Hey Honeybees!
As some of you may have noticed, I have a new blog design. It's designed by a company called Little Web Writing Hood. I found the company shop run by a lady called Jana on Etsy Here.
I chose the Custom Design Blogger Package. Little web writing hood is based in Chicago so It cost 75.00 USD but if you convert that to GBP it cost £45.45 which is a bargain for all the work Jana puts in.
The Package includes the following:
1. Custom header
2. Custom background
3. Custom signature
4. Link colour to match your header
5. Matching text colour
6. Custom post, date and sidebar web safe font.
7. Post divider
8. Top horizontal Navigation bar buttons shown below your header (with links to additional pages: Etsy, Contact Me, Meet the Designer, and FAQ's).
9. Custom favicon (replaces Blogger's orange "B" at the top of your browser tab).
10. Custom buttons (grab button, social media links, pin it button, etc.)
11. Free installation
12. Facebook Cover, Twitter Cover and YouTube
13. Pinterest Hover Button
14. Share buttons at eh end of every post
Jana asked me lots of questions to make sure she created what I was after. She asked about colours I would like, if I had a theme, patterns I might want and images I might want included. She designed lots of mock headers for me to choose from and once I had one I liked she based the rest of the design on it.
To say Jana worked hard is an understatement, I couldn't praise her enough. She really listened to what I wanted for my blog and made it a reality. Jana doesn't stop until you are completely satisfied and that is exactly what I am. I would definitely recommend Jana to anyone. So if you're looking for a custom blog design, graphic design or web design then go check her out.

SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Edson Fachin has sent corruption charges against President Michel Temer directly to the lower house of Congress, rejecting a preliminary defense request made by the president's lawyers, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.
Fachin, the magistrate responsible for the massive Operation Car Wash corruption investigation on Brazil's highest court, sent the documentation related to Temer's case to Lower House Speaker Rodrigo Maia on Wednesday, said the person, who asked for anonymity to speak freely about the case.

It Feels Like.....
I'm coming down with a cold. My allergy pill isn't working, so I'm using my amazing powers of deduction, and it must be a cold. Yuck.
Although, come to think of it, I have been cleaning A LOT, playing catch up from 11 days without power. I have been putting away summer clothes and pulling out winter clothes. Cleaning out cabinets. Washing down knick knacks. Washing sheets, curtains, comforters, etc.
Perhaps it's just put my allergies on overdrive. That could be it. I hope so. I'd rather it be allergies, because allergies don't usually go in to pneumonia or bad bronchitis for me. Allergies can lead to sinus infections: sometimes. Lung ailments: rarely. ~Crosses fingers.~
Nothing too noteworthy going on here. Josh has three more football games left. Then I can breathe a sigh of relief. No more injuries, I hope! Ugh!
Wyn, my oldest (not age wise) friend, is coming in to town this weekend. Tomorrow, actually. She'll be going to the game with us Friday night. That should be fun.
Nothing else major to see here at this point. Hope you're having a good week.

East Park Trout Habitat
COST OF PROJECT: $210,000 (combination of DDA and Marina funds)
COMPLETION DATE: May 2009
The finishing touch to the Charlevoix Marina Expansion / East Park Renovation Project was the design and construction of a self-sustaining trout habitat. The habitat meanders along the souternmost wall of the Harbor Master Building and takes advantage of the natural slope of the terrain to replicate small eddies, babbling rapids and mesmerizing waterfalls typically found in a northern Michigan trout stream. The habitat compliments the nearby Charlevoix Fountain of Youth and adds yet another youth-oriented activity in Downtown Charlevoix.
Constructed by Charlevoix's own Site Planning Development, the habitat is engineered to support a long-term population of approximately 50 fish on a year-round basis. The stream runs at a controlled 51 degrees, the ideal temperature for Michigan trout. In an effort to reproduce a native trout stream, landscaping includes juniper trees, pine needles and other Michigan flora. During its official opening dedication on May 15, 2009, 50 rainbow trout were donated by Site Planning Development of Charlevoix.
East Park has hosted a trout population for decades. The first trout pond was located in the center of East Park and following its demolition, a second pond was constructed immediately in front of the former performance pavilion. The current habitat is the direct result of citizen input during the exceedingly thorough public comment period which played a significant role in determining the final design of the Marina Expansion / East Park renovation project.

Council remains committed to listening to its citizens and doing what it takes to protect the quality of life for you and your children.
On Tuesday October 30th, the attention shifts to County Council where we receive the 2013 budget. This year's budget (first draft) is for $415 million dollars, an expenditure increase of $15 million or 3.7% over 2012. The proposed spend increase is to be financed by a tax increase of 2% and a debt of $8.1 million. Last year the County portion, including waste, of your Midland tax bill was 19%.
On Thursday November 1st, Midland Council gets back to its own budget deliberations with two meetings. At 6:00 pm we will meet in closed session to receive the final report by KPMG on staffing issues. Then at 7:00 pm at the Town Hall we will again be meeting in public with KPMG to review impacts of their report on our 2013 budget.

The 31-year-old former Wigan Athletic keeper, who picked up one England cap in 2006, was knocked to the floor with a violent two-handed shove to the face after a fan ran on the pitch following the Leeds equaliser in the 77th minute.The Leeds United fan could clearly be seen smiling as he ran back into the ground while the dazed Kirkland lay prostrate. After medical treatment, Kirkland was able to continue for the remainder of the Yorkshire derby clash.
The Leeds fans amongst the crowd of 28,582 also courted controversy by singing songs that referenced criminal charges against Wednesday manager Dave Jones which were eventually dropped, as well as seeming to salute Jimmy Savile, the former broadcaster who is now the subject of a criminal investigation for child abuse.
An unhappy Jones called on Leeds United fans to be banned from future away matches after branding them "vile animals".
Leeds United were quick to release a statement denouncing the incident.
"Leeds United Football Club would like to publicly apologise and condemn the action of the fan who came on the pitch and attacked Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland. The club will fully co-operate with the police and the football authorities in identifying the individual concerned. After the week football has endured there is no place for this type of behaviour and the majority of Leeds supporters will be ashamed of his actions."
The sentiments were shared by Leeds manager Neil Warnock. "I'm absolutely embarrassed - absolute disgrace," said Warnock, who also seemed to suggest Kirkland had exaggerated his fall.
"Listen, he (Kirkland) went down like a ton of bricks, but that doesn't make a difference," said Warnock. "There's no way he should be on the pitch doing that, I hope we can make an absolute issue of it.
"It spoilt everything for everybody. When I see a moron like that I'm not proud to be Leeds manager. I don't mind the rivalry - elbows flying, penalties missed by the referee - but to see things like that...I'm absolutely embarrassed.
"They had enough security men, but if you've got a person like him with what must be a five-year-old's mentality then you can't stop it. Get the guy, prosecute him and put him in bloody prison. Our crowd was fantastic tonight - we had one moron. I'm very sorry about that."
Kirkland, 31, had just conceded a 77th-minute equaliser to Michael Tonge when the incident happened, with a man running onto the field from the Leppings Lane End which was housing the Leeds fans, and appearing to punch Kirkland in the face.
The man then returned to the stand while trouble continued around him, with a number of other visiting supporters running on and off the field and stewards struggled to contain them.
Tonge, who spent a large chunk of his career under former Sheffield United boss Warnock, fired home a swerving 25-yard shot in the 76th minute to cancel out Jay Bothroyd's first-half header and deny Wednesday a first win in eight league matches.
But despite rescuing a point with a much-improved second-half display, Leeds are now sure to find themselves in serious trouble from the game's authorities.
Riot police had earlier filtered out to try and diffuse ugly scenes in the away end prior to Tonge's strike, with bottles thrown between baying sets of home and away supporters.
Leeds boss Warnock, returning to his home city for the first time since former club Crystal Palace triumphed over the Owls at Hillsborough in an FA Cup tie in 2010, will have been grateful for Tonge's rescue act after his side stretched their unbeaten run to five matches despite being outplayed for long periods.
Leeds were given a real let-off in the 23rd minute by referee Eddie Ilderton, who somehow failed to see Leeds forward Luciano Becchio handle the ball when diving in his own penalty area to head clear Bothroyd's 23rd-minute corner.
But Wednesday, belying their lowly status, secured the lead they deserved two minutes before the break. Long-throw specialist Michail Antonio launched a missile into the Leeds box from the left and Bothroyd rose highest to head home unopposed, low into Kenny's right-hand corner.
Leeds were more purposeful after the restart and went close to an equaliser through another free-kick from Tongue after Gardner had been booked for his high tackle on Diouf.
Tonge's brilliant equaliser in the 76th minute following Aidy White's lay-off then prompted the disgraceful scenes as some Leeds fans to pour through fencing.
Kirkland required treatment before the game could resume and although Owls substitute Danny Mayor went close with a shot blocked by Jason Pearce in the closing stages, the home side had to settle for a point.

