Hi, I am having problems with dimension after changing the dimscale. The user wants to change the dimscale. The program prompts for the selection of a dimension entity and also for the new dimscale. The dimscale property of the dimension entity is set to the new dimscale. The problem is that the entity is not updated on the screen, even after calling the entity draw method. In VBA there was an Update method, but I can find anything like that in the .NET dimension entity. Can someone help me with this situation? I will really appreciate your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi John,
Can you please try using the "DimRegen" command ?
<code> Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Send
StringToExecute("DIMREGEN ", true, false, false); Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Send StringToExecute("REGEN ", true, false, false); </code>
The other way to ensure that the update happens is described here:
Balaji thank you for your suggestions. I tried them all and the dimension still is not updated on the screen. What I want to do is something like selecting a dimension from the drawing, opening the properties window and changing the dimension overall dimscale. The dimension entity is updated immediately after. Here is my code, if you could say what I am doing wrong I will really appreciate. Thanks in advance.
Try Using Trans As Transaction = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase.Transactio
nManager.StartTransaction peo = New PromptEntityOptions(vbCrLf & "Please select a dimension: ") peo.SetRejectMessage("Please select dimensions only.") peo.AddAllowedClass(GetType(Dimension), False) peo.AddAllowedClass(GetType(AlignedDimension), False) peo.AddAllowedClass(GetType(RotatedDimension), False) peo.AddAllowedClass(GetType(ArcDimension), False) peo.AddAllowedClass(GetType(RadialDimension), False) peo.AddAllowedClass(GetType(OrdinateDimension), False) per = Ed.GetEntity(peo) If per.Status = PromptStatus.OK Then Id = per.ObjectId Else Return False End If BlkTbl = CType(Trans.GetObject(Db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTable) BlkTblr = CType(Trans.GetObject(BlkTbl(BlockTableRecord.Mode lSpace), OpenMode.ForWrite), BlockTableRecord) Ent = CType(Trans.GetObject(Id, OpenMode.ForWrite), Entity) If TypeOf (Ent) Is AlignedDimension Then AlignDim = CType(Ent, AlignedDimension) AlignDim.Dimscale = NewDimScale ElseIf TypeOf (Ent) Is RotatedDimension Then RotatedDim = CType(Ent, RotatedDimension) RotatedDim.Dimscale = NewDimScale ElseIf TypeOf (Ent) Is ArcDimension Then ArcDim = CType(Ent, ArcDimension) ArcDim.Dimscale = NewDimScale ElseIf TypeOf (Ent) Is RadialDimension Then RadialDim = CType(Ent, RadialDimension) RadialDim.Dimscale = NewDimScale ElseIf TypeOf (Ent) Is OrdinateDimension Then OrdinateDim = CType(Ent, OrdinateDimension) OrdinateDim.Dimscale = NewDimScale End If Ent.Draw() Trans.Commit() Trans.TransactionManager.QueueForGraphicsFlush() Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Send StringToExecute("DIMREGEN", True, False, False) Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Send StringToExecute("REGEN", True, False, False) Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.LayerUtilities.RegenLaye rs({Ent.LayerId}, Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.LayerUtilities.RegenPend ing) End Using Return True Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "DimScale Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) Finally DocLock.Dispose() End Try
You don't need most of that code if you only want to update the dimension scale.
The Dimscale property is a property of the Dimension base type, so you don't need all of that if/then/else business that tests the type and casts it to the concrete dimension type.
Just open the selected object and cast it to a Dimension (you don't have to check it first because you're using AddAllowedClass).
After you cast the selected object to a Dimension, and set its Dimscale, call the GenerateLayout() method.
DPhilosopher thank you for your suggestion, the unnecessary code as well. However, this still is not solving the issue. The screen is updated, but the dimensions are in limbo state. They are visible on the screen but they can not be selected, even after calling the regen command. Any suggestion on how to solve this issue.
I forgot to mention that I am using AutoCAD mechanical 2012.
The code you posted contains a collection of hacks that aren't working, but you didn't bother removing them.
The first hack you need to remove is this:
Second, don't use the TransactionManager from HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase.
Use the active document's Transaction manager, and remove the call to QueueForGraphicsFlush(), since the Transaction takes care of that.
Lastly, get rid of the call to SendStringToExecute() to run the DIMREGEN command.
If you're going to hack by trying various things, and they don't solve the problem, don't leave them in the code.
Hi John,
Here is a sample code that I tried with AutoCAD 2012 and the dimension scale took effect correctly.
This is a cleaned up version of your code and most of it are suggestions that DP had already provided.
<CommandMethod("BR")> _ Public Sub DimensionUpdateMethod() Dim activeDoc As Document activeDoc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.D
ocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim ed As Editor ed = activeDoc.Editor Dim peo As PromptEntityOptions peo = New PromptEntityOptions(vbCrLf & "Please select a dimension: ") peo.SetRejectMessage("Please select dimensions only.") peo.AddAllowedClass(GetType(Dimension), False) Dim Id As ObjectId Dim per As PromptEntityResult per = ed.GetEntity(peo) If per.Status <> PromptStatus.OK Then Return End If Dim NewDimScale As Double NewDimScale = 3.0 Id = per.ObjectId Using Trans As Transaction = activeDoc.TransactionManager.StartTransaction Dim BlkTbl As BlockTable BlkTbl = CType(Trans.GetObject(activeDoc.Database.BlockTabl eId, OpenMode.ForRead), BlockTable) Dim BlkTabr As BlockTableRecord BlkTabr = CType(Trans.GetObject(BlkTbl(BlockTableRecord.Mode lSpace), OpenMode.ForWrite), BlockTableRecord) Dim Ent As Entity Ent = CType(Trans.GetObject(Id, OpenMode.ForWrite), Entity) Dim dimension As Dimension dimension = CType(Ent, Dimension) dimension.Dimscale = NewDimScale Trans.Commit() End Using End Sub
So, It appears that the issue you are having is specific to AutoCAD Mechanical and there are a few features that do behave differently in the verticals.
In the above post, please refer to "Special Notes on DIMLFAC & DIMSCALE"
Sorry, I dont have a solution to get it working in AutoCAD Mechanical and an expert in the AutoCAD Mechanical discussion forum might be able to help.
Hi DP,
You are right, casting it twice is not needed.
Thanks for correcting that.

Very technical and thin face climbing following a seam. The hardest moves are down low but it is possible to fall off of just about any move if you don't stay focused. Starts out less steep with delicate moves to gain the seam then some sidepull moves and onto knobs and edges. Surprisingly pumpy for what is more or less a vertical routes.

