We Actually Wheel!
Sounds like a good plan. Why not go coil in the front though? Just wondering.
Quote from: ROCKZILLA on November 29, 2010, 10:04:29 PMSounds like a good plan. Why not go coil in the front though? Just wondering.looked a little into it, but not a lot of info on doing this. ORU and ORD both make 4 link kits but lots of $. As far as fabricating, this is my first major project, I want to keep it simple as possible and do as much of the work myself. In the past I would pay people to do the work, but not as gratifying and you don't learn much that way. Also more expensive. Leaf spring setup seam pretty simple and straight forward.
i've removed 1 or 2 d44 axle shafts before
Quote from: kkattfish on December 01, 2010, 08:38:26 PMi've removed 1 or 2 d44 axle shafts before or 4 or 5
Cant wait to se this finished as i have a 98 Suburban i've tought about doing this to, not to mention i love the 88-98 Trucks. One question Why D44's over 1 ton axles?
One question Why D44's over 1 ton axles?
Can you snap a few shots of the Coil Spring Perches that r on there now? From the Pics u have up i cant tell where the Perches actually r in relation to the Knuckle and Pumpkin.As far as the Axles being different lengths i think spacers will take care of that.

What do these beers have in common?
Sharp's Doombar
Goose Island IPA
Worthington White Shield IPA
Granville Island 'Thirsty Farmer' Saison
Leffe Brune
The answer is that they are all delicious, well made beers by individual brewers who seem to care about the product that they make. Oh they also happen to be owned by two of the largest international mega brewery companies in the world; companies that most 'craft beer' fans treat with contempt, and are unlikely to be ordering any of their more visibly 'industrial' brands anytime soon. Those two companies are Molson Coors and AB Inbev. AB InBev are known for probably the most famous brand of beer in the world – Budweiser. Molson Coors own the 'silver bullet' (coors light to you and me) as well as the top selling domestic range of lagers in Canada from North Americas oldest continually operating brewery – Molson.
These companies do not make craft beer, surely.. according to the (American) Brewers Association and now the guys at Brewdog, craft beer can only be made by a craft brewery, and AB InBev and Molson Coors are definitely NOT craft breweries.
James Watt and Martin Dickie have tried to define craft beer in the UK because,no definition exists as such. They are looking for SIBA (Society of Independent Brewers) , CAMRA and the community as a whole to come together and define what 'craft beer' means in the UK. They point to the US and the Brewers Association's (BA) definition as an example of how the US 'defines' it. The roots of the BA lie in representing small brewers, but now the maximum output per year for members is 6 million US barrels (7.04 million hectolitres). This would be one huge brewery, hardly 'small'. The Brewdog boys think 500,000 hectolitres annually is a suitable size limit for a 'craft brewery'. SIBA (formerly Small Independent Brewers Association) reserve full membership for breweries who produce 200,000 hectolitres or less (above this then only associate membership is permitted) alongside provisions ensuring full independence from the big boys.
This brings me to my main point – does size matter?
There is no guarantee that small breweries, by anyone's definition, whether that be 7 million hectoiltres or a nano-brewery producing less that 10 hectolitres annually will produce beer that is any good, let alone be defined as 'craft'
For me it is about the beer, and its ingredients. Adjuncts seem to be important to many people when working out a definition. Are they used to enhance or reduce flavour? asks Brewdog and the BA. A brewer that uses rice (such as Budweiser) would argue that it does enhance the flavour by giving the beer a clean crisp taste that an all malted barley beer cannot give. Craft beer fans would say it reduces flavour to the point where the drinker can barely taste anything.
So where does it leave us on defining what is and isn't a craft beer? Well, one man's craft beer could be another's mainstream swill, so who am I or you to define it for everyone else? I think that giant megabrew companies can own brands or companies that can make craft beer; the five at the top of the article are examples where they have bought up great breweries that produced great beer and still do.
Can the same beer made with exactly the same recipe in the same brewery by a great brewer one day be considered "craft brewed" and then as the shares are bought up by Coors Molson or AB InBev suddenly be industrialised swill? The beer has remained the same, just the ownership has changed!
The answer is that there is always going to be a large grey area that may well be impossible to define, and to try and put hard and fast rules may well be a fools errand. I thing it is worth defining "Independent breweries" and perhaps size as well. 'Regional, Small, Micro and Nano' might be worth defining if only to inform for the consumer, as well as qualifying for particular beer festivals that feature for example, just nano-breweries or just independent breweries.
Pigeon-holing a broad term like "Craft Beer" is trying to define different peoples perception of an ethos, quality, flavour, 'honesty' and artisanal-ness among other terms. It is not possible in my opinion and we should only try to define what is quantifiably definable, and I think size and independence as well as declaring a list of ingredients is what we should be aiming towards as they are far more useful and interesting things for the drinker to know as he or she sups on a tasty brew.

Overlooked & Underseen: Fade to Black (1980)
Hello, my name is Sarah Jane and I watch a lot movies. Most of it is crap, sure, but I do watch quite a few gems and that is what this column is for; to showcase the underseen and the underappreciated. I think we here at TFS are avoiding the term "underrated" because it's a word that gets thrown around so much, it has lost its meaning at this point.
The first film I'm featuring is one I rarely see talked about anywhere; Fade to Black (1980), written and directed by Vernon Zimmerman. The film stars Dennis Christopher, Tim Thomerson, Linda Kerridge, and in one of their first film roles, Mickey Rourke and Peter Horton.
Let me just start out by saying Dennis Christopher (Breaking Away, Chariots of Fire, Django Unchained) is an odd duck. I happen to enjoy him, but I get that he isn't to everyone's liking. In Fade to Black, Christopher stars as Eric Binford, a young man obsessed with movies. He watches them constantly, his room is littered with all things film, and he even "works" for a film distribution company, although he really just spends his time going to the movies while on the clock. He eats, sleeps, and thinks in films. He quotes them all the time. He's one of those annoying people who likes to lord their knowledge over you. He does it to co-workers like Mickey Rourke, who want nothing more than to punch him in the face several times over.
Eric, naturally, is harassed by just about everyone, his boss, his co-workers, and especially his aunt. He lives with her because his mother died when he was a child. His aunt never lets him forget what an awful burden he's been on her life. To say their relationship is contentious would be to put it mildly.
One day, Eric runs into Marilyn Monroe look-a-like, aptly named Marilyn. He is immediately drawn to her and asks her out on a date. Much to his (and our) surprise, she says yes. When she doesn't show up, the already-teetering-on-the-edge-of-insanity Eric ends up goes batshit crazy. He dresses up as several of his film heroes (including Dracula and Cody Jarrett) and goes on a killing spree. Naturally, the film's final scene takes place at Mann's Chinese Theatre.
Fade to Black is film worth watching at least once. Dennis Christopher gives a performance unlike many others you'll see (unless, that is, you watch another Dennis Christopher movie because, let's face it, he is one strange cat). This movie is crying out for a Blu-ray release. It has been available on DVD previously but a current search of the Internet shows it going for $170. The movie is available to watch on YouTube for those of you not willing to spend $170.

