Soft Structured Carriers
Boba Classic Baby Carrier
" This carrier is amazing. I got it just after my son turned 2 years old. I have been carrying him for just about a year. And we love it. He loves the back carry but we also do front carries for when he is tired. I am a very small mama. 105lbs 5'2". And this carrier is perfect for me. My son does not care too much for the foot straps, But they can be a good thing. I also use this carrier..." --Kasey Goodnough
Boba Carrier Organic 2G
" I couldn't rave enough about the Boba Carrier. I love it so, so much and my son adores it as well. The bad around the waist is so nice and large it makes it very comfortable, along with the straps and the part that goes around baby is so large, you can tell they feel nice and supported inside it, and it also makes for a perfect carrier for older babies. So if you have a tall, big baby like I..." --Ps Mamae
Babytrekker - Deluxe 5 position carrier
" I love my babytrekker. It's super comfy and once you figure it all out, I find it rather simple to use. My sons both seemed to feel comfortable in it and I was able to use it with my second boy from birth to a bit over 18 months with no issues. I'd have used it longer but I mostly use it to take walks and started letting him walk around with us a little after that and then I got preggo again..." --dayiscoming2006
BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original
" This is the carrier I used for small infants. It is the easiest to get them into and out of. I own two of the same ones, one for in the house and one for the car. Also good for babies who like to face outwards. Once the babies get bigger, though, the straps dig into your shoulders. It is great for easy, short trips like the grocery. " --nicolerenee515
Baby Bjorn Active Carrier
" Awful straps around the back, very uncomfortable. Dangling crotch area is obviously uncomfortable for baby as well. I hate it! " --Ps Mamae

Flowers make beautiful gifts, but ordering online isn't always pretty, according to a Consumer Reports survey about online shopping at big retail websites.
Consumer Reports asked more than 28,000 of of its subscribers about their experiences shopping at 52 of the largest retail websites.
Online florists 1-800-Flowers and FTD rated near the bottom.
"They had low marks or value, and there were lots of complaints about high shipping charges and customers having to wait longer than expected," said Consumer Reports' Tony Giorgianni.
Ticketmaster landed at the bottom of the ratings and got the lowest marks of all for customer support. Shoppers complained aboaut having to enter information repeatedly to purchase tickets.
"A good online retailer should offer great value, have good products and services, and deliver them on time. It also should have great customer support," Giorgianni said.
The highest rated sites were B&H Photo, Zappos, Costco, Nordstrom, L.L. Bean, NewEgg and REI.
REI was a standout with its guarantee that shoppers can return or replace items any time at the store or online. There's no expiration date.
Zappos also has a favorable return policy, giving customers a year to return something, and Zappos picks up the cost.
Shopping online can be convenient, but can lead to spam. Consumer Reports recommends setting up a separate e-mail address just for online purchases.

Liberal arts education
The liberal arts (Latin: artes liberales) are those subjects or skills that in classical antiquity were considered essential for a free person (a citizen) to know in order to take an active part in civic life. In Ancient Greece this included participating in public debate, defending oneself in court, serving on juries, and most importantly, military service (slaves and resident aliens were by definition excluded from the duties and responsibilities of citizenship). The aim of these studies was to produce a virtuous, knowledgeable, and articulate person. Grammar, rhetoric, and logic were the core liberal arts. During medieval times, when learning came under the purview of the Church, these subjects (called the Trivium) were extended to include the four other classical subjects of arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy (which included the study of astrology). This extension was called the Quadrivium, and these well defined subjects originated during classical times. Together the Trivium and Quadrivium constituted the seven liberal arts of the medieval university curriculum. In the Renaissance, the Italian humanists, who in many respects continued the grammatical and rhetorical traditions of the Middle Ages, rechristened the old Trivium with a new and more ambitious name: Studia humanitatis, and also increased its scope. They excluded logic and added to the traditional Latin grammar and rhetoric not only history, Greek, and moral philosophy (ethics), but made poetry, once a sequel of grammar and rhetoric, the most important member of the whole group.[1] The educational curriculum of humanism spread throughout Europe during the sixteenth century and became the educational foundation for the schooling of European elites, the functionaries of political administration, the clergy of the various legally recognized churches, and the learned professions of law and medicine.[2] The ideal of a liberal arts, or humanistic education grounded in classical languages and literature, persisted until the middle of the twentieth century.
In modern times, liberal arts education is a term that can be interpreted in different ways. It can refer to certain areas of literature, languages, philosophy, history, mathematics, psychology, and science.[3] It can also refer to studies on a liberal arts degree program. For example, Harvard University offers a Master of Liberal Arts degree, which covers biological and social sciences as well as the humanities.[4] For both interpretations, the term generally refers to matters not relating to the professional, vocational, or technical curricula.
