"Ski Trip"
Stayed for a nice weekend getaway and ejoyed our stay fully.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Family retreat"
It was very nice family time that we spended, the room accommodations was not so clean and the room condition was not very well maintained, but the pool area was the best, the service on front desk as well. We had a lot of fun thereGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Skiing condo"
Stayed for a couple of days for skiing.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"I would stay again but......."
I have stayed here before and loved my experience which is why I returned. The last time that I stayed we had the full bedroom in the loft and then another bedroom on the main floor. The main floor bedroom had two full sized beds which made it comfortable to sleep 6 people. This time there was only 1 full bed in the main floor bedroom and we had to […] utilize the pull out couch which was so lumpy and uncomfortable that I only slept for about 3 hours. The other issue is that the hotel forgot to put sheets for the bed so there was no bedding for the pull out. It was in the middle of a snow storm so I did not call the front desk at midnight when we realized that there was not bedding due to the conditions of the roads. Personally I would stay there again however I would make sure that the next time we got a condo that had the two full sized beds in the extra bedroom because the pull out should never be consider a sleeping option.

"Great stay"
We had a couple and three teens stay comfortably. The resort was in the perfect location to ski Attitash and ice skate. The outdoor pool / hot tub is very unique and completed the winter experience. Overall excellent stay!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A winner ever time"
Nordic Village resort is simply the best location to stay at in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. These are not a hotel room is a condo with gas fire places, in room hot tubs. They also off a small outdoor pool available year round. Also have a club house where you can put in your workout of slip outside to soak in the spa hot tub.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nordic Village stay"
The facility was decent but not great. The decor of our unit was worn out 1980's with a minor facelift. The bathroom sink backed up and there were crumbs all over the stairs going to the downstairs unit. The spa facility was also decent but the outdoor pool was too cold and the outdoor hot tub jets were not functional. It is really a stretch to call […] Nordic Village a resort. They really should consider updating the units and the spa facility. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A sweet surprise!"
What an amazing surprise! Breathtaking views from our back door with lots of room to move around! And a working fireplace! What a treat! So close to shopping and skiing!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Room was very clean and comfy, nice area close to xcountry ski,Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"needs upgrade"
Room looked like it was falling apart cracked paint. Heat didnt work at times. Walkways were not salted. Resort went down hill from what I rememberedGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Love Nordic Village"
Comfortable. Comforters and pillows are wonderful. Spa and fitness center are relaxing and enjoyable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place in the heart of the White Mountains"
The Nordic Village Resort is a great place to stay. It's close to everything we wanted. The unit was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Some of the items, such as plumbing fixtures, were very dated and should be replaced. Check-in was easy and check-out was easier. The staff was friendly, courteous and professional.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nordic Village Resort"
We had a great stay. The condo was well equipped. We had some problems with the fireplace and TV but the resort service technician was fast at getting it fixed. The indoor pool and spa was great for kids and adults alike. The resort is conveniently located 2-3 minutes from Story Land. There are also great local restaurants.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cozy on a rainy day"
Enjoyed our experience. Just a few miles out side of busy North Conway. Easy access to main roads, activities.Genuine Expedia guest review
"We'll be back!"
Just an overnight passing through. Lovely surprise. Been down route 16 many times and never noticed it. It's hidden on the side of the mountain. Beautiful setting - our room was near the top. Great scenery, very comfortable and cozy. More then we ever expected. Wish we could have stayed longer.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fall Birthday Get-a-way"
Room was clean, but, old worn furniture. Bed was so uncomfortable that I slept on the couch. Blinds were missing about 4 blinds on the end, so anyone could look right in!! outside light didn't work , screen on the slider was ripped, so we couldn't open the slider. Little refridge had so much ice in the freezer that the ice cube trays were stuck!! The […] view was beautiful, the pool and hot tub were nice. On checkout I voiced my complaints and they said I should have called and maintenance they would have come out. What were they going to do? Repair it all while we were there? I was very disappointed. Will not be staying there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
The surronding area was great, the room needs alot of updates, the bed was hard and both couches were hard as well. Not very comfortable.. it was confusing when we got to the room, they did not let us know if we had A or B room, and the key was not marked and the door was not marked. Infact our first night, there was a couple trying to get into our […] room thinking it was there's, and the same happened the next night. you could hear your neighbors, which was not good. Hotel amenities were average.. If your wanting to stay longer than a night i would recommend another place, if just the night, then it would suit your purpose to just crash. too bad, you pay alot for the room and it not live up to what you had hoped. =( Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Lovely old style separate units"
The 2 room suite we were in had a spacious living room, with a balcony overlooking a great view. The kitchen was very well equipped and clean. Both the living room and the bedroom had modern TVs if you were inclined to watch. Good indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi in the clubhouse. An outdoor swimming pool and hot tub as well. The swimming pools were […] heated. The only drawbacks were the bedroom was small and the walls were thin. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Incredible views"
We enjoyed our stay at this property. Very nice and clean, and the view was incredible.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great time! great place!"
The only thing against was the fire place was broken. The handyman couldn't get it fixed! Everything else was great!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK if other places are full"
The people we dealt with were very nice. Room was clean and the location was good. Our unit did not have a phone. The sheets did not fit the bed. It had the smallest, lowest toilet I have ever seen. The lighting system was just weird.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Broke down and busted."
Reserved a 1 bedroom with fireplace. At check in we were informed the health club pool heated was not working and pool was cold. The hot tub was also broken and they didn't have anyone to fix it. The room was clean but very worn. The unit needed paint and some new furnishings. I did notice black mold in the bathroom that had been painted over multiple […] times but not removed. I question why they would rent me a room with a fireplace when there was a sign several months old that said the Fire Marshal had deemed the unit unsafe and required repairs before use. I could have gotten a clean room probably without mold at Motel 6 for a lot less. This property is well past its prime and needs a major facelift. I will stay elsewhere for now on.