President Bush and his Republican allies in Congress agree that airport screeners play a vital role in the war against terror, yet continue to deny them the basic right of unionization by asserting that it would "threaten national security."
The actual motive is as obvious as the often demonstrated anti-unionism of Bush and friends. House members recognized that in January when they voted 299-128 for a bill that would repeal a provision of the five-year-old Aviation Transportation and Security Act that gives the president authority to bar screeners from exercising the collective bargaining rights granted other federal employees.
The Senate is about to take up the bill. But though the slim Democratic majority there is certain to support it, Republicans are threatening a filibuster that could block passage. Even if the measure should squeak through Congress, Bush has promised to veto it, and the GOP minority has promised enough votes to sustain a veto.
Bush and other opponents of the bill compare the 45,000 men and women who screen air passengers' luggage with the men and women who are fighting in
"Marines don't collectively bargain over whether they're going to wind up, you know, being deployed in Anwar province or in
Bush agrees. He, too, sees nothing wrong with ignoring the labor laws – including those granting union rights – "when it serves our national interest."
But does it really serve the national interest to prohibit airport screeners from grabbing hold of unionization, the tool that workers must have if they are to gain job security and a fair and effective voice in determining their working conditions? To prohibit them from having union protection that would enable them to freely blow the whistle on wasteful, abusive or fraudulent management practices?
The screeners certainly aren't happy with their current conditions. They have a higher turnover rate than the employees of any other federal employee group, a higher injury rate, and file more discrimination charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Screeners complain especially about being forced to work overtime without prior notice, having their working shifts arbitrarily changed, their paychecks delayed and being sexually harassed. They say they face retaliation for complaining about their conditions or about problems with their agency's operations and lack sufficient health and safety standards and procedures to resolve grievances.
John Gage, president of the union seeking to bargain on behalf of the screeners – the American Federation of Government Employees – notes that those who run the Transportation Security Agency, which employs the screeners, also would benefit from unionization. For as employers elsewhere have learned, things in general go much more smoothly if there are mutually agreed to rules and procedures for dealing with labor-management relations and the operations of the workplace.
Gage says, in any case, that "it's time to put an end to TSA's bullying.
The United Nations' International Labor Organization said much the same thing, albeit in appropriately diplomatic terms. It ruled that the Transportation Security Agency violated "core labor standards" in denying screeners what it deemed their fundamental right to collective bargaining.
Denying unionization to screeners does not serve the interest of the screeners any more than it serves the interest of the country, as Bush pretends it does.
What it serves is the undisguised attempt by Bush and the GOP to weaken unions, which are among the Democrats' most effective supporters – as witness their key role in the party's midterm election victories. Republicans are especially eager to weaken public employee unions, which directly challenge the administration's authority and are the strongest segment of today's labor movement.
The GOP way, the Bush way, is to try to force public workers to take whatever their government bosses impose on them — or else. And no questions asked.
The screeners haven't been their only federal targets. The Bush Administration previously installed a personnel system that would have denied bargaining rights to all 115,000 of the screeners' fellow employees in the Homeland Security Department, as well as greatly weakened their civil service protections.
The administration backed off, however, after two federal courts ruled that the unilaterally-imposed system would violate the workers' rights. One ruling, by an appeals court last June, said the system — which would have required employees, but not their bosses, to sign an employment contract — "not only defies the well-understood meaning of collective bargaining, it also defies common sense."
The administration is still trying to impose a similar system on the Defense Department's 700,000 employees, and is likely to soon come up with another new system for Homeland security
It's the very least we can expect from George Bush and his Republican accomplices in their undiminished eagerness to protect the nation from the threat of unionization.

Lake Erie College blends technology with interdisciplinary studio arts as part of its new Integrated Media, Digital Art & Technology Major
[September 17, 2010] – Keeping pace with arts-focused institutions across the country, Lake Erie College is now fully engaged with its newest major, Integrated Media and Digital Art & Technology (IMDAT).
The major has been in development since 2008 and was approved in May 2010. "We are thrilled that Lake Erie College has allowed this major to develop and contribute to the strength of the fine arts curriculum. This will provide the students the skills necessary to succeed in their future goals. We hope this program will continue to expand so that students can explore art through the many available forms of technology," said Steve Gutierrez, assistant professor of Integrated Media.
The Integrated Media and Digital Art & Technology program is an interdisciplinary studio arts study in computer mediated art and design. Courses in the major include investigations into interactive and electronic objects and environments, digital video, digital performance, experimental 3-D computer graphics, animation, game design, art and technology, digital imaging, rapid prototyping, net art, installation, sound, emerging forms and new genres.
Students majoring in IMDAT will discover individual aesthetics and artistic vision through conceptualization, theory and an awareness of contemporary art and media that combines advanced science and technology.
Kaitlyne Perrill, a junior from Ashville, Ohio, is the first student to major in the IMDAT program.
"I enjoy exploring new technologies through hands-on trial and error," said Kaitlyne. "There are many different mediums to express myself artistically such as digital imaging, multimedia or the newer emerging forms of technology. This major has been an artistic and therapeutic way to express my emotions. I find out who I am with the pieces I create," she explained.
Students with an IMDAT major have many career opportunities, including graduate school (M.A., M.F.A.), studio artist, instructor, and technical and art design careers in fields such as advertising, media, animation and game development in addition to freelance creative and performance work.
For more information about the IMDAT major, contact Professor Steven Gutierrez at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lake Erie College, located in Painesville, Ohio, currently serves more than 1,200 students. Founded in 1856, Lake Erie is an independent, liberal arts institution that challenges its students to "get in and stand out" in academics, athletics and student activities. The College offers 35 undergraduate and graduate programs and the option to design an individualized major to fit career and academic goals. Lake Erie's innovative learning experiences focus on helping students to meet career and life challenges, preparing for a world that is increasingly interdependent.

