Central Warehouse fire still smoldering, state moves to take over Luther Forest tech park, the last place Carl Paladino still polls well, Snooki in Wonderland
The fire at Central Warehouse is still smoldering this morning. Officials say they're no longer concerned about a possible collapse, but it's still not safe to send firefighters into the building. So far, air quality tests from the site have not indicated there's a danger to people in the area. Fire investigators say there were workers in the building on Friday, though it's unknown whether their presence has any connection to the fire. [CBS6] [Troy Record] [TU] [TU]

The state's economic development arm has moved to seize the Luther Forest Technology Campus because of concerns over infrastructure delays that reportedly have the potential to jeopardize the GlobalFoundries chip fab project. A GloFo spokesman says "nothing is off the rails," but says the company is concerned about the slow pace of development for a road and utilities. The tech park has also reportedly fallen behind on paying back loans to the state. The president of the tech park says the org's board hasn't decided yet whether to fight the takeover.

An Albany man alleges the owner of a pizza shop on Central Ave assaulted him and used homophobic slurs early Saturday morning (map). In the man's version of events, the incident was set off when he accidentally spilled parmesan cheese.

That pizza shop assault story is insane. I really wonder who is being truthful. It doesn't make sense that someone operating a business next to gay bars would be so homophobic, and that they would lose it so violently over some spilled cheese. I don't want to call the victim a liar, but I have a feeling there may have been more to it than that. On the flip side, based on the extent of the victim's injuries, he was clearly punched more than once.
In any case, I hope the truth is revealed and justice is appropriately handed out.
It depresses me to know that Paladino's roots are not far from mine in Italy.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.

Soil conservation guidelines
Queensland's intense and episodic rainfall and the inherent instability of many of our soils mean that our State will always be prone to a high risk of erosion.
It is not surprising that the early rapid unplanned and comparatively uncontrolled exploitation of Queensland's natural resources had detrimental consequences for the landscape. By 1950, large areas of cropping land in Queensland had become so badly eroded that they were no longer able to be cultivated.
Thanks to the efforts of a couple of generations of Queensland farmers and professional soil conservationists considerable progress has been made since then.
However it is important that we continue to be vigilant.
These soil conservation guidelines have been created to provide practical information and tools for anyone with an interest in soil conservation. They will be particularly useful for farmers, NRM regional groups, Landcare groups, consultants, Local governments, State agencies, and agribusiness. Whilst they have been written with Queensland in mind, these Guidelines contain information that will undoubtedly be useful to people facing similar issues elsewhere.
The Soil Conservation Guidelines for Queensland (3rd edition) can be downloaded chapter by chapter from the Queensland Publications Portal.

In scene 2, the light widens and the background noise grows to show Darius and Dr. Hearn are at a party in Darius' art-filled loft apartment. Dr. Hearn is rather skeptical about Darius' stories, not going so far as to say they aren't true, but heavily insinuating that he has a flair for the fantastic and adventure tales. They discuss his personal art collection as well as the works on display for the evening. As a favor to a friend, Darius is hosting a reception for the Asian fusion artist Utagawa, even though he himself doesn't care for the work.
In the brief scene 3, Claire Tsong silently reads from a manuscript while John Bell's voice, from offstage, says the text of the manuscript. It is a "list of beautiful things" describing a loved person in sensual terms. Claire approaches John at his cluttered work desk...