"Perfect for Family"
Very nice for the family. Little older interior, but, if you have kids, you dont need fancyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
It was greatGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful scenery. Nice condo"
It's a good size comfortable condo that sleeps 6. Could be upgraded a little but it was nice. Gorgeous views.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome Night"
It was awesome. After we figured out how to program the new TV everything else was perfect. Could not have been better and would love to go there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice location"
it looked like it had not been maintained very well. loose, rotten boards on deck, shower faucet head leaked, could not control heat/ac. very nice location, wonderful view from room and friendly staff. if more money was spent on maintenance it would have been ideal.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
There was no daily maid service which should be provided if this is intended to be a hotel setting.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nordic Village Resort (/20-9/22/14"
I was somewhat dissapointed in this resort. We had stayed here seven years ago and the lack of amenities was obvious. Since we only stayed two days housekeeping services were not offered. If additional towels are needed you have to return the dirty ones to the office (located across the road from the resort) to get clean ones. The outside of the building […] we stayed in had peeling paint and the entire area needed updating. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"In a cave; smelled like a burning garbage dump"
Hotels.com and facility pictures beautiful-what we got was a basement cavelike room with broken door, room smelling like a burning dump and a porch that had not been cleaned for a longtime. When requesting a room with a view was told that rooms were available but nothing could be changed as we booked through Hotels.com; we asked if they could do something […] about the smell and they said they would send maintenance - we returned hours later and the smell was worse . When I called I was told that they did not know what was done. Goodbye Hotels.com and this place. The place was aged, used, significantly overpriced and the staff was both ineffective and not knowledgeable of the area "things to do". Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
This hotel is a sprawling collection of lodges you might expect at the base of a mountain (for skiing, hiking) but it's not at a ski resort or a great hiking location, both of which are within driving distance. For the price, it's outdated and clunky. Ran out of hot water, old TVs with no up-to-date services (such as on demand--they still rent dvd's […] from the main office, though). The sofa bed was torture. Generally needs updating to justify the price. If you've got a big group going to Storyland or one of the local ski resorts or hiking and you plan to bbq together back at your hotel, this might be an ok choice. There are outdoor grills. There is a strange goat-petting zone and an odd little (I mean LITTLE) pond with two dinghies for rowing around, I guess. The pool facilities can be a good outdoor walking distance from your room, which is a drag in the cool weather. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Tranquil setting and beautiful view of Jackson"
Nordic Village had wonderful accommodations It was located close to local attractions including Storyland and Black Mountain ski area. Several restaurants close by. . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Very friendly staff..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I had booked a 1 bedroom condo for 4 nights. Upon arrival at the room, I was very optimistic. My boyfriend and I had an end unit and a great view overlooking the white mountains. The condo itself, however, was a whole different story. I reported while booking online, that I am allergic to down. The pillows and bedding were all made of down. I had […] also expected there to be bugs, since we were staying right next to a patch of woods, I didn't expect to see bug guts splattered all over the walls, including next to the bed! Gross! There were also dirty dishes in the dishwasher, along with a nasty, who knows how long it had been there cup of hot chocolate in the microwave. The worst part of it all, was even though I had anticipated no cleaning crew for the duration of my stay, the resort crew had the gall to leave an envelope basically asking for a tip for the cleaning crew! Overall, I loved the area, but I would never spend that much money on stay at the Nordic resort again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Family fun- tough sleeping though."
Resort was great. So much to do with kids! Pools, paddle boats, bonfires and activities! Only complaint are the beds are horrible!(now this isn't the resorts fault-most units are privately owned and rented through resort) And if you are in a unit with others above be prepared to wake up from pounding on the floors! Overall- great family destination […] !! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Met my expectations."
