Surge® Tools
Needlenose Pliers
A die cast pinching tool with an angled nose for holding or manipulating materials, ideal for small objects or tight spaces.
Regular Pliers
A die cast pinching tool for holding or manipulating materials.
154CM Replaceable Wire Cutters
Replaceable bypassing cutting blades crafted from 154CM, meant for cutting regular and light-gauge wire. 154CM will keep its edge three times as long as traditional stainless steel for less down-time in the field.
154CM Replaceable Hard-wire Cutters
Replaceable bypassing cutting blades crafted from 154CM, meant for cutting hard wire. 154CM will keep its edge three times as long as traditional stainless steel for less down-time in the field.
Stranded-wire Cutters
Concave cutters located under plier jaws for use on Stranded wire - smaller gauge wire bundled or wrapped together to form a larger conductor. The concave shape helps to keep the shape of the strands without crushing them.
Electrical Crimper
Found in the jaw of the tool and used for general purpose crimping of electrical connectors.
Wire Stripper
A useful notch for safely stripping multiple types of wire.
420HC Knife
A knife crafted from 420HC, a high-carbon stainless steel that is corrosion resistant and can be easily maintained.
420HC Serrated Knife
A toothed blade crafted from 420HC stainless steel. Serrations grab and cut materials easily, making this style of blade exceptionally useful for cutting through rope or fiber.
A toothed tool made from 420HC stainless steel that is designed to work on a pull motion, which requires less effort and has less propensity for breakage. The open-tooth design keeps the saw from filling up with material, allowing the user to complete a job without pausing to clean the tool.
Spring-action Scissors
Scissors for cutting paper or other light materials that automatically spring back to the open position when not being used. Sprung tools are helpful for reducing hand-fatigue, especially in scissors where the user may be opening and closing the tool many times to make multiple cuts in a row.
Awl w/ Thread Loop
An awl is a tool that can be used to create or enlarge holes by puncturing materials such as leather or canvas. They can also be used to start stair steps for hunting stands. The thread loop can be used for sewing materials together when necessary.
Ruler (8 in | 19 cm)
A precise measuring guide for determining length in inches or centimeters, up to 8 inches or 19 centimeters.
Can Opener
A lever/punch style tool to assist in opening canned goods, perfect for camping or in survival situations. The blade on this tool has been ground in a way that it pushes the cut metal into the rim, keeping sharp edges from cutting the user as the can is handled.
Bottle Opener
A tool that allows the user to pop the top on a favorite beverage.
Wood/Metal File
A 420HC stainless steel tool with a crisscross pattern that forms a rough surface for the user to file or smooth both wood and metal surfaces. The file pattern on Leatherman files is extended to the end of the file as well as down the side to give a file stoke and/or a more precise file edge.
Diamond-coated File
A stainless steel blank coated with premium synthetic diamond particles which create a rough surface that can be used to sharpen hard steel blades with much more precision than wood/metal files.
Blade Exchanger®
This feature allows the user to swap out Leatherman and universal t-shank tools of the same length for specific jobs, extending the functionality of the multi-tool. The Blade Exchanger® locks the tool into place for safety during use.
Large Bit Driver
This driver slot holds any of the full-size Leatherman tool bits in place and allows the user to exchange bits for different jobs. Not intended for the eyeglass screwdriver tip.
Large Screwdriver
A flat bladed screwdriver tooled from 420HC stainless steel, intended for use on larger slotted screws.
Small Screwdriver
A flat bladed screwdriver tooled from 420HC stainless steel, intended for use on small slotted screws.
Surge® Features
All Locking Features
All locking features means that every tool and knife on the body of the handle, with the exception of the plier head, will lock into place. Note that the Crunch; however, does feature both all locking tools and plier head. The all locking design enables the user to operate individual tools safely and effectively. By locking them into place when fully open, the user can put pressure on the implement while safely completing the job, before manually unlocking the tool to stow it away.
Lanyard Ring
This secure ring is for attaching the tool safely and securely to a lanyard. Often people who work near water or on scaffolding attach their tool to a lanyard on their person to avoid losing the tool if it's dropped.
Outside-accessible Features
This multi-tool features tools that are accessible while the tool is in its folded or closed position, mimicking the functionality of a pocket knife.
One-hand Operable Features
Every feature on this tool can be opened and operated with one hand. This enables the user to keep the other hand free for situations that require multi-tasking or a free hand.

Comments about Surge:
This replaced my old Wave, it's a big step up, Surge is a powerhouse of quality tools. Larger and stronger used at work, out at sea and at home. Also have a bit kit, this has got us out of a number of pickles.
The heavy duty scissors are excellent and the tiny jewellers screw drivers are surprisingly versatile. I'll reach for leatherman first and full sized tools only if it's defeated.
It really cannot be beaten and has travelled the world with me, it's only downfall is price Is price in the uk.

