** UPDATE: This product is available in-stock now. Try also Buffered Vitamin C.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) provides nutritional support for many physiological functions, including, vascular integrity, connective tissue regeneration and maintenance, and support for the immune system. It is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It supports the body's defense system by enhancing white blood cell function and activity, and increasing interferon levels, antibody responses, and secretion of thymic hormones. It is essential for the formation and maintenance of intercellular ground substance and collagen. Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron and the formation of red blood cells and helps convert folic acid to its active form, folinic acid. Vitamin C maintains healthy histamine release and supports lymphocyte formation. Vitamin C is also required for the synthesis of carnitine and steroids. Many studies have shown the benefits of oral and IV administration of this vital nutrient. Pure Ascorbic Acid provides a potent 1000mg per capsule, minimizing the number of capsules required to reach high doses. Usual dose is 1 capsule daily, or as directed by your physician.

A mobility event took place in Italy, Udine in May 2014. It involved trainers, professionals, experts and providers. This was an important factor both in disseminating the results and exchanging ideas, experiences with others. Throughout the days of the mobilities participants were offered a range of activities. The mobility focused on:
1. Changing experiences on different aspects and experiences on active ageing and mental health for adults 50+ (comparison of national best practices, personal experiences, experiences gained from working with seniors in this project)
2. Feedback from providers on the manual with special focus on its practical part.
3. Practical workshops offered by experts for providers (selection from the activities developed for the manual)
4. Familiarisation and assessment of the manual's outcomes reached at that stage

Balance Between Security and Risk
As we consistently stress, it is important to have a good balance between risk versus security. Too little security and the investor has a higher probability of losing the investment principle, i.e. signature loans such as credit cards. Too much security and the investor runs the risk of losing financial ground due to interest rates that are less than economic growth rates, i.e. CDs, Money Market, any federally insured savings. No matter what the prevailing rates may be those who have their investments in CDs or other insured accounts it is almost certain that their rate of return is less than the economic growth rate. In other words, the CD investor is losing financial ground rather than gaining. Remember the example of the Ole Fella changing a $100 or a $20?
Real Estate the Premium Security
As we mentioned earlier, real estate is an excellent source for securing a private investment because over time it appreciates. That is not the only element that makes real estate attractive and as we know even depreciating real estate can still provide the Private Investor valuable collateral when appropriate loan to values (LTVs) are employed.
One important element is that real estate is tangible. Real estate cannot get up and walk away. It is where it is and there it will always be.
Another element that attracts Private Investment in real estate is that real estate can be completely insured against casualty and loss. If the building burns to the ground the insurance pays off the investor.
Private Investors also like lending on real estate because the return on investment is never in doubt. The security instruments spell out the payments and terms before the loan is made. There is no guesswork or hoping for returns that never materialize.

Using the second Friday of the free-agent signing period to strengthen their special teams, the Ravens have re-signed linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo.
The three-time Pro Bowl special teams standout will remain in Baltimore on a three-year contract, according to Pro Football Talk. Ayanbadejo has spent the last four seasons with the Ravens, playing an active role in the special teams units as well as providing depth at the linebacker position.
After spending three years with the Chicago Bears, the 35-year-old has seen an increased role defensively in Baltimore in the defense's nickel package and was regarded as one of the Ravens' best pass-coverage linebackers. Ayanbadejo becomes the second unrestricted free agent to stay with the Ravens after veteran center Matt Birk signed a new three-year deal last week.
Ayanbadejo ranked second on the team with nine special teams tackles and also recovered a fumble. Defensively, he finished with 27 tackles, 1 1/2 sacks, and two pass breakups.
Earlier in the day, the Ravens agreed to a two-year deal with former Bears cornerback Corey Graham, who was selected to the 2011 Pro Bowl as a special teams standout for Chicago.
Prior to the signings of Ayanbadejo and Graham, the Ravens were projected to have just under $5 million in salary cap room.

USAA Ranks No. 1 on Military Spouse Magazine's List
Posted on Sep 09, 2009 from USAA.com
Experience, loyalty, work ethic cited as top reasons for recruiting military spouses
Military Spouse magazine has ranked USAA No. 1 on its 2009 list of America's "Top 10 Military Spouse Friendly Employers." The third annual list, which is the magazine's October cover story, recognizes a variety of major corporations for demonstrating a significant commitment to hiring spouses of military personnel.
"USAA was named No. 1 because of its sustained and effective efforts to recruit military spouses," said Military Spouse managing editor Josie Cellone. "And once the spouses are hired, USAA has the programs in place to support them and their unique lifestyle."
USAA was chosen from among 2,500 companies achieving $1 billion in annual revenues. Companies were evaluated on their efforts to recruit military spouses, results in recruiting from them and policies affecting them.
"We know that military spouses sometimes feel corporate America prefers not to hire them because of their transient lifestyle. Well, we're different," said USAA CEO Maj. Gen. Joe Robles, USA (Ret.). USAA was founded by military personnel who were experiencing the same discrimination from insurance companies that thought their transient lifestyles made for a bad risk. That kind of corporate thinking was wrong in 1922 and it's wrong today, because military servicemembers and spouses are great employees as well as great customers."
USAA's military spouse program ranges from hiring to employee benefits. Highlights include:
- Military spouses make up 40% of USAA's 2009 new hires with military experience.
- Benefits programs assist military spouses with childcare during deployment by providing a "Life Referral" counselor who helps identify alternative childcare options.
- Company-sponsored intranet sites guide spouses with financial, legal and benefit-related information.
- USAA's Employee Assistance Program provides mental health and well-being services to help address deployment-related challenges that military spouses may experience.
"Military spouses bring a very specific set of skills to the company, such as flexibility, loyalty and adaptability," said USAA employee Maggie Hahn, wife of a retired U.S. Marine lieutenant colonel. "As a military spouse, we spend our lives living the mission of the armed forces right along with our soldier. Working at a company that embraces those core values makes being a USAA employee a perfect fit."

