Doodlebug marks 40th anniversary
As it has done for the past four decades, the Doodlebug Bazaar will help herald in the holiday season when the doors open at 9 a.m. Dec. 6.
By Hali Bernstein Saylor Boulder City Review
November 26, 2014 - 1:30 pm
The craft bazaar, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the city's Recreation Center, 900 Arizona St. There will be booths in both gyms and outside the facility. The bazaar is presented by the Community Club.
Traditionally held the first Saturday in December, the event is so popular with local residents and visitors it has been proclaimed Doodlebug Bazaar Day in perpetuity by Mayor Roger Tobler.
The official proclamation, presented in late October, recognized that the bazaar "is a phenomenon that brings the community together," complimenting the efforts of the club members and the donations they make to city organizations with proceeds from the event.
"It all has to be handcrafted. That's our claim to fame," said Cindy Lochner, who is in charge of securing vendors for the bazaar. "We are unique in that way. We have that small-town, craft-fair feel."
Club member Phyllis Holsey, who is marking her 20th year with the Doodlebug, started her affiliation as a crafter.
"It was just a small, family kind of thing," she said about the event's beginning.
Each year it has continued to grow until they could squeeze no more vendors in, Holsey said.
"There is always a waiting list of people wanting to get in," she added.
About 130 vendors at the bazaar feature a variety of holiday and home decor items, toys, clothing and jewelry, according to Lochner.
"There will be many new vendors and old favorites," she said, noting they come from Boulder City, the Las Vegas Valley, Pahrump, Arizona and Utah.
Holsey said it is the personal touch the vendors received from club members that keeps them coming back.
"We call to check on them, see what they need and welcome them to the Doodlebug," she said.
Holsey served as event chairwoman for 13 years before stepping down this year, although she remains in charge of the raffle. At one point, she was chairwoman of the event, head of the raffle and president of the Community Club.
"It's become a part of my life. I live and breathe the Doodlebug," she said.
Lochner said it is the people that keep her involved. "Everyone is so nice."
New this year is Santa's Picture Party presented by the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce. Santa will be on hand from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for pictures and will be accompanied by Jingle Cat, who will hand out goodie bags to children.
According to Jill Rowland-Lagan, CEO of the chamber, the move from Bicentennial Park to indoors at the bazaar should eliminate weather issues, as well as bring more people to the Doodlebug.
Last year, extremely cold temperatures and winds forced Santa's Picture Party to close early.
Each year, the bazaar nets about $10,000 for the Community Club, which donates the money to Boulder City organizations that need help, such as Emergency Aid of Boulder City, Safekey, Boulder City police and fire departments, and needy teens at Boulder City High School.
"The Doodlebug is our main fundraiser and gives us the opportunity to give away money all year long," President Linda Graham said. "We invite area charities to come speak and we give them money."
"Every penny we raise stays in Boulder City. We vote to make sure of that," Holsey said.
It's the primary reason Holsey is dedicated to the Doodlebug Bazaar.
The club makes its money from rental of the craft booths, food sales and the raffle, which features a $200 grand prize, a $100 second-place prize along with items donated by the vendors and area merchants.
Graham said she is very proud of the club and how much the small group does. Currently, the club has about 40 members.
"It such a small group and we are able to give away so much," she said.
And the best part, with only one event to organize and a year to plan and plenty of time to socialize, everyone has been able to remain friends, she said.

Time is ripe for pruning
By Bob Morris Gardening
This is the time of year when you can take large amounts of wood from trees, shrubs and many of our flowering and nonflowering plants. Break out your loppers or handsaw and make sure it's sharp, adjusted and sanitized before you start pruning. Remember, you can remove small amounts from trees and shrubs any time during the year using hand pruners but now is the time for removing stuff using the "big guns."
Compost often steams in cold weather
Don't be fooled because when compost is warm, it produces steam. It may look like it's hot, but during this cold weather steam is very commonly found with warm compost. The temperature of compost when it's cooling is only about 105 F. In the center of the pile it might be hotter but it's not hot enough to damage plants.
Some plants more susceptible to freezing temperatures
I went outside very early in the morning to put something in the recycling bins when I noticed frost on the lids. I thought, "We must've had a light freeze last night." I checked my phone weather app for the low temperature. It said the low was 45 F. "No, that can't be right." I checked other sources for the low temperature and it varied from upward of 36 F. My trash lids won't lie. Phone apps are good for predicting a possible freeze and needed protection, but nothing replaces verification that an actual freeze happened.

Plants classified by water use
Recently, I characterized mesic landscape plants, the types of plants that don't like to be kept overly dry or overly wet but grow most rapidly and healthier in "moist soils." Mesic plants run a gamut from those that can handle very wet soils to those that can tolerate somewhat dry soils. But as I mentioned before, mesic plants tolerate lawn irrigations.

Q: Is there a way to execute this code using a For Loop, just curious? This code removes the space between names and inserts a comma. I am curious to know if there is a way to execute the same code using a For Loop in replace of "Split". I remember doing something similar but not enough to actually do it.

function cutName (name) {
    return name.split(' ');
}

alert(cutName("Amjad Ali"));

A: Agree with the comments that what you are asking seems a bit weird, but here you go:

function cutName(name) {
  let result = "";
  for (let i = 0; i < name.length; i++) {
    if (name[i] === " ") result += ",";
    else result += name[i];
  }
  return result;
}

alert(cutName("Amjad Ali"));

This doesn't return an array as split() does, but the stringified result is the same (which appears to be what you are after).

If you do want an array, just like split(), try this instead:

function cutName (name) {
    let result = [];
    let lastIndex = 0;
    for(let i=0; i<name.length; i++) {
     if(name[i] === " ") {
       result.push(name.substring(lastIndex, i));
        lastIndex = i+1;
      }
    }
    result.push(name.substring(lastIndex, name.length))
    return result;
}

console.log(cutName("Amjad Ali"));

A:

function cutName(name){
  var result = "";
  for(const char of name) result += char === " " ? "," : char;
  return result;
}

console.log(cutName("Jonas W"));

You may use a for loop to iterate over every character.

Going to a wedding? You can now rent a lehenga instead of selling an arm and a leg to buy it. Flyrobe, India's largest fashion rental service, was founded in September 2015 by IIT-Bombay graduates Pranay Surana, Tushar Saxena and Shreya Mishra (who missed our age cut-off by three months). Passionate about India's sharing economy, the trio realised that fashion as a sector lent itself well to it. No better place to launch this company than a country that saves up for and loves lavish wedding days.
The Flyrobe app—plus six stores set up across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Pune since 2017—targets people who tend to buy expensive clothes for special occasions, but hardly wear them later. "Initially, we started off with western wear but later realised that ethnic wear is more in demand. We scrapped that business and started afresh," says Surana.
The founders claim to have clocked an approximate revenue of $2 million last year, which they expect will increase three-fold in 2019. Almost 65 percent of their business is generated online and rest from brick-and-mortar stores. The company has raised $11 million from Sequoia Capital, IDG Ventures, GREE Ventures, and several angel investors.