Aston Villa 0–2 Wigan Athletic
Anyone doubting the capabilities of Wigan's new manager Robert Martinez will have been left impressed on Saturday as his team marched to a comfortable victory. A wonder-goal from new signing Hugo Rodallega set Wigan on their way as Villa failed to come to terms with the opposition. Indeed Martin O'Neill's side looked a shadow of their former selves. Of course one must remember Villa have lost key figures this summer, Gareth Barry leaving for Manchester City and captain Martin Laursen retiring from football. Villa looked extremely vulnerable in defence, only for Brad Friedel keeping the Lactics out, it could have been a much a larger deficit. As it was, Jason Koumas added a second before the end to give Martinez a perfect start to his debut in the Premiership.
Blackburn Rovers 0–2 Manchester City
The game at Ewood Park began and ended with a flurry. A sweeping Manchester City move was started and finished by Emmanuel Adebayor. After that City failed to take the game by the scruff of the neck as Blackburn Rover slowly found a foot hold in the game. Blackburn midfielder David Dunn had issued a rousing battle call during the week insisting that Rover's would kick their cash rich opposition all over the pitch. This simply never happened but Rovers did threaten continuously from set pieces as the new central pairing of Dunne and Toure was put under the microscope. City were content to hit Sam Allardyce's side on the break with Robinho and Bellamy looking in fine form with the ball at their feet and running at defenders. The introduction of Carlos Tevez added an extra dash of spice to the City attacking line-up and Stephen Ireland, City's best player last season, made it 2-0 on 90 minutes.
Bolton Wanderers 0–1 Sunderland
Steve Bruce will have been encouraged by the performance of new signing Darren Bent who scored the only goal of the game as the Black Cats left the Reebok Stadium with all three points. Another positive for Bruce will be the gelling of the Bent-Jones partnership up front as the pair ran Bolton's defence ragged. Gary Megson has been relatively quiet in the transfer market and the signs point to another average season for his team with a comfortable lower mid-table spot. Megson will be disappointed with Bolton's tendency to wastefully lose possession giving the initiative to Bruce's men. Albeit in the second half after some brash words at half time delivered by Megson, Bolton started to match Sunderland's efforts but it came too late and Bruce's side held on to an opening day victory.
Chelsea 2–1 Hull City
Didier Drogba rescued all three points for Chelsea as he sealed his brace with a bizarre winner in the second minute of added time much to the dismay of Phil Brown. Carlo Ancelotti has borrowed the diamond system he used to great effect with AC Milan but in the first half it proved largely ineffective. Hull City were content to cram their own half with 10 men only leaving Caleb Folan to make the odd foray into Chelsea's half. The one attack of any notice Hull had in the first half resulted in a goal as Chelsea villain Stephen Hunt capitalised on a kind ricochet to bag a goal on his City debut.  Chelsea hit back before half time with a stunning free kick by Drogba which rocketed into the top of the net. The introduction of Deco and Ballack saw a more threatening Chelsea outfit in the second half and they produced a couple of good chances to take the lead. Hull surrendered the opportunity to snatch an unlikely victory before Drogba's misdirected cross found the back of the net to land Ancelotti with maximum points on his baptism to the Premier League.
Everton 1–6 Arsenal
This match was effectively over before half time, but the final hammer blow came just minutes into the second half as Cesc Fabregas effectively ended the any chance of an Everton revival to extend Arsenal's lead to four goals. All the off-pitch drama clearly affected Everton's composure in defence. They looked vulnerable from the start. A Denilson wonder strike set Arsenal on their way as the Everton collapse began. The next to Arsenal goals came from free headers in the box for first Vermaelen and then Gallas making it 0-3 at half time. After some tidy passing by Arsenal, Fabregas finished the move with a shot that went through the legs of the on-rushing Tim Howard. Less than 15 minutes later Fabregas was allowed the freedom of Goodison as he ran from inside his own half to fire a second goal in from outside the box. Eduardo made it six before the end with a simple tap in after a shot from Russian Arshavin rebounded off the post into the Croatian's path. Louis Saha poached the most meaningless of consolation goals to wrap up proceedings in Merseyside with Goodison Park already like a ghost town. Arsene Wenger's men produced a classy display but they were unquestionably helped by Everton's woeful efforts. The Lescott soap opera needs to be settled.
Manchester United 1–0 Birmingham City
It was by no means vintage Manchester United. The first half was a tale of United dominance with no cutting edge with the exception of Wayne Rooney's goal on 39 minutes. Birmingham were content to put all their men behind the ball with Cameron Jerome providing the only outlet for City. They struggled to cope with United's movement in the early stages of the match but as the half progressed they grew in confidence. Hart looked in good form between the sticks. The only other chance of note was presented to Darren Fletcher who blazed his shot wide of the post. During the second half Ferguson's men became slightly complacent as the Scottish duo of Ferguson and McFadden started to dictate proceedings. Indeed McFadden gracefully floated in United's half threatening to cut open the United defence. New Birmingham signing Christian Benitez was presented with the best chance for the visitors but he failed to beat Ben Foster in goal who palmed the ball wide of the post after Benitez has been clean through. United are perennial slow starters so this will be a welcome start for the Old Trafford side. Birmingham proved that they won't be the whipping boys of the league if they can reproduce performances like this.
Portsmouth 0–1 Fulham
Affairs at Fratton Park are in complete disarray with owner elect Sulaimann Al Fahed still to finalise his takeover of the south coast club. A staggering £60 million has been raised from the sale of players, yet none has been reinvested into the club. The squad is becoming a little stagnant, so investment is needed. Paul Hart has arguably the most unglamorous job in the league right now with the future of the club uncertain. Fulham on the other hand are a club with a settled future under Roy Hodgson. Their defensive record last season was simply awesome and they continued on the right note at Fratton Park securing another clean sheet. A Bobby Zamora goal was the difference between the two teams. An away win so early in the season will please Hodgson whose side took over eight months last season to record a victory away from home. The closest Pompey went to an equaliser was a shot from Papa Bouba Diop but Fulham were good value for their win.
Stoke City 2–0 Burnley
Burnley didn't enjoy their Premier League debut after being taught a lesson or two by Tony Pulis' men after Stoke enjoyed a comfortable victory at home. The combative Stoke picked up from where they left off last season as they played some unattractive but effective football. A free kick from Liam Lawrence was headed home by centre back Ryan Shawcross to give the home side the advantage after 19 minutes. The infamous Rory Delap long throw worked it's magic once again on 33 minutes as Stoke doubled their advantage thanks to Burnley's captain Stephen Jordan. Stoke revelled in their title as favourites to win a game for the first time since their arrival in the top flight, and they bossed the new boys around the pitch and looked comfortable throughout the entire 90 minutes. Burnley fans have reason to be worried already.
Tottenham Hotspur 2–1 Liverpool
The late kick off Sunday meant Liverpool needed three points to keep pace with title rivals Chelsea and United. In truth it was a dour Liverpool side who desperately missed Xabi Alonso as Gerrard and Torres found themselves isolated from the midfield. Spurs have improved steadily under Harry Redknapp and have a strong squad. They out fought Liverpool yesterday with a shaken Jamie Carragher and a battered and bruised Martin Srktel conceding fouls at regular intervals. A Tom Huddlestone free kick ploughed into the Liverpool wall only to fall at the feet of Assou Ekotto who unleashed a fierce shot which soared into roof of Reina's next. Liverpool lacked spark and any invention in midfield. However a Glen Johnson marauding run earned the away side after he was brought down by Spurs keeper Gomes in the box. Captain Steven Gerrard expertly scored from the spot to give Liverpool an undeserved equaliser. Less than five minutes later Bassong headed home the eventual winner after Carragher failed to match the Cameroonian's leap. The arrival of Yossi Benayoun who should have started the game added some urgency and genius to Liverpool's play but Spurs escaped with three points despite an obvious shove on Voornin in the box by Ekotto and then Ekotto was at the centre of controversy after he handled the ball in the penalty area. However a Liverpool equaliser would have been an undeserved result and Benitez's men rightly succumbed to an opening day defeat.
Wolverhampton Wanderers 0–2 West Ham United
Mick McCarthy made his welcome return to the Premiership but despite spending heavily in the summer it didn't help Wolves avoid defeat at Moulineux. England under 21 captain Mark Noble opened the scoring on 22 minutes as he blasted a shot from outside the box past Wolves keeper Wayne Hennessy. McCarthy was missing his new £6 million signing Kevin Doyle and the normally lethal Ebanks Blake failed to finish the chances fashioned for him by the industrious Wolves midfield. Indeed Serbian playmaker Nenad Milijas enjoyed a promising debut looking dangerous throughout the match. Matthew Upson sealed victory for Gianfranco Zola as he nodded home from a corner to leave Wolves facing defeat on 69 minutes. In truth it was a fair result and McCartthy will be looking for a notable improvement in their next game away to Wigan Athletic.

