Western Australian temperature outlook
Warmer nights for most parts of WA, warmer days in the southwest
Text details of chance of warmer maximum and minimum temperatures
- Warmer nights are more likely for most of WA
- Warmer days are more likely for parts of the southwest
- Climate influences include a brief Indian Ocean Dipole, and near-average Pacific waters
- Outlook accuracy for maximum temperatures is moderate over much of the south and west, and coastal parts of the Kimberley district
- Outlook accuracy for minimum temperatures is moderate or better over the Kimberley district but is generally low elsewhere
- Details are summarised in our new monthly Climate and Water Outlook video
The chances of warmer than normal maximum temperatures for August to October are close to 50% for most of WA. The odds of a warmer than normal season are greater than 60% in the southwest (rising to greater than 80% in parts of the South West, Great Southern and South Coastal districts), along the southern coast, and eastern parts of the Kimberley district.
The chances of warmer than normal minimum temperatures for August to October are greater than 60% for most parts of WA, strengthening to greater than 80% in the southwest. The chances of warmer than normal average minimum temperatures in western parts of the Gascoyne and Pilbara districts are close to 50%.
Climate influences
Warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean over the past several months has primed the climate system for an El Niño in 2014. However, in the absence of the necessary atmospheric response, Pacific Ocean temperatures have either stabilised or some cooling has occurred. Despite some easing in the model outlooks, a majority of international climate models still indicate El Niño is likely to develop during spring 2014.
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) index has been below −0.4°C (the negative IOD threshold) since mid-June. Model outlooks suggest the IOD is likely to return to neutral by spring. A negative IOD typically brings wetter winter and spring conditions to inland and southern Australia. It is possible that the effects of the Indian Ocean and Pacific are competing to some degree, and hence are cancelling each other out.
How accurate is the outlook?
Maximum temperature outlook accuracy for the August to October period is:
- Moderate over much of the south and west, and coastal parts of the Kimberley district
- Low to very low over the rest of WA
Minimum temperature outlook accuracy for the August to October period is:
- Moderate to high over the Kimberley district
- Low to very low for the rest of WA (see map)
- Regional versions:
- Australia
- Northern Australia
- Southeastern Australia
- Western Australia

Model accuracy
Model accuracy (also known as model confidence or model skill) is a measure of how well a model has performed at that time of year in the past. One way that the Bureau measures the accuracy of its climate models is by comparing how often the outlook favoured a particular category (for example, when above median rainfall was more likely to occur than below median rainfall), and that favoured category was then subsequently observed. This measurement of accuracy is known as "Percent Consistent", and has been tested for the official seasonal outlook model over the period from 1981 to 2010.
The accuracy levels on the maps give an indication of how well the outlooks match the observed outcomes. High accuracy means that tests of the model on historical data show a strong relationship between the most likely outlook category (above or below median) and the subsequent observation (above or below median). In areas with high accuracy, historically the model has performed very well, and hence a high degree of confidence can be placed in future outlooks. On the other hand, low accuracy means the model has not performed well in these regions and therefore the outlook should be used with caution. In the places and seasons where the outlooks are most skilful, the category of the eventual outcome (above or below median) is consistent with the category favoured in the outlook about 75% of the time. In the least skilful areas, the outlooks perform no better than random chance (equivalent to the "flip of a coin").
A random forecast of above median rainfall will be correct about 50% of the time. For this reason, the green shading on the map shows areas where the model has greater than 50% accuracy only. In areas which are not coloured in green on the map, some caution should be taken when using the forecast, notably at times when there is not a strong climate influence (for example, no El Niño or La Niña is present).
The maximum temperature outlook accuracy is good for most of the year, with the lowest point during the winter seasons. Of the variables predicted (i.e. rainfall, and maximum and minimum temperature), maximum temperature performs best. The minimum temperature outlook accuracy peaks during summer, late autumn and late spring. Accuracy is lowest during late summer and late winter.
As a guide, the Bureau uses the following terminology when referring to the accuracy of the outlooks:
|Map key
|75% and above - very high
|65 to 75% - high
|55 to 65% moderate
|50 to 55% - low
|45 to 50% - low
|Below 45% - very low
What is normal for this period?
These maps show the median (or 50th percentile) maximum and minimum temperature for the given three months. The median temperatures are calculated from the 1981-2010 period.
The maps will differ from other median maps on the Bureau's website. This is because the dynamical model forecasts use an averaging period of 1981-2010. The quality of the dynamical model forecasts is in-part determined by the coverage and accuracy of the observations fed into it. Therefore, to be consistent from one year to the next, the Bureau has only run the model during the modern satellite era.
About the outlook
Using the outlook
The Bureau's rainfall seasonal climate outlooks are general statements about the likelihood of wetter or drier than average weather over a three-month period. The probabilities are generated from the Predictive Ocean Atmosphere Model for Australia (POAMA), the Bureau of Meteorology's dynamical climate model. It is important to note that they are not categorical predictions about future rainfall, and hence the success or failure of one individual outlook does not infer that the model has low skill. Skill is assessed over multiple runs of the model. Likewise, temperature outlooks give the likelihood or chance of exceeding the average maximum and minimum temperatures over the entire three-month outlook period. Information about whether individual weeks or months may be unusually hot or cold, is presently unavailable.
Probability outlooks should not be used as if they were categorical (yes/no) forecasts. These outlooks should be used as a tool in risk management and decision making. Greatest benefits accrue from long-term use, say over 10 years.
About the model
The seasonal climate outlooks are generated by the Predictive Climate Ocean Atmosphere Model for Australia (POAMA), a dynamical (physics based) climate model developed by the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. This coupled atmosphere-ocean model is a state of the art seasonal forecast system. Read more about POAMA.
The POAMA model is undergoing continuous research and development. Advances in the science of seasonal prediction, improvements in the observations and how they are fed into the model, as well as increases in supercomputing power are just some of the ways the model's accuracy will increase over time.