Comments about Surge:
I've been using the Surge for over a decade now, and carry it everywhere I go. I feel naked without it. I use every tool on it on a regular basis, and it's usually the only tool I need for most incidental repair and jury-rigging tasks. Bring a hammer and some allen wrenches and you're set for almost anything.
I have had some failures, but they're due to my own abuse of the tool. I've snapped the large flathead once and the pliers three times, trying to use them well beyond their design intent in all cases. In all I've bought I think three of them, and am now looking to get my fourth, hopefully the new redesigned one. It looks like the redesign will make the pliers stronger, since the hard insert allows the plier body to be a tougher alloy / heat treat.
My only other comment would be that the retention clip for the medium sized phillips / flathead bit keeps falling out, for which I substituted a dab of plumbers putty. It seems that may have been redesigned too, so I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on the new model. I have to applaud Leatherman for working to iron out these few kinks in an awesome product. If these few problems are solved by the new design it'll be darned near perfect! Now if I can only get one with a black oxide body and Titanium Nitrided blades...
Note to Webby: can't remove "Cnc Programmermachinist" from "Describe Yourself" section. Thanks.

Tax return preparers urged to schedule competency test as exam deadline nears8:54 am | October 3, 2012
The Internal Revenue Service is urging 6,964 Tennessee tax return preparers to immediately schedule their competency test or risk difficulty finding a date, time or location as the exam deadline nears next year. For most of these, the appropriate test will be the Registered Tax Return Preparer (RTRP) competency test.
Nationwide, more than 310,000 tax return preparers still need to pass the test before December 31, 2013.
The RTRP test has been available since November 2011 and is being administered at 260 testing sites nationwide. However, if too many preparers delay, available seats will be scarce.

The keeper made a good save with his feet from Lampard midway through the first half and again from Ba 10 minutes later but he could do nothing about the opening goal that whistled past him from close range. The second own goal was also past him before he could react and Lampard's penalty was emphatically put away. Could do nothing with Hazard's wonder strike.

Read an Excerpt
In the pale light of a wintry morning seven men saddled their ship across bucking white waves. A girl stood alone on the shore. Stiff and silent, with her fingers clenched into fists and her eyes creased into flashing slivers of blue ice, she watched them go. The others of her clan, those that still lived at least, had long since shouted their fare-you-wells. But they'd left their crumbs of hope at the ocean's edge to shuffle back to the village, slump-shouldered and spiritless. The girl remained, staring rigidly at the horizon.
As dawn edged across the ponderous gray sky, the ship grew smaller and smaller.... see more
Frost still rimed the wood planks of the byre door as Asa looped her fingers into the knothole. She threw her weight back in a succession of short jerks and it gradually came open, its cold hinges shrieking complaint.
A sour odor wrinkled her nose as she led Rune down the earthen ramp and into the dark, windowless shelter. None of the animals there greeted them; the cow merely flicked an ear, while her father's two horses swung their heads round for just a moment's dull gaze. Such a difference in a matter of months.
At summer's end, as was the custom, all of the clan's livestock had... see more
Jorgen held the smile on his face because she was looking at him and because it masked his real feelings. They were irritatingly strong feelings, feelings he couldn't quite control, and so he made himself smile while he sat thinking. And listening, always listening. And rocking.
She didn't fear him. That's what annoyed him the most. The others, even her pigeon-chested father, the clan's chieftain, could be made to move aside with a dark glance. It was a precious art, one he'd been polishing for many years now, and he wasn't about to let some child—a girl, no... see more

