I've been struggling to blog lately. There are many reasons for this, the main one being that I finally got a job. I'm a receptionist at a small production/distribution company and I'm excited about it and what it could become. I'm glad to be employed, but I know that a job taking up my time isn't the reason I've been quiet around here lately. Even before I got the "You're hired" phone call I had been having troubles putting my thoughts into posts.
It's frustrating to me that I can't seem to express myself in the same way that I used to. For the past month or so I've written multiple blog posts that have never seen the light of day. I kept trying to be timely and failing. I wrote posts about the How I Met Your Mother finale, the Divergent movie, and Captain America: The Winter Solider. I have so many thoughts on these things, but I can't seem to articulate them well enough to feel confident in hitting publish.
I want to talk at length about how much I adore Shailene Woodley's hippie-ness. I want to have deep discussions about the Marvel cinematic universe. What the last few films will mean for the next ones. How they are tying the movies into Agent's of SHIELD. How SHIELD is finally starting to pull on my heartstrings. But I can't seem to come up with the words.
Even beyond media I never got around to writing up a post about my writing goals for this quarter. I'm sure if/how they change in balance with working full time, but I can't even seem to outline it for myself. Using my phone alarms to be on time, a new planner, how I'm dealing with buying a car; all things I've written on our thought about writing on, but haven't gotten out the way I want to.
My frustrations are because I know that I'm not where I want to be. I know I could be doing better. But I've lost track of how to do it. So I want to say that I'm not putting any pressure on myself to write, but I'm starting to see that route is going to get me NOWHERE, so it's time to rethink.
It's time to plan and organize and figure out what's reasonable within my new schedule and current commitments. I don't know the answer yet, but this post it a declaration that I'm going to try. I love my job, but I know that I want to do more with myself than just get by, it's not going to be easy, but I know I'll be better for it.

The USD/JPY pair fell during the Friday session to keep within the recent consolidative area as the markets go back and forth. It is a well-known fact that the Bank of Japan has clandestinely intervened in this pair before, and it was near this area as well. Is because of this that we suggest that perhaps they are defending the 78 handle at this point in time, and also because of the gradually up sloping movement of the markets.
With this being said, it does kind of look like we are starting to form a bearish flag, but we happen to know that this is a massive area of support and the Bank of Japan has admitted to clandestinely intervening in this area before. Because of that, we are banking on the fact that the BoJ will continue to work against the value of the Yen. We think that playing this range should continue to be fruitful, and if we can get above the highs from Thursday we suspect that this market will move to the 80 handle and relatively quick order.
Remember, the Bank of Japan has an unlimited amount of Yen that a can sell in theory, and as such it does look like the markets exhausting itself trying to break this pair down. One of the main reasons that this pair could be falling is simply because people believe that the Federal Reserve is going to start monetary easing policies back up in September. If for some reason they don't, this pair will absolutely skyrocket. In fact, it will probably be the best trade of the year.
However, they can also disappoint by not easing enough. This is the more likely scenario, as we think that the Fed has shown time and time again that it is willing to give the market whatever it wants. However, it's very likely that will give it as much as it wants. This should continue to support this pair and we think that higher prices are in the future. If for some reason we do break below the 78 handle, we certainly for supportive action is intervention becomes a higher threat.

One way that gang activity and violence is changing the face of Seattle for everyone. A friend bought a condo on South Jackson and 28th Ave. Until this spring, there were trees on the street. Now there are stumps. She found out that the trees had recently been cut down because gang members were using them for cover in shootings.
This effects everyone's quality of life, particularly as gang activity has proliferated over the last couple of years and occasionally pops up in unexpected locales such as Queen Anne and Northgate. Recent news reports have also made a point to link our greenery to increased risk for assault.