The perfume of the earth.
The exhalations of the earth, the fresh air of early morning, this is the perfume of a country gentleman, where spices mix with tobacco - so many sources of inspiration for the first perfume created by Jean-Paul Guerlain, a scent that evokes the duality of nature: harmony and disorder, freshness and warmth.
Citrus woody. Natural, sober, elegant. Spontaneous and spiked with citrus, the energy of vetiver and the intensity of spices make VETIVER a fresh woody aromatic of authentic and natural elegance.
When traveling, slipping generously perfumed cotton handkerchiefs into your luggage allows the scent to delicately permeate your clothes.
GUERLAIN Vetiver Eau de Toilette Spray is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 6.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RobG from Guerlain classic! An evocative & timeless fragrance that is perfect for autumn and winter time.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Vachss from A classic I'm quite new to vetiver frangrances but wanted to create a capsule collection of classics. The appeal to me was that this fragrance has stood the test of time. I like its fresh feel and although quite quiet the vetiver does emerge and lasts well although it is quite muted. I think that is a plus especially if worn in the daytime. An unexpected plus was that it smells equally good on my partner.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul99 from Classic, timeless, elegant masculinity A fresh lemon opening followed by the most gorgeous vetiver and tobacco middle. This dries down to a pepper and nutmeg base; lovely, lovely, lovely. This has been around for over 50 years now and has more than stood the test of time. Great longevity and above average projection, this just smells clean, fresh, spicy and timeless; love it.
Rated 4 out of 5 by ruum from Another timeless classic This scent is not to be judged purely on its scent. What do I mean? Well, you'll need to understand a bit about modern fragrance history to appreciate this one - it was grounbreaking for its time and brought a whole new dimension to scents. Guerlain wanted to capture the scent of the earth after the summer rain and was inspired by nature when he set out to create his first ever scent - Vetiver. A grass or root that grows under the ground, the scent of vetiver is spicy and of course earthy. This fragrance is all of that but cleverly wrapped up in citrus and highlighted with notes of tobacco. But this isn't a smoky scent and hence can be appreciated in the warmer months or in wet weather. It fits the inspiration behind it perfectly and is venerated by many as a true classic.


I had the good fortune to be invited to the beach for a weekend reunion with former roommates & suitemates to celebrate our milestone birthdays this year. . .
The six of us happy & lucky to have a friend/roommate with access to a beach house. . .

Happy 30th Birthday! It WAS only your 30th, right??? *wink* Whatever the year, it looks like you had a grand time celebrating it with good friends.
Your gorgeous shots remind me of Hilton Head but I see you categorized it as Pawley's Island, SC. Same area, anyway. My DD used to live on HH & we always enjoyed our visits there.
What a gorgeous place and a perfect setting for a reunion! Sounds like a great time.
Looks like you had perfect weather for this wonderful occasion. Love the shot of the bird with the fish in its mouth…great timing!
Mary, I love how you used the photos of the birds as you wrote about your classmates. You managed to convey the spirit of friends reuniting without showing a single person. You are a very talented lady!
Great photos. Love the reflection of the cottage in the puddle.
Amazing images from the beach. I liked the reflections.
It was fun though and some drove over 10 hours to get here.
I am sure you will remember the good time you had for a long time!
Travel brochure…yep…these wonderful photos should be a travel brochure…it makes me want to visit this location!!!
Lucky you, to have attended a reunion in such a beautiful setting. I'm sure there was lots off walking and talking on that beach!
a lovely photo collection; I especially liked the catch of the day; it looked so big for that water-bird.
Your photos are beautiful. And I like the photos on your sidebar and I am looking at it right now too. Happy Wednesday!
Mary, you do everything so well. I am in awe over the pic of the sea gull with the fish in its mouth! That was amazing to capture. You have such wit and write so well. Glad your reunion was fun.
Wow !your photos are awesome love the reflection shots.
Looks like you had a really good time at the reunion. Nice collage.
These are all beautiful. I especially like the reflection shot.
I love your beach pictures! Especially the one of the beach house reflected in the water. What a great place for your reunion.
What a wonderful weekend! I love the photo of the house reflected in the tide pool. It's sort of a metaphor for the whole weekend, huh?
Beautiful photos! This has to be North Carolina!
I so love the ocean….
Such a lovely place to remember the good ole days.
Wow! That must've been a wonderful trip! Seeing old friends and catching up with them AND you get such a beautiful view to wake up to in the mornings!
Wonderful images. You have quite the eye! Thanks for sharing.
What an awesome place gather! Your pictures are beautiful!
This is heaven. Sheer heaven. And good friends to share it!
Oh lucky you…what a marvelous adventure!
Livin' large, for sure. If your photos are any indication, everyone had a wonderful time!
The photos of the homes on the beach take me back to my summers at gma's house in Cape May… now I am living close to the beach but my area has new homes and hotels and it's just not the same… lovely photos!
Lucky you! Definitely the right kind of friends to have! I need to cultivate some new friendships, obviously!
Seriously, what a beautiful place for a reunion. It sounds like you had a lot of celebrating to do!
Thanks for sharing it with us for Alphabe-Thursday's letter "C".


I know it has been suggested over the years, and the answer was no...but I honestly think there is no time better than now that for Dischord to re-release the 4 old 7" and the two MT 7" on vinyl with original art work. There are no negatives in doing this.
Would love a copy of the original 7 inch with the hand cut cover. Anyone know where i can get one?
Eight songs by The Teen Idles, released in 1980.
This 7 Inch EP is out of print. However, the songs are available on the 1981: The Year In Seven Inches CD, the Four Old Seven Inches LP, and here as MP3s.

Magic, Mysticism & the Molecule
Altered States and the Search for Sentient Intelligence from Other Worlds
by Micah Hanks
Magic, Mysticism and the Molecule presents an investigative analysis of ancient magical practices, mystical states, and out of body encounters through the use of various methods of reaching altered states of consciousness. Many concepts and ideas are explored, including:
* What are the roots of the mystical experience? Is this an altered state that can be attained through meditation and other similar practices?
* Does the study of altered states of consciousness offer us new perspectives on age old phenomena reported by humans throughout history?
* Psychologist Raymond Moody, Ph.D. observed that many of his patients had experiences with what they perceived as apparitions of their deceased loved ones in reflective surfaces; what element of the human mind is the root behind such experiences?
* Are there similar states of mind that can produce experiences like sleep paralysis, out of body experiences, psychedelic visions, UFO abductions and near death experiences? Could they all be much more similar than we've previously imagined?