Various Artists : Strong Love – Songs Of Gay Liberation 1972-1981
By the late '60s, popular music had become synonymous with the progressive causes of the day: the crusades against American involvement in Vietnam, desecration of pristine wilderness, women's liberation and the idyllic quest for a libertarian personal and social existence.
Notwithstanding the presence of (male) gay protagonists in the radical fringe of popular music – including Danny Fields, David Geffen and Jan Wenner – the cause of gay liberation remains a largely overlooked stream of the broader protest-music canon.
Released on Guy Blackman's always impressive Chapter Music, Strong Love – Songs of Gay Liberation 1972-1981 compiles 15 songs composed and released in the aftermath of the infamous Stonewall riots in New York's Greenwich Village in 1969. The music featured mirrors the evolution of the so-called 'mainstream', from the Let It Be-era Beatles warmth of Everyone Involved's A Gay Song, the Laurel Canyon hippie-folk of Charlie Murphy's Gay Spirit to the proto soul-funk of Blackberri's It's Okay. Smokey's Strong Love lays the groundwork for '80s new wave, Robert Campbell's Dreamboy is rich with the tight-waisted flares and slip-on white shoes aesthetic of late '70s LA torch-rock, Bueno Vista's Hot Magazine struts with homoerotic attitude, while Chris Robison, Big Strong Man in My Life is the Big Star track never written by the late Chris Bell.
The discourse is proud, and arguably provocative in its blunt honesty – when Lavender Country recorded the fucked-up country Cryin' These Cocksucking Tears, or Scrumbly and Martin the Pete-and-Dud piano bar ditty Hots For A Hustler, you assume neither band had pretensions of crossing over immediately into the pop charts for a shot at serious commercial success.
Like so much of the political-musical canon, it's arguable that the songs contained on Strong Love preached to the converted; indeed, the fact that notionally logical developments such as gay marriage remain mired in bigotry and ignorance suggests that the progressive rhetoric fell on too many deaf ears. Strong Love is inevitably and inextricably linked with its political cause; it's also a collection of protest songs worthy of the 'classic' moniker.
Best Track: Big Strong Man in My Life
If You Like This, You'll Like These: CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH, PARLIAMENT/FUNKADELIC, MARVIN GAYE (no pun intended) and any decent '70s music