In classical antiquity, the "liberal arts" denoted those subjects of study that were considered essential for a free person (Latin: liber, "free")[5] to master in order to acquire those qualities that distinguished a free person from slaves[citation needed] - the latter of whom formed the greater number of the population in the classical world. Contrary to popular belief, freeborn girls were as likely to receive formal education as boys, especially during the Roman Empire—unlike the lack of education, or purely manual/technical skills, proper to a slave.[6] The "liberal arts" or "liberal pursuits" (Latin liberalia studia) were already so called in formal education during the Roman Empire; for example, Seneca the Younger discusses liberal arts in education from a critical Stoic point of view in Moral Epistle 88.[7] The subjects that would become the standard "Liberal Arts" in Roman and Medieval times already comprised the basic curriculum in the enkuklios paideia or "education in a circle" of late Classical and Hellenistic Greece.
In the 5th century AD, Martianus Capella defined the seven Liberal Arts as: grammar, dialectic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. In the medieval Western university, the seven liberal arts were divided in two parts:[8][9]
- arithmetic
- geometry
- music
- astronomy, often called astrology; both modern senses were covered
Modern usage[edit]
Mathematics, science, arts, and language can all be considered part of the liberal arts.[citation needed] Some subsections of the liberal arts are trivium—the verbal arts: logic, grammar, and rhetoric; and quadrivium—the numerical arts: arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. Analyzing and interpreting information is also studied.
Academic areas that can be associated with the term liberal arts include:
School structure[edit]
The liberal arts education prepares the student for higher education at a university. They are thus meant for the more academically minded students. In addition to the usual curriculum, students of a liberal arts education often study Latin and Ancient Greek.
Some liberal arts education provide general education, others have a specific focus. (This also differs from country to country.) The four traditional branches are:
- humanities education (specialising in classical languages, such as Latin and Greek)
- modern languages (students are required to study at least three languages)
- mathematical-scientific education
- economical and social-scientific education (students are required to study economics, world history, social studies and business informatics)
Curricula differ from school to school, but generally include language, mathematics, informatics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, art (as well as crafts and design), music, history, philosophy, civics / citizenship,[10] social sciences, and several foreign languages.
Schools concentrate not only on academic subjects, but on producing well-rounded individuals, so physical education and religion or ethics are compulsory, even in non-denominational schools which are prevalent. For example, the German constitution guarantees the separation of church and state, so although religion or ethics classes are compulsory, students may choose to study a specific religion or none at all.
Today, a number of other areas of specialization exist, such as gymnasiums specializing in economics, technology or domestic sciences. In some countries, there is a notion of progymnasium, which is equivalent to beginning classes of the full gymnasium, with the rights to continue education in a gymnasium. Here, the prefix "pro" indicates that this curriculum precedes normal gymnasium studies.
In the United States[edit]
In the United States, liberal arts colleges are schools emphasizing undergraduate study in the liberal arts.[11] Traditionally earned over four years of full-time study, some universities such as Saint Leo University,[12] Pennsylvania State University,[13] Florida Institute of Technology[14] and New England College[15] have begun to offer an associate degree in liberal arts. Most students earn either[dubious ] a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science[citation needed][original research?] degree; on completing undergraduate study, students might progress to either a graduate school or a professional school (public administration, engineering, business, law, medicine, theology). The teaching is Socratic, typically with small classes, and often has a lower student-to-teacher ratio than at large universities; professors teaching classes are allowed to concentrate more on their teaching responsibilities than primary research professors or graduate student teaching assistants, in contrast to the instruction common in universities.[original research?][citation needed]
In Europe[edit]
Despite the European origin of the liberal arts college,[16] the term liberal arts college usually denotes liberal arts colleges in the United States. Only recently, some efforts have been undertaken to "re-import" liberal arts education to continental Europe, as with Leiden University College The Hague, University College Utrecht, University College Maastricht, Amsterdam University College, Roosevelt Academy (now University College Roosevelt), Bratislava International School of Liberal Arts, and the European College of Liberal Arts. As well as the colleges listed above, some universities in the Netherlands offer bachelors programs in Liberal Arts and Sciences (Tilburg University). In the United Kingdom, King's College London and University College London launched liberal arts programmes in 2012. It is the curriculum of Forman Christian College in Lahore, Pakistan for Bachelors, the only institute in the country which offers this program.
