on.fb.me/10RL3Bf bit.ly/12O7AyG In theaters August 7th. From New Line Cinema comes the action comedy "We're The Millers," starring Jennifer Aniston ("Horrible Bosses") and Jason Sudeikis ("The Campaign"). The film is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber ("Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story"). David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms). In order to wipe the slate clean—and maintain a clean bill of health—David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad's latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the "Millers" are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.
This species is a regular visitor. It likely wants to bathe or feed, and is checking out the surroundings before proceeding lower. These birds are usually spotted in large flocks; they swarm over my thistle feeder in a tumbling mass, and usually perch close enough to permit great photo ops. They are plentiful during high summer and typically ignore my presence. Sexes are determinable... but it's not foolproof. I believe this one to be female.

Pot pie satisfaction. Dumplings are steamed in gravy on the stove top. You need a heavy pot with a tight fitting lid. Easy recipe and delicious. You can substitute cannelini beans for the chickpeas. * Found the book: Dinner Pies: from shepherd's pies and pot pies to turnovers, quiches, hand pies and more, with 100 delectable and foolproof recipes by Ken Haedrich. Recipe here is large as suggested in Haedrich's excellent cookbook--some minor additions and adaptations.
Chickpea Pot Pie and Dumplings
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced celery
1 medium carrot, diced
1 tbsp minced garlic
3/4 tsp curry powder
1 tsp oregano
3/4 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp ground sage
1/2 cup of peas (frozen is fine)
4 cups of vegetable broth
1 can of chickpeas or cannelini beans, drained
2 tbsp of soy sauce
2 tbsp of nutritional yeast (optional)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp corn starch
1/3 cup dry white wine (optional)
Chickpea Pot Pie
Use a dutch oven with a tight fitting lid. In olive oil, saute the vegetables--except the peas for five minutes. Add the herbs and spices. Stir. Add the broth and beans. Simmer until the carrots are tender. Add the peas, cider vinegar, soy sauce and nutritional yeast. Remove a cup of the broth and add the corn starch--stir well to combine and return the mixture to the stew. Stir until thickened. Thin a bit with white wine or a little more broth if you like gravy--the dumplings will soak up the gravy while cooking. Adjust for salt and pepper. Set the pan on low heat while you prepare the dumplings.
Dumplings
In a small bowl combine:
1 cup of flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp each of basil and oregano
and add:
1/2 cup of milk
1 tbsp of melted butter
Mix the dry ingredient with the wet ingredients and drop by tablespoon onto the simmering stew. Put on the lid. Adjust the heat to a gentle simmer and allow the dumplings to steam for 15 minutes--no peeking. Okay, maybe one peek.
Serve with a salad. Cranberry sauce is nice too.
I adapted this recipe from a cookbook I borrowed from the library--I can't find the title now although it was a cookbook featuring pot pies. I'll credit the chef when I hunt the cookbook down.

Pieter Claesz’s Still Life with Turkey Pie is a visual feast. The abundance and variety of food so eloquently celebrated in art of the Dutch Golden Age did not escape the attention of those responsible for its safe distribution and use. The quality of perishables was monitored, and government regulations banned the sale of rotting vegetables and fruits. Bakers were required to wash their feet with hot water and nontoxic soap before using them to knead tough rye dough. Food preservation techniques, among them smoking, drying, and pickling, were widely practiced. And against a common misconception, spices were used to enhance the flavor of food, not to cover its taste.
Centuries later, the abundance of food in some parts of the world rivals that of the Dutch Golden Age. But neither the distribution nor the safety of the global food supply has become foolproof. While microbiology has revolutionized the way we perceive food safety, movement of people and goods has compromised it. Now as in the 17th century, consumers in affluent societies sit at sumptuous banquets to a mythical array of goods, bar none. Yet, sweet or sour, rare or local, organic, bioengineered, opulent, or simply served, food carries warnings, no longer about frivolity and excess but about disease risk. When van Leeuwenhoek's animalcules are pathogenic, each meal becomes a gamble. Infection, the great equalizer, has turned banquet to Dutch treat.

