking by the creek and a bloke on a bike stopped and asked him if he knew what he was doing. "The dude wasn't rude to me or anything. He just asked me if I knew that the can was going to end up in the creek."
The other incident happened one day when he was in the local library. Looking towards the city, he saw smog filthy air. That, he says, is when the bubble of his childhood burst. "I saw the adults didn't have a grip on things."
Willmore, who includes a spell as a stand-up comic on his CV, speaks in a sort of semi-humorous slang. As a young man, he wanted to play AFL footy. Collingwood came and had a look at him but he "can't have been good enough". He did a science degree, majoring in botany, and got a job at Scienceworks in Williamstown where he learnt how to present to an audience. He then pestered Parks Victoria until they gave him a job as a ranger. "It was all I ever wanted to do."
He was at an international conference of park rangers in 2003 when a ranger from Malawi showed him the machete wound he had received in the course of his duties. Willmore was taken aback, but not so the Ugandan ranger present. He showed them his bullet wound. Willmore's resolve to take up the cause of park rangers around the world particularly the cause of the families left behind when they are killed helped end his engagement to wed. But it also put him into natural environments around the world with the people who, literally, guard them with their lives.
In the Congo, he went out with an anti-poaching squad carrying AK-47s. In South Africa, he was in a vehicle near a cliff top surrounded by a herd of elephants.
The herd's matriarch put her brow to the side of the vehicle and began to push. "It's amazing how getting close to death changes how you see things," says Willmore.
In Uganda, he found the widow of a ranger and her children who "had nothing" and gave her a year's salary ($1500). She thought he was some sort of god, that it was a miracle. "I had to explain it wasn't my money."
Willmore is a convivial man. Our interview ends up at his local, the Herro in Balnarring. When we first met, outside the Balnarring coffee shop, he insisted on taking me to the local hardware store, the administrative centre for the Thin Green Line Concert to be held next Saturday at Coolart wetlands in Somers. The owner of the store, Terrey McMillan, describes himself as "a four-wheel driver, a motorbike rider and a shooter".
Before meeting Willmore, McMillan regarded rangers as "spoilsports". "He's changed me and my mates," says McMillan. "He showed us a sensible way of doing things in the bush."
I ask him to describe Sean Willmore. "Ethical," he says.
Concert tickets available at www.thingreenline.org.au. One ticket equals a month's salary for the family of a ranger killed in Africa.

'Take it to the Box' program launched
A medication disposal program began Wednesday in Hubbard County to collect unused or expired pills.
Called "Take it to the Box," the program aims to get dangerous medications out of home medicine cabinets and possibly out of the wrong users' hands.
The collection point is a locked metal box at the Hubbard County Sheriff's Department at 301 Court Avenue in Park Rapids.
Drugs, both prescription and over the counter medications, are one of the most sought-after items targeted in break-ins, said program instigator Sara Bowles.
The county's chemical dependency coordinator enlisted pharmacists, law enforcement personnel, medical professionals and solid waste supervisor Vern Massie in the effort to keep the pills out of the waste stream where they can cause environmental harm to soil and groundwater and physical harm to the humans who may misuse or abuse medications that belong to others.
Abuse of prescription medications is a trend growing alarmingly, Bowles said, when youths have access to a parent or grandparent's medicine cabinet. Pills such as oxycodone are sold on the street for prices as high as $20 apiece.
"They're everywhere," Massie said. The transfer stations see the pills in garbage, in recycling canisters and just dropped off for disposal.
As an example Massie brought a box full of medications one family had cleared out of the house for disposal Wednesday.
"Man that's some expensive medications," Bowles said, taking a quick inventory of the contents. "It's sad that people could use this medication."
But she added that there is "some pretty potentially dangerous stuff" in the box. Under current Minnesota law, unused medications cannot be donated to those in need.
Pharmacist Jackie Rehm said prescriptions would now come with a small yellow attachment advising people of the program.
"We hope pharmacists will staple these to each prescription bag," she said, inspecting one of the small tablets that will be distributed to all pharmacies.
Signs and handouts about the program will be disseminated throughout the county, at the clinic, hospital, pharmacies and the transfer stations.
Hospice nurses will be advised and enlisted to assist the collections.
Eventually Bowles hopes to organize pickup days in the smaller towns that aren't close to Park Rapids for the convenience of the residents in outlying areas.
It is a program mired in red tape and strict procedures.
Bowles said the Sheriff's Department had to obtain a hazardous waste license just to handle the drugs.
Law enforcement will periodically empty the drop box, inventory the contents and store them in the sheriff's evidence room.
When a carload has been amassed, a deputy will ferry the inventoried contents to an incinerator in Fosston and attest to their destruction.
The program will be monitored by the Pollution Control Agency, so strict records must be kept, Bowles said.
Program coordinators are trying to stress the importance of proper disposal.
"If it goes into a garbage bag we don't see it," Massie said.
But those bagged up pills could eventually be problematic.
"Environmentally we want to control what goes into our groundwater," Rehm said.
Depending on the medications, some can become more diluted with age. Others, however, have a tendency to become more concentrated. Either could be dangerous, Bowles said.
Bowles said the program will eventually be turned over to the Hubbard County Sheriff's department to oversee.
She praised outgoing sheriff Frank Homer and chief deputy Jerry Tatro for their support in making the program a success.
A Park Rapids business called Leading Edge, crafted the receptacle using measurements supplied by Massie and donated it to the program.
Local printers have donated time and costs to print the information sheets and labels that will be attached to prescriptions.
And, in an amnesty type of program, illegal drugs such as marijuana or cocaine can be bagged and dropped off.
No questions asked.

Best starter rod outfit

Re: Best starter rod outfit
I went a different way (than "pre-packaged outfits"). Personally, I like building my own stuff, including fly rods. On the web I have procured "rod kits" in a price range from $50 to $250 (the most expensive being SAGE blanks which comprise their retail equivalent in the $750 price range). All these rod kits are replete with all needed hardware, blanks, reel seat, cork handle, eyes, etc. All you need is a good work space, some thread, some epoxy, and a cheapie rod-turning machine.
One piece of advice I can give (having learned the hard way), is that I bought two reels at "closeout, bargain basement prices", and afterwards wished I had done a little research to learn if those models accommodated a spare spool, and if so, were there any spare spools available on the market. Unfortunately, I am stuck with very nice SAGE reels which were priced right (less than $40), but I have no ability to swap spools to gain certain advantage of quick setup changes.
Oh by the way, my first rod kit, including reel and those bare minimum kit building tools, plus an average quality fly line with backing came in just at or near $200. Since then, I have built three additional rods, but obviously the prices have grown along with my ego and desire to strive for better quality along the way.............. The above-mentioned SAGE rod is an 8wt on which I attached a SAGE Carbon Fiber reel with an extra spool so I can fish with a floating line or quickly switch to a sinker........... Oh yes, I have a wife too who would simply have a hissy fit if she knew how far this hobby has dipped into the piggy bank. But, I'm hoping that when that argument does arrive, at least I can mimic her old alibi about how much she saved when she shopped at the mall when all the sales were on.