In a band? Got a cell phone? AWWWW SHIT! That text feed is running your life isn't it?
If you are not in a band, imagine that your fantasy football league is the thing you are most passionate about and it lasts for your whole life. Here's a glimpse into our Pet Fangs band text…
There's a feed that includes everyone in the band as well as our producer / engineer, Justin Tocket. It started innocently enough as a way to get everyone's schedules lined up and get on the same page about general band business. Now it's just a mess! It goes on all hours and details every inside joke we have.
If I decide to go in a grocery store for 20 minutes and leave my phone in the car, I'm at risk of missing like 30 texts. My brother Dave sometimes sends a screenshot of his iPhone that has a number like 43 on the text button and then he just types "fuckers." But here's the thing: no one leaves the conversation! I think we all have a co-dependency issue with the damn text feed. We've been writing and recording for months. We're only now getting to the point where we are planning live shows. I recently joked that we aren't a real band; we are a text feed who gets together to drink beer! (We do a lot more than drink beer, but it's true, we do drink a lot of beer. Our band motto is Cerveza all day, sir.)
Anyway, my wife is starting to resent the band… can you guess why? The music? Nope, she loves it. The beer? Nope, she prefers wine but she can hang with the big boys at the bar. It's because she's starting to hear my goddam "noir" text tone in her dreams!
Did I mention the side texts? Good Lawd! Stuff like, "Hey, I just wanted to bounce over and see if anyone told Ben about the video?" "Yeah yeah, I told him," and then right back over to the main one.
Speaking of Ben, he's toured with some big artists and he confided in us that our group text pales in comparison. And guess what? The tours are over, but the texts are still going STRONG! Now, when I produce other bands, I ask in my contract to not be included in their group texts.
Then there's the instagram group feed titled "Pet Fangs Inspo." That one started with cool graphic design posts and album covers. Now it's just insta models in bikinis!
Back to the text, though. Let's talk about Jory our bass player. He's on his computer a lot editing his photos and films so he texts from the MacBook, and FAST!! And in bursts of 2 to 3 word sentences. I've considered sending him a 1-word-at-a-time side text saying:
I love my band and I laughed and smiled as I wrote all this. I used to hate that damn feed and it gave me a lot of anxiety. Now, I'm not sure I could live without it. I would certainly miss it.

Ozone, Climate Change, and Our Health
Ozone, Climate Change, and Our Health
This blog post was contributed by Katya Hafich, an education and outreach coordinator for Learn More About Climate, an initiative of the University of Colorado Boulder Office for Outreach and Engagement.
Ground-level ozone (a.k.a "bad" ozone) is harmful to humans and plants. Ozone can make it difficult to breath, especially for those with asthma or other respiratory infections. High levels of ground-level ozone are hazardous for all people, but the young and elderly are often most affected. When an Ozone Action Alert is issued because of high ozone levels, the young and elderly are encouraged to stay inside and plan outdoor exercise early in the morning when ozone levels are lowest.
While people can go inside on Ozone Action Alert days, plants cannot. Spikes in ozone levels are dangerous to people, but for plants that are outside all of the time, long term exposure to ozone is what causes damage. What's so cool about the ozone garden is that we can see ozone damage accumulate on leaves as plants are exposed to ozone day after day.
Many scientific studies have shown that ozone can form more easily on hot days. As our climate warms, we can expect more hot days, higher concentrations of ozone, and increasing risk to human and plant health. Careful monitoring of ozone sensitive plants can show how ozone damage changes from year to year.
To learn more about the impact of climate change on ozone, listen to this short story from Yale Climate Connections.
Below are pictures of what the ozone garden at the University of Colorado Boulder looks like this week. (Learn more about the ozone gardens in Boulder, Colorado.)

RICS UK Residential Market Survey, January 2014
During January, the number of houses coming onto the market for sale in Scotland remained steady, says the RICS January Residential Market Survey.
Last month a net balance of 27 percent more chartered surveyors reported an increase in new instructions. Despite this, the amount of potential buyers continued to surge ahead of supply for the ninth consecutive month, with a net balance of 37 percent of respondents reporting a growth in demand. However, some surveyors note that supply is expected to increase as we enter the traditional 'spring bounce'.
With the gap between steady supply and rising demand not seeing any considerable change, house prices continued to grow. During January, a net balance of 38 percent more respondents across Scotland reported an increase in prices, with the cost of a home now rising since May 2013.
Chartered surveyors also noted the continued positive impact of the Home Report on the housing market in Scotland, with 78 percent of respondents reporting that it has reduced the need for multiple surveys.
Sarah Speirs, Director RICS Scotland, commented: "Prices are on the up in Scotland and this is driven largely by a lack of properties coming onto the market. With a growing number of people now in a position to buy a home, there are simply not enough properties to satisfy demand. The upshot of this is that prices are increasing in many areas. However, RICS members do expect an increase in supply in the coming months as the traditional spring bounce begins to take effect.
"RICS Scotland continues to work closely with the Scottish Housing Commission to address the issues of housing supply and demand in Scotland. The Commission's findings will be published in April 2014."
Looking ahead, the more positive outlook continues with a net balance of 49 percent more chartered surveyors predicting transaction numbers in Scotland to increase over the coming three months, while expectations for future prices are also strongly positive.
Kevin J MacDonald, Graham + Sibbald, Inverness, commented: "Momentum has been maintained during January which is indicative of rising confidence with competitive bids, closing dates and more encouraging prices."