Face of Your Classroom
Creating a Blog as your Face of the Classroom site
Blogging is a form of web journaling, or web logging - hence it's name blogging. Posts to the blog are read by others, who then have the option to post a comment. The author of the blog may choose to moderate comments in which the author decides which comments to post publicly. In education, blogs are used in a variety of ways; posting assignments, communicating with parents, storing information, sharing expertise, and/or for interactive lessons.
Comment moderation is an important feature for educational blogs and gives the teacher the opportunity to manage what is posted on the blog site for others to view and interact with. Bloggers need to follow acceptable use policies and keep web safety considerations in mind when creating their user id and also when making posts and uploading media.
Get started with your Face of the Classroom web presence by creating a blog! Check with your instructor to determine if you are going to be using Edublogs.org, Edublogs Campus, WordPress, or some other blogging service.
WordPress is one of the most popular blogging tools, and is the engine for many of the others, including Edublogs. This is a set of instructions for WordPress.
The three videos can be viewed full-screen.
Direct links to these videos: Video 1, Video 2, Video 3
Edublogs allows teachers to create their own sites for educational purposes. Edublogs offers built in templates, designs, and widgets for video and podcasts to make the creation process easy and user friendly. It also offers a premium service for a fee. Some school districts subscribe and pay for a more fully featured Campus version.
WordPress is the software blogging platform most blogs are based on, and it can be used independently of Edublogs. Check with your district technology coordinator or 21things course instructor about which blogging service is preferred.

Our compliments to customer Ken L in Seattle who executed a wonderful stair riser project. Ken used laminated vinyl with our camouflage stripe to really compliment his decor.
I think this project really pops. The regular spacing on the pattern and the obvious care in installation adds a nice formal look to this space. And the vertical elements leads the eye up creating a lot of interest as to what's at the top of that stair! The oar/handrail is a really nice touch. Great job Ken!

This is only tangentially related to Doctor Who, but Christopher Eccleston, who played the Doctor for the first season of the revival, will be in a movie about... G.I. Joe. It's difficult to overestimate the amount of suck this movie will contain, but having Eccleston in it will mitigate that somewhat. He's a terrific actor. His appearance on "Heroes" was cool, though he was totally wasted in "The Seeker", which was awful.
Still, there's not much chance I'll go see it. And I had a G.I. Joe when I was a kid. Maybe if they can get Billie Piper to be in it too...

