From Scholar Orientation to the Udall Alumni Association to the Stewart L. Udall Parks in Focus program, there are
many ways for scholars and alumni to stay connected to each other and the Udall Foundation.
Scholar Orientation
The Udall Scholar Orientation takes place each August in Tucson, Arizona and brings Udall Scholars, alumni, faculty
representatives, Udall family members, and Foundation staff together to network, share ideas, hear from distinguished
leaders, and see, first hand, what it means to be a part of the Udall legacy. Visit our
Scholar Orientation page for more information,
and ways that alumni can be involved.
Scholar and Native Network Listservs
The Udall Foundation maintains two listservs: the scholar listserv is for Udall Scholar alumni and Honorable Mentions;
the Native network listserv is for American Indian alumni of the Foundation's scholarship and internship programs. Alumni
use the listservs to share employment, internship, and scholarship opportunities in the areas of the environment, health
care, and Native American public policy; arrange regional alumni get-togethers; and discuss "best practices" for the
environment and tribal sovereignty. If you're an alumnus of the scholarship, internship or fellowship programs, and you'd
like to sign up for one or both listservs, contact Jane Curlin.
Udall Alumni Website
Log in to the alumni website to update your profile and browse through
updates from other alumni, our quarterly all-alumni newsletter, and photos from the internship and scholarship programs
(2004-present). Forgot your password? Contact Jane Curlin.
Udall Alumni Association
All alumni of the scholarship, internship and fellowship programs are members of the Udall Alumni Association (UAA). The
UAA sponsors biennial alumni reunions, regional networking, such as get-togethers and potlucks in cities and countries
around the world, and brown-bag discussions and webinars. If you'd like to be involved with the UAA, email
firstname.lastname@example.com. To stay up-to-date on alumni events and network with
other Udall alumni, connect with the UAA through
and Twitter.
Parks in Focus
The Stewart L. Udall Parks in Focus program connects youth from underserved
communities to nature through photography. Our staff work with youth organizations to provide
middle-school youth with outdoor adventures, photography lessons, and environmental education through field trips to
local natural areas, and on excursions to state and national parks.
Support Parks in Focus by sharing our stories on
Facebook and
Twitter; comment on our
blog; or volunteer for one of our current program locations:
Tucson, Arizona; San Francisco, California; Missoula, Montana; Newago and Flint, Michigan.

IMPORTANT: This is a rather different version of Chapter 1!
The original was released in 2007, but this version was uploaded in 2010. It's basically a 'remake' in many ways, though the plot and events are generally the same.
Unfortunately, your saves from the old version won't work due to the drastic differences behind the scenes, but there are enough differences, I hope, to make replaying worthwhile. Any saves you make in this version can carry over to later chapters properly.
EDIT (21st of August 2010): Sorry, there'd been bugs with this version for a long time! It's because I fixed the bugs on Kongregate and updated the version there, but didn't do so here... Now I have though, so hopefully all problems will be fixed.
Oh, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you have an appropriate Flash Player version! There's a screen at the start that warns you if your version is outdated. If this screen appears *at all*, then you may (probably will) experience some bizarre saving problems. Updating your Flash Player prevents them.

I am very fair and my skin tends to be on the dry side. I get psoriasis, and roseaca and it doesn't feel comfortable. My skin cries for moisture, but its also very sensitive as to what I put on my face. I have tried to switch to natural good old home remedy skincare routines and never has my skin felt better. I use Spring Valley Vitamin E 400 IU capsules/softgels as a treatment or serum. I only need one capsule. It can be a pain to open them, but its so worth it. The only thing is that when I put it on my face, it does take a while to set. Therefore, I make sure I allow myself ample time if I have plans to go out. It calms down the redness and most importantly my skin feels so good! It is my savior when my skin starts to flare or becomes flaky. Its also a great price and I got two for one. Sometimes I also mix it in with my coconut oil and use it in place of a body lotion or in lip gloss or in scrubs among other things. There are so many thing that you could do with this. I LOVE IT!
Warning: I suggest trying only a little bit out and seeing how your skin reacts. Some people can use it and not have any problems and some can get irritation. Its like coconut oil. A lot of people swear by it and that it helps their face, but it bothers my face.
For my hair, it worked. it can keep my hair soft, detangled and moisturized.

