Here Are a Few Facts About Spray Foam Insulation
When it comes to planning out the construction details of your dream house or remodel, there are a few essentials items that can contribute to a efficient home and comfortable living environment. Windows and doors, are important, but the most important item in your home is proper insulation.

What Is Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam insulation is the modern alternative to the traditional and somewhat outdated technique of property insulation through fiberglass. It comprises of a mixture of polyurethane resin and a foaming catalyst, which is used to insulate the roof, attics, ceilings, wall cavities, holes and concrete slabs. Our foam system off gasses only Carbon Dioxide the same gas that you and I breath out, so it is considered to be a non-toxic system compared to some of the other foam systems out there. This form of insulation ensures the efficient conservation of energy on a property, thus ensuring reduction in energy wastage and mounting monthly bills. A high pressure system technique of applying spray foam insulation is used in both newly constructed & remodel projects.
What Is The Difference Of Open And Closed Cell Foam Insulation?
Are you confused with the terminologies? Don't be! Open cell foam insulation is just a type of property insulation that is lighter and has a soft sponge like appearance. It is used 90% of the time in indoor insulation jobs and has a Classic R-Value of about 3.75 per inch and a Effective R-Value of about 7.5 per inch. Closed cell insulation has a denser consistency and is a very good and effective water vapor barrier. It is most often used for insulating house roofs, and other outdoor or commercial property insulation projects. It is used sometimes indoors pending on the application that the contractor / home owner desires.
It has a Classic R-Value of about 7.5 per inch and a Effective R-Value of about 15 per inch. Even though closed cell has a better insulator value per inch it is less desired to use indoors on homes due to its difficulty to work with and clean up. Don't worry about which type of spray foam insulation would be best for your house.

Fiberglass insulation over time will settle and can lose up to 90 % of its insulating value-- Spray foam does not settle! When fiberglass is compressed to fit in and around pipes,wires and other objects in the walls, it can lose up to 80 % of its insulating properties.Spray foam expands around everything and does not lose its insulating properties. Fiberglass is usually installed in a way that makes it difficult to get into all the cornersand other areas that can not be reached by hand. This means that those areas do not getinsulated. Spray foam can be "Sprayed" into the smallest of areas and it expands to over a1000 times, squeezing into and insulating the smallest of areas. Fiberglass is prone to air leaks; it does not seal and allows air movement both withinitself and around. Spray Foam seals and stops air movement within itself and around. A University of Arizona study showed that Spray foamis typically twice as effective as Fiberglass insulation.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Arkansas was optimistic its season would get back on track in Texas, where this group of Razorbacks had been undefeated in four games.
Something else happened at Kyle Field, though.
Arkansas' free-fall became even more embarrassing.
The Razorbacks endured another low moment in a month loaded with them Saturday, suffering a 58-10 loss to Texas A&M in front of 86,442 at Kyle Field. The loss ended Arkansas' four-game win streak against the Aggies and also helped Texas A&M enjoy a historical moment at home: The Aggies notched their first Southeastern Conference win.
It also equaled Arkansas' worst start in its 21 seasons in the SEC. The 1992 Razorbacks also began the year 1-4 during their first season in the conference.
"The season's going south," Arkansas running back Knile Davis said. "We have to resurrect it."
It's hard to imagine that happening, though, after another SEC blowout.
It was hard to decipher which team was an SEC newcomer Saturday with Arkansas, once again, offering little resistance to a Texas A&M offense that piled up 716 yards behind quarterback Johnny Manziel. The Razorbacks gained 515 yards of their own, but managed to just 10 points thanks to three turnovers and red zone woes.
The problems all led to Texas A&M's largest win in the series, topping the 41-0 win against Arkansas in 1942. The 58 points also was the most Texas A&M has scored against the Razorbacks, topping a 42-13 win against Arkansas in 1950.
"This game was real important," Texas A&M offensive lineman Patrick Lewis said. "Coming in the last three years, we haven't fared too good against Arkansas. That big-time comeback they had. This game was real big … We really wanted to prove a point and get our first SEC win and beat Arkansas."
Arkansas, meanwhile, has been preaching progress as it tried to recover from the 52-0 loss to Alabama on Sept. 15 in the SEC opener. But quarterback Tyler Wilson — who called out teammates for giving up against the Crimson Tide — admitted the Razorbacks failed Saturday.
Arkansas has been outscored 110-10 in two SEC games.
"It was back to where it was against Alabama, unfortunately," Wilson said. "We had progress last week. Early we came out in this game and marched the ball down the field; had good body language, I thought, and was ready to go. Then things started to go a little bit sour and you started to see that — myself included."
Arkansas — which led 10-7 — lost control Saturday behind a putrid second quarter.
The Razorbacks were gashed repeatedly by quarterback Manziel and the Aggies, allowing scores on big plays. Arkansas' offense had no answers after a confident start, either, punting the ball away and throwing a key interception.
The turning point came with Arkansas trailing 13-10. The Razorbacks put together another solid drive that reached the Texas A&M 19, but it stalled with a fumble by running back Knile Davis. The Razorbacks did recover the loose ball, but Wilson threw a pass that was intercepted by Texas A&M defensive back Steven Terrell.
It was returned to the 50-yard line.
Texas A&M covered those 50 yards in three plays, pushing its lead to 20-10 on Manziel's touchdown pass to running back Ben Malena. Arkansas went three plays and out on its next possession, then Manziel threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to receiver Ryan Swope to give the Aggies a 27-10 lead just before the end of the half.
"I don't know where we went wrong," Davis said. "We had the momentum flowing. We were pumped. We were ready to go. It just turned away from us."
The only hope at halftime: Arkansas trailed Texas A&M by 18 points at halftime in last year's 42-38 win in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. But it was clear the Razorbacks didn't have a similar comeback in them early in the third quarter, when Wilson threw another interception on Arkansas' first possession and Texas A&M quickly scored.
Manziel was key in the rout, turning in a dazzling performance against an anemic defense. The freshman completed 29 of 38 passes for a school-record 453 yards with three touchdowns and also rushed for a game-high 104 yards with a touchdown.
He set an SEC record for total offense (557 yards), breaking a mark held by former Ole Miss quarterback Archie Manning and LSU's Rohan Davey.
"When you've got a quarterback like Johnny, you've got to stay on your toes," Malena said.
Arkansas couldn't and Manziel made them pay. He left the field in the fourth quarter, but the blowout wasn't complete. Texas A&M continued to shred the Arkansas defense in the final minutes and scored one final touchdown to make it 58-10.
"It's not their job to keep the score down," Arkansas coach John L. Smith said when asked if he was surprised the Aggies were throwing the ball late. "It's our job to keep the score down. So I've never, ever criticized anybody for what somebody might call running the score up.
"That's what they do. When they put their offense out there they try to score. We have to be man enough to say it's our job to defend it."
The 58 points allowed were Arkansas' third-highest in an SEC game. It also is the first time the Razorbacks have allowed 50 points or more in consecutive SEC games.
"You have to put your arm around them and keep hugging them and encouraging them and kicking them in the tail as well and let them know you can't give up on each other," Smith said. "We haven't given up on anybody. You have to keep believing. Quit isn't in our vocabulary and you can't allow it to be."