The way in which the quality of a service can western restaurant be perceived north indian restaurants in singapore can restaurants be derived from the theory of consumer and purchasing behavior.Although services are not extensively examined by the theories and models of these two types of behavior, the latter can be helpful. The product of a food industry is essentially the experience of the meal, along with its material and moral elements. Therefore, the quality of the meal experience can be considered equivalent to the overall experience of the restaurant. Various writers have occasionally recognized three general categories of factors that make up the experience of a meal. Khan, M.A. lists six categories of attributes relating to particular preferences, customer characteristics as well as religious and social factors. The first category is the inherent factors, which relate to the preparation methods, organoleptic north indian restaurants in singapore characteristics, appearance, texture, temperature, color, odor, taste and quality.
The second category concerns extrinsic factors, which may be restaurants near me environmental, site, or advertising. The third category is the biological, physiological or psychological factors, which are gender, age, condition and psychological influences. The fourth category concerns the factors that have to do with the economic situation, food costs, security, past habits, adaptation and prestige. The fifth category is cultural factors, which relate to customs, religious constraints and cultural influences. Finally, the sixth category is the personal factors, which relate to the individual's levels of expectation, the intimacy, the influence of the other person's personality, the mood, the appetite, the family feelings and the education. According to, customers rate a service from its overall performance. Customers evaluate all types of contacts with the business, thus compiling the image of the business Thomas, Perceived quality is not only influenced by service performance but also by the service process itself. The client through his senses can perceive how qualitative a service can be, and can determine his degree of satisfaction. The perceived quality can be presented as follows: Initial customer expectations+ process+ real service restaurants near me result performance perceived quality Consequently, the perceived quality results from the comparison of the customer's initial expectations for the service with the Process of delivering the service and its outcome. Customer perception is a dependent variable, which works by interacting. Three independent variables: Ethical expectations must, Estimated expectations concerning will, Accurate quality of service provided. Generally, the lower the ethical expectations of customers, the better see more the quality of service provided.
And the higher the anticipated customer expectations for a restaurant, the higher the quality of the service to be assumed Stevens. Concluded that the quality of services can be measured through an instrument that can evaluate statements about customer perceptions. Based on their research they assumed that perceptions stemmed from the combination of desirable what would be wanted and regulatory expectations what should be provided in relation to what they ultimately receive from the service provided.The fewer the regulatory expectations and the more customer desires for services, the greater will be the positive impression they will have on them. In addition, they found that the greater the customers' positive impression of the services they provide, the greater the intention to visit the restaurant and to promote it to third parties Stevens.

BERLIN (Reuters) - The U.S. government should have exempted European allies from punitive tariffs imposed against steel and aluminum imports that were primarily aimed at China, Germany's transatlantic coordinator Juergen Hardt told Reuters on Friday.
Hardt called the U.S. decision a "blow to transatlantic economic ties" and criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for seeking answers to U.S. economic problems overseas.
"It would have been right to exempt European allies from the punitive tariffs," Hardt said in an interview. "The U.S. and Europe could have acted together to end unfair trade practices, for instance by China."