Search matters
One service that Google naturally may have a leg up on is search. Many of the current cloud storage services have clunky search engines that allow users to find files based on names or dates, but not content.
What would be especially interesting, Gillett said, is if Google Drive not only allowed users to search data stores, but connected services such as Google Mail, as well as the physical device itself - all using the same interface.
Four other companies already allow users to search multiple applications and devices. For example, FoundApp creates indexes on a user's computer so you can search Gmail, Google Docs, Drop Box and files on the computer itself. Other providers who offer multiple online or physical device search include: PrimaDesk, CloudMagic and Greplin.
"That would be really interesting," Gillett said. "If Google showed up to the party with a comprehensive search on all my services, plus the sync capability. That would be cool. I don't think they're going to show up with that."
You'll also want to find out how much free capacity a cloud storage service is offering -- as opposed to extra storage you must pay for. Dropbox, for example, provides 2GB free; Box and SugarSync offer 5GB; Apple's iCloud offers 25GB, while Microsoft's SkyDrive provides 25GB with 5GB available for syncing to a local file folder in Windows.
"For all we know, Google Drive will share the same 7.7GB of space that you get with Gmail. Then if pay $5, you get another 20GB, which is cheaper than most," Gillett said.

For my final project, I wanted to incorporate elements of Physical Computing, Processing, and the XBox Kinect. Just recently, I attended a Kinect workshop at ITP facilitated by Phoenix Perry. In the workshop, she discussed how to set up an Xbox Kinect as well setting up skeletal mapping with Unity 3D. I think that workshop is what encouraged me to utilize the Kinect in my final project.
So, my concept is tentatively entitled – Jewel Heist. Ever since I was little, I've been enamored by numerous jewel heist movies.The Setup. The Heist. The Getaway. All of it. In Jewel Heist, a jewel is locked with a lockbox/safe. In order to unlock the safe, you will need answer a series of questions (asked via the Processing "Security System"). The answers are in fact physical actions that must be registered by the Kinect.
Now, one problem that I faced was how would I set up a Kinect action that would both trigger a reaction in both the outputs in my Arduino and Processing. In Phoenix Perry's workshop, she mentioned a software called OpenNI that would act as a bridge between the Kinect and other output devices. If you look at the following video on youtube, XXXXX was able to allow an action that registered with a connect control the movement of a servo via his arduino. All of this was made possible through OpenNI.
After many days of poring over OpenNI documentation, I still could not figure out how to bridge the skeletal mapping data read by the Kinect with the Arduino and Processing. So, I contacted Greg Borenstein who happens to be a ITP Resident & author of Making Things See: 3D vision with Kinect, Processing, Arduino, and MakerBot. Greg suggested that I use a Processing Library called SimpleOpenNI. With it, an action registered with the kinect could trigger a reaction within Processing; and, utilizing serial communication, that reaction within processing would trigger my desired output with my Arduino.

wipe your eyes and put up your head
I wish you could be happy instead
There's nothing else I can do
But love you the best that I can
yeah yeah yeah yeah

I know
that it's hard to be stuck with
people that you love
when nobody trusts
You're not the only one who's been trough
I've been there alone and now so are you
I just want you to know, want you to know it's not your fault.
it's not your fault
your fault your fault
it's not your fault
your fault your fault your fault

Review submitted: March 30, 2014 Date of arrival: March 24, 2014
This is our second time here in only 4 months and I hope to go back soon! The hiking trails are literally right behind the house so if you like to hike this is the house for you. There is plenty of room and so close to everything yet it feels far away. I can't wait to go back! If you do not choose this cabin you are missing out.

Great Find
Review submitted: January 16, 2014 Date of arrival: December 29, 2013
The pics and reviews just didn't do this place justice. It had more than enough room and had stunning views off the back porch. Entire property was covered in snow when we arrived. Kids quickly found sledding equipment in the garage and it was hard to get them off the hill on the side of the driveway. Everything we needed was in the cabin. Short drives to grocery stores was also very convenient. Overall, I would hope to come back to this place during the winter again and I would recommend to anyone thinking of renting this house.

We fell in love with this place! It was what we expected and more. We had an amazing time. We have rented many cabins over the 4+ years we have lived here and this is by far our favorite. The hiking trails are literally right outside the back door. It was so nice not to have to drive somewhere just to hike. We hiked in the morning and afternoon and enjoyed every second of it. It was so close to everything but felt like you were not. I know people complained of the bathroom door sticking but it was not an issue for us. We had everything we needed there and more. The 3rd level does get really hot during the day so keep a window open but don't forget to close it at night! There were cute little fireplaces in the master and the 3rd floor bedroom. Overall I gave this place a 5 and I can't wait to go back. It was beautiful and relaxing. Sitting outside by the fireplace and listening to the breeze go through the trees was very peaceful. I would highly recommend this place! We even got to see the most beautiful red fox!!

Excellent place to enjoy the mountains!
Review submitted: July 6, 2013 Date of arrival: June 27, 2013
My entire family went together to rent this house, and we are ready to go back again. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the house. It is nice, clean and had the necessary things to get by for a few days. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep, and different areas for watching TV/ movies. The view is perfect and having the trails behind the house is great.
Overall, everything was great. I do agree with some of the others that there are a few repairs that are needed like windows/screens, door knobs and the dragging bathroom door. None of these things prevented us from enjoying our trip though. We could have used a couple more trash bags and TP, but we did not run out. There was not foil, so we got our own at WalMart. A couple of more suggestions would be blinds/ shades for some of the windows and a spare propane tank for the grill. I was only able to grill part of the food that I wanted to because we ran out of propane. I did request a refill, but it did not arrive before we left. No hard feelings, but a spare tank in the garage would be helpful.
We can't wait to come back. We already feel like this is part of "our" home. I highly recommend this home.

Great house, poor maintenance, broken hot tub and pellet stove
Review submitted: April 6, 2013 Date of arrival: March 18, 2013
We were less than satisfied with this particular home, after staying at multiple homes previously in the area. Upon our arrival, we found many items broken in the house, specifically the hot tub and pellet stove which heated half of the house. We were sent "hot tub rules" prior to our arrival and picked this home out specifically for the hot tub which viewed Pike's Peak. It did not have any water in it and when we called the mgmt company after our arrival, we were told it was broken prior to our reservation, yet instead of an apology or offer of a partial refund, we were scolded that we arrived thirty minutes earlier than we should have. Secondly, the entire north side of the house is heated by one pellet stove, which had a sign on it that it was broken. There was a sign to use space heaters. One outlet worked in that wing, and it would blow a fuse if two space heaters were plugged into it. Thus, that area remained around 50-55 degrees our whole stay. The main pellet stove was also difficult to work, and we would find the house frequently would go from 70-50 degrees in the blink of an eye. The house simply is lacking in overall maintenance. Many lights burnt out and no lightbulbs found to replace them. Vacuum broken. Starter switch on gas grill broken so you had to light by sticking your hand down inside it. Propane tank was empty.The lack of attention to upkeep in this house, made our stay frustrating and the difficulty getting a hold of management made it worse. The house, however, is a very nice home and in a beautiful location, with breathtaking views of Pike's Peak. Had the hot tub been working as indicated, it would've been truly a memorable view! The house sits in front of an entrance to Pike national forest, which was so great to have that accessibility so close. The trails were amazing and very memorable for our family. the property needs more attention and the agency needs to to work on their customer service. When we called with the complaint about the hot tub, we felt like we were treated like disobedient children. We had invited another family to join us on this trip and thus we made the best of it, however we were very let down by this property.