SMITH HOLDS ON TO LEAD IN BOYS DIVISION AT BELLEFONTE Girls Division tied going into final round
ASHLAND, Ky.Travis Smith of Terre Haute, Ind., held onto the lead in the Boys Division after shooting a 1-under-par 69 at the second round of the Natural Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior. Jessica Smith of Louisville, Ky., fired an 8-over-par 78 to share the lead with three others.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Natural Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior is a 54-hole stroke play event and is being held at the Bellefonte Country Club. The tournament features 90 boys and 30 girls, ages 12-18, from 22 states and Canada.
Smith, 18, carded four birdies and 29 putts to hold on to the lead. Smith says his putting is what got him through and he is now focusing on his long game.
I putted well today, Smith said. Tomorrow I just want to play smart and I want to hit a few more fairways than I did today.
Tied for second place are Drew Ernst of Seneca, S.C.,and Doug Wilkinson of Louisville, Ky., both three strokes behind Smith with 137s. Starting off the day with an eagle on No.1 and six birdies helped Ernst secure a strong second place position after shooting a 36 on the front nine and 29 on the back nine.
Shooting a second day score of 69 to tie for third was Cody Gribble of Dallas. Josh Jones of The Colony, Texas, carded out with a 66 to tie with Gribble going into Friday's final round.
Jessica Smith's short game kept her in contention for the lead in the Girls Division. Smith ended with three birdies, putting her 8-over on the day and 10-over-par through the second round.
Today was tougher, said Smith. My chipping has been really good, it saved me on some sprayed tee shots, my short game has been there for me.
Smith shares the lead with three others, all 10-over for the two days. Unlike Smith, Ashley Baker of Dublin, Ohio, who shot a 76 to go 10-over, said her short game was not what helped place her at the top.
Thirty-Eight putts killed me, Baker said. I want to be more consistent tomorrow.
Also sharing the lead with Smith and Baker are Tanya Wadhwa of Bradenton, Fla., and Whitney Neuhauser of Barboursville, Va. Neuhauser shot a 5-over-par 75 and Wadhwa carded a 3-over-par 73 to place them both in contention for the lead in the Girls Division.

I need some help.
I started with a perfectly working patched 3.0.x system with nitoTV internal and external USB HDD.
then plugged in a new 1.5TB HDD with FAT32 replacing the old one - it was mounted under /Volumes but shown as empty (which it isnt)
I then unmounted it and rebooted a couple of times
installed ATVFfiles and upgraded to latest nitoTV and tried some more
now when it boots it shows the Apple logo and then the animated startup but then the screen stays blank
it responds to ping but not to ssh
resolution changing via Menu - or going into diag with Menu + also works fine
It seems to respond to the remote - i.e. I get the click sound when I press the buttons
I dont really want to do a factory restore since there is unsaved data on the internal HDD
any ideas ?

I've never been in a lighthouse. But, I can't say that anymore. I just left Angels Gate Lighthouse. It's celebrating a big 100th birthday with a party Sunday at Cabrillo Beach. Allan Johnson, with Cabrillo Beach Boosters is maybe one of the tower's biggest boosters! He's the community group's Chief Financial Officer and is working to raise 1.8 million to rehabilitate the inside of the lighthouse. The outside was rehabbed a couple of years ago for the same amount. Combined that's $3.6 million dollars. Contrast that to the $36,000 it cost to build the lighthouse in 1913.
Angels Gate has been a guiding light for many cruise ships, oil tankers, fishing boats and others over the years. The shining light to signal where to enter the breakwater. It's solar-powered rotating green light coupled with 2 foghorn blasts every 30 seconds is the welcome to Los Angeles Harbor every vessel gets as it enters our waters.
Happy 100th Birthday Angels Gate!
If you wish to donate to the rehab fund you can do so at: cabrillobeachboosters.org.

Olive Garden one year later: Marilyn Hagerty reviews restaurant that launched her to Internet stardomGRAND FORKS - The Olive Garden is well into its second year in Grand Forks. Judging from the parking lot and the large number of people usually inside, the restaurant has settled in as one of the busiest.
By: Marilyn Hagerty, INFORUM
GRAND FORKS - The Olive Garden is well into its second year in Grand Forks. Judging from the parking lot and the large number of people usually inside, the restaurant has settled in as one of the busiest.
That's partly because the food is reasonable and partly because the sprawling Tuscany farmhouse-style restaurant has menus that appeal to all ages.
One year and one day have passed since I wrote my initial Eatbeat review of the Olive Garden on 32nd Avenue South in Grand Forks. That was March 7, 2012, and my world has not been the same. I went viral, and I didn't even know what that meant.
In the past year, I have learned.
First, there was the online critic who said the review was pathetic. Others followed, wondering why anyone would critique an Olive Garden restaurant. They couldn't know that I write about truck stops, fast-food places and all kinds of restaurants.
Then, there was a barrage of commentary from kind and gentle people. At one point,
1.3 million hits were reported. There were TV trucks from the "Today" show and "Piers Morgan" in my driveway and national television shows such as Anderson Cooper, Jay Leno and "Top Chef" on the line. And Anthony Bourdain was doing an about-face and praising my work. To top it all off, I received the Al Neuharth Award for excellence in journalism for 2012 that had gone before to the likes of Garrison Keillor and Walter Cronkite.
That is all in the background.
During the past year, I have been auctioned off for charities as a dining companion at the Olive Garden. And recently, I have gone there to write a follow-up.
Lunch, and specifically the soup and salad, are one of the big draws. Last week, I chose minestrone soup made with fresh vegetables, beans and pasta in a tomato broth. It was preceded to the table by a generous bowl of crisp salad with a sharp-tasting dressing. And there were warm breadsticks, freshly baked, in a basket.
All of this for $5.50 is a very good buy. It's a good buy even at $6.95, which you pay if you get refills. And this lunch item is available until 4 p.m.
Pluses and minuses: The food is predictable, down to the four or five black olives you find in the salad bowl. The vegetable soup is hearty and satisfying. Children are well-treated with color crayons and choices including a little cup of grapes as one of the side dishes.
The two menus, the spiel by the waiter and the commotion of nearby tables made it impossible to understand what was being offered when I went out for dinner last week at the Olive Garden.
So, I ordered the three-course Italian dinner now being featured for $12.95. You start with salad or soup. You have a choice of entrees, and I asked for penne di mare – shrimp and scallops in a seafood cream sauce topped with roasted Parmesan bread crumbs.
The seafood was there, but a little hard to find. There was more pasta than I could eat. The final touch was choice of dessert, and I selected the chocolate mousse cake – which was excellent. Not too sweet, not too rich and topped with a thin layer of chocolate frosting.
No longer a novelty in Grand Forks, the Olive Garden has settled in. It is constantly surrounded by cars and fares well in a restaurant area where there are two new eating places – Noodles & Co. and Erbert & Gerbert's. These also line up with McDonald's and the long-established Ground Round on the fringe of Columbia Mall.
Grand Forks' Olive Garden is one of 800 in a chain that was started by General Mills in Orlando, Fla., in 1982. It became a Darden Restaurant in 1995 and is part of a new trend of co-locating with its sibling Red Lobster restaurants in smaller cities.