I went here knowing it wasn't the Ritz. If you do the same, you will enjoy your stay. The place is a bit older but isn't as beat up as some of the reviews say. Old is one thing, dirty is something else. This place was clean and comfortable. I think the older look was charming! The view from our room was amazing and it was very quiet. Exactly what we […] were looking for! The grounds are very nice with a beautiful pool area. Close to a lot of fun stuff but tucked away to make it feel remote and private. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Property and location"
I had a penthouse room and it was very nice. What was missing was a table or desk? There was no where to sit and eat or work and this seemed srange since there was a microwave and refrigurator.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Good place to stay!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel"
It's niceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Kid friendly, great pools."
The kids loved the pool, game room, and night time activities. Big yard off the patio for them to rage around on. Nice view of mountains......perfect for morning coffee on the upper deck of the townhouse. The only downside was the musty smell. If you have allergies i would advise having allergy meds on hand and eyedrops. But that was minor....we would […] stay there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Can't wait to go back!"
Overall our stay was amazing! Beautiful view of the white mountains and thought are room was adorable! Minor updates needed but nothing that would keep us from coming back! Drain in tub was broken. Had to have the maintainance guy come fix the fire place (he was very nice!) but like I said, nothing major! Can't wait to go back again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Mountain escape"
A wonderful experience! Have not been there since I was a kid and it was even more beautiful!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beautifully landscaped resort with spacious room."
Pleasantly surprised at the size and location of our room. Some furniture is a bit dated, but we were expecting that from read other reviews. The room had an amazing view of the mountains and was designed so that you have complete privacy. This room had everything needed for a full family stay. There are activities for the kids every night and the staff […] is over the top! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Could not check into the room until 1-1/2 hrs after check in time.Genuine Expedia guest review
The ad on hotels.com indicated it was one room with a loft. It was actually a two bedroom. I was told there were 2 twin beds. There were 2 queen. Not great for siblings. Had I been told there was more room, my friend could've stayed with me rather than getting her own place which was never used due to a propane leak. The condo was nice. The communication […] and service not so much. I could've saved money. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"spacious rooms..no housekeeping..outside dirty"
The room was nice & clean. Outside on patio was disgusting. Old cookies & trash around on patio. No housekeeping or sheets for pull out couch. Someone had hit a propane tank so the fire trucks were blocking the road to our room. No communication or direction on when we could get back to our room. We have 2 small children 2&5 that needed to go to sl […] eep. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Storyland Getaway"
The best attribute is that it is literally right down the street from storyland. We stayed in a 2 BR townhouse which was very roomy for the 5 of us. When traveling in the summer, keep in mind that some of the homes do not have AC (which was the case for us). The furniture and decor could also use some updates. Most of the faucets also had leaks. Overall […] it was ok, but definitely could have been better. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Horrible smell"
We requested to move due to numerous problems including a horrible smell, and we were moved to a room with the same horrible smell.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent hotel for a family"
We have been staying at Nordic Village Resort for several years now. Although it is certainly not the least expensive option in the area, it allows the whole family to enjoy our vacation because we have the space to "spread out" and not feel as if we are always on top of each other (which can happen in a hotel room!). Most condominiums come with a fully-outfitted […] kitchen, so we can prepare our meals there (who wants to eat out three meals a day with young kids?). We typically stay in a two-bedroom unit, and the kids are excited because they get their own TV (not a luxury they enjoy at home). We usually spend a day at Storyland (down the street), and then relax for a few hours in one of the 3 pools (2 heated, one indoor). There are also hot tubs and a steam room. The resort has available sports equipment that you can borrow, a rec room, small pond with rowboat, and each night they plan a family-oriented activity (e.g., movie night, s'more roast, clown). Although we have never made use of it, the resort also has a fitness center (over 18 only). Many of the units also have a bbq in the back. There is ample parking.