WEST SUSSEX, England - With its period and reproduction costumes and 1920s and 30s equipment and car, The Vintage News is looking to the past to make its news stand out.
Founded seven years ago, it describes itself as "a mix of a news service, re-enactors and performance art." Its crew arrive on location dressed in 1940s clothing and drive a 1934 Morris 10 car called Betsy, giving the impression they may have stepped out of a pre-war movie.
"Until we started doing this I never owned a stills camera of any sort," said presenter Kieren Spooner, "so it was a harsh learning curve."

The fire in the Baldwin began in the boiler room of the theater and
quickly spread. The Colonial Hotel, located next to the theater, was only mildly damaged because of its
fireproof construction. It also stopped the fire from traveling through
town. Buildings destroyed by the fire were the Baldwin, Dr. J. H.
Nixon's building, photographer A. B. Duncan's building, the restaurant
and fruit store of Charles Sansone and the meat market of A. Clas.
Three homes at Robberson and Water also burned, but it was not known
whether sparks from the Baldwin started that fire.
The Baldwin Theatre was owned by H. B. McDaniel, Frank Fellows, Frank
Curran, Arch McGregor and Peter McCourt. It cost $109,000 to build.
The theater had been the location of many political gatherings, theatrical
performances and benefits. The postcard shows the Baldwin advertising
the play "Sherlock Holmes" playing on November 18, 1903. The
last performer was popular paperback book writer of the day Opie Read.
He performed the evening before the fire.
After the fire, George McDaniel took the four pillars prominent on
the front of the theater and placed them on the driveway of his house
on South Campbell Road.

Apple to introduce mobile payments with iPhone 5SIvan | Thu, 2013-07-18 21:10
Several sources indicate that the production of iPhone 5S has begun and we have an idea about the hardware expected to launch too:
- 4-inch IGZO Retina display
- A6 processor clocked a bit faster than the iPhone 5
- Quad-core SGX 554MP4 graphics
- Upgraded LTE radio
- 12MP camera
- Dual-LED flash
- Fingerprint scanner
The most interesting are the last two items.
As usual S upgrades on the iPhone keep the form factor unchanged and introduce an interesting new feature that may compell some customers to upgrade. The iPhone 3GS introduced video recording and the iPhone 4S introduced Siri. It is likely that the iPhone 5S will introduce mobile payments.
NFC credit card readers are available in many places around the world and several Android phones have NFC capabilities for payments. It feels like the world is ready for mobile NFC payments and it's the right time for Apple to introduce such a feature on iPhones.
Apple will probably update Passbook to support credit, debit and membership cards of all kind. It is possible it will rename Passbook to something like iPay or Passpay to reflect the new functionality. Quick authentication will be possible with the built in fingerprint scanner. Since many users already have their credit cards associated with their Apple ID accounts they would not even have to enter the credit card details into Passbook. The card will show up in Passbook by default.
To pay you will have to start Passbook, authenticate yourself by placing your thumb on the home button, select the card you wish the pay with if you have more than one, and finally put the phone close to the card reader. The payment will be immediate and a sound effect with an animation will give you audio-visual feedback to confirm it. You will not have to enter pin numbers or sign any receipts. Payment with the iPhone 5S will be a similar experience to paying with a card you currently keep in you wallet but somewhat more secure and faster because of the quick fingerprint authentication.
Many possibilities besides mobile payments were theoretically available to Android users for quite some time but the small user base slowed the acceptance of NFC. Apple will take the technology mainstream and many businesses will suddenly feel the need to satisfy customers eager to take advantage of the small conveniences offered by NFC enabled phones.
Car and house keys will be replaced by apps on mobile phones. Passbook together with NFC will allow people to use mass transportation, enter the gym and shop at Costco. People will exchange business cards virtually when both parties have NFC capable phones.
The mobile phone already replaced many objects we used to carry around. We don't have notepads, address books, cameras, dictaphones, iPods, books and laptops in our bags anymore. Soon we will be able to leave our wallets, business cards and keys at home as well.
It goes without saying that without sure data this is speculation and what Apple will actually release later this year remains to be seen.

Olivia Munn: 'The Newsroom' Faced 'Tough Competition' for Emmy Nominations
After critics applauded The Newsroom for turning a corner with its season two premiere, cast member Olivia Munn hoped Aaron Sorkin's HBO series — about the behind-the-scenes happenings of the fictional Atlantis Cable News channel — could earn Emmy recognition.
"Well it would be very nice," she told Celebuzz at the L'Oréal USA Women in Digital "NEXT" Generation Awards in New York City Wednesday, hours before nominations for 65th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced. "I know how hard Sorkin works on the show and how everybody works on the show, so to get something like that would be amazing."
While it didn't make the cut for the outstanding drama series category, " target="_blank">The Newsroom did pull in three nods, including one for lead actor Jeff Daniels, who stars as News Night lead anchor Will McAvoy.
"It's a tough competition. One-hour dramas, all of my favorite shows are in that category," Munn admitted. "I have a lot of friends on other shows. So, it's one of those things that it's nice when it happens, and if it doesn't happen, it's really nice for your friends."
For her part, Munn praises Sorkin — also the brain behind beloved TV drama, The West Wing, and the Oscar-winning movie, The Social Network — particularly for how he weaves real-world news stories into his scripts.
"I've never really asked him what he covers and what he doesn't cover, and the rhyme or reason," she said. "Only recently during a panel did … I get to hear [Sorkin's] answer. They were talking about the Newtown shooting and if he would cover it. And he said … something like … 'It's very hard to do because … you have to do it without exploiting it or diminishing it. It's a very tricky thing.'"
"So it's interesting, the thought process he has to go through to decide," she continued. "Just because it's a news event doesn't mean that we should be incorporating it into our show, which is a fictional show. I really loved and respected him more for saying that."
Though Sorkin chooses storylines on his own accord, that doesn't stop Munn and her fellow castmates from trying to predict what current events will pop up in the show's scripts.
"Sometimes I watch things and I get very excited, I'm like, 'I wonder if we're gonna [cover that],'" she said. "Sometimes we do that on the set. We go through and go, 'What's the next story going to be?' And we all go through our timeline … try to figure out what news event was happening at that time."