Liberal arts (as a degree program) is just beginning to establish itself in Europe. For example, University College Dublin offers the degree, as does St. Marys University College Belfast, both institutions coincidentally on the island of Ireland. In the Netherlands, universities have opened constituent liberal arts colleges under the terminology university college since the late 1990s. It has been suggested that the liberal arts degree may become part of mainstream education provision in the United Kingdom, Ireland and other European countries. In 1999, the European College of Liberal Arts (now Bard College Berlin) was founded in Berlin [17] and in 2009 it introduced a 4-year Bachelor of Arts program in Value Studies taught in English,[18] leading to an interdisciplinary degree in the humanities. In 2010 the University of Winchester introduced its Modern Liberal Arts[19] undergraduate program, the first of its kind in the UK. In 2012, University College London began its interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences BASc degree (which has kinship with the liberal arts model) with 80 students.[20] King's College London launched the BA Liberal Arts, which has a slant towards arts, humanities and social sciences subjects.[21] The New College of the Humanities also launched a new liberal education programme. The four-year Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences at University College Freiburg is the first of its kind in Germany. It started in October 2012 with 78 students.[22] The first Liberal Arts degree program in Sweden was established at Gothenburg University in 2011,[23] followed by a Liberal Arts Bachelor Programme at Uppsala University's Campus Gotland in the autumn of 2013.[24] The first Liberal Arts program in Georgia was introduced in 2005 by American-Georgian Initiative for Liberal Education (AGILE),[25] an NGO. In collaboration with AGILE, Ilia State University[26] became the first higher education institution in Georgia to establish a liberal arts program.[27]

Yes It always baffles me how my friends need to plan their mornings and evenings around getting coffee from the closest starbucks. They are wasting precious money and gas and time to inject their bodies with something that is essentially a replacement for sleep.
I refuse to drink coffee because I know it is addictive. I just plan my life around sleeping like a mature adult should - Not taking a shot of caffeine. Plus the more coffee you drink, the less your body responds to it - So you need to get the triple shot - Or start to drink in the morning , afternoon and evening just to feel 'normal'.
This entire argument from addiction is quite annoying. Anyone who has an addictive personality will find another substance to satisfy their craving.
I completely agree. Even tho on occasion the rhythm of life has placed coffee in my path, but rarely. Have you watched the documentary called Black Coffee? Amazing historical analysis of coffee and it's impact on the world.
I worked with "city" employees two summers ago and they spent insane amounts of time getting their coffee fix! It was completely alien to me!
My experience is considerably different on the caffeine front. It takes me well over a week of coffee/ caffeine drinking to experience any withdrawal symptoms, and those symptoms are only noticeable in the form of mild headaches for a day or two. When I was younger, I never had any issues at all.
I would never want marijuana legalized....
because at one point my resume read something like this:
"Sales Manager for a Party Bus. Activities included managing sales and promotional agents on the floor, actively recruiting new talent and constantly negotiating prices forproducts"
I have since retired.
Wonderful memories of the past aside, I wholeheartedly support legalization of weed (since I don't give a crap what the dealers now make...*grin*)

Wow! Terrific price and extremely prompt shipping. Furniture like this usually takes months to ship. Lovely textured mid-century fabric seems to have a bit of a silk shimmer woven in. Very elegant. I had ordered one set for my home office, and found they were so engaging and such a good price that I immediately went back to order more. Very disappointed they were out of stock. A couple weeks later was thrilled to see them back in stock again and promptly ordered 2 more sets for my dining room. The reason for only 4 stars and not 5 stars was on unpacking I noticed a chemical smell which disappeared after 2 days with windows open. The chestnut stained wood chair legs had little dings but you don't notice when chair is assembled. The legs screw super easily into a strong metal base underneath the seat but seemed to come loose with use at my desk on carpet. Found easy solution was to wrap plumbers tape around the screw part of the leg. They are now sturdy, comfortable and perfect. Very very pleased with purchase.
PROS: Great mid-century look for less than usual cost of pieces with this look/feel; seat is MUCH more comfortable than it may appear (sometimes you buy for form but in this case you won't sacrifice function); legs screw in easily but need more upper body strength than I have to be tightened sufficiently; seat section comes fully formed and only legs need to be added and they are ready for use. Product was described accurately and delivered faster than expected. Based on photo and reviews, purchased chairs for use with a teak table and I am very pleased at overall look and feel. Although I mentioned price, don't feel you are getting an inferior product because the pair doesn't carry the usual price of modern pieces. CONS: No feet or pads on bottom of legs so they can scratch wooden floors if you slide them instead of picking up before adding rubber or felt (small thing and does not detract from my overall rating - just something to be aware of). The leg hardware isn't the best but the chair feels sturdy, the upholstery is of reasonable quality (which was a pre-order concern) and the chair is really very supportive and comfortable.
The neutral color is what first drew me to the chairs. I knew a pair would be a great addition to my living room without making the space feel bulky. It may not look comfortable, but its shape just allows you to collapse in it. The armrests are the perfect size for anyone�s elbows.