"weekend getaway"
This is no longer a 4 star property. It is very old, the paint on our building was peeling off. It was comfortable but we probably will not stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful property in great location. Dated rooms"
My BF and I stayed here while going away for a weekend kayaking trip. The hotel property itself is attractive and well maintained, and it's in an excellent location - Jackson is a beautiful little town. We stayed in a queen suite, which is a first floor/basement level room with a living room, bedroom, gas fireplace, and a Jacuzzi for two. The room was […] clean and well priced for what we got, but yikes, was it in need of some TLC. The closet doors were broken off, the towel rod fell off the wall when I removed my towel, the shower door needed a good amount of force to open, and the furniture was pretty worn. To be fair, it's my understanding that the experience varies by room because some of the rooms are privately owned. We were in a privately owned room - I confirmed that upon check-out. All in all, I loved this place and will go back there, but next time, I'm going to make sure we get a room owned by the resort itself. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

A tale of two halves
London menswear brand Qasimi is a bundle of contradictions, with classic tailoring sitting alongside edgier pieces, says Lee Holmes
The menswear designer Khalid Al Qasimi was born in the United Arab Emirates in 1980 and emigrated to the UK at the age of nine. Now heading up his own eponymous label, he trained at Central Saint Martins, where his fellow alumni include Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen.
Qasimi founded his label in 2009 with contradiction and juxtaposition in mind. His collections summon to mind the old adage "opposites attract", inspired by a fusion of subjects such as art, religion and architecture, all thrown together in his quirky and individual sartorial mix.
Even the location of the brand fits in with the ethos of antithesis: the studio and the hard graft of producing the garments takes place in deepest, darkest east London, while the luxuriously finished garments are showcased at the menswear collections in Paris. Très chic.
The autumn 2012 collection is a stimulating blend of tailoring and casualwear. Suits stand alongside leather jackets, rubber-printed T-shirts and organza checked shirts. These fabrics – the durability of rubber and the gossamer qualities of organza – again highlight the opposing qualities in the clothing, and there's also a nod to our military history with classic overcoats and greatcoats. Floral prints add a softer side, while a strong colour palette of reds and black dominate. The juxtaposition at the heart of the collection is clear to see.
That said, there is one weak point: floor-length skirts in scarlet and black are likely to make most men blanch. The appeal of these is limited. But with London menswear designers JW Anderson and James Long making the leap into women's clothing, perhaps that too is a route that Qasimi may take in the future.

Arabia Books, £12.99, 460pp. £11.69 from the Independent Bookshop: 08430 600 030
East Winds, West Winds, By Mahdi Issa Al-Saqr, trans. Paul Starkey
Mahdi Issa Al-Saqr, one of Iraq's most pioneering and prominent authors in the second half of the 20th century, was a prolific writer who published six collections of stories, five novels and a memoir between 1954 and his death in 2006. East Winds, West Winds, published in Cairo in 1998, is a strongly autobiographical novel about an aspiring writer working as a translator for a British company in the oil fields near Basra during the 1950s.
Mohammed is shy and bookish, surviving the sometimes brutal, often surreal, conditions in the Iraqi workers' camp by reading and by recording the world around him in notes towards a novel. His perspective soars high and looks at his surroundings from a great distance. "You have to imagine a bird flying high in the sky over this small patch of land, seeing underneath it two worlds crossed by the public road leading to Basra, like a long black wall... On one side, next to the desert, lives a group of workmen, while the managers' quarters nestles on the other side, between the palm groves near the banks of the Shatt al-Arab".
He also observes "with total concentration, as if (he) were venerating" this world. He recalls every small detail: the bark of a dog, an empty arrack bottle under a bed, grass growing out of a crack in the wall. Mr Fox, his manager, formerly a policeman in Palestine, is a petty sadist who rules the workforce through surveillance and paranoia. His roommates include the wily, fat informant Abu Jabbar, Hussein the unionist, and Istifan, who dies in a tragic and unnecessary accident.
The first "face" of the novel sees through Mohammed's eyes, but is often written in the second person, as though the author is speaking between past and present, to remembered and fictionalised selves. His vision of the workers' camp is claustrophobic, often squalid, and sometimes tragic; and culminates in an unsuccessful strike. Personal animosities have political consequences.
The second "face" of the novel is set in the more glamorous managers' compound, with its pretty gardens, tennis courts, pool and club. Here the British managers - and a handful of young Iraqi managers and their wives - drink, gossip and conduct extramarital affairs. The focus of this half is Husam, a fair young Iraqi engineer, who has recently returned from his studies in Britain, and his affair with Maureen Sullivan, the neglected wife of a colleague.
While Husam is a well-intentioned, if self-absorbed, young man, more concerned about love than politics, he is drawn into the hierarchies and webs of power at play. The deceptions and resentments of others have serious consequences for both Husam and Mohammed. Paul Starkey's elegant and lucid translation does justice to Al-Saqr's absorbing and subtle portrait of British colonialism in action. It shows the muted aspirations of the post-war generation of educated Iraqis with emotional and sociological acuity.