The BEST hand cream under the sun: mix equal parts of shea butter and Vit E.
I also use pure Vit E it under my eyes, but that sometimes gives me tiny pimples around eye area, so I wasn't brave enough to put it on my face. I add it to my home made body creams as well.
I am officially a fan of plastering my face with oil before bed and waking up radiant. At first I was skeptical but after trusting the many people who had recommended it I took the plunge and boy I'm glad I did. It's a scary thing, putting oil on your face as a nighttime moisturizer but you wont regret it in the morning. I have been using just a plain vitamin E oil that I got at Walgreens and it's incredible the difference from my previous mediocre moisturizer to this. Yes, you look an oily mess when you settle down but upon waking up your skin absorbs all the oil and soaks it in, leaving your face clean and free of oil. I find that it's very soothing to my skin, it never hurts my eyes (I even massage it into my eyes and lips) and I bring it down to my neck and chest area to give them some attention I've been neglecting. I have a very dry forehead and oily cheeks and both areas really love the oil so I can recommend it to both oily skin, combo and dry.

This review is for the 70,000 IU vitamin E oil which is the very thick, clear "oil" and is the synthetic tocopherol acetate version. I've had this on hand for years and recently went back to it after some time to try and accelerate removal of some dark spots I noticed on my face. Big mistake! I've been using it liberally at night and after just a few days have found that it's given me a bumpy rash below the skin surface with crepy dry skin on top, and some crepiness around the eyes.
I'm now trying to repair the damage by using a calming Avene thermal water spray after cleansing and slapping on some healing Lancome Nutrix before bed. FIngers crossed I'll get my skin back to normal before a big wedding I'm attending in less than two weeks' time - it's undone all my successful (to now) efforts to get my skin looking its best.
This oil works better on the face if diluted with a natural oil like avocado oil, which contains a fair amount of vitamin E in its own right and will help the E oil spread more easily.; or better still, go for the less concentrated natural version. No problems with using it anywhere else on the body.
I'd buy it again, but not for using neat on the face.
Proceed with caution!

For facial skin- it clogs my pores and I suspect it gave me some under skin bumps. For the body in combination with other oils it is great. If you are not clog prone or acne prone on your face, then Vit E is great for scars. It worked on some scars on my body.
More reviews by christinamariehollis
I use vitamin e capsules. I use Nature's Bounty brand, vitamin e - 400IU. I take a capsules and puncture it with a needle and squeeze the oil out.
Vitamin E oil is amazing for healing scars. I have quite a few acne scars on my face. A few days ago I had some fresh acne marks left on my face. I'm talking bright red and some where the skin had just peeled right off; and also a few older purple ones. I started putting vitamin e oil on the fresh ones a few days ago at night time before I go to bed. They are hardly noticeable now. Some of them are gone. Some of the older marks haven't had a dramatic change, but they are definitely fading! I've only been using it for a few days. I can imagine after a few weeks that I will see a dramatic difference.
I couldn't be happier that I found a way to fade left over acne marks and scars quickly. If you apply pure vitamin e oil right after a pimple heals or on a place that you have picked; you can expect the mark/scar to be gone within a few days to a week. Meanwhile it used to take months to heal.

The natural form is the dl alpha not the d alpha. d alpha is the synthetic form of the alpha tocopherol form of vitamin E.
That said for external use the synthetic version may cause LESS reaction than the natural kind. The natural one comes from wheat germ oil so if you react badly to wheat, avoid it and if you want to try some go for the synthetic version.
I react to wheat and even the synthetic leaves my skin itchy, red, bumpy with mini hives and it stays that way for hours.
HOWEVER I can tolerate it on my nails and its the best thing ever to heal my cuticles when they separate from my nails. Its easiest if I buy the cheap synthetic in capsules and just use as needed every few months. I pierce and squeeze onto cuticles am & pm till they heal. The vitamin E stays fresh in the capsule not oxidizing at all till the next time I need it.

This is my go-to for any area of my body that is desperately dry or in need of a moisture barrier. I've used a few different generic brands from drugstores over the years because there is absolutely no point in picking up a brand name. Most often I use it on my lips which get extremely chapped and start to peel in the winter. It lasts longer than mosts balms and has an attractive gloss to it. Basically it acts like a lip gloss with benefits. I also love to smear it on my cuticles and on scars to speed up healing.

World's largest gold coin sells
A precious-metals company plunks down $4 million for the 220-pounder.
What's slightly bigger than an extra-large pizza and weighs as much as a refrigerator? The world's largest gold coin, which sold Friday in Austria.
The 2007 maple-leaf coin (pictured) weighs 220 pounds and is 21 inches in diameter. It was up for sale at the Dorotheum auction house in Vienna, reports The Associated Press.
As the gold frenzy hits a fever pitch, Spanish precious-metals company Oro Direct bid $4 million to win the coin. No word on what the company plans to do with its prize.
The coin is part of a series introduced in 2007 with a face value of 1 million Canadian dollars. The coin is 99.999% pure gold bullion and features Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the maple leaf on the other, AP reports. It took six weeks to make.
Back in 2007, the coins were selling for $2.7 million. So the value has increased 50% in three years, even though the per-ounce price of gold has doubled since then.
Post continues after video:
Obviously, this coin smashes that rule. So why would a company want it? Perhaps for promotional value, one expert said. A company could put it on display to draw attention to the more-common gold coins it sells.