Candied Yams - A comfort food conversion (from the cookbook)
In the cookbook, I have many recipes which I call "Comfort Food Conversions." They are lightened up versions of the original. Although they are not "low calorie, low sugar, or low fat" they are still better for you versions - and with all the taste.
4 medium sweet potatoes
4 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1 ½ tsp. cinnamon
¼ c. sliced almonds
1 c. miniature marshmallows
cinnamon to sprinkle on top
Boil sweet potatoes whole until fork tender. Let cool. Peel and place in bowl. Add the condensed milk and cinnamon and blend with a mixer until smooth. Spread mixture into an 8" square shallow dish. Top with a single layer each of the almonds and then the marshmallows. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees approximately 25 minutes or until marshmallows are melted and golden brown.
Serves: 6
Nutritional: Per serving - 198.5 calories; 3.7 g fat; 17% calories from fat
Comments: Traditional candied yams are fattening because of all the butter. Sweet potatoes on their own are actually very good for you, containing a good amount of vitamins and nutrients. By making them this way, you are still getting an awesome flavor (even passes the kids' test) and a lot less fat!

Almond Raspberry Cake
1 1/2 cups almond meal (you can also use cashew meal - really any nut flour would probably do)
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs (yolks & whites separated)
1/3 cup part skim ricotta cheese
1 Tbsp almond butter
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp pure almond extract
1/3 cup Swerve (sugar replacement) divided
1/3 cup Swerve (sugar replacement) divided
Pinch of fine sea salt
3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a spring-form pan, with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and spread almond flour on it. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and toast for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat together egg yolks, ricotta cheese, almond butter, almond extract, lemon zest and 1/6 cup Swerve until smooth. In a separate bowl whisk together the almond flour and baking powder(I actually did this on the baking sheet). Add the flour mixture to egg yolk mixture and beat until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites on medium high speed until they start to increase in size. Once that happens, add a pinch of fine sea salt and slowly add the remaining 1/6 cup of Swerve. Continue to beat until soft peaks form.
Fold egg white mixture into the almond mixture a little bit at a time. Then carefully stir in the raspberries. Once fully incorporated, pour the batter into the prepared spring-form pan and place into the oven to bake for approximately 20 minutes until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean. The sides and top should also start to become golden in color.
Note that cooking time will vary based on your size pan. I use a 10" pan which results in a thin cake and a 20 min bake time. If you use a smaller pan, increase your cooking time in 5 min increments until done.
I love this cake as is, and as such I chose not to make a raspberry sauce for the top. It is perfect with a cup of coffee for dessert or for a morning treat. Enjoy!

Carrot & Apple Soup
1 large russet baking potato (peeled)
5 medium carrots (peeled)
1 small - medium gala apple (peeled)
1/4 of a medium sweet onion
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil (I use extra virgin, but whatever you have will do)
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves - divided (Important note here: use fresh, not dried. There's a definite taste difference. )
Salt & pepper to taste
2 cups filtered water
Paprika & thyme sprigs for garnish (optional)
Slice all veggies and apple into equal size pieces. I like to slice mine thin so that they cook faster, but the most important thing is that they're the same size. Heat oil in medium sauce pan over medium-high heat, add onion, potato, carrots and apple. Add in crushed red pepper and salt/pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally until everything is slightly tender, yet still has a bite to it. You should also get some browning in the bottom of the pan at this point. (If it seems like everything is cooking too quickly, lower the heat closer to medium.) Once you've reached this point, add in 1/2 the thyme and let cook for another minute or so. Add the water, cover and allow to boil over med-high heat until everything is very soft. It's important to cook until very soft versus fork tender to ensure a smooth consistency. Turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly in pan.
Then purée either in your blender or with an emersion blender.
I have a Blendtec, and in that I pulsed a couple of times to combine, then blended at speed 1 for 15 seconds and then on speed 5 for another 15 seconds. The main thing is to purée until it is super smooth.
Stir in the rest of the thyme and add more salt/pepper if needed. Pour into 4 individual bowls and garnish with paprika and thyme sprigs.