The client, a worldwide leader in airline and aviation IT services, needed to update its hardware in all of its U.S.-based locations. The client partnered with TEKsystems Global Services® for this deployment due to its scalable, high-quality resource reach, both nationally and locally. TEKsystems provided four travelling technical leads that paired with local TEKsystems technicians at each site. The leads used the lessons learned at each location to streamline and coordinate the process at subsequent airports. A project coordinator then reported on status, coordinated travel plans and served as an escalation point for the client and TEKsystems' resources. The TEKsystems team performed asset inventory, replacement and disposal for more than 1,500 assets at 42 airports within a six-month timeframe. This asset inventory provided an accurate snapshot of the client's IT resources and TEKsystems' asset disposal solution offered significant cost savings as all assets were shipped to TEKsystems' disposal centre instead of back to the client's headquarters. The TEKsystems solution enabled the client to meet their client's timelines with minimal disruption as well as significant cost savings compared to other vendors.
A cable telecommunications company needed a more economical solution for .NET development support of its customer service tracking application and turned to TEKsystems Global Services® for support. TEKsystems established a dedicated off-shore team in Bangalore, India to provide enhancements and Tier 2 support for the application, using an Agile methodology. With TEKsystems' support, the client recognized cost savings greater than 60 percent over baseline, increased the development scope and decreased application defects by more than 80 percent.
A leading defense contractor partnered with the United States Air Force to modernise its equipment at military bases around the globe. Specifically, the network boundary equipment that was supporting 105 Air Force and seven Air National Guard bases worldwide was approaching the end of its life and service capacity and needed replacement. Lacking the in-house credentials, time and logistical support, the defense contractor commissioned TEKsystems Global Services® to support the replacement of the 112 network boundaries. TEKsystems sourced, screened and facilitated the onboarding of specialised field installation engineers to travel to undisclosed locations to perform complex and high-risk boundary modernisation. TEKsystems' team installed network boundary equipment at all locations, with minimal disruption to Air Force base personnel, within the client's timeframe of just eight months.
A leading energy provider partnered with TEKsystems for development support of a proprietary application that would allow commercial customers to access their real-time electricity usage and choose to reduce consumption during peak times. Leveraging the Montreal Innovation Centre in Quebec, TEKsystems Global Services® developed a flexible and scalable service model utilizing ASP.NET, Jquery, JavaScript, Silverlight and Sencha, among others. TEKsystems increased the application's functionality, modified the user interface, incorporated mobile features, and created a mobile application for Android and Apple tablets and smartphones. The resulting mobile application was one of the first mobile solutions for commercial user participation in load reduction programs. The client's customers received real-time usage information and automated control capabilities in order to optimize their energy consumption, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and empowerment.
The client, the global industry leader in utility metering, needed a partner with database expertise to upgrade its aging Oracle database platform but lacked the in-house resources to meet project and financial goals. TEKsystems Global Services® managed the full project, from creating the data migration strategy to implementing the software and performing all quality assurance controls. Using an on-site delivery manager and TEKsystems' India-based team of data architects, developers and testers with specialised experience in Oracle 11g, we provided a cost-effective solution that saved the client money while moving its data architecture to a more robust, scalable RDBMS platform.
A leading oilfield services provider engaged a TEKsystems Global Services® division to consolidate financial reporting and provide mobile reporting for sales and leadership. TEKsystems built a Hyperion Essbase reporting architecture and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) integration, sourcing information from Hyperion Financial Management via Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), to solve the client's performance problems and allow adaptive report layouts. The team conducted an SSL configuration as well as server load and performance testing. TEKsystems also selected and implemented a successful mobile BI solution by consolidating complex oilfield reports for mobile devices into a dashboard of key performance indicators (KPIs). The solution TEKsystems delivered to the client gave their key executives greater access to relevant business intelligence, which in turn enabled them to make quicker, more effective decisions.
The client, a leading oilfield services company, partnered with a TEKsystems Global Services® division to develop an Oracle Fusion-based portal to re-platform its product lifecycle quality system. The previous system, developed in ColdFusion, was not scalable or flexible enough to be maintained by its business users. Through a mixed on-site/off-shore model, TEKsystems successfully provided an Oracle Business Process Management (BPM)-based solution. TEKsystems integrated 12 systems and over 125 reports, enabling more than 20 subject areas (e.g., purchase orders or receipts) to have self-service analysis. The user-friendly platform empowers everyday business users: they are able to receive role-based access to various applications, review and manage business processes, and build reports without having to rely on manual administration support. Furthermore, users have front-end access via mobile devices. The client now has a more robust, efficient and reliable system for measuring the quality of its products. This programme was supported by Oracle Application Development Framework, Oracle BPM, .NET and SOA/BPEL.
A leader in the development of North America's energy infrastructure, the client initiated the construction of an oil pipeline between Alberta, Canada and Houston, representing the largest transportation of crude oil from Canada to the U.S. The client engaged TEKsystems Global Services® to build a fully-automated application to monitor the movement of oil through the pipeline. Through the Montreal Innovation Centre, TEKsystems utilized an Agile development methodology to foster collaboration and communication within the business units, define business processes, develop quality software and meet the demands of an aggressive timeline. The application was successfully built using Microsoft .NET v3.5, Visual Studio 2008, Team Foundation Server (TFS), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and ASP.NET 2.5.
The client, a global financial services provider, commissioned TEKsystems Global Services® to build a migration plan to integrate its IT applications and systems gained during acquisition while also minimising potential risk to customers. Through this partnership, TEKsystems designed a custom managed service solution that enabled the client to revise and streamline its work order request process, onboarding program, team lead structure and delivery management. This involved centralising program management and improving operational efficiency; managing reporting and other project coordination activities; and developing training and onboarding materials. The client recognized a 90-97 percent reduction in time spent on work orders and a 30 percent increase in throughput due to the restructure of work order storage.
A major global financial institution partnered with TEKsystems Global Services® to support an enterprise-wide cyber surveillance security initiative. Due to the nature of cyber forensics/surveillance and how data is monitored and managed differently across international borders, the client required regionally-based surveillance in both the U.S. and the U.K. TEKsystems sourced, onboarded and provided delivery management for a team of high-quality, U.K.-based information security analysts with extensive experience in cyber forensics specific to surveillance. The TEKsystems team provided an analysis of monitoring activities and results, risk management, compliance and reporting. Through TEKsystems' partnership, the client was able to utilise its existing managed services framework to address an international resource need per the requirements of industry standards, allowing them to seamlessly and consistently perform necessary security activities in multiple regions around the world. Following this initiative, TEKsystems worked to transition a portion of the team to full-time status at the company.
A large commercial bank with over 700 branch operations required quality assurance (QA) and testing services for an upgrade of their core banking platform. The client's QA team lacked experience managing a complex multi-vendor project. TEKsystems Global Services® performed QA and testing services to validate the outcomes and partnered with the client's internal team to manage the multivendor initiative. The client used the technical testing strategies and test designs TEKsystems developed to enhance its broader testing program, resulting in improved workflow processes and faster testing. Following the engagement, the client converted several of TEKsystems' resources to full-time employees.
The client, a global leader in investment management, asset and fund administration, and fiduciary and banking solutions, sought to strengthen its global footprint and grow its market share in emerging global markets. The client decided to utilise modern collaboration technology solutions to enhance its presence and drive operational performance. TEKsystems Global Services® delivered a dedicated team of programme managers and skilled resources who successfully implemented collaboration technology tools, reducing costs, increasing employee efficiency and helping the client better position itself to win new business in emerging markets. The technologies implemented included video conferencing, VoIP, email, instant messaging, WAN accelerators, SCCM and SharePoint.
A subsidiary of a global payment, travel and expense management provider engaged TEKsystems Global Services® to manage the off-site development and testing of a merchant portal and open payment platform designed to support commerce among international buyers and sellers. TEKsystems assumed responsibility for the full lifecycle development of the client's payment processing system, managing resources on-site in Florida as well as in TEKsystems' Montreal Innovation Centre in Quebec and guiding the client through a transition from Waterfall to Agile methodology. The platform was completed and tested, resulting in a code defect rate of less than 1 percent when returned to the client.
A healthcare IT company partnered with TEKsystems Global Services® to support software upgrades for more than 150 healthcare clients. Upgrades and patch uplifts were needed over a two- to-three-year period to keep the software in compliance with legal guidelines. TEKsystems presented a resource management-based solution, handling team recruitment, management, training and reporting. The team worked with Linux Red Hat 5 and AIX operating systems, J2EE technologies and scripting languages to complete the upgrades. The client realized a 10 percent improvement in efficiency at the conclusion of the project, and TEKsystems reduced the client's attrition rate by 33 percent.
The client, a worldwide biopharmaceutical company, develops innovative products and technologies to advance world health and help fight and cure diseases. The client had previously outsourced its service desk and desk-side support model but turned to TEKsystems Global Services® when faced with inconsistent and inefficient support. TEKsystems presented a co-managed engagement model to help the client achieve higher resolution rates and improved customer satisfaction, aligning industry best practises with client-specific processes and procedures. As a result, the client recognised a 40 percent increase in first call resolution, a 320 percent decrease in desktop support resolution time and a 94 percent customer satisfaction rating.
The client, an engineering and electronics conglomerate, needed to implement its next generation of business applications while maintaining the functionality and availability of legacy systems during an extended transition period. TEKsystems Global Services® supported this effort by assuming daily support responsibility for approximately 30 legacy applications, including customer quote systems and job scheduling software. TEKsystems' off-site team of support analysts monitored the client's IT tracking queue for issues related to the legacy applications and took responsibility for solving problems at all levels, including root-cause analysis and application enhancement. TEKsystems' support helped free up the client's internal staff to work on other initiatives—while also providing the client with significant financial savings.
The client, an international law firm that provides legal support across a broad spectrum of practice areas, commissioned TEKsystems Global Services® to support its Windows® 7 upgrade initiative on over 1,600 machines via a coordinated deployment team services (CDTS) program. This proven CDTS offering provided the client with the resources, processes, logistics and the delivery management expertise to complete all upgrade-related activities on time and on budget. Working in close partnership, the client was able to maintain control over the project while relying upon TEKsystems for its execution expertise.
With offices in the U.S., Europe and Asia, the client is a law firm focused on intellectual property, litigation/controversy, regulatory and government affairs, securities and transactional practices. The client needed to replace approximately 2,400 PCs that were approaching end-of-lease as well as upgrade an additional 600 PCs that required performance enhancements. In need of an IT services partner that could deliver reliable and skilled resources, logistical and HR management of those resources, as well as asset retirement and upgrade support, the client engaged TEKsystems Global Services®. TEKsystems successfully delivered a coordinated deployment team services (CDTS) solution to facilitate asset retirement and PC upgrade processes across all project locations.
When one of the world's largest facilities services providers decided to use webMethods 8.0 to integrate their software applications and processes, they engaged a TEKsystems Global Services® division. As a preferred services partner of webMethods developer Software AG, TEKsystems has deep expertise in implementing, supporting and optimising the tool. TEKsystems' team provided application and infrastructure support to get webMethods up and running and created customised enhancements for the webMethods interface. Following implementation, the team continued to provide operational support, including defect management, file reprocessing and development enhancement requests.
A world leader in imaging products and solutions engaged a TEKsystems Global Services® division to support its European division with the implementation design and strategy for a key business intelligence (BI) platform. TEKsystems began by meeting with various business users throughout the organisation to understand, gather and prioritise the client's BI requirements. The next steps focused on conducting a system analysis, generating report requirements, developing role-based dashboards and user interface (UI) mock-ups and reports. As part of this effort, TEKsystems utilised a value prioritization process to aid the client in decision-making regarding feature benefits relative to implementation costs. TEKsystems' strategic implementation design prepared the client for a thorough, efficient and successful implementation. Technologies used during this engagement included Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.8, a cloud-based talent acquisition application, Oracle Discoverer reporting, Oracle BI Applications, Oracle BI Enterprise Edition 11g and Oracle CEMIS.