Jeff has the
I would like to see the Village in good hands for the future and moving in the right directions to keep the Village that I love still that unique place in many of our hearts.
That is why, as a prominent Republican, I am actively backing Jeff Katz for Mayor.
Jeff has devoted the time and effort to learn the job, investigate the issues, present both sides intelligently, both pros and cons when asked and place the Village needs before his own because of his love of Cooperstown. It is time to put the good of the Village before political party affiliations.
If more public servants put the needs of the public first and put the good of the people before the demands of their parties and their own personal interests, we would have less of the antagonism we see today. We would get more accomplished.
Jeff has the experience we need, five years as a Trustee and two years as Deputy Mayor. He has the knowledge we need, having served on most of the Village Committees.
He has the intelligence we need, coming up with innovative fund raising opportunities that have allowed our Village to accomplish major projects without massive tax increases. He has made his time available to the Village day and night and hasn't missed a meeting that I can remember, and has put even more of his personal time in representing me and our Village before Federal, State, County and Town meetings.
But most important to me, he loves this Village and it shows in his commitment to all of us.
Please join me in supporting Jeff, real experience and commitment we need. And, thank you for the honor of being your Mayor and Trustee for a total of 16 years; and thanks to all for their kind comments regarding my health and future.
Carol Bateman Waller
Mayor of Cooperstown
Joe will represent us Potholes are now the norm in Cooperstown. Brooklyn Avenue is closed. Village Hall has become a sieve. Village government continues to postpone $10-$20 million of infrastructure repairs because of its weak and deteriorating financial position.
We must break this downward trend that threatens our sustainability. We see signs of decline such as ``For Rent'' and ``For Sale,'' and we are alarmed by symptoms such as dropping school enrollment and falling visitor numbers.
Joe Booan is the professionally trained leader we need to get Cooperstown back on track. He was recently promoted to Director at ONC BOCES where he balances budgets by controlling spending. His latest budget reduced spending by 2.35 percent.
Joe's opponent has been on the board the past five years when village revenues rose 4.7 percent per year. Unfortunately, property taxes also increased 4.7 percent per year.
Why, because village government spending swelled 6 percent per year. If village government had simply contained spending increases to equal inflation, it would have saved over $400,000.
Joe will not support damaging revenue schemes that do our village more harm than good. Pay & Display machines on Main Street, writing thousands of parking tickets and raising taxes will chase away residents, businesses and tourists.
Most important, we've seen a huge escalation of political nonsense the past five years. This type of behavior is not what Cooperstown is about. We are a quiet and dignified people that take great pride in community cooperation. As individuals, we are modest and considerate.
Joe Booan is the candidate with the professional expertise to repair our village government and preserve our future. Joe will represent us in a humble and courteous manner that is consistent with whom we are. I respectfully ask you to join me and cast your vote for Joe Booan to be the next Mayor of Cooperstown.
Eric Hage
Hage is currently completing his first term as Village Trustee. He has chosen not to seek re-election.
I will represent the interests of all
In my five years experience as Trustee I have shown real accomplishment as I've served on virtually every committee. On those committees and Boards, I have worked diligently, attending meetings, and doing tireless research to approach old issues with new information, or to come up with fresh, innovative ideas to present and act upon.
I've worked with the same diligence for the committees I haven't been on, such as Sewer Board, in dealing with permits and grants.
Specific issues come and go, but how one approaches the process stays the same. I have always been consistent in my approach, honest and open in my discussions, with one overriding principle: what is for the general good of the residents of this Village. While there are many different constituencies, and they all must be listened to, the residents are whom we are elected by and whom we represent. I never lose sight of that in my work as a Trustee.
Having served as Deputy Mayor the last two years, I've seen what it takes to be Mayor. While the Trustee job entails hours of committee work, the Mayor's job takes a different time commitment.
I can tell you that being on call for the Village as Deputy Mayor, whether it's fielding calls from the office, getting phone calls from residents or consultants, or pursuing issues that are beyond the usual task of the Trustee role, can, and has, taken hours of a normal day. The Village is faced with more and more complexity, more and more work. It needs a Mayor with more time to devote to the well-being of the Village. Fortunately, my work schedule is flexible and my personal needs can be adjusted to accommodate the Village's. In cases of emergency, I am always in the Village, prepared and able to respond.
To lead as Mayor, one needs to have a deep and broad knowledge of Village issues.
There have been many meetings or conference calls I've participated in with Congressman, State legislators, and Town officials, where multiple subjects have come up unexpectedly. In those moments, a Mayor needs to have the information at their fingertips to strongly and effectively represent the Village. In this era, where working with other governmental agencies is crucial, I have already proven I can work with the Towns and County on issues that are important to the Village.
We all deeply love this Village. Whether we've been here one year or 50, one generation or more, it's impossible not to feel love for Cooperstown. In my family's case, we picked up and chose to fulfill our lifetime dream by moving to Cooperstown, where Karen and I could bring up our three boys, in a Village where everyone looks out for each other. Living here and serving the community has far exceeded our expectations.
I want to humbly thank all those who have expressed their support for me in so many different ways. I will continue to represent the interests of all of our residents fairly and honestly if elected Mayor.
I ask for your support on Election Day.
Jeff Katz
I pledge to work tirelessly
My name is Doug Walker and I am running for village trustee. I graduated from CCS in 1963, served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam and graduated from St. Lawrence University in 1971. I have owned and operated several businesses in Cooperstown over the past 30 years, including Danny's Market, Walker Gallery Fine Art and Framing, The National Pastime and currently 2 Chestnut Bed and Breakfast. I believe my greatest strength that I bring from that experience is my ability to work with a team and to make informed decisions that lead to solving problems.
I have lived in Cooperstown for most of my life and I have watched it evolve from a quiet, insular community, far removed from the rest of the world to where it is today with people coming here from every country to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame and to enjoy the scenic beauty of Otsego county. Along with these successes have come many problems, which burden our community. This is where the elected leaders on our village board come into play.
It is they who must balance the needs of all interests in Cooperstown and make the decisions that will affect all of us in the future. I ask for your vote on Tuesday, March 16 and pledge, if elected, to work tirelessly to keep Cooperstown the wonderful community that it is.
Doug Walker
Our candidates have a proven record
We are fast approaching one of the most important elections in decades; the outcome of which will determine the future direction of our village for years to come. I was nominated to run for Trustee this year but, after careful reflection, I decided I wanted to devote all my efforts to ensuring our Democratic team have the best opportunity to be elected or re-elected to office. The problems we face are numerous and affect all aspects of our quality of life. I am going to ask you to come out on March 16 to vote for four individuals.
Jeff Katz, our candidate for Mayor, current Deputy Mayor and Trustee, cherishes this village and has an accomplished record that we can be proud of. He has an unsurpassed familiarity with village issues and government. Through his efforts of finding new revenue he has kept taxes down, he has alleviated some of our parking problems, enhanced our library and has had other municipality's donate more funds, worked with residents to build Badger Park with the Villages first skating rink, ensured 24/7 police protection for our citizens, secured funds for the Gateway Project, fought opposition to keep Village property open for our Fire Department so they could park in a timely fashion when time is critical in a emergency, and many other quality of life situations.
Lynne Mebust, our current Trustee, is running for a second term, she also has a record of accomplishments. She has spearheaded the fight to restore 24/7 police coverage, fought for our Fire Fighters needs and has answered their concerns, Lynne has fought for innovative revenue raising solutions, helping to keep our taxes in check and helping to pay for projects like Irish Hill, as park chair she worked closely with residents to secure funds for Badger Park enhancements.
Sally Eldred, running for Trustee, moved to Cooperstown approximately five years ago and brings an extensive resume and wealth of experience to the table, including being Executive Director, Greater Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, a long career in public relations and communications, and 11 years on the Zoning Board of Appeals. Leslie Friedman, is currently our Deputy Village Justice. She has worked tirelessly in this position and is exceedingly qualified. An attorney for 20 years, Member of the Bar of New York, Pennsylvania and District of Columbia. A graduate of J.D. N.Y.U., holds a BA Bryn Mawr College, Member of the N.Y.S. and Otsego County Magistrates Associations. Leslie will be fair and diligent in her duties.
Our Democratic candidates have a proven record as leaders with extraordinary backgrounds. Please join me in supporting these four candidates on March 16.
Richard Abbate
Cooperstown Democratic
The village needs leadership
Make No Mistake _ if Joe Booan's opponent becomes Mayor of Cooperstown we will have Pay & Display machines on Main Street this summer. Even though paid parking machines haven't been put in yet, that does not mean the threat has gone away. Quite the contrary. Joe's opponent stated in a recent public meeting that he feels we can have paid parking downtown as early as August. This issue has been intentionally held under the radar by Joe's opponent and his supporters because they want the people to forget about it in the voting booth.
Right now the village needs leadership, structure and vision. With Joe Booan this is what we will get. He has the professional training and experience to turn our deteriorating financial situation into a sound one. He can provide a unified vision and has the professional ability to provide the structure needed to get there.
We do not need to keep placing new financial burdens onto the backs of our village residents, our visitors or the surrounding communities, because we do not know how to take a hard look at our spending. It was stated by Joe's opponent that until we implement Paid Parking on Main Street, he didn't feel that the expenses should be addressed. This is another case of being financially irresponsible and trying to raise more revenue at the expense of the village, where a look at the village's expenditures is what is truly called for.
With the numbers of people coming to the village declining and downtown businesses struggling, this is not the direction to head in. We need to keep Cooperstown healthy and vital and not discourage shopping downtown or discourage visitors from coming to our village. As the business district slows down, the burden falls back to the village residents through their taxes. We need to see the damage that the increase in taxes does to our community _ and Paid Parking is just one form of tax. With the financially sound leadership Joe Booan provides, our community working together can become the wonderful village we love. It can give hope back to parents that there will be a village years from now that children will be able to come back to as Joe has done, a place our children can afford to live and thrive in, a place where our infrastructure is secure and a place where we can afford to retire in. On March 16, you as a voter have the ability to make your voice heard. To let the village leaders know that you are not content with the path we are on, I urge you to get out and vote and hope you will vote for Joe Booan as I will. We cant afford not to.
There is a simple choice _ vote for the ``tax and spend'' candidate, or vote for fiscal planning and responsibility. We need to plan our village's future, not simply go month to month and see what happens. Vote for Joe Booan.
Willis Monie Jr.
Vote for Booan
Joe Booan believes in win/win solutions. Look at 24/7 police coverage. Instead of blindly backing a proposed $38,000 budget amendment, Joe recognized an opportunity to do the right thing. Everyone wanted comprehensive coverage. Joe Booan's compromise maintained 24/7 coverage and saved you, the taxpayer, over $20,000.
Admittedly, this approach does not provide for much passion on the campaign trail. It may not be politically expedient. However, Joe Booan is not a politician.
Joe Booan is a problem solver. Joe Booan is constantly looking for win/win opportunities.
Joe Booan is a leader.
Issues change. Leadership, integrity, teamwork, style and character are constant. Leadership, integrity, teamwork, style and character matter. Joe Booan possesses these qualities. This is why I am backing Joe Booan's bid to be our next mayor. This is why I support Alton Dunn & Doug Walker for trustee.
They will provide the leadership our village most urgently needs.
Neil Weiller Trustee
Like Mayor Waller did
This is a great ad for Jeff Katz _ it's a highway billboard at I-90 and I-87 in Albany. I'll explain . . . The Village has an external media ``footprint'' that is 10 times the size of the village, approximately that of a town with a population of 200,000. Its economy depends on tourism. So when the Hall of Fame starts holding press conferences after business hours and on Saturday, Booan might be an OK choice. Or when NYSHA, Fenimore, Farmers' Museum, and Bassett schedule events to accommodate an ``after work'' mayor.
But that's not the way tourism related media events work. So it's not a bad idea to have a Mayor that has an engaging personality. Especially during their 9 to 5 ``work week'' as mayor. When they are going to be doing some of their best work: representing a town that depends on tourism. Like Mayor Waller did every time she left her shop . . . to go to work.

