#3173938 Tamagotchi L.I.F.E, New from Bandai

#3144438 TamaTalk's logo: Which do you like better?
Posted by TamaMum on 11 February 2012 - 07:38 AM
oh nononononono... dont change it..
tbh, ill probably quit by then.
youve changed a bit too much for my liking.
That's a real shame. It sounds like you are saying you would quit TamaTalk because the design of the logo changed and because we upgraded the site's software (the original software we ran was ancient and VERY vulnerable to being hacked because it wasn't being updated for security). O-o
I know it can be hard to adjust to changes especially when you liked the site exactly the way it was before, but try to think about all the members you've met and got to know, the different info you find useful here - not just about tamas - and the help / friendship you yourself bring to TamaTalk when you visit. Don't forget that others will probably miss you if you quit! Seems such a shame to threaten to quit over a logo design...

#3169239 Tamagotchi L.I.F.E, New from Bandai
Posted by graficks on 14 June 2012 - 11:11 AM
I won't because I am not in the least surprised that Bandai took this approach with their North American branch of Tamagotchi. After poor sales, lack of interest and advancing technology, it was time for a complete product refresh. (whether we like it or not) I'm not trying to justify their new approach, but given the tech-hungry consumer industry here in North America, I believe a colour screen, feature rich Tamagotchi priced at $60-80 would have done poorly regardless. The toy industry is so radically different here than it is in Japan. In fact, more folks are interested in playing $0.99 cent apps rather than investing larger amounts of $$$ in a quality toy that provides unique gameplay. The toy industry is changing rapidly and I think Bandai found themselves at a crossroads with this brand. "Are North Americans going to eat up another release of a Tamagotchi (let's be honest, the brand was becoming exhausted after the Music Star and TamaGo) or should we approach this differently?"
I don't know who or how Bandai gathered their market research to initiate a re-brand of Tamagotchi in this direction, but it makes sense to me. No, I'm not happy with the direction they're taking, but from a business licensing perspective they need to reinvent themselves to keep current. 20-29 year old females are BIG MONEY spenders. Can they tap in on that audience? I'm not sure. Most companies just "follow the money". Business will be business. (not that I agree with this model or anything)
With all of this speculation aside, I still love Tamagotchi. I love my vintages, my Connection series and my ID L's. I love every one of these little plastic eggs just the same (OK, maybe my white ID L just a little more than the others). And while I'm disappointed that I won't see a new North American release any time soon, I'm going to cherish what I have - because I'm not going to waste my precious time hating on Bandai for making to what I perceive as a mistake. They can go ahead and make girly clothing and bath soap. I'm still going to play and collect my Tamagotchis with the same fuzzy-feeling-excitement I had before this release was made public.
Whatever comes next for the Tamagotchi brand may or may not be great. But what we've got here and now are amazing communities full of life, support and great friends. We don't need a corporation to keep our spirits alive - we do it ourselves!

#3124574 you know you're obsessed when...
Posted by PoesRaven on 20 November 2011 - 04:29 AM
kiss them good night
sit them around you when you watch your shows
gain the nickname tama mama [or dada for the men ]
talk tamas with your family and show off that cute character you got
their beeps are sometimes more effective than your alarm clock and could probably wake you from a coma
hold contests with your tamas, the ones that win get a special spot on your person when you go on trips [so they can see the world the rest stay in your pocket]
you keep them in your hoodie pocket when it is cold out so they are warm
name them after characters from your favorite shows or characters you have created
save up for tamagotchis all the time and get them in the order of your most wanted, going into in depth research, to decide which ones they will be [getting them all eventually of course]
the most effective way to get you to talk is by taking your tamagotchi away from you
if you take a nap you set your tamagotchis next to your pillow in case they beep for you
in case you don't notice... I am guilty of all... I am a sad excuse for an adult v_v

