Bolivia Encompassed Itinerary
Embark on a captivating journey around Bolivia that takes in the fascinating La Paz, Sucre, Potosi and Salar de Uyuni in comfort.
- 9
Total price tool tip
- Comfort
- i
Day 1 La Paz
Welcome to Bolivia. At around 3,600 m, La Paz feels like the top of the world. Why not head to the Witches' Market and bargain for a potion or go on a shopping spree, purchasing the latest Bolivian trends including alpaca beanies, leather handbags and woolly knits.
ACCOM: Hotel - 1
Days 2-3 Uyuni
After a short flight we arrive at Uyuni. This small and slightly desolate town is the gateway to some of Bolivia's most incredible natural landscapes. Jump in a 4x4 and journey to the astounding Salar de Uyuni salt flats.
ACCOM: Hotel - 2
Days 4-5 Potosi
Make tracks to Potosi and explore the city's wealth of colonial architecture. Or choose to go on an underground tour of Potosi's mines, where working conditions have scarcely improved since colonial times. This trip into the earth may be a little scary, but it is a chance to learn about the harsh realities of the cooperative mines and the challenges faced every day by the men and women who work there.
ACCOM: Hotel - 2
Days 6-7 Sucre
Visit the 'White City' of Sucre and take some time to amble the cobblestone streets and admire the classic architecture. Explore the palaces, churches and convents, which are dotted all over the city. Then head to the Plaza 25 de Mayo to mingle with Sucre's well-heeled residents or have a look at the beautiful interior of the Iglesia de la Merced. For something completely different, compare shoe sizes with a dinosaur at Cal Orcko, where 60 million-year-old footprints have been discovered.
ACCOM: Hotel - 2
Days 8-9 La Paz
Back in La Paz there is more time to visit the city's various museums, whether it be one revering contemporary art or paying homage to the coca leaf. Opt to finish the trip with a farewell group dinner, a great opportunity to say goodbye to new friends and share memories of the trip over a Pisco sour or two.
ACCOM: Hotel - 1

Google Earth Using Homemade Images from Balloons and Kites
April 19th, 2012
Google Earth gets the imagery it needs from multiple sources including aircraft and satellites. Google recently started adding images to its collection from other sources including less expensive balloons and kites. The new images Google Earth is using come from people like you and me using cheap systems for local aerial photography.
Google says that friends at The Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science have been working to devise a method of collecting the sort of imagery that's cheap and easy to access for all people. The kit that the Public Laboratory came up with has been dubbed the balloon mapping toolkit.
It allows anyone to take their own aerial images using a cheap point-and-shoot digital camera and a few other items. The kit would cost about $100 including the balloon, helium, line, and other items needed. The Public Laboratory also has an online tool called MapKnitter that aligns the photos into a geo-referenced image that Google Earth can use.

Love it!
So pigmented and perfect color correcting shades. Worth every cent and a little goes a long way.
Camouflage Cream Palettes feature five different concealer shades to hide and correct blemishes and imperfections. Each concealer shade is highly concentrated in pigments for maximum coverage. The flesh colored shades are effective for hiding dark circles or puffy eyes, pigmentation and scars, while the corrective shades conceal hyperpigmentation. Camouflage Cream Palettes are designed to suit all skin types:
Apply these easy-to-apply creams with fingers or a nylon brush, over or under foundation. Set with powder for long-lasting results.
Pro tip: for easier application, the product may be diluted with a makeup primer, Castor Oil, or simply with foundation.
To create contours and highlights, use a shade deeper that the skin and lighter than the skin tone. Smooth out the selected color until it blends into the skin.
For easier application, the product may be diluted with a makeup primer, Castor Oil, or simply with foundation.
Apply a very small amount of the product around the eye to camouflage wrinkles or sagging skin, and mix the camouflage cream with the HD Primer to avoid emphasizing lines and wrinkles.

Readers of this blog know that my recent book presents what's essentially a Whiteheadian (and Peircian) theory of cinema. (A theory, not the theory. And when compared to something as deeply Whiteheadian in its details as, say, Donald Sherburne's A Whiteheadian Aesthetic, mine is, at best, "inspired by Whitehead.")