Sweden is an elongated country and is slightly bigger than California having a land area of 410,335 sq. km. (World Factbook). Sweden is located in northern Europe between Finland and Norway. The geographic coordinates of Sweden are 62 00 N, 15 00 E (World Factbook). Sweden is mostly flat with some mountains in the west. In Sweden, 85% of their population lives in urban areas. Sweden's capitol is Stockholm. Other major cities in Sweden are; Uppsala, Orebro. Gavle and Mora (Maps of World). Sweden has no border issues with its neighboring countries Finland and Norway.
A very cute and simple map of Sweden.
Chad is a compact country and is more than 3 times the size of California (World Factbook). The land area is 1,259,200 sq. km. (World Factbook). Chad is located in central Africa, just south of Libya. Other surrounding countries include; Niger, Sudan, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic.

Sweden's GDP is $395.8 billion and their GDP per capita is 441,700 (World Factbook). Chad's GDP is $21.34 billion and their GDP per capita is $2,000 (World Factbook). In Sweden, there are not many people in agriculture, just 1.1%. 28.2% are in industry and 70.7% are in services (World Factbook). Sweden's export partners are mainly with Germany, Norway, UK, Denmark, Finland, and US (World Factbook). They mainly export machinery, motor vehicles, paper products, pulp and wood, and iron and steel products (World Factbook). Their income for exports is $177.6 billion (World Factbook). Sweden's import partners are mainly Germany, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, UK, Russia, Finland, China, and France (World Factbook).

They spend about $166.4 billion on imports. Sweden's HDI is 0.904. Sweden's economic development is at the age of mass consumption which means they are pretty developed at this point.
The Ministry of Justice comes together to discuss Sweden's development.
80% of Chad's population is in the agriculture sector and 20% are in industry and services (World Factbook). Since Chad is less developed, their amount of people in agriculture shows it and how little are in industry and services. Chad's exports partners are the US, China, and France (World Factbook). Their exports consist of oil, cotton, and cattle. And their income from exports is $4.951 billion. Chad's import partners are Cameroon, France, China, Finland, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, and the US (World Factbook). They import machinery and transportation equipment and industrial goods (World Factbook). Chad's HDI is 0.328. Chad's economic stage of development is the traditional society which means they haven't really started to develop yet.

Interesting that there are many things we do not know as entrepreneurs, marketers and dreamers. The catch though, is you or your teams have to possess three qualities – 1) an acute sense of awareness of the environment, 2) the ability to observe and seek patterns in the business moments and lastly, 3) a well-cultivated sense of humility that will empower you to learn. If you have these, then you have taken the first step towards the discovery of yourself, your team and the dream that is your startup.
How many of us possess these qualities? How many of us are really ready to listen? How many of us are aligned to the fundamental premise that there are things we don't know and it will help knowing them, should we want to transform our business journey?
I have a simple and kind of a tongue and cheek description for such entrepreneurs. I label them as individual /leaders ' who don't know what they don't know'. They have as a matter of conducting business shut themselves off – from the environment, reality and more importantly to the opportunity of creating a well thought set of associations, which in turn would aid in recognition, comprehension and an overall positive perception of their business ideas.
How does one become 'don't know but want to know?'
- Define the larger journey – where do you want your idea to go. For instance, to reinvent an existing habit or create a completely new one? Or disrupt the existing arrangements in the marketplace?
- Stay fresh, stay current – keep your mind always open to ideas and thoughts. Even if they are not what you think will work. Opposing ideas actually strengthen your resolve.
- Question, question, question- yourself and the teams around you. Asking the right questions means you have half the answers.
- Conviction is different from empty obstinacy – the trailblazers are always rooted in their idea, but never foolish to ignore which way the wind is blowing.
- 'Trust' ought to be in surplus – learning to trust is in a way allowing others to work. It gives you and them the freedom to chase the goals without getting into each other's way. Trust and you will discover that you can be in more places and with more people than one.
- Hire talent not their loyalty – you get a share of their time when you recognize that their grey matter is vital to the organization. They could be the ones who tell you what you don't know but you ought to know.
- Change is permanent – easy to understand, difficult to experience.
- Empathize with your user/stakeholder – see the world and the relevance of your business idea from their eyes. Not merely as an inventor or a poet who just writes not bothering who reads the creative piece.
- Give yourself time to think – like they say in anger management you count 1,2,3 to 10 to cool off, you ought to be sleeping over an idea, a new direction, problem or that paradigm changing solution.
- Tell yourself you don't know many things. It helps you to increase the arrows in your quiver of success.
Try these simple things. Don't know will transform to 'know what I don't know' and then once known, you can emerge from the shadows of success to posterity…