Institute-funded study of transit security, begun before bombing attacks in Madrid and London, finds officials concerned about physical design of stations, riders' perceptions of risk. Europeans get higher marks for coordination than more secretive American officials.
Glass that doesn't reduce to shards. Inclined tops on vending machines. A clear line of sight down the platform. These are examples of "environmental design" upgrades that can make subway cars, trains, and stations less tempting targets for terrorists.
According to UCLA Urban Planning Chair Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, who led a team of researchers in a study of post-9/11 mass-transit security in the United States and foreign capitals, casualties in bombing attacks on mass transit result mainly from flying shrapnel, and replacing glass and other materials is cheaper than many upgrades. Good environmental design, which is easiest to achieve when transit stations are first built, also makes packages hard to hide and has the welcome side-effect of reducing petty crime.
Among U.S. transit officials, openness to the use of environmental design in security strategy has increased since Sept. 11, 2001, the study found. "A number of agencies said that they did not even think about it prior to 9/11," Loukaitou-Sideris said.
Study authors highlighted some key findings in an article in a recent issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of Public Transportation. Publication of the full study, entitled "Designing and Operating Safe and Secure Transit Systems: Assessing Current Practices in the U.S. and Abroad," is expected soon by the Mineta Transportation Institute, which co-sponsored the project with the Global Impact Research Initiative of the Ronald W. Burkle Center for International Relations at the UCLA International Institute.
The study included a survey of 113 U.S. transit agencies in 40 states and case studies based upon interviews with transit officials in the New York City metropolitan area, Paris, London, Madrid, and Tokyo. In addition to Loukaitou-Sideris, a specialist in urban design, key participants from the UCLA faculty were Brian D. Taylor, a transportation planner, and Robin Ligget, who produced a quantitative analysis of the survey data. Professors Martin Wachs of UC Berkeley and Peter Haas of San Jose State University were also on the research team. UCLA students pitched in by conducting interviews abroad.
Work on the study began late in 2003, months before nearly simultaneous bombing attacks on March 11, 2004, on four commuter trains in Madrid. The team submitted a full draft of the study a week before terrorists set off bombs on July 7, 2005, in London's Underground and on a double-decker bus.
The study contains groundwork for future discussions of transit security and enumerates ten "lessons learned," the first of which is that transit stations cannot be made perfectly secure. Large systems in particular are attractive targets and difficult to defend. In addition, transit officials repeatedly and sometimes anonymously confided that security was not and could not be their only concern when making policy on security-related issues.
Conflicts arise, for example, between security and more mundane safety considerations. Having trash cans in stations prevents fires on the tracks, but the containers are good places to hide bombs. Glass shatters in an explosion, but glass barriers also prevent fatalities from falls and pushings.
In Tokyo, officials reported that removing trash cans from subway stations made them easier to clean, apparently because riders carried their litter home with them—a lesson perhaps best lost on New York City officials, as Loukaitou-Sideris points out.
But even more often, the conflict is between security and system efficiency, according to the study. Airport-style security checks and metal detectors would deter terrorists but back up the system, and, as transit officials the world over know, overcrowded stations are dangerous places. What's more, riders do not put up with them. Unlike airlines' captive clientele, subway, train, and bus riders can take to their cars, with immediate financial consequences for transit agencies.
The most sensitive of all balancing acts involves what and how much to tell the public about security. Although she credits transit officials with making sincere efforts to protect riders, Loukaitou-Sideris also says that the officials repeatedly described security in terms of public relations. The goal of at least some security-related decisions, that is, is to stave off a decline in ridership.
"It was not surprising, but it was interesting to find out that what the transit agencies are in the business of doing is really giving the perception of security, and this was really very candidly admitted a number of times."
One contentious issue among policy-makers is whether to ask for passengers' assistance in identifying suspicious packages and other threats. In the United States, Loukaitou-Sideris said, educational campaigns designed to involve transit riders in security are not advanced.
Loukaitou-Sideris contrasted the approaches of officials in London who encourage input from riders and some in Madrid who fear that announcements about suspicious packages will scare people away. She prefers the British approach and argues that, with concerns about terrorism running high globally, "I don't think that announcements over the microphones are really going to scare people."
The British approach, she noted, has the drawback of overwhelming resources, as transit employees in London sometimes field hundreds upon hundreds of phone calls involving perceived threats.
Probably owing to greater experience with terrorism, European transit agencies displayed more capacity than their American counterparts to coordinate intelligence and policies, researchers found.
The Europeans were also more forthcoming in responses to researchers' questions. New York City officials, "understandably," Loukaitou-Sideris says, were the most tight-lipped. Researchers did not inquire about some sensitive issues, including details of police deployments and strategies.