To mark the release of Herbie Hancock's The Imagine Project, his latest CD, the Grammy-winning jazz great is sharing a special treat with his fans on Hulu: a making of documentary that follows Hancock around the world as he collaborates with a dozen musicians, from well-known artists like Seal and Pink to Latin superstar Juanes and Malian singer Oumou Sangare, on a selection of covers that reflect messages of global peace. Below, the musical pioneer tells us a little more about the project. — Rebecca Harper (), Editor
Tell us about The Imagine Project — how did you embark on such an ambitious, world-crossing project?
Herbie Hancock: It was an idea that grew out of something that was kind of bubbling in my head anyway, and a suggestion from my attorney. I was thinking about what would be the purpose of making an album — that's what I do now; I think about what purpose it would serve, what would I want it to be about, what do I want it to do. My conclusion is usually that I want it to address some issue of today. I was thinking about globalization, and my attorney called me at around that same time and said, "I have an idea for you that I think fits into the way you think, and I think it's pretty compatible with the Buddhism that you practice. How about taking John Lennon's song,' Imagine,' and using it as a centerpiece or springboard to doing a record about peace?"
And when your attorney comes up with a good idea, you can't say no, right?
Exactly! That's right. You know, ideas don't just have to come from me. Wherever they come from is fine. It really did fit in with everything I've been thinking about, so we decided to this Imagine Project, which is about peace through global collaboration.
After spending several weeks, maybe even more than a month, thinking about all of the ramifications of it and the possible connections, just getting the details of what it could mean — I want that firmly established, because that's a foundation that will give me direction, even before writing music. I decided that the best way to establish global collaboration as a means for peace is to honor various cultures outside of my own. How many ways can I do that? One way, which I thought would be a great idea, is to go to these countries. Maybe not all of them, because I was also thinking about the idea of making it a project that's conscious of the environment. We still wanted to do that, to pay attention to the carbon footprint that we used for flying. We recorded in six different countries and seven languages are represented, with artists from 11 different countries.
I imagine any artist would drop anything would come to you, but it's great that you went and experienced their cultures firsthand and let that seep into the music, becoming part of the album.
The thing that really struck me because I get to travel throughout the world as a musician, especially a jazz musician, I've noticed that on the charts of several countries — and not just European countries, but Asian countries and various others throughout the world — quite a few of the top 10 records really come from American music, but they're always in English! Even though they sell globally, they're not really done with a global perspective. I decided I wanted to do a really global record that's just that from the onset. That's when I decided that I would have it in multiple languages. One of the best ways to honor a culture outside of one's own is through language, showing that you have enough respect and are paying enough attention to the culture that you would bother to have their language represented. I was able to do that on this record.
How did you choose some of the cultures represented in The Imagine Project?
While I was still trying to put together the basic purpose and foundation, it actually was already on my schedule to go to India under the auspices of a partnership between the State Department and the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. We were there with Martin Luther King III and several congressmen to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s first travel to India to study Gandhi's non-violent teachings. So it was a historic commemoration of that event. We all felt honored to be part of that and to represent America's cultural art form, jazz. While we were there, we actually did interact with Indian musicians. Since I knew that was coming up real soon, I thought maybe there would be a day off and we could record the first track in India. We hadn't discussed songs or anything. But anyway, we finally put that together and Chaka Khan, who was actually going over there as one of the cultural representatives, I asked her if she would be interested in making this recording with me and she agreed to it.
We did this first record in Mumbai, and it's with Chaka Khan singing in English, of course, and an Indian singer named Chitra singing in Hindi. Anoushka Shankar, who is Ravi Shankar's daughter and also the half-sister of Norah Jones, is playing sitar. We all did that live in the studio in Mumbai and then later on, Wayne Shorter came on the track with his amazing soprano saxophone work. He had never heard the track before — he just wanted us to put the equipment into record and get his first response from hearing it the first time. And that's what's on the record. I couldn't ask for anything more perfect — it's amazing. That's almost unheard of, but he did that.
We continued on and recorded in Paris with some groups from Mali, [including] Oumou Sangare from Bamako. She's on the "Imagine" track and sings in Bambara, which is one the Malian languages. This is the first track on the record, and intro is Pink and Seal. The two of them and me, just the three of us, played this slow intro. This rhythm starts up and it's a combination of people with a group Konono No 1 — they're from the Congo, and they play thumb pianos, large ones so they have a deep tone. It's kind of the foundation for the rhythm. We have a guitarist named Lionel Loueke who is from Benin, West Africa. He's been in the country for several years — working with me for about four years now. He's an amazing guitarist. Anyway, India.Arie is singing on top of this rhythm, she's singing "Imagine" — not as a ballad; it has a rhythm. It has a nice kind of beat. Then Jeff Beck comes in and plays, too. It's a combination of people; it just moves from one to another.
We also did "Don't Give Up," Peter Gabriel's beautiful tune which he originally recorded with Kate Bush. Pink is doing that as a duet with John Legend. Pink and John Legend — it's off the hook. It is amazing, the voices are fantastic, the quality of their voices and the way it feels. We also have a track with Dave Matthews and a track with Juanes, who's a fantastic young Colombian singer — he's well-known on the Latin circuit. There's also The Chieftains, who are a traditional Irish group, along with Lisa Hannigan, who is also Irish. She used to sing with Damien Rice, and they were on my record Possibilities. She sings Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changing." Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks also sing Leon Russell's "Space Captain," which Joe Cocker made famous.
There's a young British singer, James Morrison, singing Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come." There's an artist from Brazil, Ceu. She's a young, vibrant singer from Sao Paolo that's one of the hottest new singers on the scene in Brazil. That's quite a variety of material on the record.
How did you go about choosing which songs were part of the album?
Actually, that was done with a team of people, primarily Larry Klein, who is the overall producer. He did a lot of research to suggest certain artists and certain songs. We all wanted the songs to have something to do with the idea of peace — not just global peace, but even family peace, or peace within the individual. Because very often, we're conflicted. We're in one place, but we want to be someplace else. Or we're doing one job, but we'd rather be doing another job. There are all sorts of things that happen even on the individual level. I looked back and said, you know these are all inspirational songs, inspirational for the human spirit, the human condition, and the day-to-day obstacles that people have to deal with. Like the song "Don't Give Up" is the perfect representative of that idea. We had a really great time making the record.
What was the idea behind filming all of this and putting it online?
Well, I learned from my record Possiblities.We shot that one and made a film. That film has shown on Showtime or HBO several times, and it was on HDNet. Especially since we were traveling to several countries this time, it's a journey of what's in the people's heart. It said something that needs to be emphasized and can't be emphasized too much.
America is an immigrant country. We are all not from this country, for the most part. Our ancestors are from all over the planet. Right now, immigration is an issue. If you want to see an immigrant, all you have to do is look in the mirror. Because we Americans have threads of our beginnings throughout the planet, I was just in various countries that contain those threads. Those are really our people, the Indians, the Brazilians, the Africans, the Europeans… that's really what the album is all about.