Mountain hiking is a little different from mountain climbing. In mountain Hiking with stick
a) you use hands less or does not use hands at all to go up.
b) it is usually a day round trip.
Benefit of mountain hiking:
1) Fresh air.
2) Exercise.
3) Get to know your friends more.
4) Get to know new friends.
5) Build up team spirit.
6) Total breakaway from being busy on this and that.
7) Get to see some special fauna and flora.
8) Shower in natural water. Back massage under waterfall.
Do not go yet if
a) you are alone.
b) you miss your meal or you forget to bring along some food.
c) your leg muscle is still painful after the last physical exercise.
The team should not be big (not more than 20 people) so that:
a) when there is someone missing from the team it can noticed quickly.
b) you can mingle with each of your team member other more.
Make sure you have been exercising regularly if the trip has a fixed destination and the team will be reluctant to turn back even when you cannot make it. Exercises suitable for mountain hiking should have less impact on knees such as cycling, swimming and going UP the stairs. The exercise should be done daily for at least one month to increase the lactic acid tolerance of your leg muscles. Sore legs are caused by low tolerance towards sudden increase of lactic acid.
If the team or a part of the team can turn back anytime, you can go even you have not been exercising regularly and you can regard this trip as a good start to exercise.
Make sure you will not panic easily and will not think that you are lost.
Do not wear
a) jeans because they will be really heavy when they are wet. Plus you legs are not that agile in jeans.
b) sandals because when they get wet you cannot walk steadily and it is not that safe. Light-weight sandals can be brought along as backup though.
Start the journey early, preferably latest by daybreak.
Things to have for one day round trip
Shoes with the following criteria:
1) Light weight.
2) Good grip, for example basketball shoes are bad. Do not overdo it though by wearing spike shoes. Spike shoes are bad on rocky surface.
3) Can be tied tight on your foot. Slackened shoes are bad idea for mountain hiking.
4) Waterproof.
5) Preferably brown in color (like color of mud).
6) In good condition.
7) It is even better if the shoes are of high cut (above ankle):
a) Will not get wet when you walk over small stream or water puddle.
b) Protection for your ankle against rocks and sticks.
c) The dirt and sand will not get into your shoes easily.
d) The size can be bigger by 2 than your usual size (my size is 42, so 42+2=44) so that when you come down from the mountain the shoes will not make your toes painful. Also after a few hours of hiking the foot may swell and needs space to expand. This is applicable for shoes with high cut only. You cannot walk steadily in bigger shoes with low cut.
A walking stick
a) reduces the vertical impact on the legs so the knees will not hurt.
b) reduces the energy needed by leg muscles to maintain balance.
c) assists in balancing your body when walking on the stepping stones across a stream.
d) lets your arm exercise too.
The walking stick should have the following criteria:
a) Light weight.
b) As tall as your shoulder.
c) Optional: can be used for self-defense.
If you choose to buy trekking pole (telescopic and shock-absorbing compared to walking stick), it should have the following extra criteria:
a) Not vulnerable to accidental bending.
b) Rounded top for supporting palm.
c) Minimum telescoped length is short enough that it can be hung to backpack.
d) Can be used as a camera support.
I am an adult and I take at least 2 liters of water for one day round trip. My combination: 1.5 liter of isotonic drink and 0.5 liter of plain water. Be careful on how the bottle is put in your knapsack. You do not want it to drip along the way and the next thing you discover is there is no water in the bottle. Even a new bottle of isotonic drink that you have not opened yet may drip because the moving friction on the cap somehow loosens the cap a little.
Some food that can make you full. It is also good to bring fruit such as apple.
Shirt in eye-catching color.
Swimming trunks (wear the trunks) in case you want to take a shower in the water. Do not bring soap and shampoo. If you wear shorts, you do not even need swimming trunks. Just get into the water with your shirt and shorts (the sweat on your clothing is washed away). Bring along swimming goggles if you want.
Raincoat. Umbrella is not recommended because you will need both of your hands during the hiking. Also, the umbrella may be obstructed by branches.
Mobile phone fully charged.
Sticking plaster (band-aid), iodine, something to wrap up wound. Tissue paper, plastic bag, rubber bands, safety pins.
Rescue whistle (lanyard is not needed) and a small mirror.
I personally do not like leech repellant because it contains chemicals. If you want to wear long trousers, make sure the bottom end of the trouser leg is securable (with tie string or elastic band that wraps around your leg).
Name cards, blank papers and pen in case you want to keep in touch with friends you make on the mountain.
Contact lenses. Glasses can get foggy in the jungle because of the heat from your body. They my also be picked away by branches. If there is clean water at the start point, wear the contact lenses there.
Heavy duty backpack or rucksack preferably designed for mountaineering. Do not bring:
a) normal backpack. It will tear.
b) backpack that has unsecured opening and you have to worry about something dropping off the bag while you walk.
c) single-strap backpack. Stress on one side of the shoulder will make you uncomfortable and you will switch side frequently.
A used toothbrush, if you want to brush off the mud on your shoes before going home.
Towel and clothes for change if you do not want to dirty your car seat.
In the jungle
Try evade branches because there may be:
a) some ants or some other wildlife on the branch that will give you nasty bites.
b) something sharp scratching you.
Do not yell. Remember that is not your territory. And yelling may make other jungle trekkers think that you need help.
Leeches can only be found in rainforest. However you can rarely see leeches. Leeches only come out when the ground is wet and there have been many people walking by. Leeches response to vibration. If a leech sucks on you, do not pull it, burn it or salt it or else it regurgitates into your wound and may cause infection. Just use your thumbnail to very slowly push its sucker mouth away. The wound will bleed without pain because the leech releases anticoagulant and anesthesia.
Although it is difficult for minor wound e.g. scratches or leech bite to get infected, it is always a good practice to disinfect the wound.
When you stand at a place long enough, some honey bees may come to lick your sweat for salt, do not panic. You can let them continue licking or just blow them away and wipe your sweat dry. When you start walking again, they will not follow you.
Before putting your stuff down, watch if there are ants. You do not want the ants to crawl all over and into your stuff. Also make sure your bag is zipped up because some faunas may like to have some adventure together with you by getting into your bag.
People start to get lost when they think they are lost. So do not ever think that you are lost.
Because this article is about tips I am not going to talk about environmental ethic (for example take all litter home, do not simply light a fire and so on). It should be common sense and you should know. I deeply respect people who exercise it.
Coming down (descending a hill)
To avoid hurting your knees:
a) Do not walk with heavy steps.
b) When the stair is high, squat down and land one foot on the next stair first. Do not jump or stride down.
c) Learn to walk by softly landing the heels first than the toes.

About me
Hello. I'm Richard. I am a Javascript programmer and designer in New York City. Soon, world domination will be mine.
For my other pursuits, look me up on the google. Put 'Richard Harrington comedy theater'. (I made that web page on an overnight train ride from Toronto to Winnipeg in the summer of 2000. I like to think it's awesome, but I'm probably going to update it soon so people don't think I haven't heard of CSS.)

Pitch your film.
Imagine yourself sitting in front of a panel of 5 leading film industry professionals at the same time. You have 10 minutes to tell your story and talking about your idea, -your film. You sit back and tell your tale, looking straight in the eyes of the producers. The first 5 minutes have past, you talked about your movie, and now answering questions from the producers, while in the meanwhile observing their body language, still looking at each one of them.
The difference? You are still in your own home, -your own chair, your own comfortable environment. The producers? Anywhere in the world, they didn't travel either. Sitting comfortably in their own chair from their offices in Spain, France or anywhere they might be while you are pitching them.
Atik Media's FilmPitch Webinar connects you and the producers using Webinar Technology. A proven virtual communication platform with high quality video and audio integrated. You only need a computer and internet access with a quality (web)camera attached. We take care of the technology and that everything runs smoothly, so you can focus on your pitch and the producers, talking to each other as if you where all in the same room.
Sit back in your own environment, your home or office. But most important, meet the people you weren't able to meet before.
This is what we provide, The Virtual Bridge, with all the tools you need to meet live and pitch your film to the right people.
The FilmPitch Webinar
Atik Media's FilmPitchWebinar will take place on Cisco WebEx industry leading technology platform and will be organised and hosted by a webinar expert with experience of producing hundreds of webinars annually.
The FilmPitch Webinars will have full integrated live communication features like integrated high-quality video, audio and the possibility to share or distribute any file, presentation or video to an audience anywhere in the world. All sessions will be recorded allowing people to re-watch the pitch on-demand anytime, anywhere via a secure web link.
During each 60 minutes FilmPitch Webinar a maximum of 5 qualified filmmakers will have the opportunity to pitch their project to a panel of leading film industry professionals.
Each filmmaker will have a 10 minutes time-slot; 5 minutes to pitch and 5 minutes for a live Q&A with the producer's panel.
The service includes a private rehearsal session with each filmmaker where we will share best practices and tips about presenting online, and pitching your film.