THE POWER PRINCIPLE: Trade Paperback Volume 2
Now united and taking care of Department REBUS business! Issues 9-12, plus the two 1990 issues reprinted for the first time.
THE POWER PRINCIPLE: Trade Paperback Volume 2
Now united and taking care of Department REBUS business! Issues 9-12, plus the two 1990 issues reprinted for the first time.
Hello everyone!
I'm back to fund the continuing issues of my comic, The Power Principle! There's really no way to express my gratitude to all those who have gotten me this far with every dollar of support and every Like, Love, and Repost/reTweet of my work along the way. I've moved to a free webcomic format in order to keep myself motivated and accountable. I continued to tell the stories of my heroes (and previous Kickstarter contribution characters) and have managed to complete four more 24-page full-color comics since the last funding campaign. Now I'd like to make them available in printed format! The funds I raise will make it possible to print the collection of issues 9-12 not only for contributors, but to also have some surplus and begin to attend conventions.
To that end, here are the rewards for your contributions:
The Digital PDF will have all the comic content from the website, which includes the original 1990 comics, consolidated in one file. It will also come exclusively with 11 Character Bios from the website as well. When you contribute at the SCALE 3 EVENT Reward Tier and up, this PDF will be included for free.
Swag Giftpack: A print and a t-shirt. One of these images will be the Print:
And the t-shirt will be black with this on the front:
The Trade Paperback (printed)
171 Interior Pages + 3 Editorial = 174 interior pgs.
- Chapter One (Issue 9)– 26 pgs
- Chapter Two (Issue 10) –26 pgs
- Chapter Three (Issue 11) --26 pgs
- Chapter Four (Issue 12)--26 pgs
Insert (Original 1990 Comic)
- Pt. 1 (Issue 1, Vol 0)-36 pgs
- Pt. 2 (Issue 2, Vol 0) -31 pgs
The Chapbook (optionally with SKETCH) : In Jon Westhoff & Bobgar Ornelas' anthology Low Concept 2: Comix Boogaloo, I went back to the drawing board for the first time in about a decade by submitting a 6-page Power Principle prologue story called Captain Planet. (This was before I realized I didn't want to get sued.)
In the Chapbook, I reprint that story, and because I like the idea of showing artistic progress (or am too severe on myself for the first version), I will include the new version with those pages.
This will be a 5.5' X 8.5', 16-page book (with a cover, 12 art pages, and extra blank pages for sketches). Please note: While there are plenty opportunities to get a Chapbook in Tier 5, Tier 7, and Tier 9, THERE WILL ONLY BE 20 CHAPBOOK SKETCHES DONE; 10 for Tier 6 and 10 for Tier 8. This is to help me stay timely to distribute the rewards by the target month.
Cameo Appearance Your likeness will appear and namechecked in upcoming issues, starting at #13. This has been fulfilled for all cameo contributors in previous campaigns.
You get a STORYLINE in upcoming comic arcs. This means I take yourself (or someone you designate, by their consent) and place them in the book as a central character of a plot and story that I devise, ranging from 1-3 issues long, depending on the story's needs. This has always been a joy of mine, and is actually how The Power Principle was created. Now, I continue the theme of exploring the dramatic change that happens when these powers enter people's lives. When I've scripted you in, I'll contact you and run the details by you. If you have any strong objections to what I've planned for your character, I'll gladly shift your character to a new storyline to suit you better.
Just Added!
Risks and challenges
The challenge is in getting the STORYLINE REWARD to the comic page in a timely manner. I hope for the day when I can hire an art team to help produce issues faster and fulfill the reward sooner, but as long as I'm able to write & draw, those rewards will be fulfilled-- even if The Power Principle gets picked up by another publisher for distribution.
Since I do The Power Principle 100% digitally now, the sketches inside the Chapbook will be a challenge, but I'm looking forward to knocking the cobwebs off and finding my pace again for tabling at comic conventions!
But there's no problem in getting your trade paperback to a printer -- it's already drawn and waiting to go!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) is not a senator to shy away from controversy. Or rumors that he's a leading Democratic contender for the 2020 election. Or that fact that it's time to decriminalize marijuana on a national level.
In a live Facebook video on Aug. 1, Booker announced a comprehensive bill –the Marijuana Justice Act of 2017–to reform cannabis legislation, saying…
"For decades, the failed War on Drugs has locked up millions of nonviolent drug offenders—especially for marijuana-related offenses—at an incredible cost of lost human potential, torn apart families and communities, and taxpayer dollars. The effects of the drug war have had a disproportionately devastating impact on Americans of color and the poor.
Today I'm introducing the Marijuana Justice Act, a bill that if passed will legalize marijuana at the federal level and go even further in an effort to remedy many of the failures of the War on Drugs. This is the right thing to do for public safety, and will help reduce our overflowing prison population."
The Bill is a five-part plan that has, at its core, a social justice platform that would address racial disparities in marijuana-related crimes. Here's what it includes…
1. Removing marijuana from the US Controlled Substances Act; ending the federal criminalization of cannabis.
2. Incentivizing states to mitigate existing and ongoing racial disparities in state-level marijuana arrests.
3. Expunging federal convictions specific to marijuana use and possession.
4. Allowing individuals currently serving time in federal prison for marijuana-related violations to petition the court for re-sentencing.
5. Creating a community reinvestment fund to invest in communities most impacted by the failed War on Drugs.
"Not only is it imperative we end our failed experiment of marijuana prohibition, we must also ensure justice for those who suffered most under these draconian policies," said NORML Executive Director Erik Altieri, "We applaud Senator Booker for introducing this robust legislation that would not only remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, but provide a path forward for the individuals and communities that were most disproportionately targeted by our nation's failed war on marijuana consumers."
Will it pass? Probably not, since there are still many concerns about cannabis use and policy nation-wide. Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced a bill in 2015 to reschedule marijuana, but it got no support from other senators.
According to a 2017 Quinnipiac University poll, 59 percent of Americans support full marijuana legalization and 71 percent believe that states, not the federal government, should set marijuana policy. Thirty states, Washington, DC along with the US territories of Guam and Puerto Rico, have already enacted legislation specific to the physician-authorized use of cannabis. An estimated 63 million Americans now live in jurisdictions where anyone over the age of 21 may possess cannabis legally. Voters overwhelmingly support these policy changes.
These policies have not negatively impacted workplace safety, crime rates, traffic safety, or youth use patterns. They have also stimulated economic development and created hundreds of millions of dollars in new tax revenue. A 2017 report estimates that 123,000 Americans are now working full-time in the cannabis industry. Tax revenues from states like Colorado, Oregon, and Washington now exceed initial projections. Numerous studies have also identified an association between cannabis access and lower rates of opioid use, abuse, hospitalizations, and mortality.

There's always a story behind. And this blog, just like anything else, has one.
Basically, I'm a bibliophile and have always been a fan of the thought of living inside a book with a pretty great story. For most of us, reading is an escape. Escape from reality. Escape from the sh*** of life. But I've come to realization that these stories we read make our "reality" much more hard to live in than it already is. So I wrote something about it:
"Fiction makes you feel hopeful and miserable at the same time. You hope that these characters who exist in books may actually have an equal in real life. It's miserable to think that nope, they won't be found anywhere else. Or maybe they will be, somewhere worlds away from you.
Reality makes you feel hopeful and miserable at the same time. You get a hold of your life, so you hope that you can make it as fascinating - with just the right amount of twists and turns - as the ones you've read. It's miserable to think that some things can always ruin everything and the life you're trying to live may not be as pleasing as you want it to be.
They both suck, right? But come to think of this:
Fiction gives you hope and makes you dream. While reality gives you a chance to live that dream and so you continue to hope as your own story goes on..
It's possible to live in both worlds. Don't get yourself stuck in one."
You may or may not agree, but this is how I see it.
There is always a slice of reality in fictions. I believe that the writers always leave a 'piece of them' in their works. The characters always portray someone from those authors' lives--past or present. The stories are somehow based in old or current real-life experiences.
In reality, there's always a slice of fiction. People's mind tend to be so creative--that's how we are able to build our dreams.
So this blog is inspired by both reality and fiction, by life and books. And this will always be inspired by every slice of life--from the people I met and I'm going to meet, to the books I've read and about to read, to the places I've been to and I'm still dreaming to visit one day.
I don't see myself as an inspiration or something worthy as that but through anything that inspires me, I hope I can reach to you--through this blog, I hope you'll be inspired, too.

Having spent the morning weeding in the Great Garden we were very pleased to have the conclusion of our labours marked by a Red Arrows fly past !
Month: July 2011
Visit by the Society of Architectural Historians (GB)
Probably the most engaging and enervating visit yet. A refreshing mixture of educated observation, insight and provocative assertion from a group of highly informed, cultivated and learned visitors. Appreciatively encouraging and supportive. A prospective visit by another group of members planned for the immediate future, with the promise of visits by other interested groups.

Jedburgh was Canada's 5229th most expensive suburb by listed median house price this month.
With Jedburgh's median house price at $47,000 in May , it is one of the cheapest neighbourhoods compared to the rest of Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan has the sixth most amount of properties available to property investors, with Jedburgh having 299th most in the province, out of a total of 367.
Is Jedburgh a good investment prospect? It's never a perfect science, but the data we have given us a number of indicators.
If you are looking at investment properties in Jedburgh, then there are about the same homes for sale than there were three months ago. This would indicate that house prices will be influencing it towards being a steadily priced.
As one of Saskatchewan's many potential real estate investment neighbourhoods, Jedburgh needs to be carefully researched before investing in – and remember to check especially the locations within an area before spending - the old estate agent's mantra of location, location, location has never lost its importance.