#3286507 Tamagotchi Covers Save Lives! (Tamagotchi lives)
Posted by GotchiGuardian on 25 July 2014 - 09:31 AM
Okay so you all probably know that I purchased my second ID L at the weekend.
You should know.
You might know.
You... Could know?
Okay you know what. let's start again.
Hey everyone! I purchased my second iD L at the weekend! Used, amazing price, from the UK, and the best part is - IT CAME WITHIN TWO DAYS.
To whoever sold it to me (they're proooobably on TamaTalk) thanks so much for an awesome deal and fast shipping.
More to the point.
When I got my white iD L last year, the first thing I did was crochet a cover for it.
I couldn't do crochet, since the translated garbage books we had lying around the house just didn't make sense and frustrated me.
So I totally made up my own crochet.
I ended up with a knotted
mess masterpiece with no gaps or holes anywhere.
It actually looked pretty cool. I did it in fluffy purple yarn (since I always wanted a purple iD L and thought a purple cover was the next best thing) and it fitted quite nicely to my new tamagotchi.
Little did I know that this simple woolen cover would save my tama's life.
I have this simply darling little baby brother who's one year old. He's becoming incredibly naughty and likes to toddle into my room and mess with my stuff. Last week he trundled to me, his cheeks stuffed with sweets, and in his hands a sweet packet which I'm sure I kept out of reach of children. It took me a great deal of chasing him round the house and trying to bribe him with something else before I got my soggy sweets back
But anyway.
The other day he decided to mess with my iD Ls.
I had put my purple cover on my purple iD L. It looked quite fetching! I left it on the piano that's next to my bed. Then I shut my bedroom door and went to research something on ye olde laptope.
What I was actually "researching" was inspiration for my new blank canvas I was working on.
I have a tiny room, you see, and it's barely big enough to fit a bed in it. It used to be my house's music room, hence the reason I keep bashing my feet up against the piano every time I get out of bed in the morning.
So I had my paints and canvas on my bed. I had an array of acrylics and a palette of water there too, much to Mom's justified annoyance.
So I looked up from my inspiration to behold my little brother beaming ear to ear, and walking towards me with a "I HAVE YOUR TAMAGOTCHIS, WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT???" look on his face.
Babies and tamas don't match. I can tell you that.
WATER and tamagotchis don't match. I. Can. Tell. You. That.
So I grabbed my iD Ls from his chubby little hands and suddenly realised
that my purple iD L
the one from my dreams
was soaked
I literally did scream. I whipped the cover from my iD L and dared to look at it again.
The cover was completely soaked.
The back of the iD L was completely dry.
My cover
had just
my dream iD Ls
My lack of crocheting skills had just actually come in handy! Just when I had actually learned to crochet properly!
I turned the tamagotchi over in my hand and looked at the screen.
My fruit-itchi salad bowl guy grinned at me reassuringly.
But in front of him
a whole layer of H20.
Water was seeping into the tamagotchi from the one place I hadn't covered. The screen.
This discovery resulted in another scream.
When I say scream.....
I rushed into our schoolroom and thrust my tamagotchis on the table.
Then I whipped off the back battery cover and tried to take out the batteries. If ever they leaked or got soaked I was in biiiig trouble.
I was racing against the clock now. How long would it take for the water to seep through to the circuit board? I didn't want to think about it.
I look one last look at my fruit guy and pulled the batteries out with one final lever. I'm sure he'd be willing to give up his life and short iD L progress if it meant his future generation were saved.
After that I rushed back online and searched the forums on TamaTalk.
iD Ls. Taking them apart. It had to have been done before.
No results.
In anguish I rephrased my keywords.
Thank goodness for binary. WE LOVE YOU BINARY OKAY
He had taken apart an iD L before. Pfft, of course he had! Debugged it too by the looks of it. Whoa.
Through his pictures/reassurance, I carefully unscrewed and prised open my beloved tama.
This is for your own good, I thought as the circuit board began to come into view.
The cement/putty/thingy that holds the wires in place had me scared at one point. I thought it might be vital to the whole thing and one nudge would break my whole system.
I was that paranoid.
Funny, I'd taken apart like millions hyperbole duh of connection tamagotchis before, but taking apart this one was like taking apart my first. Really scary.
The back was kinda easy to take off. Schwiiing, I was careful not to separate it too much from the circuit board.
After the circuit board came away, whew, I can still hear my sigh of relief. In my paranoid brain I was expecting some complicated colour screen thing, but no, just the familiar black screen came into view.
And then... The front!
And the water. Eek!
The time I had spent Tamatalking was precious. The water looked as if it'd kinda soaked the actual screen. But I pushed aside my panic and ran to get some cotton wool.
The cotton wool... Failed.
In my paranoid panic I had forgotten the first rule about cleaning electronics: neverrr use... Um what's the word... Things... Like tissue.... That shed... Things... Fibres... Yep, never use them.
So as I started working away at this damp screen, I noticed that some cotton fibres were sticking to the screen.
And I had a little panic because like
Omigosh that's the word! Lint. Lint. Is it? Tissue and cottonwool contain lint? I don't know. Anyway.
I had on a lint-free shirt at the time, so after desperately scraping cotton off the sticky edge of the screen with my screwdriver, I used my shirt to dust off the lint.
Then, I balanced the buttons on the shell and squeezed the tamagotchi circuit board to the shell.
Had I fixed it? Was my tama water-damaged forever? Only time would give the answers I searched for, so I resolved to waste as little as possible.
Putting the tamagotchi back together proved rather difficult.
It got stuck. I screwed back the circuit board and found that the sound/battery wires bulged out of the sides when I tried to press the back together.
Crisis! Should I shove the wires back in, or… Wait?
Yeah, like I'm going to wait 6 hours till my technical Dad comes home when my tamagotchi's destiny is on the line. Pfft.
As carefully as I could I placed the wired back into the shell. The plastic still wouldn't come together all that flatly, but after some screwing (and trial and error) I had my tamagotchi reassembled and ready for testing.
With trembling hands (mm I may be exaggerating just a tiny bit) I put the batteries back into their compartments.
THE SOUND WAS ON! That was a start! I hadn't damaged the wires by
shoving laying them down in the shell! Good sign!
Slowly I rotated the tamagotchi, where the screen had sprung back to life and the two "Download/Reset" buttons appeared.
I selected "download".......
And who should appear but the smiling face of Mr Fruitysaladchi!
I couldn't believe it
And I still can't describe the utter relief I felt.
Can you imagine if I hadn't have "crocheted" that cover for my white iD L? The water would have gone straight into the battery compartment, probably straight into the circuit board, and cleaning the screen with a scrappy lint cotton wool ball certainly wouldn't cure it of its ailment.
I just.
What a trauma.
I hope you actually enjoyed reading this little anecdote of my life, and that you come to know that
Tamagotchi Covers Save Lives! Make them, sell them, buy them - just do whatever it takes to protect your tamagotchis!
Oh yes, and make sure you keep out of reach of children and pets and... People.
(I actually deserve some sort of medal. Like, I think I'm gonna be putting on my signature something like "I TOOK APART AN ID L, I CAN TAKE APART ANYTHING!". I mean honestly, if you're one of those people who question everything, don't be… Offended. I'm not exactly going to take apart a Macbook Air Pro or whatever the latest gadget is these days, but the iD L is close enough for me).

#3262444 COMMENTS OK or NO COMMENTS
Posted by Admin on 07 February 2014 - 12:15 PM
All topics in the new TamaTalk Logs forum will be clearly marked:
NO COMMENTS or COMMENTS OK
If a member's log shows NO COMMENTS it means "do not post in my personal log" - please respect their request.
- We don't want to see "I know it says NO COMMENTS, but I just had to ask you this,... etc."
- If you have a question or comment, use the PM system to send them a message.
If a member's log shows COMMENTS OK it means "you can post comments / ask questions in my personal log", however, please do not:
- post rude or argumentative replies in another member's log - respect TamaTalk site rules and keep comments friendly, respectful and positive towards everyone
- ask questions that could be more easily (and more usefully) be posted in What Happened To My Tamagotchi or Help for New Tamagotchi Owners forums
- post comments so often that the personal log becomes a discussion topic or chat room where there are more posts made by others than the member who is running the log
- spam a member's log with emoticons or one word comments like "Cool! " / "Interesting!" - we have the "Like" button for those kinds of responses - please use it
If you are running a log with the COMMENTS OK tag please remember that naming and shaming or attention seeking behaviour is against TamaTalk site rules.
We don't want to see:
- "Everyone must hate my log, no one ever posts comments" or "Please tell me what you think! I'll only post more if people like it!"
- "Post questions here about this version" - We have the TamaTalk Help forums for those kinds of questions
- "Come to me for questions/answers" - TamaTalk Help forums!
As always, if you are having problems with unwanted comments in your log topic, do not start arguing or flaming.
You can report any post by clicking the small yellow REPORT button in each reply box and one of the TamaGuides will deal with the report.
If (after a trial period) you change your mind and want to switch from COMMENTS OK back to NO COMMENTS (or vice versa) please use the REPORT button and the TamaGuides will deal with the report (this is not an invitation to change your mind on a random basis and ask to switch back and forth)

#3270382 New Release: Tamagotchi 4U (Sep. 27th)
Posted by Carol_tama on 03 April 2014 - 12:42 PM
I was just watching the first episode of the new anime, and this drew my attention:
1. It doesn't look like any existing Tamagotchi.
2. Why would they put a picture of a non-existing Tamagotchi in the anime, unless they were planning to release it?
3. Look at the bottom of the shell. Looks like they're going to allow us customize the front side of the shell, like in TamaGOs.

