I just went and re-qualified the other day after just having gotten my new High Noon Side Guard in the mail a couple days before. The holster was really stiff and I was having a hard time drawing. Needless to say I passed and everything was great. Anyway, I went home that night and emptied my gun and practiced my draw for a few minutes to try and loosen the holster up a bit. When I finished I put the gun away and went to bed. The next morning strapped on the holster and went to work. Got through about half the day when I realized I had not reloaded the gun and had left the magazine at home. My holster and gun spent the rest of the day locked up in the office all alone, and I felt naked.
I have to say I am really impressed with the High Noon holster thus far, and since this happened it has loosened up significantly. I did order it rush because I am incredibly impatient, and it got to me before I even thought to check to see if I had received a shipping notice. Great service and the holster still had that freshly lacquered smell!

Love Maui-haven't been in almost 9 years, I think it's time again! Enjoy!
Question for you. So I'm looking to buy a new dining table/chairs. My floors are very similar to yours in color and I'm wondering what color dining table would look best in there? Do I go dark like floors or lighter to switch it up? The room has wainscoting/box beam ceiling/wrapped columns all in white and light gray walls. And my kitchen is white cabinets/white quartz. I'm not wanting to put a rug under the table because my 3 little boys are incredibly messy eaters. Any suggestions would be appreciated. THANK YOU!!!

Love your latest blog update, your style is very much like mine. We're planning a trip to hawaii and if it's ok, where did you stay and would you recommend it? Thanks.

Anonymous - thank you! We stayed at the Westin in Ka'anapali. Would definitely recommend it! We are owners (time share) and I'm not sure if non owners can stay at this particular Westin or not. I'd recommend most places in Ka'anapali though. Great location - just beautiful!

Hi Danielle!
I would go lighter with the table! I think if the legs are the same color as the floor with no rug it will all blend too much. Lighter will stand out! My kids are messy eaters too and I'm looking at indoor/outdoor rugs! Easy to wipe up spills. :) Hope that helps!
Taryn - you are too sweet. Thank you!

Inaugural Champlain Area Trails Grand Hike May 3
Champlain Area Trails' Grand Hike May 3
Though both my children are enthusiastic hikers, not much can easily pry my teenager out of bed for an early start. Nothing that is, except the promise of a second breakfast that doesn't require him to cook or clean up. He compares the Champlain Area Trails (CATS) 14-mile Westport Inn to Essex Inn hike to a sandwich. I'm guessing that the bread is breakfast at the beginning of the walk and the block party dinner at the end, while the meat in the middle is hiking with our puppy.
According to CATS Board Chairperson Katharine Preston leashed dogs are always welcome on CAT trails. The May 3rd Inn to Inn event will be no different. » Continue Reading.

DEC Plan:
Amend Jay Mtn Wilderness Management Plan For Mining
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) says it submitted a proposed amendment to the 2010 Jay Mountain Wilderness Unit Management Plan (UMP) on Wednesday to the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) in an attempt to change the UMP to be consistent with the constitutional amendment approved by voters in November 2013 that permits, in the words of a DEC press release, "exploratory sampling" on the state-owned wilderness area in the Town of Lewis, Essex County. » Continue Reading.
Hiking Hamlet to Hamlet: Wadhams to Essex
Acting on its vision of people hiking on trails between local communities, Champlain Area Trails (CATS) is hosting a hamlet-to-hamlet hike this Sunday, October 13 between Wadhams and Essex.
"CATS' goal is to have hiking trails that link our communities so people can enjoy the Champlain Valley's amazing landscape and patronize businesses in our hamlets," said Chris Maron, CATS executive director in a statement sent to the press. "To recognize our progress and have a fun Columbus weekend activity, we're hosting this hike that will start at Dogwood Bakery and end at Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness on Main Street in Essex where refreshments will be available." » Continue Reading.
Artist Sheri Amsel Creates Champlain Valley Map
The artist Sheri Amsel has created a beautiful map of the Champlain Valley with illustrations of the region's wildlife and habitats. It also shows the region's many hiking trails. I suppose a hiker could fold it and put it in a backpack, but I'll bet more people will frame it and put in on their wall.
Amsel, a resident of the town of Essex, made the map to draw attention to the natural history and beauty of the valley. "I think the Champlain Valley is an untapped resource," she said.
The 24-by-37-inch map shows roads, hiking trails, lakes, wetlands, peaks, boat launches, fishing-access spots, and state campgrounds in the Champlain region between Ticonderoga and Willsboro Point. The map differentiates between dirt and paved roads. The trails are numbered and cross-referenced in a table that names the trails and gives the hiking distances. Although the map can be used for planning trips, for serious hikes, you should pack a topographical map. » Continue Reading.
CATS Protects 319 Acres in Willsboro
The owners of 319 acres of farmland and woods in the Champlain Valley have taken steps to protect the property in perpetuity and open it to the public for hiking and cross-country skiing.
Dick and Leanna DeNeale donated a conservation easement on their property to Champlain Area Trails (CATS), a nonprofit organization that has created twenty-three miles of hiking trails in the Champlain Valley since 2009. » Continue Reading.
The Emancipation Anniversary: A Local Grassroots Victory
What follows is a guest essay by Peter Slocum, a volunteer and board member with the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association, based in Ausable Chasm.
Almost lost in the recent "Fiscal Cliff" spectacle was the anniversary marking one of the major positive milestones of our history — President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
On January 1, 1863, some 3 million people held as slaves in the Confederate states were declared to be "forever free." Of course, it wasn't that simple. Most of those 3 million people were still subjugated until the Union Army swept away the final Confederate opposition more than two years later. And slavery was not abolished in the entire United States until after the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution passed in 1865.