The Green Plate
by Jill Connett
"Moving is hard. Saying goodbye to friends is hard. Starting over is hard. In Jill Connett's The Green Plate, discover how a simple plastic plate begins a friendship, helps friends say farewell, and reminds a family that time should not be wasted to know people and enjoy special times with friends and family. A simple act of hospitality, presenting new neighbors with brownies on a green plate, begins a journey of friendship. That same green plate becomes the farewell gift as friends must separate, a symbol of memories as death comes unexpectedly and encouragement to move on in the life of a military family. The Green Plate offers smiles, tears, and inspiration to begin again wherever and whenever the need arises to start over. Enjoy this tribute to hospitality, the military lifestyle, sacrifices, friendships past, and those to come. Jill Connett is from Talladega, Alabama. She teaches school and supports her husband's military career wherever she and her family live at the time. She truly loves being a military wife and mother. She has loved traveling to new places and meeting new people among the hardships that come with always starting over. She writes, "Thank you to all of my family and friends who have supported us as we've moved from place to place. I'm proud of my husband and what he does, and I'm very blessed to be surrounded with people who share and support our adventurous lifestyle. May we have many more adventures to come." The Green Plate story helps capture the enormous personal burden American military families are bearing today. Meeting US servicemen and servicewomen in the field and their families back home, I've always been humbled by their commitment and strength in the face of very real dangers. Jill Connett gives a revealing window into the joys and sadness of life on the homefront. -Jim Sciutto, Senior Foreign Correspondent, ABC News"

Internet Marketing 101: Mental Price Barriers
It has been a while since I created a new category on the blog, and today I am doing that. The category is called "Internet Marketing". The reason? I am planning to start writing a series on this topic, called "Internet Marketing 101", where I'll basically share the stuff I learned over the years buying/selling websites, launching products, promoting affiliate offers and what not.
Today I wanna talk about mental price barriers.
Human beings tend to have very clear patterns when analyzing things (not necessarily rational patterns), and the price of products and services is no exception.
The first pattern is that we tend to group prices according to the number of digits left of the dot. For instance, both $6.50 and $8.50 have 1 digit left of the dot, while $25.70 has two. As a result the first two prices would be considered similar and put in the same mental group, while the third would fall on a separate group.
This means that a potential customer would have a similar reaction whether your product costs $6.90 or $9.90. In other words, he would be equally willing to make the purchase in either case, which means that you should price your product at $9.90 if you want to maximize your profits over the long term.
Obviously you need to take this rule with a grain of salt. $19.50 and $90.50 have the same number of digits left of the dot, but consumers wouldn't put those price tags in the same mental group. The problem here is that we have crossed different mental price barriers.
As far as Internet marketing is considered, the most common mental price barriers are:
- $10
- $20
- $50
- $100
If two price tags are below a certain barrier the consumer will probably have a similar reaction to both. For instance, $14.50 and $19.70 are both below the $20 barrier, so the prices would trigger a very similar on the mind of consumers. Same is true for $28.90 and $39.90, or for $79.90 and $97.70.
Let's use some numbers to illustrate the points.
Suppose that you sell an ebook for $16.90, and your current conversion rate is 1.2% (that is, out of 100 visitors coming to your landing page, 1.2 will make a purchase). Now suppose that you have 10,000 monthly visitors coming to the page where you sell the ebook, so that translates into 120 purchases per month (10000*0.012) and $2028 in monthly profits.
As I mentioned before most people put $16.90 and $19.90 on the same mental group, so if we increased the price to $19.90 the conversion rate shouldn't fall that much. Let's assume it would fall to 1.1%.
Now every month we would have 110 purchases, as compared to 120 with the old price tag. However the price is higher, and so are the profits: 110*19.9 = $2189. As you can see by getting closer to the mental barrier we managed to maximize the profits, despite selling slightly fewer units.
The rule of thumb: price your products just below one of the common mental price barriers.
This principle is called price elasticity of demand in economics. If you want to read more on the topic check out the Wikipedia entry.

26 Responses to "Internet Marketing 101: Mental Price Barriers"
Okay, first let me just thank you for such a useful piece of information provided here. I have tried to do a lot of research on Internet marketing but I usually find some gibberish that I don't understand. Your post on the other hand was a great help.
Talha Tayyub
This is great for beginners who so far not jumped into the internet marketing. thanks for this awesome article
M Nirmal Anandh
Nice Information Daniel. Am also going to launch a product like you.
This is good info, however this may depend from niche to niche. Although I think it can easily be applied to most of them really.
I think the barriers can even be applied to offline physical products.
that's really weird how we think 9.99 and 10.00 are very different prices 🙂
Heru Prasetyono
Internet Marketing will be a good category. This category will always be an interesting topic to discuss. Thank you for sharing about this article in series. I want to learn further from an experienced blogger like you Daniel.
I'm in the wedding industry and I'm putting together an ebook to use as some link bait for brides as a how to "DIY WEDDING" I'm definitely going to use your article as a guide for setting price points and how I'm going to distribute it. Thanks for a well written piece.
Carrie Bailey
I always thought that .99 was a little silly, but I did understand the idea behind it. This makes more sense. There is a larger mental barrier rather than a simple one. Thanks.
It's not even only about it being a price barrier (which is totaly true in human psych) but we also tend to like for example 3,99 more then 3,90 so there's profit to gain by the sellers.
Interesting points which I never never thought of. There is always an element of psychology involved in human mind.
Glad you came up with this post.
Ratu Leni Anggraeni
You spot it on. Mental price barriers will do the job perfectly when combined with effective promotion.
Fino Sosa
Thank you Daniel. I enjoyed your insight on this issue.
Joseph Anzai
Daniel thanks for creating this new topic. I had heard about price elasticity before. I have always been interested in thought process between $9.95 over $9.99? Do more people purchase based on the .05 difference? If you charged lets say $19.90 or $19.95 for something, do you convert more customers than if you charged $19.99? I would be very interested in knowing if any of you have tested this theory and what the outcome was.
I find reluctance to purchase things on the web is slowly decreasing but overall barriers still exist. I'm a seasoned internet buyer, but my credit card was compromised yesterday and it does have me wondering if it's worth it sometimes. This time the bank didn't pick it up so it has me spooked.
Its exciting that Daniel Scocco and DBT team have decided to be writing a series on Internet Marketing. Sharing experiences is one way in which others can truly learn. With regards to this piece on Mental Price Barriers, I will say the analysis is clear and I will definitely price my online product below any of the mental price barriers.
Matt Baran
Makes sense. When was the last time you saw an IM product (or anything in the store for that matter) priced at an even number? If the product is $19 the likelihood of the consumer buying is much higher than $20…even though the difference is only a buck!
May not seem like its that big of a deal, but when it comes down to selling 100 more units, we aren't exactly talking chump change.
Nice post!!
Rashmi Sinha @ Micromax Canvas HD
We are psychological fools hence proved!!!!!
Jokes aside, but these price barrier concept is quite accurate and if we see anywhere in virtual or real world, big firms are exploiting this concept ever since. Great way to get more sales online without actually tricking the customer. 😀
Thanks for the share.
Euro Kitch – Mad ud af huset
What a great post 🙂 I very much like the psycological aspects in your thoughts.
Interesting post, Daniel.
Price point is a very significant part of any online marketing and business strategy.
A great way to test pricing would also be to try $19,99 instead of $20,00. $19,99 looks a lot less but is only 1 cent lower and your conversion rate will most likely increase.
Great post Daniel. The psychological aspect of a human being while making a purchase is vastly utilized over the decades. As you said, $16.15 or $19.50 does not make much of the difference in a buyer's mind but once you put it like $20.00, the consumer gives it a second thought. How stupid we human beings are !!
Another thing are the words like 'discount, coupon' and etc etc.. While you can sell your ebook for $59.99 or, for $79.99 with a discount of $ 50….. OMG!!! This means your ebook actually costs $129.99 ($79.99 + $50) but you are doling it out with a very discounted amount, only $79.99 for me only.. I am not sure why are you so benevolent with me…. I am the luckiest man on earth.. 😛
Richard Ng
Hi Daniel,
Great piece with a tinge of buyer pschology element thrown into it. Hope to see more such coverage in the future.
Some interesting and valid points.. Although I do know them but never gave attention to this price tag thing. I will use 19.99.
Wow, some interesting ideas to think about, but I will need a bit more scientific prove and a way to determine what customers are prepared to pay.
Beginners Blogging Profits
Incredible advice here Daniel, the mental price barrier so incredibly true, if you price your product/service a few cents or dollars below the mental price barrier, your conversion rate will increase a LOT.
I might try this out soon,
Great post, Daniel. Very interesting and something I never thought about before.
Every little bit counts.
Darnell Jackson
This is really good information for bloggers that haven't published their own products yet.
If you haven't you need to publish your product ASAP.
My info product is priced at $37 I'm thinking of increasing it to the $47 range I think this post has helped me make that decision.