Odds are you might've seen something like the goal that Keith Yandle just scored on YouTube.
Actually, no. You've never seen any trick-shot in hockey quite like what Keith Yandle just made.
The Wild had taken a commanding lead in the third period when Yandle tried to dump the puck in off the boards. Instead, he ended up banking the puck off the glass at a crazy angle and scored.
You could give him millions of chances and he wouldn't be able to recreate that goal. To somehow get the puck directed at that angle, from that high up on the glass, to hit the net at the exact direction required to somehow sneak in...I can't Yandle how crazy that is.

The St. Louis Rams are like Chris Brown, and their fans are like Rihanna. They break us down and leave us battered, but we love them. And as the case with any Ram fan, my hindsight is 20/20, as is my frustration. But anyway, I present to you...things Rams fans say...in hindsight lol.
1. I'm glad we didn't hire Ryan. Our defense is too good for him to ruin it. -> I wish we had Ryan as our DC.
2. We don't need any other receivers. Quick, Givens and Cook will put up big numbers this year! -> Should we draft Watkins or just pick up Maclin?
3. Janoris Jenkins is a top 5 corner in the league...bet on it. -> Maybe we should let Trumaine be 1CB.
4. TJ McDonald is a beast! Watch out for some bone crushing hits!!! -> McDonald can't tackle, but watch out for those nut grabbing hits!!!
5. Jared Cook will easily create mismatches and will easily replace Amendola. Watch. -> HOW THE FUCK DID YOU DROP THAT (or...) WHAT THE FUCK ARE DOING? BLOCK!
6. Next year, we'll regroup and dominate! -> Next year we'll regroup and dominate!
7. Keep calm and believe in Fish. -> Dude...if Fisher doesn't make any adjustments, I'm gonna Nair that Sammy Davis Jr. mustache straight off his face.
8. Robert Quinn should win DPOY. Hands down. -> This Karlos Dansby guy might win DPOY.
9. Fisher really needs to let Pead get more clock. -> THIS DUDE CANT CATCH/HIT A HOLE FOR SHIT!
10. Even the best WRs couldn't produce in this offense. -> "Alshon Jeffery just creating all kinds of separation with that big body of his all year. That's natural talent." - Jon Gruden "Why doesn't Quick use his size to power over defenders?!?" - Me.
Just trying to lighten the mood during these gloomy times. Buck up, Bart. Buck up!

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by chd85 Warm I bought this for my niece in the black and purple, and it is very sharp looking. We wear the same size, and it seemed very warm and thick. I liked it so much, I went back to order me one, and they were out. August 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mapotter Had to return. I wanted a UA sherpa fleece like I bought my husband a few years ago. This was not it. It was too tight in the arms and not all that warm. So, I returned it. January 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mel Horrible color Sweater is warm, and soft. sleeves definitely long on me and longer overall length as well, but i am only 5'2" so this might not be a problem for others... But my biggest complaint is the color. i ordered the grey one and thought i was getting at least close to what was pictured. Not even close. the grey is actually an extremely light, almost white grey. January 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Under Armour Women's Storm Cotton Sherpa Full Zip Great product! I saw this jacket in a competetors store but they didn't have my size. You were the only one to carry this jacket in my size (xl). I went up to the andirondack mountains in new york, and not only did this jacket keep me warm, it kept me warm while I went snowmobiling with the wind!! I didn't expect anything less with the underarmour name. Also Dick's shipped above and beyond expectations! April 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by loni excellent product warmth and comfort in a quality product/like it loose so order up a size. 2nd purchase, different color bought as Christmas gift, December 30, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Long Long I loved this sweater accept I had to return it because even though it was a XS it was very long!! I'm 5'1" and it came down past my butt and the sleeves were very long. December 26, 2012

With a 37-16 win on national TV, the Patriots reminded the rest of the league that even with a no-name defense, they are still an AFC favorite.
Bill Belichick's teams don't lose after a bye — then the Patriots proceeded to lose to the Steelers in Week Eight. Belichick's teams never lose back-to-back games — then the Patriots blew a lead in the final minute in a Week Nine loss to the Giants.
Well, Belichick's team hasn't lost three straight since 2002, and that streak continued on Sunday night, even with everyone having picked the Jets to win.
And that's probably what did it.
The Patriots started nine players who entered the NFL without being drafted; including two undrafted rookies on defense, and still beat their rival in convincing fashion.
The PFW spin
I was sure to cover my bases. After a week of everyone doubting New England and jumping on the Jets' bandwagon, I realized that the intangibles surrounding the game actually supported the Patriots.
Sure, intangibles only mean so much — some people put little emphasis on them, and the Patriots did prove themselves first and foremost with their play on the field — but don't discount what they meant for a Brady-Belichick team to hear doubters for two weeks.
On offense, Brady engineered a passing attack that went after the Jets' weaknesses. No one on the Gang Green could cover Rob Gronkowski, and Brady knew that, targeting him 11 times, which led to eight catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns.
Brady threw quick out patterns to Deion Branch, Aaron Hernandez and Wes Welker, while moving the three around as much as possible to confuse the Jets. The no-huddle offense put the Jets' "D" on its heels, and even Chad Ochocinco made a big play.
The defensive performance, though, was much more impressive. DE Andre Carter had a career game, beating All-Pro OLT D'Brickashaw Ferguson a couple of times en route to 4½ sacks. When top CB Devin McCourty left the game with a shoulder injury, it seemed as though Mark Sanchez would have his way against a no-name secondary.
Instead, Kyle Arrington, Sterling Moore, James Ihedigbo, Antwaun Molden and Phillip Adams played good enough coverage to keep the Jets grounded. LB Rob Ninkovich made two huge interceptions, and the Patriots' special teams made a play, recovering a muffed punt.
In some ways, it was reminiscent of last season's 45-3 win on Monday night, but this effort may have been more impressive considering how poorly New England had been playing and whom they were missing, especially in the secondary.
Going forward, things look peachy for New England. Their remaining schedule and opposing quarterbacks is as follows:
Chiefs (Tyler Palko), Eagles (possibly Vince Young), Colts (Curtis Painter), Redskins (Rex Grossman), Broncos (Tim Tebow), Dolphins (Matt Moore) and Bills (Ryan Fitzpatrick).
Not a bad draw when you have the worst passing defense in the league.
Brady and company should be able to score at will against each opponent left on their schedule, and that should take some pressure off the secondary. It also gives Belichick a little flexibility, as he needs to find a group that works on the back end so the Patriots can make a playoff run.