Adirondack Family Activities: Haunted Halloween Fests
My family puts a lot of time into children's Halloween costumes. It seems that my kids start planning the next year's theme the moment they take off the previous year's getup. They continue to use those costumes in an ever growing and more sophisticated dress-up bin. Though most scary Halloween events may not be for the very young, we look for opportunities that entertain a wide variety of ages where we can showcase the new costumes.
In the Champlain Valley, the Lakeside School at Black Kettle Farm in Essex has a wonderful treat planned. Award winning author and illustrator Steven Kellogg will be onsite from 10:30 am – 12:30 pm on October 20th. Adults and children alike will enjoy Kellogg's storytelling as he draws on an oversized drawing pad, quickly sketching one of his stories through a series of vignettes. » Continue Reading.
High Peaks Happy Hour: Old Dock House, Essex
Inspiration for this review called for Jimmy Buffett and a bold Hawaiian shirt. Unseasonably hot pre-summer 90-degree temperatures set the tone for the outdoor bar at the Old Dock House Restaurant and Marina, lakeside in Essex. As we picked our way along the walkway from the parking lot, the sight of a small boat, built into the structure, had us humming the theme from Gilligan's Island as we approached the cheerful barn red building. » Continue Reading.
High Peaks Happy Hour: Essex Inn, Essex
The town of Essex has a coastal New England charm, from the centuries old brick homes and diagonal street parking, to the waterfront buildings in colors to rival the Atlantic coast. The Essex Inn, grand in comparative scale to the federal and Greek revival style architecture that defines the hamlet, is the centerpiece of Essex. With a full-length front porch, imposing white columns and freshly painted yellow siding, the Essex Inn's cheerful facade is warm and inviting.
Management of the 200-year-old Essex Inn was undertaken by Gladys and Josh Archer in 2010 after it was meticulously renovated and restored in a year-and-a-half-long process by Rick and Karen Dalton, who initially purchased it to house the College for Every Student (CFES) organization. » Continue Reading.
Dave Gibson: Wilderness is not a 'Special Interest'
Ed Zahniser is the son of Howard and Alice Zahniser (Howard was chief author and lobbyist for the National Wilderness Preservation Act of 1964), and Ed's essay "Wilderness and our Full Community of Life" is now on the Adirondack Wild: Friends of the Forest Preserve website. It was written as a public address, but also stands on its own as an exciting piece of writing.
Re-reading Ed's presentation gives me goosebumps because it ties together so much of the human experience. As he makes clear, wilderness is not about natural resource management, ecology, or Adirondack State Land Master Plan guidelines, as important as those are to keeping and restoring of wild places through the management of human use. As Ed says, wildness causes us to think about right relationships with the broader community of life.
To see wilderness is to see ourselves, as his father Howard Zahniser described it, as "dependent members of an interdependent community which gains its energy from the sun." It is "where we feel most keenly our interdependence with all life." Most keenly. We can feel also this in our backyards, in our parks, in our guts after a rich meal. But wild places are set aside in law to help us to come face to face with this interdependence in a very real way.
Thinking about what that word interdependence means leads one to recognize how little we know about the land as a whole community of life, not dissected under the microscope, but connected to us. Ed compares the Hubble Space Telescope looking at galaxies spiraling outwards with soil layers and organisms spiraling downwards. If there was ever a "4 G network," it is in the soil. It is even in the teaming mites and bacterial life on our heads! Towards the end of her life, my mother thought wildness was coming a bit too close to our house, as foxes and deer moved ever closer as the result of a kind of re-wilding going in the neighborhood. Well, it turns out wilderness was always that close – even closer.
Experience with the wild really is a humbling experience, and that humility is critical to our Christian traditions as well. Ed traces today's wilderness ethic to many biblical stories and traditions, to Christ himself wandering in the desert, and the spiritual purification, and the finding of "right relationships" to man and the universe which many people have found there.
One of those humbling days for me was in the Split Rock Wild Forest near Essex and Lake Champlain. Gary Randorf led Ken Rimany and me on a ski trip there with six inches of powder on top of an icy crust. Gary flew uphill; we edged our way up, slipping constantly. From white and red pine plantations, we moved into mixed hardwood forest and occasional glades of hemlock, and then scrub oaks and red cedar near the cliff face above Champlain. Huffing and puffing (Gary was resting easy); we watched bald eagles circling, meeting in mid-air, their talons hooked together in an aerial spiral. A raven checked on the eagles. The sky above was a deep blue. Wow. What a wild moment.
We headed into a deep ravine, following the sun in its southern arc to Champlain's Barn Rock Bay. Gary explained that here huge rock ballast was cut and slid on great bridges and docks into waiting ships. We tried to comprehend, and all we saw was thick hemlock above us. Here another of our great human enterprises was swallowed up by the unmoved, unimpressed earth organism. Knowing what was once here and how many people sweated, or bled to create this enterprise is an exercise in humility. Now, animal tracks, mouse, deer, bobcat accompanied our ski tracks up the ravine, as we scrambled after Gary, finding him again after a wonderful swoosh back to the parking lot.
Fundamental to Ed's essay, then, is that wilderness is not a special interest, but part of a core interest in the human condition which is constantly seeking "right relationships" with others and with communities, human and more than human. Protection of wilderness is part of a broad movement which included women's suffrage and civil rights, and today's struggle to spread economic justice and opportunity and the search for spiritual meaning in our lives. Ed, like his parents, has read widely and thought laterally as well as deeply about these matters. His presentation connects us, lessens the divides between us and our worlds. Enjoy it.