The Complete Guide to Maverick Podcasting
In this instructional installment from author Micah Hanks, the world of podcasting and audio journalism are explored… along with a few of the more the "unconventional" elements of what makes this medium more accessible and rewarding than ever before.
Podcasting has become a medium utilized both by major broadcasters, as well as those who seek to reach smaller audiences from the comfort of their homes. But it is also something that evades many who could be doing it, because of a few simple misconceptions: chief among them, the idea that it's just too difficult to learn how to do, or simply too expensive to put time and money behind.
Dispelling these and many other misconceptions, Hanks unravels the mystery behind "the art of the podcast," and offers a unique perspective on how the medium can be used as a promotional or monetary endeavor, even while traveling. Additionally, he explores the various methods and equipment involved, and how podcasting can be used to engage like-minded thinkers, broaden one's own horizons, help launch a new business, or even promote an existing one.
But be warned: This book is not for the average would-be audio enthusiast. However, if you're a free-thinker, and a nonconformist spirit willing to throw yourself to the lions in the quest for reaching new personal horizons, this is the book that will help you learn to use the art of podcasting to your greatest advantage.
"Micah Hanks has given us a sourcebook on podcasting that's unlike any other; lucid, inspiring, and most of all, entertaining."
George Noory, National Talk Show Host, Coast To Coast AM
"The Complete Guide to Maverick Podcasting… can walk you through the process of becoming a podcaster, and all without having to go bankrupt or insane."
–Jim Harold, The Paranormal Podcast, Jim Harold's Campfire
"This book is a million Gigabytes of information! Micah is wired and podcasting straight to your mind with warp speed. Entertaining and unconventional."
–Tom Danheiser, Senior Producer, Coast to Coast AM
The Ghost Rockets
The Ghost Rockets examines the strange history of unidentified rockets and projectiles reported throughout the last several decades, as well as investigations into a number of conspiracies that have transpired since the end of the Second World War that involve such apparent technologies. Some of these involve some curious, almost apparitional phenomena that are more closely related to secret Nazi propulsion technologies, observed over Scandinavia immediately after the war. While there is a strong UFO component to such reports, other cases discussed in the book involve passenger planes and other aircraft which may have been struck down by errant missiles, in which case cover-ups have ensued for political reasons.
However, this phenomenon is not relegated solely to the years just after WWII. In the chapter titled, "Fear and Flares over Long Island," an examination of the infamous TWA Flight 800 crash is presented; but rather than asserting that a missile took down the craft, as is alleged by many conspiracy theories proposed over the years, we look instead at separate reports of unidentified "ghost rockets" that appeared in the months and weeks leading up to the crash, as well as a few which took place shortly afterward. Why were these missile-like objects being reported by trained commercial airline pilots so close to the time of the disaster, and what was their source?
Finally, the book concludes with an examination of recent cases that have been made publicly available by NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System database, which describe numerous encounters with unidentifiable rocket-like aircraft, many of which fly dangerously close to other aircraft. An exhaustive appendix section also surveys the majority of the better-known ghost rocket reports chronologically since WWII, along with a number of less widely publicized cases as well.
Does this research indicate an unconventional history of drone technologies that have been developed since the late 1940s? Have secret weapons technologies been developed and tested in our skies, which may have led to a handful of deadly accidents? Or is there something more complex to the mystery of The Ghost Rockets?
Reynolds Mansion: An Invitation to the Past
Reynolds Mansion is among the oldest remaining antebellum homes in the Southeastern United States. Within its halls and corridors, one will find a wealth of history about the house, shared through family portraits and pictures that adorn the walls, as well as colorful antiques and the dazzling additions of its present owners. Though it serves today as a top-rated bed & breakfast, the unique southern home is also a treasure trove of mysteries for those who seek the more strange and unusual aspects our lives can offer.
Here in the historic Reynolds family home, the essences of hard-living pioneers, a controversial North Carolina Senator, as well as the nurturing presence of a young girl, long departed from this world, can all be felt by those who enter today. And here, one man's hopeful attempts at unraveling the mansion's many mysteries will reveal parts of its incredible history that have remained obscured for decades… until now. This is the story of Reynolds Mansion, and of those who live there today, carrying on the tradition of its unique heritage.

Friends and family of Joe Biden Convention: The Democratic Party takes a step Emotional
netleak
There were a dozen leading Democratic candidates spent most of bickering debates about the nuances of the different health care plans. You probably do not remember because it was centuries ago, in 2019 and early 2020 back to that distant time when Sanders and Warren appeared to setting the rhythm that Democrats plotted on an ideological axis: The question was how far to the left Democrats would go out and hard as they had to fight to get there. But Biden cinched the nomination in March and since then has worked, defined by a coalition of decency to build, not dogma. personal connection, not progressive zeal is the coin of the realm in Biden country. And now, with the Democratic National Convention in full swing, it is clear that the party is to sing a different tune: ideology into the background emotions took. Among prime-time speech to the assembly segments, the first two nights of the DNC were all about creating emotional moments that voters would reach the hearts, if they do not their opinions. Monday ', instead of articulating the policy failures that more than 170,000 deaths from COVID-19, the campaign decided to mark the story of Kristin Uzquira, whose father-supporters of President Donald Trump of the disease died. Rather than dwell on the health plan Biden, a video installation details and talk about health care activist Ady Barkan focused on heartbreak and hope, living with a terminal illness. Instead of dissecting the political differences between Biden and the end of Republican Senator John McCain, his rival in the 2008 campaign, a video with the help of the McCain family made concentrated on his decades of friendship across the aisle. A sense that matters in Washington. Subscribe to daily direct current, short newsletter. On Tuesday, Biden by Jacquelyn, a security guard in the New York Times was officially named buildings that Biden had recently befriended on his way with publishers for his interview in the elevator that does not approve it. "In the short time I spent with Joe Biden, I could tell where I was actually, which makes the fact that my means of life something to him. And I knew that even if he went to his important meeting would take my history with him, "said Jacquelyn which sank last name publicly. "Therefore, I have my friend nominate Joe Biden as the next president of the end of the night in the United States, the message was clear: Joe Biden is not about politics or policies or plans, Joe Biden is about people. Who gives care if geeks snubbed at the New York Times Biden for their approval; usually people take the elevator in the editorial meeting he loved him. If you are an alien from another planet who had never heard of the Vice President, comes with a simple message: President Trump is a danger to democracy, and Joe Biden seems like a nice guy enough. This is to Biden and his allies, it is the point. "Thanks to express DNC for the transport of what I have fought from April 25, 2019, "a tweet granddaughter Naomi Biden Biden on Tuesday night." that's not the age, experience, beliefs, past the ability to listen, to be convinced readiness and develop the will that a leader progressive and does King a president for the people ". Of course there were exceptions. Senator Bernie Sanders speech on Monday evening and Rep. Speech Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez favoring the appointment Tuesday evening Sanders common gauze places to backtrack. $15 minimum 12 weeks of paid leave for family reasons, universal pre-K for 3 and less than 4 years of age, the transition to 100% clean energy in fifteen years: In his speech, Sanders focused on that Biden policies would implement management Medicare eligibility 60. in his short speech, seemed to mention a lot more numbers than almost any other speaker. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez posted Sanders nomination, which means "movement, wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny and homophobia to detect and repair braces and to propose and build systems immigration and foreign policy, which is move away from violence and xenophobia reimagined of our past. "No one before their policy to deal with would be surprised to hear specific conversation or systemic injustice Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez heard. But there was an agreement that was mostly about stories or tearful sadness of being friends, their speech felt like a drum Electric Mixer for a Kumbaya circle to bring. But doubling down on emotions down is the strategy, not only primary in 2020 but has worked for his entire political career to Biden: make people feel good, make you feel seen and heard and understood, and follow the rest , people come first, they are the second policy. Most ordinary Americans, white Biden, not sitting at home calculating how much their premiums would be different health care plans to go below. Activists and Twitterati are driven by ideology-American voters react to emotions. And the speech of Dr. Jill Biden at the end of Tuesday evening provided much of it. Perhaps more than any other of the Convention so far, said Dr. Biden's speech, the central division of the Biden campaign: who can heal the nation through love and perseverance, and that the policy is only part of this greater emotional mission. "How can you make a broken family altogether? In the same way you" to make a nation of all, the former Second Lady said. "With love and understanding and with small acts of kindness. With courage. Steadfastness in faith." "We have shown that the heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage," he said. "This is the soul of America Joe Biden is now fighting."