Amy and I are at the farm. We met Robert, he's the owner of this farm, and he's been caring for horses as a living! His farm is kind of small, but he also has a large garden,–where he plants food for the village. There's a large house, a windmill, and there's also a large barn. Amy: "Some of Fairy-Rider's peers has been scared by one of your horses, and he has fear of horses." Robert is currently refilling his food department for his horses. He thought we're just playing. Robert: "Fear of horses is common in this village, and you're the only compact creature who is ridden by you Amy. I was trying to resolve this problem, but I need some other people who were good at resolving fears." I slowed Amy down. "You might need to take it slow," I said. Amy looks at one of Robert's horses, she thought his horses are tall as normal horses. Both of them are just playing, some of them are ridden by some people who were trying to show other people how to ride horses. Amy: "Not sure which horse is willing to be a candiddate to resolve fear of horses, we have to find the right farm that has less horses, we have to take a long route to reach you. Lou is your common neighbor who is your visitor who likes to ride horses." Henery was worried! He thought some of my peers like horses, but some of them are so afraid of them. Robert: "Thanks for letting me know about this issue. One of my horses just started to become a candiddate for resolving fears. Since you're a fairy-rider; you really ride fairies, but your mouse is your backup. I discovered some of my fairies has poofed out. And we have to wait for our fairies to come back,–after their maintenance session." Amy and I start our process to choose one of these horses to borrow for resolving some problems by planning it out on a powerful tablet to confirm if we wanted to keep our mission going We have to take extra caution when resolving a problem like this..

While it will be an epic personal challenge for Brad and Jerry, they also have higher purpose--to benefit Building Hope International, a third-world humanitarian organization. Brad was wise enough to realize he needed to be not just physically, but physiologically fit in order to survive both the race and the countless hours of training leading up to it. As an added challenge, he would need to recover completely from a series of foot stress fractures.
He contacted Core 4 in January for help with physiological assessments, and with a supplement program that would provide for both his training and racing needs...
Our initial evaluation involved an assessment of several, key metabolic serum markers including those for inflammation and GI health, bone mineral status, and hormone levels; vitamin D3, omega 3 fatty acids, and nitric oxide. The findings showed that Brad was in overall good physiological health but was had lower-than-optimal level of testosterone, and very low levels of vitamin D, significantly low levels of vitamin D, omega 3, and nitric oxide. He also had a mild bacterial imbalance in his GI tract, and tested high for oxidative stress which reduces the body's ability to create energy. These results, which are indicative of nutrient depletion, are common among endurance athletes and those who must manage consistently high levels of mental and/or physiological stress. For Brad, they served as cautionary warning. If he pushed his body to the extreme, he would not perform at peak potential. And he would be much more prone to injury or illness.
Brad began the Core 4 Foundations program with a few supplemental additions--Charge! and Pure Clean Beet Powder; and essential amino acid support. Since a break from training was not an option, he also began a targeted, recovery program that included the use of pine pollen and nettle root extracts for hormonal support and and liposomal glutathione to reduce oxidative stress.
His pre-race preparation also involved learning how to optimize his ability to burn fat while, at the same time, take in enough calories to train and recover on. He needed to be able to train long and slow (which sometimes meant eight hours on an indoor trainer) but hard and fast as well.
I am happy to say that Brad has remained healthy throughout his many, arduous hours of training and a miraculous recovery from a serious, cycling accident in May (he suffered a fractured clavicle and hairline fracture in his hip when he was run down by a flock of angry geese on a training ride)!
I am also happy to report that with the race just a few days ahead, Brad feels strong and ready to go!
While on the road racing each day, Brad will be taking in 30 grams of FundAminos, 4 scoops of Chocoberry Blast, 2 scoops of beet powder and 4 Charge! tablets. His ability to finish will now be determined by his mental tenacity and ability to endure extreme fatigue, boredom, pain, and the always-present and unknown risks bicycle racing entails.

Customer Reviews
After using this jacket on a muzz elk hunt which went from 10 below to unseasonably warm weather, here's my take on the lost river.
First the positive points:
1. If you're glued to one spot glassing in the wind or walking around on level ground the jacket is great. It stops the wind very well and keeps you warm.
2. The pockets and basic layout of the jacket are well thought out and user friendly.
Now the not so positive points:
1. I usually take an XL in all my hunting gear but I followed Eberlestocks advice and went one size larger. Even with an XXL the arms a little tight and I'm not Popeye by any stretch.
2. They claim, like everyone else, that the material is breathable but I'm going to challenge that notion strongly. If you're hiking hard, you're going to be extremely hot and sweaty very quickly and it does not wick out and go away!. Furthermore the insulation takes a long time to dry out once it's wet.
3. This is perhaps a small point but I feel the material is a bit noisy when it's very cold
I've been an Eberlestock junky for many years and I swear by the quality and functionality of their products. Sadly, I feel this jacket is not up to their usual standards especially when you factor in the high cost.
Love the jacket
I also purchased a bino carrier and it is horrible
This jacket will be your go to jacket for all things hunting wet or not! Would definitely recommend to any one looking for a great jacket.