Thus far, T-commerce hasn't delivered much on what many assume to be vast potential, but Delivery Agent hopes to change that after forging a relationship with one of the masters of Internet-based commerce, PayPal.
The idea is to induce PayPal merchants to take advantage of Delivery Agent's existing relationships with service providers and consumer electronics companies to offer coupons, requests for information (RFIs) and the ability to make direct purchases.
PayPal bit. "Our goal is to be at the forefront of all technological advances and to offer our consumers and retail partners as many purchasing options as possible," said Mark Wenger, director of connected devices and iTV at PayPal. "This relationship with Delivery Agent will offer our global community additional ways to interact and transact."
Delivery Agent, backed by Liberty Global Ventures and Intel Capital among others, has what it describes as long term partnerships with NBC, FOX, CBS, HBO, Showtime, Pepsi, Visa, Comcast / NBCUniversal, Cablevision, AT&T, Verizon, Samsung and LG, among others. Delivery Agent calculates that its reach through those partners encompasses 85 million homes.
Retailers can engage consumers directly via their own advertising or via contextually relevant television programming, the company said.
"The U.S. Consumer T-Commerce Purchasing Report" just released by Delivery Agent, showed 76 percent of respondents are interested in purchasing products or services directly from the commercial they're watching. Eighty-two percent are interested in purchasing products seen in or tied to their favorite show.
In addition to completing purchases, 30 percent of respondents would be interested in saving products to a wish list, 25 percent would be interested in "liking" products on Facebook and 17 percent would be interested in participating in social games as a way to earn discounts.
"PayPal understands the importance of t-commerce to their customers," said Mike Fitzsimmons, Delivery Agent CEO. "The Delivery Agent ecosystem will allow PayPal merchants to strengthen the impact of their advertising through interactive engagement that reaches millions of households."

Wanna Hear a Crazy STAR WARS Rumor about a new Trilogy?
First of all, I have to tell you that this is only a rumor, and as of right now, there is no truth to it. But it is fun to entertain the idea and see what you all think of it.
According to a tip Marketsaw got from a source, George Lucas plans to make a new trilogy of Star Wars film in stereoscopic 3D. Lucas has a great animated series on Cartoon Network with Clone Wars, a new live-action TV series that is in development, and now there are rumors of three brand new Star Wars films in the works.
I've been hearing whispers of something like this happening since the release of Star Wars: Episode III, but nothing has ever emerged from it outside people's wild imagination. Which is all I think this is. But, I could be wrong. The next part of this rumor is what makes me strongly believe that the news is bull crap.
They say Lucas has no interest in directing the three movies(which is a good thing!) But then their source goes as far as to say that Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola are possible directors for the future Star Wars films.
Thats so far fetched that I'm not buying it. Steven Spielberg couldn't even direct it if he wanted to because he would have to leave the Directors Guild to do it. Because Lucas is not part of the Guild and doesn't abide by their guidelines. It's the same reason why Spielberg didn't end up directing Return of the Jedi.
Lucas is still planning on converting his old Star Wars movies to 3D. Thats been confirmed and has been in the works for some time now. The rest of the news I consider to be a big fat Star Wars pipe dream. But wouldn't it be cool if it turned out to be true? Being the huge Star Wars fan that I am, I would love to see three more Star Wars films NOT directed by George Lucas. I just don't want to get my hopes up. Talk to me! What are you thinking?
Here is a note from Jim at Marketsaw regarding his source:
How seriously should you consider these rumors? Well it is coming from a source that SHOULD KNOW. This source is absolutely connected. So odds are it is seriously being talked about at Lucasfilm. Right now. Will it happen? AVATAR will have to hit and hit big and then all the stars have to align properly - all I can do is pass on the info.
Decide for yourself.

One thing I love about health reporting is that I never seem to have too little information to put in a story. It's usually the other way around — I have way too much.
Unfortunately, that means lots of great, valuable information gets left behind in my notes, never to be seen again.
While reporting on an article about preventive health care, all of the doctors I interviewed emphasized that lifestyle choices also play a significant role in preventing illness. This was hard to include, because the emphasis of the data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was on people who utilize doctors for preventive measures.
Dr. George Rodgers, a cardiologist with Seton Heart Institute in Austin, shared with me some health tips he discusses with patients, and I just couldn't hold on to these.
Dr. Rodgers said these are the fundamentals, easy to say, but often hard to do. I agree.
Each tip just seems so sensible, I couldn't help but share each of them with readers.
Obtain and maintain an ideal body weight. Rodgers said it is the belly fat that is the problem. Men need to keep bellies at 40 inches or less, women at 35 inches or less, he said. This measurement needs to be taken right at the belly button.
Get regular aerobic exercise. Rodgers said to strive to add about 150 minutes of movement-type exercise to your weekly schedule, whether it's Zumba, kickboxing or jogging. That breaks down to about 40 minutes, four times a week.
Eat a healthy diet. It should include fruits and vegetables, and minimize anything that comes from an animal. Fish, said Rodgers, is the ideal protein.
Get enough sleep, seven to eight hours a night.
Find healthy ways of coping with stress such as meditation or yoga.
No smoking and no excessive drinking. I was reassured when Rodgers said a glass of wine a night is fine.
Another thing we often forget about is supplements, he said. He recommends a vitamin D supplement of 1,000 units a day, because it is a vitamin that most Americans lack.
"We are scared of sun, and for good reason," he said. "It wrecks our skin and makes us wrinkle. The byproduct is we don't get enough vitamin D."
Vitamin D levels, he said, can be checked out by a doctor and the need determined.
Rodgers also said he recommends people take fish oil capsules to keep the omega 3 up.
"Do all that and you'll live a long, healthy, happy life," said Rodgers.

Meanwhile, another CBS newcomer 'A Gifted Man' is still in the bubble as it awaits a full-season pick-up.
"Person of Interest" and "Unforgettable" have been added to the list of new shows which will stay at least for one full season. CBS has just made the full-season orders official after it was reported making pick-up calls to the producers of the two newbies last week.
Coming from executive producer J.J. Abrams, "Person of Interest" has averaged 13.9 million viewers in its Thursday 9 P.M. slot. Poppy Montgomery-starring "Unforgettable", meanwhile, ranks as the season's most-watched new drama with 14 million viewers in average while occupying the Tuesday 10 P.M. slot.
The "Person of Interest" and "Unforgettable" pick-ups leave "A Gifted Man" as the remaining CBS freshman in the bubble. The network has previously ordered a full season of "2 Broke Girls", but pulled "How to Be a Gentleman" off air.