Owners response:
Dear Guest,
We are so sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with your stay! Please accept our apologies for the confusion on the hot tub. While this property did not advertise a hot tub at the time that you made your reservation, we did make a mistake and email a copy of our "hot tub rules", thus getting your hopes up that there might actually be a hot tub. That was a clerical error on our part and we are very sorry that it caused you to be disappointed upon arrival.
I did speak with you over the phone concerning the pellet stove on the day that you arrived, but you said that you had figured out how to operate it and that it was no problem. We do wish you would have let us know that you continued to have issues!
Regarding the other maintenance issues that you mentioned, we sincerely wish you would have let us know about these during your stay as we would have been happy to send someone over to address these items. We are very sorry for any inconvenience they may have caused. We do appreciate you letting us know about them so we can repair and replace items as needed for future guests.
Our management staff is always available to address issues during a guest's stay, however due to the mountainous area that we live in cell phone service is sometimes limited. As a note to future guests, please be sure to always leave a voicemail containing your phone number and we will get back to you just as soon as possible.
We strive to provide a superb lodging experience to all of our guests, and are very disappointed to hear that you ended your stay with us unhappy. We would like to extend a 15% discount to your family on a future stay with us.

Awesome Vacation Cabin!
Review submitted: August 7, 2012 Date of arrival: July 27, 2012
This cabin is wonderful and one of the nicest ones in the area! The pictures do not do it justice. Rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated in a log cabin theme. Beds and furniture are all very comfortable. Hot tub was awesome -- so nice to soak to the views of Pikes Peak in a private setting. Huge deck with plenty of patio furniture. Floor to ceiling windows in some rooms made for amazing views. With 3 family rooms and 3 televisions, everyone could really spread out. Dining area housed a huge table that was perfect for family dinners and playing board games. Cabin is situated in a private and quiet area. Woodland Park is a beautiful town and within driving distance to a lot of attractions -- Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek, Royal Gorge, etc. We visited the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center in Divide and that was really interesting. Took a fun tour of Mollie Kathleen's Gold Mine in Cripple Creek. It was an easy drive to Manitou Springs to take the Cog Railway up to Pikes Peak. So much to do and see in this area,but it was also so nice to take some days to just relax at this luxury cabin. It was supplied with everything we could possibly need. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

This is a gorgous house and is fully stocked. We loved our stay, you couldnt ask for a better location. The house is beautifully decorated, with lots of room and great beds. We will always rent a house in the future verses a motel room, we couldnt have been more comfortable. We were alittle surprised at the manager or owner pulling in 30 minutes early but we were already leaving anyway. Thanks homeaway.

Love this home.. Perfect location
Review submitted: January 19, 2012 Date of arrival: January 13, 2012
Woodland Park is not far from my home.. but staying in this lovely home made it feel so far away. I loved the floorplan and the space. The view are spectacular and the access t the national forest trails was such a bonus. Maggie and Mike were absolutley wonderful to work with and the house was clean and well stocked. I loved the Hottub.. it was such a nice evening and so peaceful and quiet. I would stay here again.
Comment to owner would be to invest in blinds upstairs.. gets too hot.

House is set up so nice and decorated so cute. Outside is perfect, but the home needs a lot of maintenance and a good thorough cleaning. There weren't enough necessities. Two trash bags for a six-night stay for 10 people. We also had to purchase bulbs, T-paper and paper towels. Bathroom and bedroom doors do not have locks on them. Need a shade or curtain on master bedroom window. Deck is right outside, so anyone could look thru the window. Pellet stove in dining/sitting room was not working, so it was very cold. Plumbing under sink was not fitted properly and the first time we turned on the disposer, water came out from under sink. My husband tightened it, but it should be looked into. The faucet in the downstairs bath didn't properly work. The kids couldn't even adjust their own water for showers, and we had a very hard time, too. Ice maker didn't work in refrigerator/freezer. One of the windows in upstairs window wouldn't open (it got very hot upstairs during the day). We still had a great time with everything there was to see close to this house. We would definitely come back to this house if the above items were taken care of.

Owners response:
We are so sorry to hear of the issues you had, and we thank you for pointing them out to us. We take so much pride in making sure our cabin are in the very clean and well maintained and supplied. We have never ever had a complaint about the cleaning staff that clean this home. They are also very good about making sure the cabin is stocked with TP and PT, as well as checking and changing light bulbs.
As far as the maintenance items. The owner continues to make improvements to the home - she had just bought a new pellet stove and we put that one in the living room and move the one that was there into the back room - and found we had a problem with it - so since you all were arriving very soon - we did go ahead an put an out of order sign on it and left some electric space heaters. Every door in the house are actually very historic and came from an historic hotel in Victor - they did not have our typical locking mechanisms.
And although the new fridge does have an icemaker - we purposely chose not to have it hooked up - not an easy way to do that with a slab floor and not being close to a water source. There are several windows upstairs - were you not able to open some of the others - we recently had a window company tune up and make sure all the windows were operational we will get them back over.
So we do apologize if these things upset your vacation, and
will take all our your comments and check these things out.

Awesome Cabin, Beautiful View of Pikes Peak
Review submitted: September 28, 2011 Date of arrival: September 15, 2011
we had an awesome time at the cabin we cooked on the grill outside it worked like a charm just everything you could ask for in this cabin (and may i say the loft bedroom ahh was absolutely awesome, i had my own little fireplace and wake up to the view of pikes peak WOW!)we had two other familes with us( total of 8 all together) and there was plenty of room. the second family room was awesome, we had plenty of room to play cards on the dining table( just a couple things i would change is the lighting there could have been more lighting in the second family room and the rail once you get to the loft in second family room was loose) we cant wait to come back! woodland park was just a great place to come to, there were plenty of restraunts and things to do in woodland park, can't give no tips on good restraunts we bought food to cook ( family of cookers) our family cant wait to come back :) thanks Mike and Maggie so much! and one thing that we like was the binder of things to do around that area and tips for altitude sickness( my brother and i experienced that when we first got there we felt like we were drunk, but one thing to do if you have altitude sickness is increase your water intake and after we did we had no problems) something you must do while you're there is the Cog Railroad which goes to the top of pikes peak( if you do decide to go make reservations) another must see is the GARDEN OF THE GODS!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!