By Mike Loughrin, CEO, Transformance Advisors
West of Boulder
About 45 minutes from Boulder, west up Boulder Canyon to Nederland and north 6.2 miles on the Peak to Peak Scenic Highway, you will find an old road that has been closed for a very long time.
Trout Stream
Hike down this road as it leads to a trout stream which is running fast this time of the year. The summer storms and some isolated patches of melting snow are feeding this stream that will eventually reach Boulder Creek.
Find the trail that runs along the stream and walk upstream to a point where the trail seems to disappear into the water.
At this point, gather your courage and cross the stream by scrambling across some unstable logs that serve as a bridge.
Mountain Meadow
After crossing the steam, continue on the trail as it winds through the woods and then into a mountain meadow.
At this time of the year, the meadow is full of wild flowers.
As you reach the far edge of the meadow, you will find find an unmarked and unusual looking trail that winds it way through the woods and along the side of the mountains.
Story to Tell
As you hike along this unusual trail, you will sense that this level trail is out of place in the mountains and must have a story to tell. An observant hiker will soon see many of the hints that point to an exotic history and the story which this trail wants to tell.
The hints collect in your mind and then the story explodes into view as you realize you are walking on the old bed of a narrow gauge railroad. The story is that of the Little Switzerland, a railroad that ran from Boulder to the gold and silver mines that dotted the mountains all around you.
This long gone engineering feat was a critical link in the supply chain that served the miners of the late 1800s.
Opportunity to Contemplate
And, fortunately for the supply chains of today, this trail provides a great opportunity for the members of Transformance Advisors based in Boulder.
You will find us leveraging the isolation and peaceful serenity of this trail as we take long hikes to contemplate solutions for the challenges faced by our clients.
When You Go
When you decide to go: take along your challenges that require deep reflection. Go early and try to finish up before supper time.
Those of us that have hiked in the evening have gotten a strange feeling that a mountain lion is up there watching and waiting!

Santa Ana is our home; The Orange County Register began as The Santa Ana Register. We have a great deal of concern for Santa Ana, particularly its finances and this week's announcement by Moody's that Santa Ana is among 30 California cities being evaluated for a possible credit rating downgrade.
Santa Ana voters will elect a mayor Nov. 6. We see the need for new leadership and innovative approaches to tackling challenges faced by the city but we also recognize that new doesn't always equate with better. In our view, this contest will likely come down to a match between the city's longtime mayor, Miguel Pulido, and Councilman P. "David" Benavides. Both men have similar voting records but offer slightly different visions for the city.
Mr. Pulido has been mayor since 1994. He has some accomplishments to recommend him, not least of which is a tremendous drop in crime during his tenure. How much credit Mr. Pulido deserves is an open question, but the city has become safer on his watch.
Mr. Pulido has been praised for having outsourced the city's fire service to the Orange County Fire Authority. While he has no doubt saved the city some money in the short term, the problem with the city's contract with its own Fire Department was the unnecessary minimum staffing requirements that inflated the number of firefighters on duty. Much money could have been saved simply by scrapping that provision.
40 Biden, Big Bird and Benghazi cartoons
He first ran for City Council in 1986 to stop his father's muffler shop from being taken by eminent domain. He has since dabbled with subsidies for development and light rail and higher taxes, and we worry about the potential for crony capitalism in the city. His current bid for mayor, though, has earned the endorsement of the Orange County Business Council.
One of the best things that can be said of Mr. Pulido is that he is neither the darling, nor the enemy, of city employee unions. But that is not reason enough for the Register's Editorial Board to endorse him.
It's difficult for us to discern many policy differences between Mr. Benavides and Mr. Pulido, given that their voting records are nearly identical. That may make personality the deciding factor in the race.
Mr. Benavides would bring a fresh face to the office of mayor, which by itself may be enough for those Santa Ana voters suffering "Pulido fatigue," the belief that the current mayor has overstayed his welcome, and that the financially distressed city needs new leadership. But change for its own sake is not enough for our Editorial Board to endorse Mr. Benavides.
Mr. Benavides pointed out that the city is facing a "disinvestment period." He argues there is "culture within the city" where the city manager and mayor do not share enough information with the Council or the public. "Budgets have been presented as balanced budgets but that's not really the case," he said. "Facing bankruptcy emboldened the Council."
It would be irresponsible for us to overlook Santa Ana's financial straits in our endorsement process. On top of other challenges, the city faces an estimated $200 million unfunded liability for employee pensions, a figure that comes to us from Francisco Gutierrez, Santa Ana's executive director of finance.
If Mr. Pulido wants another term, he should be willing to change the way he does business. If Mr. Benavides wants to inspire confidence that he would govern differently than his opponent, actions speak loudest.

