GigBob on the Middle Fork
I have floated Idaho's Middle Fork of the Salmon River in mid-September a few times for a fishing trip but always felt rushed. A fully-loaded raft tends to scoot through the water too fast for good fishing. I wanted to do a slower trip. So, I successfully talked some of the members of my fly fishing club into doing a largely self-contained pontoon boat trip down the Middle Fork for a week in September of 2008.
The Middle Fork is a 100 mile long wilderness river that flows through the heart of Idaho. It is one of the original Wild and Scenic Rivers designated by Congress and is home to the Westslope Cutthroat Trout and the endangered Bull Trout, as well as some wild salmon and steelhead returning 800 miles from the Pacific Ocean. It is just a wonderful place to be, whether you're catching fish or not. I love to fish on rivers, especially remote rivers where it is hard to bump into another fisherman. I love to float rivers, too. I just get a tranquil feeling that is hard to describe. Most of the people who float the Middle Fork are not fishermen and those who are usually aren't that serious, so the fishing pressure is amazingly light. It's a permit river and the Forest Service only allows a handful of parties to go down the river each day. Having a chance to float and fish this remote wilderness river is just one of those things you have to grab if the opportunity arises.
Our club is called "Pinocchio" because when it comes to the size or the number of fish we catch, you will never get the real truth from any of us. We are a small club and we get together during the winter to tie flies or build fly rods and then go on fishing outings in the spring, summer and fall. Most of us were born in the 1940s or 50s and for some this would be their first extended wilderness trip.

warning to fishermen everywhere.

Doing the trip ourselves instead of going on a guided trip is like the difference between putting on a great big dinner party at your house and going out to a restaurant. If you go to the restaurant, you pretty much know what to expect. The food will be good, the service will be good, there will be no hassles and everyone will be nice to you. And if you pay the bill, no one will ask you to stay up late doing the dishes. If you have the dinner party at your house, it will take a lot of work and organization and clean-up afterwards and you will know that things just might not turn out the way you want them to. However, there is the satisfaction of doing it yourself and that was a driver for all of us.
I got together with the Pinocchio club and talked to them about my grand plan of floating and fishing the Middle Fork in small pontoon fishing boats. There was some skepticism but it was overcome by the prospect of adventure, especially the thought that we might be the first group to do the whole river in pontoon boats controlling them mostly with our feet instead of our oars. This was in 2006 and that winter I was lucky enough to get a permit for September 2007. We put our plans together over and over. We bought needed gear and planned the menus and did all the complex things that must be done before you can take a do-it-yourself trip like this. We decided that we would need some cargo boats to carry the common gear like the kitchen, the food, the toilets and fire pan, but each pontoon boat would carry about 75 to 100 pounds of personal gear like clothes, tents, sleeping bags, chairs, fishing equipment, etc.