Experts confirmed that the best method for weight loss and cellulite is to eat well and exercise regularly. Nonetheless, there are a few simple tactics to speed up losing weight, and one of them is aromatherapy. People know essential oils have a slew of health advantages.
So can essential oils help with weight loss and cellulite? Research says breathing, diffusing, or applying a particular essential oil (peppermint oil, grapefruit essential oil, juniper berry, citrus fresh, etc.) can help reduce cravings, boost energy levels, and speed up the weight reduction process. There's no danger in trying these essential oils as long as you don't have any problems with them.
The Effectiveness of Essential Oils for Weight Loss and Cellulite
Everyone understands that there is no quick fix for weight loss. Diet fads and magical concoctions will only work for a short time, if at all, and can lead to long-term health issues. The most foolproof ways for weight loss and cellulite are to cut sugar cravings and frequent exercise.
Nevertheless, incorporating essential oils into your everyday routine can help achieve mental and physical well-being, enabling weight loss more quickly and easily. Essential oils are well-known for their capacity to influence your mood, and they can either relax or invigorate you.
They can help with the psychological issues that numerous people face when trying to lose weight, such as emotional eating, junk food cravings, exhaustion, and a lack of enthusiasm. A specific essential oil can act as an appetite suppressant preventing people from having weight gain and somewhat fuelling the body with healthy meals.
It can also help maintain self-esteem, improves mood, and drive, allowing them to reach their best during regular workouts. It can also prevent emotionally overwhelmed people during the weight loss process.
For instance, people who want to improve their digestive health must use peppermint oil. Peppermint oil's pungent, minty aroma refreshes and energizes the mind, keeping the alertness and focus. It's ideal for early morning exercises or struggling with clarity and focus.
Although peppermint does not melt or burn fat cells, it does have exercise-enhancing properties, according to a study. Peppermint oil helps people get the most out of their workouts and burn more calories through physical stamina.
Essential oils also provide physical health advantages. They can help in weight loss, cellulite, improve blood sugar, aid digestion, and increase energy levels. They can serve as a fat burner and provide healthy digestion. Certain essential oils can also give more energy, making workouts less difficult.
Adding essential oils to the routine can help pave the way to a successful weight loss journey, while they are by no means a replacement for a healthy lifestyle.

How to Eliminate Cellulite With Essential Oils
Essential oils should not be used directly because of their mighty components and might irritate the skin. Blending essential oils with carrier oils is required. Coconut oil and olive oil are two common oils that most people have in their kitchen.
The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy suggests the following carrier oils:
Cedarwood
Cypress essential oil
Geranium oil
Grapefruit oil
Juniper oil
Lemon oil
Juniper berry oil
Jojoba oil
Citrus oil
Rosemary oil
While regularly a cosmetic matter, cellulite can affect women's self-esteem. The topical application of essential oils can be a choice for those who are unsatisfied with the appearance of their cellulite. It can create firmer-looking skin and enhance skin elasticity.
Essential oils such as juniper berry, sage, grapefruit essential oil, lemon, sweet fennel, black pepper, cedarwood, and Litsea Cubeba (May Chang) can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
How to Lose Weight Using Essential Oils
If you wish to incorporate essential oils into your weight-loss regimen, speak to a doctor first. They can help decide if this is the best option and go over any potential dangers.
When it comes to using essential oils for weight loss, topical use is the best chance. They may help reduce fluid retention, toxins and improve blood circulation. They can also lessen the appearance of belly fat and stretch marks, depending on the specific essential oil.
Before applying the essential oil of your choice, make sure to dilute it with a carrier oil. Putting essential oils on your skin without thinning them might cause discomfort and inflammation. Vegetable oil like coconut oil is a typical example of carrier oil.
Fat burning oils are not the same when it comes to weight loss. Clinical research shows that some of the considered bath oils are helpful in weight loss:
Juniper essential oil
Lavender oil
Fennel
Lemon essential oil
Cinnamon oil
Bergamot essential oil
Rosemary essential oil
Citrus essential oil
Garlic oil
Perform a skin patch test before applying this combination to the entire body. The ideal area to do this is usually on the forearm. Wait for 24 hours and write down the symptoms that may occur. The solution should then be safe to use if there's no irritation or pain.
The specialists at the University of Minnesota recommend a dilution range of 1 to 5 percent once you've picked at least one essential oil and corresponding carrier oil. If you're massaging large portions of the body, keep the percentage closer to 1%.
One percent: 1 drop essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil.
Three percent: 3 drops of essential oil for each teaspoon of carrier oil.
Five percent: 5 drops of essential oil for each teaspoon of carrier oil.
Next, gently massage oil on the afflicted region with the essential oil combination. Since these oils evaporate quickly, it's best to use them twice a day.
Tips and Warnings
Specialists have tested essential oils for their ability to treat cellulite with minor adverse effects. Nonetheless, an additional study suggests that the actual usefulness is still needed on the daintiest oils and combinations to utilize (against the effectiveness of single carrier oil or massaging).
While some people argue that the antioxidants included in essential oils can help weight loss alone, the main challenges are diet and exercise. People lose weight when they consume fewer calories than what the body expends. When the body consumes more calories than it burns, it will eventually result in weight gain.
Including essential oils in daily routines, such as those from a 100 percent pure, organic line, can aid weight loss while also promoting good sleeping patterns and a healthy immune system.
When considering an essential cellulite oil therapy, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Make sure the treatment area of the skin is well ventilated.
Keep oils away from the eyes.
Oils are very flammable. Store them away from flames.
Consult your doctor if the treatment causes skin irritation and if the problem persists after using essential oils.
If someone inadvertently drinks essential oils, call the local poison control center right away and try drinking whole or 2 percent milk. Try not to vomit.
Unlike any diet pill or weight loss pills, essential oils are not for ingestion.
Seek medical advice before using any essential oils.
See a doctor or dermatologist for guidance on the best treatment options for your skin type.
Several essential oils are showing reactions with certain drugs. For people with diabetes, taking hypertensive medicine, or just had surgery, it's better to avoid using it internally. Essential oils may not be advisable for people who have a history of convulsions or seizures.
Allergies, skin irritation, higher heart and blood pressure rates, and respiratory difficulties are just a few of the negative impacts of essential oils. These particular oils, such as cinnamon, clove, rosemary, and clary sage, should be avoided by pregnant women as they trigger contractions.
Another great procedure to get rid of cellulite is with QWO. It's a highly suggested treatment for adult women's buttocks and other body parts with mild to severe cellulite. QWO is a long-lasting injectable that targets specific areas of cellulite. It contains collagen, which contributes to skin texture improvement. However, due to the possibility of allergies, this may not be ideal for everyone. It's advisable to speak to a health care provider for safety.

