Beginners only.
I have been playing guitar for 30 years and teaching guitar and bass on and off since 2001. I owned a music school/store/studio in NY for several years but now live in MN. I work well with kids and enjoy watching them grow as musicians and people. I also like to do "Family/Band" lessons--where we get each member on an instrument (guitar, bass, piano, drums, etc.) and the family/group learns to play songs together--or jam, or write and record their own songs! Since there isn't really a platform for it through this website, my price listed for a "90-minute" lesson is not actually 90 minutes, but rather a 45-minute lesson for a group of up to four people. I primarily offer lessons in my home studio but will consider coming to you if its preferred. I also teach beginner level ...
Instruction is primarily focused on general technique, reading music and applying it to the Mandolin. An emphasis on Bluegrass and classical notation and playing.

I have been teaching mandolin since 2004. I focus on proper technique, while also developing ear training and improvisation skills.I basically want to make sure the student has fun and enjoys the experience of learning and playing, while developing their skills on mandolin.
Scott K is a multi-instrumentalist/performer/composer. He has been a music director for Brave New Workshop, Idiot Box, and Blue Umbrella Productions. He has most recently performed in Flying Foot Forum's production of "Alice in Wonderland" and Plymouth Playhouse's production of "Ring Of Fire". He composes and produces music for film, theatre, and other media. Scott currently performs with Orkestar Bez Ime (OBI), an award-winning Twin Cities group that specializes in folk music from the Balkan and Eastern European regions. Scott has also performed Irish folk music, classic funk/soul/r&b, and electronica, while specializing in solo acoustic guitar, both classical and folk styles.
I have had a lot of experience playing basic chords and scales on the mandolin. I wont make you David Grisman but I can help you find it fun and easy to play rhythm and some lead!
I have been a bleeding heart singer/songwriter ever since I was a teenager. My main genre being folk/rock, I started playing guitar at the age of 12 and was singing, playing and writing by the time I was 15. Having been through many music classes myself (mainly in college as a temporary music major at the University of Montana), my collection of knowledge with basic theory and composition combined with my extensive experience with mainstream rock songwriting and performance provides the perfect tools necessary for a beginning or intermediate, aspiring music performer. I used to give private lessons in my later teens/ early twenties so I know how to make the experience fun and easy. and am finishing up a BA English degree at Metro State University.

"A brillian listen"
These stories are wonderfully produced. Somerset Maugham isn't for everyone. His stories, now 75-80, were written in an era less respectful of different races. However, if you get past the irritating terms he uses to denote non-whites, you will see that his real contempt is for the pompous but so often stupid colonials who thought, simply because their country had claimed another, that they personally were rulers and that their worth was so much more than it was. Despite the unevenness of the stories (which knocked it down a star in my rating), Maugham never loses his deliciously scathing wit, razor-like intelligence, and acute eye for the wicked or ironic observation. Moreover, his stories offers a glimpse into a lost world. Having lived over a decade in Southeast Asia, I loved his ability to call up the steamy languidness of the tropics.
However, what makes these stories genuine delights, is the reader. Robert Powell is the master of any accent—and can do 4 or 5 characters at once, keeping each of their voices distinct. Truly a bravura performance that makes for a great audio-book.
"An Olympic Perfect Ten"
The Song of Achilles, as read by Frazer Douglas, is pure lyricism--a love song for the ages. Madeline Miller's simple poetic phrasing soared thanks to Douglas's tender, understated narration. I was enraptured from the start--and spent the last chapters in tears. This is the first audio book I finished, then immediately started again. Now I know how audiences must have felt as they listened to bards reciting the Iliad: entranced.
"Great Audio Theater"
As a fan of both the book and the classic BBC TV miniseries starring Derek Jacobi, I couldn't resist trying out this audio drama version of I, Claudius--especially as it stars some of the great British theater actors, including Jacobi as Augustus, and it recently won an Audie Award for full cast recordings.