Why Does India Need Accessible Toilets For The Differently-Abled? Because It's 2015
I've been reviewing public toilets in Kolkata for my non-profit Loo Watch for a couple of months. In the 25 toilets I've visited so far, there are no provisions to make them accessible to the differently abled or the elderly. I saw a public toilet in the shape of the Sydney Opera House and another shaped like a metro rail coach, but I did not find any grab rails or ramps. How much would it have cost to put such basic elements in these government-run public toilets?

Whytes 'The Eclectic Collector' auction
June 13, 2015.
1929 Irish Ploughman One Pound Note sells for record price in Whytes' The Eclectic Collector auction on Saturday 13 June, in Dublin.
Lot 318. Northern Bank Knox signature £1 Note, fetched 4,600 plus fees
There was a good vibe in Whytes auction on Saturday afternoon with unlimited quantities of free tea, coffee and biscuits to keep bidders and watchers going until their area of interest was reached. Dealers and collectors from Ireland, Northern Ireland and England were present, with around 20-30 present in the room at any given time. There was also strong competition from phone bidders and internet bidders, as well as absentee bids.
The rarest signature variety, Northern Bank £1, 10.6.29, with Knox signature, Lot 318, sold for record price after being fought over by several room bidders, and a phone bidder, once the internet bids had been left behind. Hammer price was €4,600 Euro (5,631 Euro including fees). The note was Fine+, a nice example of a rare note, estimated at €2000-€3000.
There were several other Anchor Lots in the sale, scarce and rare notes likely to draw attention. The punters definitely did turn out for these, as nearly all of the important items went for good prices.
Another Northern £1 note, 7.1.31, Stewart signature, VF, Lot 317 went to an Absentee bid at €3,800 (4,734) Euro. Estimate on this was also €2000-€3000.
Both of these prices are somewhat above expectations, and demonstrate that notes of the Northern Bank, particularly those with eye appeal in decent grade remain well sought-after.
Lot 301. Munster & Leinster Bank Ten Pounds, 1938
The only Ploughman £10 note in the sale, which was better grade than listed in the catalogue, Lot 301, fetched a decent €2,100 (2,616) Euro, after healthy attention from several room bidders. This was a good price for such a note.
There were 38 Ploughman notes in the Whytes sale, with a few nice grade notes. With a few exceptions, prices for the other Ploughman notes in the sale were middling, reflecting the fact that there are a lot of them about in the market currently. There were definitely some bargains to be had amongst these.
Generally prices for common banks in low grade have been sliding since the marked peaked a few years ago. Generally speaking, better grade notes brought stronger prices. The catalogue estimates were broadly accurate for the notes on offer, with most of the Ploughmans going to room bidders after a brief flurry of bids from several parties.
Lot 282. £5 National Bank, 1919
Other banknote highlights were seen for Lot 282, a National Bank £5 note, 1919, which sold for €2,800 (3,488) Euro in a straight shoot-out between a room bidder and an on-line bidder, after a few other bidders dropped out around the €1,200 mark. The small-sized multi-branch National Bank notes are very rare, with only three examples known to date.
Amongst the Lavery notes were two Anchor Lots, a £100, 9.12.37, Lot 322, a pleasing about VF received a lot of attention in the room after the internet bids were fended off. The hammer price was €3,600 Euro (4,485), which is exactly what I expected the note to go for. This is one of the nicest 1937 £100 notes that I have seen in 30 years of note watching, a very tough banknote to find in good grade.
Two other notable lots amongst the Lavery notes, Lot 328, a £50 Pound note dated 16.5.60 in unused gVF grade brought €1,050 (1,308) Euro; and Lot 343, £1 23.6.65 offset transfer error, brought €440 (548)—a very high price for an Irish error note.
The most notable unsold was Lot 275, an early Belfast Bank 25 shilling note, estimated at €300, but in desperately low grade.
Lot 246. A rare United States Quarter dollar, 1872, fetched €4,000 plus fees
Amongst the non-banknote lots, the star anchor was Lot 251, Roman and other coins in 19th century mahogany coin cabinet, which brought €10,500 (13,083) after a lot of active bidding. This was vastly above the estimate of €2000-€3000. One happy vendor there!
Lot 246, USA. Quarter dollar, very rare 1872S. Good very fine. Estimated at €1,500-€1,800, did very well with a final price of €4,000 (4,984), as did Lot 244, USA. Morgan dollar 1892 and Columbian Exposition half dollar 1892. Uncirculated and extremely fine, which brought €1,600 (1,993) against an estimate of just €150-€200.
A list of prices realised is on the Whytes web site.
There were almost no unsold lots amongst the notes, or in the sale in general, making it definitely a healthy event for Irish coins and notes. There was something for everyone in this sale, with scarce and rare material mixed in with common items; with record prices in amongst the bargains.

Mac Gamer HQ has posted a new review of Harebrained Schemes' Shadowrun Returns. The role playing game returns players to the Shadowrun universe which features a mixture of cyberpunk tech and high fantasy magic.
From the review:
The Shadowrun series allows you to play several combinations of meta-humans and classes. Human, Elf, Dwarf, Ork, and Troll can be paired with Street Samurai, Mage (magic with guns), Decker (hacker), Shaman (magic), Rigger (lockpicker), or Physical Adept (strength). Hacker-Trolls and Rigger-Dwarves are feasible character options, for those of you longing for such a combo. On my first run through, I played as a Samurai-Elf. In typical RPG fashion, you then have five karma points to spend upgrading your character as you see fit. Naturally, you then gain more karma throughout the game when you complete certain missions and objectives. At first, spending these points can be a somewhat daunting task, as the list of skills and attributes is long and overwhelming.

To remove acrylic nails, you need nail clippers, a nail buffer, acetone, two glass bowls, and cream or cuticle oil. Cover the surface you are using with a plastic bag, and lay newspaper over it to absorb spills. Clip the nails, and then soak them in the acetone. Finish by moisturizing your hands and nails.
- Clip the nails
Trim the acrylic nails with the nail clipper. Cut them as close as possible to the length of the natural nails to make the removal process easier.
- Soak the nails in acetone
Choose two glass bowls, one smaller and one larger. Be sure that the smaller bowl is large enough that your fingers can rest inside of it. Fill the smaller glass bowl with acetone and the larger one with warm water, then place the smaller bowl inside the larger one. This warms the acetone and speeds up the removal process. Place one hand inside the glass bowl, and allow the nails to soak for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove your hand from the bowl, and gently scrape the softened acrylic off of the nail surface. Continue this process until the acrylic is completely removed. Repeat this step for the second hand.
- Moisturize the hands and nails
After the acrylic is removed, wash your hands with warm, soapy water. Moisturize your hands using a thick moisturizing cream that contains emollients or a skin or cuticle oil. Continue to moisturize the hands and massage nail beds daily to counteract the drying, damaging effects of the acetone.