This year, 2026 is the centenary of the formation of Zeiss Ikon, a major player in European camera manufacture in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 20th century.
To mark this anniversary, I've decided to use a different Zeiss Ikon camera every two weeks throughout the year, a project I'm calling “Twenty-six in Twenty-six”.
Zeiss Ikon launched their series of Contaflex cameras in 1953. Over the following 20 years or so, twelve versions were made with ever increasing degrees of sophistication and indeed weight. A wide range of accessories was available, and these precision made leaf shuttered SLRs proved very popular. The Contaflex 126 is a different beast altogether, it may share the name and bear a superficial resemblance to the rest of the family, but it's something of a cuckoo in the nest.
Kodak introduced the 126, or Instamatic cartridge in 1963. It was intended to provide a simple, foolproof way for a growing numbers of less technically savvy users to load film into their cameras. Although the film is 35mm wide, the format is not the same. The film, which has one perforation per frame and sits within a plastic cartridge, is backed by a roll of paper, and gives square negatives measuring 28 x 28mm. Until very recently Instagram's native format was square, and it may be that the name itself was riffing on the Instamatic brand.
While the format was unashamedly aimed at the amateur snapshot market, many of the major manufacturers added a token higher end SLR 126 model to their range. This is a bit of a puzzle to me, one criticism of the 126 cartridge is that the absence of a pressure plate to keep the film absolutely flat might theoretically impair the image quality, yet surely any photographer with such technical concerns wouldn't be put off by the easily learnable step of loading a 35mm cassette into a camera. Nonetheless, Rollei, Kodak, Ricoh and of course the prestigious Zeiss Ikon, felt the need to pitch in.
Unlike the “normal” Contaflexes, which at best have interchangeable front elements, the 126 version has fully interchangeable lenses,though with a mount which is unique to this one model. Optical physics dictate that the longest practical focal length that can be achieved by swapping the front element is 115mm, but the 126 range of lenses went up to 200mm, though it seems that very few of these lenses were actually made. The other key difference between the 35mm and 126 Contaflexes, is that the latter employ a focal plane shutter rather than the traditional leaf shutter.
Today, with the only 126 film available being long expired, it's actually quite useful to be able to set the camera manually. The oft quoted rule of thumb that film loses sensitivity at a rate of one stop per decade, means that an ISO 100 film made in the 1970s would need to be exposed at around ISO 3 today. Most consumer Instamatic cameras won't allow this, but using an aperture of f2.8, and the shutter speed of 1/30th, it's practical to use the Contaflex 126 in reasonable daylight. The film is very expired Fujicolor Super HR 100, developed in the Bellini C41 kit.
De Dion Bouton Model Q (1903) Engine 698cc Single cylinder.
For the 1902 season a new genre of front-engined De Dion Bouton cars was introduced in 6hp and 8hp engine sizes, as with their predecessors comprising single-cylinder cars with atmospheric inlet valve and mechanical exhaust valve. De Dion's gearbox was simplicity itself and virtually foolproof for the first time car driver. The fast revving engines were supremely reliable for the time and De Dion Bouton service and back-up was second-to-none. The number of surviving cars is testimony to their popularity and build quality.

It's Friday, the sun is shining and the art is free. Come on down! We have prepared a whole load of stuff which is hopefully already in the clutches of our good man My Dog Sighs for his upcoming Free Art Friday event in Southsea this Sunday. As far as i'm aware he has hundreds of pieces from a wide variety of artists and all you have to do to snag one is head to Southsea and grab one for yourself. It's a foolproof plan! We've provided a variety of pieces (mainly on cardboard) and all come complete with the 'id-iom certified' stamp that guarantees authenticity. My main concern is whether i'll be able to get down in order to snag something for myself...