What a great piece of audio theater it was! I was so drawn into the story, the characters, and the life of the early Roman Empire that I literally couldn't stop listening. (Since I normally listen as I walk, this was also quite good for my figure!) You find you don't miss the visual element at all--each character is clearly separate and your imagination paints the scene. Great story, great acting--who could ask for more?
"Funny book, hysterical narration"
Brilliantly narrated by Euan Morton, Fool is the perfect example of how a great audio book is far more than a good book well-read. When done right--and the wickedly comedic Morton assuredly does it right--it is an art form of its own. In this case, that means laugh-aloud funny.
The book itself is a delightfully pun-filled riff on King Lear, filled with twisted references to other Shakespeare plays. The writing is clever indeed, but this is in no way high brow humor: potty mouth would come closer to the mark. Think Monty Python, but in a less censored age. While some scenes are rip-roaringly funny, however, the book does get repetitious. Naughty words can only amuse for so long. I think had I merely read it, Fool would soon have begun to feel one-dimensional and flat.
Morton's reading, particularly the charm he gave to the fool, was what kept me addicted. Not only was he able to engage different voices, but he created characters with wholly different personalities. Pocket, the fool, came across as every bit as sweet as he was malicious--all with perfect comedic timing!
While this is not a book I would recommend to those who are offended by salty language and saltier behavior, to all the rest I would say: this is the funniest audio book I have ever listened to.
"Bringing History to Life"
Really good historical fiction is a rarity. Most books calling themselves historical fiction are simply modern murder mysteries or romance novels with a bit of period detail thrown in. But now and then a marvelous book comes along that takes you into the past in with an honesty and intimacy in a way a pure history book never could. Think of Wolf Hall, I Claudius, or The Red Badge of Courage. Imperium is definitely in that category.
This compelling story, beautifully narrated by Simon Jones, brings Cicero and his world alive. You can practically smell the decaying odors of Rome in the final days of the Republic. You are gripped by his scheming, even as you know the ultimate outcome. It takes a great writer to urge you along even when there is no mystery. I highly recommend this audio book to anyone who loves history, politics, biography, or just a plain good story.
"Incandescent Narration"
This is without question the most beautifully narrated book I have experienced in the 10 or more years I have been listening to audio books. It also shows how an exceptional audio book can be so much more effective than prose on a page. I had tried and failed to read The End of the Affair a couple of times in the past, always succumbing to boredom over the unlikable characters, turgid story, and narrow emotional range. (I realize that I'm swimming against the stream here, but even heartfelt anger becomes tedious after a while.) Still, with an actor as gifted as Colin Firth as the narrator, I felt it was worth investing in one more try.
I am so glad I did! Firth made you feel the pain of the characters, pain that had merely seemed self-indulgent when written on the page. His voice gave depth to what otherwise felt like a shallow story line. And while I still found the end of the book to be mawkish, the narrator's many layered voice won't leave my head. That is what a superb audio book can do.
"Historical Fiction at Its Best"
This is a wonderful audiobook--both in the story and the narration. I was bowled over by "Imperium," the first book in Harris's Cicero trilogy, and was dubious that the second book could be as good. I'm happy to say that my fears were unfounded. Admittedly, the story has a less clear moral arc and is darker than that of Cicero's rise to Consul, but that is the real difference between rising to power and wielding it. This is a more complex book, but every bit as gripping: from the Catiline Conspiracy to the rise of Caesar resulting in Cicero's exile. No spoilers here: this is all in the history books. Yet, thanks in part to Simon Jones's excellent narration, I felt such empathy for the lead characters that I actually found myself hoping it would turn out differently.
Good historical fiction adds a depth of understanding that a pure history book cannot. Conspirata is a great example of doing just that.
"Ruined by the narrator"
I was really looking forward to this book, as I had heard so many excellent things about it. I am still looking forward to this book, only this time I will read it. The narrator's wooden style and robotic pronunciation of Korean names and words made it impossible to finish. I was forced to give up half-way through because the weirdly over-enunciated narration was making it impossible for me to focus on the story. What a waste!