The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department at University Hospital offers Pilates rehabilitation therapy. Pilates is a form of core and extremity strengthening that can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including low back pain, shoulder pain, and knee pain.
Pilates (pronounced peh-lot-ees) is an exercise technique developed by Joseph Pilates eighty years ago. Pilates was influenced by both western and eastern methods of exercise. He sought to blend both to create an exercise system with the perfect balance of strength and flexibility without excess muscle bulk. His technique has been widely used in the professional dance community for decades and in recent years the medical community has realized the effectiveness of Pilates and its application to injury prevention and rehabilitation.
The goals of Pilates are to restore muscle strength and length, correct faulty movement patterns, and to improve core control and body awareness. The exercises are adaptable to all levels of fitness and can be applied to multiple diagnoses.
Treatment may include mat exercises and/or exercise on specialized equipment. Three outpatient sites have equipment including Reformers, Combo Chairs, Ladder Barrels and Cadillacs (Trapeze Table). Please arrive 15 minutes early to your first appointment to complete paperwork and wear or bring comfortable clothing to exercise in.
Pilates is offered to individuals receiving services within the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physical therapy program, based on the needs of the patient, following a complete evaluation.A physician's referral is required for evaluation and treatment within this program.

Playing Lands of Lore on the iPhone is amazingly good with "click-and-drag" mode from ScummVM, and I really want to play Eye of the Beholder 2: The Legend of Darkmoon now that 1.6.0 supports it. Is there any news of an update for the iOS?
The buildbot toolchain for iOS has now been updated.
You can download the latest v1.7.0git development snapshot build here for the older toolchain:
And this is the v1.7.0git built with the newer clang based toolchain:
I am not familiar with these terminologies (buildbot, toolchain, clang) How do I run this? The old 1.5.0 package on downloads section is a single Deb file which makes it easier for installation, but these downloads have a lot of files.
My take on it is that I have to manually copy the ScummVM.app folder with an app like Filezilla onto the iPhone right? (I'm also guessing .dat files are the engines?)
If you are interested about those terminologies, then a quick Google would show what they are:
We have a buildbot instance to automatically compile the latest source code into executables so that users and developers can test without having to set up the compiler and other tools. The iOS toolchain on this used an older compiler and had a number of issues. We have recently added a newer compiler and toolchain using the clang compiler, so there are now two "iphone" builds... old and new (-clang).
We are keeping the older one currently until we are sure that the new builds are tested and shown to not be exhibiting any major issues.
Anyway, sorry about the packaging. It should be possible to get the buildbot to output .deb files for this, but as this is intended for developers/power users, no one had bothered.
You are correct in your assumption. You use "tar -xvjf iphone-clang-master-latest.tar.bz2" to expand and then just copy the resulting ScummVM.app folder over to your phone using Filezilla overwriting the existing files from v1.5.0.
Not quite right. The .dat files are external data files for various engines and required. The engines are compiled into the main ScummVM executable as this is a "static" build.
Forum says users with less than 5 posts cannot attach external links, since I am attaching pictures I will post it in the next one.Last edited by joanthedark on Tue May 13, 2014 7:37 pm; edited 1 time in total
Thank you for the links! Now I understand what they are.
I downloaded both and tried both versions and they do work, however, the "click-and-drag" mode on both versions seems to be harder to press in-game and easier on the first screen (as soon as you open the app where you can choose which game to play).
When I am able to enable the click-and-drag mode in-game, the mouse does not follow my movements, it is on the bottom lower part of the game (enabling it on first screen made it impossible to touch "Start game" on the top right of the screen because there was no way I could reach that unless I was in the default "mouse touchpad" mode)
Besides, I could not run Eye of the Beholder 2 on the new versions, this is what appears when I try to:
I decided to return to the older version so I had to reinstall the app from Cydia (1.5.0), now that I had Eye of the Beholder 2 on the iPhone I tried to run it to see what happens:
So I was wondering, maybe if I add the engine I would be able to play it on 1.5.0 with the accurate click-and-drag mode? (Although Eye of the Beholder 2 uses Kyra engine, same one as Lands of Lore, so I don't know how that would work).
I have no idea about that, or if it has got "worse" on iOS. I can only link you to the control instructions here:
If you think there is a regression here on iOS touchscreen behaviour, please file a bug and we will try to investigate.
No, firstly, even with engines built as dynamic plugins, you can't use the plugins from one version with another "main" version in any reliable way. Anyway, this is moot as the iOS binaries are built as a single static executable.
That error is very odd. My version of EOB2 is from The Forgotten Realms collection and does not have any file called level17.inf as the last one is level16.inf.
Firstly, please try with your EOB2 datafiles on your desktop machine i.e. with the latest Win32, Mac OSX or Linux build of ScummVM v1.7.0 from here:
If you can replicate the same error there, then this is likely to be an issue with your EOB2 datafiles. You should recopy them from the original CD / disks.
If not, then ensure that the EOB2 datafiles are not corrupted during the file transfer over FTP to your phone. You need to ensure that Binary transfer mode is used.
The easiest way to diagnose this is to copy them to the phone and then back to your desktop machine, then do a file difference. If they differ, then check your Filezilla settings.
Finally, if you eliminate these two likely possibilities, then you will need to open a bug on our tracker and attach a file listing with MD5sums of your EOB2 datafiles as you either have a variant version or we have an issue with the iOS file access code in either the Kyra engine or iOS backend.
Thank you so much for your responses so far!
I managed to make Eye of the Beholder 2 work, I tried the same files I was using onto the PC version, and it said the same "level17" file thing, so I tried compiling new datafiles and... it kept saying the same, however, I removed all the saved files I was using (ScummVM gives you an option before starting the same if you want to use those DOS saves in the emulator), and this time it worked! So it was a problem with the saves it seems.
Although I still have the same problem with the "Click-and-drag" mode, I know how to trigger the mode, but in-game it is harder to activate it for some reason (easier in the "game selection" screen, first try and it works like a charm). This makes it impossible to start the game because the response is not the same I give with my finger, let me use a picture for better understanding:
The response of the mouse is way too off my finger in Click-and-drag mode, so there's no way I can start the game because when I try to, the mouse is on the middle of the screen, if I put my finger on the middle, the mouse will be on the bottom left corner, and so on.
This happens with both Old and Clang versions of ScummVM you provided
And just in case, I'm using iPhone 4s version 7.0.4
I do believe the problem is on the coding of X and Y axis on Click-and-drag mode, so if you could test it yourself with the downloads you provided and see if it happens to you as well then it would explain the problem occurs in these versions and its not something that is only occuring to me.
I'm afarid that I can't test any of these issues as I don't have any iOS devices.
I will see if I can ask one of the developers with an iOS device to test this.

I can't reproduce this with my iPhone 3G in click-and-drag mode. Did you try changing the screen orientation by rotating your iPhone to see whether it's gone afterwards (i.e. try to change into portrait mode by holding your phone in the normal, i.e. "upwards", position and then rotate it back into landscape mode by "rotating" it either left or right).