The stunning conclusion to the Crown of the Blood trilogy.
Ullsaard rules the known world. All are subject to his will.
Yet even as another king bows before him, there are those who would wrench his empire from beneath him. He must risk losing the lands he has conquered to confront a foe far more powerful than any he has faced before.
As alliances shift and old enemies return, will he save the empire he has given his life to, or let it fall to ruin?
File Under: Epic Fantasy [ A Time to Decide | Field of Honour | Grandstanding | Demons and Kings ]
Gav Thorpe works from Nottingham, England and has written more than a dozen novels and even more short stories. Growing up, he originally intended to be an illustrator but after acknowledging an inability to draw or paint he turned his hand to writing.
Gav spent 14 years as a developer for Games Workshop on the worlds of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 before going freelance in 2008.
Praise for "The Crown of the Blood":
"I tore through The Crown of the Blood in one long sitting... This is a properly high fantasy world - rock people, dark sorcery, landships, riding panther and (of course) dinosaurs - but all of it is introduced naturally and casually... his book is hairy, gory, sweaty, shameless... and perhaps even a little bit thoughtful."- Pornokitsch
"The Crown of the Blood should really have a warning sticker on the front... it's one of those books that are almost impossible to put down, so much so that you find yourself unconsciously continuing to (try to) read after geeting up to make a brew / go to work / go to bed (delete as applicable and don't try this at home kids). The novel also stands out with a very strong opening scene and excellent end, with a genuinely unexpected twist." - SFBook.com

17 apply to run Minneapolis PD
MINNEAPOLIS- Seventeen people have thrown their names into the blue hat to be considered for running Minnesota's largest police department.
The applicants for the job of Minneapolis police chief include Interim Chief Tim Dolan. The rest of the names have not been made public.
An advisory committee will help screen the applicants over the next two weeks. It could be another month before Mayor R-T Rybak submits his nomination to the city council.
Twenty-five people applied for the chief's job when Robert Olson left in 2003. Deputy Chief Lucy Gerold and interim Assistant Chief Sharon Lubinski were strong contenders then, but the job went to Bill McManus, who was the chief in Dayton, Ohio. He left to be chief in San Antonio, Texas.
Gerold and Lubinski say they did not apply this time.

RightScale, the cloud manager, has integrated its platform with New Relic's real-time RPM Ruby-on-Rails application performance management software. So RightScale users should be able to detect, diagnose, and fix performance problems with their cloud-borne Rails applications.
CEO Michael Crandell says, "Ruby on Rails has always been one of the most popular development frameworks for web applications on the RightScale platform."
RPM is supposed to be a 10-second Rails plug-in install that can monitor the overall health of an application, detect potential performance problems that may impact customers, drill down to see the exact cause of the problem and integrate with application development and support tools.
It's reportedly used by 1,100 Rails organizations like the New York Jets and Getty Images to handle 12,000 production application instances.
RightScale customers automatically get a subscription to RPM Lite, New Relic's free, fully-supported Rails production monitoring product and can upgrade to New Relic RPM paid subscriptions that offer more performance tuning and problem analysis features and let customers store historical data for longer periods of time.
New Relic customers, in turn, can sign up for RightScale's free Developer Edition and upgrade RightScale Professional Editions for more cloud management features and functionality.
RightScale, which claims 300,000 server deployments, is supposed to reduce the complexity of cloud computing, so mission-critical applications can be deployed in hours, even multi-cloud applications.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ... Jan. 31, 2015 12:30 AM EST Reads: 3,084 |

