Two years ago, I was living in an apartment with some friends who decided to get a dog. I was totally behind the decision at the time, but the dog had an unfortunate tendency to eat anything and everything including my leather wallet with $40 inside. As you might imagine, I was livid. $40 was, well, $40, and it made up an unfortunately large percentage of my net worth.Jason Terry's net worth is considerably higher than mine will EVER be, but if his allegations against his former financial advisers are true, he lost a heck of a lot more than $40 through the advisers' involvement in Ponzi schemes.

A Hong Kong fast food restaurant acts as the link between two unusual stories of police officers in love in this eccentric, stylish comedy-drama.

After 5 and a half years of dating (we met jr year in high school) he asked me to marry him! We moved to San Francisco in May. We still had/have a lot to see in the area an thought a great camping trip in September was a must! So while he was at work I packed all of our camping gear and left when he got home. Our trip started with a Packer win at a local bar in Lake Tahoe! Then we decided to go to a ski resort, Northstar, and take the gondola up to the top for a hike, which we do often so I didnt think anything of it. Once we got to the top we began hiking, which seemed like forever trying to find a great view of the lake, but no luck. We then found a great view of the valley on the otherside and FI pulled out his camcorder and set it up on his tripod, (still very normal for him). He asked me to be his focal point so I walked in front of the camera and was goofing around until I saw him hit the record button and walk over by me, got down on one knee and popped the question! He then told me that we would not be camping and took me to a Harveys casino/hotel where his parents had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting, and dinner reservations! It was the most perfect day. We had set the date for about two years and currently planning for the big day.

Enjoy a peaceful vacation at our Tree House in the Smoky Mountains. 3-4 bedrooms with 3 & 1/2 baths await you on a wooded lot less than 0.3 mile from Main Street in Highlands. Walk to and fish at catch-and-release Harris Lake or simply relax and feed the ducks and geese. A stroll brings you to all of the downtown shops in minutes. The house sleeps 10 in beds and an additional 2 in a queen size sofa bed. Master bedroom is on main floor with king size bed and en suite bath. Loft has a queen bed in it's private bedroom, with its own bathroom. Ground floor has a bedroom with two double beds and a Jack and Jill bath that is shared with adjoining room which has two twin beds and a sleeper sofa.

After a hard day of hiking or shopping relax in the large outdoor hot tub on a balcony off the living room. Enjoy a glass of wine in front of a roaring fire during those cool evenings in Highlands.
Keywords: log cabin, home, mountain house, highlands, hot tub, tree house
My wife and I started coming to Highlands 4 years ago. Being from Alabama we enjoyed the almost 20 degree difference in temperature during our hot summer months. Wonderful restaurants, friendly residents and the many activities have made us appreciate our discovery in the Smokeys
We looked for the perfect house for close to 3 years before we found the Tree House. When we first drove up my wife and I knew this was the one.
Though we are close to town and shopping because of our location we seem to be by ourselves surrounded by a forest of towering white pines and hardwoods.

A Clinton community center building could be in jeopardy because of past due taxes.
Dina White, from the Vinson H. Jetter Community Center, said she was excited a few months ago when the community center had been granted tax-exempt status.
Then she received a letter from the county informing her that the tax certificate for their youth center building at 311 S. Third St., had been sold at a tax sale because of past-due taxes.
The property at 311 S. Third St. is one of the oldest churches in town, according to Gary Herrity, local historian. The building was built in 1858 at 620 S. Fourth St. as the original First Baptist Church.
"This was just a quickly built little wood frame temporary church," Herrity said.
The building was moved to its present location in 1869 and was the home for a succession of many denominations of churches. Herrity said everybody used the church for a little time until they established themselves.
White said she was unaware that the building was accruing property taxes while they were waiting for the tax-exempt status and claimed that due to a mix up, they had not received the previous notices. Clinton County Treasurer Rhonda McIntyre confirmed that the tax certificate was sold in June 2011 at a tax sale.
Iowa allows investors to purchase unpaid taxes during a sale held the third Monday of June. The purpose of this sale is to collect unpaid taxes. Once an investor purchases an unpaid tax, he or she must pay the subsequent taxes. These are then added, along with two percent interest per month, to the certificate.
An investor cannot begin procedures to obtain the deed to the property until one year and nine months has passed from the time of the tax sale. These procedures will be available for the community center's property on March 20.
Steve Sodeman, of Davenport, invests in many tax sales and purchased the tax certificate for the community center building. He said he is not out to take anyone's property. He is just trying to do what the law is set up for: to pay the taxes so that money goes where it needs to. White said the center, which has $1,700, is working to raise the money to redeem the tax certificate. The current amount needed is $3,092.
The center will hold a soul food dinner from 4 to 7 p.m. Feb. 22 at First United Methodist Church to raise funds. Call White at 212-6775 for tickets.