Yes, I rotated the phone and the mouse is still inaccurate to my touch.
The previous screenshot was taken with the phone rotated 90º to the left, I tried rotating it 90º to the right and now the mouse does the total opposite to the screenshot (trying to touch the start button moves the mouse to the upper right corner of the screen)
Also, when I turn off click-and-drag mode afterwards, the mouse stays in the same mode for an unknown reason, even when the popup "click-and-drag mode off" appears on the screen.
This doesn't happen with the 1.5.0 version from Cydia store though, so I was wondering, can you guys provide a 1.6.0 version instead of a 1.7.0 to test it myself and see if this error happens there as well?
The buildbot provides a "stable" build of the current release branch i.e. v1.6.0 in addition to the "development" build from the master development branch:
Nope, same thing is happening on 1.6.0 oh well, thank you very much for your help anyways! It seems I am stuck with 1.5.0 for a long time and no Eotb2 for me.
joanthedark: So the "gross" bisection shows that this problem appears somewhere between v1.5.0 and v1.6.0.
If you would be willing to test some more versions, I can do a bisection with you to narrow down when this occurred and we can possibly locate why.
The first step will be for me to manually build a v1.5.0 debug version on the Buildbot toolchain and get you to test. If this build is "good" i.e. does not exhibit the problem, then we know we can replicate the issue and track it down.
If this build also exhibits the problem, then that is more of a pain as we may be looking at some kind of toolchain issue or something that the iOS porter has not communicated or documented for the buildbot maintainers.
Please indicate if you are willing to do this (it will probably take around 5-10 builds to be tested)...
If you are, it would probably be best to continue this discussion in realtime on IRC in #scummvm on freenode.

Alexander McQueen menswear show at Pitti Uomo, Milan
Click image to enlarge
The standout show at Pitti Uomo was, in my mind, Alexander McQueen's "The McQueensberry Rules". Where most Milan designers literally translated the gloom of the economic crisis McQueen added a murderous glint to the proceedings with aristocratic eleagance and a glossy nostalgia for a pre-Thatcherite Britain.
Armani clashes with Dolce & Gabbana over trousers
An epic fashion row has erupted over a pair of quilted silk trousers seen on both the D&G and Armani catwalks at the Milan menswear shows.
Armani started it all by saying: "Now they copy, later they will learn."
Pitti Uomo: Givenchy menswear
Givenchy chose to give a presentation of their clothes at Pitti Uomo in Milan yesterday, take a look at the video to see the clothes, which consisted largely of avant-garde style traditional menswear. The collection gave off slightly post-apocalyptic vibes with fur coats and military tailoring.

New kid on the publishing block, Buck Magazine has a great interview with John Skelton the creative director of London based fashion website Oki-Ni. The Interview is in depth and covers the whole gamut of menswear and retail answering some burning questions for the consumer such as what Oki-Ni means in Japanese, Buck also gets John to pick his top products from Oki-Ni– some of which are pictured above.
Brioni bring their tailoring expertise to the Royal College of Art
Italian menswear label Brioni has agreed to renew their sponsorship of the Menswear fashion Design course at London's Royal College of Art.
Christophe Decarnin Jumps On The Menswear Bandwagon!
WWD has confirmed the widespread rumour that Christophe Decarnin is to design a menswear range as part of the Balmain label. Apparently, it will be launched at Men's Fashion Week in Paris next January.
Decarnin has transformed the Balmain label into a fashion so on the edge it's almost falling off and his collections have become a staple at each season's Paris shows. The Balmain show of this season featured a Madonna soundtrack and rah-rah skirt haute couture that, in these times of economic crisis, looked set to be a bit of a failure. However, as is the fashion way, magazines have been calling in the collection left, right and centre and Fashionista has stated that it will no doubt be the same with Balmain Menswear.
Either way, I just want Christophe to know that he can send any samples in the direction of Shiny Towers for a full review (and road-test!)

Brandish Inspiration: The Sartorialist Shoots Chanel Menswear in Fantastic Man 8
It's that time of year when men and women of every age are all forgetting about work and turning their thoughts to something much more important- Christmas presents. I'm not talking about gifts for the slightly odd uncle or some flowers for that 80-year old neighbour who suddenly said 'hello' yesterday even though you heard she had died two months ago (just me?) I mean a Chanel Menswear tweed coat.
The great Karl Lagerfeld is no idiot when it comes to the gift-giving season and for the eighth issue of Fantastic Man, he has asked Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) to shoot the latest collection of Chanel goodies. Wow.

Cabin-Style Suites With Massive Indoor Waterpark
High above Fort Mackenzie—a four-story waterlogged treehouse that feels like it could be a part of The Swiss Family Robinson or Pirates of the Caribbean—a 1,000-gallon bucket slowly fills with water. Suddenly, the big bucket topples, drenching those gathered below in a torrent of water. Heated to a balmy 84 degrees, Great Wolf Lodge Cincinnati/Mason's indoor waterpark and its more than 10 splash-filled attractions draw visitors looking for an aquatic getaway no matter the season. In addition to braving Fort Mackenzie, you can crash into 3-foot waves at Slap Tail Pond, careen down the Hydro Plunge water roller coaster, and unwind on a raft in the Crooked Creek lazy river.
The 79,000-square-foot waterpark is merely one of the many activities at the hotel's multientertainment campus. At the MagiQuest live-action adventure, kids wield magic wands and journey through a kingdom to meet mythical creatures, including a pixie and a dragon. More than 100 games, such as skee-ball and virtual pinochle, attract gamers to the Northern Lights Arcade, with prizes and games geared toward all ages. Scooops Kid Spa gives manicures and pedicures to pintsize patrons sitting atop ice-cream-cone stools and banana-split thrones—free ice cream completes each visit.
Up to six vacationers can comfortably sleep in Wolf Den, KidKamp, or family suites, where they can plan their daily itineraries in semiprivate living areas.

Goffstown development gets extension from board
By HENRY METZ
Union Leader Correspondent
GOFFSTOWN - The zoning board last night approved a two-year extension for a special exception to allow a developer to build 76 attached single-family townhouses on a 37-acre lot off Bog Road and Mountain Road.
James Coughlin Jr., attorney and trustee for Woodland Trust, won approval for the extension despite objections from abutter Catherine Whooten, the chairman of the zoning board who recused herself from deliberating and voting on the request.
The reason for the extension, Coughlin said, is that the trust continues to seek financing for the $10 million project.
"The difficulty we've been having is to obtain adequate financing from the banks," Coughlin told the board. "These days it is getting better, but the banks are still leery."
Coughlin said he's working with another group of individuals who are self-financed, and he expects to break ground on the project perhaps as soon as this summer.
In making her objections, Whooten told the board that Coughlin's request for an extension of the special exception should be denied because - among other things - Coughlin has not provided the town with $150,000 he promised as a contribution toward a planned roundabout near the development. That roundabout, which voters approved in March, will be built at the intersection of Route 113, Route 13, Main and Pleasant streets.
"This $150,000 needs to be paid now," Whooten told the board. "It needs to be bonded; the taxpayers need to have a secure hold on that money."
But other board members disagreed, saying the $150,000 was not a condition set by the zoning board. "We shouldn't even be discussing the $150,000 because that's a planning board condition," said board member Vivian Blondeau.
The agreement with the planning board called for Coughlin to make the contribution after construction on the project begins.
One zoning board member questioned why Coughlin should have to pay that contribution if it turns out his project never comes to fruition. "I feel like he shouldn't be paying if he's not going to be introducing additional traffic" to the town, said Joseph Femino.
Whooten also objected to Coughlin's plan on the grounds that the location is not of adequate size for the intended use, saying the project received approval from state agencies based on outdated regulations.
Specifically, Whooten called for Coughlin's plan to be reviewed again by the Department of Environmental Services and that a newer, more updated wetlands survey be conducted by the state.
"Because of the size and magnitude of this development, it would be in the best interests of this board . that this application be re-reviewed by the (DES) alteration of terrain board," Whooten said. She added that water treatment plans called for in the proposal "are old and don't meet the newer requirements." She said the newest DES regulations went into effect in 2009.
Coughlin rebutted Whooten over the need for a new wetlands survey. "The wetland survey has been performed at least three times since 2005," he said, adding that the system under the current plan calls for underground tanks to treat the water before it gets released into the ground. "I think to pick and choose your words is not good," Coughlin told Whooten.
Femino said he doesn't believe Coughlin is under any obligation to do more than he's done when it comes to obtaining a special exception from the zoning board. "He seems to have all his ducks in a row," Femino said.