It took a jury less than 3 hours to convict Gary Stoddard of murder, kidnapping and a weapons charge on Wednesday.
16 months ago when Stoddard admitted to the murder, it seemed police had all the evidence they needed, but Stoddard claimed he lied in a cover up to protect his nephew. However Stoddard and his attorneys claim that Stoddard's nephew, Jonathan Ritchey, is the real killer. Ritchey has already served one year in jail for rendering criminal assistance in the murder. In closing arguments on Wednesday, Stoddard's attorney said Stoddard decided to confess to the murder because he believed he had terminal pancreatic cancer and would die anyway before a trial. Stoddard also said his nephew admitted to murdering Cassel after a night of drinking.Prosecutors said Stoddard's story simply didn't add up, and after three hours of deliberation, a jury agreed and handed in the guilty verdict. Despite the verdict, Judge Eitzen commended Stoddard's defense team, saying it was one of the best defenses she had ever seen. Stoddard will be sentenced later this summer. A jury found Gary Stoddard guilty of murdering Heather Cassel in March 2013.Stoddard initially confessed to the murder, but then recanted his confession, saying he was protect his nephew, Jonathan Ritchey, who he says is the real killer. The jury also found Stoddard guilty of kidnapping. This story is developing. Check back for updates.

The purpose of this article is to summarize some of the results on the algebraic structure of the computably enumerable (c.e.) sets since 1987 when the subject was covered in Soare 1987 , particularly Chapters X, XI, and XV. We study the c.e. sets as a partial ordering under inclusion, (E; `). We do not study the partial ordering of the c.e. degrees under Turing reducibility, although a number of the results here relate the algebraic structure of a c.e. set A to its (Turing) degree in the sense of the information content of A. We consider here various properties of E: (1) deønable properties; (2) automorphisms; (3) invariant properties; (4) decidability and undecidability results; miscellaneous results. This is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of all results in the subject since 1987, but we give a number of references in the bibliography to other results.

Debut exhibition for 101-year-old artist (From Witney Gazette)

Debut exhibition for 101-year-old artist
10:00pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News
YOU'RE never too old to try something new. At least that's what the residents at the Henry Cornish Care Centre have been proving.
Residents held their first art exhibition at the residential home in Chipping Norton.
The gallery featured paintings, embroidery, crochet, cross-stitch and knitted pieces.
Andy Andrews, a former engineer aged 101, displayed paintings of famous events including a picture of the royal wedding.
He said "It was a very eventful day. It's the first time I have displayed my art. I like it at Henry Cornish. There is always something going on."
There was also a display of knitting by Dot Blunsdon.
The 87-year-old said: "It was good seeing what other people can create. It's marvellous. I'm going to knit and crochet as long as I possibly can."
The event was part of Dignity and Care, an event stressing the importance of treating older people with dignity.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired Tomas Vokoun from the Washington Capitals in exchange for a 7th round draft pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Vokoun has waived his no movement clause in order for the deal to be completed. In addition, Vokoun has signed a two year contract with the Penguins. Financial terms have not been officially released but the deal is expected to be worth approximately $4 million. The Penguins have Marc-Andre Fleury under contract for another three seasons with a $5 million cap hit (but $5.5M and $5.75M salaries). That, combined with the fact that Fleury cannot be placed on waivers and has a limited no trade clause, implies that Fleury is still the starter in Pittsburgh. However, this acquisition nonetheless speaks volumes about what Pittsburgh's management thought about the Penguins' goaltending in the playoffs. Update: NHL.com is saying $4million, so that number might be official now.
A look at headlines from the Ottawa Senators and the NHL, with a focus on rumours that Ottawa is in hot pursuit of Phoenix Coyotes forward Kyle Turris.

Operating In Heavy Seas
I wouldn't dare try to explain running in heavy seas within this short article. But the point is you can't rely on textbook explanations to pilot your boat in heavy weather. Learn your boat's capabilities and its specific handling characteristics while the conditions are still manageable. The trick is finding your boat's sweet spot in a specific set of conditions, and this will take a little experimentation. And be aware, boats can break. Flying off the top of a wave at 35 knots may make for a nice picture in an ad, but if you're not kind to your lady, don't be surprised to find various forms of protest. You do have to drive your boat.
Be Able To Read The Clouds
Even with a sophisticated navigational suite, you need to be aware of what is going on around your yacht. Clouds are among the most visible indicators of weather and can often help predict thunderstorms, an approaching front, rain, or a squall.
Start by learning to identify cloud forms and how they may affect weather. This may feel like your kid's eighth-grade science project, but it's a necessary first step. Although there are infinite shapes a cloud can take, the common classification system includes 10 types: cumulonimbus, cumulus, stratus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus, altostratus, altocumulus, cirrostratus, cirrocumulus, and cirrus. It's important to learn the characteristics of each cloud type. Books such as Chapman Piloting offer a good overview and helpful pictures. Next, watch how clouds form in your area, determine whether they are increasing or decreasing in amount, and understand what shape they are taking. As a general rule, lowering or thickening cloud formations indicate wet weather is on the way. Then, begin to combine this information with other items such as barometric pressure and wind velocity.
First Aid And CPR
There's nothing worse than seeing a loved one wounded or sick-except maybe being unable to do anything about it. First of all, I shake my head at people who have $100,000 worth of flatscreen televisions on board, but are only equipped with a basic first aid kit that can barely mend a scraped knee. Buy the best kit you can afford, then ensure you and your mate take a first aid course. Even if you're within sight of land, knowing how to dress a wound to stop bleeding, or brace somebody until help arrives, will make a crucial difference. I also strongly believe in equipping a boat with an AED to address cardiac arrest. For about $1,400, you can equip your boat to save somebody's life. And it only costs about as much as one TV! Make sure you also sign up with your local Power Squadron or firehouse and take a CPR course. Next steps: Check out the first aid kits at www.coastlineadventures.com and log onto www.westmarine.com to order your Charles Industries Heart-Sine AED.
Action Steps Before The Weather Turns Foul
The basic goal of any yachtsman is to avoid foul weather, but as we all know, it's bound to find us sooner or later. if you cannot make it into a safe port, you'll need to take some action. We'll assume that you already took the time to go through the boat with your crew for a proper safety briefing before you left. also, if you have a properly maintained boat, you'll fare better. (That's the subject of many books!) if you find yourself with an approaching squall, or sustained gale-force conditions, you can take steps ahead of time that will improve the safety and comfort of your crew.