The conclusions regarding smoking and HIV can hardly be a surprise. In my little world, HIV and addiction go hand-in-hand. I see no light at the end of that tunnel. Often, people are just trading one addiction for another. There are yet other numbers in this study that also confirm what I have seen anecdotally. Violence. These numbers re: death by violence, at these high rates, should rock the boat of public health. These numbers mean that if you have HIV, you are at a much higher risk of dying by violence than the rest of the population. I will walk out on a limb here, and say that there is a correlation between addiction and violence. Would I go so far as to say that many young people with HIV are addicted to violence. I would. No one in the HIV community would agree with that. But I am dealing on a day to day (moment to moment) basis with young boys with HIV who do sex work. Many of them have a history of being trafficked. The added element of death by violence comes as no surprise. They are often murdered by pimps. Trafficking is a 32 billion dollar concern in the US alone. Many people feel boys are never trafficked. Ignorance is bliss. In the face of everything they are confronted with, they smoke. A lot. I have seen them climb into slowly passing cars and then simply disappear. I have seen them run away from abusive families and simply disappear. I have seen them arrested for soliciting, get put into juvenile detention where they kill themselves, usually by hanging. I have seen them beaten up by police and tricks. The violence angle is not a surprise only in that someone somewhere needs to take a hard look at that, too. If ten percent of the general population was dying from violence, someone somewhere would be stirred to action..

I feel sorry for smokers who are so highly addicted and for so many years, they are delusional as to,it's health risks until they get lung or throat cancer. They also are highly defensive..even amongst close family I recently found out. I didn't put that in your mouth and make you smoke it, it was a choice..
kathy mccreedy
I continue to be baffled that smoking is even legal... it is a slow killer that exacts a huge toll on our healthcare system, our environment, the filth in our cities, and the quality of air I breathe. No other substance would be classified as legal if it was so incredibly addictive and/or directly caused so much disease and death. Those smokers who want to stick their heads in the sand about the real risks are simply hopelessly addicted and delusional. The US tobacco industry has set it's sights on the foreign market & is doing incredibly well there, addicting and killing people, and it's usually those who have the least amount of discretionary income. Shame on the Tobacco industry... I really don't know how they justify making such a lethal product nor how do they sleep at night..
pat m
I thank God everyday that I no longer smoke. What worked for me was group hypnosis. I had tried the patch, the gum, you name it, to no avail. And Dan is right. Alcohol is a super killer too. That's why we call them sin taxes, but we should really call them death taxes, as they hasten us all toward death..

A 71-year-old man was awarded $10,000 damages yesterday after the Federal Court found the pacemaker fitted to his heart was "not of merchantable quality".
Kevin Courtney, of Geelong, was relieved to have been awarded the money and that his role in the class action over suspect pacemakers was over.
Justice Ronald Sackville found that a batch of St Jude Telectronic Tempo pacemakers was not up to standard and that the Australian distributor, Medtel Pty Ltd, was liable to pay compensation under the Trade Practices Act.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration issued a hazard alert/product recall on the batch in June 2000.
As events turned out, Mr Courtney's pacemaker, when surgically removed in September 2000, was found not to suffer from the accelerated battery failure which had occurred in some of the batch.
"In other words, it is one of 90per cent or more of the ... pacemakers that ... did not suffer from a short-circuit problem," the judge said.
But it had to be removed from the body to be tested.
Justice Sackville stressed that Medtel had not been found liable because of the hazard alert, and urged manufacturers and distributors not to see the decision as a disincentive to be "frank" in issuing hazard alerts.
He declined to award damages for anxiety, saying Mr Courtney was "fairly stoic", but left psychological damages open for others taking part in the 550-strong class action.
Dr Peter Cashman, of the law firm Maurice Blackburn Cashman, said many in the class action were elderly and unwell, and the Australian distributor was pursued rather than a more difficult action against the US manufacturer.
But Clayton Utz, which represented Medtel, said medical devices were often recalled.
Lawyer Stuart Clark said his client objected to the class action stemming from the recall, and said Medtel had offered certain medical costs and new pacemakers to those affected.
Dr Cashman said the case had only gone to trial because Medtel refused a reasonable settlement offer.

Pair of Counter-Rotating Vortices in Ground Effect

Primary vortices (red) generated in water by a pair of rotating flaps and secondary vortices (green) generated upon interaction of the primary vortices with a solid boundary.
The interaction of a pair of counter-rotating vortices with a solid boundary is a problem of fundamental interest to many areas of fluid mechanics, as well as to practical applications in which vortices interact with the ground or with vehicles in air or water. These vortices are subject to both short-wavelength and long-wavelength instabilities. The focus of this study concerns the evolution of vortices initially subject to the long-wavelength instability, which then interact with a wall.
A vortex pair is generated in a water tank using a pair of rotating flaps that span the length of the tank. The interaction of these primary vortices (red) with a solid horizontal wall within the tank leads to the formation of secondary vortices (green). The two sets of images were taken ten seconds apart and show the vortices from the side (top two images in each set) and from below (bottom two images in each set).
Upon interacting with the ground plane, significant flow is directed along the axis of each primary vortex (shown in red). This leads to the periodic concentration of fluid containing vorticity at the peaks of the initially wavy vortex line. In the secondary vortices (shown in green), vortex rings appear to develop from rising vortex loops.
This research was supported by the Office of Naval Research.

Bad Plans, Visual Blight In Downtown Cleveland
A recently proposed plan would "replace the existing ramp south of Carnegie Avenue and thereby speed the flow of southbound traffic from Ontario onto the westbound lanes of the I-90 bridge at rush hour, when tie-ups are now the rule...
The goal is understandable, but the proposal is a nightmare. It would vandalize the city's half-billion- dollar sports complex as effectively as an army of graffiti art ists with spray cans.
...Visual blight such as this can kill a city as quickly as any other urban pathology - in which case, traffic would be the least of Cleveland's problems."