In the county of San Bernardino, there are thousands and thousands of sidewalks surrounding buildings, structures, parks, etc.
As a result of all these sidewalks, there are a large number of trips, slips and/or falls which occur. Many of these accidents result in serious injuries involving fractures of the wrist, arm, shoulder, ankle or knee. Many times surgery is required to fix the problem. Unfortunately, a big fall onto concrete can cause significant trauma to the head or brain.
There are numerous hazards that can cause an accident, including, but not limited to:
- an uneven or unleveled surface
- faulty construction or repaving
- a growing tree root
- cracks
- patch work being done
Recently, in the news, a woman filed a claim against a city after she tripped and fell on a raised section of the sidewalk. She sprained her wrist, fractured her elbow, and injured her back and right knee. She is asking for more than $25,000 in an unlimited civil case. The city denied her claim.
Every accident and injury is different and requires a full and complete investigation concerning the cause. If you or a family member has been injured after falling on a sidewalk, you want to make sure you receive full and adequate compensation for any harm and loss sustained.
Call the personal injury law offices of Welebir Law in order to achieve the outcome you and your family deserve. We are located in San Bernardino County.

Some do not need the attention of a doctor but when it exceed some limits as it's going to be stated, you need a full medical advise. Many strep throat symptoms in adults can lead to rheumatic fever if not treated for long.
Strep throat symptoms in adults with tonsils
The cause of strep throat is bacterial and viral infection, but the symptoms of strep throat infection which starts from sore throat can lead to the swelling of the tonsils. So here are strep throat symptoms in adults with tonsils and some tips to recognize its effects easily.
• Our first look up is swollen lymph glands in neck. You are going to feel some tightness and heaviness within the neck region including some pains. This usually starts from a day or 2 after sore throat.
• Painful swallowing follows the swelling. In some cases, strep throat symptoms in adults with tonsils do not pain after 3 days but increasingly difficulty in swallowing saliva or some hard foods is common.
• In a course of time, voice changes due to swelling and complications. Depending on the individual's health, strep throat symptoms in adults may turn the voice to be shallow or broad. It also includes the raise and fall of sound pitches strep throat symptoms especially when you try to shout.
• Normally, strep throat symptoms do not contain fever that last 5 days. But strep throat symptoms in adults with tonsils, fever often persists 7 to 10 days without antibiotics. In severe cases it involves vomiting and complete lose of appetite.
• Mostly in early stages of tonsillitis, the first strep throat symptoms in adults is bad breath. You can feel it yourself, milky, sometimes like spoiled meat or something similar. Even though it won't irritate the patent, it is would be very clear and easy for someone to dictate.
Strep throat symptoms in adults without tonsils
Coming to the mild strep throat, we consider some of the common and uncommon strep throat symptoms in adults considering its movement in stages and silent development.
• The first stage to get yourself ratified if you have strep throat without tonsils is when small skin rash starts to come out. Usually on the neck but sometimes go down back or on chest.
• Joint pains, usually ankles and wrists. In certain strep throat symptoms in adults without tonsils, you might not feel pains but the joints just stay weaker for few days.
• Nausea or vomiting comes up without much fever as strep throat symptoms in adults, and in often times it lasts only 2 to 3 days even without antibiotics days in that immunity works faster on bacteria than virus.
• You feel some twitch right inside the ear or a general but less severe Earache may start. Even though strep throat symptoms in adults do not show this up, it happens usually at night.
• Cough and short breathing are also common strep throat symptoms in adults especially when without tonsils. The common fact about this is it doesn't show any spots.
• After being diagnosed and treated strep throat without tonsils, for weeks after, there may be dark urine and some sudden onset of rashes down the neck. They are all stages of strep throat symptoms in adults, which are medically uncommon.

"I never cry, with joy, for anything".
Williams d. Rezai 6-3 3-6 6-1
She's right. I've no doubt that she feels deeply, but that's just not her style.
For what its worth, I didn't think she needed to demonstrate her "commitment" to her profession to anyone – she could have gone down in straights in the first round and I'd need no assurance on that front.
Even so, the flood of emotions that erupted within seconds of shaking Aravane's hand at the net caught everyone by surprise, and left no doubt about it whatsoever.
The best part? Aravane (who's had her own set of troubles in a different kind of "disaster year") made it a match.
*Slow clap to both women*

Apple will be the first company in Singapore to run exclusively on renewable energy/
Apple announced on Sunday that it has struck a deal to power all of its Singapore operations with renewable energy, reports Reuters. It will be the first company in the city to run exclusively on renewable energy.
Starting in January, solar energy developer Sunseap Group will provide Apple with 100 percent renewable electricity from its portfolio of solar energy systems built atop more than 800 buildings in Singapore. The Apple partnership will also give Sunseap financing to complete the solar project, Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, told Reuters. She says the project was a model in "urban greening" and said it would allow Singaporeans "to get access to energy while we meet our own renewable energy goals."
Last month Apple s announced two new programs aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of its manufacturing partners in China. The programs will avoid over 20 million metric tons of greenhouse gas pollution in the country between now and 2020, equivalent to taking nearly four million passenger vehicles off the road for one year, according to Jackson.
Apple also announced that construction on 40 megawatts of solar projects in the Sichuan Province is now complete. These solar installations produce more than the total amount of electricity used by Apple's offices and retail stores in China, making Apple's operations carbon neutral in China, Jackson says.

Returning Player – Mage Looking For Guild (Deepwood)
Hello everyone!
I recently returned to the game last week and have been looking to be part of a guild and its community since. I have not been very successful in my search. I am a casual player in RIFT, very laid back and friendly. I absolutely love raiding, though I never truly got my hand into it. I would like to. I can be either a casual or hardcore player, and fulfill my role steadily and seriously; but I prefer to be around casual players as they tend to be more relaxed and not so uptight, and won't shout at other people. I don't care for that one bit and I certainly won't tolerate it.
A little bit about my character:
-I have 442 hit
-I have not yet parsed but last time I did I was pulling around 9-10k dps. Decent enough to carry myself in TDQ and FT.
-I am working hard on my Torvan and Lycini rep.
-I have multiple roles, including other dps specs, support, and a healing spec.
-I am primarily a DPSer but I can be a healer as well, if guided into the right direction.
Again, I am a very casual and laid back player. I love running experts and I love raiding, and I want to be part of a friendly environment guild and run through the raids with them. I don't care if we are doing a 10 man or a 20 man – I will be quite happy just seeing content. I am currently on Deepwood and cannot transfer for another week, but I will transfer servers if need be.
I have a rogue, mage, cleric. Rogue was always my main, but I also preferred ranged when DPSing so assuming ranged is still bent over the table, the other classes are on the table. Played dps halfway through chocolate, then tanked until SL, then back to dps until I got bored and quit. Haven't played since the SL T2 10 man, IIRC.
Looking to ease back in casually to start. May end up raiding, but probably not 12+ hours a week like I used to, unless 3.0 turns out to be quite a bit more fun that I expect.
Raid times during the week would need to start no earlier than 3 server and end no later than 8 server. Weekend hours are pretty much open.
Additionally, nothing dictates I have to stay on Deepwood.
New to Rift – Level 19 Mage/Necromancer
Hi everyone!I'm looking for a guild.
I'm new to this and so I am looking for a guild that is willing to spend time with someone fairly new and help them figure things out.
I don't know all the technical jargon, etc. but one of my favorite things to do in Rift are…well…Rifts!
I am actually looking for a guild that spends time getting to know their members. That would be nice. A close-knit group that doesn't mind bringing others in. Anyway, lemme know!
P.S. – I'm not a tank. I usually go the DPS route. Which is weird for mages I guess, but that's how I like to play.