Adirondack Family Activities: Diane Chase: Author/Illustrator Steven Kellogg
By Diane Chase, Adirondack Family Activities ™
Children of all ages are most likely familiar with one of the over 100 children's books illustrated by Steven Kellogg. If you are one of the few unfamiliar with his work the opportunity to right such a travesty is at hand.
Children's book author/illustrator Steven Kellogg will be in Essex this Saturday along with University of Vermont history lecturer Andy Buchanan to celebrate the holidays with a narration of The Incredible History of Samuel de Champlain's Cat and Kellogg's book, The Island of Skog.
Starting at 4:00 p.m. on December 18th, this benefit for the North Country Society for the Prevention of the Cruelty to Animals (NCSPCA) will be held at Whallonsburg Grange Hall.
"Steven is a generous supporter of the shelter," explains Margaret Reuther, President of the Board of Directors for the NCSPCA. "There will be a reading with Andy Buchanan loosely based on the history of Samuel de Champlain's cat. Steven and Andy wrote it together. It is wonderful. Steven is glorious drawing on the spot. We had done a similar event in the summer and it turned out so well that we thought it would be wonderful to do another near Christmas. One of our goals for the organization is to gain positive feelings for our shelter. We also hope to raise some much needed money."
In the second part of the evening's activities, Kellogg will again be illustrating on the spot while retelling his popular book The Island of Skog. The drawings created onsite will be part of a Silent Auction. Kellogg is also donating 50% of the sale of two of his books, And I Love You and The Island of Skog to the animal shelter. Both of which can be personally autographed at the event. Cider and cookies will be served and all proceeds will benefit the NCSPCA.
"The North Country SPCA is the only animal shelter for all of Essex Country, one of the largest counties for New York State," says Reuther. "Each year we care for over 400 homeless, abandoned and abused cats and dogs. We have an amazing staff that works extraordinarily hard to give loving care to these cats and dogs," says Reuther. "We give medical care to the animals. We spay and neuter. Our goal is to find a loving family for each and every animal. We are also a no kill shelter. We welcome volunteers. We encourage everyone to come and visit."
Reuther explains that some volunteers have a specific routine and spend a few hours a week walking dogs or cleaning cat cages. Other volunteers may show up sporadically and help out where they are needed.
"We love volunteers," say Reuther. "We have people that will come and walk the dogs and foster the cats. Our shelter manager, Pam Rock, is truly extraordinary so anyone interested should call and talk with her. We even have teenage volunteers that will show up after school. It is a great way to help out."
Reuther understands that not everyone is able to have a pet. Volunteering at the NCSPCA is an opportunity for families and young children to see the level of care necessary for keeping an animal. Allowing children to assist with these homeless animals will help them grow into responsible pet owners.
"I know one family that has been coming with their eight-year-old child every Sunday to walk dogs," Reuther explains. "We also have an older couple that do not have a dog but they travel frequently so they come two or three times a week. It is a wide gamut of people. "
The organization does there best to care for "surrendered" animals. Reuther admits the task seems endless. She briefly mentions how the NCSPCA is overflowing with cats. There are no New York State laws pertaining to cats. There are dog control officers but nothing for cats. She encourages people to contact Pam at the shelter whether they have to give up a family pet or have found a stray.
So perhaps all the holiday shopping isn't yet complete or one more gift can be squeezed into that stocking. Adopting a pet isn't the only option to help out animals in need this season. To enjoy the reading and watch Kellogg ply his craft live, the NCSPCA asks for a donation of $5.00 per adult while children under 12 are free.