Very clean, well cared for, and gorgeous house. Mike and Maggie are fantastic property managers, and there is not one thing I could complain about, other than that we didn't book a longer trip. The hiking trail right outside the house was so fun. We truly could have just hung out at the house the whole time and not been bored for a minute. Our 6 kids (ages 11 on down to almost 2yrs) had a blast exploring inside and out, and when we were out seeing the sights, asked when we could go back to our 'cabin'. We ate most of our meals there, and while I brought most everything I needed (except the pans and utensils), I needn't have. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of space for a family of 8 to spread out. Had a great time. Thanks so much!!

Our stay at our Woodland Park vacation rental house was wonderful. The houses was clean and fully stocked with bath towels and just about every other household item you would ever need. The water pressure was great and the convenient location was everything we wanted. It was easy working with Mike and Maggie. The renting process was easy and honest and our stay was carefree.

In celebration of our 30th anniversary our children and their spouses joined us for a family vacation (our first one). The accomadations were wonderful...plenty of room for all four families. The view....what can I say....it was beautiful! Waking up to a view of Pikes Peak through your bedroom window every morning was an awesome sight. We brought most of our food with us but picked up necessary supplies at Safeway and Walmart. The house was well stocked with general supplies so no need to bring them along. The hot tub on the deck was a hit with everyone...cool evening temps and a warm relaxing dip in the water:)
Thanks Mike and Maggie for an enjoyable and relaxing stay in your home.

Just got back from staying at this home. We had an awesome experience. The house was clean and well stocked. We drove in on a cloudy day and woke up to the beautiful mountains. National forest in the backyard provided us with a day of hiking. Can't say enough good things about our stay there.

Mountain Retreat
Review submitted: October 27, 2010 Date of arrival: October 14, 2010
Our daughters family recently moved to the Springs area and we decided to drive from Utah to visit with them. Thought it would be nice to spend some time in the mountains with their family. It was perfect for adults as well as two young boys and a teenager. The weather was beautiful with warm days and cool nights. We all had plenty of room to spread out and the game room served as a eating area as well. The pellet stoves kept the cabin cozy while we played games and watched movies. Was a wonderful base to visit Manitou Springs, Cripple Creek, Garden of the Gods or just chill at the cabin. The cabin was clean and well maintained, I replaced a few light bulbs that had burnt out. We could have used some additional lamps and kitchen utinsels for convenience sake. We ate our breakfast & dinner at the cabin and lunch while we were away from the cabin. Enjoyed the COG railway and ate our lunch at the station, also ate lunch a Mexican restaurant in Manitou Springs. Our family had a wonderful time at the cabin.

Owners response: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at this cabin, which is one of the favorite cabins. Pikes Peak Views incredible, can't beat the location - seems to work for everyone - those that want to be close to town and those that want that mountain feel.

Woodland Park, Colorado #245199
Review submitted: August 9, 2010 Date of arrival: July 31, 2010
The house was wonderful. The living room furniture was very comfy. We had 12 in our party and never felt cramped for space. The kids in our group camped out in the separate family room with the futons and an air mattress. That room also had the dining table in it but there were only 6 chairs so that was used for games, etc.The kitchen also needed more silverware. We basically had our meals at the bar and throughout the attached living room. Only the king bedroom is on the main floor so if their are elderly people in your group they will be climbing stairs. There was a main floor bathroom and a second floor bathroom, Both were well stocked with bath towels etc. It would be nice if the house had more working screen windows and screen doors.The view was Spectacular!! Loved the fact that you could walk out the door and immediately be on a hiking, biking trail. Woodland Park is large enough to have a superwalmart and we also loved the yellow house Mexican food restaurant (Carlos Migual's?)corner of Baldwin and Hwy 24, and the Friday night fish fry at Buck's in downtown Woodland Park and the farmers market on Friday.Of course all the Colorado Springs tourist attractions are very close, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, SevenFalls, Cave of the Winds, NorthPole Village, etc. If you like shopping check out Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs. We also did rafting in Buena Vista, about 80 miles away and passed herds of buffalo and antelope. At dusk we would drive 6 miles to Rampart Range and saw herds of elk. At the house there were chipmonks, rabbits, foxes, and mule deer. Our group ranged from age 3 to almost 60 and everyone was very comfortable at the house. The management firm called back in a timely manner when we did have a problem or question. You can't beat the location or the view of Pikes Peaks from your living room windows, third floor sitting area or the large deck with the outdoor furniture It was nice to have the large garage for all the outdoor equipment we brought, mountainbikes, fishing gear, etc. We would definitely rent the house again!! We had an awesome time!!

Amazing Scenery
Review submitted: June 10, 2010 Date of arrival: June 2, 2010
My family and I stayed in this home during the first week of June. The pictures on this website do not do it justice. You never know what you're going to get by booking online, but I can say that this place truly exceeded my expectations. There was so much room, and the owners left plenty of items in the house, so that you didn't need to run to the store for things like coffee, tissues, and condiments. There was a closet full of clean towels, and even brochures for area attractions. I felt like this was more comparable to a Bed and Breakfast instead of a vacation rental. Although we never saw the owners, their hospitality was left in the details of this beautiful place. And don't forget the most important part-Amazing views of Pikes Peak. If you are looking for peace and quiet with plenty of room to roam, this is the place for you. Also, most of the area attractions are within a 15 mile radius.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There are several different living areas that allowed everyone to spread out. The kids could go hiking on the trails, or hang out as a group and play video games. The location is perfect. We were close to Woodland Park, yet out side of town. We would definately recommend this property to family and friends.

Wonderful in Woodland Park
Review submitted: July 17, 2009 Date of arrival: July 11, 2009
We stayed for a week at this house, and had a great time. The description of the property was right on, and the location was breath-taking. The only thing required was groceries, and we were ready to go. The layout was great for what we needed. Everything was clean and very well maintained. I would recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in the Woodland Park area. We were there for a baseball tournament, and being 5 minutes away was awesome. Our favorite place to eat was in Manitou Springs, a little pizza joint called Savelli's. Great eats!! We had 10 people, and one of our concerns was the hot water for showers. Never had a problem, even with the washing machine running. Don't hesitate. I promise you that you will love this place. Lots and lots of room, even a sweet little family of chipmunks living under the deck. We didn't want to leave....