I renovated my living room in a different and modern way. I was thinking about natural and minimalist design, so I ordered this great set of accent chairs. The neutral color, the great twill fabric chairs give the warmth and comfort I was thinking of. The classic look, the finesse of the wood and the great design make these chairs the perfect solution for comfort and elegance. I would definitely recommend these chairs to everyone, mostly as they are affordable and high quality.
Elegance, comfort, sophistication and style. These fantastic accent chairs combine all these characteristics. The chairs look amazingly elegant and their classic beauty bring freshness to the room. The pad of the chair is comfortable just as the tall backrest. The chairs were really easy to assemble once arrived so everyone who is afraid of assemble do not be, it is really easy.
the quality is not there. The fabric, though attractive, doesn't look like it will hold up. As another reviewer mentioned, there is silver colored metal at the tops of the legs which is evident. A knock-off that is much less expensive than the original, but I wouldn't purchase again.
We needed two midcentury chairs to sit side by side and these fit the need. Sturdy, comfortable and I am happy to picked them up. Have even gotten a few compliments on them.
I love these chairs. They are super stylish and super comfortable. Unbelievable price. Great quality. If you know good furniture, you'll be impressed. They are brown.
The quality is fairly indistinguishable from the much more expensive chairs on other websites. They are stylish, comfortable, and a breeze to assemble (legs get screwed on). The legs get loose over time, but a quick twist tightens them back up.
I don't write many reviews, but these chairs deserve one. They are gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for in my dining area. I knew I would love how they looked - but I had no idea they were so comfortable!!! We are using them in the great room of our home - and it's an added bonus that I can turn them around from the table and use them in the living room for added space. Gorgeous tweed look - super easy assembly (just screw the legs in). Love them!

The Bryan Symphony Orchestra at Tennessee Tech University opens the second half of its 50th anniversary season with a guest appearance by one of the country's most respected cellists, Mark Kosower of the Cleveland Orchestra.
The performance begins at 3 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 10, in TTU's Wattenbarger Auditorium. Tickets are $32 for adults and $27 for seniors 65 and up. Call 931-525-2633 for availability. The performance is sponsored by Robert and Julia Lowe and First Tennessee Foundation.
Kosower will perform Antonin Dvorak's haunting and emotional masterpiece "Cello Concerto in B Minor."
Work by Robert Schumann appears on the Bryan Symphony's upcoming program as well, with his deeply romantic "Overture, Scherzo and Finale in E Major." And with a nod to seasons past, the Bryan Symphony will perform the "Overture to Singin' Billy," written by BSO namesake Charles Faulkner Bryan and last performed by the BSO in 1992 during its 30th anniversary season.
Solo cellist with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra of Germany from 2006 until joining the Cleveland Orchestra in 2010, Kosower makes regular appearances as guest soloist with orchestras, both nationally and internationally, and two albums featuring his work have recently been released on the Naxos label. An Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, Kosower has appeared in the Great Performers series at Lincoln Center, at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and Juilliard String Quartet.
Kosower's appearance in February with the Bryan Symphony Orchestra is his third; in 2007, he performed the Shostakovich "Cello Concerto No. 1," and in 2003, at Music Director Dan Allcott's first concert with the BSO, Kosower performed the Schumann "Cello Concerto in A Minor."
During his stay in Cookeville, Kosower is also giving a recital as part of Tennessee Tech's CenterStage cultural programming. Admission is free for this performance, which begins at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 7, in Wattenbarger Auditorium.
Between now and the day after the concert, the Bryan Symphony Orchestra is hosting events in Cookeville and Crossville. Visit the BSO's web site at www.bryansymphony.org for a full schedule. Learn more about the Feb. 10 concert on "BSO Backstage" at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 3, and Thursday, Feb. 7. "BSO Backstage" is produced and hosted by Desiree Duncan and public television station WCTE-TV (Ch. 10 on Charter cable in Cookeville and Ch. 22 on Dish and Direct satellite).
The only professional symphony in Tennessee outside a metropolitan area in the state, the Bryan Symphony is celebrating its 50th anniversary during the 2012-2013 season. Learn more at www.bryansymphony.org.

KISS frontman Paul Stanley has slammed Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame co-founder and Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner as a "spineless weasel," claiming that the guitarist/vocalist and the rest of the band were treated like "uninvited guests" during Thursday night's (April 10) induction ceremony.
"Our treatment at the [Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame] confirmed my worst suspicions," Stanley fumed via Twitter. "Wenner and the rest are spineless weasels." He went on to say that the people behind the Rock Hall gave the members of KISS "no passes" or "schedule" for the evening, but didn't elaborate on what exactly he was referring to. He concluded: "We were great and [Wenner] remains a small man."