Buy This Data Storage Stock, Avoid This Other
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
From supply chain disruptions to weak volume, data storage producers have taken a beating in terms of performance. Yet, strangely enough, they have actually done well in recent months for shareholders. Over the last 12 months, shareholder value has gone up 7.5% for EMC, 35% for Western Digital, and 70% for Seagate. The reason is that even bad results have been a relief against basement assumptions. But will this bull run continue? Below, I review three stocks with this question in mind.
Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX): Not "Dead in the Water" But Highly Risky
Although analysts are calling Seagate dead in the water, you can almost get the business for free at current levels. It trades at 3.5x forward earnings and has a PEG ratio of 0.29x, which indicates that future growth has come nowhere close to being factored into the stock price. Furthermore, free cash flow has risen from $1.6 billion in 1Q12 to $3.6 billion (a 35% yield) in 3Q12 on a TTM-basis. The stock has recovered 89% from its 52-week low.
There are several reasons why you should still be bearish on the stock. Performance has gotten worse with a 4% miss in 2Q12 (EPS: $2.41) and a 14.2% miss in 3Q12 (EPS: $1.45). HP's fourth quarter weakness also indicates a challenged hardware market. Operational challenges, seasonality, and large share repurchases could also force the company to cut its 4.6% dividend yield. It is particularly disappointing that earnings have been under expectations despite aggressive share repurchase programs.
During the first quarter earnings call, management cited the following as reasons for poor performance: sluggish macro growth across all major markets, weakened business spending in connection to the fiscal cliff, supply chain adjustments by PC OEMs, and poor notebook innovation. Although the company was able to successfully achieve an efficient equilibrium through shipping ~43 exabyts of storage and maintaining market share, sales volume has come below expectations. This inability to penetrate when the fundamentals are weak, even if it is during a challenging environment, makes Seagate a highly risky stock.
Avoid Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC), Buy EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC)
Western Digital's shares plummeted 8.7% after management issued poor 2Q13 guidance. Hard drive demand has been weak, and, unfortunately, there is a lack of catalysts to reverse the trajectory. In fact, Western Digital has confirmed a Citi forecast of 140 million hard drive shipments for calendar 4Q12--a report that was earlier rejected by many as "too bearish." With limited growth prospects, I recommend avoiding the stock. Standpoint Research may still rate the stock a "buy" with a $48 price target, but I encourage avoiding until greater visibility over growth opportunities is attained.
Still, there are fundamentally strong data storage companies out there. EMC trades at 12.9x forward earnings and is forecasted for 13.8% annual EPS growth over the next five years. Assuming expectations are met, 2016 EPS will come out to $2.83. At a multiple of 15x, this translates to a future stock value of $42.45. Discounting backwards by 10% yields a present value of $26.36. This is at a slight premium to the prevailing price. With almost no debt on the balance sheet and excellent cash flow, I strongly recommend an investment. The Street, including Cantor Fitzgerald, UBS, and Oppenheimer, is calling it a $30 stock or better.
EMC also generates excellent free cash flow. In the twelve trailing months ending 3Q12, $5.8 billion was generated--a dramatic improvement from only $2.1 billion in 3Q07. ROIC of 12.4% also makes the firm a value-creating business during a challenging economic period.

January 16, 2004
For the 12-month period ended in December 2003, the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 1.9 percent. In 2002 the increase was 2.4 percent.
Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U advanced 1.1 percent during the 12-month period ended in December 2003. This compares with a 1.9-percent rise in "core" CPI in all of 2002.
The principal reason for the smaller increase in core CPI in 2003 was a smaller advance in shelter costs—up 2.2 percent in 2003 compared with a 3.1-percent rise in 2002. The 2003 increase in the energy index of 6.9 percent was less than the 10.7-percent increase in 2002. The food index rose 3.6 percent in 2003 and 1.5 percent in 2002.
These data are from the BLS Consumer Price Index program. Find out more in "Consumer Price Index: December 2003" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 04-29.