---- — PLUM ISLAND — Plum Island Center remained closed yesterday over concerns about high tides in the wake of the Blizzard of 2013. Nearby, a weary Annapolis Way resident continued to do the little he could to keep his heavily damaged oceanfront home in one piece.
His house battered and beaten by a succession of powerful storms including this weekend's blizzard, Annapolis Way homeowner Thomas Nee said it was time to accept the fact that neither he nor his father could live there any longer.
Saturday's surge tide brought a ferocious pounding surf that some Plum Islanders said was the worst they have ever seen. The already vulnerable 300-yard section of beach just south of the island center took the worst of the pounding, with five homes on Annapolis Way and one on Dartmouth Avenue considered uninhabitable due to erosion damage.
Throughout the day yesterday, police were busy keeping the curious from parking at Plum Island Center. At mid-afternoon, a police officer there was heard asking for additional units to help him enforce the closure.
During the height of Saturday morning's high tide, waves crashed up and over the beach center, sending a cascade of salty water into the center parking area and knocking some people off their feet. The high tide also flooded Plum Island Turnpike, essentially stranding everyone on the island until water levels receded.
Yesterday, Newbury police Chief Michael Reilly said the parking lot remained closed but people could still walk to the beach. Yellow tape was placed behind the endangered houses to keep people away should they fall onto the beach. Reilly added the beach could be closed at some point to allow workers to further shore up affected homes.
An astrologically high tide Saturday morning around 10 a.m. did much to convince Nee that it was time to consider a new residence, after waves demolished the 6-inch concrete floor of his father's basement apartment and sucked out many of his belongings.
"I can't stay here," Nee said yesterday as he and a friend drained an oil tank of water.
Two houses over, at 41 Annpolis Way, the front patio was also all but ripped off in the storm. Both homes were unoccupied. Emergency workers closed Annapolis Way around 10:20 a.m. Saturday and wouldn't let anybody in after the waves began to flood the street. Prior to that, Newbury's building inspector Sam Joslin said that the Batchelder residence at 35 Annapolis Way had its gas tank pulled off the house by the surf.
The road was reopened to traffic yesterday and those who traveled it couldn't help but see a muddy mess with debris scattered along its path.
The storm surge on Saturday was devastating.
"It's absolute mayhem out there," said Bob Connors of 39 Annapolis Way, at the height of the surge. "The water is coming right up to the houses."
Emergency workers closed Annapolis Way around 10:20 a.m. and wouldn't let anybody in after the waves began to flood the street.
"We've got 20-foot seas crashing in causing flooding and some structural damage to some homes that sustained damage in the last storm," Connors said. "In my 33 years, I haven't seen the seas this high or rough. It certainly is not a place to be going for curiosity-seekers."
Board of Selectmen Chairman Joe Story said yesterday that high-tide events since Saturday morning have not caused additional damage.
Nee's house, built in 1980, is one of a handful of Annapoplis Way homes in danger of being lost. A surprisingly powerful storm surge in December carved away yards of sand and sent waves crashing into a half dozen or so homes. As a result, the town's building inspector deemed four houses — 29, 31, 35 and 37 Annapolis Way — uninhabitable. Affected homeowners quickly sprang into action, spending as much as $140,000 to install a series of tube-like coir bags that snaked in front of the affected homes.
In the hours leading up to this weekend's historic nor'easter, which reminded many of the infamous Blizzard of 1978, Nee, with the help of contractors and next-door neighbor Connors, installed columns that were meant to keep a precarious-looking addition from tumbling down. But the waves had other ideas, churning over the coir bags and blasting away the basement foundation, essentially destroying Nee's father's apartment. A look underneath the foundation saw huge sections of concrete splayed over a wide area and many personal items, including several pairs of shoes, a couch and a collection of brass items damaged.
Nee said his father, who is blind, was staying at a nearby hotel until a permanent home could be found.
Nee said the house would likely remain intact as the support beams were still in place. But Nee said what he needed to consider was whether it made sense to pump in anymore money to shore up a home he can't live in anymore. As recently as 2005, his property was appraised at $2.7 million. The value sharply decreased to $1.37 million by 2010. But after the most recent storms, Nee said he doubts the house would fetch even close to that amount.
"Nobody is going to buy this," Nee said. "You may save the house, but there is no value to it."

He never meant to throw her from the balcony. In a panic he looked round. There was no one else in the dimly lit theatre other than himself and the girl who had confronted him.
Duncan Smith was used to meeting young women after shows. Women were the bulk of the audience for his "Crossing the Divide" shows. Many did nothing for him, but he was often happy to offer comfort to his younger female fans if they had someone. If they were willing enough, he'd schedule private time after a show to attempt a personal séance with the departed, and maybe some more intimate support afterwards.
He'd thought the young woman hanging around on the balcony after the show was one of these. Lighting was handled from the projection box on the upper level, so often someone would be waiting for a personal moment. What he hadn't expected was a young woman by the projection box with a microphone. She claimed she had a recording she claimed revealed all his tricks. Unlikely, he cheated in so many ways, but no one needed the illusion shattered.
He'd never meant to push her. He simply wanted the recording. She'd struggled but she didn't have to. If she had given him the recording none of this need have happened. She retreated to the balcony edge, and after a tussle for the recording she was over the barrier. It was almost like she wanted to jump.
He stared down at the figure below, broken across the seats in the stalls, looking back up at him. She'd won. She'd jumped out of spite to end his career, and show she looked back up, gloating in death. She'd won. She had the recording.
He looked by the seats and found her bag. Sure enough there was a small microphone, plugged into a phone. He tried unlocking the phone to delete the recording, but he didn't have to the code. Damn.
He looked up from the phone, guilt driving him to check if she had seen him tamper with the phone. He looked down to the stalls below and saw only her dead blue eyes. This could look bad. He needed to show he'd done nothing wrong. He'd tried to stop her from jumping, and now… He took out his own phone and called the emergency services. "I need an ambulance at the Meridian Theatre. There's been a terrible accident."

Maniac Corner
Maniac Corner features the following free race day benefits for members of the Marathon Maniacs, Half Fanatics and 50-States Marathon Club.
- Private VIP Tent and fenced in outdoor area with volunteers to make sure you have a great experience.
- Professional group photo before the start of the race, made available at no-charge to members.