Stanley's bandmate, KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons, also took a couple of shots at Rolling Stone on Twitter, mocking the magazine's original critical review of LED ZEPPELIN's first album, writing "Rolling Stone. Idiots then. Idiots now." He then posted a link to a video from the early 1970s band CHRISTOPHER MILK, which featured John Mendelsohn, the writer who penned the negative reviews that appeared in Rolling Stone of each of the first two LED ZEPPELIN LPs.
Stanley ended his Hall Of Fame speech on Thursday by calling the evening "vindication" for the fans. He also took a dig at the Hall Of Fame by saying, "The people, I believe, are speaking to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and what they're saying is, 'We want more.' They deserve more. They want to be a part of the induction. They want to be a part of the nomination. They don't want to be spoon-fed by a handful of people. Choices. The people pay for tickets. The people buy albums. The people who nominate do not. Let's not forget that these are the people that make it all possible. We just benefit from it."
KISS did not perform at the ceremony — the Hall Of Fame wanted the original quartet only to play, while Simmons and Stanley insisted on the current lineup performing as well. In the end nobody won that battle.
The 29th annual Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony was taped and will air on May 31 on HBO.
Looking around online this morning I found this!
THis will be a hell of a good lineup!
Check it out!
According to Joe Perry, AEROSMITH will hit the road in the U.S. later this year with support from Slash and the former GUNS N' ROSES axeman's bandmates MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS — Myles Kennedy (vocals), Brent Fitz (drums), Todd Kerns (bass) and Frank Sidoris (guitar). Tickets will go on sale in the next few weeks.
AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler is reportedly working on a solo album, tentatively due later this year.
The AEROSMITH singer issued his first-ever solo song, called "(It) Feels So Good", in May 2011 while serving as a judge on "American Idol".
Slash and MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS recently entered the studio to record the third album under the solo Slash banner. The follow-up to 2012's "Apocalyptic Love" is being helmed by producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette, known for
Here is your Rockfest 2014 lineup!
Rember the Rockaholic presale starts Wednesday.
There will be a fee but the tickets are 25. When the Rockaholic presale is over the price goes to 45.
This is a perk for you! Save the cash and get them then!
See ya there!
Two weeks from today we let the cat out of the bag.
Got and good gueses as to who will be there this year?
I have to admit I am not a huge fan of award shows anymore. I guess it is because none of the bands I like win and the bands that do win really confuse me...
I did watch a bit last night and got to see Metallica with the classical guy.
Also the NIN, Butch Walker, and Dave Grohol piece was cool but other than a white kid winning best Rap award I was not supprised to see not many others I knew.
On a totally different note.... WHOS READY FOR ROCKFEST?
So I am not a huge ICP fan (Cotton Candy was the best stripper song ever) but I saw this on TMZ and could not help but share.
I have to side with ICP on this one.
Check it out!
The Insane Clown Posse is OUTRAGED the Federal Government has labeled their followers as a dangerous gang ... so now they've filed a lawsuit, demanding the Feds take back what they said.
ICP claims a 2011 FBI report -- which referred to Juggalos as a "loosely organized hybrid gang" -- wrongly characterizes their fans as violent lawbreakers ... and has led to unwarranted harassment of their fans by law enforcement.
In addition to ICP members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, several fans are also party to the suit, and they cite several examples during which they were allegedly subjected to such harassment.
One fan says he's been stopped multiple times by cops because of his ICP clothing. Another says he was forced to remove his Juggalo tattoos in order to enlist in the military.
ICP admits some of their fans have broken the law in the past, but they insist "it is wrong to designate the entire group of supporters as a criminal gang based on the acts of a few." During a news conference, Shaggy 2 Dope said, "We're not a gang. We're a family."
ICP says the FBI report violates their constitutional right to free speech as well as their right to associate with whoever they want. They want the Feds to stop with the gang talk once and for all.
Snooping around on line this morning and saw this.
I know they were planning on touring and a new record for '14 hope this does not slow it down.
Check it out.
SLIPKNOT has released the following statement:
"To our Maggots and fans around the world,
"It is with great pain but quiet respect that, for personal reasons, Joey Jordison and SLIPKNOT are parting ways. We all wish Joey the best in whatever his future holds.
"We understand that many of you will want to know how and why this has come to be, and we will do our best to respond to these questions in the near future.
"It is our love for all of you, as well as for the music we create, that spurs us to continue on and move forward with our plans for releasing new material in the next year. We hope that all of you will come to understand this, and we appreciate your continued support while we plan the next phase of the future of SLIPKNOT.
"Thank you, The 'KNOT"

Check it out for yourself!