Champlain Bridge Business Assistance Center Established
The Albany regional Small Business Development Center (SBDC), an affiliate of the University at Albany's School of Business, is establishing the Champlain Bridge Business Assistance Center, an "emergency outreach office" to assist small businesses that have been adversely affected by the closing and demolition of the Champlain Bridge. The Center opened Feb. 18, at 3259 Broad Street in Port Henry.
The Champlain Bridge Business Assistance Center will help interested business owners plan how to transition and maintain the viability of their businesses during construction of the new bridge. The SBDC, along with strategic partners, will offer assistance to dislocated workers who cannot afford the long commute around Lake Champlain to jobs in Vermont and may be interested in starting a business. The Albany SBDC is collaborating with the North Country SBDC located at SUNY Plattsburgh to provide staff for the counseling and outreach efforts.
Services offered will include assessment of impact, identification of NYS Champlain Bridge Relief Programs, application assistance for these programs, market research, cost analysis/financial management, identifying sources of capital and business growth strategies.
The bridge, which crossed Lake Champlain between Crown Point, NY and Chimney Point, VT, was demolished in December, cutting off a vital connection. Construction of a new bridge is expected to be complete in late summer 2011.
The SBDC program is funded through the Small Business Administration, New York State, and the State University of New York.
Top Mountains of Initial Ascent for Adirondack Forty Sixers
As many know, Adirondack Forty-Sixers, or just Forty-Sixers, are people who have climbed the 46 mountains of New York State traditionally considered to be at least 4,000' in elevation. Membership numbers took nearly a half century to grow from the club's first recorded member on June 10, 1925 to 1,000 in 1974. Since then, numbers have increased dramatically to 6,385, according to the Forty-Sixer website's last roster update. Perhaps you too have contemplated exploring the peaks but don't know where to begin. A good guidebook and some research help, but footprints from the past may also serve as a guide.
Numbers based on the membership roster yielded the four most popular peaks for first ascent:
1. 1,370 or 21.5% people began with Marcy.
2. 1,097 or 17.2% began with Cascade.
3. 593 or 9.2% began with Algonquin.
4. 588 also about 9.2% began with Giant.
Cascade is the most conservative choice for those unsure about their performance over an extended distance. It's still a challenge with a five-mile round trip covering 2,000' elevation gain. Porter Mtn. sits alongside and can be added to the day for a minimum of effort. Giant is a rugged and unrelenting round trip of a bit over five miles from Chapel Pond. Elevation gain is over 3,000' vertical. A side venture to Rocky Peak Ridge can add another high peak to the day, but costs a good bit more in effort. Algonquin jumps to an eight-mile roundtrip over about 2,400' in ascent. A side spur ascent up Wright or trek over Boundary to Iroquois can make the Algonquin trip either a double or triple header high peak day with multiple choices for descent. Marcy weighs in at about fifteen miles in total with over 3,100' vertical. Various other destinations can be added if you're particularly fit and up for the challenge.
All four choices boast open summits with stunning 360 degree views. Marcy is 5,344' in elevation and overlooks a large percentage of the high peaks being the highest and nearly centered in the grouping. Cascade climbs to 4,098' with views of Whiteface to the north and most of the peaks from the McIntyre Range over to Big Slide. Algonquin is the second Highest Peak at 5,114' and is placed a bit to the west. It offers views of numerous mountains including the remote Wallface, Marshall and Iroquois as well as a breathtaking view of Mt. Colden's incredible slide array down to Avalanche Lake. Giant is aptly named at 4,627' and delivers views spanning from Lake Champlain and beyond as well as the Dix Range to the east. Each peak is equally rewarding.
So, in deciding how to begin, it's nice to reflect upon past statistics as well as current sources. Once you've wet your feet on Adirondack trails, perhaps you'll have a taste for more explorations and even more difficult challenges. Stay "tuned" for more on the High Peaks, including one of several ways to accumulate over 10,000 vertical feet in a day hike.
Adirondack Music Scene: Bluegrass, Musicals, Folk and a Brass Quintet
Starting tonight at the Waterhole in Saranac Lake, The Route 73 Back Porch Society is playing. The show starts early during the Art Walk which runs from 4:30-7 pm. I'm sorry to say I haven't heard these folks yet but from what I've been seeing they play around quite a bit. I love their name and I'm looking forward to the day I catch up with them.
The Horseshoe Lounge Playboys are doing a little Adirondack tour and you can see them in 3 separate locales. On Friday they will be in Elizabethtown at the Cobble Hill Inn. On Saturday they will be at The Waterhole and on Sunday they will be in Old Forge for The Lake Front Concert Series – the show starts at 7 pm.
On Friday in Essex, After Five Brass will be performing at 7:30 pm. This is part of the Essex Community Concert Series. These concerts are held in the Community Church and are followed by refreshment and a chance to meet with the performers. There is a $10 cover.
Also on Friday in Tupper Lake at P2's Aiseiri is playing Irish music starting at 7:30 pm. It's a good place to have a pint and enjoy some tunes. These are the folks who are putting on the Irish Festival Labor Day Weekend in Lake Placid.
Starting Friday, in North Creek on Route 28 the Upper Hudson Bluegrass Festival is on! There are so many acts that it's important to check out the line up on their webpage, I'm listing just a few. It looks to be a pretty big deal with plenty of camping space. Starting at noon numerous bands play throughout the day including Don't Quit Your Day Job and The Warren County Ramblers continuing until 10 pm. Saturday starts at 9 am. The White Mountain Bluegrass Band is in the line up of the day, the founders of that group have been dubbed "Pioneers of Bluegrass" by IBMM. The Seth Sawyer Band is also on deck this weekend and the few YouTube videos I checked out were pretty nice – I'd like to see this band. Saturday ends with Tim Graves Band and Cherokee who start at 10 pm. and Sunday starts nice and early with a gospel sing at 8:30 am and finishes up with Smokey Greene from 4:30 until 5:15 pm.
I also want to mention that a performance of Smokey Joe's Cafe starts Friday at The Depot Theatre in Westport. It will run thru September 6th with some special ticket price evenings (this Monday for instance) look at their website for details. The revue consists entirely of Lieber and Stoller's music – approximately 35 pop standards. I saw it on Broadway many years ago and was amazed at how many of the songs I not only recognized but could sing a long with.
At noon on Saturday in Lake Placid the LPCA presents the musical The Princess and The Pea. 50 children form the area will be part of this Missoula Children's Theatre.
On Saturday in Lake Clear at Charlies Inn, local favorite, Steve Borst will be playing starting at 6:30pm.
In Jay on the 23rd Roy Hurd, Frank Orsini and Meadow are going to be presented by JEMS. Roy and Frank are seasoned performers and true Adirondack favorites. Meadow is Roy's daughter – they sing beautiful harmonies together.

Great Camps to Skyscrapers: Architecture of Robert H. Robertson
Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) is presenting a free lecture Monday, August 17, 2009 at 7 p.m. at the Essex Community Church, in Essex. "From Great Camps to Skyscrapers: Rediscovering the Remarkable Architecture of Robert H. Robertson," will be presented by Daniel Snydacker, Ph.D., executive director, Pequot Library, Southport, CT, and architectural historian.
Robert H. Robertson, the architect of Camp Santanoni, and Shelburne Farms in Vermont, was born in Philadelphia in 1849 and did his training with other, well-known American architects. He did not go to Europe to study at schools such as Les Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris as did his contemporaries Richard Morris Hunt and others. This non-academic training is clearly evident in much of his work which is profoundly American in so many ways. Robertson led the way in the development of several important categories of American architecture. He competed successfully with the greatest architects of the late 19th century and, in some of his work, anticipated the greatest architects of the 20th century.
Ironically, Robertson has dropped out of sight among those who study American architectural history. Unfortunately, his papers and drawings apparently have been lost and this may account for the lack of interest among scholars. Many of his buildings survive, however, and they bear eloquent testimony to the skill and creativity of their designer.
Robertson worked in a broad swath down the East Coast from the Adirondacks, to Tuxedo Park, through the Berkshires, into both Southport and Newport, and then, with a flourish, he designed a string of handsome, groundbreaking tall office buildings and churches right down the middle of Manhattan. His commissions reached as far West as Ohio and included several lovely homes in New Jersey and on Long Island.
Robertson's architecture is human in scale. His had an unerring, firm control of massing. His roof lines are breathtakingly strong and powerful. He demonstrates a mastery of detail which he exercises with an often playful eclecticism that reflects the influence of William Morris, John Ruskin, and others in the arts and craft movement. The more one sees of his work, the more one recognizes his genius. The lecture will help put his local buildings into a broader context by circling out past the rest of his work and coming back again to understand the true importance of Santanoni and Shelburne Farms.
Admission is free; donations are suggested.
In and Around Essex, Architecture at History Center