My Tarazu Coffee ExperienceI've been a Starbucks fan before I loved other brands of coffee. I wasn't really a coffee lover though, considering that I have my cardiac arrythmia with several palpitations way back then. I guess becoming healthier has helped a lot and I got into a gym hobby some time years back so now, I rarely get attacks - unless I'm extremely exhausted or if I took in too much caffeine.
I normally have hospital visits and checkups just to make sure I get better. I've had several tests and exercises and lab works, and my hospital visits do include my scoliosis treatments. At times, I get to visit the stores nearby and not so long ago, this coffee shop has opened just a few steps away from the hospital. The store, aptly named for its ambiance and coffee aroma coming from Costa Rican Tarazu beans, delivers a fine-dining coffee experience in a small space, beside a hospital, and inside a mini convenience store and fast food! How convenient!

Their coffee is not that bad. Their Tarazu Coffee signatures like Cafe Americano, Cafe Con Leche, Caffe Mocha and Classic Cappuccino will surely entice you to order food to partner with your coffee experience.
|Tarazu Coffee Board
They have a fine selection of breads, sweets, salads, and pastries which I could attest, are adequately priced. They're pretty affordable to go along with coffee of any kind. My favorite food from there is their Tex Mex Ranch Salad. It goes with an uncommon ceasar dressing (i.e. not common because the dressing doesn't taste like fast food ceasar dressing) that makes me want to go for more. It's a mixed greens with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, lots of grated cheese, and nachos-type of salad in a "Goolai Salad Food Pack" that is big enough for a hungry dieter like me. It really leaves me feeling full every time I finish a pack!
|Tarazu Coffee - Tex Mex Ranch
|Tarazy Coffee Pastries
The area is hip & funky that suits bossa nova look & feel. The background music played are all jazz and bossa nova indeed. It makes you feel more comfortable then, relaxing while not worrying about your hospital dues and health concerns. LOL. It's really cozy and is surely a hangout place for passers-by and residents alike.
I definitely love my experience in this store every time I visit. I'm definitely gonna check it out every time I go there and have my checkups and treatments. It's pretty much on a regular basis so I don't miss out much.

Checked in and within about an hour i had a number of bites on my left side. the next morning i had at least 15 of them across my back and side.
Defiantly bed bugs.
Got Right out of there.
val on 08/04/2007
small infestation but we've seen babies so it's going to get bigger...
i had a guest spend the night and when he woke he had a number of bites on him. my husband and our guest left the lights off for a while then ran in and turned them on quick, pulling the mattress up just in time to see a few bed bugs scurry over the boxspring to hide. not even an hour later i found a smaller one in the bathroom of all places, we captured it and put it in a plastic bag.
the hotel is denying it. they wou
ldn't look at the bug we caught. they were actually quite offended at the accusation and said that because they wash their sheets they couldn't possibly have bugs.
we went through a horrible ordeal just to make sure we didn't bring any with us, it cost us a ton of money and time and more.

Happy Birthday to Christopher Rios, better known as Big Punisher (Big Pun), who would have been 40 today if not for a fatal heart attack caused by his morbid obesity. I apologize for my first two posts dealing with deaths in hip hop, but just like Heavy D's recent death that is now shaking the hip hop community, something beautiful can be found in these losses. Big Pun is in my opinion the best hispanic rapper to ever grace his voice on a beat. Capital Punishment is one of my favorite albums based on it's lyrical value alone, and his second album Yeeeah Baby, released shortly after his death, did not disappoint.
"I shatter dreams/
like Jordan, assault and batter your team/
your squadron will be barred from rap like Adam and Eve at the garden." - "Dream Shatterer"
Pun was known for his lightning quick delivery and breath control (all the more amazing taking into account his obesity) as well as his multisyllablic rhyme schemes and street braggadocio which he delivered pound for pound. (no pun intended) (haha. big pun)
Pun also had a connection with the ladies which I will never understand. A story told by Prodigy of Mobb Deep comes to mind. Long story short Pun walked into a hotel room with a young lady and five minutes later she ran out screaming, "He tried to get on top!!!" Yes 500 pounds of puerto rican is a lot to love but with lyrics like, "I ain't a playa, I just fuck a lot/jump on top of my dick, and work them hips until I bust a shot" (I'm Not A Player) it's easy to see that he did not let his size affect his mack daddy abilities.
Big Pun's debut album Capital Punishment was nominated for best rap album at the 1999 Grammy Awards but in a major upset lost to Jay-Z's Vol. 2...Hard Knock Life. Big Pun fought a very open battle with obesity in the early 90s and on February 7th, 2000 he died of respiratory failure.
"My word is bond, long as I'm alive, ima put it on" -"You Came Up"
With all the arguments I hear about the best rappers to bless the mic I always hear the same names Biggie, 2pac, Eminem, etc.. It's a shame more people don't realize the quality of music that Pun put out in his career and his big personality which matched his big heart. Your legacy will live on through your music and that's the greatest gift you could've given us. R.I.P.
Peace, love and hip hop
"Still Not a Player"
This song brought him into the mainstream light and showed the world he wasn't
just another rapper.
"Twinz (98 Deep Cover)" (feat. Fat Joe)
90's street anthem. With help from Fat joe and their verses playing off each other this song is revolutionary.

Surewest: Affordable Dependable Cell Phone ServiceReviewing: Surewest Wireless | Rating:
I've been a customer of Verizon, Metro PC, Sprint and Virgin Mobil. All of these plans were based on minutes used. And all of them had a problem with dropped or missed calls. I've been a Surewest customer since they came to the Sacramento area and I am very pleased with their fiberoptic packages. So, when they added wireless, I decided to take a good look at what they offered. And was pleased to discover one of the best deals in wireless services I've found.
For $42.00 a month I get unlimited calling, lifetime free text messaging ( one of their frequent specials), and a good package of phone friendly services. I get call waiting, Caller ID, voice mail, speed dialing and call forwarding included. But the biggest bonus for me is that I never get dropped calls. The reception is crisp and clear throughout their main coverage areas which stretch from Modesto through Redding. There is no charge for areas secondary to their main venue, and the service is still stable and reliable. Bundled together with their other superb services (internet and phone), I have a highly affordable telecommunications package that dollar for dollar leaves the other company's in the dust. If you're lucky enough to live in the Sacramento Valley, give them a try.