HINDER have officially parted ways with their lead singer, Austin Winkler.
Earlier this year, Winkler left the band's national tour due to personal reasons. HINDER continued to tour with guest lead vocalists helping out, including Jared Weeks from SAVING ABEL.
"I'm really proud of what we accomplished over the years," says HINDER drummer (and songwriter/producer) Cody Hanson. "We hold no animosity towards Austin, and wish him the best. Although it was a difficult decision, it was the best thing for everyone involved and time for us to move on"
He continued: "This summer/fall tour was a tough one.
"We want to thank the fans for all their overwhelming support. We couldn't have made it through everything without you.
"We are very excited about the future of HINDER and can't wait to share the next chapter with all of you!"
HINDER apparently wanted "American Idol" season seven winner David Cook to fill in temporarily for Winkler this past summer. HINDER manager Kevin "Chief" Zaruk told The Hollywood Reporter, "David Cook was at the top of our list." He added that season 10's James Durbin was also in the running, saying, "We would've loved to have either, but the timing didn't work out."
Cook turned down the offer in order to continue to work on his own music, but was said to have been "very interested" in the gig.
Zaruk also confirmed that Winkler had entered rehab for the second time in his career, saying, "We just want him to get healthy and get happy."

First National Bank of Gilmer was organized in 1900 when its organizers bought out a private bank which was the first bank in Gilmer and had been in Gilmer about 5 years. Our first bank building was located on the west side of the Gilmer's town square, where it operated for nine years.
When the bank was organized, it had only two employees, L.R. Hall, who served as cashier, and an assistant cashier/bookkeeper. Mr. H.P. McGaughy served as the first president of the bank.
In 1909, the bank moved to a brick building on the square's north side, which served as First National Bank of Gilmer's home until 1981. The scare of 1914 is recalled as one of the bank's most difficult times. Even so, the bank's capital increased from the original $25,000 to $100,000 that year. First National Bank suffered along with others in 1929, but when the oil boom struck East Texas, the bank's profits mounted.

Taos Valley RV Park & Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Nice park, close to town, high desert landscaping. The park was attractive and pleasant. The concrete pads were in two pieces, instead of one rectangle. Our jacks didn't quite fit on the pads but straddled the pad and gravel. It was not a problem for us, but overall, not a great design. We would definitely go back.
Gunnison, Colorado
Palisades Senior RV Park (55+ park)
[ 9/10 ]
Great RV park, close to town. The managers are very helpful, friendly and welcoming. Lots of social activities: potlucks every Sunday, a lecturer for social hour every Wednesday, a stitching/crafts afternoon every Monday. Nice dog park where people socialize as well as the dogs! Most of the sites around the perimeter have mature trees; the rest have a grassy areas, picnic tables and newly planted trees. The park is very clean and the clubhouse is as well. We camped here for six weeks.
Buena Vista, Colorado
Valley RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
I agree with the other comments. The park is older but well maintained and the spaces are very large for an RV park. They do have some trailers but they are well maintained and the residents are nice. The park is very friendly. Great view of the mountains to the west. Close to town. We stayed here for two weeks.
Fruita, Colorado
James M. Robb-Colorado River State Park (Fruita Section)
[ 10/10 ]
This is one of our favorite parks in the West. We have been here four times, and each time we return, we have been delighted. The sites are spacious, widely spaced apart, and level. Most are pull-throughs and back-ins. Each has a shelter. The landscape is typical for the area and kind of scrubby but the grounds are extremely well kept and enhanced with plantings of lavender and other trees, shrubs and bushes. The park is on the Colorado River. The views of the Colorado National Monument are fabulous and we highly recommend the short drive to the Monument: which is a must see! The rangers are very friendly and helpful. Food shopping is just across the highway. We wish there were more parks like this one.
Visalia, California
Country Manor Mobile Home Community (55+ Park)
[ 8/10 ]
Stayed here while visiting Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon. This is a mobile home community with spaces available for RVs. There were not many trees or green spaces in the park but we had a nice, concrete, level spot with all the hookups. We used the laundry and it was very clean and inexpensive. The park is close to the highway and to a grocery store. The park employees were really wonderful and very helpful. It is about 60 miles to the parks. I would not recommend Highway 245 as it is extremely curvy and steep. There are better, alternate routes.
Salina, Utah
Butch Cassidy RV Park and Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Small park with many permanent resident campers. The staff is friendly and helpful. The sites for travelers are gravel and level. Very good stopping off point for a night or two. Park also has a colorful aviary, wandering chickens and rabbits. Unusual but quite pleasant.
Bishop, California
Highlands RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Nice, clean park on the north end of town. The pads are paved and level. Our spot had no trees so it was very hot in the afternoon, but many of the other spaces had shade. (Daytime temperatures were in the 100 plus range while we were there.) But Bishop is a great place to visit and this is a nice park.