Live a Colossians 3 lifestyle
I want to live a Colossians, Chapter 3 lifestyle. Will you join me in this in 2012?
Let's look at the verses in the Book of Colossians where Paul wrote from prison to the people of Colossae in approximately A.D. 62. The purpose of this letter, carried by Tychicus, was to refute errors in the church of Colossae. Paul attempted to correct trends in worship there he had heard about. He wrote about the deity of Christ, the Christians' completion in Him, family ties, duties, masters and servants. Paul himself explained his purpose in writing in Chapter 1, Verses 10 and 11: "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness." Sounds good and needful, doesn't it, for this day and age?
In Verse 1 of Chapter 3, Paul teaches that if we are Christians, we are to seek those things that are above. In other words, we are to labor, look, and love the things of Heaven and not be so bothered about the things that surround us on earth. In Verse 2 of this powerful chapter, Paul says not only are we to look and see this things, but we are also to set our affection, or our hearts and mind, on the things that are above if we are to live a pleasing life here on earth.
Reading these verses in Colossians, I am reminded of John Milton, the highly regarded English poet (1608-1674) who wrote and spoke English, Italian, and the difficult Latin. In his highly acclaimed work, "Paradise Lost," Milton wrote, "The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, or a Hell of Heaven." This blind and impoverished writer knew that whatever we feed into our hearts and mind will dictate our actions, so be very careful what you absorb into your being in 2012.
A lot is at stake, and there are penalties in disobedience, according to Verse 6. We are clearly given instructions in Verses 7, 8 and 9 about things we should put out of our lives. Paul wrote that Christians should get rid of anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of our mouth, and the telling of lies to each other. My, what would some folks have left to talk about if they obeyed this Scripture? Beginning in Verse 12 of Chapter 3, Paul tells us that it is good to put on mercy, kindness, humbleness, meekness, long-suffering, forebearing (putting up with) one another, and forgiving each other. He teaches that as Christ has forgiven us, so must we forgive others if we are to be happy. That one act in itself could change our families, our churches, our places of employment, and our country. Verse 14 says that above all these things, put on charity, which is most often translated "love."
Verses 15 and 16 urge us to allow the peace of God to rule in our hearts while we allow the Word of Christ to dwell in us. Verse 17 of Chapter 3 gives a big order — "Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."Now, I do realize that I am Protestant in belief and teach in a Baptist church, and that some of our readers are from other faiths and walks of life. However, after studying this chapter in great detail, I am convinced that the principles for living will work for all of us if we truly want to live meaningful, helpful and happy lives in this New Year. I do, and I trust you do, too.

Experts recommend closer scrutiny of radiation exposure from CT scans
UC Davis radiology expert leads published review of radiation exposure risks from medical tests
Posted Dec. 5, 2012
Amid increasing fear of overexposure to radiation from computed tomography (CT) scans, a panel of experts has recommended more research on the health effects of medical imaging and ways to reduce unnecessary CT tests, as well as industry standardization of CT machines.
The recommendations, published in the November 2012 issue of Radiology, were developed at the Radiation Dose Summit, organized by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB). The summit included more than 100 medical physicists, radiologists, cardiologists, engineers, industry representatives and patient advocates. The proceedings, held in Bethesda, Md., in early 2011, covered currently understood risks of radiation exposure from CT scans, set priorities for future research and called for changes to industry practices.
"The number of CT exams in the U.S. has increased by about 10 percent each year over the past decade," said John Boone, UC Davis professor of radiology and lead author of the Radiology article. "This trend underscores the importance of developing a better understanding of the health risks of radiation exposure versus the benefits of enhanced diagnosis."
Still learning the biologic effects
The experts conceded that despite widespread public concern about radiation risks, the biologic effects from medical imaging tests are not entirely understood. Most direct evidence comes from the effects of instantaneous, high-dose, whole-body exposures due to industrial accidents and from survivors of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Whether these findings can be extrapolated to people exposed to occasional and much smaller dosages applied to only parts of the body is uncertain.
"The standards regarding 'safe levels' of radiation were designed for workplace safety and are very conservative," said Boone. "We don't know whether the established thresholds are really meaningful for exposure from medical testing."
The experts pointed out that because there is a high background incidence of cancer worldwide, the small incremental increase in cancer that may be attributable to low doses of radiation from medical imaging is extremely difficult to ascertain. They stated that national and international registries that track cancers and patient exposures to medical radiation may one day make it possible to conduct large epidemiological studies that could help make such associations.
"The standards regarding 'safe levels' of radiation were designed for workplace safety and are very conservative. We don't know whether the established thresholds are really meaningful for exposure from medical testing."
— John Boone
"In reaction to media coverage of radiation overexposure cases, some patients refuse to undergo medical imaging procedures," said Boone. "Yet for almost all patients, the risks of foregoing a needed medical procedure far outweigh any potential radiation-associated risks."
Even accurately recording patient exposures of radiation from medical imaging is extremely difficult, according to the authors. Although it is easy to ascertain how much radiation a machine administers during an imaging study, the amount actually received by a patient depends on various factors including body size. For example, because of differences in body mass, children and small adults can receive a dose of radiation two to three times that of larger people, even when the dose administered is the same.
Other factors, such as whether the patient lies on a moving or stationary table, also affect the radiation dose received. Federally sponsored research is needed to develop methods to more accurately measure patient exposures from different types of CT scans, the authors suggested.
A call for manufacturing standards
Summit participants also discussed the role of human error in CT scanning, which has resulted in widely publicized instances of radiation overexposure. They point out that CT operators frequently are responsible for several machines made by different manufacturers, each of which may utilize dissimilar nomenclature and control consoles, thereby increasing the chance for error.
"For some scanners, you turn a dial to the right to get a larger dose, and for others, turning it the same way gives a smaller dose," said Boone. "There are so many differences in current CT scanners, it can be like driving a car with the brake pedal on the left in the morning, then with the brake on the right in the afternoon."
CT scans should be built more like cars, he argued, which may have different exteriors, dashboards and seat coverings but are standardized across the industry so that they are driven the same way, making driving errors unlikely to occur when switching from one kind of car to another.
The experts call for academic and professional radiology societies, as well as industry trade organizations, to exert pressure on CT manufacturers to standardize nomenclature and control consoles to help avoid mistakes.
The experts also considered "wasteful imaging" ― tests that have little impact on patient diagnoses or outcomes ― resulting in unnecessary radiation exposures. Wasteful imaging can arise if physicians are unaware of a patient's prior tests or don't really know whether a scan will benefit a patient with certain signs and symptoms. In addition, physicians may order tests they know are only marginally useful to avoid accusations of negligence in a possible future lawsuit. The experts recommend use of information technology to develop national imaging and radiation exposure registries, as well as standardized protocols that guide physicians on the use of optimal imaging modalities for different clinical problems.
The University of California recently provided grants to all five of its medical schools to develop methods for more accurate measures of radiation exposure from CT scans and to build protocols that improve diagnostic information and reduce radiation risks. According to Boone, the tools under development are very powerful and will move the UC system toward achieving the goals outlined during the Radiation Dose Summit.
The article is titled, "Radiation exposure from CT scans: How to close our knowledge gaps, monitor and safeguard exposure ― proceedings and recommendations of the Radiation Dose Summit, sponsored by NIBIB, February 24-25, 2011."
The other authors of the article are Steven Seltzer of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Mass., William Hendee, from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, and Michael McNitt-Gray from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