TAZEWELL (WVVA) – The Drytown Sewer Project is back on track after an investigation by the Town of Tazewell.
Town Manager, Todd Day says he was contacted by a local attorney whose client had not signed an easement. However, the signature was on the document. "In investigating, we found an easement that was actually signed," says Day.
Thompson and Litton, an engineering firm in Tazewell is the company in charge of getting the easements.
Day says through their investigation, an employee of the firm had forged the signatures and had the documents notarized by an employee who also worked at Thompson and Litton.
According to Day, the employees have had disciplinary actions taken and are no longer employed.
We contacted Thompson and Litton who requested not to speak of the situation. However, Ron Helton, a spokesperson for Thompson and Litton released this statement: "Thompson and Litton's focus at this time is to obtain all documents so that this construction can commence."
Residents of the Drytown area say they are shocked someone would do this. "I can not believe anyone would think they could sign a land document deeding your property away without being found out," said Charles Vernon.

Albany -- The Easter Bunny makes a special visit to children at area hospitals. The floppy eared friend walked down the children's wing of Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital spreading Easter cheer.
The Easter Bunny bought a smile to sick children's faces, along with other surprises like coloring books and stuffed animals.
The Dougherty County Police Department sponsored the event today, in connection with the Easter Bunny Foundation. They say they're happy to provide the service and hope to continue the visits in the future.
"It's unfortunate that the children have to be in the hospital on Easter and we just want to bring a smile to them with a visit from the Easter Bunny," said Captain Jimmy Sexton.
The Easter Bunny Foundation was founded 11 years ago in Florida. This is the second Easter Dougherty County Police have made hospital visits with the Easter Bunny.

PHOENIX -- A park in Mesa will be dedicated Saturday to the memory of a Phoenix police officer killed in the line of duty.
Officer Shane Figueroa, who grew up in Mesa, was killed in 2008. The park, at Signal Butte and Ray roads, will be called Figueroa Green. Members of the Figueroa family are expected to attend the ceremony.
Figueroa was in his patrol car when he was hit by a drunk driver near 19th Avenue and Roeser Road. The officer had been responding to reports of shots fired.
"We're extremely appreciative of the efforts made by the Mesa City Council and DMB (the home developer)," said Phoenix Sgt. Steve Martos.

Now that the warmer season has arrived, so have the rummage sales. The Robin Hood Foundation of Danville is ready and eager to pick up what is left over after your event. Your leftovers benefit so many families in Danville.
For those who don't want to bother with having a sale, your donation will be much appreciated. Your items also are tax deductible since we are a state certified non-profit group. We accept clothing, household items and furniture. Everything must be clean and in good shape.
Why this organization over the others? We come to your home to pick up your items.
The items that are distributed to these low-income families are free. With today's economy, it's difficult to make ends meet as it is. Receiving these items takes a tremendous burden off of these families.
These families are appreciative of what is given to them. If it wasn't for our distribution, many children would not have decent clothes for school.
Personally, I have been doing this for more than 27 years.
I have seen first-hand families in poverty. We have helped numerous fire and flood victims. Because of your years of generosity, so many families would do without of our everyday items we take for granted.
The Robin Hood Foundation of Danville never questions the need. In the Bible, it instructs us to help the poor. There will always be poor amongst us. Give to them liberally.
We pick up in the cities of Danville, Westville, Georgetown, Catlin, Oakwood, Bismarck and Covington, Ind. Just give us a call.
Thank you, and may God bless you.

Looks like Al did it Again. I dont know if this has been talked about or not, but it looks like Al Davis has yet again out smarted others.
Monday, the Raiders senior executive John Herrera fired back at critics by defending the transactions, explaining none of the deals contained any bonuses and no money would be paid until the players stepped foot on the field.
"When you're signing these players to contracts the way we signed them, these contracts are all for the future," Herrera told the Associated Press. "These guys will have to come in and play and earn their money before they get paid. The Raiders have not paid out a dime at this point in time.
"What we did is protect our football team. These are moves that protect our franchise and protect our team and put us in a position to move on.""
Basically We have not spent a Dime, until the Season Starts. If their is no season, the players are ours, but are not paid a dime until they do play is what I get from this, if i read it correctly. This basically locks up our players without having to pay them until everything is done.

- Service was impeccableAtlantaVIPDined on 8/31/2014After 3 full days of DragonCon, friends and I wanted a respite from the crowds and a taste of civilization. My friends and I are foodies, and with Mortons a short block from the Marriott it was kismet. There were tables available. Although two of us were in costumes the staff was gracious and kind. Our waitress was courteous and attentive and the food was excellent. My only negative was the lobster bisque, which lacked the depth of flavor / lobster creaminess one would expect. It was also a little runny. The rest of our meal was lovely. We had such a delightful time, two of us stayed later to enjoy a few glasses of port.Special Features:

- Not what I have come to expect...OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/25/2014We treated our son to a Morton's steak the night before he left for China. I was so disappointed with the quality of the meal and the ambiance. We were seated next to the kitchen and I could hear and see kitchen staff arguing with wait staff. The music was so loud we couldn't have a conversation. I asked for it to be turned down but it wasn't. The food was mediocre at best. Our waitress dropped the salads in the floor. I felt like I was at Waffle House. The one thing my daughter wanted was onion rings. It was on the menu but they didn't have any. One of our party asked for pasta and mushrooms and they forgot the mushrooms altogether. My filet had gristle throughout the steak. It's a shame my son's last American meal was so...blah.Special Features:
- DisappointingLBACEDined on 8/22/2014Went to Mortons expecting a high quality dining experiance and walked away very disappointed. The steaks ordered were high in fat marble, and gristly. For spending $ 55.00 per steak, we expected a lot more. Side items ordered were okay, but meager in porportion for the cost. Overall, the 4 people in our party were very disappointed in this experiance from a so called high quality steakhouse.
- Great RestaurantWadeBDined on 8/17/2014We took advantage of restaurant week and visited Morton's steakhouse, we ordered from the special menu they had for the week and everything was great, out of the 4 of us everyone enjoyed their meals. My wife had the steak and I had the stuffed shrimp, it was all good from the appetizers right down to the dessert. We will come back again.Special Features:
- Great ServiceLadycop77Dined on 8/17/2014Our group visited Atlanta on 8/19-8/22. We chose Morton's for a birthday celebration for my sister. The wait was none. The food and service were both great. The price was even better. We went on the end of restaurant week. I would recommend Morton's for food and drink and day. Thanks Morton's for a great time.Special Features:
- Over seasoned food and bad serviceLoveyinAtlantaDined on 8/17/2014My soup had too much rosemary seasoning, my replacement salad was just plain lettuce and no tomato or onion w/ dressing, my pork chop was double cut and raw in the middle and had to be cooked more. Management was not concerned about the multiple issues with my meal and discounted my feedback. The waiter was not friendly and did not refill the beverages, we was uninterested in serving our table, since we all ordered the $35 restaurant week special. The only positive was that we did not spend $100 a person from the regular menu to get bad food with poor service!
- Restaurant weekDiamDined on 8/16/2014I went during restaurant week and food was great, pre menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not impressedfoodloverVIPDined on 8/16/2014I used to go to Morton in midtown to entertain my business clients. Now it was closed and I went to try this one in downtown as part of the restaurant week. The service was definitely not very friendly when I ordered the $35 special. The small steak I got was not well cooked. I can make better steak than that. I gave my valet ticket to the waiter so that they can pull my car to the door. When I got out, the valet told me my car was parked about 200 feet down the street and he said that it was more convenient to go get it myself. So much for $5 valet. I will not go back. I enjoyed the one in midtown before and I must have gone there over 10 times. But I will not go again to this one.
- fantastic!johnnyr0xDined on 8/16/2014My new favorite steak restaurant in Atlanta! We came here for Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week. It was a great surprise as I had never heard of them. We really loved all the food here and the onion loaf was a really nice touch. We had the Tuna tower, Filet, salmon, creamed corn, and key lime pie. We will be back.Special Features:
- Phenomenal ExperienceSatisfactionSeekerDined on 8/16/2014As a first timer at Morton's, my experience was phenomenal from the moment I pulled into valet. The people matched professionalism from the valet to the receptionist to the server and most importantly our waiter, Brian. The food undoubtedly matched and I may have to say exceeded the outstanding ambiance and service. I was immensely pleased with the overall experience and am excited to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Early SaurdayKmanDined on 8/16/2014Arrived at 6:45 and the restaurant was about 75% full. Probably because it was restaurant week thus less expensive (diner for 2 was $132 including valet). Great food and service. Only concerns were the high noise level and the tables rather close together.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014A great place to celebrate a special occasion. We were celebrating our anniversary. Morton's provided complimentary dessert, a very nice framed photo, and a personal menu announcing our anniversary. It is a bit pricy, therefore we can only go on special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Downtown Atlanta Restaurant WeektekphanDined on 8/16/2014Excellent entrée options for Downtown Atlanta Restaurant week. My husband chose the Filet and I chose the stuffed shrimp. We shared and got the best of both worlds! As always, the service was exceptional, prompt and courteous. We frequent Morton's for special occasions and are never disappointed. Nice touch that our waiter asked for our valet ticket and sent for out car as we were paying for dinner. Also the wine recommendation was terrific-everyone liked the Riesling he suggested.Special Features:
- Consistency!!KappaSquare7Dined on 8/16/2014Morton's is great, but so all all of the restaurants under the Landry's brand! This is a wonderful spot with wonderful food and wonderful service. It will be like that EVERY time you come to visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Celebration NOT!!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/15/2014I thought I would give my Wife of 27 years a really classy restaurant by going to Morton's. Don't bother. It was not only my anniversary but also my birthday. What a disappointment. Upon arrival we had a slight delay getting to the table, nice touch with menu's that said happy birthday and anniversary. We did choose off the $35 menu so we could get a taste of everything. My steak was nice but Karen's was under done. We ordered an extra side dish and when our food came the side was missing, we asked for it but it was delayed, causing our food to get cold. At the end my wife spoke to a waitress and told her about her steak being raw, and no action taken. No one asked us was our steak cooked to our liking Never going again!!Special Features:
- Special night outDatesonDined on 8/15/2014Excellent variety for restaurant week. Enjoyed the whole experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday SurpriseMomoDined on 8/15/2014Morton's went out of their way to accommodate my boyfriend and guest for his surprise dinner. The staff is were extremely friendly and helpful in making the surprise dinner a success! They even through in some surprises I didn't know about! The food was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expected so much moreOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/14/2014Ok, I get it....yes, it was restaurant week so the menu is smaller and the prices are lower...but honestly, I was really unimpressed with the food. The actual steak was amazing and cooked perfectly, but looking beyond that, my salad was nothing but cheap lettuce coated in dressing and the mashed potatoes could have been boxed. The wine list is incredibly overpriced (Kim Crawford for $60/bottle or $15/glass is a little excessive). The service was great, but I doubt it would be where I decide to spend my money for dinner.
- Downtown Atlanta Restaurant WeekClaireVIPDined on 8/13/2014Upon arriving at the restaurant, I found the hostess and management staff to be quite friendly. Although I went to Morton's specifically for the Downtown Restaurant Week promotion, there was no evidence that the restaurant was participating - no signs at the hostess stand, or at the tables. Our server did not present the Restaurant Week menu, so we had to ask for it. He replied, "Oh yes, that's our significantly reduced menu." While the server remained attentive throughout our meal, as did the management staff, no one asked how we were enjoying the Restaurant Week promotion. I think the restaurant missed an opportunity to gain a new loyal customer but not taking advantage of the Restaurant Week promotion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good experienceCtcusf23Dined on 8/13/2014I enjoyed my first dinner at the downtown location. Food is good, as usual. The service was really good. The only downfall is that it was pretty noisy in the restaurant. I felt they could have had fewer tables. It seemed like they were trying to pack everyone in like sardines. A higher end restaurant like Morton's shouldn't have tables as close as they were, I would expect that at a Chili's. The experience was good though and because I know the food is consistently good I will be coming back in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rock Star MenuWouldRatherNotCookDined on 8/13/2014If you want to eat like a celebrity, go to Morton's Steakhouse in Atlanta! The service is superb and the food is OUTSTANDING! I started with the Ahi Tuna Tower with yummy won tons and was not at all disappointed. Then I had the most scrumptious crab stuffed jumbo shrimp with a savory angel hair pasta for my entree. When they say jumbo, they mean jumbo, PLUMP shrimp! The whole meal was lick your fingers good. I highly recommend this place. Will visit again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but premium pricesI812Dined on 8/12/2014The truth is Morton's is for the wealthy and not the everyday man, unless he is willing to pay the piper on a special occasion. When a person pays $9 for a soda (one refill), you know you are in a place unapologetic to setting its prices (i.e. if you think about price, Morton's is not for you.) However, my filet was good and we had great service. The desserts were delicious. The interior style attempts to be mid-20th century classic, but leaves you wondering if this is really cool any longer. I am sure to those under 50 years of age, the answer is no. In the end, five of us went to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday and it will be a good memory.Special Features:
- Should Have Been BetterDecaturrocksDined on 8/12/2014The dining room was very loud and the tables were pretty crowded in together. The food was delicious, but for the price one would expect a higher level of service, too. Our waiter was pushy and surly and kept trying to tell us what to order. He never smiled. The manager never came by to ask how everything was, which one would normally expect in a high-end restaurant.Special Features:
- Not my best experienceawesomebirthdaylunchDined on 8/11/2014I've always loved going to Morton's and countdown time between visits. However, this past visit was less than pleasant. From the get go, the waiter was rude and inattentive. I've never had service like this anywhere, let alone Morton's. After we told him we came for restaurant week he lost all interest in us as customers and did not check on us once. He took so long we even missed the movie we had planned to go see after dinner (we were seated at 6 and our movie began at 7:30 pm). He went as far as insulting my boyfriend for not knowing how he wanted his meat cooked! It was rude and completely unprofessional. I'm so disappointed and I will not be returning to the branch in Downtown Atlanta anytime soon.Special Features:
- Known for steak --stick to itOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/10/2014Went there for Downtown restaurant week. My wife's filet was excellent. I was sorry I ventured to the pork chop. Appetizer, house salad, and sides were not items we would order again if we return. Desserts were good -- nothing remarkable, but much better than the rest.
- Atlanta Restaurant WeekSeafoodandWineDined on 8/10/2014We choose to go to Morton's because they were participating in Atlanta's restaurant week. We ordered from the pre fixe menu and also ordered from the regular menu. The crab cake appetizer was really good and really overpriced at almost $20. The lettuce for the house salad was a bit wilted and actually tasted more like a ceasar salad. The drinks from the bar were way overpriced at $15 and were not good at all. But let's move on to the positives. The food, except the salad, was amazing. I had the stuffed jumbo shrimp and my wife had the salmon. The side dishes were really good as well. Even the bread was good. Service was great. And valet parking is always a plus (although it was $5 and not complimentary). Great date night place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful FOOD & SERVICEJazzDined on 8/9/2014We heard nothing but GREAT reviews about Morton's and I must say they the Filet was Superb. One of the best wine list in town. Morton's is now on my TOP 10 list of places to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent diningGeminiDined on 8/9/2014Our experience with Morton steakhouse was a memorable occasion. Celebrated husband and brothers law birthday last weekend which just happen to be resturant weekSpecial Features:
- It was just okay...TheMrsDined on 8/9/2014Went for Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week, but I checked out their regular menu as well as the one for restaurant week. Their prices are too high for their food to be so subpar! Smh...I was expecting much more, but they did not deliver. Definitely not somewhere I will go back to if I had to pay regular price. The Filet was cooked well but lacked flavor. Sauteed broccoli needed some flavor and I just was not impressed overall.