Castaic, California
Valencia Travel Village
[ 10/10 ]
The park was very clean, attractive, and well kept. The swimming pools (one for adults and one for children) and hot tub were great. We travel with two golden retrievers. They had a very nice dog play area and lots of space to walk around. The staff was very nice and friendly. They have a lot of long-term guests. Overnight and short term travelers are kept together, near the front and close to all of the facilities. We were visiting with our daughter in Santa Monica and did not want to drive into LA with the coach. This was a perfect spot to meet.
Kingman, Arizona
Fort Beale RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Very nice, small RV park on the west side of town. It is close to the highway but not very noisy. There is a train that runs through town and you can hear it at night in the distance. The park was exceptionally clean and well kept. Most of the pull-through spaces have a small tree, well-trimmed, for shade and a nice picnic table. There is a pool.

Detroit Lions 2013 Offseason Preview
SI.com is laying out offseason road maps for all 32 teams as they start their journey for the Lombardi Trophy -- two teams per day, from the teams that need the most work to contend in 2013 to the ones that are in pretty good shape. See them all.
2012 Record: 4-12
Key Pending Free Agents: Cliff Avril (DE), Gosder Cherulis (RT), Louis Delmas (S), Justin Durant (LB), Jason Hanson (K), Chris Houston (CB), DeAndre Levy (LB), Corey Williams (DT)
List of Draft Picks (pending compensatory picks): 1 (5), 2 (36), 3 (68), 5 (130), 6 (163), 7 (195)
Available Cap Space: $5 million
GM/Coaching moves made (if any): Fired special teams coach Danny Crossman; hired special teams coach John Bonamego, running backs coach Curtis Modkins, tight ends coach Bobby Johnson
On the heels of a surprising 2011 playoff berth, the Lions started a disappointing 1-3 in 2012. They bounced back, however, to pull even at 4-4, with a strong stretch that included a win over Russell Wilson and the Seahawks.
Then, the roof caved in.
Detroit lost its final eight, including five straight at home -- with the nail in the playoff-hopes coffin coming on Thanksgiving Day, as Ndamukong Suh "accidentally" kicked Houston quarterback Matt Schaub and Jim Schwartz cost his team a touchdown with an errant challenge. Three weeks after that holiday debacle, the Lions rolled over in a 38-10 loss to an Arizona team coming off a 58-0 setback at Seattle's hands.
The Lions' collapse occurred despite the incomparable efforts of wide receiver Calvin Johnson, who set a new NFL single-season receiving record by racking up 1,964 yards. Not surprisingly, he earned a Pro Bowl bid (though he withdrew from the game) and an All-Pro nod. His quarterback, Matthew Stafford, finished the year just 33 yards shy of 5,000 and was named a Pro Bowl alternate.
Still, the Lions' offense suffered through some frustrating droughts, as the franchise searched far and wide to find a complement for Johnson. Fellow receiver Nate Burleson wound up on injured reserve with a broken leg, while Titus Young's selfish antics eventually led to his release. Detroit also again struggled to generate any sort of run game, and the defense continued to be an Achilles' heel -- the Lions finished 23rd in rush offense and 27th in points allowed.
4,927. The Lions' passing yardage total, good for second in the league (though it's actually less than what Stafford threw for, due to sacks). Only New England (4,997) picked up more yards through the air.
The obvious choice is Johnson, off the heels of a season for the ages.
But the Lions have a pretty good thing going at defensive tackle, too, where Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley showed the potential to be the dynamic duo up front that this team covets. Suh and Fairley combined for 14 sacks and 50 QB hurries (per Pro Football Focus).
The Lions have drafted so their defense is built around its interior lineman -- both Suh and Fairley were first-round picks. So, though upwards of a dozen Detroit defenders could hit free agency this year, Jim Schwartz can rest easy knowing that he has Suh and Fairley as building blocks.
45. The number of combined sacks, hits and hurries Stephen Peterman gave up, most of any guard in the league
The Lions set about trying to remedy that situation by cutting Peterman (along with veteran DE Kyle Vanden Bosch), days after Super Bowl XLVII. There are two potential replacements on the roster: Bill Nagy, who spent the season on injured reserve but should be healthy next season; and 2012 first-round pick Riley Reiff. Detroit has to find somewhere for Reiff to play, though with Gosder Cherulis up for free agency and Jeff Backus contemplating retirement, he may have to inherit a tackle spot.
Would the Lions consider using a draft pick here? No. 5 overall might be high to nab Chance Warmack, but someone like Warmack's teammate Barrett Jones in Round 2 makes sense.