Cairo: An Egyptian court has acquitted 10 policemen and four civilians of the killings of several protesters during the 2011 uprising against former president Hosni Mubarak.
Nearly 200 policemen and Mubarak-era officials have been charged with the killing of 900 protesters in various trials since his ouster. Most of the suspects have been acquitted.
Lawyers and rights activists say the prosecutors` cases are weak and laws have no adequate provisions to try officials for such crimes.
Egypt`s state news agency MENA says the court today found the policemen, a businessman and his three sons not guilty of killing 17 protesters in January 2011 in Suez a city at the southern tip of the Suez Canal that saw some of the first protester deaths in dramatic confrontations with police.

Heart of Illinois Conference volleyball tournament
"Beast" is not the word one would use to describe Tessa Holland, except when talking about her play on the volleyball court. Holland's prowess at the net was the key in the Knights advancing to the Heart of Illinois Conference tournament championship.
Holland's defense allowed Fieldcrest to post a 25-23, 25-17 victory over third-seeded Tri-Valley in the first semifinal match Thursday.
No. 2 Fieldcrest will take on top-seed Dee-Mack in Saturday's final. The Chiefs got past Lexington in the late semi.
The seed have held true through the tournament as the higher seed has prevailed in each match. This has set up a 1 vs. 2 in the title round, and a 3 vs. 4 in the third-place match.
Holland made five blocks early in the second set as the Knights took control. Her defense was key as Fieldcrest created space.
After escaping with a two-point win in the opener, the Knights reeled off six points that put the Vikings in a hole. Holland had three blocks and a kill during the spurt.
But Tri-Valley responded with five straight points to stay close. Haley Ruestman's kill got a sideout to end the run and took the serve that helped FHS rebuild a comfortable lead.
"They bounced back, it was like, 'OK, I guess we're starting at 6-5,'" FHS head coach Cathy Sanders said. "I wasn't sure how that was going to turn out. I thought we lit up a little bit. We had great blocks."
Tri-Valley misplayed the first serve and then it went Holland block, Holland block, Tri-Valley timeout, Holland block, Holland kill and the Knights had a 12-5 lead. Ruestman went crosscourt for a kill and a 13-5.
"Usually I'm not the strongest blocker, but tonight I knew it was important to block because we wanted to get to the championship," Holland said. "That was a good motivator."
Fieldcrest was not challenged the rest of the way. Kaitlyn Petersen led the charge down the stretch with a couple of kills and solid defense.
The entire team played well on the defensive end as Tri-Valley had trouble mounting much of an attack after the second run.
"When teams go on a run on you, your momentum goes down," Holland said. "But once you start getting it back, you're more excited."
The excitement came in the first game and after the match. The game was close, even though the Knights had a lead as big as seven points.
The Vikings cut into the margin, finally tying it at 17-17 before taking the lead.
Fieldcrest tied it at 19-19 and got the lead back. A Ruestman kill put FHS ahead 21-19 and led to a timeout.
Tri-Valley got a sideout after the respite and tied it up three times, the last being at 23-23 as the teams traded scores.
Petersen drove home an attack to make it 24-23 and then won the match with another kill.
Holland finished with 9 kills and 6 blocks. Petersen also had 9 kills and Ruestman collected 6 kills and 6 service points. Gracie Wiesenhofer made 15 assists.
Maddie Merritt had 12 kills for Tri-Valley. Taylor Tedrick had 25 assists and 6 service points.
Dee-Mack relied on a strong serving attack to dispose of the Minutemen 25-16, 25-19 in the other semifinal.
Kyleigh Block went on a serving run that tore up Lexington in the first set. LHS had taken a 10-9 lead but a sideout tied at 10-10 and then Block got the ball to serve.
Her powerful jump serve, with its hard topspin, pushed the Chiefs into a 21-10 lead. Block had six aces and the Lexington receivers had trouble making good passes with the serves they were able to bump.
"We really didn't have an answer for Kyleigh Block," LHS head coach Julie Strating said. "We took timeouts and tried different formations to try to slow her down. We expected it, we just didn't have an answer."
Dee-Mack's net defense held the Minutemen in check. The usually powerful attack of Erica Davis, Tessa Walcott and Melissa Swartz was held in check. Davis led LHS with 4 kills. Lillie Walcott had 6 assists and Gabby Freed served up 6 points.
The Chiefs were led by Lauren Anderson with 11 kills. Block had 22 points, including 9 aces. Jessey Lee added 13 points from behind the line.
"We got lucky when got on some runs with our servers, otherwise it would have been closer," Dee-Mack head coach Brandon Mueller said. "They were right there with us.
"I thought Lauren Anderson hit pretty well for us on the outside, but Lexington did a lot of things that got us out of our system."
The Minutemen reached the semifinal round with a 25-23, 25-12 win over El Paso-Gridley in the first match of the evening.
Lexington was able to persevere in the opening set despite giving away a lead late. The Minutemen kept that momentum rolling in the second set by taking a quick 6-1 lead. The last two points before an EPG timeout were ace serves from Tessa Walcott.
Despite a couple of long rallies, the Minutemen were able to keep the Titans in check with a hard attacking net game.
LHS collected 15 kills in the second game alone. It had 28 kills in the match. Tessa Walcott had 11 kills and Swartz added 7 and Erica Davis delivered 5 successful attacks.
Rebekah Ehresman had 9 kills for the Titans.
The first set was nearly everything EPG head coach Penny Grusy was hoping for after falling to the Minutemen last week.
Lexington appeared to be taking absolute control when Davis recorded a block that made it 17-12. EPG clawed its way back to a 22-22 tie after an Ehresman kill. Shannon Roark got a kill off a block to put the Titans ahead 23-22.
EPG couldn't hold on. Tessa Walcott smacked two kills for a sideout that tied it, and the lead-changer to put Lexington up 24-23. Gabby Freed had a kill after an EPG timeout for the win.
"It was huge, especially when we led most if the time," Strating said. "(Winning) gave my team confidence and it took the wind out of El Paso's sails."
Other Matches
It took three sets for the Titans to move into Saturday's fifth-place contest. EPG won 25-17, 13-25, 15-6 behind the strength of Ehresman's 8 kills and Codee Schipf's 7 kills, 22 assists, 8 points and 2 blocks.
Flanagan-Cornell rallied to get past Fisher 17-25, 25-12, 15-12. Ashley Van Weelden had 12 kills and Emilyn Carter added 9 successful attacks for the Falcons. Emily Farris had 19 assists.
In other consolation play, Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley got past Ridgeview 25-23, 25-21, Heyworth tipped Blue Ridge 25-15, 25-18, and Tremont eliminated GCMS 25-12, 25-10.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A roommate of the Florida college dropout behind an aborted plan to attack students at the University of Central Florida says he rarely interacted with the plotter but was surprised by what happened.
Chris Folk said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday that he only had one meaningful conversation with James Oliver Seevakumaran and that otherwise he "always looked off in space" when he talked.
The 30-year-old Seevakumaran shot and killed himself early Monday as police officers arrived in response to the fire alarm and a 911 call from another roommate.
Seevakumaran was found with guns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and homemade bombs.