Notice of Special Closed Council Meeting: Wednesday, October 7, 2020
POSTED: October 5, 2020 | Mayors Blog
Please see the Public Notice for more information.
1793 During July, Captain George Vancouver's vessel HMS Discovery linked up with the survey vessel HMS Chatham, commanded by Lieutenant Puget and surveyed the area of Portland Inlet which provides access to Portland Canal and Observation Inlet. Vancouver named the 70 mile canal Portland in honour of the Ducal house of Portland. During August 1793 survey vessels under his command travelled to the head of the canal.
1866 Promoter named Collins has advance survey crews under the overall supervision of Colonel Bulkley, US Army in the Nass and Stikine country surveying the possibility of extending the intercontinental telegraph line north from Kispiox. The line ran from Vancouver to Kispiox but was cancelled when the Trans-Atlantic reached Newfoundland. A small section of this line was later revived in the 1900's as the Dominion Government Telegraph line.
1867 Alaska purchased from Russia by the United States.
1896 David Du Bose Gaillard, an American Engineer and a squad of US Army Corps of Engineers were detailed to build 4 stonehouses to enforce US claim to Alaska. One house was built at the head of the Portland Canal.
1898 During May, at the time of the Klondike Gold Rush, a Seattle promoter named Burgess arrived at the head of the canal with a party of 65 with a promise of a short and quick trip to the new gold fields in the Nass Valley. No gold was found, Burgess departed apparently in a native dugout canoe. Some tried to pan the creeks for gold while others prospected the hills and by the next spring only three men remained to prospect.
1899 DJ Rainey located the first lode mineral claims at Bitter Creek and called the Roosevelt Group. He also staked out 40 acres on the mud flats of the Bear and Salmon River and as he was not sure if it was in Alaska or Canada, he is said to have recorded the claim in both countries. He has been credited with the discovery of the Premier Gold Mine in the early 1900's.
1903 Saw the arrival of Robert M. and John W. Stewart who prospected the district and staked several locations. The brothers remained in the area and they staked the present Townsite of Stewart after having secured a portion of Rainey's holdings. On March 19, 1906 the Stewart Land Company was officially incorporated. John Stewart owned half the land of the townsite, but lost much of it during the depression. John, who was instrumental in establishing the towns water system remained in Stewart until his death in 1946. Among the early mines opened by John Stewart in the 1920's was the Dunwell Mine located at Bitter Creek.
1903 Final Agreement of the US - Canada boundary was reached in October 1903 but was not officially signed until May 14, 1910. Surveys were apparently started in 1906 but official survey began in May 1911.
1905 Stewart recognized as a place name by the Dominion Government and a Post Office was established.
1906 Stewart has first boom! Canadian, US, British and German money poured into Stewart for many undertakings including the granting of a Charter for a railroad. The line did not materialize but in 1909 another Charter was granted to the Portland Canal Railway Company (changed in 1911 to Canadian Northeaster Railway Company). The first 15 miles of the line were completed but by 1912 the boom in railway construction was over. In 1929 consolidated Mining and Smelter acquired the charter and did some work on the line, the world depression cancelled their plans.
1910 All available land in the Bear, Marmot and Salmon valley was staked. Dozens of mining companies were organized but instead of genuine development the crooked promoters and speculators took over. Few properties shipped ore and with the realization that the railroad would not be built the bubble burst. Lots which had sold for thousands of dollars were worthless and the population fell from 10,000 to 17 overnight.
1910 There were further new discoveries up the Salmon River. The first claims known as the Cascade Falls Group staked by William Dilworth and Bunting brothers Bill and Charles. Adjacent property named O.B. Bush property became known as the Premier Mine. Property worked for some years by New York interests but failed to develop any commercial ore.
1916 Pat Daly acquires Premier and with new New York interests and considerable work uncovered a high-grade shoot of ore. Within two years the mine paid dividends over 4 million dollars or 97% of its total capitalization.
1920 The second longest tram line on the continent was constructed between Hyder BC and Premier Mine. By the spring of 1921 a 4,000 ton bunker to store concentrate was complete at what was known as the Premier Dock.

Signs That You Are In A Relationship With The Wrong Person
A common occurrence is you could be dating someone and at first, everything seems great. The longer the relationship lasts, the more bad habits you discover about the other person and then years down the line you just wished you had never wasted your time with the person lying next to you. But how can you tell if a relationship is the real deal or a ticking time bomb? Well, here are just some of the signs that could tell you, that you are with the wrong person.
What They Said About Dating The Totally Wrong Person
You Sadly No Longer Look Forward To Seeing Your PartnerOne of the telltale signs that you are in a relationship with the wrong person is when you no longer look forward to spending time in their company. Whether it's a brand new relationship and you are still going through that puppy love phrase or a relationship which has lasted a few years, if you are avoiding spending time with your partner, this sign should tell you maybe its time to call it a day. At the very beginning of a relationship, you should be excited to see your other half and struggle to keep your hands off each other. In a long-term relationship, you really should be trying to keep the spark alive that you once had by enjoying dates that bring back amazing memories. When you reach the point you are bored and dreading the next time you meet, you should bite the bullet and call it a day.
Despite Being In A Long Relationship, You Feel LonelyUnless you are in a long relationship you may not have an idea what this point is but you will, once you move into your home with your partner. After a long time with each other, you can become set in your ways. Get home from work, eat, watch TV, bed and that is your life. This routine can lead to a weird feeling of sitting next to your partner and you feel like they are 100 miles away with the fairies and believe me this may sound good but it really isn't. This can be caused by things being left unsaid, whilst a lack of intimacy and connection is not a good sign for your relationship.
You Cheat On Your PartnerPersonally, I think you should never cheat on your partner, it is just against every moral I stand for. If things aren't working just end the relationship because the results of someone cheating can be devastating to the person, for example, they never trust a partner again. But if you do find yourself cheating that should be the biggest signal you are not happy with your partner and are with the wrong person, it really is that simple. This isn't just because you have discovered you are attracted to another person but you have gone looking for intimacy that you must feel you are currently not receiving from your relationship.
Listen To Your Friends And FamilyBefore you were in a relationship, the people who knew you better than anyone else were your friends and family and that still remains the same despite meeting who you believe is the love of your life. They have seen you at your lowest and highest moments of this roller-coaster we call life and will be able to see if you are currently unhappy. My advice would be to always listen to their advice and don't just dismiss the fact they think you are with the wrong guy because you don't want to listen to it. These people care about you and are only looking out for your best interests even if you don't think it at the time.
You Have Become More Friends Than LoversLet's not pretend that sex isn't important in a relationship but we all know it is. Sex is what takes a friendship to the next level. If you are in a relationship and the passion is lost and you no longer want to have sex, your lack of libido/sex drive may be because you are no longer happy that you are with your partner, This is when you should call it a day and think about going your separate ways, otherwise you will waste even more of your time in a relationship that is not working.
A big thank you to Honeys Escorts for providing the article. We have a great relationship with the agency who have been a big help since our launch