Stephen Chbosky Quotes About EyesQuotes about: Eyes
there is this one photograph... that is just beautiful. it would be impossible to describe how beautiful it is, but i'll try. if you listen to the song "asleep," and you think about those pretty weather days that make you remember things, and you think about the prettiest eyes you've known, and you cry and the person holds you back, then i think you will see the photograph.
It's kind of like when you look at yourself in the mirror and you say your name. And it gets to a point where none of it seems real. Well, sometimes I can do that, but I don't need an hour in front of a mirror. It just happens very fast, and things start to slip away. And I just open my eyes, and I see nothing. And then I start to breathe really hard trying to see something, but I can't. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it scares me.
So, I looked up, and we were in this giant dome like a glass snowball, and Mark said that the amazing white stars were really only holes in the black glass of the dome, and when you went to heaven, the glass broke away, and there was nothing but a whole sheet of star white, which is brighter than anything but doesn't hurt your eyes. It was vast and open and thinly quiet, and I felt so small.

Giant Schnauzers are a 'trimmed breed' with minimal shedding compared to breeds
such as the short course coated Dalmatian, Doberman, Boxer etc. Therefore
the coat will require regular attention either by hand-stripping to remove dead coat or clipping.
To keep a Giant Schnauzer with their
typical Schnauzery look and expression they will need a visit to a groomer approximately
every 6-8 weeks. Alternatively you may wish to learn how to groom yourself.
"Max" - an adorable Giant ready for a trim
"Max" - after a trim
Grooming a dog yourself can help establish a bond and also reinforces that 'you' are the leader of the pack, you may also find it rewarding and relaxing. It may seem a little daunting at first but with a little practice you can soon master the basic techniques and keep your giant looking like a dog of distinction. Here are some basic instructions for you to follow, one thing for you to remember... if you make a mistake it will grow back!.. so have a go.. you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Giant Schnauzers have a double coat, a waterproof course top coat and a downy undercoat. Depending on coat type,
when left the coat will become 'blown' once or twice a year. The longer dead top coat becomes loose and puffed out with new
coat and undercoat coming in underneath.
Stripping of the coat can be time consuming but is required for the show ring to maintain texture. Dead hair is
removed by plucking it out by hand or with the aid of a stripping
knife. Once stripped the faster growing undercoat can be maintained by regular scrapping with the stripping knife.
The frequency of scrapping will depend on the abundance and growth rate of the undercoat, but may be required
once a week to maintain
a show coat between stripping. Regular scrapping may also help to improve a softer coat.
1. Brush the coat regularly and thoroughly before 'trimming' or 'hand-stripping'.
2. Using the blue stripping knife start at the shoulders and strip the coat within the dotted area and in the direction as shown. If you prefer to clip your dog use blade No 7 or guard No 2-3.
3. Finish off by stripping/trimming the back of the neck.
(N.B: Starting at the shoulders will encourage confidence in the dog before commencing the more intricate parts of the body.
1. Using the blue stripping knife or clipper blade No 7/ guard 2-3 - trim the back legs as shown.
2. Using clipper blade No 10 / guard 1-2 clip the rear and inner thigh as shown to accentuate the natural hairline running down the back of the leg
3. Clip the dogs bottom across the thigh to the centre. N.B: Before doing this check the density of the hair in this area as a longer blade may be preferred.4. Continue clipping the abdomen up to the naval as shown
1. Brush the hair on the chest downwards.
2. With the dog standing up, using the chest bone as the apex, trim an inverted' V ' shape to the top of the front legs as shown.
3. Brush hair away from the chest and scissor upwards from beneath the dog to achieve a neater line.
4. Similarly comb the hair away from the hocks and scissor downwards as shown.
1. Using the large nodular wiskers (identified by red circles) as a guide, brush the beard away from the face. Clip with blade No10 guard 1-2 in the direction show up to the ridge of the skull shown by the dotted line.
2. The hair between the eyes should form a natural inverted' V'. Accentuate this line by scissoring from the corners of the eyes. Clean a small area out between the eyebrows with the clippers or scissors - keep the scissors 'flat' to the skull and this will prevent 'cuts and 'obvious scissor' marks.
3. Trim the eyebrows in a line with the nose as show.
4. Strip the top of the head in the direction of the arrows with the red stripping knife, alternatively clip with blade 8 or guard 2-3.
1. Clip the ears with blade No10 or guard 1-2 in the direction of the arrows.
2. Trim the edges of the ear with scissors to give a neat edge.
1. Use the clippers to trim the hair level with the pads in the direction shown by the arrows, alternatively cut with scissors. This will prevent clogs a dirt and mats from causing sore feet.
2. Tidy the hair around each paw to create a round 'Cats Paw' effect.

To clean her apartment floor, Olive Oyl spreads soapy water across her floor, attaches towels to her feet, and skates across the floor to soak up the water. (Is this really the same woman who can barely stay upright five cartoons later, in A Date to Skate?)
Then a pipe on the side of the wall springs a leak. Olive plugs the leak while she calls a plumber -- ever-helpful Wimpy, who offers the query, "Why didn't you call yesterday? I was in that part of the neighborhood." Wimpy does his usual un-speedy work in getting to Olive's place, leaving enough time for Popeye to pop in.
Between the two of them, Popeye and Olive turn a single leak into multiple geysers. The house nearly floods before Popeye pulls out his "plumber's helper" -- the spinach can.
As with most of the great Fleischer cartoons, a breezily simple plot is propped up by delightfully elaborate gags. A simple pleasure to watch.