"Not a Christmas story"
Although this book was listed by Audible among its holiday selections, the only connection with that category is that the events take place on December 22. Rather, this is an unremittingly depressing account of the last day of a chain restaurant. The manager is very appealing in a Charlie Brown sort of way, always running for the football that will inevitably be yanked away. The reading is well done. But don't expect to come away from this book with any warm feelings about the redemptive power of goodness or hope.
"A lovely Christmas gift"
This short audiobook is charming, lighthearted story that will take you back to your own childhood Christmases. Beautifully produced and read by Dick Cavett. Thank you, Audible, for this lovely Christmas gift.
"Grand epic"
I downloaded this with some trepidation, fearing it would be too dense for listening. But the combination of a very accessible translation and a brilliant reading have proved my concerns unfounded. This is a marvelous way to enjoy one of the masterpieces of classical Roman literature. In many ways, it's better than reading, as the reader glides over names whose pronunciation would baffle me. I have listened to this while jogging and even cooking and have never found myself lost. A great story told by a great storyteller.

I tried the demo, and it was pretty cool. The mechanics and the game world were suprisingly deep, and I found myself playing the demo for an hour and a half just looking for secrets. The visuals are pretty sweet as well.
Anybody else tried the demo? What did you think?
Just played it on my 360 and, to my surprise, I really enjoyed it. If I have some money lying around not being used for anything I can definitely see myself purchasing this. the mechanics worked well, the humor was good and the game looked great over all. definitely impressed with this one so far

Evergreen, red and cranberry glass pearls are beaded and drop beaded to create the illusion of boughs of holly dangling from the wrist. This bracelet gives you that festive holiday feeling! I hope you enjoy creating - and wearing - it as much as I did!

Auntie's Beads Designer
Instructions and Materials
To begin, create all of your drop beads/dangles first. You will want to create 10 6mm red drops and 10 8mm cranberry drops. To do this, pick up each bead on a headpin and make a loop. You can either make a simple loop (as I did) or make a wrapped loop.
On an 8mm jump ring, pick up a 6mm drop, 2 8mm drops and another 6mm drop. Close the jump ring.
Repeat step 2 four more times until all of your drops have been added to jump rings.
Cut a piece of beading wire measuring about 10". String a crimp bead toward one end. Run your wire through half of the toggle then back down through the crimp bead. Crimp. Apply crimp cover.
String the following: 8mm evergreen pearl, 8mm cranberry pearl, a fluted bead cap, 12mm evergreen pearl and another fluted bead cap. Make sure your bead caps are cupping the evergreen pearl. String an 8mm cranberry bead.
String a fluted bead cap, 14mm evergreen pearl and a fluted bead cap. Then string a 4mm jump ring, an 8mm jump ring with drop beads and another 4mm jump ring.
Repeat step 6 four more times until you have used all of your beaded drops.
String a fluted bead cap, 12mm evergreen bead and another fluted bead cap. Then string the following: 8mm cranberry bead, fluted bead cap, 12mm evergreen bead, fluted bead cap, 8mm cranberry bead and 8mm evergreen bead.
String a crimp bead. Run your wire through the other half of your toggle then back down through the crimp bead and 2 8mm beads just strung. Crimp. Apply crimp cover. Cut excess wire.
On a headpin, pick up a scalloped bead cap and an 8mm cranberry bead. Make a loop. Wrap the wire and trim the excess. On a headpin, pick up a petal bead cap and a 6mm red bead. Make a loop. Wrap the wire and trim the excess. Open a 4mm jump ring. Add the 2 drops just made to the jump ring. Attach the ring to the loop on the ring portion of the toggle. Close the jump ring.

Super fun to make and very easy! (though you did throw me for a loop when mentioning the 14mm bead, which isn't on the list) Also made one in with gold accents, then I just HAD to make a necklace to go with that and a pair of earrings. Great pattern!!