I don't have a new photo, and time I could have spent taking photos was instead used to read about the exciting news regarding Ottawa's 10-year light rail saga, which has now led to an unlikely post about local politics.
I've been reading about council plans to commission a new study on a subway or transit tunnel through the downtown core, and I think this could be just the magic ticket to save Albert and Slater streets from the horrible demon known as light rail transit. This way, instead of the original plan's minimal construction followed by a series of electric trains running where the 95 and 97 currently go, we can dig a giant money pit for 10 years and end up with a cool tunnel that Ottawa, being a small city, doesn't need.
Never mind that cancelling the current plan in the name of saving money leaves us with no plan, which means, knowing Ottawa, many more years of exploratory studies and research, both of which usually cost money to carry out. Maybe Larry O'Brien plans to do the research himself, pro bono.
Never mind the fact that any lawsuit from Siemens/DCL will have to be argued in court, and no one on council can say with any certainty that the city's legal position is foolproof--far from it. Why are we gambling like this?
And never mind the fact that light rail was first proposed in 1997, ten years ago. It took four years to get the O-Train up and running with five stations, and six more years to get to where we are today, which could very well be nowhere at all.
I still can't figure out why the businesses on Albert & Slater are so up in arms about rails running on their streets. I know Ottawa is famous for its NIMBY-style politics, but will laying tracks on two streets really destroy the city as we know it? I guess it could affect the hopping bar scene and vibrant street life in the business district, which we all know is so wonderfully alive these days. I shudder to think what those empty, wind-swept streets might be like after 6PM, you know, with people and trains on them.
And I can't understand the paranoia over congestion. The buses are congested now, and there's no reasonable alternative but light rail (unless you count a second Queensway as a reasonable alternative). A tunnel is an impossible joke and it's embarrassing to even see it brought up by people who, given the amount of time and money already spent on this, should probably know better. 99% of urban planners, no matter what their political outlook, know that a subway is a risky investment, best left to large cities who have the financial ability to deal with the thousands of problems that inevitably arise. Never mind that we just do not need a tunnel to save our precious downtown core and its fragile, vulnerable businesses.
Is it the construction everyone is so nervous about? Are the business owners on these streets willing to thwart the city's long-term transit plans just to maintain the status quo, so they can coast along without any big disruptions for a while? I hope not. Hey, and there's another thing: why are we letting hotel, restaurant, and.. uhh.. what are the other businesses on Albert & Slater, again? Anyway, why are we letting these people determine the direction of transit? Does the owner of the Hasty Market really know enough about suburban sprawl, Queensway congestion, or urban development? And let's say he does: it still doesn't explain how his influence has become so far from commensurate with his position. Can you imagine the time, noise, and complaints that would accompany the construction of a tunnel? A tunnel?! Next to that mess, laying down some new rails and stations probably feels about as hard as building your backyard deck over a long weekend.
It's incredibly frustrating to see a city council gripped with this kind of perfectionism. It may work for reclusive authors and musicians who have the kind of luxury to spend 15 years planning a project, but this is a living, growing city. Light rail is about to become Ottawa's Chinese Democracy.
European cities are full of trains, trams, streetcars, buses, and bike lanes. I'm sure there were plenty of headaches and arguments before any of these systems were put into place over here, but the point is they were implemented nonetheless, most of them work wonderfully, and they contribute to that oft-noted feeling of vitality most North American cities (save a few) can only dream of. If we manage to scrap this entire rail plan and start anew, spending what will probably amount to Larry O'Brien's entire time in office mired in lawsuits, new studies, and more debate, well: I'm quitting the band, man.
Five Hours Later: Well, the vote's done, and it looks like it's all over. This whole issue has turned me into an angry old man who pays his taxes and doesn't like what they do with them. I'm staying in Belgium until 2025.

Comment: My sentiments exactly.
Now instead of $400 million from the city for a LRT line and 15 years of operation and maintenance we will have a $300 million lawsuit and no transit improvements. Great job city council (save the members who are rightfully pissed), way to give a big collective 'fuck you' to city staff that have spent 6 years working on the project.

Comment: Screw that - at least this o'brein guy is getting shit done. you may not agree with what he's doing, but you have to agree that he's at least doing something - but that, stopping things from being done. yes, it could very well be a new turn for the better in the ottawa environment. less whining and more doing of what needs to be done in order to get things from not being done.
Name: Conrad Email:
Comment: I don't understand. Doesn't city council vote to lower the annual budget for OC Transpo on an almost bi-annual basis? The cheapest option seems to me to be to get funding for the buses back up to a level where lines to major population centers in Kanata and Barrhaven aren't cut almost entirely and to a point where fares don't need to be the highest in North America (actual statistic). We have all kinds of bus-only roads running from major stations downtown, so they forgo the Queensway.
The light rail would have meant an extra transfer for everyone coming from the West end to the East. I agree this wasn't done very well, but I'm not sure any train system is needed at all.
Name: Jordan Email:
Comment: I've always liked the idea of putting all the light rail money into OC Transpo, but it doesn't seem likely that any council will ever get $400 million from two levels of government to improve a bus system (maybe I'm wrong here, but it just feels like we'd have to make the greatest pitch in the history of pitches in order to pull this off). Of course the federal and provincial money isn't everything, and the state of Ottawa's mass transit would be immeasurably improved for the next several years if even just the city's contribution to the light rail line was put into OC Transpo, but the myth of the train is somehow going to prevent this from taking place. I always tend to fall back on this sociological argument for light rail, in that trains are somehow more acceptable for a large portion of the middle-aged populace to use, whereas it's hard to travel with any dignity on a packed bus (there are many flaws to this line of thinking, but I'm convinced that the idea is prevalent and strong enough to prevent any kind of massive OC Transpo cash infusion from ever happening). I know these anti-bus attitudes aren't set in stone, and an ideal (maybe even free) bus system would likely change some minds, but I just don't see it happening. It's annoying that we have to pin our transit improvement hopes on some kind of magic train set, but I still have a gut feeling that there are too many people who'd give up their car ride into work in order to take a train, but would never step foot on a bus, no matter how ideal the service. I have no evidence save a few anecdotes to back this up, by the way. One other thing--I thought the plan had the Albert & Slater lines accommodating both bus & train traffic with alternating stations on each block, so a 97 bus from the west end wouldn't require a transfer at Bayview to get downtown. I could be wrong. And... just now I read about O'Brien's statement that light rail might not be a part of any future transit plans at all, which pretty much makes everything I just wrote completely useless.
Found a better pic of the door. Looks like i'm with good company.