#3201317 Tamagotchi L.I.F.E, New from Bandai
Posted by ichiro.malfoy on 04 December 2012 - 09:28 AM
Guys just seriously trust me on this, if super important, you have to be more supportive! If we dont, who knows what will happen!
I hate to be rude, but I don't think you should be forcing your own opinions with the rest of the people who thinks otherwise.
As part of the non-L.i.f.e. crowd, I will tell you that we support Bandai in a way that we criticize its actions which we think does not cater to us fans. If we didn't support Bandai in the first place, why should we care? Why were we in this forum? What are we doing here, right? If we never really cared, we'll just let them do all the things they want, be it good or crappy and not waste time discussing things about it. But supporting does not only mean giving positive feedback, but giving negative feedback as well. This kind of information gives Bandai crucial information about what their customers REALLY want.
Yes, we get your point in supporting Bandai - and no one is forcing to you withdraw it. We respect and value your response. You should behave likewise. We are all entitled to our own opinions.
If Bandai America really does do something that interests us in the near future, I don't see any reason why we should not support it. After all, we're all here for that very reason.

#3281077 Happy Birthday TamaTalk!
Posted by Admin on 13 June 2014 - 01:45 PM
This weekend is pretty special... This Sunday, June 15, our little community here will celebrate its 10th birthday! TEN!!! YEARS!!! I still can't believe it myself. This place was started for fun in 2004. I had no idea it would still be alive and well ten years later. Things have changed a lot in ten years... Much like the various tamas that have come and gone in the past ten years, this community has grown and changed quite a bit... We are at over 92,000 members registered and well over 1,600,000 posts as of today... That's crazy to think about!
I really want to extend my thanks to every on of our members (past and present) for helping to make this place what it is today. Thank you... From the bottom of my heart... Thank you!
Now... Let's party!

Posted by -Ra- on 10 October 2013 - 01:16 AM
They also get so surprised that Tamagotchis are still around, and in full color now. I think like with anything else in life, it's your attitude which will affect the reaction. If you are ashamed of your collection and make it obvious that you are, you're most likely gonna get a negative reaction. However, if instead you display your passion and pride in your hobby and collection, people get excited with you. It's all about your own outlook I think.

There's a point where enough is just enough. I realise I don't even care anymore. This thing seems to exist only to torment me, and over these last few days it's done a bloody good job of that. But enough is enough, if this thing thinks I'm going to go quitely, it's dead wrong. I raise my pistol once more and fire at that dark form again. This time, I don't stop, not until I've fired every bullet I have. Eight shots, nothing that size could survive this. But I know that it won't have done anything. I was wrong, it did do something, it made it worse. A lord and obnoxious voice fills my head. "THAT WAS A MISTAKE, ALIX". I scream as it lunges foward, showing its true face. I open my mouth in horror and disgust as I stare at it. It smiles. Suddenly, everything is . I scream, but the doesn't stop. is everywhere. I try to claw my own eyes out, but I now realise nothing can possibly stop . My own body begins to tear itself apart. My physical form dissolves under the gaze of .
My soul is torn from my body, and as it dies I enter a room. Completely nondescript. At first I think this is hell, but I quickly realise that this is something even worse, trapped deep within us all. I am alone, and as I look around I can only see one thing.
If you couldn't guess this is meant as a parody of some creepypastas. I know there are a few people who will jump on the "omg hes trollllllllllin" train but I'm aware of what trolling is and this isn't it sory buddy. It's meant to be amusing by being disturbingly bad, kbro?

#3173800 Hey Tamatalk. We need to discuss something.
Posted by mew0099 on 05 July 2012 - 08:08 PM
so basically we've all kind of seen the people here -
there are the
- tama fans ( you guys who stay within the tama forum areas, log about your tamas, take pictures, status update with "my mametchi just had a baby!" or something similar )
- hetalia fans ( you guys really like hetalia and it's a huge topic in tamachat 45% of the time, you also make quite a large amount of tamatalk user-wise )
- half-halfs ( you guys talk about tamas but travel around the forums more, sometimes logging and role-playing or hanging out in non-tamatalk )
- others ( you guys talk about anything that's not tama-related, usually they're roleplayers or avid writers/drawers, and stop playing with tamas a while ago or never did )
and it seems recently there have been a few fights among the four groups! :c
let me get this straight: we're human. it's not our fault we have freedom to think differently. it's not our fault we have opinions. it's not our fault we like things you don't! ;o
and i'm sorry you guys are upset by this, but.. this is kind of silly!! :0
so loves, i think this down here is the right thing to do, you don't have to follow this exactly, i just think i'd be a good thing to keep in mind.
if you are a tama fan? i'd recommend staying within the tamatalk tamagotchi forum, it's probably the place right for you! but please please pleeeease don't tell us non-tama playing people to pick up a tama and tell us off when we actually have never played a tamagotchi. but if you really are disrupted and want a better place for your log or something, why not head on over to tama-zone for more tama-related stuff? there is a LOT more tama stuff there and i think maybe keep your fun stuff and logs here and post more serious tama-related stuff there. ( I AM NOT FORCING YOU TO, YOU GUYS, I'M JUST RECOMMENDING ITTTTTTT :V )
if you are a hetalia fan? i'm perfectly fine with you guys here and i don`t see anything wrong with hetalia, but it's not really the kind of thing i like. please don't annoy the tama fans too much though, i think they just need a bit of space. there actually isn't as much tama stuff here as you think!
if you are a half-half? i appreciate that you are not extremely obsessed with tamas and you're not telling non-tama playing people to immediately pick up a tama and start playing. but be careful of being to drawn to one side than another; some people you know might not appreciate it (trust me, i've experienced this first-hand)
if you are an other: hey! welcome to my side of tamatalk, haha. usually i just kind of hang out in non-tama areas but sometimes pick up a tama and get obsessed again, haha. i guess you can take from what i do if you want? but you don't have to, don't worry UuU!
so yes! sorry if this is a bit rushed but i needed to do this quick.
(tl;dr) please pleeeeaaase respect everyone else even if they are very different from you and honestly i hope this is all gonna work out okay for everybody c;!!