My husband loves to cook {gotta love that right?}.
For ages he has wanted a better way to store his spices than all crammed into a freezer bag in the cabinet.
I'm not sure why...
For Christmas I bought him a magnetic board and magnetic tins from Ikea. Super handy, but nothing special to look at.
Little bit of fabric, hot glue, kraft paper, my Cameo, glue dots and a few Sharpies later...
This now hangs proudly on the wall in our kitchen. It adds a great pop of color in a room seriously lacking in excitement... our kitchen is lame {totally '50s, but in an uncool, nonvintagey way}.
I am also creating a family command center using another magnetic board from Ikea. I heart Ikea.

The EYFS curriculum provides:
quality and consistency
a secure foundation for all children for good progress through school and life
partnerships between different practitioners
partnerships between parents or carers and practitioners
- equality of opportunity for all children
EYFS Profile
All early years providers must complete a profile for each child in the final term of the year in which they turn five. The main purpose is to provide an accurate assessment of individual children at the end of the EYFS. The profile describes each child's attainment against 17 early learning goals, together with a short narrative about their learning characteristics.
Home school books
Please remember to work with your child each week completing their Home School Books, looking through what your child has done at school that week and then sharing some of your home experiences with us. It really helps children build their communication skills and self-confidence. Please make sure it comes back to school on a Monday so that we have time to get it ready for the Friday.
Your child will be doing PE every Tuesday. Please make sure that their PE is in school by this day. They will need a white T Shirt, black shorts and pumps they can fasten themselves! Remember to name everything.
Please remember to send in your child's wellies as without these they cannot fully access the outside environment. The rule is 'No Wellies, No Bikes'
Reading Book
Please make sure that this comes into school daily. We would really appreciate a short comment in the reading record book each time you read.
Library Book
Every Tuesday your child will have the opportunity to choose a library book to share at home. Please ensure it is returned by the following Thursday to allow a new choice to be made.
School day
Please make sure that your child is at school for 8:40 each morning and then collected at 3:15. If someone different is going to collect at the end of the day please let your child's Key Worker know.
Snack Money - This is now due and your child's £6 snack money allows us to supply enhanced snack on a Friday as well as baking materials. Alternatively if you would like to pay £36 for the year that would be great.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to speak to us.

Merry Christmas from Codentia!
This is the 7th time I've posted a blog to say "Merry Christmas!" to you - our wonderful clients, colleagues, collaborators and all the rest. Each of those years has been interesting to look back on, but 2015 has been a rollercoaster - in a good way.
Since June 2006 when we formed Mattched IT, Steve and I have had 'that conversation' which many entrepreneurs will be familiar with - 'Are we just throwing good money after bad? Is it time to throw in the towel and do something else?' - and thankfully both times we agreed to try for just a little longer.
Ultimately this brought us to February 2015 and the incorporation of Codentia Ltd in Jersey, where I am now resident (having grown up here, originally). Business had been good - and growing steadily - for some time and we kept talking about finally expanding our team.
Fast forward to the autumn and we were accepting applications for an Apprentice Developer - as well as taking on Sue part-time to help manage the administrative side of the business, which was beginning to get somewhat unruly (as some of you may have noticed!). Interviews brought us face to face with some great people - some of whom I'm sure we are going to encounter in their future careers - but ultimately led to where we are now, with two Apprentices as part of our full-time team.
Ciara had recently graduated from Highlands College and has a keen interest in both the creative and technical aspects of software (and web) development, and is currently on a path which will see her train as a LAMP stack developer, specialising in WordPress Websites as well as Theme and Plugin development.
Meanwhile Alex, who was just approaching the end of the Digital Jersey Coding Programme, joined us and is working on cross-skilling to Microsoft .NET, specifically C# and the MVC framework, allowing him to support both our own products and client assets which run on the Windows stack.
Both are taking responsibility for first (and increasingly second) line support and as we move into 2016, you'll be hearing from them more and more. I couldn't be more excited - we weren't sure that we'd find the right person to join our team, but we've found two. They've set the bar very high for the next set of candidates.
2016 is already promising to be even busier and even more fun, with HackJsy returning in March, the Digital Jersey Coding Programme (on which I serve as a mentor) starting in January and 'Friday Night Innovation Club' continuing throughout the year - not to mention our other initiatives such as WordPress training courses - so I hope you'll join us as the journey continues!
Christmas / New Year - Office Hours & Support
Those of you who have been with us for a while will know that we close down completely from 18th December to 4th January when we start off the new year with full office hours again. I'll be away until 11th January, but Ciara and Alex will be on hand if you need any support.
Any new enquiries will be picked up on my return; but if you are an existing client requiring urgent assistance, please send an email to email@example.com or visit our help center at https://codentia.groovehq.com/help_center - we will do our best to pick this up as quickly as possible.
It just remains for me to say Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year from all (five!) of us here at Codentia. See you in 2016!