Difference between revisions of "Mount Rinjani"
Revision as of 09:34, 21 November 2012
Mt Rinjani is one of the largest mountains in Indonesia. On a clear day you can see breathtaking views from the summit. There is a crater lake, Segara Anak and a natural hot spring there. The trek usually takes about three days.
Mount Rinjani (Gunung Rinjani) is an active volcano in Lombok, Indonesia.
At 3,726 m, Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia, second only to Mount Kerinci on Sumatra, and it dominates the landscape of the relatively small island of Lombok.
Within its huge 50 km² caldera sits the crater lake Segara Anak (Child of the Sea). Eruptions within the caldera have formed a new small cone called appropriately enough, Gunung Baru (New Mountain).
The mountain and its satellites form the Mount Rinjani National Park (Taman Nasional Gunung Rinjani)[10] - officially 41,000 hectares within the park boundaries and a further 66,000 hectares of protected forest outside.
In 2008, the Indonesian government proposed to UNESCO that Mount Rinjani be one of the world's official geoparks. If this was approved by UNESCO, Mount Rinjani would become the first such geological park in Indonesia.
This is a very active volcano.
The oldest recorded historical eruption was in 1847. Previous to that this was a very remote region indeed, hence the lack of records.
There was a spate of activity from 1994 to 1995 which resulted in the further growth of the crater cone Gunung Baru, since renamed Gunung Barujari (Finger Mountain).
On 27 April 2009 Gunung Barujari became active again with that activity continuing through to May 2009. The summit ascent routes were closed at that time as the eruptions intensified with plumes of smoke and ash as high as 8,000 m. A Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI):2 rating was issued for the activity between May and December 2009. The ascent routes re-opened on September 14th 2009 but hiking routes down into the crater lake were still deemed unsafe and remained closed.
In February 2010 observers at the Gunung Rinjani Observation Post detected a smoke plume that rose 100 m from the volcano. The activity in early 2010 is centred about Gunung Barujari. On May 1st 2010 a column of smoke was again observed rising from Rinjani issuing eruptions 1,300-1,600 metres tall with thick brown color and strong pressure. On May 5th 2010 a possible ash plume rose to an altitude of 5.5 km (18,000 ft) and drifted 150 km NW. Accordingly the Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation advised that intermittent activity could produce ash plumes to 1,500 m (5,000 ft) above the caldera. In light of this The Volcanic Explosivity Index Alert Level was raised to 2 with a recommendation that there be no activity within a radius of 4 km from the eruption at Gunung Barujari.
Recent activity
Rinjani erupted three further times on 23 May 2010 with activity continuing until 24 May 2010. According to the volcano's official monitoring agency, ash from Mount Barujari was reported as rising up to 2 km into the atmosphere and damaged crops. Lava flowed into the caldera lake, pushing its temperature up from 21°C to 35°C, while smoke spread 12 km. The volcano did not directly threaten villagers during any of the eruptive activity in early 2010 however access to some sections of the Mountain was officially closed or restricted at some times.
The lower and mid levels of the mountain are quite heavily forested. Above the tree line though the slopes are barren and rugged scree slopes and volcanic rock. The views of the crater lake are quite breath-taking from the caldera rim, as is the sunrise. From the absolute peak you can see Bali to the west and Sumbawa to the east.
Flora and fauna
The lower and middle elevation slopes are densely forested with typical tropical species. Fig trees are especially apparent. Casuarina forest (cemara) takes over higher up and eventually these give way to an alpine flora above the treeline.
Lombok is east of the Wallacean Line and some Australian bird species are therefore apparent. These include a lot of sulphur crested cockatoos and green hanging parrots. Bird life is generally not easy to observe here though due to the density of the forest.
The familiar long-tailed grey macaque (the Bali temple monkey) is common right up to the crater rim. Of much more interest is the rare ebony leaf monkey which inhabit these forests. Rusa deer and muntjacs are more often heard than seen.
Rinjani is best climbed during the April-November dry season. It is possible to climb during the rainy season as well but treks are often cancelled at short notice if the rain is heavy.
It gets very cold on the mountain above 2,000 m and nears freezing at the summit. Warm clothing is an absolute must.
Get in
Most visitors arrive via the village of Senaru (600 m), on the northern side of the mountain and thus closer to the main resort areas of the west coast including Senggigi. The other possible entry point is Sembalun Lawang (1,150 m), on the eastern side, which is closer to the summit.
Both villages are accessed from the main north coast road.
Entry to the park costs Rp 150,000 per person for foreigners and Rp 10,000 for locals. This fee is split up as follows: 13% to the national park authority, 62% to the Rinjani ecotourism trekking program and 25% for trek route maintenance etc.
Get around
Within the park the only way to get around is to hike. Porters can be arranged to carry your supplies.
Climbing Mount Rinjani
The basics
At 3,726 m, Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia after Sumatra's Gunung Kerinci. It is very climbable by visitors with a high level of physical fitness. Critical is to understand and respect this great mountain: sadly, visitors have died here through failing to follow sensible procedures and make all necessary preparations.
Few actually make the very strenuous effort required to reach the actual summit but instead stop at the crater rim (approx 2,700 m) where the views of the crater lake are mind blowing. To make the extra 1,000 m ascent to the very top requires a considerably higher level of fitness, not to mention strength of spirit and sense of adventure.
Typically, a trek to the crater rim involves two days and one night on the mountain. The longer ascent to the summit can be done with just one night's camping but is often part of a longer trek of 3-4 days and two or three nights.
The current park entrance fee is Rp 150,000. Of this 13% is allocated to the Gunung Rinjani National Park, 62% to the Rinjani Trek Ecotourism Program and 25% to support the Rinjani Trek operation and maintenance program.
An organized trek is by far the easiest, safest and most popular option but it is also quite possible to make all of your own arrangements and just hire a guide and equipment from one of the trekking centres on the mountain. Rinjani Park regulations stipulate the use of a certified guide so even the most experienced and well prepared mountaineers will still need to climb Rinjani with the services of a professional guide. The mountains Licensed Guide Association (HPI) issues certification to the Rinjani guides and porters but it should be understood that the certification standards and required training are no where near as rigorous as would be expected in many other countries. Serious accidents including fatalities do occur on Rinjani treks when led by these accredited guides.
Proper sturdy climbing/hiking boots are an absolute necessity as is a substantial waterproof, windproof jacket, and a head lamp. If you are going to the top, use of poles (walking sticks) for getting through the scree (loose rock) at the top are also highly recommended. By 2,000 m, you will feel like you are not in the tropics any more as rising wet, hot air loses its temperature and may fall as rain. If inappropriate clothing becomes wet difficulties will set in as air temperatures towards the summit are as low as 4⁰C, often with a significant extra wind chill factor. You must prepare accordingly.