Five members of our club decided to take ten-foot pontoon boats, my son would take his nine foot Outcast 900 pontoon boat and I decided to try out the new NRS GigBob. I was able to acquire an early prototype of this new boat and was eager to try it out. That made seven in the little boats. Because the water is low in September and we were going to do the entire 100-mile trip from Boundary Creek to Cache Bar, I wanted to make sure the cargo boats were loaded lightly enough to handle the bony section at the top and to be able to carry us and our little boats if the river turned out to be too big for them.
We recruited some friends who loved to float and had their own boats and really weren't interested in fishing. We arranged to take three cargo boats with only the oarsman on board (14' NRS Scout, 14' AIRE Super Duper Puma and a 16' Cataraft). We wanted to have a couple of nimble safety boats so we put one person in an inflatable kayak and another in a 12' Cat. We also lined up a 13' NRS Otter equipped with a fishing frame and two people and some gear. That meant that we had fourteen guys in all, which is pretty good size for a do-it-yourself trip. After all this planning and all this work a lightening storm hit the Middle Fork and started burning the forest right through the canyon. The fires were right along the water for ten or fifteen miles and finally in August the Forest Service closed the river for the season. They gave me a September 8, 2008 permit and I had to tell everyone that we couldn't float until the next year. Needless to say, it was a big letdown.
I anticipated that we would have to start all over in 2008. Maybe we would have to recruit new people and plan everything again. Not a chance! That next spring I found no one wanted to let a Middle Fork permit slip through their hands and we all just picked up where we left off the last year, which made for a pretty easy preparation.
When we finally approached our launch date, the river was flowing at 1.8 feet which was higher than I expected. This meant we had more cargo boats than we needed, but in the planning stages you never know and I felt it is better to have too many boats than too few. Taking more boats also allowed us to eat well since we could carry more food and drinks. Also, one of our club members volunteered to fly his airplane into Indian Creek airstrip, twenty-five miles downstream from the launch. The Forest Service has a ranger station there. He flew in with coolers stuffed with ice, food and beer. Maybe it's because we are getting into the geezer age range or maybe it was because of the cool fall weather, but we brought in way too much beer and too much food. It's a hard thing to measure and we felt we would rather have too much than not enough. The extra ice was unnecessary because it was so cold at night that we really weren't losing much ice.
The way we worked things was that each day as we pulled into camp two different people would be responsible to set up the kitchen, prepare the evening meal and clean up. The next morning those same two people would prepare the breakfast and do the clean-up. Then they were through with that for the rest of the trip and the next day it would be someone else's turn. Each morning all the lunch stuff was spread out and everyone made their own lunch, stuffed it into a gallon-size Ziploc bag and carried it on their own boat. The cargo boats naturally floated faster than the little boats and the little boats were spread out up and down the river, so we decided to eat lunch on our own so no one had to wait on anyone else. The food was all good, but I have never been on a river trip when it wasn't. I don't know if it is the fresh air or the beauty of the surroundings or if it is just that supreme state of relaxation you get into on the river, but the food always tastes great.
Those of us on the pontoon boats and the GigBob wore neoprene waders with a tight wader belt. The neoprene waders fit snugly and held in warmth against the cold water. The snug fit of the waders and the tight wader belt minimized any water entering in the few times when there was a swim. We had on fishing boots and wore flippers (or fins) over the boots. We wore wading jackets and PFDs over them. Most of us opted for the NRS Chinook PFD because we could put our nippers, hemostats, flies and other gear in the pockets and still have the flotation we needed in the event of a mishap. Being dressed like this kept us warm and dry and still didn't present a problem if we fell overboard.
Weather is unpredictable on the Middle Fork in September and we were all prepared for the worst, but we had nothing but beautiful fall weather: cold and frosty in the mornings, comfortable during the days and cool in the evenings. We had some friends launch one day after we got off the river and they had miserable weather. Be prepared because you just never know. We hauled all the bad weather gear, from extra warm clothes and rain gear to the indispensable NRS River Wing, which has saved many a day for me during bad weather, but we didn't use any of these things on this trip.
When I was planning for this trip, I was nervous because I could not find any reports of anyone doing the entire trip in these little pontoon fishing boats and the GigBob was an unknown quantity to me. I worried that they might be too small for a Class III/IV river like the Middle Fork. On top of that, four of the six people who would be on these little boats had almost no experience on whitewater. As it turned out, the pontoon boats did well even in the hands of novices. The four inexperienced members of our party all learned from their mistakes very quickly. At low water, dodging rocks was a bigger problem than dealing with big waves, so most of the mistakes they made were recovered from easily. At the end of the first day, everyone was handling their boats like veterans. We used our fins to control the boats and only used the oars in the bigger rapids.
All the pontoon boats did well but I was most impressed with how well the GigBob handled, especially considering it was a couple of feet shorter than the others. It floated through the shallows and over the barely submerged boulders better than the pontoon boats or the bigger rafts and cats because the bottom of the GigBob's pontoons are flat and wide, drawing far less water with the same load. Even though it was only about eight feet in length, it handled the big water as well as or better than the ten-foot pontoon boats. I came to love the flat deck and my ability to store all kinds of stuff back there. Everything on the GigBob is smooth and there are fewer places to snag your fly line than on the typical pontoon boat. I just loved it.
Since we were able to maneuver our small craft with our fins, we could spend almost all our time fishing. We could hold in the slower water and work the seams with our flies. We could pick the pocket water with ease. Moving from river-left to river-right was usually an easy process just using our fins and this gave us access to all the holes and good water. Floating on these little boats was the perfect way to fish a wilderness river.
People say that there are five stages that a fly fisherman goes through. The first stage is that you want to catch a fish on a fly, the second is that you want to catch a lot of fish on flies, the third is that you want to catch a really big fish on a fly, the fourth is you want to catch a bunch of big fish on flies and the fifth stage is like Zen fishing: you become one with the habitat. That's pretty much where all of us are in our Pinocchio group. We focus on a technique we call "Match the Habitat". We try to acquire enough knowledge of the trout, the insects, the river and all the other variables to know what fly to put on and how to present that fly to draw a strike. So, the fact that most of the Westslope Cutthroat on the Middle Fork are only between 12 and 14 inches long didn't bother us. There were plenty of them that were bigger but it really wasn't all that important. We could always squeeze ourselves into the heavy crowds on some popular rivers where bigger fish live, but the natural and secluded feel of the Middle Fork made up for any lack of size in the fish.
We caught a lot of fish every day and had a great time. We caught enough fish each day that most of us quit counting somewhere in the 20's. We were catching the rare native Westslope Cutthroat trout, one of my favorite fish. I like these fish because of where they live: only in the remote waters of Idaho and Montana. They are a pure and natural strain of fish that hasn't been altered by civilization due to the remote areas where they live. There were a lot of aggressive juvenile steelhead that we called smolts. They could be found in the riffles and the faster water. If you let your fly drift into their waters they would nail your fly in an instant. They fought hard but they were usually just little guys between four and eight inches long.