JIM LEHRER: Next tonight, the continuing crackdown in Myanmar, the country formally known as Burma. NewsHour correspondent Tom Bearden narrates our setup report.
TOM BEARDEN: Aung San Suu Kyi awoke today in the home that has been her prison for much of the last 20 years. The democracy activist and Nobel laureate was convicted yesterday for violating the terms of her home detention.
The repressive military regime in Myanmar has kept her confined for her political activities. Yesterday's decision stems from a bizarre incident in May involving an American man who swam across a lake to Suu Kyi's home. John Yettaw claimed he was trying to save her from assassination. He stayed at her home for two days. Both were arrested and jailed on various charges.
Yesterday, Suu Kyi was sentenced to three years at hard labor, but the sentence was quickly reduced by the junta's leader to 18 months of home confinement. Yettaw was sentenced to seven years of hard labor.
Both verdicts will be appealed, but Suu Kyi's attorney said it came as no surprise. He spoke yesterday to the Associated Press.
NYAN WIN, attorney (through translator): Lady Suu has been expecting this outcome from the beginning. We didn't say it before because it would have amounted to trying to influence the court. Actually, we anticipated this kind of outcome from the beginning; that's why we have been stocking many books and medicines.
TOM BEARDEN: International condemnation was swift. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yesterday.
HILLARY CLINTON, secretary of state: She should not have been tried, and she should not have been convicted. We continue to call for her release.
TOM BEARDEN: Suu Kyi will be detained at least through elections planned in Myanmar for next year. It would be the first such poll since 1990, when Suu Kyi's party was elected in a landslide but was prevented from taking power.
ANNA ROBERTS, Burma Campaign U.K.: It's clear that the regime wants to silence Aung San Suu Kyi and all voices of dissent in Burma ahead of their sham elections that are planned for next year, elections we know that have nothing to do with democracy and freedom, but everything to do with ensuring their continued rule and about entrenching military dictatorship in Burma.
Uprisings Challenge Regime
TOM BEARDEN: The power of the regime was challenged two years ago during widespread uprisings, led in part by Buddhist monks. The protests were brutally suppressed by the military.
Last year, a massive typhoon swept across the country, killing as many as 200,000 Burmese. In the face of the disaster, the government's reaction was to deny the scope of the tragedy and refuse international offers of assistance.
The military junta has been in control for nearly 50 years. It took power in a 1962 coup. It has repeatedly rebuffed international efforts that it liberalize Myanmar, once known as Burma.
Trade sanctions have been effectively diminished by regional trading partners, including China, and efforts at the United Nations to formally condemn the conviction yesterday were stalled by both Russia and China, who said the case of Aung San Suu Kyi was an internal Burmese matter.
JIM LEHRER: For more we go to two Myanmar watchers. Priscilla Clapp was chief of the U.S. mission there from 1999 to 2002. Tom Malinowski is Washington advocacy director for Human Rights Watch.
Ms. Clapp, what do you make of the 18-month house arrest sentence? Did you expect more, or were you relieved?
PRISCILLA CLAPP, former U.S. embassy official, Burma: Both, yes. She did -- her sentence was three years at hard labor, and I expected three to five years in jail.
JIM LEHRER: And you expected to put her -- that they would put her in prison?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: I expected that's what they would sentence her to. I was hoping that they wouldn't put her in prison, because I think it would be very dangerous for her. So in a sense, I am relieved that they've let her go home, but that doesn't mean that I think the conviction was correct.
JIM LEHRER: What's your analysis of why they did not put her in prison, Mr. Malinowski, why they let her stay at home?
TOM MALINOWSKI, Human Rights Watch: Actually, I think this is what they planned to do all along. The backdrop to this is the military junta's plan to hold this so-called election in 2010 in which they're planning to hand-pick a bunch of civilians to form a sort of facade civilian government that would be subservient to the military, ultimately.
And they needed to get Aung San Suu Kyi, the beloved leader of the democratic opposition in Burma, out of the way until that election so that she can't interfere with those plans.
And so what they needed to do was -- it really didn't matter from their point of view whether she's in prison or confined in her house. They needed to keep her away from the people of Burma and away from a position in which she could oppose that plan.
JIM LEHRER: And there's no question that they won't allow her to participate in those elections, right?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: I think there is no question. The new constitution actually would have made it possible for her to participate from detention at home if she hadn't been sentenced by the court, but now that she's sentenced by the court and serving her sentence, even though she's at home, she is not eligible to run.
JIM LEHRER: What is known, if anything, about what her life is like inside that house on that lake?
TOM MALINOWSKI: It's solitary, by definition.
JIM LEHRER: Anybody in the house with her?
TOM MALINOWSKI: She's had a couple of supporters who have been allowed to live with her, who have been sort of misidentified as servants over the last few years, and they were also sentenced to continued house arrest under the same strange trial.
But in terms of outside visitors, very occasional visits by her doctor, by her lawyer, but essentially a life of terrible, terrible isolation. Her family, for example, has been kept from seeing her for many, many years.
Information Flow Improving
JIM LEHRER: What's the information flow about her, and not only just her, about what's going on in the country itself? Has that improved any, particularly since the demonstrations and the protests and the arrests a while ago?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: It's improving all the time, because of technology.
JIM LEHRER: How -- explain that.
PRISCILLA CLAPP: It's improved a lot since I was there 10 years ago, since I lived there. The people have access to the Internet. They have access to telephones that they just didn't have before.
The advances in cell phone technology, the advances in Internet technology are beyond the ability of the regime to control it thoroughly. So a lot of people have access to those, to means of communicating with the outside world.
JIM LEHRER: All right. Beyond Suu Kyi's situation, what's it like to live in Burma right now? What's everyday life like?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: Everyday life is very difficult, because it is an extremely poor place. They don't have anything like the services that we're used to in our life. You have to do everything for yourself. It's a bureaucratic battle to get it done. It's a very difficult place to live as an ordinary citizen.
JIM LEHRER: But the word "oppressive" is used. We used it -- Tom Bearden used it in the setup piece. Oppressive in what way? And how do we know about it?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: Well, to we Americans it would be extremely oppressive, but to Burmese who have always lived this way, they're used to it. For example -- and this is what Aung San Suu Kyi was accused of -- you are not allowed to have anyone stay in your house that is not registered to live in that house or you could be sent to jail for five years. And they do bed checks at night. The local wardens come around to see if there's anybody in the house that's not supposed to be there.
JIM LEHRER: Everybody in the country is subject to a bed check?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: Yes. But particularly in the cities, and particularly in Rangoon, where they're nervous about activity. They don't want people getting together and plotting.
TOM MALINOWSKI: They're used to this, but they're not really used to it, in the sense that it's not natural for any human being to live this way.
JIM LEHRER: Sure. Sure.
TOM MALINOWSKI: And, you know, that's why you have -- you know, the pattern in Burma has been a couple of years of political quiet followed by outbreaks of resistance, because people just don't want to live this way, and that's inevitable. It's going to continue until there's a way found to bring these two sides together.
JIM LEHRER: What happened, the so-called Saffron Rebellion, the Buddhist monks? What happened to them?
TOM MALINOWSKI: The leaders of the uprising -- many of whom were Buddhist monks, as you mentioned, and also a number of young activists -- were rounded up, brutally interrogated, and most of them have been sentenced to many years, in some cases decades in prison, served in isolated prisons in the jungle.
So we're all focused on Aung San Suu Kyi, because she is the symbol...
JIM LEHRER: Sure.
TOM MALINOWSKI: ... the leader, the hero of this movement, but there has been a massive crackdown on any kind of dissent, and people who are not famous get much harsher treatment than Aung San Suu Kyi.
JIM LEHRER: Are there still monks active within the population?
TOM MALINOWSKI: Absolutely. And there are...
JIM LEHRER: What are they doing? What are their activities?
TOM MALINOWSKI: They are laying low right now. They are communicating with each other. They're communicating with the outside world. But as of now, as we see, there are not massive demonstrations in Burma or strikes or actions.
Prison Conditions
JIM LEHRER: Is there any way to estimate -- to pick up on your earlier point -- is there any way to know or estimate how many people actually are in prison for these kinds of dissident activities?
TOM MALINOWSKI: Well, sure. And there are networks that report on this in a very professional way.
JIM LEHRER: What's the figure?
TOM MALINOWSKI: We think over 2,000.
PRISCILLA CLAPP: Over 2,000.
JIM LEHRER: How many?
TOM MALINOWSKI: Over 2,000.
JIM LEHRER: Over 2,000. Does that gel with what you've heard, as well?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: Yes, it does. And, essentially, they doubled the number of political prisoners after the Saffron Revolution.
JIM LEHRER: And the people -- what's the word on how the prisoners are treated?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: They're treated very badly.
JIM LEHRER: Like what? What does that mean?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: It varies from prison to prison. Some prisons are worse than others. And they move them around to different parts of the country, so it's difficult for their families to visit them.
They don't feed them well. Most prisoners rely on their families to feed them. They don't give them proper medical treatment. They subject them to interrogations and harsh tortures. And they just make life miserable for them, particularly the political prisoners.
JIM LEHRER: Is there -- here again referring to what Tom said in the setup piece, and you mentioned also about the electronic activity, the ability to get word out -- is there any evidence at all that what happens outside Burma, whether it's done by the United States, the United Nations, or any group of nations makes any difference at all?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: It makes a difference in the long run, but it's very difficult to measure. It keeps extreme pressure on the regime, and the regime has to worry about its own population. The people care. The people inside Burma care. The regime tries...
JIM LEHRER: They want to know that people outside are on their side and doing something?
PRISCILLA CLAPP: Yes, it means a lot to them to know that...
JIM LEHRER: Yes. What's your...
TOM MALINOWSKI: I think it, well, means a lot to the people. I think it means a lot to the government, too.
There's one interesting thing about this verdict that people haven't commented on. We expected it to come a lot sooner, a month ago, even before then. They waited until mid-August, when virtually every senior official in Europe and the United States is on vacation, and I don't think that's entirely coincidental. I think...
JIM LEHRER: Slip it under the radar, if they could?
TOM MALINOWSKI: Slip it under the radar. And, also, the somewhat more lenient-than-expected nature of the sentence. In other words, some people expected, you know, hard labor in prison, but it's only house arrest.
They do have an eye on the international community. They are aware that they are living in a world that is watching them, and they are somewhat paranoid about what the international community might do down the road. And that is a fear that can be exploited if there's an energetic effort by the United States, by other countries to continue this pressure and actually to enhance it in creative ways.
PRISCILLA CLAPP: And every year, they prepare for the U.N. General Assembly, which starts in early September, trying to make a few gestures here and there so that the international leaders will be a little easier on them.
JIM LEHRER: Yes. And that's basically China and Russia, right, in terms of keeping the rest of the world on the backs of the...
PRISCILLA CLAPP: No, the General Assembly is when all of the world leaders come together.
JIM LEHRER: Oh, yes, they all come, right.
PRISCILLA CLAPP: And if something bad is going on in Burma, in Myanmar, the world leaders start talking about it, and the generals do not like that, so they try to make sure that things are calmed down by the time the General Assembly comes. And I think that is what they had in mind when they handed out this sentence.
JIM LEHRER: What's going on now. OK. Thank you all very much.
TOM MALINOWSKI: Thank you.