On paper it would suggest that LSU should not show up for Saturday's game against Alabama. The Tide is an overwhelming pick to win the game and it has also been suggested that Texas A&M is a bigger challenge to Bama than LSU. And who would have known the Presidential race is riding on the winner of this game. Here's a taste of "What They are Saying":
From CBS Sports:
Nobody runs on Alabama. Even if LSU has modest ground success, QB Zach Mettenberger will have to make a bigger impact than he has through eight games.
From SI.com:
The Game of the Year feels ... a little anticlimactic.
From DallasNews.com:
"I'll say it right now, I think A&M is more of a threat to Alabama than LSU is," Kirk Herbstreit said. "You heard it. I think A&M is more of a threat next week to Alabama than LSU is. Even though it's Tuscaloosa and the reason I say that is because of Johnny Manziel and the style of offense they run."
From WAFB Sports:
Once again the game will come down to quarterback play. Can LSU pressure McCarron and hit him early and often and can Mettenberger handle Alabama's pressure?
From Athlon Sports:
The Tigers should have some extra momentum with this game in Baton Rouge, but can they generate enough offense to win this game?
From AL.com:
It's not the Game of the Century, but it's the Game of Survival. Do the math. Another loss and LSU is toast in the SEC West and in the national title picture.
From SB Nation:
All signs point to an Alabama win. Its offense is as good or better than LSU's defense, and its defense is much, much better than LSU's offense.
From NOLA.com:
The difference in quarterback and on the offensive lines will be the difference as the Crimson Tide takes a huge step towards a shot at second straight national crown.

Police say a man hit his wife in the head with a metal spatula during an argument on Thursday. Andre Dupre became angry with his wife, Marithis Dupre, when she brought him home from a friend's house earlier than he wanted, a police report stated. He allegedly yelled and pushed her repeatedly before swinging at her with a set of metal tongs with spatulas at the end. The spatula cut Marithis Dupre on the head, causing her to start bleeding. The police report revealed that shortly before, Andre Dupre got into a physical fight with Joe Peterson, who was visiting the couple's apartment. Peterson left and returned with police while Andre Dupre allegedly assaulted his wife. Marithis Dupre locked herself in a bathroom, but Andre Dupre kicked the door open, wrapped his arms and legs around her and wouldn't let go until he was contacted by police, the report stated. During an interview, the police report stated that Andre Dupre denied harming his wife, but admitted to getting physical with Peterson. Andre Dupre was arrested and booked into jail on charges of AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, CRIMINAL DAMAGE AND UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT.

Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships are available to qualified students and are awarded on a competitive basis. Stipends are approximately $12,000 and include a partial or full waiver of tuition. The program particularly encourages applications from minority students.
Your application is due by March 1st for full consideration for the following school year. If you want to apply after that please contact Dr. Williams, but know that there may not be money left for the upcoming year. We make assistantship offers in March.
As part of the application, we ask that you send a writing sample directly to the department head, Dr. Michael Ann Williams. This may be a statement of your interest for the program, an undergraduate paper, or a piece of professional writing.
Generally students work as research and/or teaching assistants for individual faculty members within the department. However some have assignments working for special projects or work outside the department. For example, we currently have students working as graduate assistants at the Kentucky Museum and at Mammoth Cave National Park.
Currently, the department has full tuition waivers for six graduate teaching associates in addition to the regular Department of Folk Studies graduate assistantships. There will also be a new archival assistantship due to a recently recived grant.

Pick your pulse points. The warmest bits of skin. Anywhere you can feel the blood pumping. These hot spots help diffuse and amplify the aromas, making them the perfect areas to unlock the true power of each fragrance. Make sure you apply to several areas: the base of the throat; inside wrists, elbows and knees; below the ear lobes, not behind; even the ankles for maximum longevity. Your fragrance will change throughout the day, starting with fresh top notes, moving on to complex middle notes and living on in a deep base note you'll smell the day through.