This invention was made with Government support under DAAB07-94-C-C009 awarded by the U.S. Department of the Army. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
This application is a division of application Ser. No. 08/379,264 filed Jan. 27, 1995 which application is now U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,262.
This invention relates to a method of making electrical feedthroughs in thermally conductive support substrates used to impart mechanical strength to ceramic multilayer printed circuit boards. More particularly, this invention relates to a method of making electrical feedthroughs in ceramic multilayer printed circuit board support substrates that is compatible with mass production techniques.
Ceramic multilayer printed circuit boards have been used for many years for circuits for electrical apparatus, such as mainframe computers. Such printed circuit boards are made by casting glass and/or ceramic powders together with an organic binder into tapes, called green tapes. A metal circuit can be patterned onto the green tape by screen printing for example. Vias are formed in each green tape layer that are filled with a conductive material to connect the circuits of the various layers electrically. The green tape layers are then aligned and stacked, pressed together, and fired to burn off organic residues and sinter the glass, thereby forming a fired ceramic multilayer circuit board.
Originally ceramics such as alumina were used to form the green tape layers, but these ceramics require high firing temperatures, up to 1500� C. This necessitated the use of refractory conductive metals, such as tungsten or molybdenum, to form the conductive circuit patterns because such metals could withstand high firing temperatures without melting. More recently, lower temperature materials have been used, such as devitrifying glasses that can be fired at lower temperatures of 1000� C. or less. Multilayer circuit boards made of these glass or glass-ceramic materials can be used with lower melting point and higher conductivity metals, such as silver, gold or copper. However, these printed circuit boards have the disadvantage that they are not as strong as alumina circuit boards.
Thus still more recently, low firing temperature glasses have been deposited on support substrates made of metal or ceramic to which the glasses will adhere. The support substrate can be of a thermally conductive material such as nickel, Kovar, a ferrous/nickel/cobalt/manganese alloy, Invar�, a ferronickel alloy, low carbon steel, or Cu/Kovar, a ferrous/nickel/cobalt/manganese alloy/Cu, Cu/Mo/Cu or Cu/Invar�/Cu composites and the like, as well as thermally conductive ceramics such as aluminum nitride, silicon carbide, diamond and the like. These substrates impart added strength to the composite. A bonding glass, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,277,724 to Prabhu, adheres the ceramic substrate formed from the green tape layers to the substrate. In addition, if chosen correctly, the bonding glass can reduce shrinkage of the green tape with respect to the metal substrate in at least the two lateral dimensions. Thus all of the shrinkage occurs in the thickness dimension only. This in turn reduces problems of alignment of the circuit patterns in the ceramic layers and the via holes in the metal substrate after firing.
However, when it is desired to produce glass/ceramic multilayer ceramic circuit boards on both sides of the support substrate, the presence of the thermally and electrically conductive metal or ceramic core material between two circuit boards can cause short circuits. Thus the multilayer circuits on one side of the support substrate have been connected to the multilayer circuits on the other side of the support substrate by means of circuit traces or lines that extend around the periphery of the circuit board rather than through the support substrate. However, such peripheral traces are subject to damage or breakage during handling and assembly of the circuit boards into a module, for example, and in some cases the traces would have to be too long for an acceptable design. Such designs also increase wiring lengths and decrease interconnection density. Thus an improved method of permitting electrical connection between two ceramic multilayer circuit boards on both sides of a support substrate would be highly desirable.
The present process for forming electrical feedthroughs in support substrates for double sided printed circuit board substrates comprises providing dielectric insulation in the feedthroughs. Typically a via hole is opened in the support substrate core material, as by drilling the substrate via hole is plated with nickel, one or more dielectric materials such as glass is deposited in the via hole. Lastly a conductive metal is deposited to fill the via hole inside the dielectric ring. The dielectric material and the center conductive metal must be able to withstand several firings at temperatures up to at least 900� C. without melting or flowing.
FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the preferred process for filling via holes in a printed circuit board support substrate in accordance with the process of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a thermal coefficient of expansion plot of a glass suitable for use as a dielectric in the present process.
FIG. 3 is a differential thermal analysis (DTA) plot of a glass suitable for use as a dielectric in the present process.
FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the steps of forming a glass dielectric layer in a via hole.
FIG. 5 is a cross sectional partial view of a printed circuit board support substrate having a filled via hole filled in accordance with the method of the invention.
The preferred support substrate for use herein is a Cu/Mo/Cu metal composite substrate commercially available from the Climax Metals Company, although other materials can be substituted, as described hereinabove.
Referring to FIG. 1, which is a flow chart of a suitable process for making the electrical feedthroughs in a printed circuit board support substrate in accordance with the invention, in a first step of the present process, via openings can be formed in the support substrate using a laser or mechanical drilling equipment that can drill small diameter holes, e.g., about 13-40 mils in diameter or less. The mechanically drilled openings are then deburred, as by rubbing the edges with a soft stone, whereby via openings having sharp corners are eliminated. The thicker the substrate material, the more difficulty may be encountered in drilling the openings. Thirteen mil diameter holes can also be readily drilled using a Nd:YAG laser at 15-30 watts with 0.6 msec pulse lengths. A minimum hole diameter of 7 mils for a 20 mil thick support substrate can be made readily. If the thickness of the support substrate is higher, the minimum hole diameter that can be made may be larger; for example, for a 40 mil thick support substrate, the minimum hole diameter that can be readily made is 8 mils.
The drilled holes are next deburred and nickel plated. This step seals the core material of the support substrate and can be accomplished by conventional nickel electroplating methods. The nickel is then oxidized, as by heating in air at temperatures about 820� C. The nickel oxide layer, which exhibits a resistance of 108 -109 ohms, constitutes the first ring of dielectric material in the via hole.
An insulating dielectric layer, as of a glass, is then deposited in the via hole to form an annular ring. Since glass is a fragile material that can crack during multiple firings, it is preferred that two or more layers of glass be sequentially deposited in the openings so that if a defect, such as a pore, forms in one layer, it will not extend through the entire glass layer, to cause a shorted feedthrough.
The glasses suitable for use in the present invention, using Cu/Mo/Cu metal composite substrates, must have a thermal coefficient of expansion matched to the Cu/Mo/Cu substrate; must have good adhesion to nickel oxide, must be able to wet nickel oxide; and must be able to be fired at temperatures required to form the desired ceramic multilayer circuit board.
One particular glass composition having the following composition in percent by weight is particularly useful with the above nickel plated Cu/Mo/Cu composite metal substrate;
______________________________________ ZnO 28.68 MgO 5.92 BaO 6.21 Al2 O3 15.36 SiO2 43.82______________________________________
This glass has a thermal coefficient of expansion plot as shown in FIG. 2 and a DTA plot as shown in FIG. 3. This glass can be used as the dielectric insulator for the substrate via holes. The same glass can also be used later in the process as a constituent of the thick film conductor via fill ink required for filling the center of each via hole with conductive metal, as further described below.
Another suitable glass composition for use with the preferred metal substrate has the following composition in percent by weight:
______________________________________ MgO 29.0 Al2 O3 22.0 SiO2 45.0 P2 O5 1.5 B2 O3 1.0 ZrO2 1.5______________________________________
A preferred method of applying the glass composition from a standard glazing ink constituting the above glass is to apply vacuum after the screen printing to deposit one or more of the above glass layers. Such a glazing ink comprises the finely divided glass and an organic vehicle. Suitable organic vehicles are solutions of resin binders, such as cellulose derivatives, synthetic resins such as polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, polyesters, polyolefins and the like, in a suitable solvent. The solvent can be pine oil, triphenol, butyl carbitol acetate, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate and the like. The vehicles generally contain from about 5 to 25 percent by weight of the resin binder.