SFF2015 Daytime Subscribers Diary: Day 3
On weekends and the public holiday Monday, daytime subscribers only see two films per day instead of the usual four, with the night subscribers taking the opposite schedule. Today we opened once again with a documentary before moving on to the second of the films in the competition.
LISTEN TO ME MARLON tells the story of the legendary actor Marlon Brando, mostly in his own words. The film mostly proceeds chronologically, taking only a brief detour early on to foreshadow the sad fate which befell Brando's son and daughter later in his life. While his story is interesting by itself, what truly makes the film special is the format the documentary takes. During his life, Brando made many recordings of his own voice. These tapes, being heard here for the first time by the general public, included anecdotes, memories, philosophical musings, and even a large collection of self-hypnosis sessions. The tapes are edited together with news clips, photographs, interviews and footage of Brando's films to tell the story as a collage, jumping from subject to subject.
This is a wonderful way to present the information, allowing us to become immersed completely in the world of one of Hollywood's greatest figures. At times the amount of information is almost overwhelming. This must have been an unimaginably complex editing job, and the result is very impressive. Unfortunately, the audio quality on the tapes varies wildly, making it a struggle understand some of them. It's a small problem in an otherwise enjoyable experience.
Playing in the competition is Kim Farrant's Australian drama STRANGERLAND. It's an ambitious film, relying almost entirely on atmosphere and mystery, and I'm sad to say it's not particularly successful. This is despite an impressive cast including Nicole Kidman and Joseph Fiennes as a married couple traumatised by the sudden disappearance of their two children, and Hugo Weaving as the police officer in charge of the investigation.
The film presents female sexuality as a force of nature, equally as dangerous as the heatwaves and dust storms which plague the remote town. There is a constant focus on this angle, with both Kidman and her missing daughter playing a part, but for my money the film never really does anything interesting with it. The plot is incredibly frustrating, refusing to do anything but sit there spinning its wheels. The vague threat of the unknown can only take you so far, and it's not enough to sustain a 112-minute film.
It's another short day tomorrow, with two more films on offer. The competition continues with VINCENT, and then there's another Australian feature in the form of LAST CAB TO DARWIN. More on those tomorrow.

Dry eye can be chronic and is incurable in some cases. Despite that it can't always be cured, dry eye can be managed in most cases. At Henderson Vision Centre, we provide comprehensive dry eye therapy.
For patients seeking dry eye therapy, we offer extensive diagnostics and treatment programs. Most patients see us four times over a period of six months (initial assessment/treatment, follow-up diagnostics and treatments at 1, 3, and 6 month milestones). We have designed this treatment regimen to provide extensive care for those who are seeking relief.
Included in our dry eye therapy program:
If dry eye is impacting you, visit us for an assessment and treatment. Request your appointment.
Dry eye's symptoms are similar to symptoms of other conditions (notably, conjunctivitis). Many people confuse dry eye with seasonal allergies, temporary irritation, or other conditions with comparable symptoms.
Diagnosis begins with an eye exam. During the eye exam we will examine your eyes and assess their overall health. Depending on your case of dry eye, we may measure the volume of tears your eyes produce or assess the quality of your tears.
We will also help diagnose the cause of your dry eye. Dry eye can have many causes, including common medications (like antihistamines) and digital eye strain.
Treatment for dry eye generally revolves around improving lubrication. Improving eye lubrication relieves symptoms for the majority of people and can be done through a variety of means. These include:
The goal when treating dry eye is to improve quality of life by reducing or eliminating symptoms.
You can find us in the River East Plaza, between Safeway and Booster Juice, and across from Tim Hortons.
We have plenty of parking available on-site.

Chorus/NBC Symphony Orchestra/Arturo Toscanini
rec. dress rehearsals in November and December 1946 in NYC
No texts or translations
In preparation for NBC broadcasts of La Traviata, these dress rehearsals fortunately recorded served to tighten the screw of the production. The two discs presented preserve the rehearsals and run consecutively through the opera, enlivened by some typical Toscaninian vocal encouragement, which here consists of a hoarse singing along, or singing parts solo. Thus what we have is, in effect, an alternative to the eventual production which was broadcast early in December 1946. It was valuable that fully 13 hours of rehearsals have survived all told, though the bulk of the material heard in this twofer comes from rehearsals given on 30 November and 7 December.
In his long notes William Youngren is consistent in his admiration for these rehearsals, preferring them at almost every point to the eventual broadcast, and finding in them a greater level of intensity. Given Toscaninis vocal input, it would be pointless to suggest that this represents a genuine contender amongst front rank recordings, but as an ancillary to the broadcast it will certainly make a great deal of sense. There are no noticeable tempo variations except in the case of the opening Preludio, which is rather more expressive and less metrical than in the later broadcast performance.
The recording is good, clear, clean and quite up-front. Therefore there are moments of overload from time to time in tuttis, but the blasting passes quite quickly and its not an important concern. More relevant are the performances. I dont find Peerce as elegant as Youngren does, though I am prepared to admit that Licia Albanese is a touch more communicative than in the later broadcast. She was maybe more relaxed. Her technique is certainly first class, excepting some awkward gulps. The conductor is at his most urgent and hoarsely addictive in the first rehearsed passage in Act II where he takes on the role of the servant Giuseppe the original singer was either ill or unlucky. Whichever, he certainly couldnt have been at his mark. Elsewhere he hushes volume or demands a crescendo, and begins to but doesnt quite lose his temper.
As I suggested earlier, this is really aimed squarely at Toscanini collectors who will find the dress rehearsals of some documentary significance.

Volunteering is about spreading positivity in the world. As a volunteer, you offer your knowledge and skills to the uplifting and betterment of a community or society. Volunteers range from young and middle-aged individuals to senior citizens for different personal reasons. Anyone of any age, with any level of experience and a passion for improving other people's lives, may volunteer domestically or abroad.
There are numerous volunteer jobs for organizations pursuing different objectives. The like the rest of the world, has organizations, initiatives, as well as companies that might use volunteers to implement their various duties and responsibilities. This need has created hundreds of voluntary jobs for interested individuals possessing particular sets of skills.
What Are Volunteering Jobs?
Volunteering, in general, involves offering your expertise and time to a noble cause. Jobs in volunteering do not usually come with a handsome salary as would a regular job. However, most organizations that hire volunteers have embraced a culture of paying their volunteers an agreed upon stipend to cater for expenses. This move aims at encouraging more people to apply for volunteering opportunities.
Paid voluntary positions have seen a surge in people crossing borders to pursue these opportunities. Fewer people are likely to volunteer in a foreign country without monetary assistance in meeting living and travel costs. Though you should not expect to make a fortune by volunteering a few months or weeks abroad, you can save a pretty decent amount of money from your stipend.
There are more benefits you can expect to reap from volunteering aside from pay. For one, you will gain adequate experience to grow your career. Choosing opportunities related to your current or future career path can help you learn practical knowledge and marketable skills for the job market. Prospective employers look friendly upon job candidates with volunteering experience. Furthermore, volunteering enables you to create and expand your network. You are more likely to land a job through the connections you make during your volunteering than from random job applications.
Education and Skills Demands for Volunteer Jobs
Education requirements and skill level for volunteering jobs are project specific and dependent on the type of position you plan to apply. For example, a senior community engagement manager or associate requires at least a diploma or bachelor's degree in management or community development related fields. On the other hand, a healthcare volunteer may need to show some educational qualification in Medicine or Healthcare.
However, most organizations, recruit a young volunteer with little to no professional experience or higher education. Voluntary jobs hiring managers place weight on an applicant's soft skills, the motivation for applying, and passion for the job. Most organizations recruit:
- People who can communicate effectively in English; proficiency in an additional language, preferably Arabic, is a bonus.
- Enthusiastic individuals who have a passion for giving.
- Hardworking people able to under pressure and in remote areas.
- Individuals who can be flexible and able to adapt quickly.
- Compassionate and friendly individuals able to work with all kinds of people.
Average Earnings in Voluntary Careers
There is no standard or an agreed upon range of pay for volunteers, and organizations fix the compensation according to the area of work, standard living costs, and project demands. Consequently, volunteering jobs remunerations are as broad as they come.
Nonetheless, you can rest assured that the compensation you will get from your voluntary job will be sufficient to meet all your basic demands during your stay in the country. Taking on a volunteering vacancy can mean well for your finances in the long run as it will help you get into various paid related professions such as becoming a Social Worker or Career Development Specialist.