Rights Grabs
Dealing with copyright and ownership of your own work is a necessary part of a photographer's life. One of the key factors in this that you need to be aware of is the rights grab. Briefly, a rights grab implies a transfer of rights to the photo away from the photographer. If you read the terms and conditions of most competitions, social media websites and media contracts you will often find some kind of rights grab contained within.
Before we get into it, I want to remind you about Selina Maitreya's The View From Here. Selina brings 3 decades of portfolio consultancy experience and wisdom to this MP3 series that's a must-have for anyone either contemplating becoming a working photographer or professionals looking for a little extra inspiration. Normally $199, it's available at a 50% discount using the code FOSCFI.
What Is A Rights Grab?
Simply put, a rights grab is when a company attempts to require a photographer to transfer some or all rights to a photograph (or any other kind of intellectual property) to the company. This may range from the granting of all rights in totality to a company to do whatever they wish with the image, or presenting them a wide-ranging license that goes well beyond the scope of what is required. You will most often find rights grabs buried somewhere in the terms and conditions, particularly when it comes to competitions. Words and phrases to look for include "perpetual", "irrevocable", "royalty-free", "right to distribute or sublicense" and anything to do with "transfer or assign copyright".
If you're like most people, you never really read the terms and conditions of a competition or the like. Most people simply click okay to the agreement and that's that. Well, you shouldn't. If you don't want to read all of it, at least search out any of the words and phrases above and read that section. It may be under a sub-heading or clause or condition that says something like "Material You Submit", or it may be buried in the middle of a lot of other information. What follows is a fairly generic wording that appears on one particular company's website right now. I'm not going to name which company as they're by no means the only one who has this type of wording, but I will say that almost everyone would be familiar with the name if I did.
If you do submit material, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant ____ and its affiliates an unrestricted, nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute and display such material throughout the world in any media. You further agree that ____ is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how that you or individuals acting on your behalf provide to _____. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all the rights to the content you post; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply does not violate any provision herein and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and that you will indemnify _____ for all claims resulting from content you supply.
It's not just big corporate entities the have this kind of wording in their terms and conditions. Social media and networking are used daily by photographers of all stripes these days and you potentially give away image rights anytime you upload something to one of these sites. Here's an excerpt from the terms on Facebook.
you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy andapplication settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook ("IP License"). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
Note that if your content is shared with others, it is still governed by the above if they (the others) are still displaying it, even if you have deleted it from your profile. This is very important to consider in conjunction with Facebook's recent addition of an option to upload high resolution photos. It's now becoming possible for 300 dpi photos to be uploaded and printed at sizes up to 8 x 10 directly from Facebook.
Similar wording can be found in the fine print of photography competitions. In fact, it seems that it's rare that photography competitions don't feature some kind of rights transfer or the granting of broad usage. Here's an example from a Canon-sponsored competition.
[you] agree that the copyright to [your] photograph will be assigned to Canon U.S.A., Inc. in the event it is selected as a winner in this contest
Avoiding The Rights Grab
First and foremost, if you don't want to be an unknowing victim of a rights grab, make sure that you read the contract or terms and conditions before agreeing to anything. If you're in business as a photographer, where possible have a lawyer read it before you add your signature. When it's a contract negotiation with a client, there's obviously room for changes to the wording but when it's a competition or uploading to a social media site, you're going to be stuck with what they offer, so it's up to you whether you agree or not.
When you're in talks with a client, find out what they really want. A lot of buyers think they need a lot more than they actually do. As a photographer, it will often be up to you to educate the buyer. When someone comes to you with a contract that requires rights that go far beyond their needs, it's more likely to be out of ignorance than it is to be a concerted effort to grab the rights. Ask questions to determine what they actually require and chances are you'll be able to find common ground. It's very rare that you'll be offered a take it or leave it contract. The initial contract offered is more than likely to be a generic one that covers all bases rather than one specific to the particular job.
At the end of the day, it'll be up to you, the photographer, to decide what you should do. Your decision will affect you and your bottom line, and to a lesser extent, the industry as a whole. Get informed before you come to your decision.

Nisswa Area Historical Society president injured, more concerned about pioneer village than himself
On the morning of July 5, Nisswa Area Historical Society (NAHS) President Dick Carlson was moving a film projector that was just donated to the historical society to his car when he took a tumble that sent him to the hospital.
"I was carrying a large box that had just been donated to us. I met the people at the village and was carrying it to my car and fell forward on it and crushed both kneecaps," Carlson said.

Not funny. Not appropriate. Appearing in a parody hits their credibility and puts their jobs at risk. How will Fox local feel about a piece of video that has now gone viral? Shooting this on the set of the television station should not be allowed. It is cynical and not self mocking. It is passive aggressively directed at viewers.

Neil : "Think up an idea. That is the last damn thing you want. The worst songs I ever wrote were written that way – I can't even put 'em out. I got a few that are hidden – carefully hidden – no one will ever find 'em. They're awful."
Jian : "So it has to come out almost like you're expectorating?"
Neil : "It's like Schubert said, 'I don't make up music; I remember it.' I remember what I'm doing… That's Schubert said, and he was a great composer. He remembered what he did – who knows from where – but there it is. And you're there with it, and the only responsibility is to take care of it. Make sure you're in good enough shape to deliver it, and make sure you know what you're doing enough that you care about the moment that you do it."

If your computer is a laptop, you probably carry it wherever you go. The hard drive is loaded with all your important data – including digital photos, email messages, notes, letters, and spreadsheets. Of course, your home directory is encrypted so no one can get access to your files if your laptop is stolen. Traditional backup software (such as Bacula, Tivoli, and Networker) initiate backups from the server, and the backup intervals are typically very regular. For example, the server might begin the backup at the same time every day. This scheme does not work well with laptops. A laptop might not be online when the server initiates the backup. Moreover, the server might not even know the IP address of a roving mobile system.