The Cutthroat does very well on the Middle Fork. They live in their habitat pretty much the same way they have for ten thousand years and the habitat of the Middle Fork really hasn't changed in all that time. The one exception to this is the absence of the huge populations of salmon and steelhead that used to return from the Pacific every year to spawn in these waters. Their absence has really altered the ecosystem. The Westslope Cutthroat and the Bull Trout have managed to survive without them and to do pretty well, but still.... Anyway, the Westslope have learned over the thousands of years that they can derive the maximum food with the minimum expenditure of energy if they inhabit the pools, the eddies, the pocket water and the long and slow water of some of the runs. We learned quickly not to waste our time fishing the empty water
Almost any properly placed dry fly seemed to work, but some worked a lot better than others. Grasshoppers, especially Dave's Hopper, were very productive. Size did matter: they avoided the hoppers that were bigger than size 10. Stimulators produced well in orange or yellow. The Adams, the Irresistable and red ants also were very productive for us. Nymphs did not do very well but we did find we could really increase our catch rate if we "drowned" our dry flies by giving them a tug just after they hit the water. Our dry flies would be suspended just under the surface film and the Cutts hit them much more aggressively than they did with the flies on the surface. Because the water is so clear, you can still easily see your dry fly when it is drowned.
On the Middle Fork, the Forest Service ranger arbitrates with all the group leaders while they select campsites. Using a system of assigned campsites keeps the crowds spread out along the river so that you are rarely aware that you are not the only people on the river. No matter how much you prepare for this little exercise of camp selection you will be outsmarted by the professional guides who always get the best camps. I don't mean that there are good and bad camps because they really are all about the same. What I mean is that it is the placement of your camps and how far you have to travel each day that makes one camp better than the other. We had only six days to float because a bunch of us had to get back to work afterwards. That meant we were going to have to average sixteen miles a day, but it never came out as average. We did 12 miles a day for the first two days, then we did about 16 to 18 miles a day for the next three days and we had to row like crazy to do 25 miles on the last day and still unload all of our gear for the ride home. That was a long day!
In the upper section, we did see a few bears and we had heard they were pretty aggressive. We used our trusty NRS straps to keep our coolers and dry boxes closed and suspended other food in mesh bags from branches high in the trees. We made sure no one had any food or anything sweet smelling in their tents. The way I figured it, though, was we had fourteen guys all sleeping by themselves in fourteen different tents because they couldn't stand each other's snoring, so the bears probably would leave us alone anyway.
Three of us brought our sons along, one was in his 30s and the other two were in their 20s. We stopped at the Flying B Ranch about two-thirds of the way down the river to get an ice cream bar and send a postcard home. My son sent a card to his girlfriend and wrote, "You know you are on a geezer trip when there is a last call for Aleve each night."
One of the sons, Scott, has been deaf since he was about three years old, a result of meningitis. Scott rowed our safety boat and hung at the back of the pack to pick up after any disasters. Fortunately, there were none, but we were all confident that Scott, deaf or not, would be there to handle the situation. Deafness was no handicap for Scott and he was able to communicate with us quite well. He did have one mishap, though. He had rigged a digital video camera on a frame rig set up above his head on the boat. He was able to run the camera continuously so that he would have a boater's eye view of the whole river and then could edit it down after the trip was over. Scott was heartbroken on the third day when the bolts holding the camera to the frame worked loose and his camera fell into a deep hole.

We had a father and son team on the NRS Otter fishing boat. Dad had a fair amount of river experience but his son had none. Dad really wanted to fish and the son really wanted to learn to row, but that isn't how it worked for the first couple of days. After a couple of days, though, osmosis took place and the next thing we knew the son was doing the rowing and Dad was doing the fishing and neither one was willing to trade positions. On the last day, just when the son was starting to get cocky, he failed to hold on the inside as the river made a powerful and sudden left turn. He let the boat slam into and ride up on a giant rock, making it almost vertical. Both of them fell out of the boat into the rapid but the boat righted itself and continued down the river. They were able to swim to the boat and grab onto the safety lines and pull themselves back in. The only thing they suffered from was embarrassment.

We had a couple of incidents in the lower section. One of the members of our party scraped his "brand X" pontoon boat against some rocks in a rapid and the boat just shredded open, blowing out all the air in that pontoon almost instantly. He managed to hang on to the remaining pontoon and kick the boat to shore. There were two lessons here. First, there is no better rescue than a self-rescue. Second, it was a valuable lesson in the importance of taking quality equipment on a trip like this. It also reinforced my idea that the GigBob, which has three air chambers instead of two, would be a safer boat in the unlikely event of a mishap like this.
One of the others in our party was on a 10' pontoon boat and he underestimated the size of a hole he floated into and was flipped over backwards before he knew what happened. He lost his fly rod and much of his dignity, but was able to self-rescue very quickly. Other than looking like a drowned rat, he suffered no damage thanks to wearing his new NRS Chinook PFD. The little boats give you a chance to stop your forward motion in most of the rapids and work your way left or right to avoid holes and rocks, but you still have to respect the power of the rapids and remember that a shorter boat cannot straddle a hole the way a bigger boat can.

It has been about eight months since we made our float trip. Everyone still wants to talk about the trip if they can find anybody to listen. We all are looking forward to getting another Middle Fork permit so we can do this again and this time other members of the club also want to take a pontoon boat or GigBob down the river.
I am sold on the GigBob for a trip like this. It was obvious to me that the frameless design meant it would be much easier to transport and would be lighter, but I was really surprised at how superior it was to the conventional pontoon fishing boats. Now I am planning on floating and fishing many remote rivers when they are at low water and no longer accessible to conventional rafts or drift boats, letting me fish on less pressured waters. Also, because it is a lighter boat, I can take it on trips that will require some portages. Obviously, it will be my boat of choice for any quick trips after work since I can stuff the whole outfit and all my fishing gear into my trunk. I am looking forward to years of enjoyment from this great little boat.