I know, you thought this was going to be about Chris Brown, who took home two Grammy Awards over the weekend and used the occasion to tweet to the world that those who haven't forgiven him for beating the crap out of Rihanna should just fuck off because now he's won 2 Grammys. But it's not.
And it's not about Mitt Romney, whose candidacy for the Republican nomination for President of the United States may have hit an insurmountable snag when he proudly told the world that on a family trip 20 years ago, he put the family dog in a crate strapped to the top of the car while they drove for 12 hours. Not sure if this part is true but I did read somewhere that every now and then he'd have to stop and hose off the car because the terrified animal's "business" was running down the sides of the car. Because you see in America you're free to abuse poor people all you want but don't get on the wrong side of PETA. But it's not about Romney either.
Nope, this is about the continuing saga of Henry Tang, the man who felt that Beijing should just hand him the post of Chief Executive of Hong Kong on a silver platter and be done with it. Apparently the fact that he'd not only been cheating on his wife – a lot! – and may have had kids outside of his marriage was quite okay. The fact that he was treating the fake election as a fake election and not even bothering to have a platform or policies was quite okay. Nope, his "candidacy" is getting derailed because it was discovered that his house in Kowloon Tong has an illegal 2400 square foot basement.
So let's see his leadership qualities in this. Let's see how macho he is. What does he do? How will he, ahem, dig himself out from under this?
"It was my wife's idea …"
The SCMP reports that "the disclosure may leave [Mrs. Tang], who admitted masterminding what many are calling an "underground palace", facing criminal charges over the illegal works."
"There were inner struggles in my heart. On the one hand I wanted to give the full picture, but on the other hand I did not want to implicate my wife," said Mr.
Pussy Tang.
Dude should have just copped to being Superman and saying, "Hey, I own the place, I need a Fortress of Solitude so I have a place where I can contemplate how I can best use my super powers for good rather than evil." Nope. Instead he just kind of looked at the ground, shuffled his feet a little bit and muttered, "I didn't do it, it was HER!"
The good news is that this nimrod might actually have to pull out of the race to win an election that isn't an election.
The bad news is that Regina Ip has announced she might throw her
wig hat into the ring.
I suppose it doesn't really matter who gets "elected" Hong Kong's next Chief Executive. Regardless of who becomes our next C.E., Hong Kong's future is clear – it is destined to become a shopping mall and public toilet for billionaires from Shenzhen driving through to get to the Hong Kong-Macau-Zhuhai bridge.
UPDATE: Not that I really had any doubts but it looks like I'm not alone in my assessment of Henry Tang's character. Just grabbed this from Facebook:

The Flyfishing Show - Marlboro, MA
Just attended yesterday. The last time I was there was 1999, and it was just as if nothing changed at all. The exception being Lefty Kreh now 87 years old. It is always a joy to watch his casting demonstrations. For an old feller he can surely flip that line around, and I am amazed at how old age has not dimmed his speech. He speaks lucidly, and with none of the age-related slowness so common with elderly. Like I said, its always a pleasure. :)
Other than that, nothing else notable, and if it weren't for meeting some old friends there for breakfast, I'd be happy never to return. All the products offered seemed old and stale and worn from travelling. Shopkeepers looked tired and forlorn, eager for the day to end (and I got there early in the AM). There was a large percentage of lodges and guides pumping their services. Seems like everyone wanted my name and address. which I was loathe to part with. All I need is more junk mail or telemarketers calling. :(
I bought a Fishpond wading belt, and headed home, content that I'm good to go for another ten years.
Did anyone else go to this show?
Re: The Flyfishing Show - Marlboro, MA
I tried to go on Saturday, but some sickness in my family kept me from being able to. I was looking forward to it.
Re: The Flyfishing Show - Marlboro, MA
How's your dad feeling?
Re: The Flyfishing Show - Marlboro, MA
Sort of disappointing to read. I'm going to my first show, next week in NJ. I only have a short time that I can be there, as it's an in-travel pass-through. I land at Newark at 0738., retrieve my car, and get to the Convention Center. Problem is that i need to be in Albany, NY (3.25 hours away) by NLT 1700, so I'll only have a few hours to enjoy the show.
Hopefully, the "first show" lure will make it more enjoyable than your experience!
Re: The Flyfishing Show - Marlboro, MA
And you can't watch Lefty cast too many times. He's worth the price of admission all by himself.
I like to make a list of things to purchase, mostly tying and rod building materals, and when I walk through the booths, that's what I look for.
Re: The Flyfishing Show - Marlboro, MA
Re: The Flyfishing Show - Marlboro, MA
Never been to the show but was planning to attend this year. It won't be in my neck of the woods until the first weekend in March. Hopefully Lefty will be casting in Pasadena.

Smash: Scoop on episode 2×04 "The Song" from TVLine's Michael Ausiello
Here's some scoop on Smash from this week's (Posted on 2/19/13) Ask Ausiello column.
Question: Come on, Aus! I ask for Ivy-related Smash spoilers every week! Surely you've got something by now? —Linzey
Ausiello: Well, aside from the fact that "They Just Keep Moving the Line" is now in the Top 10 — with a bullet — at TVLine HQ, let's just say that in next week's episode, the blonde bombshell finds herself participating in three out of the following four activities: 1) Grinding up on Jennifer Hudson's sweet starlet Veronica Moore; 2) Harmonizing with sworn enemy Karen; 3) Booking a gig that'll be (as that network tagline goes) "only on Bravo!"; and 4) Removing one of Ellis' teeth with pliers. Oh, and for a little bonus scoop, would you be surprised to find out that Ms. Cartwright might have a hidden knack for songwriting?

An osteoma is a rare noncancerous tumor of the bone. Most cases are
diagnosed in children and young adults ages 5 to 25.
About half of all osteomas affect the long leg bone (femur), but
any bone in the body may be involved, including the skull. An osteoma in the
spine can affect the bony ring that protects the spinal nerves.
The most common symptom of an osteoma is pain, often at night,
which usually can be relieved by pain medicine. Osteomas are usually not
removed surgically unless they are causing problems with movement or
compression of a nerve.

The College of Wooster's swimming and diving teams wrapped up their dual meet season with a pair of impressive wins over John Carroll Saturday afternoon. The Lady Scots marched to a 133-91 victory, and the Scots followed suit with a 118-92 triumph.
Wooster's women, who finished the season with a 6-1 dual meet record, posted a number of first-place finishes, highlighted by the 400-yard individual medley, where junior Leah Becki raced to victory with a pool- record time of 4:42.72. In addition, junior Carolyn Firchak won the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:18.08, while freshman Jessica Ritchie captured the 100 freestyle and tied a pool record in the process with a time of 54.66.
Also, sophomore Michelle Cady won the 100 backstroke (1:04.27); freshman Beth Starling was first in the 200 breaststroke (2:29.90); and the 200 freestyle relay with Cady, Starling, junior Jacque Gray, and Ritchie placed first with a pool record time of 1:41.33.
On the boards sophomore Natalie Goss and freshman Sara Connolly split a pair of seconds between the 1- and 3-meter boards. Goss placed second on the one-meter (183.0), and Connolly placed second on the 3-meter with a score of 201.85.
Wooster's men, who raised their record to 5-2, fared just as well as the women, finishing first in seven out of 10 events. Posting victories for the Scots were junior Steve Bayuk in the 50 freestyle (21.91), senior Rob Harrington in the 100 butterfly (57.69), and sophomore Wes Bennett in the 100 freestyle (47.82).
First-place finishes were also secured in the 200 breaststroke by freshman Jody Herzog (2:27.41), and the 200 medley and freestyle relays. The 200 freestyle relay, consisting of Bayuk, junior Kagan McKittrick, freshman Eric Knauss, and Bennett set a pool record with a time of of 1:26.80.
The Scots and Lady Scots have the upcoming weekend off as they begin preparation for the North Coast Athletic Conference championship meet, which will be held at Oberlin on Feb. 10-13.

The hostel had an incredibly welcoming and unique vibe. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The only two things that there was no kitchen aside from a fridge and microwave and the apartment complex (not the hostel itself) that the hostel is in can be a bit creepy at night. Overall I would definitely recommend the stay to a friend!