Considering the Nordic countries commonly associated with black metal, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when I heard this particular band, TAMUTAMEN, hails from Tel Aviv, Israel. However, I guess it's not such a big deal since bands like Liturgy, Krallice, Deafheaven, and Wolves In the Throne Room have done a lot in terms of making black metal about sound, not just culture.
So, if you're looking for something "trve" or "kvlt," you might want to move along, because TAMUTAMEN seems to focus more on energy and aggression than any sort of set rules and standards. While the band does have some great blast beats and tremolo picking--I wanna mention here that some of the lead guitars get pretty melodic and colorful, too--there's an undeniably strong hardcore punk influence in the handful of songs on this new demo of theirs. Find a download of all the songs right here. Check out a session performance featuring the band in the video below, too:

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) has said it's consistent with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision for justice. The three Democrats seeking to succeed O'Malley are for it. And one of the state's congressmen has pledged to personally bankroll a campaign to promote it.
Raising the minimum wage, it seems, has become the latest rage in Maryland. And the attention comes as D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D) weighs whether to sign a bill that would require the District's largest retailers to pay their employees a super-minimum wage.
With an election year looming, a growing number of Democrats are promising a renewed push next year to require Maryland employers to pay significantly more than the $7.25 an hour required by federal law.
"Here in Maryland, we're a progressive state," Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler (D) said Friday at event outside a Food Lion supermarket in Gaithersburg. "We ought to take care of the people who work every day and make sure that they make enough money to actually be able to live and survive in our economy."
Gansler, a candidate in the 2014 Maryland governor's race, argued that raising the minimum wage to $10 an hour is "the morally correct thing to do and the economically sound thing to do." His two declared opponents in the Democratic primary had previously spoken out on the issue.
Bills to raise the minimum wage went nowhere during the most recent 90-day legislative session in Annapolis, in part because of staunch resistance from retailers and other employers. But supporters — including the state's labor unions — hope the dynamic will be different when lawmakers return in January, particularly if O'Malley puts his legislative muscle behind a proposal.
Nineteen states and the District mandate a minimum wage higher than the federal minimum. Although bills are pending in Congress to raise the federal minimum wage, most observers consider passage a long shot. On Friday, a bill that would require some major retailers in the District to pay employees combined wages and benefits of no less than $12.50 hourly was sent to Gray.
A senior O'Malley administration official said the governor is considering including a minimum-wage bill in a package of initiatives next session aimed at helping the middle class. O'Malley, who is weighing a 2016 presidential bid, has not settled on the specifics of a bill, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to more freely discuss the governor's plans.
During remarks last week at the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, O'Malley ticked off several issues that he said are part of the "work of justice" championed by King. Among them: raising the minimum wage "for every mom and dad that's willing to work hard and play by the rules."
Not everyone who needs to be sold on the idea has been.
Del. Dereck E. Davis (D-Prince George's) said he remains "very concerned that it could result in the elimination of jobs."
"Yes, it will benefit some people, but at the expense of others," said Davis, chairman of the Economic Matters Committee, which has jurisdiction over minimum-wage legislation in the House. "We have to be cautious in our approach."
Results from an unscientific survey of Washington Post readers
Davis said he considered this year's legislation — which would have gradually raised the minimum wage to $10 an hour by mid-2015 — to be a "dramatic change." He said he also continues to oppose a provision that would have automatically increased the minimum wage after 2015 by an inflation-driven formula.
One of Gansler's rivals for the Democratic nomination for governor, Del. Heather R. Mizeur (Montgomery), was a co-sponsor of the bill that failed in the last session. The other, Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown, pledged during a campaign stop in June that he would make the issue a priority in the next legislative session.
Given the influence of labor unions in Democratic politics, some analysts say Democratic legislators — particularly those facing primary challenges — have an added incentive to support a bill next year, when their seats will be on the ballot.
"I think if you're a Democrat running in a Democratic primary, you've almost got to be for it," said Donald F. Norris, the chairman of the Department of Public Policy at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. "The labor vote is an important part of the Democratic coalition."
Norris said raising the minimum wage does carry some risk for the legislature, however. Fairly or not, Maryland has a reputation in some quarters as a state unfriendly to business, and mandating higher wages "plays right into that narrative," Norris said.
During his appearance Friday, Gansler said businesses stand to gain from paying higher wages because it will reduce turnover among employees. "It makes people loyal to the company," he said.
Rep. John Delaney (D), the newest member of Maryland's congressional delegation, made similar arguments last month when he announced that he would draw on personal funds to launch a campaign to raise the state minimum wage in next year's legislative session.
Delaney, a financier who won election in Maryland's 6th District last year, said he remains supportive of federal legislation to raise the minimum wage across the country. A pending bill would increase it from $7.25 to $10.10 by 2015.
But "the chances of that moving anytime soon are limited," he said, adding that "the best way to make a difference for my constituents" is pushing state lawmakers to take action.
Delaney said the campaign he intends to bankroll would involve a grass-roots component, digital ads and more traditional media, including television spots, as the legislative session draws closer.
Maryland lawmakers last voted to raise the minimum wage for private-sector employers in 2005. The bill, which Davis sponsored in the House, established an hourly minimum of $6.15 — a dollar above the federal standard at the time. It was vetoed by then-Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R).
But the heavily Democratic legislature overrode Ehrlich's veto in early 2006 and, later that year, passed a bill applying the higher pay standard to state and local government workers, who were not covered by the original legislation.
By 2008, the minimum wage mandated by Maryland was overtaken by increases passed by Congress. The federal floor of $7.25 has been in place since 2009.

Joe Wilcox of eWeek spoke to Julie Larson-Green, who joined Microsoft in 1993 and has worked on user-interface design for her career there.
Larson-Green played a pivotal role in the development of the new Office user interface, which main element is the ribbon. Now as corporate vice president for Windows Experience Program Management, she is responsible for taking some of the concepts introduced in Office 2007 and applying them to Windows.
Here is the excerpt of their conversation:
Shifting Design Priorities
The process for revamping Office's look and feel started about the time version 2003 shipped three years ago. The Office team faced two ongoing problems: Customers continually asking for features that had been in the software for years and upgrade resistance from perceptions little substantially changed version after version.
Microsoft would have to rethink fundamental design concepts before looking to the user interface as solution to these two problems.
Consistency was "in the fabric of our team," Larson-Green said. For previous versions, consistency was the top design principle. Microsoft sought to create consistency across Office applications and maintain it version after version. While the Office user interface evolved from its Windows 3.1 heritage, the basic design principles remained largely the same until version 2003.
Larson-Green was among the Office team members advocating change. Microsoft spent months and months conducting research and formulating concepts for a radically new user interface. The design priority shifted from consistency to empowerment.
"We wanted people to have a sense of mastery" using Office "and feel confident that they could get the job done," Larson-Green said.