FIG. 4A illustrates a printed glass layer 20 over a via hole 22 in a metal substrate 24.
A vacuum is applied after the printing, beneath the metal substrate 24 in the direction of the arrow 25, sufficient to bring the glass ink layer 20 into the via hole 22, thereby forming an annular ring of the glass ink inside the via hole 22. This glass layer is then dried. The deposition and vacuum pull can be repeated to form multiple glass dielectric layers in the via hole 22. If both sides of the metal substrate 24 are to be used, the above sequence of steps is repeated on the opposite side of the metal substrate 24.
The support substrate is then fired to sinter the glass powder and form a composite fired glass insulator layer in the opening.
A thick via fill ink containing a conductive metal powder is then applied to the metal substrate, also using conventional screen printing techniques. For example, a suitable conductor thick film ink comprises a mixture of silver or other conductive metal powder, glass, and an organic vehicle as described above in proportions so as to form a print screenable thick film paste.
Thick film conductor via fill inks are made by mixing a finely divided conductive metal powder, with a preselected glass powder and an organic vehicle. Suitable conductive powders include silver, gold, copper, their mixtures, and alloys thereof with palladium and platinum and the like, or nickel. The fired thick film conductive metal ink can comprise from about 50-90% by weight of metal and about 10-50% by weight of a glass.
The thick film conductor via fill ink composition is applied to the prepared printed circuit board support substrate so as to fill the glass insulated via holes and is then fired to remove organic materials and to sinter the metal powder to obtain the conductive, insulated feedthroughs.
FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of the metal substrate 24 having dielectric insulated electrical feedthroughs therein. The via hole 22 in the metal substrate 24 has a first layer 23 of nickel oxide dielectric, two dielectric glass layers 26, 28 and a conductive via fill layer 30 therein. Sufficient conductive via fill ink is applied so that the remainder of the via hole 22 is completely filled at the end of the process.
The support substrate as prepared above, having conductive vias in via openings that are dielectrically insulated from the rest of the substrate, can then be used to prepare double sided multilayer printed circuit boards from the substrates of the invention in conventional manner.
The above process can be used to make a reproducible support substrate having a plurality of electrical feedthroughs therein that will not form short circuits between circuitry on both sides of the substrate. The support substrate having electrical feedthroughs as prepared above can withstand several firings at temperatures used in making ceramic multilayer printed circuit boards without undermining the structural and electrical integrity of the feedthroughs.
Although the present process and electrical feedthroughs have been described in terms of specific embodiments, one skilled in the art can readily substitute other materials and reaction conditions for the glass layers and conductors described hereinabove. Thus the scope of the present invention is only meant to be limited by the appended claims.

He may not be a household name, but over the last few decades Mark Rivera has toured and recorded with some of the biggest stars in music. Since 1982, the multitalented musician has been the saxophone player in Billy Joel's backing group and he also serves as music director of the current edition of Ringo Starr's All Starr Band.
Sir Paul McCartney is being celebrated by fellow songwriters with a special one-off prize at the NME Awards recognising his contribution to music over the past half century. The music weekly has chosen to honour him after approaching a number of musicians who were united in naming him as being unmatchable in his craft.
An exclusive hair salon has fallen out with Sir Paul McCartney over its secret formula for his hair dye. The Beatle , 71, started visiting Guy Thomas in New York in 2004 after his then-wife Heather Mills allegedly criticised his hairdo.
In an ironic twist. A snowstorm which happened in Washington D.C. fifty-years-ago, has helped to fetch a once disappointed Beatles fan $16,488 for their ($3) unused concert ticket, on eBay.
A new Collector's Edition of Wonderwall, a 1968 psychedelic film that features a score composed by George Harrison, will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 25. The movie focuses on a reclusive professor who's obsessed with the couple who lives next door, a model named Penny Lane and her photographer boyfriend, and winds up embarking on a surreal journey of self-discovery.