#3285763 Tamagotchi Contest - Create a Post-Adult Form
Posted by Eternal Mametchi Fan on 18 July 2014 - 08:43 PM
Create your own Tamagotchi 4U Form
To celebrate the announcement of the Tamagotchi 4U, I have made a contest in which you can create your own Post-Adult form!
What is a post-adult form? Click here! (view the gallery to see examples)
How to enter:
- Choose any adult-stage Tamagotchi character. It doesn't matter whether or not they're raisable on the Tamagotchi 4U, and it doesn't matter whether they already have official post-adult forms. The only thing that matters is that they must have been an adult-stage character on at least one Tamagotchi release.
- Design and draw your very own post-adult form for the character you created. It can be digital or traditional, and it has to be colored in.
- In your post, give a name to the post-adult form you have created.
- Also in your post, describe how the post-adult form would be obtained on the Tamagotchi 4U. (e.g. by not feeding them enough, giving them lots of baths, etc)
- Upload your entry to the TamaTalk gallery, TinyPic, or any other image host and post it in this topic!
Other rules:
- You can submit a maximum of two entries. This may give you more of a chance of winning, but you won't be qualified to get two prizes (only one of your entries would be chosen as a winner).
- This competition is open to ALL members of TamaTalk.
- Post your entry/entries in this topic only; please do not PM them to me or anything.
- Don't copy another member's entry; it's okay if yours is coincidentally similar but I'll be able to tell if you've made a deliberate copy
- All TamaTalk rules apply; no swearing, violence, or anything else indecent in your entry.
How long will the competition run for?
The competition starts from today and ends on September 20, 2014. About two months. This is one week before the release of the Tamagotchi 4U, and also gives time for enough members to create and share their entries.
Who will judge the winners, and how?
Me and my friend DJYellow22 will decide on the winners, and we will judge by creativity of the design. Your drawing skills do not matter! As long as you've created a post-adult form with a unique concept, you have a chance of winning.
When will the winners be announced?
They'll be announced on September 23, 2014. This gives three days for winners to be decided.
What are the prizes?
There are three winners.
1st place prize: Lifetime Angelgotchi membership + 1 free art request of any Tamagotchi character
2nd place prize: Normal Angelgotchi membership + 1 free art request of any Tamagotchi character
3rd place prize: 1 free art request of any Tamagotchi character.
I'll pay for the angelgotchi memberships and gift them to you! I have $15USD saved up specifically for Angelgotchi prizes. I vow I will give out the promised prizes to the winners. I sent the $15 to my boyfriend's PayPal so I can't spend it and he promised to keep it for me until the contest is over, and I always buy stuff with a Credit Card anyway. ;3
Have fun, and happy entering!

#3255267 Tamagotchi Friends Log ✿
Posted by Eternal Mametchi Fan on 24 December 2013 - 02:16 AM
Hiii! Hayden wanted me to do a log of the Tamagotchi Friends so I will. In this log I will post updates on what characters I get, as well as other discoveries, opinions, and stuff. So yeah~
There were three eggs - one with spots, one with stripes, and one with a heart. I chose the spotty egg at first but it gave a girl, so I reset and chose the stripy egg. It gave a boy. I know that the heart egg gives girls as well so this is the most likely speculation:
- Spotty Egg - Random Gender
- Stripy Egg - Male
- Heart Egg - Female
The egg hatched into Aokumotchi. For some reason he didn't seem nearly as needy as the baby stages on most other versions. He got sick once and he took a nap during the middle of his baby stage, like on generally all Tamagotchis we are familiar with, and then he evolved into a toddler, Mitsumarutchi. The evolution animation is fancier than on previous versions.
When I was first playing with my Tamagotchi Friends I did notice that the character as well as the poops can blend in with the background. But after a short time, I had gotten used to it, and in a well-lit room the screen looks perfectly fine! (I have no electricity or light power in my room so I have an old lamp with an extension cord leading to a different room of the house). So yeah, the screen may look bad to some people at first but you get used to it!
The battery compartment has a very different design from all other Tamagotchis but it reminds me of the battery compartment in many other toys I've seen. I wish I could take a photo of it but then the batteries be out and so I'd have to reset (or rather, download) but I don't feel like doing that at the moment.
By playing Mimic, I have seen the sprites of the other raisable characters. The adult sprites are huge compared to the other stages but that's pretty good I guess. I have seen Maimaitchi, Cosmotchi, Bokuhoshitchi, Neotchi, Nokobotchi, Puchihanatchi, Painaputchi, Kuchipatchi, Memetchi, Mametchi, Acchitchi, Righttchi, and Coffretchi... maybe a few others but I'm forgetful.
As for the Tamagotchi Friends design itself, it just feels so comfortable in my hand! The buttons are pleasant to press, and the sound is just perfect; not as sharp as the Connection sounds and not as fuzzy as the Tama-Go sounds. The back of the Tamagotchi is heavier than the rest so when you put it down on a desk or something it just goes PLONK! Somehow this Tamagotchi seems heavier than the Tama-Go even though it is obviously smaller. I think it would look better if the shell wasn't like, divided into so many sections. It's fine on the iD L-looking ones since the "sections" are different colors for the design and such but it looks strange on the white leopard design, as well as the pink heart design, but the blue with spots design is ok with this shell structure I think.
I should talk about my actual character. XD He is age 0 and weighs 7lb. I noticed that the bread I gave him made his weight go up by two, and another time, something I bought from the meal shop didn't make his hungry meter go up?! Weird. Anyway I have 3,280 Gotchi Points and I have only bought one jewelry item, the Ring of Love or something like that. I will continue to buy more! Did I mention how much I love the sprites for the character close-ups and many of the jewelry items? Absolutely gorgeous! <3
The characters I have seen at the park so far are Amiamitchi, Hanafuwatchi, and Chochotchi. The characters that appear at the park are unraisable ones, like on the iD L and P's and unlike the Tama-Go.
Random photo time! My first photo was taken when it was kinda dark, and I had the camera flash on. but the other three photos are better because I had the TF next to a lamp and turned the flash off my camera.