Oddly enough, I'm speaking on this very topic Monday night in Lancaster's Theology on Tap series at Annie Bailey's pub. Some quick thoughts, beginning with the second question, why this Bible?
My basic reply is pragmatic. We turn to the Bible because it is our book. When I read David Tracy's The Analogical Imagination, gosh, 15 years ago, I didn't like his concept of the Bible as a "classic." I wanted to be able to say that something inheres in the Bible that makes it special. However, I can't find a meaningful way to articulate that. (More on that below.) So I return to a more pragmatic understanding.
The Bible is our book because we continue to practice the reading and interpretation of it. We continue to invite scripture to shape our imaginations and conversations. But we do not -- and have never -- given the Bible the final or only word. One might add something else, but this claim has some problems: The Bible provides our primary witness to the story of God and our people. That's sort of true, but spelling out the qualifications would take more time than I can give. Anyway, this understanding of the Bible as our book implies some responses to the first question, "to what end" we read it.
- We read it because it connects us with the church through the ages and around the world.
- We read it in search of the transforming power of God, because the church frequently testifies to the power of God at work on our reading of scripture.
- We read it to find inspiration, transformation, challenge, and comfort.
- We read it to shape our imaginations and our questions -- that is, to shape us.
I would argue that this pragmatic understanding is grounded in history. We got the Bible because people went to great pains to copy it. As Jewish and Christian literature multiplied, we find Christian leaders saying, "Here's what we'll read in church (and not the other stuff)." That's essentially what Luther is doing in translating the Bible. He includes James and Hebrews, but he notes his major problems with both. On James, he describes the problem in precisely a pragmatic vein: It's okay to read it, even if Luther could do without it. In other words, we do in fact read the Bible because our ancestors have read it.
I also made a negative claim, that I can't make sense of saying meaning, inspiration, or authority inheres to the Bible. What about that?
- The church, ecumenically considered, does not have a single Bible. For most NT authors, the Bible was Greek versions of Jewish scriptures, not the Old Testament we have today. For the author of Jude, the Bible included the Book of Enoch. For the Ethiopic church, Enoch remains in the canon. What Bible are we talking about, and how do we defend the definition? (Quick footnote: Of course we Protestants read scripture in the context of the whole. I'm simply saying that whole isn't "natural" or inherent.)
- To ascribe inherent value to the Bible implies something about the status of biblical books in relation to other books. I have no desire to change the canon of my church. However, I defy anyone to explain how the epistle of Jude offers more wisdom than, say, 4 Ezra.
- Many, many persons have lived exemplary Christian lives without ever reading the Bible -- or hearing it in any level of detail. Obviously, the Bible is a huge part of the context, but the authority for their Christian lives did not reside in the Bible.
- I avoid attributing properties to the Bible because believing the "right things" about the Bible has never guaranteed healthy interpretation. In fact, I'm not sure there's any evidence that such belief would foster healthy interpretation.
- The main reason I don't believe authority inheres in the Bible is spelled out in my recent entries. The Bible doesn't speak with a unified voice, nor can we assume that taking the Bible as a whole will result in a coherent voice. If we're honest about the Bible, we know that there are dimensions of it (notice, I didn't say "parts") that we privilege and others that we don't. (This is not to say that we have any business skipping by dimensions of scripture -- or parts of it, for that matter. I'm committed to engaging the whole of scripture.) Such decisions are not -- and cannot -- be traced to some inherent pattern we find in the Bible. They are instead the product of communal discernment, usually informal discernment, over a long period of time.
I don't doubt the storyline, but let's think about that critically. What drives someone to open the Bible? There's already a context of a faith community that has somehow implanted the thought that the Bible might contain answers. If they open the drawer to find a Dear Abby anthology, or even the Gita or the Qu'ran, the story would work differently, yes? And what about that Bible? Are we to think they just randomly open to, say, Hosea and the love of God broke through to them? Mark? But wait a minute. Gideon Bibles always come with packaging. There's a guide to how to read the Bible there, complete with recommended verses (and page numbers? I'm not sure). In other words, we don't have the Bible speaking on its own to a lone individual; we have communities of faith and conventions of interpretation surrounding this event. That's how the Bible comes to life.
One final thought. The things I'm saying are not the result of modernist historical criticism, nor of postmodern linguistics. I'm a product of both, of course. However, these concerns go at least as far back as Augustine and Origen. Early Christians knew the Bible was messy; for that matter, neither Augustine nor Origen had a fixed canon that matches ours. That is why they developed principles of interpretation to guide communities in their reading of scripture, including allegorical exegesis and the law of love. Scripture comes to life when we read it in the context of walking the path of faith along with our brothers and sisters.

Gotta Eat & Drank! Sambar
On Thursday night we hit Culver City for some happy hour and latest X-Men flick,
. Since moving to the west side, we've slowly discovered some cool and favorite spots around the Marina Del Rey and Culver City area. Downtown Culver City is quite beautiful with classic architecture and a bevy of spots to eat and drank like Rush Street, Honey Kettle Fried Chicken, Lyfe Kitchen, City Tavern, The Culver Hotel and Coldstone for dessert. That also brings people in so finding a seat can get tricky if you don't time it right. There's plenty of places to check out but we were running late and missed Happy Hour at several joints, one ended at 5:45 PM, what the f*ck...Across the street from the Arclight is Sambar, a beautifully built Thai and Indian infused restaurant. It felt pretty classy but service was very friendly as we sidled up to the bar and ordered cocktails, lamb meatballs, spicy calamari, bacon and cheese naan and chicken masala. The bartender was whipping up some test cocktails and gave us one to try, it was smooth and tasty. The food was all excellent, very light, well spiced and flavorful. Full, slightly buzzed and happy, we made our way to the theater. Sambar's Happy Hour runs 4:00 - 7:00 PM Tuesday to Sunday and we'll definitely be back.

The Ravens average less than 17 points per game on the road, a far cry from their average at home which is more than double that.
With the exception of Joe Flacco's second half at the San Diego Chargers, he has been a below average quarterback on the road, too.
They scored 9 points at the Kansas City Chiefs, 13 points at the Pittsburgh Steelers and 16 at the Chargers. Flacco led the offense to just one touchdown drive in those victories combined.
But somehow, the Ravens are 4-2 away from home, already equal to their win total there one season ago when they finished 12-4 overall.
"We've got the third-best road record in the National Football League, so that's pretty good," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "But then again, our guys take the right approach. We're certainly not patting ourselves on the back."
Such a record is possible because of a 24th-ranked defense that has given up the fewest points in the NFL in November. They've allowed 15 to the Cleveland Browns, 20 to the Oakland Raiders, 13 to the Pittsburgh Steelers and 13 to the Chargers in going 4-0.
They've done it despite losing cornerback Lardarius Webb to season-ending knee surgery, cornerback Jimmy Smith to a groin tear and linebacker Ray Lewis to a triceps tear, but the Ravens are allowing only 19.9 points per game for the season.
That's 7th-best in the NFL, even though overall the defense ranks only 24th. Harbaugh called his team, now 9-2 and in command of the AFC North, special after the victory in San Diego.
He explained in more detail Monday.
"They are special because of the way they interact with each other," Harbaugh said. "The way they handle adversity, the way they work with each other, the way they care about one another -- all those intangible things that it's really hard to quantify -- and everybody just kind of wants to shrug their shoulders at and say, 'What is that?'
"If you have ever been on a team, like most of us have at one point in time or another, you really have a feel for that, and you kind of know what that means."