PHILADELPHIA — Making something out of nothing is one of the many abilities that makes Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles so special. That magic was generated once again Sunday by the ancient Sproles, playing in his 190th career game at age 36.
But of the nine runs, three pass receptions and four punt returns he had to generate 109 yards in the Eagles' 32-27 victory over the Washington Redskins, what might have stood out most was a play that didn't count on the stat sheet but was critical in allowing his team to breathe easier at the end.
Sproles was charged with trying to get into the end zone for a 2-point conversion following their final touchdown. The problem was that he was at the 5-yard line trying to turn the corner around the left side, with two unblocked defenders between him and the goal line.
Sproles cut back against the grain, absorbed contact just short of the goal line and somehow found a way for his 5-foot-6 body to squirm his way in for a 29-20 lead following the first play of the fourth quarter — a back pass that Alshon Jeffery turned into a touchdown with a similar second-effort move at the goal line.
Once again, Sproles had made something of nothing, just like he did probably a half-dozen other times in this game with his running (nine carries, 47 yards), receiving (three catches, 16 yards) and returning (four punts, 46 yards).
"I was just going out there trying to make plays for my team," Sproles said.
His eyes lit up while talking about the 2-pointer, though.
"I kind of knew when I got it that if there was a safety outside [which there was] that I wasn't going to make it to the pylon," he said. "So I knew I had to cut it back. I had to get the D-lineman really running, really sprinting [sideways], and I knew he couldn't stop. So that's what I tried to do."
Sproles' improvisational skills have helped make his bosses look like better decision-makers over the years — 14 of them and counting — than they might actually be.
And it's why coach Doug Pederson welcomed him back at his advanced age without hesitation this year, despite Sproles' being limited by injury to just nine of 32 regular-season and two of five postseason games over the previous two seasons.
The way it worked out on this day, Sproles got nine carries, Jordan Howard six and rookie Miles Sanders 11. But that can and will change from week to week based on opponents and what plays work best against them.
"As you know, when we construct games, we have multiple run schemes and they are designed for different guys," Pederson said. "The ones that were kind of clicking today were the Darren ones, and so just kept calling his number there. Those other two guys I thought ran well also.
"Unfortunate we get the late holding call late in the game there on that one [wiping out a 21-yard TD run by Sanders], but Miles is explosive, as you know. Jordan ran extremely hard. So excited for all three of those guys."
Still, it has to be most comforting for the Eagles to know that if they want to use Sproles as a workhorse every now and then, he's as able as he is willing, and that he doesn't care how many touches he gets.
"The way we roll is ... we all get our touches," Sproles said.
That Sproles is not being phased out of this offense says a lot about how much the coaches believe in him. He wasn't brought back just to chase the five players (all retired) ahead of him on the NFL's all-time, all-purpose yards list and have a better chance of landing in the Hall of Fame.
For the record, Sproles is up to 19,629 and on pace to pass Tim Brown (19,682) as early as next week. Once he does, the only ones ahead of him will be Jerry Rice, Brian Mitchell, Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith.
That's some big-time company.
But what he wants more than anything is to play in a Super Bowl for the first time. He was robbed of that chance by a devastating knee injury in the 2017 season. The Eagles won it all anyway.
They still believe their best chance to do it again is with him playing offense as well as special teams.
And that says it all.

What will my Naples real estate taxes or Naples FL property taxes be?
I cannot give an exact answer. However, I can give you the same guidance the county gives, about 1.25% per year. So, if your purchase price is $200,000 you can expect to pay about $2500/year. This does tend to be the case and if it strays from that amount it is usually less. If you would like better clarification you can contact the Collier County Appraisers office www.collierappraiser.com or call (239) 252-4444. Give them the PID or address of the property you are buying and the purchase price and they will give you the expected amount owed.
Naples Property Taxes Assessed Too High?
It's not often that this happens since there have been many sales and valuations to accurately assess taxable values in Naples, but in the case your assessed value is set too high, as a new homeowner, you have recourse:
A property owner is allowed 25 days after the TRIM Notice is mailed to protest the assessment to the county property appraiser. If the arguments of the property owner are valid and have a basis in fact, the county property appraiser is authorized to make a change and to lower the assessed value.

An extra touch of ebony has been used to reinforce the cedar neck and the fingerboard comes with a whole ebony structure. The gold plated machine heads and the golpeador situated right under the sound hole completes the guitar's look.
If you are into Latin music or flamenco, you will be utterly pleased by the perfect tones displayed by the instrument. There are great chances that the most confirmed players become fond of the model but beginners will also want to give it a try thanks to its affordable price and great quality.

Customer Reviews
- 7 FC Brilliant, versatile & underastimated Review by Chef Bert
Great sound, well built, nice details, beautiful finish, low action and very good intonated!!!
I write this review because there is no decent information on the net about the Alhambra 7 FC. Alhambra might have produced less quality, but since beginning of 2012 it is good quality they manufacture.
Nice "A" logo on the headstock indicates the new series. To get the first hand info, I went to a dealer and tried out a 5FP, 7FP and the cypress version 7 FC. My choice was quickly made. The fc sings and has all rhe features you want from a Flamenco guitar. But much more! It has a versatility, making you happy playing other styles. It may be classic, but even blues...
Ignore reviews where people dislike an instrument and mention at the same time the strings were old, surely it will not sound.
Alhambra fits their guitars with d' Addario EHX coated strings. I am personally not fond of coated strings, so I replaced them with fresh ones (Savarez).
It just came alive and sparkles & shines.
An email to Alhambra was replied upon the next day. I now know not only the production date, but some history of the built as well. Great service!