Late last year, we posted the video for "You're The One For Me," a song from the Brooklyn duo Great Good Fine Ok that combined Tumblr-R&B intimacy with big-tent indie synthpop. "Not Going Home," the duo's latest track, is the sort of song I can imagine being an anthem for anyone who likes Passion Pit. It's a big, clear, sharp piece of down-the-middle pop songwriting, and you can download it below.

No news yet on a Great Good Fine Ok album yet, but I can promise you that someone is, this very minute, scheming on how to get their songs into a car commercial.

Durham Tees Valley Airport says the recent experience of its unsuccessful bid for funding to support its major Southside development project underlined the need for a 'joined up approach' between Government economic and transport policy.
That is one of the messages in the Airport's contribution to the consultation over the Government's Draft Aviation Policy Framework. It also calls for a reduction in the tax and regulation burdens on smaller regional airports and says that Local Enterprise Partnerships should be given the resources to play a lead role in aviation policy.
Explains Peter Nears, Strategic Planning Director for the Peel Group "The Government draft policy talks of the importance of regional airports to connectivity and the growth of local economies. However, if this is to be more than warm words, it needs specific action to move away from the current situation where airport policy debate is dominated by the issue of capacity in the South East.
"The economic problems of recent years have had a disproportionate impact on smaller regional airports, especially those located in areas of high deprivation such as the Tees Valley. Yet regulation costs and taxation do not take account of either airport size or local economic circumstances and that is clearly inequitable.
"We also believe that the Government must reconsider the need for a lower regional rate for Airport Passenger Duty, given the widening in economic performance between South and North and the financial pressures on smaller regional airports.
"We already work closely with our Local Enterprise Partnership, Tees Valley Unlimited, and the Government's draft policy mentions the possibility of LEPs taking a wider role. However, if that is to happen, they must have the resources to do the job.
"What is crucial is that Government recognises that aviation policy cannot be considered in isolation—it must be co-ordinated with national economic objectives, in particular the disparity between North and South and the need to balance the economy in favour of manufacturing.
"Here in the Tees Valley, our industries contribute over £10 billion to the UK economy—in the last 12 months alone, the private sector has generated an additional 6,500 jobs and over 30 per cent of the UK process industries are located here.
"That should be important to the Government in co-ordinating transport and economic policies. The Policy Framework refers to a Taskforce for South East airports, yet there is nothing equivalent for regional airports in the North.
"We have real and recent experience of the need for a joined up approach following our failed bid to the Regional Growth Fund and we believe it is an issue which has to be tackled if the Government is to develop a genuinely national policy for aviation."

I was wondering if you could help me find the statistics on the number of homeless in worcester MA. If there are statistics regarding homelessness along with substance abuse and mental illness also that would be even better. Thank you very much for any and all help.

I suggest that you contact the City of Worcestor, and ask about the annual point-in-time count of people experiencing homelessness.

If you know what I need to do to move to a differant area could you please let me know .Thanking you in advance
Dear Pamela,
we are doing a project on Homelessness in Massachusetts – where can I get updated statistics regarding mentioned?
I'm new to this blog and the "world" of social services for the homeless… is it possible to post a page on this site that unlocks all the acronyms that are used in your posts. I'm sure most people know what they are but not everyone would. It would be helpful if I could at least be able to look them up. Thanks.
I have become homeless due to the trauma of the tornado in Monson, MA. I have had temporary housing in Palmer, and now in Monson. I need halp with moving my belongings. What resources are available to help with the mov3e, or help pay expenses for a move.
Please contact the United Way of Pioneer Valley to find out about resources. Dial 211 and you will get connected! Best of luck.

As usual with his projects, most details on The Woods -- about an 1897 Pennsylvania town ''that lives with the knowledge that there are creatures in the woods around them'' -- are top secret. So much so that Disney production chief Nina Jacobson keeps the studio's only copy of the script locked away in her office. We do know that the film stars Adrien Brody, Sigourney Weaver, Joaquin Phoenix, William Hurt, and Bryce Dallas Howard (daughter of Ron), and begins shooting Oct. 14. Shyamalan also reveals that it has a ''Blair Witch-y quality'' and features a ''romance as the spine of the piece.'' That's sure to cause a whole new kind of tingling.

Man charged with murder in Selma shooting
SELMA, Ala. (AP) — Selma police say a 19-year-old man has been arrested in a fatal shooting outside of a nightclub over the weekend.
Lt. Curtis Muhannad told the Selma Times-Journal (http://bit.ly/16FOA5j) that an argument at a club on Idaho Street escalated to gunfire early Sunday morning. Police say witnesses told them the victim, whose identity has not been released, was involved in a fight with a group of people shortly before the shooting.
Officials say the victim approached a car belonging to a relative of the group of people he had fought with moments earlier. Police say Oscar Blevins, who was inside of the car, fired four shots at the man.
Police say Blevins surrendered at the Dallas County Jail and has been charged with murder. It's unclear if he has an attorney.