The museum is located at 7590 Court Street, Elizabethtown (corner of Hand Avenue and Court Street). For more information please contact the museum at 873-6466 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lake Placid: Olympian Anders Johnson Wins Summer Ski Jump
Olympian Anders Johnson made the two longest jumps of the day to claim the annual 90-meter Summer Ski Jump at the Olympic Jumping Complex on Friday. Johnson, hailing from Park City, Utah, conquered the wet and rainy conditions without a hitch. He laid down a first round jump of 98.5 meters, and followed that with a 100.5-meter jump in the second round to earn a total of 267 points.
"Other than being wet, it was good, and it was as fair as it could have been," stated Johnson. "It was quick, short and sweet, so that's always nice."
Second place went to Nick Fairall of Andover N.H., who made jumps of 93.5 meters and 94.5 meters for 243.5 points. Alex Haupt, also from Park City, claimed the bronze medal with jumps of 88.5 meters and 87 meters for 212.5 points.
"I'll be here in October for Nationals, but I won't be here for New Year's – it's not one of my top priorities," said Johnson, the three-time Art Devlin Cup winner about trying to gain a fourth Devlin trophy.

Josh Murray's acting career began in the audition room for a short film (which he booked) and he has never slowed in his pursuit of mastering the skill since. He is an experienced film actor having worked on dozens of Film/TV projects with sets ranging from self-produced shorts to studio pictures, including several lead roles in independent features as well as on stage, performing in two title roles of plays. He has most recently added directing to his list of accomplishments with the release of 'The Soliloquy'. This self-directed performance recently earned him a Best Actor award at the Gideon Film Festival and his lead role in the 'Game of Pawns' won a TIVA Silver Peer award this year.
Josh appears in two feature films slated for national theatrical release in the coming year, 'Alone Yet Not Alone' where he plays a young, up and coming Col. George Washington and 'Wish You Well' (starring Josh Lucas and Ellen Burstyn) as the dad of the protagonist (played by Mackenzie Foy of Twilight). He can next be seen in the upcoming TV movie event 'Killing Lincoln' (starring Billy Campbell and narrated by Tom Hanks) playing the vicious assassin Lewis Powell. His performance was often described on set as down right scary. Executive Producers include Ridley Scott and Erik Jendresen (Band of Brothers).
Josh creates intense, raw characters which paired with his height make for a formidable presence on stage or screen. Josh is most often complimented on his dedication, thoughtfulness and courage by those who work with him. He frequently plays roles involving determined and driven people with focus and authority (such as Sherlock Holmes) and ranging from desperation and even madness (as in the role of Macbeth) to positive leadership roles such as George Washington (in the upcoming period epic Alone Yet Not Alone). Another recurring type is the charming (and bordering on cocky) success oriented characters like the leading man roles in Game of Pawns and Adams Morgan. His penchant for dialects and accents further facilitates his character range and has sometimes resulted in both audience and fellow film makers mistaking him for a foreigner.
Josh Murray values realism in the stories he conveys and in the characters he portrays. He is drawn to tell of the courage, faith and sacrifice of those that inspire the same in us all; knowing that while inspiring others is a time tested filmmaker's formula for commercial success, a film that skillfully and honestly communicates truth can go beyond entertainment and touch people's lives.

Belfast Suburban Rail
The Belfast Suburban Rail commuter network serves the metropolitan area of Greater Belfast and some of its commuter towns with three lines. The network is owned by Translink and operated by N I Railways (which is a subsidiary of Translink).
Larne Line[edit]
Stations - Belfast Great Victoria Street, City Hospital, Botanic, Belfast Central, Yorkgate, Whiteabbey, Jordanstown, Greenisland, Trooperslane, Clipperstown, Carrickfergus, Downshire, Whitehead, Ballycarry, Magheramorne, Glynn, Larne Town, Larne Harbour.
Portadown Line[edit]
Stations - Belfast Great Victoria Street, Adelaide, Balmoral, Finaghy, Dunmurry, Derriaghy, Lambeg, Hilden, Lisburn, Moira, Lurgan, Portadown.
This line has the potential to be extended from Portadown to Armagh city centre by reopening the railway line. Government Minister for the Department for Regional Development, Danny Kennedy MLA indicates railway restoration plans of the line from Portadown to Armagh.[1]
Bangor Line[edit]
Stations - Belfast Great Victoria Street, City Hospital, Botanic, Belfast Central, Titanic Quarter, Sydenham, Holywood, Marino, Cultra, Seahill, Helen's Bay, Carnalea, Bangor West, Bangor.
Other information[edit]
- Most trains run directly from Bangor to Portadown and vice-versa (stopping at all stations on the way), though some follow only the routes shown above.
- Services typically run every 20 minutes from 06:00 to 20:00 and at 40 minute intervals thereafter. The last train of the day arrives in Bangor and Portadown shortly after midnight.
- Services Belfast to Carrickfergus are typically every 30 mins daytime and hourly evenings and weekends. Trains extend to Larne typically every hour.
- The concept of Suburban was a Northern Ireland Railways marketing campaign in the late 1980s and early 90s when the network was divided into Suburban (near Belfast) and Intercity (beyond), leaving the odd concept of Intercity trains running between Coleraine and the seaside town of Portrush details. This division is no longer recognised.