Full Tilt Boogie Slideshow
January 14, 2015Pinning the 'tale' on a donkey
December 2, 2014For sure I am not the first storyteller to pin the "tale" on a donkey.
Robert Louis Stevenson did it in the 1800s with Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes. Zane Grey did it with Tappan's Burro. More recently Tim Moore wrote Travels with My Donkey and Andy Merrifeld penned The Wisdom of Donkeys: Finding Tranquility in a Chaotic World.
While donkeys played central roles in these books, each is about something more than the donkeys themselves. Likewise, with Full Tilt Boogie: A journey into autism, fatherhood, and an epic test of man and beast, I have framed my story with the Rocky Mountains as the backdrop and the gritty sport of pack-burro racing as a theme.
But Full Tilt Boogie is really about my challenges parenting my autistic son, Harrison. It is a story of determination, love and perseverance in the face of adversity.
The book is 224 pages and includes several color photographs. It is available in both electronic form and paperback.
Pay what you want ebook
To get an ebook (pdf) that you can read on your kindle, iPad or Nook, simply send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send it to you! You choose the price! There's a button inside the book that will take you to a place you can easily pay for it online.
The paperback also is available directly from me for $20, including shipping. You can either "send money" using paypal to firstname.lastname@example.com or send a check to me at 307 Centennial Dr., Westcliffe, CO 81252. Of course, send along your address so I know where to mail it.
If you prefer, Full Tilt Boogie is also available on amazon.
The book also is available at the Book Haven in Salida.
Don Con giving away music to fund new album

A visit to see the GEMS burros
November 7, 2014Finally made the trip (and it was a trip!) out to the Great Escapes Mustang Sanctuary (GEMS) where my friend Kim Zamudio is the trainer in chief and is working with wild horses and wild burros.
The sanctuary is out northeast of Kiowa.
Kim is an official trainer with the Platero Project, launched by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in an effort to place more wild burros captured off Western rangelands into adoptive homes. She is able to take animals directly from the BLM, train them, then offer them for adoption.
There are as many as 1,300 wild donkeys that have been removed from public lands by the BLM and are being held in captivity.
Currently at GEMS 10 of these formerly feral burros are available for adoption. Kim has them trained to various degrees. Many of them are halter-trained and broke to carry pack saddles. These are about as nice a bunch of donkeys as I've seen.
People often ask me where they can get a burro. If you're considering an animal for packing, pack-burro racing, a guard or companion donk, or a pet, I would encourage your to get in contact with GEMS. Not only are these burros gentled and trained, the adoption fee is extremely reasonable.
The sanctuary also has 29 mustangs, and serves as a center for education and awareness about burros and mustangs. Tours are available and donations are appreciated. Check out their website at http://greatescapesanctuary.org/.
A season through the classroom of time
November 1, 2014My recent column in Colorado Central magazine
'Full Tilt Boogie' available as ebook
October 26, 2014My new book, Full Tilt Boogie — A journey into autism, fatherhood, and an epic test of man and beast is now available as an ebook directly from me. This ebook is a PDF that can be read on most tablets or your computer.
Full Tilt Boogie is a story of endurance and perseverance in the face of adversity, and is filled with parallels and metaphors for life. The book is organized as a series of vignettes that weave together to tell the story of how I set out at the age of 53 with a jenny donkey named Full Tilt Boogie to win a seventh World Championship in one of the planet's most obscure and difficult endurance sports, while also struggling with the challenges of raising my autistic son Harrison, financial hardships, and aging.
To get a copy simply email your email address to me at email@example.com. The book is "pay what you want" — there is a button on the copyright page and on the back cover directing you to an online payment form that takes Paypal or credit cards.
The ebook is also being published by Vook, and will soon be available on all major epublishing channels — Amazon, iTunes, Barnes and Nobel and others.
Print copies of Full Tilt Boogie will be available from me in the near future, and several signing events are in the works. Stay tuned for details.
This is an exciting time to be a writer, with so many ways to get your work out there, and also to get paid for it. I thank my readers for being a part of this journey.
"Inspiring, thoughtful, humorous, pensive, honest…a must-read for parents, athletes, ranchers, farmers, animal lovers. Without question, four hooves up!" — Nancy H., Colorado Springs

Words and Pictures
October 7, 2014"Nearly everything we are taught is false except how to read." So says poet Jim Harrison, who apparently has an ax to grind.
"A picture paints a thousand words." So says Frederick R. Barnard, in Printer's Ink, a national trade magazine for advertising.
Barnard also had an ax to grind, but then that magazine went out of business.
Ancient peoples wrote in pictures painted on rocks, a form of expression which is real and lasting. Later people learned to chisel words into rocks.
Then came paper and ink.
Now it's bits and screens, perhaps not as enduring as rock or paper.
Temple Grandin says language gets in the way of visual thinking, that words tend to cloud some ways of thinking. What does this all mean in the age of blogs, Facebook, Twitter, which all feed into short attention span, and in a world where success is determined by "Likes?"
In journalism school we were taught to write short. The "Five Ws and the H" first. Everything else can be cut from the bottom. An editor once told me the end of the world could be written in 10 column inches.
It's also struck me that poetry is a form of condensing words into a picture.
As both a photographer and writer I see that pictures get way more "likes" than the words. I've been conducting an unscientific study, which I think is unbiased since nobody's paying to view or to read. The photos win hands-down, 5-1 or better.
There also have been instances when I have posted something to read and someone has "liked" it so fast I know there's no way they could have actually read it.
If you write a book, however, longer is often believed to be better. But will anyone read it? Or will they skip through it looking for the pictures, those you've painted with words? Or go right to the ending?
In this new age of expression it's up to those who create to figure out how best to get their ideas out there. Perhaps there's something to be learned from poets.
Like those who painted rock walls before us, we have no other choice. We can blame electronic media but then did the ancients blame rock walls?