How prison time is decided
Teachers convicted of sex crimes against students have been sentenced to a wide range of time behind bars – anywhere from a few months to life, or perhaps no time at all.
Prosecutors say a number of factors come into play, including:
General sentencing guidelines for sex crimes:
Victims under 14: Mandatory prison time for sexually invasive crimes; up to life in prison if multiple victims or if prior convictions. For physically non-invasive crimes, court may give jail time and/or probation.
Victims 14-15: Perpetrator must be at least 10 years older than victim to be charged with felony, unless force was used or victim under fear or duress. Court given wide discretion on sentencing; prison not mandatory, unless force, fear or duress.
Victims 16-17: Perpetrator must be at least three years older than victim to be charged with felony, unless force used or victim under fear or duress. Court given wide discretion; prison not mandatory, unless force, fear or duress.
Garden Grove elementary teacher Christopher Micah Brazelton, 40, was sentenced to eight years in prison for rubbing a girl's thighs and crotch area as he sat next to her in his classroom, and for grabbing a girl's buttocks in a store.
Santa Ana high school teacher Naomi Perez, 34, received a 150-day sentence for carrying on a three-month sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male student – and then vandalizing his car after the relationship ended.
La Habra middle school teacher Hugh Scott Wilson, 53, got a five-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting two male students in his classroom who had come to him for one-on-one help with assignments.
These are three of 97 educators from Orange County who either lost teaching credentials or were blocked from getting them over the past five years for crimes against students, as well as for a bevy of non-school-related crimes and other improper conduct deemed unbefitting an educator.
In the most egregious instances, the defendant committed a sex crime against a student, violating the trust that children and their parents place in educators to maintain a safe, nurturing learning atmosphere.
But in other, less publicized cases, teachers lost their licenses for non-school-related conduct, including lewd acts in public, drunk driving, embezzlement and attempted murder.
The Orange County Register has created a searchable database of these educators dating back to 2007, in what is believed to be a first-of-its-kind presentation of how the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing handles teacher misconduct cases.
Click here to review more than 4,000 case actions by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, from 2007 though March 2012.
The agency isn't on the front lines – that's the role played by law enforcement and school districts. But its role is critical in preventing those who cross moral and legal lines from ever again harming children in schools.
"We are uniquely placed to take action so that people who have engaged in serious misconduct do not go into a classroom in a different area," said Nanette Rufo of the credentialing commission's Division of Professional Practices, which handles misconduct cases.
California has about 300,000 active educators holding credentials. Discipline issues involve a tiny fraction of them, with the CTC reviewing about 5,000 cases a year, and taking action on about 800.
The Register's database includes more than 3,500 California educators whose cases were reviewed by the commission since January 2007, many of whom faced discipline measures ranging from private admonishment or probation to credential suspension or revocation. From 2007 through 2011, 1,475 individuals either were blocked from receiving credentials or lost them after commission review – 855 of them for being convicted of certain sex crimes or drug abuse involving minors.
Some 368 educators had their credentials suspended after being formally charged with crimes.
Teachers who commit sex crimes against students represent some of the worst offenders on the state teacher credentialing list.
"I've seen hundreds of cases, and they affect all sorts of families – rich, poor, divorced, straight-A students, you name it," attorney David Ring said. "It's all about the perpetrator finding his victim."

The Light and How to Swing It: The return of the shockadin
Every week, WoW Insider brings you The Light and How to Swing It for holy, protection and retribution paladins. Every Sunday, Chase Christian invites you to discuss the finer side of the paladin class: the holy specialization. Feel free to email me with any questions you want answered, like how Holy Shock can change your life..
I still remember my very first character. After logging in on the first day WoW was released, I chose a paladin at the character select screen, hoping to embody the role of "holy crusader." I started leveling up my character, and once I hit level 10, I had to decide on a talent specialization. I was waffling between retribution and protection, until I saw holy's 31-point talent. Holy Shock called out to me. It was the only ranged attack that a paladin could obtain, and I was certain it would lead me to victory. Consecration's place in the tree was just icing on the cake. Unfortunately, once I hit level 40 and obtained Holy Shock, I realized just how awful it was for DPS. I never played that paladin again.
We're getting two new AoE heals with Cataclysm's arrival, something we've desperately needed for years. Our holy talent tree is getting a revamp, and much of the clutter it previously contained is disappearing. We're seeing numerous quality of life improvements like the extension to Beacon of Light's duration and a newly revamped Lay on Hands. All of these changes are nice, but there's one that has me even more excited. Blizzard has granted us every single element necessary to facilitate a caster DPS holy build, featuring Holy Shock as the signature spell. While rumors and whispers of the shockadin spec have been circling around since WoW's release, it is now a reality.

how to change the default port 81 ?
first i must say ispconfig is a very great piece of work !
i'm just another noob on linux, spend a lot of time with bad manuals or how-tos... to bring my dedicated server to work without all that visas and confixx crap.
since i found the how-to for SuSE 9.3 from falko the things get better day by day and i guess i'm now also infected with the linux virus ;)
i wonder how i can change the default port 81 of ispconfig into another one after installation ?
maybe i'm just blind but i don't find any informations on that...
hope someone can help - thx
After installation please do the following:
Stop the ISPConfig system: /etc/rc.d/init.d/ispconfig_server stop (RedHat/Mandrake) or /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server stop (SuSE).
Open the file /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php, look for the variable
and change port 81 to your new port.
Afterwards, edit the file /root/ispconfig/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and replace all occurrences of port 81 with your new port number. Then restart the
ISPConfig system: /etc/rc.d/init.d/ispconfig_server start (RedHat/Mandrake) or /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start (SuSE).
Dont forget to activate the new port in your firewall settings!
damn - 7 minutes to answer, thats lighting fast :eek:
THX bud, seems quite easy... :)
One thing to add: Don't use port 80 or 443 for ISPConfig or any other port that's already in use on your system... ;)
Of course, A Linux newb screws up his new ispconfig install by:
Adding the frigging external ip address to the iplist in ISPConfig.
Here's one for you Falko, How can I change the IPList back to default FROM OUTSIDE ISPConfig? Since I changed it, I can't access it anymore from https://host.example.com:81.
I only got to look at it for like five mins :(
thx tb
Do you need an answer to your question or an answer from falko ;)
Open the file /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php and cahnge the line:
$go_info["server"]["network_config"] = 1;
$go_info["server"]["network_config"] = 0;
Then restart your server and login to the ISPConfig controlpanel to change the IP's in the IPList.
General remark: Please make a new thread in the Forum if your question is not related to the topic of the thread.
Oops, sorry and sorry. I looked in so many forums, I forgot which one I was in.
Any answer would do, I was just expecting Falko to find it first. :rolleyes:
Actually it is sort of related (now) because my system keeps telling me that:
/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php is a "new" file.
Could that file have been created in another directory?
Thanks for the response, I'll do better next time.
No, if ISPConfig has been installed correctly the file must be in zhis location.
Is thsi your first logib in the ISPConfig admin interface?
doesn't work on port 82
Please see http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...ed=1#post46789
and http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7902
Already read this thread and followed Till instructions, but still doesn't work. Help is greatly apprecitated. Thanks in advanced.