Printing problems LibreOffice 3.6. Few rows don't print properly. [closed]
Hi, I've some rows that don't get printed properly with LibreOffice Writer (looks like when you have a printer nozzle problem with some lines not getting enough ink or not getting ink at all). Thing is when I print a jpeg (a screenshot of the same document) from a browser, the document is properly printed. As I realized that, I've installed Abiword and tried the same document, which get printed properly, without any problem.
The problem seems to be between LibreOffice and Cups. It looks like LibreOffice is somehow overriding Cups settings. I've tried all the different possibilities from LibreOffice printer administration (PostScript driver, level 1.. pdf/8bit..) to no avail.
I would like to know if there is a way to set LibreOffice to change this behavior (like not using the LibreOffice printer administration tool at all).
By the way, I've tried with OpenOffice and the same problem arises.
I'm using an All-in-One Epson Printer (PM-T960) with an epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.2.2 driver for linux(debian) from the vendor.
Thanks a lot.

Running Shoes
Jason Gaillard
Sophy's father died because there was no hospital to treat him when he became ill. Life in the Cambodian village where Sophy and her mother live with their few animals is harsh. She knows that she needs to go to school to become literate and to have the chance of improving her life. But the school is eight kilometres away and dangerous roads have to be crossed. The answer is the gift of some fine running shoes from the number man sent by the government to count the villagers.
Strong dialogue keeps up the pace of the story and the text is often poetic: Sophy moved so quickly in her running shoes that she sailed through the air 'the way a small flat stone skips over water'.
Fine landscape illustrations show vividly the outdoor environment: the hot dusty road below the steps into the wooden houses and the misty atmosphere of the rice fields before sunrise when Sophy begins her run to school. Pictures of the interior of Sophy's house suggest a simple lifestyle with a wooden floor and cooking utensils spread out on it on a cloth.
We see a one-roomed school house full of boys reminding us how educationally disadvantaged girls can be in some countries. And yet it was Sophy's father who taught her to write her name and the name of her village on a blackboard under the shade of a coconut tree. And the number man shows sensitivity towards her dreams and aspirations and gives practical help.
A book like this teaches so much more than many conventional geography books. It helps young children to find connections between their own lives and those of others in different environments and predicaments and encourages both empathy and analysis. For 6 year olds and upwards. MM

Fo-Ti is the blood-tonifying herb Polygonum multiflorum. It is also known as He shou wu. Traditionally it is best known for nourishing and restoring graying hair to its natural color. (Note: hair grows
approximately one-half inch per month so if you want to improve your
hair we suggest you try it for two to three months to judge its effects.) Fo-ti nourishes and improves the function of the Liver, Kidneys, and blood. Li Ching Yuen, a famous Chinese herbalist who reportedly lived to be 256 years old, used Fo-Ti on a daily basis. This herb is thought to have been responsible for his long life although as an herbalist he probably used many other tonic herbs. In another Chinese legend Fo-ti was thought to be responsible for returning natural black color to a previously gray-haired man. The real Chinese name of Polygonum multiflorum is "He Shou Wu" which translates as "black haired Mr. He." Research has shown it may work as a preventative medicine.
The Origin of the Name Fo-ti:
Many websites repeat the legend that "The name Fo Ti was given to the plant by a marketer in the early 1970s for the American herb business." If this was true then why the name Fo-ti? The Chinese name for Polygonum Multiflorum is "He shou wu". Fo-ti doesn't sound anything like that name and has no meaning in Chinese. Our East Earth Trade Winds herbalist says that one of his Chinese herb class teachers at the San Francisco College of Acupuncture (around 1982) told the following story about the origins of the name Fo-ti.
There was a discussion about a powerful herb, Fu zi (aconite), between a Chinese herbalist and an American. On learning that this herb could strengthen the heart, kidneys, and adrenal function the American wanted to buy it. The Chinese herbalist fearing that the American would injure himself or others because he wouldn't understand or appreciate how to use it properly sold him Polygonum Multiflorum instead. This "Fu zi" or "Fo ti" as it became known was still a powerful tonic herb but Polygonum multiflorum is very safe to use. The herb was marketed as Fo-ti and became popular and to this day it is known in the USA as "Fo-ti".
Contains: 100% Polygonum Multiflorum 何首乌 (Chinese: He shou wu; AKA: Fo-ti).
Size: 100 capsules
Use 2-6 capsules per day or as needed. Safe for long-term use.
Note: The efficacy of this product has not been confirmed by research. Traditional use does not establish that the product will achieve the claimed results.

This post is going to probably sound incomprehensible to non-jugglers, so I apologize in advance.
Some of the highlights so far:
- Found out that two great jugglers are moving to Portland (Mel and Briane).
- Learned how to do 7 club 2/3. (person A is 3 3p 4p, person B is 4p 4p 3). j3h and I had been trying to figure out the right way to do this pattern for ages, but we never hit on the right combination before.
- My 5 club pattern is getting better. My record is still 9 catches, but I'm finding I can now concentrate on individual throws.
- Learned a great pattern called "4 choose 2". Complete and total juggling nerd pattern. It turns out that j3h and I independently invented it about a year or two ago, but lacked the skill to juggle it. (4-handed siteswap is 5 6 7).
- Helped test out a brand new pattern called "Steven's Standstill". It a passing pattern where one side has two people playing the role of one person. Except that instead of the two people running around each other, they both stand still (feeder throws right, left, left, right, right, left, left, right. Feedees juggle the gaps). Steven's Seven-club Standstill is pretty great too.
- Learned a great pattern called "clover". I have no idea how to describe it succinctly but it's great fun. Four people, 12 clubs, 6-count. Between passes, the people walk around in a very cool pattern.
- Tried to learn an absolutely phenomenal takeout pattern called "roundabout". Completely failed to learn it. But there was at least one other Portland person at the workshop. I'll post video of it at some point.
Unfortunately, me and sleep haven't been hanging out enough recently. I went to bed at 4:30 AM last night. I'm not sure I've ever been this happy and this tired simultaneously.
Ok. What am I doing typing when there is juggling going on?