1. Try to fix the run game (again). Mikel Leshoure showed some glimpses of potential in 2012, as did unheralded backup Joique Bell. Both should be back next season, but the Lions are no longer counting on Jahvid Best to return from multiple concussions. That means this team badly needs to find a home-run threat out of the backfield. When healthy, Best added a dynamic that defenses had to account for -- something neither Leshoure nor Bell really brings to the table.
2. Rebuild the defense. Easy, right? Last year, the Lions brought back 21 of 22 starters; this time around, they face the possibility of needing to replace eight starters on defense alone. All three levels of the defense need help, especially the secondary, where Chris Houston, the Lions' lone reliable cornerback, could bail in free agency.
3. Improve the special teams. Jason Hanson has yet to announce if he'll be back for a 22nd season. Even if he does, the Lions have to get better in the return game (Stefan Logan won't be re-signed) and must find a punter (Nick Harris was awful in 2012).
There will be a lot of new faces in Detroit when training camp rolls around, beginning with at least two or three draft picks that the Lions expect to step in and start immediately.
Detroit has a little wiggle room under the cap but not enough to be major players -- a fact that might lead to Avril's departure for more money than Detroit can give him. The Lions have to stretch that cash over a number of areas, but 2013 may see a roster filled with guys trying to prove themselves.
The Lions will head into the summer as a high-upside, relatively unpredictable commodity. Stafford, Johnson and Detroit's passing attack will be enough to keep this team in most games, but will the offensive line hold up? Will the run game improve? Who will join Suh, Fairley and Stephen Tulloch in the defense's starting 11?
Even with high picks in the draft's first three rounds, the Lions probably will not know those answers until late in camp.

As a sixth-grade teacher, Ben Gott was looking for a graduate program to fit his schedule and offer courses that would enhance his educational experience and that of his students. The American Studies Program filled that need.
Ben took a course with Dr. Peter Bayers and submitted a paper on the all-black "singing Westerns" of Herb Jeffries, which was included at the Western Literature Association's 2013 conference, in Berkeley, California.
On March 8, Ben was a part of a panel presentation at the American Studies Conference held at Fairfield University. Thanks, in part, to Ben, the conference was a huge success.
Ben Gott, a middle school teacher and dean, chose Fairfield's American Studies graduate program to take his teaching to a whole new level.

Credit Analysts Not Worried About Pullback at D/FW
DFW Airport officials say the problems 'aren't that bad.'
Dec. 17--As Dallas/Fort Worth Airport officials are stressing over the financial plight caused by American Airlines' announced pullback of flights this week, airport credit analysts said the problems aren't that bad.
"At this point, we're watching the developments with the Wright Amendment and American's response," said Peter Stetler, senior director of Fitch Ratings, which grades D/FW's ability to pay off its $3.8 billion debt as an A+. "At the short term, we don't think it has any immediate effect on the airport. ... American is going to stay largely on the hook for the cost of D/FW at this point, even if it does shift the flights."
Fort Worth-based American told airport officials in a letter Tuesday that it would drop 31 flights to 13 cities. American said it cut the "lower performing routes" to shift airplanes to Dallas Love Field and compete with Dallas-based Southwest Airlines on newly legal routes to Missouri. Starting March 2, American will add 16 departures from Love.
Beginning in February, American's winter schedule at D/FW will gradually drop by 6 percent to 484 daily flights.
Laura MacDonald, a credit analyst at Standard & Poor's, said American's reduction is not too much of a concern because it's small compared with the carrier's overall number of flights at D/FW.
"It adds pressure to D/FW in terms of their costs, especially at a time when they've opened a new terminal and Delta has pulled out," MacDonald said. "It's clearly not a positive development. If it leads to more states, then it's more of a cause for concern."
Kevin Cox, chief operating officer at D/FW, said in a prepared statement Tuesday that the pullback served as a "solemn and ominous warning" to anyone who wants to open Love Field to more flights. "These are very real and serious economic consequences for all of North Texas."
Cox said in a phone interview Friday that he wasn't trying to indicate that the airport won't be able to pay off its debt because of American's pullback.
"Is it going to make us not competitive? No," Cox said. "We will continue to pay our bills, and we'll work to try to attract traffic. What it does have is an immediate impact on concessionaires." In the airport's last fiscal year, which ended in September, concessions sales netted D/FW $33 million, its third-highest revenue source.
Cox disagreed with credit analysts, saying that the cutback is significant.
For comparison, he said it would be like shutting down all passenger flights out of airports in Amarillo or Lubbock, or cutting in half the service at Oklahoma City's airport.
"When people sit there and go 'It's only 31 flights,' they don't appreciate what 31 flights represents," he said. "People would kill to get 31 flights."