This morning my husband and I had a small miscommunication. He thought that I said that I was going to make cookies this morning, and was disappointed when I said that I wasn't planning on doing that.
I felt bad about disappointing him. So when he and the boys were volunteering today at the county's Renaissance Faire, I whipped up a batch of Oatmeal Brownie Drops.
My theory about cookie recipes is that I take Nestle's and Hershey's recipes and follow them slavishly - these companies have every incentive to provide foolproof recipes so that you'll keep buying their products. For the most part, that theory has worked well for me.
This is a recipe from one of my old Hershey's cookbooks, although I was unable to find it on the Hershey's website. However, I did find it in this blogpiece - smallhomebigstart.blogspot.com/2010/07/oatmeal-brownie-dr...

This could be a Eastern Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) or a Copes gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis). Most likely however it is a Copes gray because it is more common for them to be this color. But the only foolproof way to tell the difference is by the frogs call which i did not hear.
Rabbit stories from Deer-Credible Story From Snow Field chronicles.
Read the full story: Sunday afternoon I went for a hunt, but these shots haven’t hurt a single animal! For the first time, I had to settle for one single deer from behind, but for the second time, I got a foolproof tip. In the first thirty minutes, I haven’t me a single soul, then suddenly I caught a glimpse of a herd of 30-40 deer and I couldn’t believe my eyes! They were on their way fast, as you can see on the photo below.
Then I decided to go around the fishpond, so we can meet halfway, since the herd went towards the pond. However, soon I had a big surprise once more, as I found another group of 20-30 individuals.
I was planning to get closer to them and luckily, my clothes seemed suitable, since I was wearing a light gray jacket with a hoodie and a pair of jeans, and my patience proved to be effective. I’ve spent about three hours in the -4°C weather in the wilderness and I enjoyed every single moment of it, so much so, that I didn’t have time to feel the cold, if anything, I was feeling warm because I had to do one fourth of the trip squat walking. So yeah, hello, muscle soreness, but who cares after an amazing experience like this?!
When one group got scared and ran away, I started to approach the other, and yes, first I had to sneak and stealth in the snow-white field, then, as I was getting closer to the herd, I switched back once again to the beloved squat walk. After that I was trying to reduce the distance between us, meter by meter.
The real miracle happened when I was squatting and one of the deer started to gallop towards me. I couldn’t even dream of something like this, that instead of receding from the lenses of the camera, one curious individual would come closer in a rush. I was squatting in an ideal position, totally still, waiting for what will happen next as I was already seeing the headlines in front of me: „deer attacked a Hungarian photographer”. Only my clicking finger was moving – it was a truly incredible moment!
In this moment, the deer could be about twenty meters from me, but it is hard for me to remember the exact details, as I became quite emotional because of its honorific visit. After a couple seconds, it perceived the possible danger, stroke a pose from the side as well, and then, in a flash, turned its back on me and ran away.
While I was switching between the herds, I saw something on the field that looked like a tussock, but turned out to be a rabbit, a beautiful hare, to be exact. Obviously, it hasn’t hesitated for long, and went down the rabbit hole.
I found a spot on the field where the undergrowth was a bit higher and provided a perfect cover for me, even though we are talking about a 30-40-centimeter long grass, but it allowed me, for yet another time, to get incredibly close to the herd.