Kings Road
Social Worker
When D first moved into CMG's Kings Road there had been serious concerns about his physical wellbeing, diet and nutrition and some behavioural difficulties too. I completed a review for D and I am delighted with the progress he has made since being supported by CMG. D is clearly very happy with where he lives and has a good rapport with his support staff and also yourself. I am very pleased with the variety of social activities D is encouraged to participate in and he is also doing extremely well at college. In fact there have been no reports of any behavioural issues / concerns for many, many months (in comparison with how he was prior to moving to Kings Road). I am also very impressed with how quickly D's physical wellbeing improved soon after moving into Kings Road. His diet is varied and healthy, and he has made tremendous improvements in terms of managing his personal care. I am confident that the support D receives from CMG at Kings Road is of a high standard.

Read with Me
You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold;
Richer than I you can never be--
I had a parent who read to me.
-Strickland Gillilan
Reading with Your Child Provides:
Improved language skills.
Better memory skills.
Increased listening skills.
Expanded understanding of self and the world.
An appreciation of books and reading.
A closer relationship between parent and child.
Some Children Need to Catch Up to Meet Grade-Level Expectations in Reading:
On the first day of kindergarten, the range between the higher-end students' language development and readiness for reading and the lower-end students' language development and readiness for reading is 5 years. Some kindergartners start the first day of school with the language development of a 3-year-old, while others come with the language development of an 8-year-old. They all make a year of growth in kindergarten.
Students who are three years behind grade-level expectations at the end of kindergarten may require 160-220 minutes of direct reading instructional time from parents and teachers each day during first, second, and third grade to catch up by third grade.
Catch-up growth is easiest to make early. It is easiest from birth to kindergarten. It is more difficult from kindergarten to third grade. It is more challenging still in middle school. It is hardest of all in high school.
Parents who read 20 minutes a day with their child provide significant support to the direct instruction she receives at school. This parental support considerably helps the child catch up as quickly as possible.
Please READ with Your Child EVERY DAY:
Listen to your child read to you at least 20 minutes each day.
If you would like to read to your child (a strategy that also develops students' reading skills), please do so in addition to the 20 minutes that she reads to you each day.
Make reading a part of your family's daily routine.
Show your enthusiasm for books.
Have conversations with your child about the books.
Ensure that reading is always FUN!
Please see the "Reading Tips" link to learn more tips for reading with your child.

Our employees, families, and friends use our balm every day – and now, so does an ever-growing populous across the world.
Perceiving the unmet demand in our increasingly health-conscious society, we have been pleased to bring all natural lip balm to the convenience level. Retailers across America are realizing the appeal and benefit of natural and organic products, however convenience retailers have drastically fallen behind in this market shift, not realizing the potential. Market research proves that the demand for natural lip balm is at an all-time high – but who is actually meeting this demand at a convenience level? Balm of Gilead Lip Balm does just that. Ingredients are key. Breaking away from petroleum by-products and synthetics, we offer a truly natural and effective lip balm that is nutrient-rich with a difference that can be felt. It works, and it works well.
Balm of Gilead emerged as a Paleo Certified, all natural skincare company, and has become a leading brand of natural lip care at a convenience level the past few years. We sell and distribute a full line of natural skin care, but have seen a strong demand for our lip balm in the convenience store markets. Over the past 2 years alone, we have doubled the number of convenience stores in our distribution network, as well as gross sales.
We have chosen only the finest ingredients to handcraft our natural balm, resulting in a product that is uniquely compatible with our skin, yielding superior absorption and penetration. Balm of Gilead Lip Balm contains:
- Organic Beeswax– a natural emollient and humectant, that draws moisture to the skin and seals it in; it also contains the reviving vitamin A.

Also contains phytosterols, which have been shown to aid in skin repair, and other valuable substances like lecithin, potassium, and sterolin, all of which are beneficial for the skin.
- Natural Flavors – Balm of Gilead is flavored by natural flavor oils and/or pure, unadulterated essential oils
- Absolutely free of synthetics, fragrances, petroleum by-products, and paraben. Balm of Gilead is naturally preserved by the addition of rosemary oil extract, a natural antioxidant effective in preventing lipid peroxidation.
- 4 natural, refreshing lip balms: Peppermint, Spearmint & Australian Tea Tree, Coconut & Lime, Chocolate Mint
- A product that meets demand at a convenience level – and wins loyal, return customers.
- A lip balm that everyone needs and enjoys year-round!
Balm of Gilead has pleasantly surprised both consumers and retailers across the US. In a saturated market of lip and skin care, Balm of Gilead has outperformed top brands, to the amazement of store owners and customers alike.
The market demand is there. Convenience stores have lagged in meeting this natural demand at a convenience level. We're here to help – with our crisp, attractive packaging and space-saving rack, we offer a truly natural and effective lip balm without petroleum by-products and other questionable ingredients. There is only one, Balm of Gilead.

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday it will require manufacturers of popular sleep medications such as Ambien to scale back their recommended dosages for women, in light of new data showing some people remain impaired well into the next morning, even as they climb behind the wheel to head to work.
The new edict will affect the labeling of drugs that contain zolpidem, a widely used ingredient in sleep aids. FDA officials settled on the new rules after driving simulations and laboratory studies showed that eight hours after taking the medication, as many as 15 percent of women and 3 percent of men still had enough of the drug in their systems to impair driving "to a degree that increases the risk of a motor vehicle accident."
An even higher percentage of patients experienced a lack of mental alertness the morning after using extended-release zolpidem products, the agency found.
"After analyzing these data, we felt it necessary to add new drug safety information into the drug's labeling," Ellis Unger, director of the FDA's Office of Drug Evaluation, told reporters Thursday. "We have a particular concern about driving."
The move will require drugmakers to slash recommended doses by half for women, from 10 milligrams to 5 milligrams for immediate-release products and from 12.5 milligrams to 6.25 milligrams for extended-release products. The agency also said drugmakers should consider lowering recommended doses for men and should more elaborately describe on their labels the potential next-morning effects posed by zolpidem.
There have been numerous incidents in recent years involving accidents caused by drivers allegedly under the influence of sleep medications. Last month, for example, a New Jersey man was sentenced to more than three years in prison for causing a fatal head-on collision while impaired by Ambien. In 2006, then-Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-Mass.) faced charges after he crashed into a barricade near the Capitol in the middle of the night. He said he was disoriented from taking prescription drugs, including Ambien.
Unger said Thursday that the FDA has received about 700 "adverse event" reports in recent years, but in most cases it was difficult to determine whether the driver's impairment was specifically related to zolpidem or whether other factors played a role, such as the use of alcohol or other drugs.
He said the next-morning effects of zolpidem became clearer after driving simulations conducted during the approval process for another sleep medication, Intermezzo, which was approved last year. Those findings, combined with laboratory blood tests provided by manufacturers, showed that the level of drowsiness resulting from zolpidem can last longer than initially was expected.
The studies showed that women eliminate the drug from their bodies more slowly than men, although it isn't clear why, Unger said. Officials also cautioned that people with high levels of zolpidem in their blood can remain impaired even if they feel wide awake.
"All insomnia drugs are potent medications, and they must be used carefully," Russell Katz, director of the FDA's Division of Neurology Products, said in a statement.
FDA officials said people taking zolpidem, which also includes popular drugs such as Edluar and Zolpimist, should continue with their prescribed doses until consulting with a doctor.
Unger said the FDA will continue to evaluate the risk of next-morning impairment with other insomnia drugs, and it will push manufacturers of new sleep medications to conduct more research during the approval process.
"We are asking sponsors of medications that will be used for sleep to do these kinds of driving simulation studies for new drugs that are being developed," he said.
According to the agency, doctors dispensed about 39 million prescriptions for zolpidem products in 2011, and about 9 million patients received zolpidem products from U.S. outpatient retail pharmacies. Sixty-three percent of those patients were women.