- X-LARGE: Hat Size - 7.5" - 8"; Circumference - 23.5" - 25"
- NOTE: If measurement falls between helmet sizes, choose the smaller size
- Interlock hands on top of helmet and press down - player should feel pressure on crown of their head, not their brow
- Skin of the forehead should move with the front pad
- Front of helmet should be about 1" above the eyebrows
- Jaw pads should feel firm against the player's face
- There should be no room for twisting
- To avoid injury or discomfort, never wear a helmet positioned too high or too low

MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ) - A northeast Wisconsin man is under arrest for causing a head-on crash that killed a three-year-old Michigan boy and injured three of his family members.
Marinette County Sheriff Jerry Sauve said a 28-year-old Wausaukee man was taken to jail on possible charges of causing death and injury by drunk driving.
The crash happened late Friday night on Highway 141 in the town of Middle Inlet. Investigators said the suspect's pick-up truck slammed into a car.
3-year-old Christopher Croley of Ishpeming Michigan was killed. His 44-year-old mother Jodi Betts Croley was seriously hurt, as well as the boy's two sisters ages 16-and-17. They were all taken to a Green Bay hospital, and Christopher died on the way there.
The pickup driver escaped injury, and he was alone in his vehicle.

We are located in Carroll County Illinois along the Mississippi River at
the mouth of the Plum River. Going from north to south, the second automobile bridge between Iowa and Illinois is located just north of Savanna, and is
part of the U.S. Highway 52 route. The bridge leads to Sabula, Iowa, which is across the river from Savanna. U.S. Highway 52 goes through Savanna. Several miles to the South of us is Thomson Illinois seen quite a bit in the news recently where the Thomson Prison is located.
Thinking of Relocating?
Housing is far cheaper in a small town than it is in a large city. The same amount of money can buy you a huge, spacious place in a small town, while it will buy you a one-bedroom tiny flat in a city - which is fine for a young couple, but once you start a family and have children, it is much nicer if they grow up in a house with rooms to themselves.