Many games take up the entire screen, and when they start up there is often an unsightly few seconds in which the window creation, video mode changes and so forth cause the screen to flicker, the desktop to wink in and out of existence, and so forth. This code sample shows how to make the desktop smoothly fade to black when an application starts, allowing the messy details of graphics initialization to be hidden.
The demo operates by creating a borderless, captionless popup window covering the entire screen. Initially, this window is transparent because it does not paint itself. Then an OpenGL context is created that has no back buffer, so all draw calls operate directly on the displayed image. Each frame, a full-screen alpha-blended rectangle is drawn, fading the image gradually toward black. Any color (or texture) could be chosen, but black is probably the best in most cases. After the fadeout is complete, the application can switch video modes and create its main window, and then destroy the fadeout window. The demo program creates a new OpenGL context and renders a spinning cube until you press Escape.
The core of the effect is in this message handler for the fadeout window:
LRESULT CALLBACK FadeoutWndProc (HWND hWnd, UINT message,
WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
static int frames = 0;
static DWORD nextFrameTime;
switch (message)
case WM_CREATE:
// Set up a basic OpenGL environment for the fadeout, with no
// backbuffer, zbuffer, stencil, or destination-alpha
g_pRenderEnvironment = CreateOpenGLEnvironment(hWnd, false, false,
false, false);
if (!g_pRenderEnvironment)
MessageBox(hWnd, L"Could not set up OpenGL!",
L"Error", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
return 0;
// Setup OpenGL state
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, GL_SRC_ALPHA);
glOrtho(0, 1, 0, 1, -1, 1);
nextFrameTime = GetTickCount() + FADEOUT_TIME / 256;
return 0;
case WM_PAINT:
if (GetTickCount() > nextFrameTime)
nextFrameTime += FADEOUT_TIME / 256;
// Fade out the screen one more step
glColor4f(0, 0, 0, (float)(255 - frames) / (256 - frames));
glRectf(0, 0, 1, 1);
if (frames == 256)
// Finished fading out, so validate the window rectangle
// (so Windows stops sending us paint messages)
ValidateRect(hWnd, NULL);
// Get rid of the existing render environment, as we will
// be creating a new one for the main window
delete g_pRenderEnvironment;
// Create the main window before destroying the fadeout
// window, so as not to allow the desktop to visibly
// flicker between them
return 0;
return DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
I have tried the program on an nVIDIA GeForce 6800 and on an ATI Radeon 9600, but I would love to hear if it works (or fails) on other cards. :)
The full source code and binary are available here, with the source distributed under the BSD license. The source also demonstrates some parts of a lightweight, extensible framework for graphics applications that I've been developing for an engine I'm working on.
Some improvements that could be made to the code:
* Sometimes on ATI cards the taskbar isn't affected by the fadeout, though it disappears a few seconds after the main window is created. You might be able to fix this by making the fadeout window "topmost," though I haven't gotten around to trying it.
* Some useful work, like loading resources, could be done in the background while the fadeout is occurring. Currently the program just enters a busy wait between frames: since the window is not validated, Windows spams us with WM_PAINT messages, which are ignored until it's time for the next fadeout frame. This could be done with a timer instead.

U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems
The U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems gives an overview of higher education systems across the world. Universitas 21 developed the Rankings as a benchmark for governments, education institutions and individuals. The project aims to highlight the importance of creating a strong environment for higher education institutions to contribute to economic and cultural development, provide a high-quality experience for students and help institutions compete for overseas applicants.
The first Ranking of National Higher Education Systems was published in May 2012 by Universitas 21. Some 48 countries were ranked separately in four areas (Resources, Environment, Connectivity and Output) and overall. The Rankings met a longstanding need to shift discussion from the existing rankings of the world's best universities to the standing of the whole higher education system in each country.
In the 2013 Rankings report the four broad measures remain the same, but the country coverage has been extended to include Serbia and Saudi Arabia, bringing the total number of countries in this year's report to 50. For several other countries, particularly India, Indonesia and Malaysia, there has been a marked improvement in the quality and timeliness of data.
There has also been a shift in the methodology between the 2012 and 2013 Rankings. In a world with greater emphasis on communication technologies, connectivity between individuals and institutions is heavily based on online interactions. In recognition of this, two new web-based measures have been included in the 2013 Connectivity variables. In the 2012 Rankings we gave a weight of only 10 per cent to Connectivity because of the limited range of the variables. In recognition of the improved coverage we have increased the weight by five percentage points to 15 per cent (and lowered that on Environment by the same amount).
The treatment of missing data has also been improved in the 2013 Rankings - the first quartile value is used to replace missing data in all cases. The use of first quartile values avoids distortions that occur when a variable has a high average value across countries for which data are available, thereby ensuring methodological consistency.
Overall, in the 2013 Universitas 21 Ranking of Higher Education Systems, the top five countries were found to be the United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada and Denmark.

Course Descriptions
The Veterinary Practice Management Program consists of four integrated management modules, each comprising three days of instruction. One module (18 class hours) is devoted to each of four management disciplines:
Human Resource Management
The primary focus is to understand concepts that will help develop strategies and policies to motivate and compensate staff, and to improve communications with peers and clients to enhance practice productivity and profitability. Topics such as motivation, decision-making, leadership/group dynamics, management techniques and negotiation will focus on the interpersonal aspects of the role of the Practice Owner/Manager. Information on personnel selection, retention, and compensation will provide guidance in developing effective human resource management systems. The module will make use of case analysis as well as experience-based exercises to illustrate the issues presented and to develop the human resources management skills of the participants.
Accounting & Financial Management
Applying a basic understanding of key financial principles and techniques, participants will be able to evaluate, critique, and set appropriate financial direction for a practice. Beginning with a review of financial statements, the module will focus on how financial information is analyzed and used by management in decision-making. Key topics include understanding business ratios, cash flow, financial planning, working capital management, debt capacity, capital budgeting, and fixed vs. variable costs. This module will make extensive use of case studies and illustrations.
Marketing Management
Consistent with your business mission, this module maximizes the impact of marketing strategies, and provides solutions to help market your practice successfully to clients. Topics include the study of client /buyer behavior, advertising and promotion, on-line marketing, market segmentation, competitive analysis, and pricing issues. Case analysis and related class discussions will provide participants with experience in developing appropriate marketing strategies and in choosing tactics to implement a marketing plan for their respective practices.
Strategic Thinking
The strategic thinking module integrates the three previous modules to provide the big picture and to develop a blueprint for success. Skills will be developed to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace and a broad understanding of goals, strengths and opportunities. Discover how the organization can best match its goals, strengths, limitations, and resources with the opportunities and challenges in the external business environment. Through a combination of lecture, case analysis, and hands-on-exercises, participants will examine the key components of an integrated business strategy and will apply the management knowledge and skills learned toward the development of a functional business plan.