THE STORY OF THE EISENHOWER-JOHNSON MEMORIAL TUNNELS
We went by the book, but the mountain couldn't read
--- R.C. (Rube) Hopper, 1972 ---
Colorado's scenic wonders lured settlers and tourists alike. Geography and weather placed strict limits on travel routes and seasons. Politicians, engineers, and citizens often disagreed about how to cross the Continental Divide. Between 1941 and 1943, the Department of Highways constructed the “Pioneer Bore,” the first attempted construction of a high-altitude tunnel near Loveland Pass. The 7'x7' tunnel was just over a mile long. The route was eventually abandoned as road standards changed after 1945.
In the 1950s, the Western Slope agricultural community needed reliable, year-round routes to Denver markets and railroads, while Colorado's booming tourism industry demanded improved highways. The 1956 Interstate Highway Act provided federal funding to answer these challenges. The route along Straight Creek, today's westbound Eisenhower tunnel bore, was deemed the best of eight possible routes, but construction would not begin for another decade.
Despite occasional snow flurries, and temperatures in the mid-30s, Colorado Governor John A. Love dedicated the Eisenhower Tunnel on March 8, 1973. He proclaimed the tunnel to be “the
most effective answer to tying east and west Colorado together and opening the way West.” The tunnel, open in all weather, saved motorists 9.1 miles of the slow, winding road over Loveland Pass.
Before the first tunnel opened, the Department's engineers were designing the second bore. The Eisenhower Tunnel accommodated both east and west bound traffic and the Department knew that was not a long-term solution. Excavation of today's eastbound Johnson Tunnel began in 1975. Completed and dedicated on December 21, 1979, this second tunnel was named for Colorado Governor and U.S. Senator Edwin C. Johnson.
WE KNEW THERE WAS BAD ROCK IN THERE
Problem: By 1969, all involved in construction faced a dilemma. They knew that the mountain still moved along the Loveland Fault and fragile rock could come crashing down at any time. Designed to dig and hold up the rock simultaneously, a 450-ton mining shield moved only a few yards before a combination of loose rock and pressure unintentionally seized the shield in its tracks.
Technique: The builders opted for the multiple drilling method. Crews dug 13 small tunnels, or drifts, six to eight feet tall, to form an arch. Workers filled each drift with concrete. The drifts were dug starting at the bottom of the arch so the concrete at the top of the first drift served as the second drift's floor.
Result: The multiple drilling method prevented further cave-ins and allowed subsequent excavation of the mountain's middle where crews expanded the tunnel. Tunnel engineer R.C. (Rube) Hopper observed that multiple drilling was “a little slow, but it is foolproof.”
PEOPLE
Rules for the road
An avid sportsman, Dwight Eisenhower started visiting Colorado shortly after World War II. Like the average citizen, “Ike” occasionally found himself caught in traffic on U.S. Highway 40 between Fraser and Denver. As president, he signed the Federal Interstate Highway Act of 1956. The Colorado state legislature memorialized him by naming the Straight Creek Tunnel, today's westbound bore, the Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel in 1972.
The observant engineer
From survey crew to executive director, Charles Shumate spent five decades (1924-1975) employed by the Colorado Department of Highways. Shumate was an engineer's engineer and a newspaper reporter's dream as he was always good for a quote. In 1963, as work began on the bore beneath the Continental Divide, Shumate pronounced the work “the most difficult feat ever undertaken by the Colorado Highway Department.”
A new light at the tunnel
A Department of Highways clerical error offered Janet Bonnema a tunnel engineering job in 1970, transforming the Department's workplace culture. In 1972, a state constitutional amendment guaranteed equal rights for women, superseding miners' superstitions about women underground. Eighteen months after she was hired, engineer Janet Bonnema went underground to perform her duties, prompting a walkout of about 60 workers. All but one man returned the next day.
Phillip McOllough, project engineer
Phillip McOllough was the Department of Highways' tunnel construction engineer, and later district engineer, for both the Eisenhower and Johnson bores. From July 1968 until the Johnson tunnel opened in 1979, McOllough helped create and implement new construction techniques when the workers encountered “bad rock”. His cautious work saved lives and brought both tunnels to a successful completion. He was district engineer until 1981.
The tunnel's guiding light
R. C. (Rube) Hopper served as the tunnel's district engineer during the Eisenhower bore's construction. Hopper oversaw the drilling of multiple small tunnels, or drifts, in an arch pattern and backfilled with concrete. The drifts provided necessary support to keep the mountain's “bad rock” from crashing down on workers and equipment. Reflecting on construction, Hopper joked: “We were going by the book, but the mountain couldn't read.”
Big Ed
Edwin C. “Big Ed” Johnson fought to bring an interstate highway to the Rockies. Serving three terms as U.S. Senator and two terms as Governor, Johnson used his political savvy to convince the federal government to route the interstate through Colorado. Johnson's efforts broke the decades-long stalemate over high country road construction. The state named the eastbound bore in his memory in 1979.
CHALLENGES
How to open a mountain
Challenges of tunnel construction at 11,000 feet included reduced efficiency of workers and equipment and a shorter construction season. After careful planning and a pioneer bore, engineers could not predict all rock conditions. In 1967, the winning bid was $54 million to open the Eisenhower bore. The final cost topped over $100 million. Rechanging the tunneling method due to bad rock conditions doubled the cost.
Time is money
It took less time, but it wasn't less expensive the second time around. The Eisenhower bore was still under construction when the state opened bids for the Johnson bore. The Johnson bore's final cost topped approximately $100 million. Engineers estimate that if these tunnels were built in the early 21st century they would cost around $1.5 billion.
Mining a tunnel
Excavation comprised four tasks — drilling, loading, shooting and mucking. Holes were drilled around the rock the miners wanted to remove. Explosives were then loaded into these holes and “shot,” or blasted. After each blast, miners and front-end loaders mucked out loose rock and dumped it into narrow-gauge mining cars pulled by an electric locomotive. The Department ultimately used the loose rock in road construction.
Cold, noisy and dark: Life inside the mountain
Eight hours of sensory overload may be the best way to describe a shift in the Eisenhower and Johnson bores. The Denver Post described conditions inside the mountain as “sound becomes a physical torrent,” water “leaks” from the rocks and miners wore “grimy, rubber-coated tub overalls.” At construction's peak, 1,140 people worked three shifts 24 hours a day for six days a week.
PRIDE
Before the Tunnels
In the 1960s, Charles Shumate witnessed “50 to 75 cars going around and around the capitol building honking their horns and with signs saying, 'The Western Slope Needs to Tunnel Under the Continental Divide'.” The completed tunnels linked eastern and western Colorado with a year-round reliable route. Approximately 310 million vehicles drove the tunnels from the late 1970s to the early 21st century.
The tunnels today
The Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels are the largest structures built with Interstate funds and stand at an elevation of 11,158 feet, the highest on the Interstate system. Construction took 13 years and $220 million to mine the tunnels, build the ventilation buildings, and the highway approaches to the tunnels.
A staff of approximately 50 persons perform critical operations and maintenance duties at the tunnels at every hour of every day to keep traffic moving across Colorado. Every day, workers watch for and immediately respond to vehicle breakdowns or other problems that might slow down or stop traffic, or lead to more serious accidents. In fact, there has never been a fatal accident in the tunnels in 40+ years of operation.