- Always a great experienceFoodieDanDined on 7/26/2014My wife and I came here for her birthday since the Gran Marnier Souffle is her favorite dish. Excellent food, very romantic night out without our child. Only complaint (if anything) was that the waiter must have been new as he seemed to have to check up on certain items in dishes. Not a problem though and we definitely will return.Special Features:
- highlyblessedDined on 7/26/2014I surprised my husband for his 45th Birthday. We were joined by 12 of our friends who are still talking about the great food and outstanding service we received from our waiters. The restaurant opened at 5pm and our guests were allowed to go ahead and be seated a little early since it was a surprise and I wanted to make sure we did not run into anyone and blow everything. There were no disappointments at all. We were treated like royalty. Morton's is a $$$$ restaurant, but every now and then, why not spoil yourself and someone special. I don't work just to pay bills. I reward myself because I work hard and deserve it. I am blessed and don't mind spending a little extra for my special one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 35th Birthday Dinner Gone WrongOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014I will never visit this restaurant again or recommend it to anyone. The waiter was rude. Some of the food the cook sent out was burnt. And it took 15-20 minutes for people from my party to get change back from the waiter. The prices were way too high for the food that was served to my party. The drinks were expensive also $14 martinis. I have to say the only thing that was great were my crab cakes and my martini. My dinner party was very dissatisfying and some of my guest didn't even order after the mess that was going on with everyone else's food. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENTSpecial Features:

Hi Kelly,
I really like the combination of flavor that you used in your Tilapia Packet. It looks delicious. Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday!
See you soon,
Miz Helen
Do you have to thaw the packet? Has anyone tried baking it from a frozen state?
This may be a dumb question, but if you intend on freezing these for later, would you freeze it with raw fish? Or do you cook the fish and then heat it again later?

By CHRIS TOMLINSON
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Texas state budget will lose $334 million due to the budget battle in Washington, mostly in cuts to public education programs.
Budget experts told Texas lawmakers on Monday that the Texas Education Agency alone would lose $167.7 million in grants.
More than 285 schools will lose federal funding on July 1. Schools will also lose funding for special education and classes to teach English as a second language. Nutrition programs, early child intervention and family protective services will also see major reductions in funding.
The Texas budget receives $34 billion from Washington every year and the law instituting automatic budget cuts is expected to take effect on Friday.
Lawmakers complained that while the state will lose federal money, the federal regulations to receive that funding will remain in place.

First Pinellas county educators and now Hillsborough county teachers are spending part of their weekend in the classroom learning about gun safety and getting their concealed weapons permit.
For this weekend's class more than 100 people pre-registered and eighty-six turned out for the for hour class taught by International Executive Protection owner Lenny Bogdanos.
Bogdanos explains how he started teaching this very popular course.
"I started out with a few of my friends in the Pinellas County School system and it went viral and we literally had over 200 teachers sign up"
The cost of the class is normally about $75 but Bogdanos has been offering the class to teachers with a valid school identification free of charge.
"We are doing everything the state needs us to do to comply with their rules and regulations so the teachers can get a cancelled weapons permit."
The recent mass shootings from Connecticut to Colorado are what some teachers say motivated them to take the course.
Carlos Dixon has been teaching for eight years but this is his first year at Strawberry Crest High School. He says the shooting have been on his mind.
"I don't walk around on the school campus daily thinking that something is going to happen like what happened up in Connecticut and over in Colorado years ago. But I would rather be prepared than not prepared in case something happens like that."
The classes are open to the public but teachers are the priority and Instructor Bogdanos says it's his company's way to "extend a special thanks to teachers for their hard work and dedication."