This is a brown-pink polish in the same family as OPI's Barefoot in Barcelona, only more pink. Vacation Time is a deep rose with brown undertones.
These colors look great on people with warmer and/or darker skin tones, but not so much on the cool-toned ladies such as myself. The formula is thin but builds nicely to a streak-free finish in two coats.
You know it could look good but it's not "me". I think it's called Vacation Time because it's a work-friendly polish color. I imagine staring at my nails after a hard week at work and thinking- vacation time!

I love sinful colors. Ever since I started painting my nails I have used these colors.I love the pinks and purples and blues and well basically all of them. I love the glitter ones. I recommend buying these nail polishes!!!
This was a top rated product from Make Up Alley. I happened to have this in my untrieds so I was excited to pull this out for a nice fall manicure. After using this I disagree with that recommendation. The formula on this is really thin though and this goes on streaky. The polish tended to want to run and it's more work to get an even layer of this. The second coat did even it out a lot but I was able to put it on a bit thicker. This is a warm rosy shade and I kept thinking I had something like it already. After looking in my stash I found China Glaze's Dress Me Up and side by side these are sister polishes. Dress Me Up is a shade lighter and not as rosy. I really wanted to like this polish once I got it on, but it is so boring and nothing about it really stands out and makes me want to look at my pretty nails. It really needs some shimmer or a golden inner glow or something. I am already bored with it and it has only been a day. Even though this isn't much of a stand alone shade, it is great for doing nail art and I like the warmth and the creamy woodrose color overall. With my skintone it really does nothing for me, although on someone else this will probably look fabulous. It is a bargain at only .99 on sale. I wouldn't get it again though since I have the similar shade in Dress Me Up and I like the China Glaze formula and color better.
This color is a gorgeous muted coral pink that immediately brightens my skin, and I think it's a color that would look great on all skin tones. Two coats get full coverage
More reviews by ClassyNeverTrashy
I will not lie, I tend to shop by brand.
I do not care how cute, cheap, etc. wet and wild, sinful colors, nyc, etc. makeup brand cosmetics are. I will ultimately opt for the more "luxurious" drugstore cosmetics.
But anyway, my local pharmacy carries mostly cheaper brands and I wanted a light brown polish.
Okay it looks coral in the pics, in real life its more brownish/nude with a hint of orange to it.
So I got it, why not? It was two bucks.
Anyway, it's great. I hate to admit it. Dries quick, doesn't really chip and I've had it for a while and it lasts!!!
I guess I'd buy it again if I was tight on money hahaha.
While I'm here writing a review on this, go out and buy wet and wild matte top coat!!
MUA you done me wrong! The top-rated polish? Really? This has to be the most boring, grandma color in my stash. I mean, I *am* a grandma, but still. I gave this four stars because of the price--spare change--and the quality. The damn thing wears like iron. After around ten days I could finally take it off because of the new growth near my cuticles but the tips showed not a single chip. It has already been noted that this color is misnamed, since it's definitely for work (especially if you work in the funeral business). I think a better name might be "Inoffensive."
I will try this brand again if I can find a color more to my taste, ie OPI Mon-sooner or Later and Ate Berries in the Canaries, and Essie Playdate, all of which I am grateful for discovering here. But have pity, ladies. Those of us who can no longer wear, say, emerald eyeliner still need some joy. I think I'll pawn off Vacation Time on my mother (she's 101!) although she does like a little sparkle in her top coat :)

So cheap and I always get compliments when I wear it ! A brownish color with a hint of pink. Perfect for fall and goes with absolutely any skin color.
I totally LOVE sinful polishes for the simple fact of having the most unique shades at dirt cheap prices and the quality of expensive ones. I especially love the glitter polishes and make a beeline right to the cosmetic department at walmart as soon as I hit the door! A++++
I love this colour with just one coat - it's sheer and glossy, a bit similar to OPI Gouda Gouda Two Shoes but without the shimmer. Two coats makes it opaque, but a bit more 'brick' coloured.
I agree it becomes dull after drying completely, and would recommend a topcoat for a shiny finish.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I give this polish mixed reviews. The color is gorgeous. A save rosy/brown neutral that would look good on just about every skin tone. It gives a pop of color but doesn't come across as garish or flashy. Very pretty.
Application is easy without streaks, but it took no less than 4 coats get opaque coverage. I also noticed it wears off easily. Also, for some odd reason it doesn't seem to set well on my nails. I applied it in the morning and the shine looked decent all day. When I woke up the next morning, it was dull and matte looking. I applied another coat of color and by lunchtime it was starting to wear again. I've given it a layer of clear top coat and I'm hoping this will preserve the finish.
I'd buy it again, but it does take a bit of work to keep it looking good for more than a day or two.

Causley's mastery of traditional forms imparts a timeless quality to his poetry, the voice of which is more often communal than personal. So it's possible to imagine narratives such as 'Miller's End' being recited round a fireside a hundred or more years ago. This traditionalism has sometimes obscured the daring of his imagery, a visionary quality as strange and intense as one of his acknowledged masters, William Blake. Like Blake, a central concern is the fall from innocence to experience and it's not surprising children feature constantly in Causley's poetry, including the much anthologised 'Timothy Winters'. Indeed Causley wrote some of his finest poems for children and saw no distinction between these two strands of his work. Perhaps Causley's ability to retain a child-like openness in part explains the freshness of his writing: unlike the narrator of 'The Lunatic Boy', Causley never lost his vision of a world where "Houses put on leaves, water rang."
Given the oral roots of some of his favourite forms, it's immensely valuable to be able to listen to Causley's own interpretation. His Cornish burr imparts a story-teller's magic to the ballads, and an intimacy to more personal poems such as the moving elegy to his parents, 'Eden Rock'. As he says in the last line of this poem "I had not thought that it would be like this", a fitting epitaph for a poet who continued to be surprised by the world throughout his long life.
His recording was made for The Poetry Archive on 5 December 2002 at the home of a friend of Mr. Causley in Launceston, Cornwall, UK and was produced by Richard Carrington.