Prescription Motorcycle Glasses and Sunglasses
Prescription Motorcycle Glasses and Sunglasses have been our primary focus for years, and nobody does this better than we do. This Black Friday, put your trust in ADS Sports Eyewear, and we guarantee complete satisfaction and great savings with your prescription motorcycle glasses. These prescription motorcycle glasses have no sales tax & include Free Shipping!! If you're not sure exactly what you want we recommend this Motorcycle Sunglasses Buyer's Guide, or read about our Try Before You Buy program.
Or see our Non-Prescription Motorcycle Sunglasses
About Our Prescription Motorcycle Lenses
Lens Design: The latest Free-Form Digital designs by Shamir compensate for the wrap or curve of motorcycle sunglasses. You will have a much larger 'sweet spot' than you are used to, and the curve compensation eliminates peripheral distortions commonly associated with putting a prescription in a wrapped frame. Your lenses can be clear, tinted, polarized, or even transitions that darken with the presence of sunlight (Transitions will not darken behind a helmet shield.)
Lens Materials: There are only two materials we will use when making lenses for prescription motorcycle glasses; they are polycarbonate and Trivex. Both are shatterproof and will prevent any rocks or june bugs from flying straight through your lenses when you are at a high speed. Trivex is the military's upgraded version of polycarbonate. It provides better optics and better durability. Both of these materials block 100% of harmful UV light naturally, even if they are untinted clear lenses. The clips below show how these two materials hold up when a 500 gram (about 1 pound) steel missle is fired directly into them.
Polycarbonate - Unbreakable but damaged. Trivex - Unbreakable, much less damage.
Why we like motorcycle glasses with padded eye seals.A motorcyclist will encounter countless weather and riding conditions if they are getting good use out of their bike. Long highway rides and extended exposure to swirling wind will dry your eyes out and cause discomfort that might make you feel like pulling over for a bit. An eye seal will block the wind and discomfort, allowing you to stay on the bike longer. The eye seal is also great at keeping rain, dust, or other swirling debris from getting into your eyes. The best part about the seals is that they are removable, so if you just need to ride around town at low speeds or want to wear your sunglasses casually or in the car you can take it out easily.

What is the best lens color for motorcycling at night?

We believe there has been a church on this site since AD 606. There may well have been a church here even earlier. Southwark Cathedral is the oldest cathedral church building in London, and archaeological evidence shows there was Roman pagan worship here well before that.
Significantly, Southwark stands at the oldest crossing point of the tidal Thames at what was the only entrance to the City of London across the river for many centuries. It is not only a place of worship but also of hospitality to every kind of person: princes and paupers, prelates and prostitutes, poets, playwrights, prisoners and patients have all found refuge here.
The Cathedral community is
embarking on a programme which will bring together our worship, our prayer, our study, our action, indeed every part of our life, in what we are calling, LIVING GOD. In the autumn, spring and summer terms in the year ahead we will be looking at the ways in which our relationship with the Living God affects everything that we do, the decisions we make, the way we live as well as what we do within the Cathedral and beyond it. Click here for more information.
Mission Statement Southwark Cathedral stands to the glory of God
We are committed to:
WORSHIP in this holy place
GOSPEL values in all we do
WELCOME and respect all people, serving them in the name of Jesus Christ.
Southwark Cathedral is a member of The Association of English Cathedrals

Commercial Bank of Qatar (CBQ) and Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) have called for Qatar Exchange to increase the number of their shares available to foreign investors to 25 per cent of their market capitalisation.
In an exchange statement, the changes are expected to be realized in six to nine months.
The statement was released before equity index compiler Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) decides next week whether to upgrade Qatar to emerging market from frontier status.
Qatar's stringent foreign ownership limits have caused it to miss out on upgrades in the past.
Currently, foreign ownership limits for CBQ and QIB are 25 per cent of their free share floats, a slighter proportion of their total capital.
The exchange statement noted that Doha Bank had recently raised its limit to 25 per cent of capitalisation, and predicted other Qatari companies would imitate CBQ and QIB. "Other companies are expected to follow this approach."
Eonomy Minister Youssef Kamal was quoted saying that some other companies have expressed their willingness to amend the current FOL set at 25 per cent of their free float shares to 25 per cent of their full capital, in the exchange statement.
Kamal said several companies had actually exceeded 25 per cent as Ooredoo and Vodafone Qatar had foreign ownership limits of 100 per cent. He said the government was keen to open its stock market further to foreign investors in order to make the country a regional investment hub.
It remains unclear, however, if Qatar's latest moves will be enough to win it an MSCI upgrade.
Qatar government owns 52 per cent of Ooredoo , 17 per cent by Qatari government-related entities and 10 per cent by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, leaving only a minority of shares open for trade in practice.
According to Reuters, Qatar's exchange said in 2011 that it was in talks with individual firms to raise foreign ownership limits, originally imposed to protect the country's control of its assets, but that it did not plan any blanket increase.

Viscous shrinkage of microchannel plates

This paper discusses how the heating temperature affects the geometrical dimensions of microchannel plates (MCPs) and the single capillaries from which MCPs are made in the softening and viscous-flow interval of glass. It is shown that the ratio of the thickness of an MCP to its diameter, i.e., the caliber of an MCP, remains unchanged during thermal shrinkage. Relationships are obtained from which the current geometrical dimensions of MCPs when they are heated can be calculated from their initial parameters. A certain lag of the axial shrinkage with respect to the radial shrinkage is observed at the initial stage of heat shrinkage, especially at relatively low temperatures.

Report: Researchers Develop 'Thinking Cap'
CBS Charlotte (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSCharlotte.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSCharlotte.com/Health
NASHVILLE (CBS Charlotte) – Elementary school teachers around the country may finally be able to get their students to literally put on a "thinking cap."
Scientists have developed a head covering that harnesses the negative electricity that spikes in our brains when we make a mistake, reports CNet.
That spike can be called the "oops" reaction.
Vanderbilt University psychologists Robert Reinhart and Geoffrey Woodman had a notion that those negative spikes might play a role in learning by allowing the brain to learn from mistakes.
"That's what we set out to test: what is the actual function of these brainwaves?" said Reinhart. "We wanted to reach into your brain and causally control your inner critic."
The "cap" is wired with sensors and electrodes to measure brain waves and to stimulate the brain.
They participants were divided into three groups, one which received an electric current from the crown of the head to the cheek (anodal), a second which which received the current from the cheek to the crown (cathodal) and a control group which was given a tingling sensation without applying the current.
Subjects were asked to perform a complex task with a high learning curve, allowing for plenty of opportunities to make mistakes.
They had to use trial and error to figure out how to match buttons on a game controller to colors displayed on a computer monitor.
The participants had less than a second to respond correctly and researchers threw a few wrenches into the test with signals showing the person was not supposed to respond.
The researchers found those whe received the anodal current (crown to cheek) had negative voltage spikes that were almost twice as large as normal, and even larger for about 75 percent of the subjects. They learned more quickly and made fewer mistakes during the test.
The people who got the cathodal current (cheek to crown) showed the opposite effect, smaller spikes and more mistakes.
The study is published in The Journal of Neuroscience.