Dust in the Wind? (Eagle Claw Oklahoma project is government-dependent, iffy)
[Editor note: Mike Riley, editor of Fabricating & Metalworking magazine (bio at end), took a neutral look at a new major manufacturing project and offers his opinions here.]
The total government subsidy given to industrial windpower rivals the price of natural gas paid by power generators– yet wind still cannot compete without mandates. With our nation being challenged to reduce its debt and shrink the federal budget, realistic business economics is confounding the hype about this once darling of renewable energy.
New Wind Plant for Port of Muskogee?
Muskogee is an economic center in eastern Oklahoma that country singer Merle Haggard commemorated in the old country song "Okie from Muskogee," a hit back in 1969. Now the city is better known for operating the Port of Muskogee that is located at the edge of North America's wind corridor. This strip of land is often referred to as the "Saudi Arabia of Wind" and is one of the primary reasons why Eagle Claw Fabrication LLC chose the Port in June 2010 to build a 150,000 sq ft facility on 47 acres that will manufacture 220 to 250 wind turbines per year.
Targeting the $2 billion domestic wind farm market, Tom Word, the founder of Eagle Claw, told the daily newspaper Tulsa World that he decided on Muskogee because of its access to international inbound and outbound barge traffic through the Port, the railcar marshaling yard at the Port that connects to the Union Pacific Railroad, and interstate roads heading to wind farm sites.
That's not all. Eagle Claw will have access to markets not otherwise accessible from an inland location. "This provides us with unique and substantive competitive advantages over other turbine tower manufacturers. We can greatly reduce the cost of transporting our product to the point of usage, including towers to be built in the Gulf of Mexico. These are substantial transportation cost savings that can be passed along to our clients," explained Word.
$28 Million Project Delayed
The $28 million facility represents the first stage of an overall project planned for over 100 acres on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. "Phase Two, which should begin after the first year of operation, will double the size of the new plant. Then Phase 3, which will follow after another year of operation, will increase it to a total of 450,000 sq ft," noted Word.
Phase One of the new Eagle Claw Fabrication Wind Tower Division complex will create approximately 175 jobs and was originally scheduled to begin operations as early as this spring. According to the Indian Capital Technology Center, which will coordinate a training program for Eagle Claw employees, plate operators will draw wages up to $23 per hour. There will also be openings for plate cutters, welders, fitters, painters, blasting equipment operators, and material handlers.
The new fabrication facility will utilize a "Straight-Thru-Flo" lean shop layout and use cutting edge equipment and technology. According to Word, Eagle Claw expects to devote 100 percent of its capacity to wind turbine tower construction, selling to wind turbine system manufacturers and engineering, procurement and construction firms. The plant will also have capabilities to fabricate offshore wind towers and numerous other heavy tubular structures for geothermal, tidal, solar, hydrokinetics, biomass and carbon capture industries.
All of this big news about these grand plans from a start-up fabricator in a green industry is exciting, except for one thing: Big Wind is unable to make it in the marketplace. [Read more →]

It's time for all green thumbs to hedge the bushes and mow the lawn. But if you want to keep your thumbs, you need to follow these Safety Solutions.
Before turning on the lawn mower, read the owner's manual and learn the controls well enough to act instantly in case of an emergency.
If it's a gas powered mower, fill the tank outdoors. John Drengenberg, Manager of Consumer Affairs for Underwriters Lab Inc. explains why, "Gasoline presents a common household fire hazard and can be very dangerous. It's important to store gasoline only in a container that has an Underwriters Lab Inc. safety mark." Each year 18 billion products undergo rigorous safety testing at the Underwriters Lab Inc. to get that safety mark.
When mowing, make sure you wear shoes with sturdy soles. Never work barefoot or in sandals. If you hit a foreign object while mowing, turn the mower off and disconnect the cord before inspecting for damage.
When using powered garden tools, check for any frayed wires or other damage before using. Drengenberg says, "First make sure any tool you're using is switched off. Make sure it's plugged into a ground fault circuit type interrupter outlet and work away from the outlet with your tool so the cord doesn't interfere with your work."
Finally, always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes while working in the yard. This will prevent sharp objects like rocks and sticks from ricocheting into your eyes.
Safety Solutions for those weekend yard warriors. For more tips, ( click here ).

WINTERSVILLE - An area resident is hoping to develop a regional merchandise distribution center to serve the underprivileged in Jefferson, Hancock and Brooke counties.
Rich Delucca said he and a partner took over the Wheeling Project Sharing operation, serving Ohio, Marshall and Belmont counties, last November and now is ready to "bring another branch to Jefferson County."
But Delucca said he needs help in making it happen, noting that if they are successful, "we expect to attract and serve another 20-30 qualified agencies" serving those in need.
"I took it on privately to create a nonprofit organization to continue this," he said, adding that whether he can get it from drawing board to reality "depends on whether we get sponsors."
Project Sharing charters regional distribution centers, allowing agencies serving those in need access to merchandise ranging from food, beverages and clothing to home goods and building supplies, toys, recreational items, office supplies and personal care items.
To be chartered, applicants must qualify as a nonprofit agency, agree to distribute merchandise only to agencies - not individuals - that serve a specific population; agree to police those agencies to ensure the merchandise is not sold or traded; and choose recipient agencies, warehouses, off-loading, inventory control and distribution.
In a presentation to the Progress Alliance Partners Tuesday, Delucca said they'd retooled Wheeling's Project Sharing operation to ensure participating agencies are handling the merchandise appropriately.
"Prior to this transition, the operation and outreach was weak and understaffed," he wrote in a brief presentation distributed to members. "Since the majority of the work that is involved can be extremely labor-intensive, involving strong backs at a minimum, the number of volunteers available was inadequate to serve the project. The result was minimal shipments of merchandise and too few and sporadic distributions. In addition, the management of the eligible agencies receiving the merchandise was weak and as a result, way too many agencies supporting efforts outside the criteria were allowed to receive merchandise - some for resale as fundraising activities."
Since taking over the Wheeling operation, Delucca said they've orchestrated five shipments of merchandise with a total inventory value estimated to be around $55,000 to $60,000 and reached out to more than 40 eligible agencies with six distributions in eight months. Those 40 eligible agencies serve a total population of 23,000 individuals who meet the criteria.
Delucca said they're currently funding the project privately, adding that in order to continue even at a single site, "we will need to take on partners or sponsors and/or apply for some sort of grant funding." He figures they need roughly $22,000 to $24,000 per year to fund the two sites and said he hopes to be properly positioned "by the end of 2012 at the latest."