A pittstop I think!!
What do you think Elvis did during the long instrumental part during this song (vegas 69) -Did he go backstage and wait there before ending the song or did he go through the audiance or did he simply stayed on stage???
Old Times they are not forgotten
what a guy,...every night during the same song a pittstop....Originally Posted by ComeBackChick
Old Times they are not forgotten
I think he did not a pittstop. You know that International Hotel that he played that year is so big, you could easy get lost in the halls. I think that it was to far away for him to go there under the show. He could do so much, he could give fans a handshake or a kiss. He could go backstage ask how long he had been on, so he could end the concert, or he freshed hisself up..I don't know that he did.
I think he just walked around the audience (remeber Love Me Tender TTWIT?) At some point I used to think that he just stay on the stool playing rhytm electric guitar... thats a possible to, he played more electric guitar on that season than on any other one, still very on the groove of the 68 comback tv show.

I hope someone that saw that concert will let us know.
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
Thanks for your opinion...Originally Posted by Raised on Rock
Old Times they are not forgotten
He left the stage as if the concert was over, returning to finish the song and then ended with the real intended finish" Can't Help Falling In Love"At least thats my understanding of what happened.

Jennie Smith '08 was not expecting to attend Kalamazoo College when she visited here with a friend in 2003.
"I wanted her to go to the University of Michigan with me, and she was trying to convince me to go to 'K' with her. She ended up there and I ended up here," laughs the Traverse City native.
Many things drew her to our hilly campus - the intimate size and passionate professors, the opportunity to play soccer and to study abroad. Those things all garner mention when she reflects about her years here, but one of the last endeavors she took on turned into an ongoing influence she credits with real lessons for her professional life.
"My work with the Guilds was the best introduction to the professional world I could have asked for," Jennie says. "It gave me the opportunity to work with professionals in a business setting. I learned very valuable lessons. One is that committees and partners are a big part of the business world, and being open to change is key."
Launched last January, the Kalamazoo College Guilds Initiative builds connections between students and alumni around issues of common interest and presents opportunities for professional networking, collaborative action, leadership development, and lifelong ties to Kalamazoo College. The charter guilds are Sustainability, Health, Business, and Justice & Peace. Jennie became student liaison for the latter.
"Jennie was one of half a dozen seniors who were inspired by the possibilities of the guilds," says Guilds Director Joan Hawxhurst. "I hope it will be fun for them to look back ten years down the road and be proud of how they helped this get started."
Each of the four guilds - made up of faculty, students, alumni, and community members - are open to anyone with a connection to Kalamazoo College, and activities range from on-campus lunches, speaking engagements, Friday Forums, and Passion to Profession workshops, to informal regional gatherings as far away as Traverse City and Washington, D.C. Each group determines the ongoing agenda and collaborative response to their issue. A new guild may be created if interest and support develop around a new area.
Each guild developed a first-step event during spring term of 2008. Having acquired a passion for the work of the Alliance to End Hunger during a SIP internship in Washington, D.C., Jennie had a firm idea of what the Peace and Justice Guild should choose as their rallying issue. And she also had strong feelings about what kind of event the guild should sponsor, hoping the group would stage a multi-day conference on hunger.
"I was so attached to this event being three days, but I had to learn how to be flexible and to take other people's input," says Jennie, who is proud of the Hunger Forum panel discussion the guild presented in late April. "I had to relax and not hold onto my ideas so rigidly," she says. "It's been very helpful to me in my new work."
Today Jennie is an education coordinator for So Others Might Eat (SOME) in Washington, D.C., an interfaith organization that serves the poor with food, clothing, health care, and job training. Preceding that post, she served a summer internship with Urban Farming in Detroit, where she got her hands dirty cultivating healthy food at community gardens. She hoped to be more directly involved with feeding people in need at her first job out of college, but again, being open to change has served her well.
"It's not exactly what I had in mind," Jennie says about her work to help people gain job skills. "But I've grown to love it. I'm definitely working with people who are living with problems I want to help solve. Besides, I have a roommate who works at DC Kitchens, so I'm able to live vicariously through her. I'm always grilling her about her day."
In a kind of connection the guilds seek to create, Jennie met up last fall with Liesel Flashenberg '67, creator of Through the Kitchen Door International, a culinary arts training program for low income and recent immigrant adults and at-risk youth.
"I thought we'd just meet for coffee, but we went to the farmers market, and she took me home, fed me, and introduced me to her family. She was so welcoming," Jennie says.
"Jennie is an amazing example of personal and professional growth that can happen for students who take leadership roles," says Joan. "Most students come here familiar with leadership positions. But the guilds give the
"My work with the Guilds was the best introduction to the professional world I could have asked for."opportunity to co-lead, to collaborate, and that involves developing a different set of leadership skills. It was exciting to see her gain those partnership skills needed for sharing leadership."
Robert Barnhart '70, Regional Director of Church World Service, was a guest presenter at the Hunger Forum. He was gratified to be invited back to campus, and has good things to say about his experience. "I think the Guilds offer a unique opportunity for students to network, and to put their talent, energy, and learning to work. I was impressed with the event," he says. "Jennie had a lot of passion for the project. She kept the momentum moving forward, and it was well organized. She did a good job, and I felt appreciated."
In talking about her own momentum, Jennie says her future may bring graduate school in public policy or social work - or it may not. Either way, Jennie's training and talents are rooted in service, leadership, collaboration - and flexibility.
The Guilds' First Step Events
Beginning just three months after a January 2008 launch, each of the four Guilds presented a "first-step" event that focused students, alumni, the community, and primarily a spotlight on an issue of current concern. The Health Guild presented a symposium, Insect-borne Diseases and Related Issue; the Business Guild presented a two-day event, Entrepreneurship: From Idea to Reality; and the Sustainability Guild sponsored two days of Earth Day festivities.
The Justice & Peace Guild presented a Hunger Forum at Stetson Chapel in April. Sixty students, staff, and alumni engaged with a panel of speakers to discuss a range of topics, including the underlying causes of hunger such as poverty, elitism, and social inequity. Circuit Court Judge Alexander Lipsey '72 moderated, and other guests included Robert Barnhart '70, Regional Director of Church World Service; Anne Lipsey, Executive Director of Kalamazoo's hunger-fighting Loaves and Fishes; Carol Salisbury, a nurse practitioner with expertise in nutrition and disease; and Jordan Kough, New Site Development Manager of the Washington, DC-based Campus Kitchens, which helps colleges redirect unused food to people in need.