LONDON (AP) - Officials say a technical glitch that delayed or canceled hundreds of flights at Britain's busiest airports has been fixed.
National Air Traffic Services, which controls England's crowded airspace, said it had a problem switching between nighttime and busier daytime operations at its control center in Swanwick, southern England.
A spokeswoman said the problem with an internal communications system prevented staff opening new control positions to deal with busier daytime traffic, meaning the service was able to handle about 20 percent fewer flights than on a normal Saturday.
Heathrow Airport - Europe's busiest - had delays of an hour or more on many departures, and canceled more than 200 arriving and departing short-haul flights.
Officials said services began returning to normal about 12 hours after the problem was first reported.

Lady Gaga to Learn Sign Language For Deaf Fansby Free Britney at . Comments
Lady Gaga is ready to put her paws up ... and communicate with them!
The hardest working woman in show business says she was recently inspired to learn American Sign Language (ASL) so she can communicate with her deaf fans.
Lady Gaga plans to take lessons with a personal tutor, she says, after being inspired by watching YouTube clips of her deaf fans signing along to her songs.
A source explained, "once she's mastered sign language she'll be able to respond to the videos that are online, and include signing in future live tours."
This is ... a pretty awesome gesture on her part, we have to say.
People have said plenty of unflattering things about the Lady, but accusing her of phoning it in or not caring about her fans have never been among them.
Our only concern is that Gaga is going to burn herself out. With such a relentless touring and interview schedule, how is she going to fit tutoring in?
Even the Mother Monster must require sleep, right?

Deaf people allso inpportand
joesr31 not to be rude but your comment was kind of ignorant... its not your fault you've probably never met a deaf person but just so you know most deaf people love music. they can read the words but the beat and feel of it all is so powerful
Gd gd gaga is learning love u lady gaga always and forever u inspire me
Every time that "Judas" starts on the radio I make a dash to change the channell. It does my head in.
As for why Deaf people would love Lady Gaga's music, it has rythem and that is what they are relating to as are everyone else who is dancing to the music. Dame Evelyn Dennie is a world reknowned percussionist, granted her honor by the Queen of England AND she is deaf! Lady Gaga's plan to sign her concerts will join Sweet Honey in the Rock, a women's singing group, that has been signing their concerts for over 35 years...and it is like watching finger/arm dancing of the highest order. The world of Deafness and disability is far more rich and complex than previous writers can even imagine...open your eyes and start asking questions, rather than thinking you know anything about things you know nothing about.
Giving the finger isn't exactly sign language.
and @ladyandthetramp ROFL! So funny!
Thats always good! Its considerate of her for sure, but idk how its going to help..
I wonder what the deaf language sign is for "disco stick" ?
i dont get it if they are deaf,why are they even her fans?

Marrakesh, Tangier, Casablanca… If you dream of walking amidst peacocks in an olive grove, browsing magical bazaars, or soaking in an bath surrounded by gorgeous Moorish mosaic tiles as you listen to the songs of birds outside of your window, Morocco may be the ideal travel destination for you. Escape with Megan today as she takes you there.
Name: Megan Jones
Occupation: Educational Researcher
Location: York, England
Theme: Moroccan desert blues
Inspiration: It started with a tile, that I picked up on a trip to Morocco, and with some bowls. But I think the underlying theme is comfort and luxury with lots of scented bathing! I like the idea of a cool airy space in a scorched landscape – but remembering how cold it gets in the winter. Although ideally this room would be in Morocco, I think it could work in any interior as long as it's kept modern and fresh with lots of jewel-like colours in the accessories – but not too much clutter.
Thank you for entering the decor8/Amy Butler mood board contest, Megan.

If you've ever imagined having your very own home spa with a touch of the far east, Joanna designed one centered around her passion for culture, travel, and all that is organic. And don't miss her blog about living the organic lifestyle, it's a new favorite of mine.
Name: Joanna Dyckhoff (pronounced ?dai-koff?)
Occupation: Designer (organic lifestyle products/services)
Blog: lotushaus.typepad.com
Location: Seattle, WA
Theme: Organic Bliss
Inspiration: My mood board is inspired by the organic spa experience, influenced by the ancient traditions of Asia and India. I love sustainable design, global culture and the spa experience, so I put them together to express a wonderfully vibrant and uplifting mood that I would like to see in my own meditation/lounge room! Another inspiration is the Chopra Center in NY where I was able to experience an amazing & rejuvenating Ayurvedic experience.
Design Notes: The golden brocade pouch is from World Market and a similar wooden hand can be found at INE Imports.

Ukrainian troops have entered the eastern town of Kramatorsk a day after an operation began to recapture areas seized by anti-government separatists.
But the Ukrainian defence ministry says six armoured personnel carriers were captured by pro-Russian militants.
Other reports suggest the Ukrainian troops may have abandoned their vehicles or changed sides.
Tension is increasing across eastern Ukraine where pro-Russian protesters have seized public buildings.
The crisis escalated this month after pro-Russian rebels occupied buildings in about 10 towns and cities, demanding greater autonomy or referendums on secession.
In the city of Donetsk, which has seen weeks of unrest, pro-Russian gunmen have taken control of the mayor's office.
Tens of thousands of Russian soldiers are believed to have massed on Ukraine's borders since Russia took control of the Ukrainian region of Crimea last month, following a controversial referendum on self-determination.
As tensions rose, Ukraine's acting Defence Minister Mykhailo Koval headed for the east of the country to monitor the progress of the "anti-terrorist operation" announced by acting President Olexander Turchynov on Tuesday.
The interim Prime Minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, called on Russia to "stop supporting terrorists in Ukraine".
'Not to fight'
After Ukrainian forces recaptured an airfield outside Kramatorsk on Tuesday, armoured vehicles appeared in the centre of the town early on Wednesday.
BBC journalists witnessed civilians, at least some of whom appeared to be local people, challenging soldiers, who were also blocked by a crowd a few kilometres outside the town.
One officer said he had not "come to fight" and would never obey orders to shoot his "own people".
Video later emerged of six armoured personnel carriers, flying Russian flags, entering the nearby town of Sloviansk.