Second advantage is it is now more easy to view live social updates on this edge of the phone. Third exciting thing about this device is that you have now more easy and effective control on your device with additional buttons right below your thumb. You can also use this edge for move from one app into another as it makes multitasking more facilitated.
While using camera or video recorder, it put all the relative controls on curved side to free more space as viewfinder. It has 16MP OIS camera.
It can also b called a true phablet by dint of its large screen and a functional stylus is also reside inside its body to assist you anywhere.

Stitt Gives COVID-19 Update
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt held a press conference Wednesday afternoon giving an update on the progress the state is making in defeating the coronavirus.
Stitt said the curve is beginning to flatten in Oklahoma and he is proud of the way Oklahomans have responded to this difficult challenge. Stitt added that he is working on plans to re-open the state, but to do that residents need to continue washing their hands, practicing social distancing and limiting their trips to the store. Stitt said he will make the decision on when it is best to re-open the state based on advice from state health officials and scientific data.
In the address, Stitt announced that he was extending the safer at home order for those over the age of 65 and for anyone with underlying conditions to May 6th. Stitt also announced that elective surgeries can resume as scheduled next Friday. Stitt added that his taskforce his working to find a way to begin opening restaurants and other non-essential businesses in a safe manner.
Stitt stressed that it is important for employees who work from home, they should continue to do so. The state of Oklahoma now has 80 testing sites available.


5 Tips for grilling the perfect steak – Grill It Right!
Want to know the secret to grilling one perfect steak after another?
1. You deserve the best so be picky!
…or a steak that's fresh, has nice marbling to keep it juicy, and just enough edge fat to impart a dose of rich, savory flavor?
Serious grillers are always choosy when buying their steaks – it very little time or effort to inspect a few different cuts of meat and you'll be rewarded ten-fold.
♦ And last but not least, make sure they're cut to the right thickness.
Although it isn't difficult, pairing the right type of steak with the right recipe and grilling method is one of the first steps in becoming a master griller.
Not every steak is created equal. Some have the perfect amount of marbling for delivering one savory, succulent mouthful after another when seared over high heat then finished over medium… some are so thin that anything more than a quick, two minute sear will turn them into dry, rubbery chew toys… and others are so lean and tough that nothing less than a long, slow, gentle braise is capable of unlocking the tenderness and flavor hidden within them.
For rib eyes, strip steaks, porterhouses, or t-bones your best bet is go with a simple recipe that doesn't involve much more than basic seasonings and two-temperature grilling (more on this in a moment…). The natural marbling and tenderness of these cuts bring just the right amount of juiciness and flavoring to the party all by themselves.
…or, to add an extra special touch, top off the salt and pepper with some sauteed mushrooms and onions, a little olive oil and rosemary, or a bit crumpled blue cheese.
The same holds true for filet mignon, with one slight exceptions: the addition of fat or a marinade. The tenderloin is a very lean, mild muscle. So in this case a mild marinade would help provide more flavor and help to keep it from drying out should you happen to overcook it. Another popular option is add some fat – e.g. flavor and moisture – by wrapping a piece of bacon around it.
Flank steaks and strip steaks LOVE marinades.
The most popular method of grilling a steak – and the one preferred here at AtG – is the two-temperature sear-and-finish method.
Put simply, you sear the meat over high heat (450-650° F) for 1-2 minutes on each side then move it to medium heat (325-350° F) until it reaches your desired doness – e.g. about another 4-7 minutes for medium with a 1″ thich steak.
A word of caution: what most cookbooks and websites fail to point out is that this works best with steaks that one inch or thicker. Anything thinner will cook so quick that you're better off leaving your steak over high heat until it reaches your desired doneness.
To see the two-temperature method explained in five easy steps check out How to Grill Steak. And to get ball-park grilling times for different types of steaks as well as different thickness, take a look at How Long Do You Grill Steaks.
Yes, I know you put a lot of effort into grilling that steak… But the steak worked hard too so give it a rest!
As a steak is grilled, the high heat of the fire pushes its juices further in toward the center. By letting the steak rest on the plate for 5-10 minutes (a piece of foil can be loosely draped over it to keep them warm), the juices will have a chance to redistribute themselves throughout the steak. This will ensure each and every bite you take is dripping with goodness instead of just those few that came from the center.
This is it – the final trick that separates the amateurs from the pros: knowing when to carve your steak London Broil style.
With porterhouses or other thick, supersized steaks you'll want to take the extra step of cutting out individual servings, dropping them onto plates, and letting everyone dig in.
When you're serving cuts like these – which are naturally tough – the last thing you want to do is cut the meat by holding your knife perpendicular to the cutting board.
Instead, hold the knife at an angle of 45 degrees or less to the cutting board while making your slices. This helps causes the long, tough muscle fibers to be cut into small cross sections that are very loosely held together and easily fall apart when chewed.
In other words, you'll have quickly and skillfully transformed a tough piece of meat into beautiful,broad slices of steak that are charred on the outside… luscious, juicy pink on the inside… look totally irresistible on your plate… and nothing short of tender and divine when you bite into them.
And there you have it – the key to serving up a steak that'll have the entire neighborhood drooling uncontrollably.