Comments about Neoprene Bottle Holder - Jet Black:
I like a bottle sleeve to keep the contents cold as well as to prevent condensation, and provide a better grip. Problem is, most bottle holders don't have a shoulder strap to make it easier to carry your water bottle when your hands are full of other stuff. Enter Neosling! The strap is adjustable, and extra long, so it can be carried cross-body style. It's a very comfortable way to carry your water bottle. Plus, it's stretchy enough to accommodate anything from a 16 oz. slender bottle to a taller 20 or 24 oz, and even fits my 32 oz. wide Nalgene bottle without having to struggle to get it in.
Perfect for any activity where you need your hands free--like walking the dog. I use it for my own hydration needs nearly every day.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

First Hang - WV Newbie
Hi, everybody. I just finished my first night in a hammock and thought it a fitting finish to the adventure to make my first posting in the forum to introduce myself and say thanks. My adventure wasnt exactly an adventure since it was only in my back yard, but it is really cold and wintery here in WV now, so it seemed smart to do my first hang in a safe place to try some things out that I have learned while lurking here.
Ive done quite a bit of camping and hiking, mostly in connection with hunting and backpacking in a younger life, but have never used a hammock before. Last night was my first overnight hang. We recently had two huge snow storms here in WV and still have lots of snow on the ground. The temperature was 24* F when I crawled out of my HH Expedition and headed back inside to warm my cold feet at 5:30 this morning. Other than my feet getting cold about 4:30, my set up worked great. I was toasty with several layers of clothing (poly/fleece/wool/down vest), a blue CCF pad (the wide ones from Wal-Mart), a 1/8 poly 3x6 ft. auto carpet, a square piece of 1/4 poly carpet pad and my old down/fiberfill combo bag. The down in the bag is pretty much shot, but the fiberfill kept my backside nice and warm. Im still working on my cold weather set up and look forward to getting it just right with the great information that is available on this forum. With that thought, I must say that my successful first hang would not have been possible were it not for the great information I have found here. Thanks to all of you have posted such great information, tutorials, and videos. Because of you I have been able to take my new HH and upgrade it with Amsteel 7/64 suspension and MSHs, make a top cover with some old parachute cloth that helped keep the inside of my hammock above 40* last night, made several whoopie slings, learned a bunch of new knots, and have found a DIY heaven. I love DIY projects - find they are good for the mind and spirit, not to mention the check book. I look forward to learning so much more and eventually maybe being able to post information that might help other newbies like me. Looks like a great community here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for letting me play. |

That's funny. It was cold and wintery in my back yard, too - almost the same temp here in Frankford. Go figure. I didn't sleep in a hammock, though (but have several times in the past week or so). You're brave with the wind blowing - hope you've got a sheltered spot to hang. It's good to work out a system of insulation under you - you'll appreciate at least a thin layer on cool summer nights in the Cranberry. Welcome! Give a shout if you want to compare notes or need some DIY materials. I made some of my first prototypes with a bunch of ripstop someone from Hillsboro gave me, and I need to pay it forward.

Oops. I confused Falling Waters with Falling Spring (a suburb of greater Renick) - only 7 miles from here, so you're not as close as I thought. The good news is that you're so close to South Mountain and Gathland State Park. Watch for the MAHHA group hangs there, a great way to meet other hangers and see different hammocks. The next one is April 16-18th. http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=14178
The offer of info and materials still stands. |

Thanks for the info about the April 16-18 MAHHA - that's very close. I've put it on my calendar and look forward to meeting everybody. I'm going to try to get my son to come along. He's the one who got me back into things this summer with a hike on the Laurel Highlands Trail in PA. I haven't introduced him to the HH yet, but plan to in the next couple of weeks.
And thanks for the offer to compare notes and materials for DIY projects. I think my first "big" project will involve making a larger tarp and/or an undercover for my HH. My old parachute cloth won't work for the tarp, but it might do for an undercover. Anyway, thanks for the welcome. Hope to see you one of these days soon. (Hope I'm posting/replying correctly. Not exactly sure of what I'm doing just yet.) |

The prediction models in Part C of the Highway Safety Manual were calibrated using data from North Carolina. SPFs were estimated for 9 crash types for 16 roadway types using statewide data from North Carolina – these SPFs just include AADT and can be used for network screening. In addition, SPFs for rural two lane roads were developed using AADT and other site characteristics including shoulder width/type and terrain. Using examples, this report outlines how the different SPFs can be used for network screening, project level analysis, and before-after evaluation using the empirical Bayes method. Finally, there is a discussion of how NCDOT can use the SPFs in the future by either calibrating the SPFs developed in this effort and/or develop SPFs using negative binomial regression. Along with the final report are Excel files that can be used by NCDOT to calibrate the SPFs in the future and to implement the HSM prediction methodology.