Almond "Joyous" Butter
Sometimes, you just really want a candy bar, but don't want all the processed junk that comes with it. Don't fear! I've come up with a great treat that satisfies those cravings while offering heart healthy ingredients! My Almond "Joyous" Butter really hits the spot, and can be enjoyed straight out of the jar!
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup almonds
16 dark chocolate chips
If using a high powered blender such as a Blendtec or a Vitamix, simply add ingredients to your blender jar and process until smooth. This can usually be accomplished in a couple of minutes. If using a food processor, add all ingredients to the processor bowl, and process on high for 20 minutes. You can process for only 15 minutes, but going the full 20 will give you a smooth and creamy consistency.
Seving size: 1 Tbsp
Serves 6
Per serving: 90 calories, 7 grams heart healthy fat, 5 grams carbs and 3 grams protein.

In my last post, I wrote about the effect of blue light on the circadian rhythm (the body's biological clock that sets the function for sleep and wake). It is amazing the role the circadian rhythm plays everyday in human and animal lives; clock genes control everything from organ function to eating cycles. But did you know that the circadian rhythm even affects whether or not you get up in the middle of the night to pee! And, did you know that your hair follicles can tell a lot about your sleep/wake habits? It's true! Keep reading to find out what scientists have discovered.
In a recent study in Nature Communications, researchers looked at nocturnal enuresis (loss of urine during sleep in childhood) and nocturia (undesired waking at night to urinate, which afflicts 60-90% of people over 60 years). Nocturnal enuresis and nocturia are due to a mismatch between urine production in the kidneys and available storage in the bladder. Scientists compared mice genetically engineered to be without two circadian genes, Cryptochrome-1 andCryptochrome-2 (which results in a dysfunctional circadian rhythm), against normal mice. They discovered that the circadian gene called Rev-erbα controlled the production of Cx43, a protein that determines how much urine bladders hold. Though both the normal and genetically engineered mice put out the same volume of urine, the normal mice urinated more frequently when awake, compared with when they slept, while the genetically engineered mice urinated regardless of the time of day or night.
In the normal mice, researchers noted that Rev-erba produced more Cx43 during the day and decreased production at night. They concluded that even though the amount of urine produced didn't change, the amount of Cx43 available determined how much room the bladder had to hold the amount of urine; more room at night and less room during the day. Researchers believe this disruption to the circadian rhythm is worth considering when studying nocturnal enuresis and nocturia, as it shows the disruption is not simply caused by a higher intake of fluids during the day.
A study in the April issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences looked at the effects of anesthesia post-surgery. An estimated "234 million operations requiring anesthesia occur around the world each year," yet, the actions that occur to cause the sleep effect remain a mystery. The effects of anesthetics on the brain mimics some features of sleep and recent evidence indicates anesthetics are working, in part, on the same brain centers involved in the control of sleep, and that they may take over the sleep-controlling pathways in order to cause unconsciousness. Still, a patient awaking from general anesthesia wakes differently from a person awaking from a night's sleep. Patients feel as though no time has passed and are disorientated.
For this study, researchers administered the anesthetics to honeybees. It is not new for researchers to use animals and insects to study how anesthetics work on humans. However, the honeybee is special in that its circadian rhythm determines at what time to forage for nectar and aids in navigation to and from the hive. Because of this, you can tell what time a honeybee thinks it is just by their behavior. No other mammal can do that.
The researchers used isoflurane, a common anesthetic used in surgeries, to drug the honeybees. After 6 hours of dosing, scientists tested the honeybees ability to navigate back to the hive. Because honeybees use both the position of the sun and their circadian rhythm for navigation, researchers expected the post-dosing honeybees they released in Germany and New Zealand to be off-course. And indeed they were roughly 90° off in the Southern Hemisphere and 62° off in the Northern Hemisphere. Researchers also noted an up to 3-hour delay in honeybees foraging for nectar post dosing.
Scientists also looked at the genetic effects of the anesthesia on the honeybees and found that mRNA (molecules carrying protein-building instructions) for two of the three clock genes was delayed between 4 and 5 hours after anesthesia. But, this only happened to honeybees dosed during the daytime, as honeybees dosed at night did not exhibit the same mRNA delay. This means, that isoflurane is time-dependent and the effect of the anesthetic on the circadian clock depends on the state of the clock when administered.
After waking from a few surgeries of my own, I can relate to this feeling of time lost. I feel you honeybee. And I thank you because, not only do you supply yummy honey, you helped demonstrate how the most commonly used anesthetic in the world causes a major shift of the circadian clock and that this effect can last for days post dosage. This information can alert the medical profession to monitor post-surgery patients who may be experiencing a form of "anesthesia-induced jet lag" which can have harmful consequences on patients physiology and metabolism. Armed with the knowledge of the effects on the circadian clock and treating those effects can certainly help post-surgery recovery.
And, finally (for this post. I guarantee more studies out there and coming up on circadian rhythm. I will very likely blog when I find them because they are fascinating!) I was a little more than surprised to find a 2010 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences connecting hair and circadian rhythm. Yes. Hair.
In order to thoroughly understand the circadian rhythm, scientists must look at the circadian clock gene expression. Usually, this is done by examining white blood cells and oral secretions; at the time of the 2010 study, no simple method was available. But, a team of Japanese scientists decided to focus on the hair from scalps and beards, which contains cell-rich follicles that remain attached to the hairs even after plucking. Extracting RNA from the cells, they discovered that circadian gene activities peaked when subjects were awake, and early risers showed earlier peaking. Researchers then asked test subjects to disrupt their sleep-wake cycles by rising 4 hours later than normal and using bright light to mimic sunlight. After 3 weeks, the hair follicles circadian genes had also shifted by about 2.5 hours.
The scientists also looked at shift workers who alternated weeks working the 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift one week and the 3 p.m. to midnight shift the next week. The researchers found that circadian gene activity lagged 5 hours behind the workers' lifestyles.
Examining hair follicles provided more reliable results than white blood cells (which experienced time delays during cell separation processing which can affect levels of expression of clock genes) and oral secretions (which were severely fragmented and so provided unreliable results that could not be repeated). The study of hair follicles is also a less invasive way to monitor patient's circadian genes for medical problems they may be facing. And, it may offer more reliable results with less discomfort to the patient. Even better, the clock gene expression profiling data in this study revealed phenotypes from both internal and environmental factors. This even further aids in determining if the patient's disorder is due to environmental factors (lifestyle) and/or endogenous factors (internal or genetic clock disfunctions).
Wow! Three major studies in two years. I now want to read more about the circadian rhythm. Tell me if you know of any interesting studies!