Night on the Town
The blur of activity that's transformed Toronto's west end continues in 2010, although the Ossington Street strip is facing potential legislation to limit the number and capacity of new nightspots there. On Queen Street West, check out new recruit Blondie's -- independent coffee bar by day, and, new liquor license finally in hand, sweaty house club by night. Join the slow food movement at The Local Kitchen. Feast on Indian at the newly repurposed Om. Still pending is the highly anticipated opening of the westernmost live venue on Queen Street, Parts & Labour. From upscale speakeasies to true rummy bars, Toronto offers more variety than any other Canadian city. No matter what your preferred vibe, you'll find a niche you fit into without venturing too far.
Day on the Town
Even if the recent war between transit system operators and riders doesn't result in a kindler, gentler ride, public transit is the best option for taking in annual music fests CMW and NXNE, The Toronto International Film Festival or any of Toronto's cultural institutions. Toronto's shopping, art and live music scenes are keeping pace with the growing popularity of neighborhoods like Parkdale, Leslieville and The Junction. In 2010, you'll find groundbreaking and controversial works at the AGO's spring opening of Sculpture As Time, and China's Terracotta Army on the march at the ROM. If your tastes run to art, you can afford to troll the storefront galleries along Queen West. In between galleries, find art you can wear at a growing number of vintage and independent clothing shops that have fled west to escape the rising commercial rents in the downtown core brought on by a wave of incoming chain stores.
Fresh Air Factor
Toronto's rep as the city that cut an entire segment of its population off from the lake is old news. In fact, the city government recently endorsed a plan to increase the amount of protected green space within the city. Between the Don Valley trails and a series of interconnected greenbelts throughout the city, the Martin Goodman trail to the west, and The Beach, Leslie Spit, and the Scarborough bluffs to the east, you don't necessarily have to hit the streets to get around, and you don't necessarily have to leave town to feel as though you have.

Playlist for Villa and Blackpool games
- 28 December 2010 08:26
- Posted byUmbro Playlist
Two big games at home for City over the Christmas period, with Aston Villa and Blackpool both visiting Eastlands as 2010 turns into 2011.
We've got two Umbro Playlists for you over that period as well, as we look to cheer on the team with some great tunes.
With the fixture double header, we asked you to submit two different Playlists, with two different winners being chosen. The situation was ideal for a theme of beginnings and endings, so we asked you to pick a trio of top tracks that open albums, and three favourites from the close of a record.
Some great choices were put forward as usual, but we picked these two winners from the pile:
For the Aston Villa game, Stuart Barstow chose…
I Wanna Be Adored by The Stone Roses
London Calling by The Clash
Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones
Three great openers! For the Blackpool game, James Pugh picked….
Cold Desert by Kings Of Leon
I Get Along by The Libertines
Stand Up by The Prodigy
Some fantastic tracks for warming us all up on New Year's Day! Congratulations to both Stuart and James, who both win a pair of tickets to the game and the chance to hear their tunes in the ground on the day.
Next up for City at Eastlands after this double header is the visit of Wolves on January 15
For this game, we've got another great theme for the Umbro Playlist – we want you to choose three top tracks with animals in them. Whether it's the name of the band or the song itself, three tunes featuring animals for the visit of Wolves please!
Submissions will be open on the official City facebook page very soon!