Himachal Pradesh
Himachal Pradesh (Punjabi:ਹਿਮਾਚਲ ਪ੍ਰਦੇਸ਼) is a state in north-western India, and offers much for those looking to experience the Himalayas. While it does not claim the highest peaks in the range, there is plenty to do aside from mountaineering. Its name literally means "Abode of Snow".
There are twelve districts in Himachel Pradesh State:
- Shimla — the state capital and once the summer capital of the British Raj, it is a cool and charming Himalaya outpost. Major attractions are Jakhoo Hills, British era buildings, Mall road, The Ridge, IIAS, Potters Hill, Tara Devi. It is a largest city in Himachal Pradesh. There are lots of hotels with big names. It can be reached by train, bus and plane.
- Bir — a small town with a large Tibetan community and several Buddhist monasteries
- Dalhousie — a sleepy little town which retains its Victorian charm
- Dharamsala — the home of the Dalai Lama and India's largest Tibetan community, and a major Buddhist center
- Kullu — District HQ of kullu district, a few km south of Manali. Manali is tehsil of Kullu district.
- Manali — a buzzing and popular hill station, it's one of the hubs for travel around this part of the Himalaya
- Jogindernagar — popularly known as The City of Powerhouses, the town has scenic hill resorts and tourist attractions nearby and packs options for paragliding, trekking, angling and camping.
- Keylong — a small town and HQ of Lahul & Spiti district. It lies on way from Manali to Leh. Last petrol pump (gas station) of Manali-Leh highway is here, next petrol pump is at Leh, which is nearly 350 km away.
- Bilaspur — District HQ of Bilaspur district. First city in himachal pradesh on way to Manali. Main attraction is GovindSagar Lake. It's hot in summer and cold in winters.
- Sundernagar — first town of Mandi District on way to Manali. Main attraction is Sundernagar Lake.
- Mandi — District HQ of Mandi district. Major town. Main attraction is revalsar lake.
- Palampur— Famous for Tea gardens,Neugal Cafe and Sourav Van Vihar.
Other destinations[edit]
- Rewalsar (Tibetan: Tsopema) - a lake sacred to both Buddhists and Hindus
- Narkanda - a place known for Hatu Peak on the famous Hindustan Tibet Road
- Kunjum Pass- lies on way from Keylong to Kaza. It remains closed for nine months due to heavy snowfall.
- Parvati Valley
- Bharmour
- Great Himalayan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site
Hindi, Pahari, Punjabi and English are the main languages found in the state. Pahari is a dialect more closely related to the Dogri language in lower Himachal. In upper Himachal languages of Tibetan origin are used in daily conversation. Every district has its own dialect e.g. bilaspuri mandyali.
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
Shimla, Kullu (for Manali) and Kangra or Pathankot (for Dharamsala) have small airports, with services largely limited to Delhi. Flights are frequently cancelled or delayed by adverse weather. In addition the airport in Pathankot (Punjab) can be a convenient connection for Dharamsala and Dalhousie. If you are on a tight budget you might want to skip this option as it is way more costly than other mode of transportation. Airfare on this route is one of the highest in the world for a given unit distance. Airport in Shimla is at Jubbal Hatti which is around 40 km away from main Shimla City.
By train[edit]
While there is very little rail network within Himachal Pradesh, it is an effective way to get to within a short distance of the state. Chandigarh is well serviced and has bus connections to Manali and Shimla, Pathankot is a good choice if heading to Dharamsala. Due to transfer time, it would likely be slower to reach these destinations by a combination of train and bus, but it would be more comfortable.
By bus[edit]
Bus is the only practical means of getting to many points in Himachal. All cities of interest have direct services to Delhi. There are three different entry routes to Himachal if you are coming from Delhi.
- Delhi-Chandigarh-Shimla-Kaza route.
- Delhi-Chandigarh-Bilaspur-Mandi-Manali-Keylong-Leh
- Delhi-Cahandigarh-Kangra-Dharamsala or Delhi-Chandigarh-Kangra-Chamba
all three routes are interconnected within Himachal. It is cheapest means to travel in and around Himachal. There are Volvo buses operated by Himachal State Transport Corporation on these routes.
Get around[edit]
You need an inner line permit to visit some parts of Kkinnaur and Spiti districts.
By bus[edit]
Travel by bus can be done throughout for very little (15 hour bus rides are rarely more than a few hundred rupees) on the public buses, and though uncomfortable, are a great way to meet people. Though be careful, as riding an Indian bus is already a hair-raising experience, and riding an Indian bus on steep mountain roads is even more intimidating!
By train[edit]
Given the difficult geographical position of State there is very little penetration of railway network. Little rail network available give access to peripheral districts and capital Shimla. Nevertheless it is an amazing experience going from Kalka to Shimla. Kalka-Shimla railway track is also UNESCO world heritage site. Few points in Himachal are easily accessible by train, but there are narrow-gauge railways from Pathankot (Punjab) to Kangra and Kalka (Haryana) to Shimla. This will take you through beautiful rural Himalayan regions. The ride beyond Kangra is amazing. You ride along the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas via Palampur and Baijnath to Joginder Nagar. The region is criss crossed by rivers and streams.
By motorcycle[edit]
Enfield motorcycles can be rented here for less than 5 dollars a day, with no verification of a motorcycle license. Note that the area may not be the best place to learn how to ride.
Dalhousie is a world-famous hill station, located in the western part of Himachal Pradesh. Dalhousie is basically built on five different hills called Balun, Tehra, Kathlog, Patreyn and Bakrota, and covers an area of 14 sq. Km. Dalhousie is named after one of the British Governor Generals, Lord Dalhousie. Dalhousie has many beautiful churches and charming colonial architecture.
Kullu Valley is very well known as Valley of Gods. It is situated on the Beas river bank in the lower reaches of Himalayas. Rudyard Kipling has written: "Surely the Gods live here; this is no place for men". Kullu is very well known for its ancient temples, festivals and apple orchards. This place is also famous for its handicraft work and woollen work of puhla, shawls, patoos, caps and namdas. The best time to visit Kullu is during Dusshera in the month of October.
Spiti Valley is also known as the Little Tibet due to its vegetation, terrain and climate which are similar to Tibet. Spiti also means Middle Country.
Lahul Valley is green compared to Spiti Valley. It is covered with snow for most of the year. Roads are closed from late October to early May. Its main attractions are Patten Valley and Sri Trilokinath Temple, as well as lots of monasteries.
Trekking opportunities are plenty in the state, here are a few:
- Baralacha-Chandratal Trek — starts from Manali, ends at Chandratal Lake ("Moon" Lake)
- Bhabha Pass Trek — known for lush green flower strewn meadows, picturesque and dense forests. he path for bhaba pass trek passes through a mixed forest of conifers as well as crop fields of Mastrang.
- Bir Bhangal Trek — Bir Bhangal Trek is only for the experienced trekkers who have the experience of solid hiking and camping. This is one of the challenging trekking trails which starts from the Kullu valley.

HP food is often very simple but nutritious, including daal, rice, roti, vegetables, paneer, curds and pickles in the Punjabi influenced Pahari regions. Further North, Tibetan influence is stronger and barley is the main staple grain. Some of the specialities of Himachal include Manee',Madira,Pateer, Chouck, Bhagjery and chutney of Til.
In the Tibetan-influenced regions, chhang (fermented rice wine) is common.
There are plenty of hotels and restaurants in and around District HQ as well as main tourist places. There are rest houses of HP PWD at places where it is hard to find hotels.

Problems with this product
By PaulaToronto
from Toronto,ON
My body did not like these vitamins. I got the runs every time I took them. I reduced the dosage but still had problems.I took these faithfully for one month and found absolutely no change in energy levels which is the main reason I purchased this product. Instead I got horrible headaches and severe daily dizziness. I think the high dosage of green tea in the product was the culprit.I sent this product back and as soon as I stopped taking the product, my dizziness and headaches stopped.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Excellent products
By Neets

I am so glad that I purchased these products because I have a lot more energy. I am not feeling sleepy after lunch at all. At times when I skip a meal I know that I have my fruits and vegetables already. I wish it would come as a show stopper and on auto delivery. Maybe on the next visit???