You know that stirring's not coming out of my budget, right? I mean, you should have your own budget for the stirring you do, because that's, like, not part of my project. Anyway, how long does it take to stir? Can we get someone it to stir it? You probably shouldn't be doing the stirring but you should be getting someone else to do the stirring. No, I don't know how I'm expected to fund you taking the time to get someone else to do the stirring you're already doing, but it's not coming out of my budget I know that much and anyway, you're not actually stirring. Strictly speaking, you're just overseeing the cooking from a higher level but of course you'll be expected to stir occasionally but I'm not paying for it etc.

We have prepared a whole load of stuff which is hopefully already in the clutches of our good man My Dog Sighs for his upcoming Free Art Friday event in Southsea this Sunday. As far as i'm aware he has hundreds of pieces from a wide variety of artists and all you have to do to snag one is head to Southsea and grab one for yourself. It's a foolproof plan! We've provided a variety of pieces (mainly on cardboard) and all come complete with the 'id-iom certified' stamp that guarantees authenticity. My main concern is whether i'll be able to get down in order to snag something for myself...

the day i posted my last photo from rio i went to a brazilian bar to watch brazil play chile. i took my camera hoping to get some fan shots, however my camera had other ideas and promptly stopped working. i tried to google a fix, but all the methods seemed too complicated, so instead i started googling for new cameras. as my d60 was over 6 years old all of the results were hugely superior and i started to get excited at the prospect of an upgrade. i won enough money at the last world cup to buy a new camera, so i thought there would be a romantic symmetry of doing the same after a south american world cup. the good news was that after the final i had won £805. the bad news was that i had also lost £797. those of you who are quick with maths will work out that left me with an overall profit of £8... and you can't get many cameras for £8. i spent a couple of weeks annoyed that my seemingly foolproof plan of winning a new camera had failed. and then i had a revelation: it wasn't just a new camera that i got before my travels 4 years ago... i also got a credit card. and as of yesterday i now have a brand new toy.

Wali Khan Babar laid to rest in the presence of hundreds of mourners.
By Rafiullah Mandokhail.
ZHOB:
Slain Journalist Wali Khan Babar laid to rest, who was shot dead by snipers in Karachi on Jan 13th.
According to detail, the funeral prayer was offered last night in his ancestral village Garda Babar at 6:00 PM last night. He was laid to rest in the presence of hundreds of mourned, relatives, politicians and friends. Deputy Commissioner Hamid Al-Karim, Assistant Commissioner Suhail Hashmi, DPO Raz Muhammad Tareen, DSP Sheikh Zia Mandokhail, renowned politicians including Secretary Information Pk-MAP Raza Muhammad Raza, Central Leader ANP Sheikh Muhammad Yar Khan Mandokhail, JUI Nazaryati Leader Hafiz Hazrat Gul, JUI (F) Leader Molvi Shams u Din and elites participated in his last rites. It was very emotional scene and people were weeping.
It is to be mentioned that Journalists, Pk-MAP and ANP activists staged a protest demonstration against the brutal killing of Wali Khan Babar. Journalists raised black flag on press club building, while they wore black arm bands to condemn Wali Khan Babar’s killing.
The protesters marched on various roads of the city caring banners and placards, they chanted slogans against the government and MQM. Addressing the protesters Raza Muhammad Raza, Sheikh Muhammad Yar Khan Mandokhail, Abdul Qayum Advocate, Dr. Aurangzeb Ehsas and Muhammad Rafiq Mandokhail condemned the cold-blooded murder of the young and promising journalist Wali Babar. They said “The government is shielding the professional killers in Karachi and awarding them a licence to kill anyone in the city”, adding that the government was patronizing the MQM, they accused. The protesters further said that the Karachi-based political party was resorting to “ethic cleansing of Pashtoons, Sindhis, Baloch and the Punjabis”, adding that none of the perpetrators of such blatant targeted killings had ever been arrested or punished.
They demanded of the government to investigate the incident and award exemplary punishment to the killers and provide foolproof security to media persons.
Now this is a real camera. You dictate what it does, everything is dependant on you, and to an extent on luck. Can do stuff on this which a digital won't.