The yen extended its decline Friday, touching its weakest level against the dollar since June 2009 following the Bank of Japan's decision this week to ramp up its bond buying program.
While market participants had been expecting the BOJ to ease monetary policy at Thursday's meeting to support the economy, the central bank's announcement that it would print more yen to double the amount of bonds it owns over the next two years surpassed expectations. That prompted speculative investors such as hedge funds to raise bets over the past two days that the yen will tumble further.
The Japanese currency dropped against the dollar despite more signs of weakness in the U.S. economy. A report Friday showed the U.S. added far fewer jobs in March than economists had forecast, gaining just 88,000 positions. That capped off a week of disappointing economic data in the U.S., including a key gauge of manufacturing activity.
"It confirms the fact that the U.S. is weaker than expected, would should bring the dollar down, but that was overwhelmed by what the Bank of Japan did yesterday," said Milton Ezrati, senior economist and market strategist at asset manager Lord Abbett & Co.
The yen's weakness lifted the dollar to Y97.56 from Y96.35, according to EBS via CQG.
Aside from the yen, the greenback fell against most other major currencies, sliding against the Swiss franc to CHF0.9347 from CHF0.9398
The Wall Street Journal Dollar Index, which tracks the U.S. dollar against a basket of currencies, was at about 73.597 from about 73.571.
The BOJ's easing measures also supported the pound and the euro, as Japanese savers starting selling yen-denominated securities to scoop up European bonds.
"Over the next few months and quarters, you should see Japanese investors invest more abroad in search for yields," said Charles St-Arnaud, currency strategist at Nomura Securities in New York. "They've been very big buyers of French bonds," which offer higher yields than German debt, but are seen as less risky than Italian or Spanish bonds.
The yield on France's benchmark 10-year bond fell to a record low Friday, reflecting a surge in demand for the country's debt. Bond prices move inversely to yields.
The euro was at $1.2992 from $1.2936. The common currency had a more dramatic jump against the yen, rising to its highest level since Feb. 7. The euro was at Y126.77 from Y124.62.
The U.K. pound was at $1.5340 from $1.5236.

Fantastic First Cruise
Disney did a superb job from start to finish, including a last minute change of port due to a local strike. Everyone, and I mean everyone, in the crew was helpful, welcoming and incredibly friendly.
The kids loved the Disney characters and the unlimited ice cream! The Ports of Call were beautiful, especially Naples and Villefranche.
The ship was elegant and clean. The motif was classical, reminiscent of the 20's but with all the modern conveniences. The dining rooms were each unique, with the Animator's Palate a real treat. We left the ship sad and wanting more! Less

Peach Ice Cream
I have not seen peach ice cream in years. Does anyone know a place that sells wonderful peace ice cream?
Many thanks.
I was just at Fosselman's in Alhambra (Main St. west of Atlantic) about 30 minutes ago. They have a sign in the window saying that they currently have fresh peach ice cream.
Bennett's, the fresh ice cream shop at the Farmer's Market at 3rd/Fairfax had fresh peach a couple of weeks ago - I'm certain they still do given the season....
Fosselman's is certainly fantastic, if Alhambra is close enough for you.
Yes, the Fosselman's peach ice cream is excellent. On a hot day (is there any other kind anymore?) I had them make a milkshake with it so I could take it in the car--it came out very delicate and subtle, at first I thought it wasn't a strong enough flavor to hold up in a milkshake but by the end of the cup I really wished I was still in the store so I could have another one.
Have not tried Bennett's peach but it sounds like something they'd be good at, since they do best with "old-fashioned" ice creams.
And there's always Haagen-Dasz Peaches & Cream, which is very very good.
Pazzo Gelato in Silverlake (around Sunset Junction) makes delicious yellow peach and white peach sorbet/gelato. You can buy a pint to go.
re: Snoopy
712 N. Heliotrope (near Vermont & Melrose) -- 323-906-2649
Paliman, Aloha Boba Tea House in Monrovia carries Fosselman's ice cream. Don't know the area you are looking, but you can call Aloha Boba to see if they have the peach ice cream. 626-303-2283.
I had Fosselman's peach ice cream a couple weeks ago. Frankly, I was underwhelmed. It had a nice flavor, but I wouldn't describe that flavor as intensely _peachy_ in any way. I love peaches, and I have had good peach ice cream in my lifetime (Ben & Jerry's brought one out seasonally several years back, but I haven't encountered it in a long time), so I know it's possible. Fosselman's, though, wasn't it. As is true (IMO) of some of their other fruit-flavored ice creams (e.g. the lychee), the richness of their cream base tends to mute and dilute the essence of the fruit.
And you know, while we're on the subject of Fosselman's, am I the only one who doesn't absolutely love the texture of their ice cream? It's soooo smooth, and I wish that, for certain flavors anyway, that it was a little more chewy, more toothsome, a little less buttery in the mouth, you know?
re: ladelfa
I think you're right on the Fosselman's peach. I sampled it a couple weeks ago and decided against it. Instead, I had the lychee. I didn't love the lychee either, and was sorry that I didn't get the English toffee. The lychee was too perfumey or floral for my tastes. Not that it was bad, but it wasn't my favorite.

Maybe Fosselman's Peach should be called Peaches & Cream. It's a good blend of fresh peach flavor & Hi quality ice cream but doesn't have chunks of fresh peaches in it. It's a must to try on your quest for really good Peach ice cream.

I just had the Fosselman's Peach ice cream- it is really good. It isn't aknock you to the floor peach flavor - it's more subtle and refreshing but you can tel it is made from real peaches.