Grumpy Panda Coffee Bar & Diner
Tyne And Wear
Tel: 0191 5111567
Grumpy Panda Food is the North East's only American-style vegan diner! We're also the first dedicated vegan eatery in Gateshead. We're an independent local family run business and we absolutely love what we do. We started out as an events catering company and found the North East was lagging behind on the vegan scene, so out popped our lovely little diner, right in the heart of Gateshead town centre.

Disney's Christopher Robin director Marc Forster has revealed the logic behind Winnie the Pooh's "vintage" look in the upcoming live-action film. The Christopher Robin teaser trailer dropped online this week, conjuring feelings of both confusion and nostalgia for those who grew up loving the Bear of Very Little Brain. Winnie the Pooh's appearance as a photo-realistic toy in the movie took a number of people off-guard, as evidenced by the reactions to the teaser trailer that have been posted to social media.
The premise for Christopher Robin begs comparison to that for Steven Spielberg's Hook, in that both are about famous literary characters who have grown up and started a family. Whereas Hook paints the adult Peter Pan as being a man who has lost sight of what really matters, Christopher Robin appears to be more sympathetic to its namesake. Case in point, the teaser trailer shows Christopher (Ewan McGregor) wanting to take his wife and daughter on a weekend trip, but having to cancel when his boss (Mark Gatiss) demands that he find a way to cut their business operating costs - and not so subtly threatens Christopher's sense of job security.
Related: Best Internet Reactions to the Christopher Robin Trailer
Speaking to ET, Forster described Christopher Robin as being a "very emotional movie", adding that "There's no better time to get a big hug by Pooh." He further confirmed that the illustrations by E.H. Sherpard from A.A. Milne's original Winnie the Pooh stories were a big influence on the look of Winnie the Pooh and the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood in the film. More than that, Forster said he wanted their appearance to reflect how much time has passed since Christopher played them with as a young boy:
"It was an enduring process to develop Pooh the way I liked him. They're not brand new toys we bought off a shelf, they had some love in them, some wear and tear. Christopher Robin played with them a lot as toys, and when you see them, they should look a little vintage."
Winnie the Pooh's "wear and tear" is further reflected in the voice of Jim Cummings, who has been lending his vocals to the honey-loving bear since 1988. The prolific Disney voice actor has been associated with the character for so long that now multiple generations have grown up hearing him voice Winnie in various animated forms. For related reasons, Forster felt that Cummings was essential to bringing the character to life the way he wanted in the Christopher Robin movie:
"He lived this character for over 30 years, so for him, this is, sort of, part of his being at this point. It was important to me [to have] this nostalgic element of the voice and the feel. It was very important."
Christopher Robin is but the latest live-action Disney fairy tale re-imagining with a strong nostalgic element to hit theaters over the last several years, with many more to come still. At the same time, the movie feels different in the way that nostalgia is baked into the text of the story - itself one that audiences have never heard before, unlike most of the Mouse House's other live-action retellings. Winnie the Pooh's appearance as a realistic CGI plaything might take some getting used to for some filmgoers, but it sounds as though his antiquated look and manner are essential to what Christopher Robin is going for storytelling-wise.