This week on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the new "Now 49" compilation took over at No. 1, bumping the "Frozen" soundtrack down to No. 2 after four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. The "Now 49" set marked just the 24th compilation to hit No. 1 on the list, and, of those 24, a full 17 of them were "Now" albums.
A raft of international broadcasters have acquired The Beatles: The Night that Changed America – A Grammy Salute, a two and half hour special celebrating the 50th anniversary of the band's appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Photos and video of the charity fundraising party held in Brentwood during the Beatles first trip to Los Angeles in August 1964 have been slowly emerging. Now Alison Martino has posted perhaps the most fun picture yet, at her Vintage Los Angeles page on Facebook.
It was 50 years ago this month when the Beatles first came to America; and their impact, much more than just musical, is still felt a half century later — around the world. The Beatles arrived in New York on Feb. 7, 1964, in preparation for their first US performance on the Ed Sullivan show two days later.
Beatlemania continues in our area in the wake of the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four's appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Ringo Starr's tour will make a stop this summer in Williamsport. The tickets went on sale Friday morning people lined up bright and early to get their tickets.

* PLEASE NOTE* Our 2016 summer calendar will open in May. WiFi will be added in the spring of 2015. Our spacious, contemporary, charming blue cottage offers everything necessary for a perfect lakefront vacation. Our property has 50 ft of direct water frontage (NO road between our home and the water). The incredible view, large waterside deck with gas grill, sizable yard, and built in fire pit are just a few of the amenities you'll enjoy! And unlike some rentals, there is no additional cleaning fee during the summer months...it is inclusive in the total cost.
* In addition to our advertised pricing, we are willing to rent Big Blue for a month (which consists of 4 consecutive weeks beginning and ending on a Saturday) at a $500 discount during the summer. Our summer months book 1 year to 6 months prior...so be ahead of the game and book early!
We have a family-owned cottage on Higgins Lake just around the corner from Big Blue. My husband grew up vacationing at the family-cottage much of his summers, and we are now blessed to have our children experience this as well.
Our property resides in an quiet, family-oriented area of nicer cottages/homes, and is intended for family gatherings and nice, vacation getaways. It is not to be used for raucous, loud parties. Big Blue will be a place you and your family want to come back to yearly - a place where memories are made!
Very quiet peaceful setting away from the busy workweek.
Fond memories of times past when the children were younger.
Big Blue is a fantastic getaway! The place is beautiful, well-kept, and very cozy! The only problem we had was with swimmer's itch in the lake. Because the boat had to be docked further out than the actual dock, those of us who had to get in the water to get to the boat were covered in swimmer's itch. It's only right along the edge of the lake though, because the rest of us didn't get it, even at the sandbar. Other than that, the house itself is perfect!
The only thing that could've made it better is to allow people to dock their boat right at the dock to avoid having to get in the water and getting swimmer's itch.
The home was very clean, comfortable, and spacious for the 9 of us. The yard was set up nice for roasting marshmallows and for grilling. We will definetly go back!
Big Blue was exactly what we had hoped for and so much more!! The minute we stepped through the door I felt instant peace. The big beautiful windows provide an awesome view of Higgins Lake, and the sliding glass door in the master bedroom was a great bonus! I am a germ-a-phob and rarely find a hotel room that I think is clean enough for my standards, but Big Blue was extremely clean. I really don't want to share Big Blue, but I couldn't pass up giving the house and it's owners excellent reviews. We have already made the decision to book again next year and I am counting down the days until our next stay. The only negative came from my 15 year old daughter, she wants WiFi! :)
I must say I was hesitant when I booked Big Blue because it had no reviews. I tend to rely on reviews when I book a place. When my family and I arrived there I must say we were pleasantly surprised. The place was perfect, very well laid out and very clean. The bedrooms were situated great for our situation, separate from each other but still close. Right on the water of course with great areas to swim. Some rocky areas but mostly sand bottom. If you know Higgins lake, it is shallow at the shoreline all around the lake. Higgins is a beautiful lake and HUGE but if you want to bring a boat with a deep hull you may have trouble at the shoreline. I highly recommend staying here. I would not hesitate at all coming back here with my family.