Tens of thousands of Egyptians swarmed around President Mohamed Mursi's palace in Cairo on Friday.
Protesters want the president to retract a decree enacted on November 22 that gave him sweeping powers.
They also want Egypt's first democratically elected head of state to cancel next week's referendum on the constitution which was drafted by the Islamist-dominated assembly.
One protester said: "Our supposedly elected president has declared a dictatorship in the country, just to push through with his party, and to ignore the demands of the rest of the people in this city. We are here to tell him that this is unacceptable."
Another added: "The people must unite, forget all of the different political factions. Egypt has been confiscated and we must take it back. It doesn't matter who we unite behind, we've just got to get rid of the Muslim brotherhood."
Opposition leaders had earlier rejected a dialogue offered by Mursi.
The recent crisis has polarised the country and provoked violent street clashes which left seven Brotherhood supporters dead this week.
But Friday's demonstration remained relatively peaceful as protesters pushed their way past the elite Republican Guard units and barbed wire that ringed the palace.

Demonstrating the breadth and scope of its combined product development and marketing capabilities, CORE Brands LLC, a division of the Nortek Technology Solutions Segment, will introduce more than 25 new audio, control and power management products and system solutions at ISE 2013 in Amsterdam.

âIt is difficult to find a dealer who is not using one of these brands today, and our goal is now to have each dealer using five or more of our brands,â he added. âProduct development is the key initiative for our brands in the next year.â
The full range of CORE Brands products and solutions can be seen at the groupâs two ISE 2013 exhibits. ATON, ELAN, Niles, Sunfire, and Xantech will be exhibiting in Stand 1N80. BlueBOLT, Panamax, Furman, SpeakerCraft and Proficient will be exhibiting in Stand 1N62.

Wednesday, 03 Sep 2014 11:44 AM
Smiling and appearing robustly healthy, a U.S. missionary infected with Ebola while working in Liberia on Wednesday shared publicly her battle with the deadly virus for the first time.
Nancy Writebol, 59, of Charlotte, North Carolina, has been recovering in an undisclosed location since her release last month from an Atlanta hospital that also treated another missionary who contracted the often lethal virus.
She told reporters there were mornings when she woke up and thought with surprise, "I'm alive."
"I thought whether I live or whether I die, it's going to be okay. It's going to be okay," she said, speaking at times through tears about her recovery at the Charlotte headquarters of the Christian organization that she worked with, SIM USA.
Still, "there were many times when I thought, 'I don't think I am going to make it any more," she told reporters at the group's Charlotte headquarters. "There were some very, very dark days."
On Tuesday, SIM USA said another U.S. doctor involved with its mission in Liberia had contracted the disease. The group, which has not disclosed the physician's name, is expected to provide additional detail on Wednesday and has said the physician is doing well and in good spirits.
Writebol's account of her illness comes as global health officials warned that the most severe Ebola outbreak in history appears to be worsening.
The outbreak has infected more than 3,000 people and killed some 1,550 since it was first detected early this year in West Africa, according to the World Health Organization.
For Writebol, her recovery involved a dramatic medical journey that drew international attention as well as scrutiny over treatment options.
After contracting the disease in Liberia in July, she was flown back to the United States to receive care in an isolation unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
She was also one of a few patients to receive an experimental treatment, Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc's ZMapp, although doctors at Emory said they could not determine whether it made a difference in her recovery.
During the course of her illness, she endured "dark hours of fear and loneliness," her husband has said, leaving the hospital virus-free, but in weakened condition.
A mother of two, Writebol has been recuperating in an undisclosed location with her husband, fellow missionary David Writebol, who was also in Liberia but developed no symptoms.
She was treated at Emory with another U.S. missionary, Dr. Kent Brantly, a Texas doctor who also received ZMapp and was also released last month.
Brantly, who worked with another missionary group called Samaritan's Purse, this week said he felt like he was going to die during the throes of the illness but somehow recovered.
"I don't think there is anything special about me that made God save my life," he told NBC News in an interview, which aired late Tuesday and early Wednesday. "I survived. That is not to say that for everybody else who died God was absent."