Stay Mad
July 9, 2017 July 10, 2017 Chelsea Harper
I am so mad about Twin Peaks: The Return, episode 8. It's an hour of my life that I'll never get back. After minute 2 of watching as the camera zoomed into an explosion, I turned to Twitter to amuse myself, but my husband freaked out so I was banned from my phone. For an hour. It was a struggle to stay awake. In fact, the second the credits started rolling, I walked out of the room without a word and went to bed, even though it was still pretty early.
Art-house cinema has its place. People are free to make whatever movies they want, as long as they're not hurting children or animals. But it doesn't belong on Showtime, plopped in the middle of an ongoing series, disrupting plot and punishing its audience. No matter what this fawning article has to say about it. Even the New York Times is against me.
I know David Lynch doesn't give a fuck. It's an admirable quality most of the time, because it allowed the original Twin Peaks to change the landscape of television forever. But this act of not-giving-a-fuck was aggressive. Thus far, the new series has been difficult to swallow—some moments have been undeniably incredible, but others have felt like dead-end tangents. Despite assurances from the cast that eventually, all of this will make sense, I have my sincere doubts that an hour detour into 1945 New Mexico is relevant to the goings-on of Twin Peaks, Washington's residents. Enough with the fan theories. Bob's origin story! Who's the girl who swallowed the gross bug?
I'm glad that the new series is not a rehashing of the old. I'm glad that, so far, we've only had to see James for about ten seconds, in a scene that, like the entirety of episode 8, seems to have little to no bearing on anything else going on in the series. But episode 8 was condescending. The subtext of episode 8 was, "You are all mindless idiots who don't know how to meaningfully consume texts, so I'm going to force you to stare at nothingness for an hour and be present with it."
As someone working on her 2nd degree in literature, I'm far from an expert, but I'd say I'm pretty good at sussing out meaning in the media I consume. For instance, Master of None season 2 is undeniably influenced by art-house, and it is thoroughly enjoyable. There's a 3 or so minute sequence when the camera rests on Aziz's face in the back of an Uber—the subtle physical acting he does takes the audience on an emotional journey. The guy barely moves for 3 minutes, which in TV land is a painfully long time to linger on one shot, but it's never boring.
Plot is secondary to any great work, but it is an important component of a television series. Even shows like Seinfeld, that were ostensibly about "nothing," were still plotted episodically. I had faith that watching Coop navigate a purple planet for an excruciating 20 minutes would be relevant to the overall story. I had faith that two young people getting brutally murdered while watching a giant glass box would eventually make sense. But episode 8 was so remote from Twin Peaks that I genuinely don't care if it makes sense with the rest of the story. For Lynch to justify this capsule episode in the larger context of Twin Peaks: The Return will be such an unnecessary stretch that it might damage the integrity of the series as a whole. There are other stories to be told.
In eight hours of this new series, we've heard Audrey Horne's name once, watched the insufferable Dougie wander around Vegas for innumerable minutes, and had to roll our eyes through the worst plot device of all time, which is the new Sheriff Truman talking to the absent Sheriff Truman in one-sided telephone calls. (Michael Ontkean chose not to return for the series—why not just say he retired, died, or better yet, not address it at all and just have a new sheriff?) We've also gained some wonderful characters (Naomi Watts and Laura Dern are sensational, and Michael Cera provides, in my opinion, one of the best comic performances of all time) and followed the story along some interesting detours.
I was on board through episode 7, because I truly felt like the creator of the ingenious original series wanted to provide us with a new piece of art that didn't rely on nostalgia, something that challenged us to make connections. Episode 8 was a giant middle finger to everyone who gives a shit about Twin Peaks. It was the work of someone who seems to have contempt for his audience. I'm going to keep watching, because now I feel I've made an immense investment in the series and it seems wasteful to abandon it now. But I'm approaching tonight's episode with a healthy dose of skepticism.
It is my great hope that, at the end of the new series, this take will be proven sorely wrong. I hope to look back on this in a few months and laugh at my own ignorance. But I'm not holding my breath.
P.S. "The" Nine Inch Nails performance was very cool, although the placement in the episode was terrible.
Edit: I have read a recap of episode 9, and it looks like it's going to be absolutely incredible. I'm looking forward to watching, I just hate that I have to look up recaps in advance now to make sure I won't be subjected to visual torture.

THE PASSION OF A FAMILY, THE MISSION OF A COMPANY
Lanificio Luigi Colombo is the world's largest producer of cashmere and noble fibres fabrics.
Transforming cashmere, kid cashmere, yangir, kid wool, guanaco, vicuña and camelhair in products expressing the family's passion for noble fibres.
Interpreting the spirit of our times through the culture of quality.
"There are words that are used day after day so excessively and often without thought that their true meaning becomes diluted. Words such as luxury and quality are often accompanied by adjectives that end up giving a completely different meaning. For example accessible luxury is used to ennoble products that are simply well-manufactured. In order to recover this sense of expression that should be handled with care, it is enough to meet the Colombo family. An ideal of perfection requires a strong will. It is the subtle balance arising from contrasts – speed/slowness, modernity/tradition – the mark of this special style that turns the luxury of cashmere, guanaco and vicuña into an experience of personal pleasure, without a hint of ostentation. These processes could be described as "moral" because Colombo adheres to the most ethical principles with respect for both nature and man. Above all, this means maintaining the principle of respect and the code of conduct that Luigi left as his legacy for future generations. It was 1938 and Luigi was eleven years old when his father Roberto, seriously ill, gave him this moral will that the grandsons still follow. Also this happens in a land of Calvinist strictness, where work is the value that affects life and behaviour and where people put their heart in their job."
Giusy Ferrè
Lanificio Luigi Colombo was named after its founder. A highly charismatic artist and explorer, from the very beginning he focused his attention on the niche sector of precious fibres.
The 1970's brought the second generation into the company. Having laid the foundations of a solid entrepreneurial capacity, the generational shift was the turning point towards the company's success at international level.
Important and continuous investments in technology and R&D, in support of a labour force rich in precious craftsmanship, have been the guidelines of the company's development.
ETHICAL CODES
Lanificio Colombo, always attentive to comply with ethical codes in order to protect the environment, the animals and the native populations, pursues its eco-friendly business growth strategy. New important goals have already been achieved by completing the "BE GREEN" sustainability project.
The moral will that Luigi Colombo, founder of the company, has handed down to his son Roberto is still valid today, respecting the teachings of those who preceded us in order to pass them on to the future generations.
FROM MATERIALS TO SHAPES
The whole production is carried out in the two Italian historic plants, Borgosesia and Ghemme: from the exacting selection of fibres to their transformation into yarns, then fabric and further manufacture into garments. The verticalization of the processes is the characteristic of the production chain to ensure the highest quality. For the fabric production alone, there are 94 production cycles with 18 intermediate controls. Through this mission Lanificio Colombo has become a protagonist in the world panorama of noble fibres products. The company is proud to list among its clients the most prestigious names of the international fashion world.
In 1995, Lanificio Luigi Colombo SPA was awarded by the European Union as the company that had grown the most in the previous five years and for the average age, the lowest in Europe. Lanificio Luigi Colombo was included as the only textile business in the Europe 500.
In 1997, Roberto was awarded "The Best European Entrepreneur of Medium-Sized Enterprises" as a result of the growth and of the work carried out by all the employees.
In 1999 Roberto Colombo received the "Entrepreneur of the Year" award in the Research and Development category.
In 2012 in Shanghai, on occasion of Messe Frankfurt, the organizational authority of Intertextile exhibition, awarded a special prize to Lanificio Luigi Colombo having been one of the pioneers of the event.
In 2013, the Jury of Première Vision Awards, selected one fabric made by Lanificio Colombo as "the best and most innovative in the world".
In 2016, Roberto Colombo was honoured with the prestigious title of Cavaliere del Lavoro by the President of the Italian Republic.
In 2019, Lanificio Colombo was the winner of the prestigious Gran Jury Prize at the Premiere Vision Awards. The winning fabric was rated the most innovative, with the highest technological content enhancing the characteristics of modernity and absolute luxury.
VALUES BECOME CULTURE AND CULTURE BECOMES QUALITY
The true values, deeply rooted and passed on, are the foundations of the Colombo culture.
A knowledge that becomes inimitable expertise, a way of living that goes beyond business and goes back again to reveal the Colombo values.
The testimony of people who love noble fibres. Their passion, their lifestyle. Values become culture and culture becomes quality.