On November 6, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Greece v. Galloway, which tested the constitutionality of prayer as a component of government meetings.
Before his retirement from denominational employment in 2011, James Coffin served for nearly 36 years as a youth pastor, senior pastor and editor for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He currently is executive director of the Interfaith Council of Central Florida. His executive committee has representation from an array of faith traditions: Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian (both Catholic and Protestant), Hindu, Jewish, Muslim (both Sunni and Shia), Sikh and Unitarian.
As an Adventist minister, I've followed with more than casual interest Dr.
Twenty-one years ago, on April 19, 1993, 76 religious extremists from a Seventh-day Adventist offshoot group known as the Branch Davidians died in the conflagration that ensued when U.S. Government law enforcement sought to seize control of the Davidian's Mount Carmel compound near Waco, Texas.
On November 6, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Greece v. Galloway, which tested the constitutionality of prayer as a component of government meetings.
A couple of years ago I presented a study on the doctrine of the Sabbath to a young man who was interested in joining the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I explained that the reckoning of the 24-hour day in Bible times wasn't the same as our current secular reckoning. Instead of the day being calculated from midnight to midnight, as we do now, the biblical day commenced at sunset and continued until the next sunset.
When I read the Spectrum article "Ted Wilson Takes Appeal to 3ABN Audience," when I watched Pastor Wilson's presentation in front of the Pacific Union Conference (PUC) constituency, when I perused his statement of response following the PUC meeting, and when I examined the associated materials posted on the Adventist News Network, I was hit by a wave of nausea. Literally.
Prologue and Disclaimers
Over many years I've noted a surprising penchant for defaming the victim and defending the perpetrator. Which makes me wonder: If the Gethsemane story had taken place in, let's say, 2012, what kind of support would Judas get in readers' comments when news of the betrayal first breaks on Spectrum a couple of hours after Jesus' arrest? I can only imagine . . .
The Columbia Union Conference's Special Constituency Meeting to determine whether or not women will be allowed ordination into the gospel ministry is tomorrow. Spectrum will be live blogging the event as it happens.
As the North American Division discovered to its chagrin when it had to reverse its decision to modify its constitution and bylaws to allow for the ordination of women, the church's governing documents can be a hard taskmaster. I'm not certain the union conferences are going to find it much easier. In other words, it's not over yet.
According to a Religious News Service report available on the Huffington Post, "Seventh-day Adventists have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of two ordinances in an Alabama city that the church says bars it and other religious groups from door-to-door solicitations unless they first register and pay license fees.

Take a walk . . . take action
BeeWalk is a national recording scheme to monitor the abundance of bumblebees across the UK. The survey would be impossible without volunteers like you, who identify and count the bumblebees they see on an hour's walk each month from March to October. It can be a very pleasant way to spend an hour or two on a sunny day.
Anyone can become a BeeWalker – all you need is a spare hour or so every month to walk a fixed route of about a mile (you choose where it goes), and send us your sightings. It's essential that the route is fixed to allow direct comparisons of bumblebee population trends over time.
We'll help as much as possible with identification – we've got ID resources online and on paper, or you can photograph your mystery species and upload them to our BeeWatch site, or to the BBCT forum where you'll also find a community of fellow bumblebee enthusiasts.
The information collected by BeeWalk volunteers is integral to monitoring how bumblebee populations change through time, and will allow us to detect early warning signs of population declines. All data collected will contribute to important long-term monitoring of bumblebee population changes in response to changes in land-use and climate change and, ultimately, to informing how we manage the countryside.
We hope you'll be able to join in – without the fundamental information provided by volunteers across the country, we're fighting blind in the struggle to reverse the plight of the bumblebee.
For more information, visit the BeeWalk website at www.beewalk.org.uk to sign up. You can register via the Home page or through Resources. You can also access the BeeWalk guidelines document via Resources or download it below.
If you have already registered your interest, here are the documents you will need to get started.
The BeeWalk guidelines document gives full instructions on how to set up, reigster and begin surveying your transect. The Site Description (F1) and Monthly Recording (F2) forms are used for reporting your transect details and survey results to us. Information on how to use those is contained in the guidelines document.

Showers possible for State Fair opening, but weekend looks great
Posted October 13, 2013
Updated October 14, 2013
Raleigh, N.C. — A few showers are possible on Thursday, the first day of the North Carolina State Fair, but the weather will be wonderful this weekend, says WRAL meteorologist Nate Johnson.
Overcast skies are expected to hang around until then.
"Yeah, we're still dealing with the cloud cover, and we're going to be dealing with the cloud cover for the next couple of days anyway," Johnson said. "(There will be) at least a peak or two of sunshine tomorrow, but don't break out the sunglasses just yet. Wednesday looks like a better day with highs in the upper 70s – not too shabby."
A low-pressure system off the North Carolina coast brought some rain to the central part of the state Sunday and Monday.
A high-pressure system from the north that's moving south will bring dryer air and more sunshine and warmer temperatures on Tuesday. By Wednesday, the highs will reach the mid- to upper 70s.
Overnight lows will stay in the mid-to upper 50s for the next several days, but could dip into the high 40s by next Sunday.

David DeCastro played all 39 games he started in three years at Stanford at right guard, and is widely known for his ability to pull.
That won't change in the pros after the Steelers selected him with their first-round pick (24th overall) last night even though the organization has historically used their left guard to pull much more than their right guard.
A source within the organization confirmed to me that the Steelers will switch Ramon Foster from right guard to left guard to make room for DeCastro with the plan of using last year's opening-day starting right guard, Doug Legursky, as a game day backup at all three interior line positions.
Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin suggested that DeCastro would remain at right guard last night when he simply stated: "He's a right guard."
By putting DeCastro at right guard, it will certainly be an adjustment for Foster.
Foster has 28 career starts, 23 of which came at right guard over the Steelers' past 26 games. Foster has only five career start at left guard and just one since his rookie year of 2009.
Over the past 14 years, and under five different offensive coordinators, the Steelers has been a heavy left-guard pulling team with the likes of Alan Faneca and Chris Kemoeatu.
With DeCastro's strength as a pulling guard, and Foster being more of a mauler, it's interesting that the coaching staff is set on DeCastro at right guard.
However, we don't know how new offensive coordinator Todd Haley plans to run the offense, either. Who knows if the '22 Double' will even exist in Haley's offense?
One thing is for sure, the much-maligned offensive line will have a brand new look. Four of the Steelers' projected five starting offensive lineman this year will be either new or in new positions.
To go along with the addition of DeCastro and the switch of Foster to left guard, Marcus Gilbert will move from right tackle to left tackle and right tackle Willie Colon will be back in the lineup after missing all but one game last year. Center Maurkice Pouncey will be the only holdover from last year's line.

Glade Top Trail
Glade Top Trail weaves for 23 miles through Ozark hill country, along narrow ridges. This is one of the most scenic byways in Missouri, and it cuts through Mark Twain National Forest and borders the Hercules Glades Wilderness Area. Spring and fall landscapes are particularly stunning, with the flaming fall foliage including the dazzling red and orange of the smoke tree and spring flowering beauties including the dogwood, rosebud, serviceberry, and wild fruit trees.
You can drive the trail in 45 minutes, but why not take a day and explore the many opportunities such as wildlife viewing, hunting, fishing, horseback riding and picnicking?
Northern Entrance: From Ava, take Hwy 5 for 5 miles to Hwy A. Follow Hwy A to County Road A409, which leads you straight to the entrance.
Southern Entrance: From Springfield, take Hwy 125 south for about 50 miles. Entrance is on the left. There is a sign there pointing the way.