I love this dress! I bought the berry color and it un-lined and not see-thru. I plan to wear it to a concert with some cowboy boots. I'm normally a 4/6 (34B, 127 lbs and 5'6). I might've been able to wear the small, too, but I'll keep the medium I ordered. LOVE it!
Best Uses
Do not buy this dress in white unless you are looking to use it as a cover up. It is completely see through. Unfortunate because it is an adorable dress. I will definitely be returning and exchanging for burgundy.

Remote wilderness exploration and Glacier Bay National Park highlight this active Alaskan cruise adventure.

Enjoy hearty and healthy five-star cuisine on board, fueling you before and after each day's activities. The dramatic landscapes and unspoiled nature that this journey will expose you to will surely captivate your interest and imagination.
3 days of exploration in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve with a Park Ranger, wildlife and whale watching, glacier calving, inflatable skiff excursions, paddle boarding, snorkeling and beachcombing, naturalist-led presentations and discussions.

Meet your driver for a private airport transfer.
The Westmark Sitka Hotel (3*) located near the harbor in the heart of downtown, offers comfortable lodging and fine dining in an environment designed to reflect these local cultural influences. The hotel offers simple but comfortable accommodations, decorated in local Native art. The Raven Dining Room and Kadataan Lounge are considered by residents to be the best in town. For those who want to work out the hotel provide a fitness center.
Enjoy a first-class experience! A knowledgeable, local native will be your personal guide as you explore Baranof Island in a private vehicle. You will pass by many of Sitka's historic sites including Mt. Edgecumbe Volcano, the Alaska Pioneer's Home and St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Cathedral. Visit the Sitka National Historical Park, where you have the option of following your guide along a scenic pathway where Totem poles impart the rich culture of the Tlingít. Step into the lush rainforest and see historic Indian River, one of Sitka's many salmon spawning streams. Your guide will discuss totem significance, edible and medicinal plants of the rainforest, traditional uses of salmon and rainforest ecology. The walk leads into the Southeast Alaska Indian Cultural Center. Inside, you can visit with Tlingít Native artisans practicing traditional arts such as carving, beading and weaving. The adjacent gift shop gives you the opportunity to purchase various souvenirs and books on the park's totems and Tlingít history. Reserved seating at the Naa Kahídi Native Dance Performance will ensure superior viewing and photo opportunities. Inside a traditional style Tlingít Clan House, the performance begins with the telling of an ancient story while a burning cedar fire tantalizes your senses. Dancers enter adorned in beautiful regalia to entertain you with songs passed down through the generations. The resonating box drum and unique series of songs will captivate you and impart a lasting impression of the Tlingít people. You will have the opportunity to photograph and visit with dancers immediately following the performance, as well as visit the Made in Sitka artist co-op and gift shop. The final destination is the Alaska Raptor Center a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public and providing medical treatment for birds of prey. Trained facility staff will introduce you to a variety of natural exhibits, with more than 20 living "Raptors-in-Residence" that include bald and golden eagles, hawks, falcons and owls. During your visit, you will have the unparalleled opportunity to closely observe these majestic creatures. Inside the Alaska Raptor Center is a unique gift shop that caters to things aviary – including eagle t-shirts, jackets, carvings, bird books, toys and more. Adult participants of the Best of Sitka excursion receive Alaskan hors d'oeuvres, bottled water, and a souvenir of Devil's Club ointment, a locally prepared medicinal salve. Child participants will receive a locally made Theobroma chocolate bar in lieu of the Devil's Club ointment.
Welcome aboard! In the late afternoon, meet the crew, settle in, and relax with your shipmates today. Within minutes you'll cross some very scenic channels, heading toward the Peril Strait.
Please note: the cruise itinerary represents a guideline only. Actual daily stops and activities may alter depending on seasonality and weather conditions as assessed by the captain.
The Wilderness Explorer is a small expedition vessel capable of nimble exploration through nature's most dramatic hideaways. In total, the 166-foot ship accommodates up to 76 guests in 38 cabins. The shallow draft and hull design allows easy access to Southeast Alaska's wildlife-rich shores and glacially-fed inlets, and also serve as an ideal launching pad for an exciting array of daily adventure excursions. Newly renovated, the interior spaces offer contemporary colours, while both public and private spaces are loaded with amenities.
Running 50 miles from Chatham Strait to Salisbury Sound, the Peril Strait, a haven for small ships, is scenically highlighted by a very narrow connecting passageway called Sergius Narros and an opening at Hoonah Sound. This wildlife-rich waterway is a great place to explore the shoreline for bear, the waters for otters and whales, and to watch for eagles. The passage narrows to only 300 feet in one spot.
Meander along the waterfall coast of Chichagof Island. In the spirit of expedition un-cruising, marvel at the grand scenery as the crew expertly guides you through the hidden treasures of the region. In the evening you could be anchored in Red Bluff Bay, or perhaps you've discovered a new remote shelter providing another grand opportunity to lower the kayaks and skiffs.
Set your course for arguably the richest whale waters in Southeast Alaska. Join the Captain on the bridge or the expedition leaders/naturalists out on deck in search of marine mammals, primarily in the Icy Strait / Pt. Adolphus area. Ride the skiffs for a closer inspection of the remote coastline with eyes set on the shoreline for possible bear and other wildlife sightings.
Early morning, you'll enter Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve. Here you'll pick up the National Park ranger who will be with you to explore coves and corners of the bay that most visitors miss. Here in the bay there are sea lions, mountain goats, bears, moose, eagles, and spectacular scenic backdrops. One of America's crown jewel national parks will be yours to explore and marvel at for the next three days. Enjoy two consecutive evenings in virtual isolation inside Glacier Bay at anchor in a hidden cove, as larger vessels have exited the bay.
Linger near South Marble Island and spot the many species of birds that call this area home, keeping your eyes on the water and the island for brightly-coloured puffins. After searching for more wildlife, stop at the Park Service's Heardquarters at Bartlett Cove for a hike through the rainforest or possibly a native cultural presentation.
Tidewater glaciers sweep like rivers of ice down massive mountain valleys, terminating before you in the waters of Glacier Bay. Conditions permitting, you'll also have a rare opportunity to hike or kayak or tour via shore boat.After an adventurous day, toast your voyage with a festive farewell dinner and a photo journal of your trip, presented by your expedition leaders.
This morning you will cruise into Juneau for disembarkation. Enjoy a transfer once you're back on land.
With your private driver-guide, explore Juneau on a half-day city tour of the capital of Alaska. Make your way toward Mendelhall Glacier Recreation Area to see Juneau's most famous glacier- a 1.5 mile wide gargantuan calving into its own lake. Stop at Chapel by the Lake, a 60 year-old log cabin church with an amazing view of Auke Lake and Mendelhall Glacier through its picture window. Another point of interest is the Saint Nicholas Russion Orthodox Church, Alaska's oldest church still in operation, with its construction in 1893. The downtown core of Alaska provides plenty of shopping options, or for the more historically-inclined, a stop at the Alaska State Museum covers the breadth of Alaska's state history, native cultures, art, industry, and wildlife. Admissions not included.
Built in 1906, Alaska's Capital Inn Bed and Breakfast (3*) sits high on the hillside overlooking Juneau. This restored gold rush era home offers the finest in overnight accommodations and a real bed & breakfast experience during your stay. The Inn is conveniently located in a historic residential neighborhood overlooking the downtown area.
Meet your driver for an airport transfer with private vehicle.