Will Richard Branson actually reach space on Virgin Galactic's 1st fully crewed launch?
By Mike Wall
Where does outer space begin? People are still arguing about it as Virgin Galactic plans to launch July 11.
Virgin Galactic founder Sir Richard Branson (third from right) will launch on the company's first fully crewed flight on July 11, 2021 as part of a six-person crew. They are (from left): Pilot Dave Mackay; Coplin Bennet, lead operations engineer; Beth Moses, chief astronaut instructor; Branson; Sirisha Bandla, vice president of government affairs and research operations; and pilot Michael Masucci.

As the commercial race to suborbital space has heated up in the past few years, a tricky question has popped up again and again: Where does outer space begin?
This is not just a philosophical debate. It has real-world financial implications, because one space tourism company is selling seats on missions that may not reach the final frontier, depending on where you think the boundary lies.
That company is Virgin Galactic, which is set to launch Virgin Group founder Richard Branson and several other folks on a landmark test mission this Sunday (July 11) aboard the company's VSS Unity space plane. Unity has reached suborbital space three times to date, most recently during a piloted test flight on May 22 — or has it?
Related: How Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo works (infographic)
Unity's three spaceflights reached maximum altitudes of 51.4 miles, 55.9 miles and 55.4 miles (82.7, 89.9 and 89.2 kilometers, respectively). That's high enough for those on board to earn their astronaut wings by the standards of NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the U.S. military, which regard outer space to begin 50 miles (80 km) above Earth's surface.
But it's below another widely recognized boundary — the Kármán line, which is generally interpreted to lie at an altitude of 62 miles (100 km). And Virgin Galactic's chief competitor in the suborbital tourism market, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, has called attention to this fact, noting that its own New Shepard vehicle gets well above the Kármán line.
Consider the statement that Blue Origin CEO Bob Smith emailed to The New York Times, which ran it in a July 1 story about Branson's upcoming flight: "We wish him a great and safe flight, but they're not flying above the Kármán line, and it's a very different experience."
There's some backstory to that statement. Blue Origin is gearing up for its own high-profile mission this month as well — the first crewed New Shepard flight, which will carry Bezos, his brother Mark, pioneering aviator Wally Funk and the person who paid $28 million for a seat via auction. (Blue Origin has not yet identified the auction winner.)
That New Shepard mission is scheduled to launch on July 20, the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Blue Origin announced that target date in early May, nearly two months before Virgin Galactic unveiled its Branson-launching plans. (That big reveal came July 1).
Virgin Galactic and Branson deny that they're trying to upstage Blue Origin, saying that Unity will fly on July 11 simply because it's ready to do so.
During an interview with National Public Radio (NPR) that aired Wednesday (July 7), Branson addressed Smith's Kármán line remark, pointing out that NASA and the FAA recognize the 50-mile boundary.
In addition, "the actual difference in experience is going to be almost non-existent," Branson told NPR's Leila Fadel (opens in new tab) , noting that passengers will get roughly equal amounts of weightless time on Unity and New Shepard. Virgin Galactic has promised about 4 minutes of weightlessness on its flights.
The 50-mile line has other backers as well, including Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist and satellite tracker based at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, who made the case for its adoption in a 2018 paper (opens in new tab).
In the middle of the last century, Hungarian-American physicist Theodore von Kármán proposed that space begins where the forces of orbital dynamics exceed those of aerodynamics. Placing that line at 100 kilometers came more or less via "a rough order-of-magnitude argument," McDowell wrote in the 2018 study. (After all, 100 km is much closer to the mark than 10 km or 1,000 km.)
But the actual boundary, by von Kármán's original definition, lies between 70 km and 90 km (43 to 56 miles), McDowell calculated. So, 80 km (50 miles) is a good approximation of this nebulous marker, especially considering that it represents a sort of point of no return for satellites. Spacecraft whose elliptical orbits take them lower than 80 km do not survive more than one additional loop around our planet, McDowell noted (opens in new tab), whereas craft that stay just a few kilometers higher can remain aloft for days or weeks.
McDowell's voice is influential among researchers and laypeople alike, and NASA, the FAA and the U.S. military are already on board. So are we on the way to a universal acceptance of 50 miles as the point where space begins? Or will the debate continue for years, with the two sides becoming ever more entrenched? Either way, it'll be an interesting ride.

Lyell and the Spanish Geology
dc.creator Virgili, Carmina
dc.identifier Geologica acta: an international earth science journal, Vol. 5, Nº. 1, 2007 , pags. 119-126
dc.description Lyell visited Spain in the summer of 1830, after the publication of the first volume of Principles of Geology, and in the winter of 1853 coming back from his third trip to America. In his first stay he visited, among others, the Olot region (Catalonia, NE Spain) and in the second the Canary Islands. In both cases his major aim was to study these volcanic zones since volcanism constituted for Lyell the clearest evidence of the Earth interior energy, which had led to mountain building in the past. Another of his aims during his 1830 visit was to study the Pyrenees. Lyell endeavoured to show that this orogen did not result from a violent and rapid revolution, as proposed by Elie de Beaumont, but from processes that spanned long time periods. In the Pyrenees he also made some observations on the neogene lacustrine deposits of la Cerdanya basin, while in the southern Pyrenean foreland (i.e. Ebro basin) he paid attention to facies changes and correlations in the Eocene sequences. Lyell spent some days in Barcelona during this visit but at that time the country was in political turmoil and the main scientific institutions of the city had been closed down. Once in the Olot region, Lyell paid a visit to Bolós, pharmacist and botanist who had an interest in geology and introduced him in the volcanic zone. During his second trip in 1853, Lyell visited the Canaries and limited his personal contacts to Pedro Maffiote, professor of the Nautical School of Tenerife, who had made some interesting although never published geological observations in this island. In the Canary Islands Lyell sought to demonstrate the relationship between volcanism and coastal movement, and to confirm his theory of volcanic cone growth by accretion. Lyell¿s influence in Spain was not due to his personal contacts in the country but to his books and especially the translation into Spanish by Ezquerra del Bayo of the first edition of ¿Elements of Geology¿ in 1838. Lyell¿s ideas and especially his geological terminology, which was one of his most important contributions, spread in Spain thanks to this translation. Both the personality and the scientific reputation of Ezquerra del Bayo helped to promote the book that became for many years the official teaching book at the Schools of Mines in Spain and Mexico. Ezquerra del Bayo carried out the first geological map of the whole of Spain (1850) adopting in this and other publications (1850-1857) Lyell¿s nomenclature, although his theoretical concepts (e.g. actualism) did not exert the same influence. It should be borne in mind that Lyell regarded his Elements of Geology as a descriptive Geology, a text book for students and beginners. His more elaborated theories included in Principles of Geology resulted in little influence in Spain, since this book was not translated into Spanish.

on Żelazna street in Warszawa there is a place called Royal Stone with everything that might be useful for jewelry making. I'm lost now and desperately want to try (yep, me thinks me crazy ;-)).
Smallest forms. With silver coated pins.