It was very clean and owners were nice to work with. The accomodations were just as pictured and met all expectations. Our family enjoyed the place very much. We would definitely recommend the place and would return again in the future. Houghton Lake is only a 20 minute drive and has lots of activities such as golf, go carts, mini golf, shopping and many restaurants to choose from.

Is this a Ladybug?
I found this tiny creature in my garden. I wonder if it's a Ladybug?
Thanks for your confirmation.
This doesn't look like any type of ladybug I have seen in the northern U.S. Perhaps it is another kind of beetle. I believe that ladybugs have a black head. The head and eyes of your insect do not look typical.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ladybug
It appears to be about the right size and shape. Check out the link below. Apparently they don't all have spots.
And this site has more identifying information that might be useful:

Yes, talk to a Yakima dealer (like your local bike shop) and they can order the lock cores for you. If you really only need two, it'd be far easier (and only ~$5 more expensive) to order the 4-pack of SKS lock cores.http://www.backcountry.com/store/YAK0018/Yakima-SKS-Lock-Cores-4-pack.html

Nice thug life cover to that game. I'd shiatcan that garbage in a heartbeat too.

It seems Skylanders will be out of business before long, thanks to Nintendo.
Card-carrying iSpot Japan lover right here. Thanks for the review. Good to know this one is lacking, so I won't waste my cash.
In my day, we had customization too. We called these things stickers or decals, and they were cheap.
The Benz doesn't look like it belongs. On the bright side, at least they didn't do a Beemer. That's a real azzhole car.
I have a controversial opinion on the change in Update 3.0 preventing team kills: It's going to affect close-quarters battle in a negative way. The change should not be made!! Reason: aiming with precision and choosing carefully is more desirable for realism and emphaisizing skill. When 2 or 3 are ganging up on 1 player from three bearings, in the way things are, the poor schmoe in the middle could have some hope of escaping; people choose carefully as to not hit a teammate and suffer a point deduction. In Update 3.0, everyone will be spamming torpedoes with reckless abandon, skill is deemphasized. Strategy and fine-tuning should remain the dominant feature, now we'll get derp, and I also won't be able to send any more love notes back if someone friendly fires on me. P.S.: JOIN FLUFFY CLAN FTW.
Sigh, why is it an issue to bring it from Europe to N. American markets? Too much red-tape to get in the U.S./CAN? Terrible.
"Be prepared to deal with international norms, equality, repercussions, etc. blah blah blah whack whack." Pansies! Sounds like some people around here have a massive head trauma case of, "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE!!!!"
Doom and gloom, the end is nigh. I hate to be so dramatic, but the Update 2.0 two play coin requirement for internet multiplayer (non-premium) could fall on its face. In other words, they are really turning the thumb screws for people to buy the game, but I guess Nintendo really researched the market and said, "Damn the torpedoes..."
We shall see...
I don't understand why this and other SNES classics can't be made more available on the 3ds vice the WiiU.
I second everything Klimbatize said, and third everything Noonch said. What I would really like to see is more than one new multiplayer arena. I'm glad they're taking time they need to get the update out instead of rushing.
Blah blah blah, gay blah blah blah.
Ack. Annoying as hell. Normal notifications will get drowned out because of the flood of new ones. Also, if I need translation support for a post, three extra clicks are now needed for me move to the post, copy the post, and return to the original. TOO MUCH STUFF. The simpler, the better.

One of my favourite things is a party, who doesn't love a good knees up. It's not a regular occurrence these days as life seems to have become crazy busy since I became a parent, but that only makes me appreciate nights out a whole lot more.
Another much loved pastime of mine is spending time in the spa. There is nothing better than lying back in the hydro pool and relaxing after a hard week in the office.