Global fast food company Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) introduced its edible nail polish called "Finger lickin good" in Hong Kong this week. The nail polish available in two colours, beige and red, are made from natural ingredients, which are edible.
KFC claims that the nail polishes taste like their signature chicken flavours, original and hot and spicy, which would soon be available to the general public, CNN reported. KFC said that this would help its customers make a fashion statement as well as enjoy the fried chicken flavours by licking the nail polish.
The fast food giant, in collaboration with marketing firm Ogilvy and Mather (O and M), has devised a social media campaign to promote KFC's edible nail polishes and attract potential customers.
"The recipe for our edible nail polish is unique and was specifically designed to hold the flavor, but to also dry with a glossy coat similar to normal nail polish," John Koay, creative director of Ogilvy & Mather was quoted by the CNN as saying. He added that the campaign is designed to be interesting and fun to increase excitement around the KFC brand in Hong Kong.
To popularise the use of edible nail polish among people, a video has also been released online that shows a girl licking her fingers and a boy dancing while showing off his painted nails.
KFC has reportedly also sent the nail polish samples to various media organisations.
According to the BBC review, "The 'Hot & Spicy' flavour came in a trendy burnt orange shade similar to Tabasco hot sauce. The 'Original Recipe' was a dirty olive green colour with black specks - a far cry from the advertised nude shade. On closer examination, we found both bottles had expired a few days ago. The green shade had clearly oxidised."
When it came to various tastes of nail polishes, BBC said that they tasted exactly like the paste used in KFC's fried chicken.
However, the colours on the nails were nowhere close to those marketed, the BBC review said.

The East Harlem Neighborhood Plan has been released! After almost 10 months of working on a community based plan to inform a proposed rezoning of the neighborhood, Community Voices Heard, the City Council Speaker, the Manhattan Borough President, and Manhattan Community Board 11 are excited to step into the next phase of our work around affordable housing development, public housing improvements, and job creation.
In East Harlem, since May 2015, we have been working to create a plan for the long-term development of El Barrio. We held numerous visioning sessions where attendance varied from 100 to 200 people, but the kick off of the process and the final forum both had over 400 stakeholders in attendance! The recommendations in the plan, to be submitted to the city, were developed from concerns and solutions gathered at the visioning sessions, to sub-committees drafting language for the recommendations, to a 21 member steering committee ultimately voting on the final recommendation.
At the final forum on January 27th at El Museo del Barrio, the community was presented with zoning and affordable housing production recommendations. Participants were also able to prioritize all of the recommendations in the plan.
This participatory process gave residents and stakeholders the opportunity to become aware of what rezoning is and why it is being proposed in the community ahead of certification of a plan and Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). This process gave residents and stakeholders an avenue to determine what a rezoning plan should look like if it moves ahead. This was unique because these decisions are typically made behind closed doors in City Hall, a top-down approach.
CVH members prioritized housing and jobs within the rezoning. The plan included recommendations around the preservation of affordable housing, strengthening the policies that protect tenants in adequate housing, building at deeper levels of affordability, improving public housing, and linking New York City residents to apprenticeship programs in the construction industry, so that people can have access to good paying, safe, quality jobs. These are great victories and have set a foundation for which to start from moving forward. We voted down some recommendations and some we still believe need to go even further in addressing inequality in housing, community amenities, and access to good jobs. But our fight does not stop here. We will continue to organize and build power around the future of the community.
CVH participated because we see the need to capture community benefits in the future development of the community. Our membership does not see rezoning as the ultimate solution to the housing crisis but a tool, if used carefully, to have a voice in development. From this point, we look forward to working with our project partners to move the recommendations into implementation of policy.
"What we need is real affordable housing and the kind of housing that is actually inclusive- housing that we can afford to pay for with our wages that are fairly low. We also need jobs that will allow us to get into the new housing built. Affordable is getting to the point where the word affordable doesn't mean anything! With some of the jobs people have you can hardly afford to pay for this so called housing that is supposed to be affordable. It would be unacceptable to put more luxury housing in this neighborhood [El Barrio] when no one that lives here or that was raised here can afford to live in. I can't afford to live in the luxury housing across from East River Houses and NYCHA hasn't been able to keep up with the repairs that a building this old needs. It's taken them 7 to 8 months to a year for them to come to appointments that they made with me to make repairs. That includes plastering, painting, a kitchen cabinet is falling out of the wall, toxic mold, and they have made no in roads on any of these apartments even though it is the law. This is a major health problem! Some people here are paying thousands of dollars a month and they [NYCHA] can't maintain them. This is outside the security problems we have to deal with," said Lydia Guerrero-Barlow, CVH Member-Leader and resident of East River Houses.