This Need a Magic Hand trick requires you to acquire a small toy doll which you will eventually destroy. It shouldn't be too much trouble to locate one of these.
If you are stuck for places to look, start by looking in your toy box or you can go to your local charity shop and you should be able to find a doll there. If all else fails, you can always do a quick Google search and you will be able to find one there.
For this "Need a Hand?" trick you will need to be able to force a card. The one I used was the Hindu Force. Then you need to remove the arm off the doll. The doll will need to have hollow arms that you can fit your pinky into. If the arm is too big, you can always put your own padding into the arm to make it fit better on your pinky.
If you are confused on how to intertwine your fingers in order to present the small hand, I explain how to do this in the video. This gives the illusion your hands are fully closed. Of course, one of the fingers wouldn't be visible if you were to look closely but from experience, this rarely happens.
Once the chosen card has been revealed, make your doll hand fall back behind the cover of your clasped hands. You can avoid people inquiring about the hand by saying that no one can look at the hand or the magic will cease to exist. Be sure to have another magic trick prepared and ready to go so people can't follow up on the whereabouts of the hand.
If you have the time, be sure to have a look at Micheal Ammar's trick called "The Little Hand". The trick involves a custom made prop that Micheal uses to make the hand steal a coin. His trick is far better than this trick and the handling of the prop is amazing. Michael Ammar is truly a master at his craft.

Thanks Julian, I will try this one for the school children at work, kind regards, Steve.
Great trick. I look forward to performing it to see what the reaction is. Instead of glue or tape, I cut a small slit between the thumb and forefinger of the doll's hand just wide enough to partially insert the card. It holds great Thanks for sharing – I love your site!!
My comment should have said "between the thumb and POINTER finger" – thanks.