Bolton Valley Presents Family Week at Vermont's Most Convenient Ski Area Feb. 25-March 1
School Vacation Week Festivities Continue Plus 50% Off Lift Tickets on Tuesday By Donating a Jar of Vermont Peanut ButterBOLTON VALLEY, VT (2/21/2013) -
While Presidents' Week is the typical school vacation week for many in New England, Bolton Valley continues to remember those families and schools that enjoy winter vacation on alternative dates. To help families celebrate winter, Bolton Valley presents its new Family Week from Feb. 25-March 1. Magicians, dog sledding and more will complement mid-winter skiing and riding conditions.
On Monday, Vermont Magician Tom Joyce, known for his humor with both kids and adults alike, will perform from 4-5 p.m. in Fireside Flatbread in the main base lodge.
Tuesday is Vermont Peanut Butter Day, where when skiers and riders bring a jar of Vermont Peanut Butter they will receive 50% off a lift ticket for that day. All the peanut butter collected will be donated to the Vermont Food Bank. Folks from Vermont Peanut Butter also will be on hand to offer free samples of their peanut butter.
Two "seatings" of a free ice cream social and a kids movie will be held in the Bryan Room on Tuesday; one from 4-5:30 p.m. and a second from 6-7:30 p.m.
Complimentary Dog Sled Tours will be offered on Wednesday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Guests should meet at the Nordic Center to join the tour.
On Thursday from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. the No Strings Marionette Company will perform "The Snowmaiden" in Fireside Flatbread for kids ages 12 and younger.
And on Friday, complimentary Dog Sled Tours continue from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Beginning at 3:30 p.m. a bonfire, complete with cookies and hot chocolate, will round out the week of celebrations.
All participants must have a Bolton Valley Season Pass or lift ticket valid for the day to receive the complimentary Dog Sled Tour.
"We have solid mid-winter conditions with groomed and packed powder surfaces and the forecast continues to look good into next week," said Josh Arneson, director of sales and marketing at Bolton. "We know not everyone shares the same school vacations so we're hoping families that have the last week in February off will take advantage of some of the fun activities we have planned."
Bolton Valley is Vermont's most convenient and affordable big mountain skiing. Less than 10 minutes from I-89 and less than 30 minutes from Burlington and Montpelier, the family-friendly mountain offers skiers and riders of all abilities three mountain peaks with 70 trails and 6 lifts, plus 3 terrain parks including the Burton Progression Park.
Bolton Valley was the first in Vermont and the second in the U.S. to implement wind power as an energy source and is the recipient of the National Ski Areas Association's 2010 Silver Eagle Award for environmental initiatives. Approximately 100km of high elevation Nordic terrain, a complete Sports Center and Indoor Amusement Center plus Vermont's most extensive top-to-bottom night skiing and riding are just a few of the extras available to guests. All-inclusive, true ski-to-your-door lodging packages are from $79/person/night. For more information visit www.boltonvalley.com or call 802-434-3444.