When the armory experts at Section 31 got a hold of the attachments for the Bullpup SF PHASER rifle family they immediately set out to create unique weapons for their own uses, the first two products of this project were these stand alone revolving multiple grenade launcher & Plasma Burst Shotgun Each of these can be easily handled by even the least experienced of users with a minimum of training thanks in large part due to the advanced nearly foolproof sights, & the grenade launcher has almost every amenity of the 21st century MK.33 MGL, with the addition of ultra-lightweight composite and tritanimum construction materials, so in conclusion when empty the grenade launcher weighs in at 4 Kilograms, and only 6 Kilograms loaded. The Plasma Burst Shotgun though a little odd in appearance and purpose to contemporary forces is a good portable area clearance weapon with the ability to be discharged 100 times at a semi-automatic rate of fire, has an integrated foregrip to avoid snagging and maintain compactness, is equipped with a set of BUIS, and has a maximum lethal range of 75 meters.

Six Apps That Help You Lose Weight
Rachel Grumman Bender
Nov 9, 2011
www.youbeauty.com/body-fitness/six-apps-that-help-you-los...
Anyone who has ever struggled to get off the couch and hit the gym knows it’s much harder to pull a no-show when someone—a friend, a trainer—is waiting to meet you there. It’s called accountability and for some people who are looking to shed excess pounds or shape up, it can give them the edge they need to reach their goal.
Studies show that using tools to hold yourself accountable, such as keeping a food journal or working out with a buddy, help people successfully stick to a weight loss plan or exercise routine. And the Internet has only made it easier to stay on track. A 2010 study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research looked at a web-based weight maintenance intervention program and found that the more frequently people logged onto weight loss sites, the more pounds they shed. In the study, users who went online and recorded their weight at least once a month for 24 months maintained the highest amount of weight loss—an average of nine pounds—compared to those who went online at least once a month for 14 months and kept off five pounds on average. Those who logged on less often maintained an average weight loss of a mere three pounds.
But not all experts agree that accountability is the best way to meet a weight-loss goal. “The problem with accountability is that in order to turn your goal into something that you can hold yourself accountable for, you almost always have to focus on an outcome rather than a process,” notes Art Markman, Ph.D., YouBeauty Psychology Advisor “Successful weight loss means both losing weight and also maintaining that weight. In order to do that successfully, you have to make significant and sustainable changes to your lifestyle. You have to eat differently in a way that you can continue even after you reach your target weight. And you have to add regular exercise into the routine.”
Adds Markman, “you're better off focusing on creating healthy habits that are sustainable. The focus should always be on process rather than outcome.”
Although Edward Abramson, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and author of "It's Not Just Baby Fat: 10 Steps to Help Your Child" to a Healthy Weight, agrees that accountability isn’t a foolproof weight loss tool, he says it can help you stay motivated by providing social support to get you through the rough patches, such as when that pint of ice cream is calling your name. “Motivation is really the key, given that weight loss is effortful and that you don’t always see immediate benefits,” says Dr. Abramson. “Often social support is a great motivator—someone who will be supportive and encouraging—and can be very useful in maintaining healthy eating habits and exercise.”
If you’re looking to lose five pounds or run for longer than five minutes without getting winded, check out these high tech ways to help you reach your weight-loss and fitness goals:
* The Eatery. This new app (available on iTunes) lets you take a photo of your food, rate it and share the information with other people also using the app or your friends on Facebook to get their feedback (they can rate your meals from “fit” to “fat”). The point? Sharing what you’re eating may make you more likely to think twice before diving into that mac ‘n’ cheese over a healthy salad. What’s more, you’ll be able to track your food trends, such as you’re more likely to reach for a donut at 3p.m. every day (try taking a walk instead), and become more aware of what you are eating so that you can change your behavior and choose healthier foods.
* The Withings Wifi Body Scale. The scale measures your weight, BMI, lean and fat mass and transfers the information to your smartphone or computer so you can keep track of your progress (or if you’re falling into old, bad habits). To raise the accountability stakes, the scale even lets you Tweet your weight so you can share it with anyone following you on Twitter, if you feel so bold. Talk about accountability!
* The BodyMedia Fit system. The BodyMedia Fit system includes an armband that’s worn day and night, which automatically clocks the calories you burn during daily activities—from running on the treadmill to running errands—and monitors your quality of sleep, which is another key factor in successful weight loss. Although wearing an armband 24 hours a day may not be the most convenient thing, this may make it all worth it: The BodyMedia Fit system boasts that users can lose up to three times the amount of weight compared to people trying to shed excess pounds on their own.
* Lose It! The free app (available on iTunes and the Lose It! website) is your virtual food and exercise journal, helping you monitor what you eat and how often you break a sweat. Based on your personal information, Lose It! calculates how many calories you should be eating daily. As you log in your food intake, it deducts calories from your total daily “budget.” The app lets you share how many pounds you’ve lost as well as your weight loss and fitness goals with friends to help you stay motivated. It will even remind you when you forget to log your meals. The result? The average Lose It! user drops more than 12 pounds.
* iMapMyFitness+. Whether you’re into biking or running, you can easily set goals and measure your progress with this fitness tracking app. Thanks to its GPS technology, iMapMyFitness+ easily tracks your time, distance, speed and pace on an interactive map when running or cycling. You can also email or Tweet your workout data to fitness buddies, friends and family.
* SocialGym. This straight-forward app helps you track your cardio and strength training workouts (from walking on the treadmill to biceps curls), chart your progress and share your workouts with your friends on Facebook to garner positive feedback to keep you going.