Galmudug state warns against illegal roadblocks in its territory
Somalia's Federal Member State of Galmudug has warned the freelance militias against setting up illegal roadblocks in its territory.
Omar Moalim Ali, the deputy commissioner of Adado city Police force told Radio Shabelle that they have zero tolerance for the illegal roadblocks aimed to rob and harm civilians.
Ali added that the state forces will act quickly and leave no stone unturned to remove all roadblock erected on the streets in Galgadud and Mudug regions in central Somalia.
The commander's remarks came a day after Galmudug regional troops eliminated several illegal roadblocks set up by local militiamen during an operation.

A dhuni is (according to the Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc.) a sacred site represented as a cleft in the ground. This cleft is emblematic of the yoni or female vulva and generative organ. A dhuni therefore represents a site of worship dedicated to Shakti.
The etymology of the word Dhuni is connected with the Sanskrit root dhvan, to dun or to din. Sayana explains it by bending or shaking, and Theodor Benfey, too, translates it by to shatter.
Honoring the dhuni
A dhuni is worshipped by spiritual intention and the kindling of a flame inside it. Suitable materials are offered to the dhuni and consumed by the heat or flame. This represents the eternal process of change and transformation on all levels of existence.
"Like a river, a dhuni is always changing. Each dhuni also has its own personality that is as much subject to moods as a person. The glow of the dhuni is both a receiver and a transmitter, and like a screen on which Rorschach-like images are projected, it delivers a code".[1]
As the yoni is the nexus from which all manifest beings come into this world, the worship of the dhuni represents a sacred nexus for the path of return from the physical to spiritual level. This is an intentional process of inversion or return to our spiritual source. The dhuni is a sacred site and focal point for this form of spiritual exertion or sadhana.
Aside from the offering of sacred fuel to a dhuni, mantras are also offered, as well as the sounds of diverse musical instruments and ecstatic dance and gesture.
Although several cultures retain traditions of fire worship (out of which the zorastrianism is perhaps the most famous), a unique feature of the dhuni tradition is that it is the dhuni, the actual site itself which is considered sacred, not exclusively the fire kindled within it.
Shirdi Sai Baba
Sai Baba of Shirdi is certainly the most influential modern "Supersoul" to tend the Dhuni which he kept lit at that place until October 15, 1918 when he moved on. It is said that the same fire has been kept burning by Hindu devotees who were familiar with the notion of agnihotri or worship by offering fire. This dhuni was used to create sacred ash also known as udi.[2] This sacred ash was distributed among the devotees.[3] Much of the popularity of Joss sticks from India is due to this ancient tradition and this may have roots in the ceremonies referred to in the Mahabharata and also in the Ramayana. Many useful details can be found in the Shri Sai Satcharita which has been most beautifully translated into English language by Shri Nagesh Vasudev Gunaji, B.A., LL.B and which can be downloaded from various Shirdi Sai Baba web sites. A flame still burns at the Samadhi- Mandir although this may not be at the original site.