Guides and trekking agencies
At times it seems that everyone in Lombok is a trekking guide for Mount Rinjani, especially on the main tourist strip in Senggigi.
Take most of what you are told with a pinch of salt and you will find the most experienced and reputable guides at the main trekking centres at Senaru and Sembalun Lawang. It does happen that tourists who are highly experienced hikers or climbers may find themselves far better prepared and skilled for mountain conditions than the local guides. Codes of conduct have been developed for the local trekking support community that include climbing safety, environmental awareness and responsible use. Some of the guides and trekking organisations are better than others at respecting these agreements and guidelines. It is also a good idea to independently check for any volcanic alerts that may have been issued for Mount Rinjani.
Many visitors have found it is preferable to avoid package deals purchased away from Senaru, and instead negotiate either with one of the four trekking providers listed below or with the guides themselves to ensure that they are actually competent. If there is a problem, you can then find a different guide company in Senaru or Sembalun.
To help you judge the experience, abilities and equipment provision of a potential guide and support team it may assist to consider the following:
Guide fees are generally negotiable. Only the Rp 150,000 park entrance fee is set by the park authority. A sensible package price range would be:
These trekking fees will vary though according to how busy the guides are, how many people are in your party and if a commission is due to a referring person or agency. Some guide companies will charge as little as Rp 900,000 per person for a 2-night trek in the off-season, but it is important to check they are properly experienced, equipped and provisioned. Ensure your trek price is all-inclusive of any extra charges for transportation, provisions, porter fees and the park entrance fees.
The following all offer organised treks with accommodation, transport to the mountain, return to your accommodation and can also help with hiring a private guide if required:
Ascent routes
Serious trekkers should explore the options of staying on the mountain for 3 nights or more with a planned trek that takes in the crater rim, down to the lake shore, the absolute summit and more. Such treks normally start in either Senaru or Sambulan Lawang however in the last couple of years some other routes have opened including the Benang Stokel, Timbanuh and Torean routes.
The Senaru ascent route
This is by far the most used route as it allows the (relatively) less strenuous trek to the crater rim only. You start at an elevation of 600 m in Senaru village, normally in the late morning or early afternoon and make the 6 hour ascent to the crater rim before dark. The route passes through POSII at 1,500 m, breaches the treeline at 2,000 m (POSIII) and then it is a bit of slog up gravel paths to the camp site just below the crater rim at 2,600 m. Wake before dawn to make the 20 to 30 minute final climb to the crater rim to enjoy sunrise and the iconic view across Segara Anak to Gunung Baru.
If that has not sapped all of your energy you can then make a very precarious descent down to shores of the crater lake and bath in the hot waters. You need some confidence to do this as it is a steep descent of 600+ m using handrails and ropes.
And then it is back to Senaru the way you came.
There is an option to go on to Plawangan II where you overnight again before making the ascent to the absolute summit. This is not especially recommended from the Senaru side though. If you want to get to the top, the climb to Plawangan II is best made from Sambulan Lawang.
The Sembalun Lawang ascent route
Starting in the morning from the Rinjani Trek Centre in the village, the climb to Plawangan II at 2,638 m will take about 8 hr via POSI (1,300 m), POSII (1,500 m) and POSIII (1,800 m). Overnight at the campsite here and go for the summit starting at 3AM the next day. You need to be well rested as this is a stiff task - the final climb is nearly 1,100 m on difficult ground.
The Benang Stokel route
Departs from the village of Aik Berik in Central Lombok and is is about 27km east of Mataram or a little less than an hour's drive. Locally Benang Stokel is well-known for its 2 waterfalls, the Benang Kelambu waterfall and Benang Stokel waterfall. Treks normally depart from this waterfall location. The ascent up to the crater rim takes around 6 hours. From there a descent to the crater lake requires a further 3 hours. This track offers lots of variety and includes the Tiara Dewi Anjani waterfall. This is an route suitable for experienced trekkers.
Other activities
You do not have to climb to the summit of Mount Rinjani to enjoy the splendours of the national park. Indeed unless you really think that you are physically capable it would be foolhardy to even try. You will find plenty of guides in either Senaru or Sembalun Lawang to suggest lower level treks through beautiful valleys.
In and around Sembalun Lawang you will have the opportunity to purchase unique and high quality hand woven cloth.
If you are trekking outside of an organised group, you should carry in all necessary food for your trek. Fresh fruit and high energy foods are especially appropriate. If you are planning to make the ascent to the absolute summit try to carry a special food item with you for celebrating your achievement of reaching the top.
Trekking packages usually include food which is carried and prepared by the porters.
There are simple restaurants at the lodges in Senaru and Sembalun Lawang.
If you are trekking independently, stock up with some liquids at Senaru or Sembalun Lawang. A flask of hot tea or coffee is very appropriate.
There are a lot of fresh springs on both routes and these determine the positioning of the campsites. You therefore do not need to carry large quantities of water with you. The springs can run a little dry sometimes but all guides should know the status of each spring beforehand.
There is no lodging in the park itself, but some simple places to stay can be found at Senaru & Sembalun Lawang.
Tanjung on the nearby northwest coast has several more upmarket offerings, and both it and the Gili Islands are reasonably close to Mount Rinjani. Many visitors choose to stay in the Senggigi region and travel north to Mount Rinjani by road.
Accommodation for the Senaru route
Please see the sleep section at Senaru for details.
Accommodation for the Sembalun Lawang route
Camping is possible at designated rest shelter areas on the ascent routes, and at the crater rim.
Stay safe
This is a very active volcano. Always be aware of the current assessment of eruptive activity. Sources worth keeping an eye on include local media and The Smithsonian Institute's weekly Volcanic Activity Report [11]. Do not always take the word of a trek organiser as gospel on safety issues.
Rinjani is high enough that altitude sickness is a concern. Be aware of the symptoms and treatment.
It is also very cold up on the summit (4 to 5°C), so warm, windproof clothes are a must as are appropriate hiking boots and a head lamp. The sun can be very strong during the day and severe sunburn is a risk.
Make sure that your guide is carrying a radio with him and that it is fully charged and working. A test call to the trek centre is advisable. The trek centre has a satellite telephone and it can be used by visitors - ask to see the chart of charges.