• What: Chunks of granite, marble and soapstone that otherwise would go to waste are repurposed to make inexpensive and green backsplashes for kitchens, paving stones and other uses. The relatively flat slabs of waste granite are cut vertically into strips which, when decoratively arranged, make for a unique feature for a home or business. The company crushes whatever is left into aggregate, or tiny bits of stone used for infill.
• Company: Rom-Eco Solutions, founded in 2010, calls its product ViroStone
• Location: The company's operations are based out of the Hamill Road/Hixson Pike area.
• How it's green: More than 25 percent of all granite is destined for a landfill. This is because when the rock is cut to fit a sink in a counter application, or is overcut, the individual pieces no longer are useful to the builder. Some contractors pay as much as $1,000 per month to have the waste granite hauled to the landfill, according to Rom-Eco's Terri Hudson, creative director. Larger applications of the repurposed stone are worth eight to nine LEED points, and also count toward Better Built certification.
• Why do it this way?: At present, this is the only decorative repurposing of the otherwise-wasted granite available to contractors and consumers, according to the company.
• What's the cost?: Backsplash installations cost $10 to $15 per square foot, compared to regular tile backsplashes that cost $20 per square foot. Pavers, a recent addition to the company's portfolio, cost $5.50 to $7.50 per square foot.
• Advice for others: With 160 million tons of nonhazardous waste in construction materials, you've got to keep an open mind about what materials may be reused.
• Plans for expansion: Currently selling 10,000 pounds of stone per month, the company soon will expand the supply four-fold when marketing gets up and running and the company can spur demand.

At the city's centre, the Red Square has seen battles, military parades and the collapse of the Soviet Union on Victory Day. Walk the cobbles of the traffic-free square today and capture on camera the scenic Kremlin Towers and St Basil's Cathedral. You'll witness modern developments grow alongside the old city including the Federation Tower, set to be the tallest building in Europe.
If you're a culture vulture you'll be amazed by brilliant ballet and opera performances at the Bolshoi Theatre and awesome acrobatics of the Moscow State Circus. Plus, Moscow's lively nightlife can keep even the most energetic party people entertained. Back in daylight, enter a world of excess and wander the lavish halls of Moscow's two main shopping centres GUM and TSUM. Or, escape the bustle of the city and peek into 1930s Russia with a trip to Patriarshy Prudiy (Patriarch's Pond).
Most visitors travelling to Russia will need to obtain a Visa prior to departure.
The process can take up to several weeks. The lead time for visas can vary depending on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. Please make sure to check with the relevant Russian authorities well in advance, or click here for more information on visa requirements. IMPORTANT: you will not be allowed to fly if you are not in possession of all the necessary documentation.
January 2014 Maslenitsa Maslenitsa, or Pancake Week, bids farewell to the harsh long days of winter and celebrates the arrival of spring the week before Russian Orthodox Lent. This week-long festival features folk music, sledges, games, concerts and the much loved blinis, thin pancakes topped with sour cream, caviar, jam or berries, whose round shape symbolises the heat of the sun and the advent of warmer days ahead.
October 2013 Taking a ride on Moscow's Metro leaves quite an impression. Each station is unique with marble floors, grand columns and stained glass windows, all better examples of Soviet architectural flair. Mayakovskaya and Novoslobodskaya stations are particularly beautiful examples. A trip on one of the older Metro trains, which have hanging lamps and tend to throw everyone about as they roar along, can be quite the joy ride.
October 2013 The main building of Lomonosov Moscow State University is as imposing as it is inspiring, a huge Stalinist tower that shoots into the sky and looks over the city. Nearly everything at the university, from dorms to classrooms, is housed here. Walk through the gardens to the end of the square for magnificent view of diverse Moscow: golden orthodox spires, billowing factories and gleaming skyscrapers await.
July 2013 Red October (Krasnyi Oktyabr) is a centre for Moscow's liberal hipsters, located in a chocolate factory next to the Kremlin. Check out its sophisticated art exhibitions, clubs, restaurants and discussion events, which are going on all the time. It's also home to Russia's Rain TV channel, which keeps its doors open to visitors. redcluster.ru
January 2014 Ice skating 9 Ulitsa Krymsky Val, tel: 495 995 0020 Get your skates on and glide over the frozen paths of Gorky Park, on Europe's largest ice rink. It offers over 5,000 square metres of smooth ice dotted with cafes, restaurants, pavilions and even a hockey field. Skaters show off their moves to energetic music from the rink's surround-sound system.
November 2013 Izmailovsky Market is a souvenir-hunters paradise (Partizanskaya Metro station). On two floors, this wooden maze of little stalls is stacked with rows and rows of traditional matryoshka dolls, old Soviet posters, classic watches, fur hats and even the odd kalashnikov. The vendors know how to work a tourist, so be prepared to haggle hard for just about anything.
October 2013
November 2013 An easy stroll around Novodevichy Cemetery (7 Luzhnetsky) is the perfect way to escape the general roar of Moscow city. Peruse around hundreds of graves of Soviet leaders, artists, writers, scientists and even clowns, each tombstone more elaborate and unique than the last. There might be crowds around Yeltsin and Khrushchev's graves, but you can steal a moment in the quieter corners.