"Dear David,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting together the magnificent Antarctica Tour that my daughter and I just finished. Every detail worked perfectly from the time we got on the plane at SeaTac airport in Seattle, until the time we returned to SeaTac.
Giselle Lopez, the excellent tour guide in Buenos Aires was waiting for us at the airport there with a car and driver. Her half day tour of the city was excellent--she is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. When we checked into our hotel room, it was just great--and then we turned on the TV to a local news channel and were greeted with the news that a new pope had just been chosen and he was from Argentina! (How did you arrange the timing on that?) The location of our Hotel Madero was perfect for a short walk in the vicinity. That evening, in spite of a horrific traffic jam, our driver arrived on time to take us to Rojo Tango. Next morning we were taken to the airport right on schedule.
We were met in Ushuaia by a guide and van who took us on a tour of the National Park. Again we were fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide. Las Hayas Hotel is definitely a winner. Our room was deluxe and dinner couldn't have been finer. Next morning we took a cab into Ushuaia for some shopping and lunch. Our driver met us a promised at the Hotel Albatross and delivered us to our cruise ship (our bags had been picked up that morning by the cruise company at Las Hayas).
The Russian cruise ship, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, was another winner. We had a lovely cabin (my daughter insists it was the best one on the ship because of size and location). Surprisingly, many of the Staff were from Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, which made for a lot of conversation for us. Again the Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and took special care of this 80-year-old little lady. The lectures on board were great, the food delicious, the guests delightful. The Russian crew were a delight taking care of our needs efficiently and quietly.
Antarctica is so very special and spectacular. We came home with so many amazing photos and videos. We have been regaling our friends with our adventures.
From the time we left the cruise ship in Ushuaia til I walked in my front door, it was 33-1/2 hours! Next time could you arrange for Scottie to "beam us up?"
Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly amazing once in a lifetime adventure. I hope to call on you again in the future.