The Maniac Corner draws runners from across the country to the Williams Route 66 Marathon. Terry Nelson, from Kansas City, is a member of both Marathon Maniacs and the 50 States Marathon Club and has run more than 50 marathons. "Maniac Corner was one of the reasons I decided to run Route 66," Nelson said. "I had already run the Oklahoma City race, but I have a sister in Tulsa, so I decided to come to this race. The Williams Route 66 did a great job of welcoming us, and Maniac Corner was great."
Andrea Amend from Wisconsin became a Maniac with the Williams Route 66 Marathon. "I came here because of Maniac Corner," Amend said. "It was an excellent experience, with places to sit and personal gear check."
Specialized medals available
Members who register for the marathon before September 1, 2014 and indicate that they are a member of Marathon Maniacs, Half Fanatics or 50-States Marathon Club will receive a custom race number and special marathon finisher medal indicating their membership.
Please note that members of both clubs must select one club for their race number and medal. The special finisher medal will be provided in place of the regular finisher medal that other participants will receive. See the example images below from 2011. Members participating in the half marathon and marathon relay will receive the standard race numbers and medals.

A brief history of Darwinism: How one man's trip changed modern thinking
Maybe it's the broadening of existential horizons that comes with seeing how different folk dwell – or perhaps it's just long beach-bound days perfectly suited to naval-gazing – but overseas travel has a habit of bedevilling the professional ambitions of even the most career-satisfied.
You know the score: one week you're perfectly content toiling away in the sensibly chosen industry of your sensibly completed qualification, the next you're in Cuba ruminating that your true calling may be as an antique watch-repairer. And while such whimsical wanderings usually last no longer than the evening's final mojito, overseas adventurings can on occasion herald vocational redirections of the most drastic variety. Take Charles Darwin for instance.
A top trip: Vietnam Express
Always wanted to go to Vietnam? Jeremy Bookman explains why he gives it the thumbs up…
"This journey was a long time coming, but even with all the anticipation my Intrepid adventure still exceeded my wildest dreams. I finally found myself on the Vietnam Express trip going south from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. After a day or two adjusting to life in South East Asia, we left the kinetic pace of Hanoi behind for the serenity of Halong Bay.
North America's legendary road trips
Ahhh…the Road Trip. It's as American as apple pie, as Canadian as maple syrup and as Alaskan as…bears catching salmon? But if you're wondering why North America will always be the Road Trip's spiritual home, it all goes back to a guy named Henry Ford.
When Ford rolled his first Model T automobile off the production line in Detroit, Michigan, way back in the early 1900s, it changed the way regular Americans thought about travel. Sure, caravans, chariots and carriages (and even a few super-expensive cars) were already roaming around the continent well before Mr Ford came along. But these options were either too slow, or too expensive for most people. Ford's Model T made the automobile affordable, and made travel accessible to all. Instead of catching a train or boarding a crowded boat – motorists can now begin to explore this massive continent on their own, and visit cities and National Parks that they had only read about in books.
250 trips and 2484 Intrepid travellers
In October, Bruce McPhie clocked up 15 years full-time tour leading with Intrepid, making him the longest-serving Intrepid Group Leader in the world! This means that since 1997, 'Lemon Juice' Bruce has led 250 Intrepid trips, and shared the wonders of Vietnam and Cambodia with some 2,484 travellers from all around the world. In his words "I hope I've passed the apprenticeship"…
"When I first joined Intrepid I had no idea how long this new adventure would last. Looking back, I am amazed at how quickly the years have passed, how many diverse and interesting people I have met along the way, and how many incredible experiences I have had. It still feels surreal just to be here, still living this amazing life, and I have no wish for it to ever end!
Top trip: Road to Zanzibar
Travelling to Africa and choosing a camping trip that crosses vast savanna, overnights in jungles and introduces you to fascinating cultures, is stepping out of many people's comfort zone. For Peter Wicks it was a leap of faith in many ways, but it proved to be the trip of a lifetime…
"Road to Zanzibar is very high on the must-do-again list. Being in our mid-50′s, my wife and I were both a little concerned about taking on a camping tour (the last the time we camped was pre kids), but our worries were very quickly laid to rest. The tents provided by Intrepid were clean, very easy to put up and just as easy to take down.
Are our trips the best of the best?
Ever wondered who would win a fight between Batman and Superman? Imagine then what might happen if Spiderman, the Green Hornet, Wolverine, Hans Solo, Xena and Jackie Chan all stepped into the ring.
If you said it would be the ultimate rumble, then you'd be right. But as with any tight tussle, contenders need their own fans and supporters on their side. Intrepid is stepping into the ring in the TourRadar Most Amazing Tour Competition, up against every other global tour company, and we'd love to know – are you in our corner? Will you help cheer us to victory?
a top trip: timor-leste
More than 100 Intrepid travellers have been quick to join the special club of early visitors to the young nation of Timor-Leste. Act fast and you too could enjoy the unique experience on our trip departing 15 July, 2012, when we have a handful of discounted places available. This is a wonderful time of year to go – the rains have mostly cleared but the hills are still green and spectacular, making every bend in the road open out to a magnificent vista.
Jane Crouch was Intrepid's first group leader in Timor-Leste and she now has a longstanding and close association with this remarkable country. Jane recently caught up with our latest group and discovered that this new nation continues to captivate and charm its visitors…
a top trip: secrets of angkor
Sometimes we have the luxury of planning months in advance and being away for weeks, but then there are times when we suddenly have a few days off work and don't want to waste them. Dr Peter Bryar found himself in the latter situation, and it wasn't long before he was headed to Cambodia…
"Last year I had a week to spare and didn't know what to do. I visited Intrepid Travel in Melbourne and within a half hour was booked to travel to Siem Reap (and the incredible Angkor Wat) through a 3-day Short Break Adventure. My head was spinning the whole time because there was so much to see and experience.
a top trip: walking england's lake district
This is your chance to walk in the footsteps of Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter and modern day farmers. Walking England's Lake District is a very exciting new trip for Intrepid and there is only one special September departure of this premium walking experience.
Trace Wordsworth's footsteps from his preserved Dove Cottage home to his estate at Rydal Mount. Here, the resident caretaker gives you an exclusive private tour of the house and gardens that Wordsworth himself designed. It's an experience that culminates with a poetry reading, followed by a glass of wine and homemade gingerbread.
a top trip: classic peru
If you've ever wondered what we mean by 'Intrepid real life experiences', then this story from Jill Olsson on her Classic Peru trip explains perfectly…
"Our Intrepid trip to Peru last September provided my husband and I with memories that will last a lifetime. Whenever I look at the woven table runner in my home in New Zealand I am reminded of the hardworking women of that village we visited in the Sacred Valley between Cuzco and Ollantaytambo.