Starting a landcare group in Greater Sydney
What is landcare?
Landcare is a grassroots environmental movement organised into groups and organisations – some are purely voluntary with half a dozen members while others are substantial organisations that employ paid staff and operate with significant budgets (taken from the Landcare NSW website).
The aim of landcare is to help coordinate and fund efforts by community, government and business in protecting and preserving the local environment.
Landcare volunteers work across farmland, bushland, parkland, beaches, national parks, rivers, dunes, creeks, Crown land, public land, private land, forests, travelling stock routes.
Getting started
To start a landcare group you need to identify a core group of people dedicated to addressing the same environmental issue. It is important to generate as much interest as possible well before you start your group. Remember that while Local Land Services is keen to support you, we are unable to offer regular assistance at landcare days etc so you really need to ensure you have a responsible, committed and enthusiastic group to drive your activities.
Once you have established your core group of interested people the next step is to ask yourself the following questions.
Whose land do we want to work on?
- Local council land – If the land is owned or managed by Local council you will need to speak to their environment team before starting a group. Many councils have very well organised and supportive 'bushcare' programs that are usually a great starting point.
- Crown land – some crown land is managed by local government and so the above still applies. However, if the land is not managed by council you will need to get permission from Crown Lands prior to starting work. Local Land Services can help to facilitate this.
- School or church land – In this instance you need to make sure you have permission to undertake the proposed works and keep an open dialogue with the landowner. Forming a dedicated committee or working group is a great way to ensure everyone is on the same page in this instance.
- Private land – this is the traditional model of landcare. It sees neighbours uniting to remove weeds and plant trees in their local area. This can be both a formal or informal group. See the information below on incorporating for more details.
- Community Title land - a landcare group is a great way to manage common land in a community title development. You will need to ensure you have permission from the strata committee and that the corporate body's insurance covers your activities.
- Other land such as Water NSW or Roads & Maritime Services land - You can only work on a government agency's land with permission from that agency. This can sometimes be difficult to obtain. Some sites also require special permits, for example, group members may be required to obtain a "Work safely in the construction industry" certificate (White Card). Local Land Services can facilitate communication with other organisations but cannot guarantee any specific outcome.
Do we need to incorporate?
Many landcare groups opt to become incorporated associations. This is usually so they can apply for grant funding or enter into legally binding contracts. Incorporation also provides the group with its own legal identity which protects individual members during any legal transactions. Incorporation comes with specific governance obligations including a minimum of five legal members, the formation of a committee, developing a constitution and appointing a public officer. There are small ongoing annual costs associated with becoming incorporated.
If your group is affiliated with another entity, such as a church, school, community strata title or local council you may not need to be incorporated as your existing partner can act as a legal entity on your behalf. If you can avoid incorporation by working with another entity you can have all the benefits of being able to receive grant funding etc without the governance burdens associated with incorporating.
Similarly if you are a group of landholders working on private land only wanting to engage in landcare informally and do not have an interest in getting funds as a group or entering into contracts you do not need to become incorporated.
If you decide that it is best to incorporate as you would like to receive funds as a group or think your group would benefit from a more formalised governance structure, Local Land Services can help you through this process.
To read more about incorporation, visit the NSW Fair Trading website.
Do we need insurance?
As above, if your landcare activity comes under the auspices of another entity then it may be that you are also covered under their public liability insurance. It is important you have this confirmed by the entity. If you are working on Crown or private land your group members will need to purchase insurance. Local Land Services can provide you with advice about appropriate insurances and in some instances will cover the cost of insurance.
What tools, training or other support do we need to undertake our work safely and successfully?
A Local Land Services officer can come out to your site and give you advice on what resourcing you will need to achieve your goals. If you are new to environmental management, you may need training to ensure you undertake work without causing any damage to sensitive areas or wildlife habitat. You may also need specific tools or safety equipment. Local Land Services can help you design a workable plan and provide advice on getting the right equipment. Local Land Services may also be able to provide funding or help you access funding through other organisations.
Other things to consider
Register with Greater Sydney Local Land Services

Chennai: He is expectedly happy to have made a comeback into the Test squad but Amit Mishra said that "he does not need" to look at Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah's recent exploits to get a morale booster ahead of three-Test series against Sri Lanka.
"You don't need someone's (referring to Yasir Shah) performance to necessarily boost your confidence. I am always confident about myself when I bowl well. I am in good form and performing well, so I am confident. But yes, what is important is to adapt to the conditions quickly," Mishra told mediapersons on the sidelines of the first 'unofficial Test' between India A and Australia A.
Mishra however was dismissive about pressures of making a comeback into the longer format after a gap of four years. He had last played a Test match at the Oval against England in the disastrous Summer of 2011.
"I do not want to put unnecessary burden on myself about good performance. I want to go with a free mind and try to play to my potential. If I have got an opportunity, I will give my best. I am happy with my comeback. Of course, it'll b a tough tour. They are good players of spin bowling, so no doubt it is going to be tough.
"But will see what can be improved. Will try our best. The selectors have always trusted me and they have given me chance once again it feels good. I have also added variety in my bowling. I have started varying the pace of my deliveries."
Mishra termed Kohli as a very good captain. "Virat is a good captain. Whether it is ODIs or anything, he will do a good job. He gives you support and always backs his players."
The stint with India A will prove to be helpful, feels Mishra. "Of course, this would help us as Australia A is not a weak team. As you can see their performance and I think we will get the same conditions in Lanka. So this series is a good opportunity. For me, for KL (Rahul). And if we perform well here, it'll boost our confidence," he said.
The portly Haryana leggie however made it clear that even though he wanted a comeback, he was not too desperate but it was there at the back of his mind. "Yes, Sri Lankan series is going to be challenging and that's what we expect as players . To go out and perform well. I was not desperate but it's always there at the back of yiur mind that you want to play for India. And now, I am here to perform and enjoy the game."