"We have now returned from our splendid tour: Munich to Budapest. Thank you very much indeed. It exceeded all our expectations, even the weather cooperated. Every driver and guide was on time – even early – and was efficient and friendly. We were surprised that the tour was so "private" and personal. The networking between your office and local enterprises works very well. The ship's crew and services were impressive. So thank you again. We will certainly recommend you to our friends."

This press release is an announcement submitted by DiabetesSisters.org, and was not written by Diabetes Health.
RALEIGH, NC- DiabetesSisters is pleased to announce that registration for the 2011 Weekend for Women Conference in Raleigh, NC will open on January 1, 2011 at 8am. The Conference, a revolutionary national weekend conference designed specifically for women with diabetes, will take place April 29 - May 1, 2011 at the Marriott City Center in downtown Raleigh.
The Weekend for Women Conference is open to all women with diabetes age 18 and older. Participants will attend educational sessions on gender-specific topics related to diabetes treatment and management (such as pregnancy, body image, concurrent illnesses, nutrition, physical fitness), engage with other women living successfully with diabetes, receive unbiased information on the emergence of new equipment and medications, and learn new tactics for improving their mental and physical health. The Conference Exhibit Hall will be open from 8am-5pm on Saturday, April 30th.
To kick off the educational sessions on Saturday morning, the seated breakfast will feature nationally renowned singer and entertainer, Gloria Loring. Ms. Loring is the recording artist of the #1 hit song Friends and Lovers; co-composer of television theme songs Diff'rent Strokes and Facts of Life; an audience favorite from daytime TV's Days of Our Lives; mother of a child with diabetes; spokesperson for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation; and author of four books about diabetes, including Kids, Food, and Diabetes, Parenting a Child with Diabetes, and Living with Type 2 Diabetes: Moving Past the Fear.
Registration for the Conference is offered at a subsidized rate of $100 and includes all meals and snacks on Saturday (including the Celebration of Strength Dinner), breakfast on Sunday, attendance at all eight educational sessions, and many other giveaway items. Conference registration must be made online at www.diabetessisters.org. A discounted group rate of $99 per night has been secured at Marriott City Center. Hotel reservations can be made using group code DSSDSSA by phone at 1-888-236-2427 or online at http://cwp.marriott.com/rdumc/diabetessisters2011.
"The Weekend for Women Conference was like no conference I have ever attended before! I was surrounded by women like me-women with diabetes...all types of diabetes from all over the US. It was motivational...and so educational!" said Markee Flint, 2010 Weekend for Women Conference attendee.
Women with diabetes face unique challenges with fluctuating blood sugars due to the hormones of menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Most women with diabetes are not educated about their increased health risks--such as heart disease, clinical depression, osteoporosis, eating disorders, and body image disorders. For example, women with diabetes are up to five times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than are women who do not have diabetes. These consequences are serious; deaths from cardiovascular disease in women with diabetes have increased by 23 percent over the past 30 years, while the death rate from cardiovascular disease has dropped by 27 percent in women without diabetes.
"The unique needs of women with diabetes have been overlooked for far too long and this Conference is filling a void in our current healthcare system. It is always wonderful to see women coming together to support and educate each other," said Brandy Barnes, Founder and CEO of DiabetesSisters
Sponsors of the 2011 Weekend for Women Conference include Sanofi-Aventis, Roche Diagnostics, Novo Nordisk, Terry & Louise Gregg, Lifescan, GlaxoSmithKline, Abbott Diabetes, Bayer Diabetes, Dexcom, Medtronic, Kerr Health, and the North Carolina Diabetes Advisory Council. For more information about sponsoring or exhibiting at the Conference, please contact Brandy Barnes, DiabetesSisters' Founder/CEO at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Democrats Welcome Two New Congressmen As GOP Makes Gains in GovernorshipsNovember 4, 2009 12:00 PM
While Republicans in Virginia and New Jersey won their state's governorships, Democrats proved victorious in two big money Congressional special elections Tuesday in California and New York. Democrat Bill Owens triumphed over Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman by about 3 percentage points in New York, and Democrat John Garamendi beat Republican David Harmer in California.
- Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense CommitteesFebruary 12, 2009 1:55 PM
The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