Great outdoor kit
From headlamps and camp stoves to camp beds and water purifiers
Tevasphere Trail eVent shoes
The backlash against barefoot running didn't take long. These trail trainers aim for a middle ground between traditional heel-strike designs and newer, ultra-minimal shoes. The rounded heel and arch support move impact forward while maintaining plenty of ankle control;
£110 (cotswoldoutdoor.com).
BioLite CampStove
Running on renewable biomass rather than fossil fuels, this stove has a thermo-electric generator that turns heat into electricity, powering gadgets via USB: it can boil a litre of water in five minutes using 50g of kindling. This could be the stove of the future; £149.95 (aboveandbeyond.co.uk).
Puma Basket Biodegradable shoes
These ecologically sound trainers are made from cotton, linen and a special plastic called Apinat Bio and are fully biodegradable;
£57 (puma.com).
Therm-a-Rest Luxury Ultra-lite camp bed
Look away if you prefer sleeping on the cold, bumpy ground to a flat, comfy, camp bed. This aluminium and nylon bed is almost two-metres long but packs down to 41cm and weighs just 1.2kg; £153 (cascadedesigns.com/therm-a-rest).
Suunto Ambit watch
Like other GPS timepieces, the Ambit can track your performance while running, swimming, cycling or mountaineering. Unlike most, though, it can also download specialist apps for more obscure activities and even creates personalised apps on a simple-ish website;
£350 (suunto.co.uk).
OS MapFinder
This new OS app for Apple gadgets has high-resoultion maps that are easier to read in the dark than their paper counterparts. Plan routes beforehand for an estimated time to completion, or track your progress as you go. Landranger grids (1:50,000 scale) are a reasonable 69p, and Explorer (1:25,000) £2.49, available for purchase within the app. Another handy app (also free) is the YHA Guide, which can locate your closest hostel; free (apple.com/itunes).
Pearl Izumi Elite Infinity jacket
Designed as a running jacket but stylish enough for town, this ultra-lightweight women's shell has a barrier layer to cut wind-chill, basic rain resistance, an MP3 zippered arm pocket, and low-light reflective elements; £60 (pearlizumi.co.uk)
Nobis Chloe reversible jacket
Shrug off unexpected showers with a jacket made for a climate wetter than Britain's. This Canadian outerwear is made from canvas nylon, with a durable PVC coating. Vents prevent over-heating and the hood is adjustable; £370 (nobis.ca).
Lifeventure Altai 65 rucksack
No fancy wheels or rollers here: this is a proper, old-school, 65-litre rucksack for adventure travelling. Well, sort of. You do get a security cover that hides its zippered compartments, an integrated rain cover for tropical climes and a 16-litre day-sack for sight-seeing. The whole pack weighs under 2.5kg and there are ventilation meshes, straps and lockable pouches galore; £170 (cotswoldoutdoor.com).
Petzl Nao headlamp
The Nao has built-in distance sensors that track what you're looking at and adjust its LED illumination accordingly. Read a map and the beam becomes wide and powerful, look up and it narrows and dims to provide even lighting; £115 (petzl.com/nao).
Steripen Freedom Solar
Previous Steripen water purifiers have seen me safely through multi-day backpacking trips. They have an ultraviolet light that blasts water-borne bugs without the nasty taste of chemicals or the pumping of filters. My worry until now, though, was that its battery might fail in emergencies. Cue the Steripen Freedom, which comes with a solar panel for recharging its lithium ion battery and is capable of purifying 500ml in under 50 seconds; £80 (steripen.com).

ransferring data and apps from a broken nexus 7 to a new unbroken one
How do I do this? I'm having trouble with getting all the apps I had on the broken one onto the new one. I can't find all the pics I put on the old one. I can't find the place to put the ones I did find on the new one. I can't find my documents anywhere. The broken nexus 7 has a smashed screen so I can't access it at all. I can only see the screen with the lock on it. Since I had used this for work and need the pics and docs on it, most of which were not saved to the cloud/one drive, how do I get them back?

Welcome to Android Central! Reinstalling the apps should be easy on the new tablet--just log in with the same Google account, and any apps you installed from or purchased on Google Play Store will be available to install on the new tablet. The same applies for Amazon Appstore.
As for recovering photos and documents, that may be trickier. I assume that although you can see the lockscreen, the touchscreen doesn't register touches, right? You should check out this post and see if it might work for you: A quick guide to accessing a locked phone with a cracked screen.