On Friday the 1st of April, last week, Vixen Collective (Victoria's peer only sex worker organisation) issued an invitation to sex workers and supporters to join in raising concerns over the "World's Oldest Oppression" Conference. The conference, an event at which proponents of the partial/full criminalisation of sex work will be gathering, runs over the 9th and 10th of April (today and tomorrow).
Sex workers and supporters participating in the protest on social media since then, have been experiencing significant levels of abuse from anti sex work individuals. This has included being called "pimps", being told that we are "happy hookers", that we are "meat for buyers", "fucktoys", that we are "commodities to be bought, sold and used", referred to as "female flesh", "pieces of meat", and told that sex workers are the "pimp lobby".
Vixen Collective itself, a sex worker only collective, made up of current and former…

Successful Email Marketing Campaign Strategies
TMS knows that a strong online presence involves a lot of moving parts working together in a well-coordinated and strategically deployed SEO marketing strategy. One of those moving parts is an effective email marketing campaign, an essential means of communication with new and repeat consumers.
With the advanced spam filters today, an effective email marketing campaign must be consistent with relevant and substantial information for the consumers. TMS crafts email marketing campaigns that are interactive, informative and click-worthy. Emails that get read, clicked-on, leading to actual business, are the ones that engage the audience with thought-provoking content that speaks directly to their needs and wants.
Why does email marketing matter? It's a marketing avenue available. Taking advantage of this avenue can lead to conversions. It holds value. A well-crafted email marketing campaign also increases brand awareness.
Email is a form of direct marketing reaching out to repeat consumers and potentially new. It has the ability to reach a wide audience. Some email marketing campaigns target former consumers to introduce promotions, or special sales luring them back to the website, where they can once again do business.
Why Invest in Email Marketing Campaigns
Repeat Business: TMS utilizes email to develop a relationship with the client's consumers. Sending industry-related promotions and newsletters directly to consumers discreetly instigating them to visit the site in order to do business with again.
Attract New Business: Getting new consumers with promotional email marketing campaigns offering significantly discounted products or services for a limited time to email subscribers is just one of the ways TMS incorporates an overall successful marketing campaign. Encouraging consumers to be involved. They become more likely to open future emails, giving them reasons to engage. This helps increases profits and brand awareness.
Email Marketing Vs. Snail Mail
Analytical tracking & Reporting allows TMS to see where and when your messages are being read by recipients. A primary means of communication-based marketing comes from the use of search engines and email is second. Email marketing is still more effective than social media marketingReaching a large number of potential customers instantly. Many consumers will have already opted for the email marketing campaign which helps bypass many spam filters. This ensures the content reaches the consumer.
Most people have their email accounts synced onto their mobile device, making it just as effective as a standard text message, actually reaching the individual. Email notifications are sent to a phone, alerting users of the sender's identity, the message's subject matter in the phone's notification system. There is no waiting for people to "log on." People are always connected and so is their email. At least half of all internet users check or send email on any given day.
When a potential consumer has abandoned a cart on your website, TMS's email marketing campaigns send reminder emails to pique the potential consumer's interest in a product/service they at one time almost invested in. This provides them with incentive.
What makes an Email Campaign Successful?
For starters, your emails should be just as clever, witty, and engaging as some of the best advertisements you've seen in other forms of media. Be creative and see the email message as a blank canvas. What would make you look twice? How can you get and hold a reader's attention?
A good strategist from an email marketing agency specializes in digital media delivery and has proven tactics and approaches that are aimed at drawing attention to particular parts of a message. This allows marketing strategists to make the message as effective as possible for consumers. Be bold, unique, colorful and attractive to your consumers. You really need to find a way to stand out!
Provide customers with an incentive to click on the links in the email and make sure the landing pages for those links take the user directly to the advertised deal. You need to keep the consumer locked into the product and promotion for which they clicked on. Take them to the homepage directly without having any information there about the promotion and you run the risk of them quickly exiting.
Send emails when you think they will be most likely opened and read. This is all about being creative and smart about how you engage the customer and catch their attention. Timing is always everything in email marketing and a good strategist will maximize the campaign's potential and strike when the iron is hottest.
Email will continue to be an intersection where consumer and businesses meet for the foreseeable future. It's advised that business owners do not neglect or fail to develop a smart, creative and engaging email marketing campaign. The benefits outweigh the associated costs and risks.
The overall cost is drastically less than other marketing strategies and has the ability to produce new leads and draw in former customers who are looking to take advantage of special promotions, sales, and offers. It builds, maintains and creates new business – customer relationships that have the potential to pay dividends for many years thereafter.

Had enough stuff done to roll it out for real tonight. We had a big turnout with six of us playing, and I knew the rules better thanks to the previous trial game and the one with Zach Walter who showed me the bits I was missing the first time.
6 players x 250 points and 3 Chi each. It played well except that six people is pushing it for this system in terms of time spent waiting. We started the second turn with a rules revision to have each player on a side activate one guy at the same time to move it along a bit faster, instead of card activation. But it happened that Eric's protagonist found the secret martial arts scroll in the shepherd's tent and whisked it offboard in his first activation of the second turn, ending the game, so that option did not get a full exercise. This time it was mostly my terrain, and a mix of my collection and Eric's, some painted by John, for the figures.
We used two rules tweaks to make bruisers worth taking at 35 base points. They got Quality 3 instead of 4 and took one more effect point than a regular Extra to knock out (2) or kill (3).
Aaron, who won our first outing, had a terrible time this game, with his protagonist getting knocked down several times in the first turn and burning all his Chi to keep the bad results down to that degree. He reacted several times, mostly just to stand back up.
This is a good rules set, very cinematic in feel, and I recommend it highly. Just aim for games of 2 to 4 people.

Hedley BC Homestay AirBnB
About the Homestay
This is a 3 bedroom house in very small town Hedley, BC – about 4 hours drive from Vancouver. We have hiking, fishing, skiing, and WINERIES nearby. The spare bedroom is upstairs with a queen bed and an adjacent bathroom. Downstairs is a large kitchen, living room, and billiard room. There is a back deck to lounge on.
It is quiet and comfortable with laundry facilities, WiFi, parking, and smoke alarms. On parle un peu de francais.
This is a rural area. There are often large deer in the back yard and the occasional bear. Rattle snakes and cougars are very rare in town, but they are around. Hikers must be sensible and aware.