Birdman is always set on expanding his Cash Money/Young Money roster outside of hip-hop. Today, he welcomes Australian production duo, the Stafford Brothers, to the YMCMB team. Quickly rising in the dance music scene, they are the first ever EDM act to be signed to the label.
"The Stafford Brothers blew me away with their energy, superb production skills and strong remixes," Birdman said in a press release. "Their music may have a party vibe, but that didn't fool
Slim and I. With their ownership of nightclubs, their own reality television show, international tours and dedication to their craft, we knew the Stafford Brothers were serious and would fit right in with
the hardworking YMCMB family."
the hardworking YMCMB family."
Stafford Brothers were added to Cash Money Records through a dance venture with CHM. Nima Nasseri of CHM will be the one in charge of the Stafford Brothers project.
The duo plans on putting out their first single called "Hello" that features Lil Wayne and Christina Milian. You can also expect more new music and collaborations to come later this month. "Hello" will be co-produced by The City.


text: The Tetraodon suvatti, commonly sold in the aquarium trade as the arrowhead puffer, Mekong puffer, pig-nose puffer or hog-nose puffer, is one of the most vicious of all puffers. The suvatti is rapidly growing in popularity due to the observable butchery involved in its natural eating habits. However popular this fish may be, it is also highly misunderstood due to the lack of information available surrounding the entire Tetraodon species. The suvatti can be and often is a difficult fish to keep and for those unfamiliar with puffer fish in general it is not a good introductory choice.

Nice, but inquiring minds want to know what the bridge and tailpiece look like.
Play it like you mean it.
I've had this one done for quite a while but only just put a finish on the neck with the decals at the request of a client. It successfully tunes to that of a mandola. The C and the G-strings are octave splits. It could just as easily be tuned as an octave mandolin. I don't actually remember the scale length. The width of the neck was narrowed to about 1.5" at the nut. The single saddle is made from brass.
String gauges are 9/9, 13/13, 10,22W 17/34W
There are no negative issues associated with using the original Chinese made 6-pole pickups. Its a fun instrument.
The single saddle idea allows you to use either a hardtail string-through bridge like this or a typical tremolo bridge and end up with a functioning tremolo. Way beyond my ability to employ a trem while playing an eight string mando type instrument but I'd bet that there are wild and crazy people who could.
One of the important things with this saddle is to drill the intonation holes one or two steps larger than the normal drill size before you tap the threads and this allows slight angles away from 90 degrees for intonation. Not too loose but enough to yield a little latitude. I prefer the split octaves for the two lower pitch pairs. It gives a chime in clean amplification and all sorts of complexity with dirty overdrive. Its not better, its just different. The single saddle is much easier without the split octaves. The brass saddle starts out as a 1/4 X 3/16" bar stock from McMasterCarr.
On these conversions, I find it easier if I slightly shim the neck pocket to get a bit of neck angle allowing me to make the saddle just a little taller and not be concerned that the saddle is going to be weak and succumb to string tension. I like using brass as it doesn't clog up my files and is a lot easier to work than aluminum. The intonation screws don't need to be terribly strong. They simply locate the saddle in the right place. There is a bit of torsion on them but I've never had 4-40 stainless screws show any sign of being too weak.

Can the BMD-340 be dropped into a BMD-300 footprint?
The BMD-340 is nearly compatible with the BMD-300. A new pin, VCCH, is outside of the BMD-300 footprint and must be connected on the BMD-340. This means the BMD-340 cannot be simply "dropped-into" an existing BMD-300 design. In short, you need to make couple minor changes to your board to accommodate the BMD-340. Note the BMD-340 is slightly larger than the BMD-300.
Is the BMD-340 footprint backwards compatible?
The BMD-340 footprint has been designed to allow for backwards compatibility with the BMD-300 and the BMD-301 modules. This allows the BMD-300 and BMD-301 to be placed onto a BMD-340 footprint (see the below footprint comparison). Pins 1 through 47 of the BMD-340 directly map the the same pins numbers on the BMD-300/301. This allows for both easy migration and enables tiered product design. If using a BMD-300 on the BMD-340 footprint, all of the new pads can be left disconnected, except for VCCH--which must be connected to VCC.
What are the differences?
Due to changes in the nRF52840 SoC used by the BMD-340, not all functions (such as SWO and TRACE signals) are found on the same pins as the BMD-300/301. Particularly of note is the reset pin function which on the BMD-340 is now available on P0.18 instead of P0.21 as with the BMD-300/301. To maintain pin for pin compatibility of the reset signal, P0.18 and P0.21 have swapped pad locations on the BMD-340 footprint. This is the same physical pin, only the logical pin assignment has changed. These differences with the BMD-300/301 are details in the table below.