I had been using these products since they were introduced on TSC.I stopped taking them for about 4 months and was using a cheaper supplement.NEVER AGAIN.I started developing gas and bloating and just not feeling well overall.I went back on these supplements about a week ago and my system feels normal again and my energy is back.I don't care if their a little more pricey because they work.If I can't afford them I really feel that I would be better off not taking anything at all.In saying that "take these or take nothing at all".That is my new mantra.
Yes, Fantastic!
By SHERRY
from SYDNEY MINES
I realized that I wasn't getting the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables daily. So easy to take and within the week I felt so good. Well worth the money and the knowing I am also getting my greens daily.

By DARLENE
from BRADFORD
these supplements are fantastic! They really do work! It is a good feeling knowing that you are getting all your fruits and veggies in a day, especially when you do not have the time for food prep. I will continue using them as I am reaping the benefits!

Review: 2007 Toyota Yaris
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2014.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
The youth-oriented Yaris should be a solid contender with its style, economy, and Toyota's reputation of quality and reliability.
Major Japanese automakers seemingly carry good-luck horseshoes in their pockets. Their small cars scored heavily during America's 1973 fuel crunch, and Toyota's entry-level 2007 Yaris has arrived this spring as gasoline prices top $3 a gallon in some parts of the country.
The early 2007 Yaris is a proven commodity. It was launched in Europe in 1999 and is Toyota's best-selling model there.
Major Yaris rivals are the new Honda Fit and Nissan Versa, along with the redone Chevrolet Aveo, Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent.
Youth Market Hopes
Small, fuel-sipping 4-cylinder engines that provide adequate performance are used by all those cars. And they have fairly roomy interiors and low-cost operation. Thankfully, none have the "econobox" styling that once branded entry autos as low-rent transportation.
Second-Generation Model
However, Toyota's youth-oriented Scion models have done much better in this country.
High Fuel Economy
The second-generation Yaris comes as a chic $10,950-$11,850 2-door hatchback or as a larger, smoothly styled, more upscale-looking 4-door sedan, which I tested in base form with an automatic transmission.
The shorter Yaris hatchback has the same powertrain and is similar to the sedan in most respects, although it's harder to get in and out of the hatchback's rear seat. However, it has a standard folding rear seat for more cargo area.
The base sedan starts at $11,825 with a manual gearbox and lists at $12,550 with an automatic transmission. The higher-line "S" sedan costs $13,325 with manual and $14,050 with an automatic.
Sportier S Version
The base Yaris sedan with an automatic is only moderately well-equipped, with items including air conditioning, a tilt steering wheel, intermittent wipers and color-keyed mirrors and door handles. But it lacks a radio, having only an "audio prep package" with four speakers. It also has no anti-lock brakes, and only the manual transmission version has a tachometer. Narrow 14-inch wheels and 65-series tires also are standard.
Desirable Option Package
Want to bet that you won't find many Toyota dealers offering a Yaris without the Power Package?
Remote keyless entry is $230 for all Yaris trim levels and requires the Power Package. One might think it would come at no extra charge with the power door locks.
Anti-lock brakes are a stand-alone $300 option, and front-seat side airbags and side-curtain airbags cost $650 for all Yaris versions.
Lively Performance
The Yaris provides brisk 65-75 mph passing and a 0-60 mph run in a fairly quick 8.9 seconds—at least with a light load. The engine is only moderately loud during fast acceleration, and the Yaris is a relaxed, quiet highway cruiser.
The engine works with a standard 5-speed manual transmission or extra-cost 4-speed automatic.
Lots of Shifting
The Yaris uses Toyota's new, quick electric power steering. The ride is supple, although sharp bumps can be felt. Stability is good on highways, and handling is OK if the car isn't pushed hard, especially the base version with its 14-inch tires. Even the 15-inch tires are suited for fuel economy, not spirited motoring.
Impressive Brakes
Front seats provide good support in curves, and a large windshield and wide outside mirrors help allow good driver visibility. Climate controls are large and sound system controls are easy to work, although they're rather small.
Controversial Gauge Layout
There's good room for three tall adults, with decent space for a shorter one behind the driver. The interior has only average-quality plastics, and cost-cutting is shown by unlit visor vanity mirrors. There are a fair number of storage areas, at least for small items.
Roomy Trunk
The engine compartment is artfully designed to allow easy access to fluid filler areas, but a prop rod is needed to hold the hood open, not smooth hydraulic hinges.
With style, economy and utility, the Yaris should be a solid contender, and Toyota's reputation for quality and reliability will help sell the car. As will high gasoline prices.