Northern Rockies Skies for October
A monthly look at the night skies of the northern Rocky Mountains, written by astronomers Ron Canterna, University of Wyoming; Jay Norris, Challis, Idaho Observatory; and Daryl Macomb, Boise State University.
You have been watching the summer triangle over the past few months and although it is prominent in the western skies, it will be gone for another year. This triangle of bright stars (Vega, Deneb and Altair), together with the great square of Pegasus (the winged horse) is our sign that autumn has arrived and winter unfortunately is not too far behind.
Jupiter rises after 9 p.m. and will remain in sight all through the night. It is at its closest approach to the Earth and so it should be very bright and with good binoculars or a small telescope quite a pleasant sight to study. Around 2 a.m. Mars rises and is present in the early morning. Venus is an "evening star" and very close to the sun so it may be difficult to spot.
This month offers another opportunity to view the Orionids meteor shower, which peaks around Oct. 21. You should see about 20 meteors per hour; it is best viewed after midnight toward the east in the direction of Orion.
October, 2011 Interest-- Stars: VII: Giants
(best URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_star)
As we described last month, stars fusing hydrogen into helium are said to be on the stellar "main sequence." Such stars are the most numerous. A giant star is much rarer, and much larger and brighter than a main sequence star of similar temperature. However, because the surface area of giants is larger than that of most main sequence stars -- roughly 100 to 10,000 times larger -- giants produce higher luminosities commensurate with their size and therefore can be seen from much larger distances. Thus amongst the stars we see with the naked eye, giants are overrepresented compared to their actual numbers.
Giant stars, often with surface temperatures that make them appear red or orange, have exhausted the hydrogen supply in their cores and have begun to fuse helium instead. Helium fusion occurs at higher temperatures and inflates these stars to their giant sizes.
A different kind of giant -- very massive, still fusing hydrogen and on the main sequence -- is referred to as a blue supergiant, also large and bright. Blue supergiants evolve in surface temperature and color into red supergiants as they exhaust their hydrogen and move off the main sequence.
Two prominent examples of giant stars can be found in the constellation Orion. The red supergiant Betelgeuse in the upper left of Orion lies at a distance of 640 light-years (1 light-year equals six trillion miles), and has a diameter roughly the size of Jupiter's orbit (almost a billion miles).
Rigel, a blue supergiant, lies in the lower right of Orion. Its distance is 770 light-years and its diameter smaller, about half the size of Venus' orbit (130 million miles). Betelgeuse is rated as the eighth and Rigel as the sixth brightest stars in the whole sky. Betelgeuse's luminosity varies on a timescale of several years due to contraction and expansion of its atmosphere effectively changing the size of the star. Rigel varies less so and therefore Betelgeuse, although infrequently, can be brighter than Rigel.

Uniquely Useful Gifts to Ease the Minds of First Time Parents
"Cupcakes," I said quite exhaustedly, "all I want is sleep, baby cuddles, and cupcakes!" My mom should have known that I wouldn't be able to come up with a better response to her question in my post-delivery, overtired silliness.
It was still six weeks before my youngest son's expected due date—the baby shower had come and gone, the nursery was nearly together, and I thought I still had at least a month to get my hospital bag packed. Boy, was I wrong.
Due to complications, my ever-vigilant doctor recommended he deliver my son at the 34-week mark—and I was suddenly very under-prepared, completely stunned by his premature arrival. What I learned through my experience was the immense value of a thoughtful and practical gifts for still-in-shock new parents, whether their babies arrive early, late, or right on time. Because, as I lay there in my hospital bed, all I could think was, "I am so hungry."
While we loved and appreciated every congratulatory gift that family and friends brought by in celebration of our new baby, there were a few that will forever stand out in my mind. They were the gifts that went beyond kind gestures of excitement meant to decorate our hospital room, and had immediate usefulness.
Thoughtful Necessities to Brighten Spirits
As soon as she heard my son was delivered early, my best friend Kate knew I would be stressed out that I didn't have time to get some much-needed breastfeeding supplies, and she made it her mission to help. When she arrived, I felt a wave of calm opening the box of nursing necessities she had dressed up in coordinating blue ribbons and bows, to brighten up the sterile hues of the hospital room.
She also brought me a shoulder-saving Boppy pillow for support under my babe, and a fresh batch of yummy oatmeal chocolate chip lactation cookies she picked up from a local bakery. Such wonderfully supportive gifts really assisted in my start to breastfeeding, and helped to curb my "hungry new mom" sweet tooth.
A couple of close friends, Monica and Alexa, had helped out with my baby shower registries, so knew I hadn't received all of my baby must-haves. They quickly shared a link on Facebook to a last minute wish list for anyone wanting to bless us with baby supplies we hadn't already received. This was a gift in and of itself—not having to try to communicate to every well-wishing family member and friend wanting to know how they could help us through the whirlwind of an early delivery was an immense blessing.
Monica also brought a cute canvas bin, that could later be used for toys or clothes, filled with binkies and chocolates to encourage quiet moments for both baby and mom. It included a handmade "Do Not Disturb" front door sign to ensure uninterrupted baby napping once we brought our son home from the hospital, giving us a great chance to score some uninterrupted downtime.
How to Bake Up the Onesie Cupcake
Alexa, being a little extra craftier than the rest of us, came to our birth suite bearing a box of preemie onesie "cupcakes" and a teeny crocheted hat she made. Not quite the edible confectionaries I had requested from my mom, but such an adorable decoration to have in the room—and to be able to put to use right away since we had no preemie-sized clothing on hand for our son.
Pulling these sweet little "cupcakes" apart to dress my son for the first time, I could see how I might make them for my own gifting in the future:
- Have onesies, coordinating socks, and cupcake liners ready for assembly.
- Fold the sleeves in on each side, creating a long strip of material.
- Place a pair of socks at one end of the strip, hanging over each edge of the onesie just a bit. One of the socks should have the opening facing out, and the other the toe.
- Starting at the end with the socks, roll the onesie strip up.
- Fold the open end of the sock over the onesie roll to make the cupcake "paper." A sock toe should be sticking out the other end, to resemble frosting.
- Place the onesie cupcake into a cute cupcake liner (silicone liners work best) and place in a bakery box for added flair!
Celebrating Bringing Baby Home
My parents-in-law knew we would be coming home tired, hungry, and ready for some alone time. While we were still at the hospital, they collected menus from several takeout and delivery restaurants in our area and had them fanned out on the kitchen table—along with matching gift cards—ensuring we didn't even have to heat up dinner if we were simply too wrapped up in cuddling our new bundle of joy.
My brother-in-law, Jake, who has two little ones of his own at home, showed up with a Daddy-only toolkit: diaper cream with an "application spatula," safety goggles, and a dozen of my partner's favorite energy drink for overcoming the grogginess sure to follow regular 2am changings. Always a prankster, he also brought me a selection of mustache binkies, knowing they would help soothe baby and make mama smile.
Paying It Forward with Practical New Parent Gifting
The incredible way our nearest and dearest were able to set our sleep-deprived minds at ease by addressing our most pressing needs for the first couple weeks of our baby boy's life really set the bar for any future new parent gifting I do myself. So, when my good friend Leslie gave birth to her little girl, I knew just what to bring baby Ava and my frazzled new mommy friend.
Taking a cue from the fabulously functional gifts I had received, I assembled a gift basket specifically designed to take stress off the new mom and dad. Using a bright pink laundry basket, because baby will need her own laundry bin, of course, I rounded up the following to bless the newly expanded family:
- A full-sized cozy blanket: Cuddling under the teeny, baby-sized ones, precious as they are, leaves parents in the cold.
- Dry shampoo and hair ties: No reason mom can't feel pulled together when company stops by, even if the shower got skipped!
- A package of paper plates and plastic flatware: No dirty dishes for at least a week!
- Hand sanitizer: Everyone's now prepared for speedy germ removal.
- A box of tissues: Being a new parent brings on lots of crying, from tears of joy to sleepless sobs.
- A Starbucks gift card: Loaded and ready, this card offers a much needed caffeine fix or two.
- A bottle of wine: To toast getting through 9 months without, and to celebrate the newest family member.
- Some healthy snacks: Chocolate is a must, but so are granola bars, fruit, and nuts.
As much fun as little outfits, stuffed bears, and colorful balloons can be to crowd into a hospital room, my family and friends have shown me that thinking a little beyond the expected can offer a gift that both comforts and lends a hand. There's no doubt any gift brought to welcome a new baby into the world will be met with warm gratitude, but there are those special gifts that leave lasting impressions by becoming a part of memories made, as life with a precious new babe begins… and that is really something to treasure!