Good Evening!
I just installed a Runtal baseboard radiator in my bathroom as a replacement for an old cast iron unit. I have bled the unit and have water coming out of the radiator, but it is cold water. The other radiators are warming just fine.
Several years agao I took out the radiator during a bathroom remodel and replaced about 20 feet of supply and return line in the process. They have been stubbed up through the floor and capped until now.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks everybody!

North Dakota authorities identify man who died in Fargo crashFARGO – A 65-year-old man is dead after the van he was driving on Interstate 29 left the roadway and crashed into a bridge pillar at the 52nd Avenue South overpass this morning, the North Dakota Highway Patrol said.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Authorities have identified the man killed in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 29 in Fargo.
The Highway Patrol says 65-year-old Frank Deitz was driving a van shortly before 8 a.m. Monday when it entered the median and struck a pillar of an overpass. Deitz was pronounced dead at the scene. A 62-year-old female passenger from Fargo was taken to a hospital with what the patrol said are injuries that are not life-threatening.
The southbound 2006 Chrysler Town & Country van crashed at about 7:55 a.m. Road conditions were dry at the time, the patrol stated in a news release.
Both occupants were wearing seatbelts, and the van's airbags deployed, the patrol reported.
Damage to the van was estimated at $15,000.

Hey thanks again guys. Ill try my best!
bro what you need in math is actually simple: PRACTICE...!! unlike other subject thatwe can understand by just reading them, math is something that YOU have to DO by yourself... only then you can understand it... and trust me, you're not alone...
I moved here to United States like 2 years ago from Japan. I was misplaced in Math class, and i just want to catch up. Plus my dream is to become a vet, and they require Lots of maths... its gonna be hard for me, but i least i can challenge.
in a high school calculus class, do they cover all three semesters of calculus (differentiable, integral, multivariable) or just what?? and why are you in a hurry to finish math?
Thanks guys.
one more thing -- get enough sleep before the exam, a clear mind is important for maximum concentration
Can't log in? Do you want me to send you a new password or something at your gmail address?
Understand the logic. Learn the techniques. Remember the formulae. Practice methods of proving. Most important, hone your calculation skills and never forget the fundamental concepts.
I can't log in somehow, so ill just write it as a guest.

Educators/Coaches/Youth Workers: What You Can Do
The State Department of Education, in collaboration with The Jason Foundation and the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Disabilities, is pleased to offer a " no cost" web based staff development program.
Educators will benefit from this training because it is the right thing to do, it can help address possible liability issues, it will help you become pro active instead of re active, and because suicide is preventable.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for youth ages 15 to 24 and the fourth for ages 10 to 14 nationally. According to the 2005 Youth Risk Behavioral Survey in Tennessee, 1 out of 5 youth seriously considered suicide and 1 out of 11 made an attempt. Almost all young people who are contemplating suicide show clear signs before the attempt. If educators are trained to recognize these signs, we have a good chance to identify and help at risk youth.
One suicide changes the school, community and a myriad of family and friends. If teachers, parents and friends are all trained to recognize at risk behavior, we can provide a Triangle of Prevention that could help save lives. The State Department of Education along with The Jason Foundation believes that even the loss of one young life is too many and we must do all we can to prevent this senseless loss. Take this no cost opportunity to arm yourself with the tools and resources to make a difference.
Click here and you will taken to the online STAFF DEVELOPMENT in service. (http://www.jasonfoundation.com/life/tn/ )
The program run time is about 1 and ½ hours and is divided into 8 chapters for your convenience. You may stop and return later as your time permits. At the end of the program, you will be given a short assessment and a Certificate of Completion will be generated to your e-mail address. This is proof of completion of your training.
If you have problems with this site, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