Tracey Rowledge trained as a fine artist, but during her career she has become recognized as an accomplished practitioner of traditional bookbinding, imaginatively pushing both the technical possibilities of the form and the context in which it is employed. She is accustomed to working with found marks, texts and stories. She says: 'It's a preoccupation – how and why we make marks, and what they mean to me and to other people. A mark always evokes an emotional response. And with bookbinding, through gold tooling on leather, I can use a non-gestural process to create something that evokes movement and spontaneity – and yet it's completely embedded in the tradition and processes of gold tooling. I love that extreme play.'
The feel of Rowledge's work falls somewhere between two Victorian trades that are now almost obsolete: the public letter-writer who copies the thoughts of illiterate passers-by onto paper for the purposes of business or romance, and the psychic, channelling more profound messages from beyond. Rowledge is an interpreter; her work is an emotional response to traces of other people's existence. For example, she will rescue notes on scraps of paper discarded in London's gutters, which she gold tools on leather in her studio, the gilt marks true to each original scribble and smudge. In her work as a designer binder she responds to more self-consciously literary texts. A wider political context isn't part of this creative framework: 'when I'm working to commission I'm responding to a text, so it won't necessarily have a reference to anything else – other than my constant preoccupation with painting.'
Rowledge was invited to participate in the Cape Farewell expedition to Disko Bay in 2008, a venture in which 24 creative practitioners travelled up the West Coast of Greenland, observing climate change and making work in response to the experience. I've admired Rowledge's work since seeing her 'vernacular' gold tooling at the Crafts Council over a decade ago, and so I was eager to hear her reaction as an artist to the environment I was about to encounter. A little star-struck, I arranged to visit her in her studio in West London to hear how, as a celebrant of human ephemera, she responded to the marks made by man on the Arctic wilderness. We started out by talking about the landscape.
NC: What did you think of the ice?
TR: I was really amazed at how noisy it was. It was annoying that my only points of reference were really banal things, like the blue stripe in toothpaste, when you're looking at icebergs… it looks like stripy toothpaste and you think 'This is so beautiful, but I don't know quite how else to look at it.' Or when we were ashore you can hear this noise, and it sounded like a farmer's boom to scare away birds, but it was the icebergs calving. Really strange. Then I could hear what sounded like a far-away motorway, but it was really just the ice.
NC: All these are quite domestic metaphors …
TR: But it was so alien to me – the landscape, the seascape – that I didn't quite know how to understand it. At one point I just sat down and did a drawing because I couldn't take it in. Drawing was quite useful, because it really made me look long and hard at what it was.
NC: What did you draw?
TR: I was drawing the icebergs. Because you're looking at one and thinking – 'I suppose it's quite big really' – and when they turn upside down, you can tell, because they have a completely different character to them. And then when they calve, of course, they shift, so it's really getting to know the nature of what you're looking at.
Rowledge created three series of 'Arctic Drawings'. To some extent the works are scientific documents: 'created' by the movement of the ship with Rowledge as intercessor, they chart weather and water at a particular instant of time, noted on each drawing alongside the geographical co-ordinates. The scale of the marks and movement is intimate, at times infinitesimal on the large white sheet, and yet one cannot imagine a more direct creative interaction with the vast Arctic environment. Rowledge explains:
'I wanted to use the Arctic water as a way of making images that would become resource material that I could use back in the studio. I took paper with me that I'd researched as being the right kind of paper to apply felt tip to so that the ink would bleed and the image would move. I had the paper cut so it fitted my suitcase and the cabin became my studio. I became very conscious of the movement of the boat and wondered what it would be like if I just leaned over the piece of paper with a pen and used my arm as a pendulum to create a drawing.
'It developed from there. I created the system – but within that there was room for randomness. All I did was decide where I would put the felt tip down and what colour to use. When the felt tip left the paper I would pick up another colour. I collected Arctic water in a cooking pot, and wet the sheet of paper in a baking tray, then left it to air dry in the cabin. They really became like emotional landscapes for me. I just made the work intuitively and I didn't think too consciously about it. I didn't think, "Is this finished work? Is it unfinished work? Is it resource material?" I just made it.
'I worked all the time that we were on the boat, and I set up a pendulum under the chair in my cabin, so that when I went ashore the drawings would be recorded in my absence. I recorded the date and time of each so I could get the ship's coordinates – they are very site specific – a record of our journey.'
'When I returned to London I spent time with the drawings and decided what the orientation was, because of course they could have been any way up and any way round. Some were eliminated; others were kept. As soon as I could see something that was easily readable, something that looked a bit like an animal or a bit like a flower, it was out: they had to be beyond having that type of reference.
'Along the mountboard of each frame it tells the story: '2008 – Disko Bay – Cape Farewell Expedition'. In Series 3, for which I used the Arctic water and felt tip, you can see that sometimes the sea was very, very rough. I got up at 5 o' clock in the morning and captured this very intense movement. Whereas others look rather like algae, they are calmer and more contemplative. In each drawing you got a very different feel.'
'Series No. 1 is made with black felt tip on paper, using the pendulum underneath the chair. It's so small on such a big piece of white paper. You're immediately drawn in to the detail. When I first came back and looked at them I didn't really quite know what to think about them. I wondered if the paper should be cropped. Normally I work in creating systems for mark-making and I would work with the given dimensions of the piece of scrap paper that I had found. So I had to go about processing this new piece of work that I had made. And the more time I spent with it the more it became apparent that the reason it worked was that actually, they were such little locked pieces of movement within a big piece of paper. And they're not a study. They would become quite ephemeral if they were very small.'
'In Series 2 there were some that were quite big and blobby, but the remaining ones I have are just blocks of colour – this is where the sea was quite calm. What's really interesting to me about these images, for which I used Letraset pens, is how the colour has maintained its own area. The Letraset pens don't really bleed into each other so they've created really interesting images. I just chose those colours because they were colours that I liked and so I took them with me. And they work well together. That's really the beauty of chance sometimes.'
NC: I wanted to ask about your ideas on permanence. I know you've done a lot of conservation work, and although bookbinding needn't always be about preservation, it's a consideration in the field, isn't it? I'm wondering about these marks – the desire to anchor a moment's experience in space and time – and how that relates to the world changing – climate changing…
TR: As soon as you feel the weight of what's happening with climate change you think 'Well, why bother making another object? What's the point really?' But then you get driven to make something because that's what it is in your make up to do, to make your ideas physical. They have to exist. You just get focussed on the idea and lose the bigger picture – perhaps that's survival.
Cambridge 100 Questions Desk
NC: Were there any other projects that came out of the expedition?
TR: There was another idea, which was quite interesting, because I was quite determined that I would not make a book! That would not be my response to climate change. But one evening I was having dinner with Marcus Brigstock and David Nobel, and Marcus asked what was involved in binding a book.
So I explained, and David said, 'Do you know, I think it would be really interesting if you made a book of covenants. You could make a book which would go to "the elders" and it would become a symbol for change, to solve the world's problems.' So we thought 'Yes, that would be a good idea!' And I laughed inwardly, and thought, 'Are we really discussing making a book?!' But I decided, 'It's quite interesting. I'm just using myself as a tool. I've got the knowledge of how to make a book; why don't I just use that as a vehicle to promote this message?'
We thought we'd meet every day to discuss the idea, but of course we didn't because there was so much going on. We did speak about it once or twice. I thought it could be a good idea, but I didn't really want to be driving it – I wanted a partner, someone who would commission me to make it. Then Joe Smith who was on the trip, and works for the Open University specialising in environmental issues, happened to know that there was a project called The 100 Questions Project run by the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership. He put Mike Peirce and me together and we worked on a project in which all the Nobel Prize laureates were asked to write questions to push the thinking on climate change and climate justice.
It started off as a book… and it then turned into a desk! Because there was no end to how many questions would be written. It started off with the Nobel Prize laureates and then it filtered down to the public. It could be that 10,000 questions might be generated, and I couldn't keep adding pages – the book would be so unwieldy, it would end up the size of a room! I'd have to endlessly build more cases. It just wasn't practical.
I felt that there needed to be closure for it. Well, I like the idea that a particular kind of leather-topped desk feels like the place where key thinkers sit and produce their thoughts… My original idea had been to create a leather panel which I had assumed would go on the wall as a backdrop for the book – or as its cover. This became the traditional leather inset for the desk. The image on it symbolised in an abstract way climate change, movement, the intensity of shifts.
I worked with Carl Clerkin who created the most fantastic desk with a very long, extended drawer, and in the drawer were ten compartments for ten questions that could be changed, as and when. The desk was recently on show at the Fitzwilliam Museum and then we hope that it will tour and be available for a lot more people to see.

Located on the northwestern shore of Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City is a popular year-round recreation destination. During winter months, people flock to the Alpine Meadows Ski Resort, which boasts 100 exciting runs that satisfy beginners and experts alike. The 18-hole Tahoe City Golf Course satiates golfers with hours of challenging fun during warmer months. The Tahoe State Recreation Area is found just east of Tahoe City and is an ideal place to partake in outdoor activities, including swimming, picnicking, camping and fishing. Indoor fun is found at the Gatekeeper's Museum, which features exhibits that relate the history of the area, including displays on Native Americans and the logging and tourism industries. Every July, people flock to the Lake Tahoe Music Festival, which takes place just outside Tahoe City at three outdoor venues. The festival features eight concerts in a variety of genres, including jazz, bluegrass and classical orchestral.
Low humidity and high elevation in the winter time has made Lake Tahoe legendary for producing the finest snow. Snowboarders and skiers take pleasure in starting their day early by making powder tracks at Lake Tahoe's premiere ski resorts. If your muscles start to ache after a few days of extreme skiing, take a break and hop on a snowmobile. Blast through the backcountry from dusk till dawn on a premiere snowmobile. Those looking to get wet can make a splash as they kayak their way through the waters. If you prefer to stay dry, take a leisurely hike through Lake Tahoe's scenic trails.