you inexplicably feel bound to each and every other person who does the same. The chain runs North and South, East and West. It spans ages and breaks class boundaries.
The National Park Service holds the ultimate legal responsibility for the A.T. and the ATC acts as its primary advocate to the public and government. However, much of the physical work involved in keeping the trail alive is done by an army of willing volunteers. There are currently 30 official maintaining clubs affiliated with the ATC, each with it's own specific stretch of trail to care for. Maintenance sections can be as small as the Wilmington Trail Club's 7.2 miles or as large as the Maine Appalachian Trail Club's 267 miles. The ATC works with these clubs to help coordinate volunteer efforts where they're needed most. Clubs do everything from maintaining existing trails and painting blazes to excavating trail reroutes and building new shelters. The trail got its beginnings thanks to the volunteer efforts of men like MacKaye and Avery and its continued existence relies on people like you and I taking time out of our day to give back to the trail. To learn more about how you can become an A.T. volunteer visit the ATC's volunteer page here.
Like much of the A.T., shelters are built and maintained by local volunteer trail clubs. Shelters vary in size with some holding as few as 5 hikers and others as many as 20. However, shelters operate on a first-come-first-serve basis and are open to all A.T. travelers, not just thru-hikers. That means if a shelter is full by the time you arrive you'll need to either pitch your own tent or hike on to the next available campsite.
Additional amenities at shelter sites vary as well. Some may be equipped with an adjoining picnic table, established fire pits, bear-bagging systems, and privies. Also many, but not all, shelter sites are equipped with additional space for tent camping should the shelter itself already be full for the night. However, shelter life doesn't come without its issues, so here are some things all hikers should consider before taking up shelter space.
There is a proper social etiquette involved when accepting space in a shelter. If you're not willing to adhere then you probably should just pitch your own tent.
Shelters' convenient locations along the trail coupled with their many backwoods "luxuries" make them popular stops for A.T. hikers. Many thru-hikers utilize them as checkpoints for lunch breaks or for ending a day's hike. As a result they tend to become social hubs for hikers, particularly if you are traveling a typical northbound hike. This makes shelter sites a great opportunity to meet and engage with other hikers.
Apart from designated sites there are areas along the trail where hikers are allowed to choose their own campsites. This practice is known as "dispersed camping." While the term essentially describes the practice of setting up camp wherever a hiker wants, hikers will often find popular "established" dispersed camping sites that have been regularly used by hikers in the past. Popular dispersed campsites are often marked in A.T. guide books. If at all possible it is desired for hikers to reuse existing campsites as opposed to clearing new ground to establish a new sites.
The AMC operates 8 huts along the A.T. through the White Mountains. These huts do not operate like conventional shelters. These huts are staffed by AMC crew members who provide lodging, home-cooked meals, and educational programs for paying guests. For thru-hikers to earn a place at one of these huts requires either a reservation with a substantial fee or a work-for-stay agreement with the hut's crew. Given the fluctuating nature of a thru-hike it is highly unlikely a thru-hiker will be successful making and keeping an advance reservation (much less want to pay for it). Rather most thru-hikers will rely on the work-for-stay option, but this is by no means a guarantee either. Work-for-stays are first-come-first-serve and are entirely up to the discretion of the operating crew. Also space available for work-for-stay hikers is very limited with each hut usually accepting only 2 – 4 hikers per night. Naturally there are some exceptions. In special circumstances a hut may welcome in more hikers, such as during bad weather. Also Lakes of the Clouds hut has a basement shelter called "The Dungeon" where hikers can pay $10 for a bunk.
Snagging a spot in a hut is one part planning and one part luck. Most huts will not start accepting work-for-stay hikers until close to 4:00PM, so you don't want to end your day at a hut too early or the hut crew may turn you away. However, you also don't want to arrive too late or other hikers may have taken all of the available spaces. So if you're plan is to end you night at an AMC hut be sure to strategically plan your arrival.
Water is the most important resource thru-hikers must learn to manage on the A.T. Usually water is easy to find on the trail. As hikers meander through the woods they'll cross numerous fresh springs, streams, ponds, rivers, and lakes from which they can draw water. It is not uncommon for hikers to pass multiple water sources in a single day. Shelters and popular campsites are also usually positioned within reach of a viable water source. Both guidebooks and some maps will mark the locations viable water sources for hikers to take advantage of.
With any open backcountry water source there is an inherent risk of contamination. The water found along the A.T. is oft not swimming with parasites, but the obvious problem with viruses and microscopic organisms is that you can't tell if they're there just by looking. When most people speak of water-borne illness on the A.T. they are likely referring to giardia: a microscopic parasite that can cause severe nausea and diarrhea among other symptoms dangerous in wilderness settings.
Water is drinkable immediately after it's filtered.
Water-borne pathogens tend to attach themselves to suspended solids and other floating particles present in the water as opposed to just swimming around freely in the liquid. As a result the less dirt and particles in your water the less likely it's going to make you sick. Granted, this is very much a "rule of thumb" estimation.
It's not easy for most people to find a spare $5,000 or put their lives on hold for six months. But whether you make $20,000 or $200,000 a year, the decision to hike the Appalachian Trail is going to require the same thing: a huge commitment.
If you want to hike the Appalachian Trail, you can't define it as a vacation. You will need to consider it a lifestyle change. This is a six-month journey; for most people, it is not a dream that can go from inception to reality in a matter of weeks or months. It will most likely take years of saving, planning, and balancing of your personal life.
For different people, each sacrifice is going to carry a different weight. People who have debts or undefined career paths might find it harder to accumulate the savings. On the other hand, people who have established careers, houses, and/or families will most likely find it hardest to get the time for a thru-hike. Whatever your responsibilities are, to plan a thru-hike requires patience – and flexibility. You will need to be able to look ahead at the next few years (or even decades) and make a plan based on where you will be with your job, how your family is going to feel, and what you can save in that time period. But, you will also need to be able to throw that plan away and jump at the opportunity to hike if it appears in the form of an unexpected lay-off or your high schooler suddenly suggesting that you hike together.
When preparing to work out the logistics of your trip you're going to have to be prepared to study. Research, research, and then research some more. Study your guide book, read articles, examine blogs of former hikers. The more information you can absorb the better. Naturally you don't have to become an encyclopedia of all things A.T., but do enough research to become familiar with the place you're going to be calling home for the better part of a year.
If you know you don't have a strict schedule then you may be able to more freely choose how you wish to experience the trail. However, a set deadline may limit your options. For example, if you are in school until late May then a Northbound thru-hike may be hard to manage as you won't be able to start until too late in the season. Regardless, knowing your time frame makes the next question that much easier to answer.
What seasons you'll hike through.
Number of other thru-hikers you'll encounter.
Having the answers to these two questions will provide the foundation for any and all of your future pre-hike planning. The rest is up to you. It's your hike after all. Make it your own. Coming up with a hiking schedule is now just a matter of taking out your guidebook/maps and crunching the numbers.
Still, use the term "schedule" loosely. While having a schedule of sorts for your hike can be helpful in regards to planning mail drops and managing a stricter timeline it is not realistic to think that once you're actually out hiking on the trail that you will be able to completely stick to your pre-made itinerary. Most people report their itineraries going out the window within the first few days on trail. Over 4 – 6 months it is impossible to predict all of the unexpected surprises that could cause you to have to alter your schedule. Hiking the A.T. often necessitates an air of flexibility to adapt to unanticipated circumstances. So if at all possible it's a good idea to leave yourself some wiggle room, if you even feel the need to build an itinerary at all.
The best way to get in shape for backpacking is to go backpacking! Take yourself on as many shakedown trips as you have time for. It doesn't matter if they're day-hikes, overnighters, or longer. Just get yourself out climbing mountains with your gear. These hike will help you to start identifying your physical limitations, test your gear, and gain you other valuable on-trail experience.
Figuring out gear for your thru-hike is one of the most fun—and time-consuming—aspects of your preparations. The options are infinite and the choices can be overwhelming to those unfamiliar with long-distance backpacking. The best thing you can do is research. Read articles. Talk to former and future hikers. Visit outfitters and ask questions. Here are some links to get you started.
Mail drops require a lot of logistical preparation. Naturally, the more mail drops desired the more complex the logistics. Because post office's will only hold packages for a limited amount of time hikers often must coordinate with family or friends back home to ship the boxes for them within the desired timeframe. Fortunately many outfitters and hostels along the A.T. offer to hold mail drops for hikers as well and will usually hold them for longer periods than the post office. These options are often better choices than the post-office itself as it also frees the hiker from the strict operation hours of the US Postal Service.
It isn't wise to use mail drops to supply yourself with items that would be easily acquired from shops in trail towns. Mail drops are most appropriately used to help you resupply with items that are not easily accessible from the trail, such as prescription medicines, unique dietary needs, or just a special treat to lift your spirits.
Failing any other options many thru-hikers commonly resort to hitchhiking. However, this comes with a few considerations worth noting. First and foremost the act of hitchhiking is technically illegal in some form or another in all 14 states that A.T. passes through. More specifically TN, PA, & ME all have out-right bans on all forms of hitchhiking. Massachusetts only specifically bans the practice on turnpikes or highways. The remaining 10 states ban that act of soliciting a ride on/in a roadway implying securing rides from gas stations, parking lots, etc. is permitted. In many cases the actual laws for hitchhiking are vague and open to interpretation. For example, there is a lot of written language about not standing "in" the road to hitch but whether this also implies the side or shoulder of the road isn't necessarily clear. In any case in most states along the A.T. the enforcement of hitchhiking laws are pretty relaxed. As long as you are not obstructing the flow of traffic, safely on the shoulder of the road, and an officer isn't having a particularly bad day hikers can usually stick out their thumb with little fear of reprisal. However, some states have garnered a reputation for stricter enforcement than others, New York and New Jersey in particular.
Beyond the fear of legal issues there is an obvious level of risk with accepting rides from strangers. Most drivers near towns around the trail who would stop do so because they are accustomed to the sight of hikers near A.T. intersections. Many are former/future hikers themselves looking to help out fellow A.T. adventurers. Still, never feel like you have to get into a car with someone just because they are the first to stop. If you ever feel uncomfortable getting in a car with someone then don't! Plain and simple!
In the broadest and most self-explanatory sense an outfitter describes any business capable of "outfitting" hikers with the gear they need to get out on the trail. Outfitters allow hikers to acquire, repair, or replace various items such as backpacks, bags, clothes, stoves, boots, hiker food, fuel, and everything else in between. Some outfitters may even offer additional services to thru-hikers including shuttles and accepting mail drops. There are a great number of outfitters accessible to hikers along the trail, most of which are strategically stationed in trail towns. However, every town along the trail does not house an outfitter. So be sure to take advantage of outfitters when you have the chance. Hiker's equipped with a proper guidebook will find information for many of the outfitters within reach of the A.T. Generally speaking the highest concentration of outfitters found near the A.T. is located in the southern half of the trail. Nearby outfitters become more scarce in the Mid-Atlantic region and once again become more frequent in New England.
If you ever find yourself encountering someone on the trail you do not feel comfortable with, there are steps you can take to distance yourself from that person. If the person in question is a townie or stranger on the side of the road, you can just move on down the trail to leave them behind. If another hiker is making you uncomfortable, consider altering your hiking pace to increase the distance between you. Failing that, try spending time in town and hope they move on. Sometimes skipping some distance up the trail is even the safest course. It may complicate the logistics of your hike, but safety is always more important. There is also safety in numbers—find a friendly group of hikers to always have a few buddies nearby.
The Appalachian Trail is a community which serves an important role of support. For any hiker, male or female, you are safer trusting in each other's best intentions rather than being divided by fear.
Dehydration can be a serious problem for thru-hikers. Due to the intense physical activity, thru-hikers often suffer from chronic dehydration. It's hard to drink enough water to be properly hydrated, but if not properly managed more serious issues can arise. Intensive physical activity in warmer temperatures can increase the rate of dehydration—think about how much you're sweating! However, this thought process can unfortunately lead to the misconception that cooler temperatures mean less risk of dehydration. If you feel thirsty, it means you're already dehydrated, so drink throughout the day and whenever you stop to ensure you don't reach that point. Intake of salt and other electrolytes can also help alleviate dehydration as they allow the body to more efficiently absorb water.