I've been absent from this spot for so long that I had to log in, which is the online equivalent of ringing the doorbell to my own house. So, ding-dong!, and thank you for letting me back in. Nothing major happened -- it was just a matter of one moment flowing into the next, all the tasks and events of family life rapidly adding up to eat my days, with me left wondering where those days went, what I did, and what had happened to my creative routine. (Sound familiar?)
Anyway, as a friend of mine once said, "We press on." So I am, and I'm throwing all of my creative energy into penning something I've wanted to tackle for a while called The Things We Do -- an effort put into firm form all of those seemingly vaporous (but important) things we do as parents to raise our children. (At least from birth through the tween years. Late tweens & teenagers will get their own write-up once I've gotten through it!) I've been keeping notes for years and the time finally seems right to get it all out.
Here are a few of the many B&W pages in progress -- when it's finished it will be in color, somewhat organized, and bound just like The Stew Book.
It started out as a little leaflet but it has already grown way beyond the original scope -- clearly I have a lot to say on the subject -- and I'll keep going until I feel it's finished. If you'd like to keep tabs on the other page drafts, I'm posting them on Twitter and Instagram. Come & find me! Also, thanks for putting up with my absence and coming back to say hello! :)

A game changer for interactive performance.
Monday, November 21, 2011
Labels: v8
Today we are announcing the release of Chrome's new incremental garbage collector (GC) which dramatically improves interactive performance of web apps and HTML5 games.
The V8 project has made huge progress improving peak performance of web apps. With the advent of technologies like WebGL we're seeing the emergence of highly interactive and graphically intensive apps, such as the new version of Google Maps, new games and demos. But with these new uses comes a need for better interactive performance in JavaScript.
Avoiding pauses is vital to achieving good interactive performance. Previously, garbage collection pause times depended on the amount of memory used. Therefore, large interactive apps were impacted by pauses that caused hiccuping. V8's new GC reduces pause times dramatically while maintaining great peak performance and memory use.
To evaluate the new GC, we took the most memory intensive peak performance test from the V8 Benchmark Suite and used it to make a stress test for interactive performance. In our testing the maximum time to render a frame including pause time is reduced from 272ms to 50ms.
The new GC in Chrome improves interactive performance and opens up new possibilities for the interactive web. If you are developing highly interactive web apps or games, please try it out and share your experiences. It is available now on the dev channel.

Colo. boycott over gun laws fails to materialize
A threatened Colorado boycott by hunters opposed to the state's recent legislation meant to curtail gun violence has failed to materialize.
The Denver Post reports that the boycott was a bust, now that the state's primary big game hunting seasons have closed.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife says they are up about 5,000 licenses over last year at this time.
The initial figures are a positive sign for Colorado's $1.8 billion hunting and fishing industry.
Colorado last year collected $38 million in elk and deer licenses from nonresidents, compared with $7.6 million from in-state hunters.
With the largest elk herd in the nation, Colorado is the only state that offers an unlimited number of over-the-counter bull elk licenses to out-of-state hunters.

On March 21, David Barton addressed "just war" theory on his Wallbuilders Live program and in the process he said the following about the destruction of Indian tribes.What happened was the Indian leaders said "they're trying to change our culture" and so they declared war on all the white guys and went after the white guys and that was King Philip's War.

At Crosswalk and Huffington Post, I posted articles this week with comments from Randy Adams, outreach minister with the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma (Southern Baptist). Adams has outreach responsibilities with Native Americans in OK and has commented before on Bryan Fischer's views of native people.

More on David Barton and King Philip's War
After David Barton's astounding defense of the destruction of Indian tribes and their means of supporting themselves, I started reading more about King Philip's War. Barton said the Indians declared war to defend torture in particular and their culture more generally. This is inadequate as an explanation. In addition to any concerns about culture, there was the more important matter of English encroachment on Indian lands. Philip (Metacomet, son of Massasoit) had appreciation for elements of … [Read more...]
David Barton Justifies Civilizing Indians By Destroying Them
Yesterday, on Wallbuilders Live, David Barton addressed just war theory and conduct toward nations who don't follow conventions of war. In doing so, he said:What happened was the Indian leaders said "they're trying to change our culture" and so they declared war on all the white guys and went after the white guys and that was King Philip's War. It was really trying to be civilized on one side and end torture and the Indians were threatened by the ending of torture and so we had to go in and … [Read more...]
David Barton's Capitol Tour: Did Thomas Jefferson Spend Federal Funds to Evangelize the Kaskaskia Indians?
This week, Michael Coulter and I are going to present a series of reactions to an eight minute YouTube video of David Barton's Capitol Tour. Sponsored by the Family Research Council, the video provides narration from Barton speaking in the Rotunda of the Capitol. First, I am going to revisit Barton's fable about Jefferson and the Kaskaskia Indians. I wrote about the Kaskaskia treaty last year and we cover it in our book Getting Jefferson Right. In his book The Jefferson Lies, Barton uses the Kas … [Read more...]

Two of my favourite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? ~ Ginny from Small Things
I'm still reading Heather Barbieri's The Lace Makers of Glenmara and will be finished by the end of the week. I really need to finish the Postmistress by Sarah Blake but can't seem to get into the book. So, I think my next book to read will be Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon, which I've read long ago but have started reading the series.
Knitting is going really great and I'm almost finished with my top-down cardi. I just need to finish the left side front ribbing and the sleeves. I'm excited to get this project done so I can wear it soon !

Berkshire Wedding DJ
Your Berkshire wedding should be as memorable as the area itself. Nothing cements the transcendent experience of your nuptials in the hearts and minds of friends and family as a laudable reception energized by a great wedding DJ.
JTD Productions has 23 years of DJ experience.
Our goal is to make your wedding party a reflection of your personal musical tastes. Weather you've chosen an elegant estate, a rustic country setting or even a historic landmark for your Western Massachusetts wedding, our DJs will help you set the right tone to ensure a flawless event.
A Berkshire wedding ceremony should feel ethereal.
It's a desired destination for Western Massachusetts weddings for its breathtaking views, a harmonious amalgamation of nature and structure. Even the fresh air is enough to move guests to a heavenly state of bliss. At JTD Productions our DJs appreciate the time and effort it took to create your perfect wedding atmosphere and we will work with you to ensure that achievement carries over into your reception party.
Your Wedding Soundtrack Should Reflect You
When you work with us, one of our 4 DJs will meet with you personally to discuss what kind of music you want and don't want to hear during your wedding reception. DJs Dave Leonard, Michael Wilcock, Jordan Matthews and James Mongan have a vast and eclectic music library to draw from. We'll sit down with you to make sure your wedding soundtrack includes sentimental 'must haves' favorite 'play if you can tracks' while making sure there is enough variety to keep everyone on the dance floor until the very end. You can rest assured we will respect the DO NOT PLAY list, the same way you'd expect your caterer to respect the do not serve list.
JTD Wedding JDs are true professionals.
We work with all of the vendors at your wedding and respect the needs of a live band. Our wedding DJs will check with you first to assure we come properly dressed for your Berkshire wedding. There is no need to worry about a last minute crisis, our entire music library and equipment is backed up by $1 million dollars of liability insurance. We even donate a percentage of every wedding to the charity of your choice!
JTD Productions wants to take finding a great Wedding DJ in Western Massachusetts off your planning list of things to do.
Harry once aptly told Sally, "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
So why not kick it off with the party of your life?

Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Justin Bieber - "Die In Your Arms". Bouncing harpsichord, Justin still cherubic, but here's a song about wanting to die in your arms. Can you imagine this kid expiring, maybe with bullet-holes in his chest, and a beatific smile on his face? Can you imagine him going peacefully into death? I imagine him shrieking, sniffling, clawing the unjust air. Kid's never known love. Kid's never known a love he'd trade everything for. These lines are pure fiction: "If I could just die in your arms / I wouldn't mind." But most pop music is fiction, after all - at best the recollection of a feeling. And here's a tune that's a middle-eight short of brilliant, because did I mention that harpsichord? It's borrowed from Michael Jackson's "We've Got a Good Thing Going". And did I mention those fingersnaps? They're new. And did I mention that there are certain chord progressions that are coded into our bodies, just like sunsets look nice, yes sunsets look nice. Produced by Darkchild, the producer with the most bad-ass name, who gave us sweetheart singles like Monica & Brandy's "The Boy Is Mine" and Destiny's Child "Lose My Breath".

The face-value absurdity of current Western foreign policy in the wake of a decade-long "War on Terror" that has left it bankrupt, thousands of its soldiers dead, tens of thousands more maimed or mentally ill, is perhaps so profoundly acute, it is hoped it is easier to instead believe US Secretary of State John Kerry's repeated lies."
"The Obama administration will provide food and medicine to Syrian rebel fighters, Secretary of State John F. Kerry said Thursday, announcing a cautious U.S. foray into front-line battlefield support that falls far short of the heavy weapons or high-tech gear the rebels seek. The stakes are really high, and we can't risk letting this country - in the heart of the Middle East - be destroyed by vicious autocrats or hijacked by the extremists," Kerry said following discussions among a group of Western and Arab nations that are funding, and in some cases arming, the fighters.
"To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has cooperated with Saudi Arabia's government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda."
"the Saudi government, with Washington's approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken the government of President Bashir Assad [sic], of Syria. The Israelis believe that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more conciliatory and open to negotiations."
"[Walid] Jumblatt then told me that he had met with Vice-President Cheney in Washington last fall to discuss, among other issues, the possibility of undermining Assad. He and his colleagues advised Cheney that, if the United States does try to move against Syria, members of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood would be "the ones to talk to," Jumblatt said."
"[Saudi Arabia's] Bandar and other Saudis have assured the White House that "they will keep a very close eye on the religious fundamentalists. Their message to us was 'We've created this movement, and we can control it.' It's not that we don't want the Salafis to throw bombs; it's who they throw them at - Hezbollah, Moqtada al-Sadr, Iran, and at the Syrians, if they continue to work with Hezbollah and Iran."
"On a humid afternoon in late May, about 100 supporters of Syria's largest exile opposition group, the National Salvation Front, gathered outside Damascus's embassy here to protest Syrian President Bashar Assad's rule. The participants shouted anti-Assad slogans and raised banners proclaiming: "Change the Regime Now."
"In the weeks before the presidential election, the State Department's Middle East Partnership Initiative, which promotes regional democracy, and NSF members met to talk about publicizing Syria's lack of democracy and low voter turnout, participants say. A Washington-based consulting firm, C&O Resources Inc., assisted the NSF in its planning for the May 26 anti-Assad rally at the Syrian embassy, providing media and political contacts. State Department officials stress they provided no financial or technical support to the protestors."
"The decision to consider a party that is fighting the regime as a terrorist party needs to be reviewed. We might disagree with some parties and their ideas and their political and ideological vision. But we affirm that all the guns of the rebels are aimed at overthrowing the tyrannical criminal regime."
"Coalition chairman Mouaz al-Khatib angrily appealed for a humanitarian corridor to the besieged city of Homs and said the rebels are tired of Western complaints about extremists in their ranks. He argued that the real enemy is the Assad regime but said too many outsiders are worried only about "the length of a beard of a fighter."
"No terrorists in the world have such a savage nature as those in the regime," Khatib said in Arabic.

So AWESOME...even two teenagers couldn't complain!
This was a fabulous house! Gorgeous architecture and everything we could have needed. Thank you for being great hosts and allowing us to stay at your Loon Lake home.
very nice
The Hidden Moose Lodge is the perfect secluded jewel to spent restful vacations. We rented the lodge in August for one week. The house is well equipped and very comfy. The kitchen is large and the new gas burners installed in the old stove is a nice touch. Our 2 teenagers used the ping pong table every day. We spent one day on a motorboat we rented at the lake nearby, the Loon Lake. Another day we did a white rafting trip. The region has a lot to offer for athletic family as well as more quiet vacationers: small antique stores, nice walks and restaurants. I spent a lot hours reading in the living room underneath the skylights. We are hoping we'll be back!

SIB Loan Program
The State Infrastructure Bank Loan Program was enacted by Colorado Legislature in 1998, and adopted by the Colorado Department of Transportation in 1999. This unique funding source is supported by the Colorado Transportation Commission and helps fund transportation facilities with funds available through a low-interest revolving loan program.
Loans awarded to Colorado public-use airports from the SIB have been used to support funding for projects such as capital airport improvements, air traffic control towers, snow removal equipment and airport pavement reconstruction. Additionally, these low-interest loans have been utilized for land acquisitions that have protected Colorado airports from incompatible land-use surrounding airports.
Please review the SIB Rules and Regulations for more information on how this program works. If you have any further questions pertaining to the Colorado SIB Program, please call the Aeronautics Division offices at 303-261-4418.