85 is the maximum there Johnny
Of course. I'll change that. And you knew what I meant.
When it comes to season-opening games, there are two options: schedule a complete patsy or play a team that can actually beat you, which puts early pressure on the coach and the team. We'll try to mesh coach and team together in our preseason look-see at the SEC's most important openers.
Below you'll find our rankings of which SEC schools and coaches face the biggest, most pressure-packed opening games. They're ranked 13 to one, least important to most important (there's one conference game in the opening week). Attached to each game is a quick explanation of our views.
For the team, for the coach… here are the SEC's openers graded 13 to one.
13. Central Arkansas at Ole Miss — Hugh Freeze's first game at Ole Miss will come against an FCS school that even a depleted Rebel squad should best. Expectations are through the floor and a loss would just be blamed on Houston Nutt and the poorly-stocked cupboard he left for Freeze anyway. Very little pressure for Freeze or his Rebs in this one.
12. Texas A&M vs Louisiana Tech (Shreveport) — Kevin Sumlin's tenure won't be undone by his first game, either. New system, new quarterback, etc, etc. Plus, Louisiana Tech isn't a gimme in this neutral site affair. We rank this game as being more important than Freeze's opener simply because there's a chance that the Aggies could sneak into a bowl game this year. That would almost certainly require a win in their opener.
11. SE Louisiana at Missouri — Any coach losing to an FCS school would take heat, but Gary Pinkel is as snug as a bug in a rug after the job he's done in Columbia. And the odds of Mizzou dropping this one are pretty dang slim. If the Tigers do fall, you can bet it will because they will have had their minds on their Week Two matchup with Georgia instead of on their opener.
10. North Texas at LSU — Sure Les Miles went from hero to goat in some folks' minds following the BCS Championship Game loss to Alabama, but he's not going anywhere. Even with a loss to North Texas. We rank this game higher than the last three, though, because if by some miracle the alma mater of Mean Joe Greene does pull the upset of the century… the Tigers couldn't recover on the BCS front. Even winning the SEC likely wouldn't undo that kind of damage in the eyes of the voters and in the silicon chips of the computers.
9. Buffalo at Georgia — No, we don't expect Buffalo to go into Athens and beat Georgia. Not even with UGA having to give multiple walk-ons scholarships just to get over 70 for the season (85 scholarship players is the NCAA maximum). Still, we rank this one a bit higher because if the Dawgs did somehow lose, you can bet the howls for Mark Richt's noggin would begin anew.
8. Jackson State at Mississippi State — Clearly MSU should win this one. But. It's an in-state foe and Dan Mullen is entering Year Four after a disappointing Year Three. This is a "must step forward" year for Mullen and his Bulldogs. That makes their opener — even though it's against a sacrificial lamb — a little more important.
7. Bowling Green at Florida — See above. Instead of entering Year Four, Will Muschamp is beginning Year Two in Gainesville. After a 7-6 season in 2011, a home upset at the hands of Bowling Green would lead to plenty of hot seat talk in the Sunshine State… just 14 games into Muschamp's tenure. Would that be realistic or fair? Probably not. But you'd hear it just the same.
6. Jacksonville State at Arkansas — Every game is an audition for John L. Smith. Most believe he'll need to win the SEC West, the SEC overall, or even the BCS title in order to land the full-time Arkansas gig. And with talk of West, SEC, and BCS titles even being discussed, the fan reaction to a loss to Jacksonville State — and former Hog coach Jack Crowe — would be horrific.
5. Alabama vs Michigan (Arlington) — How can the biggest game in the country rank #5 on our list? Because Alabama could recover from a loss in its opener. Last year, the Tide lost midway through the season at home to an SEC West foe and still reached the BCS title game. If Michigan turns out to be a Top 10 team, the Tide could conceivably drop a close one to the Wolverines, run the table the rest of the way, and be right back in the thick of the BCS mix come December. Oh, and Nick Saban is as untouchable as any coach can be, too.
4. Auburn vs Clemson (Atlanta) — At some point, Tiger fans will demand that Gene Chizik's stellar recruiting classes start to deliver stellar wins on the field. Without Cam Newton around, that is. Entering Year Four, Chizik — like MSU's Mullen — needs to take a step forward. Clemson won't be an easy opener as the Tigers beat Auburn last year in South Carolina. With two new coordinators and new systems being unveiled in the Georgia Dome, this one could be very tricky for Chizik and his Tigers. He needs to get off on the right foot.
3. South Carolina at Vanderbilt — Technically, this is the only game that impacts the SEC's standings so it should be ranked #1, right? Wrong. Ask Carolina if their SEC-opening win over Georgia meant anything in the long run last year. The loser can recover. Steve Spurrier's job is secure and James Franklin is as popular as Taylor Swift in Nashville these days. This game ranks #3, however, because it will help to define two programs. Is South Carolina truly ready to run with the big boys of college football on a year-in, year-out basis? A loss to Vandy would tell the nation, "No." And is Franklin — who's making progress on the recruiting trail and in the PR department — ready to make progress on the field as well? Remember, Bobby Johnson was praised for losing a lot of close games with the Commodores, too. It's a big game, but not the biggest of the week.
2. Tennessee vs NC State (Atlanta) — We could go back and forth on these last two games. We put Tennessee in this slot because the Vols are expected to be better than Kentucky in 2012 (even though they lost to the Cats to close out 2011). If UT wins a football game in Atlanta for the first time since 1998, there could be an uptick in confidence and fun support. If they lose, the pressure will be great on Derek Dooley. Possibly so great that his season could spiral out of control. But — and it's a big but — a win over Florida in Knoxville just two weeks later could erase a loss to NC State. Thus, UT in the #2 spot.
1. Kentucky vs Louisville — Joker Phillips' seat is just a degree or two hotter than Dooley's because no one expects the Cats to show much improvement record-wise this season. Meaning he's more likely to get the axe at year's end. UK is a double-digit underdog to its cross-state rival and Big Blue fans already returned a couple thousand tickets for this game. Bad, bad, and bad. If Kentucky loses to Louisville, Phillips could still lead a revival, pull an upset, or beat Tennessee again. But the fans are so close to abandoning ship already — and his roster is so average at the moment — that it would likely be more difficult for UK to recover from an opening loss than it would be for UT. Thus Kentucky's opener gets the top slot on our countdown of the SEC's most important openers.