A. O. Scott's article on the Abraham Zapruder film of JFK's assassination captures something of the 50-year transition from the first cinéma vérité president (Kennedy) to a world in which everyone is their own cinéma vérité celebrity — stars and legends in our own minds. The Zapruder film in a sense predates all that — it comes […]

A key question for a process-relational account of a film is the question of how that film shows objects and subjects in the process of being made — how it shows subjectivation and objectivation arising together.

Ecologies of the Moving Image is a book of ecophilosophy that happens to be about cinema, and about the 12-decade history of cinema at that. What makes it ecophilosophy? It is philosophy that is deeply informed both by an understanding of ecological science and an interdisciplinary appreciation for today's ecological crisis. Why cinema?

Fears of Divorce May Be Keeping Many Young Couples From Marriage: Study
Two-thirds of cohabitating couples said they worried about fallout from a legal split
FRIDAY, Dec. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Fears about the emotional, financial, social and legal consequences of divorce explain why the percentage of married adults in the United States has reached an all-time low, researchers report.
The study of 122 people in cohabitating couples found that 67 percent said they worried about having to deal with the fallout of divorce, the University of Central Oklahoma and Cornell University researchers said in a Cornell news release.
Compared to working-class people, their middle-class counterparts had a more favorable view of marriage and regarded cohabitation as a natural stepping stone to marriage.
Lower-income women were especially likely to have doubts about the "trap" of marriage. Many believed it would lead to more domestic responsibilities with few benefits or that it could hard to get out of a marriage if things go wrong.
The researchers also found that cohabitating working-class couples were more likely to view marriage as "just a piece of paper," that would be nearly the same as their existing relationship.
These couples were twice as likely to have fears about being stuck in a bad marriage once they became reliant on their partner's share of income.
The study was published in the December issue of the journal Family Relations.
The findings could help premarital counselors devise lessons that ease fears of divorce and address the specific concerns of various socioeconomic classes, the researchers said.

Sometimes it takes a little while for a show to hit its stride, and watching Las Vegas for the first half of its first season was a crapshoot. About the only reliable diversions were seeing the Montecito Resort & Casino big shot James Caan (''The Godfather'' icon, star of great small films like 1981's ''Thief'' and, most to the point, 1974's ''The Gambler'') interact with his right-hand man, former ''All My Children'' cast member Josh Duhamel. The doe-eyed Duhamel and craggy Caan quickly developed an easy, light-comic rapport that's been fun to take in. Oh, and so is Nikki Cox's Mary Connell, whose business wardrobe forces her to enter rooms about seven inches behind her chest, thus giving an inadvertent double meaning to her job title, ''director of special events.''
In its early episodes, ''Las Vegas'' was mighty soapy. Caan is ''Big Ed'' Deline, who runs surveillance and security for the fictional Montecito. Duhamel's Danny was monkeying around with Big Ed's daughter, the is-that-your-porn-name Delinda Deline (MTV grad Molly Sims). But Danny was also not immune to the allure of the joint's pit boss, Nessa (Marsha Thomason), or casino host Sam (Vanessa Marcil). Soon enough, however, creator Gary Scott Thompson and his writers realized they needed to make ''Las Vegas''' hustlers, visitors, and Elvis impersonators more than background noise for Duhamel's trysts. So the series pumped up the guest-star quotient.
That's when the fun began, around the turn of this year, when people as diverse as Paris Hilton, Sean Astin, Dennis Hopper, and Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath began showing up, either as themselves or as thinly disguised versions of themselves (promos touted Hilton as playing ''the ultimate gold digger'' -- we're not exactly talking Paris tackling Helen Keller here). I particularly enjoyed the Sugar Ray: Not only did we see McGrath and his band do a primo Vegas-schlock version of ''Every Morning,'' but producers worked the singer into an absurd subplot that found Big Ed suspicious that McGrath was cheating with his wife. If I add that Mrs. Big Ed is played by a middle-aged-bodacious Cheryl Ladd and that, in a jealous rage, Ed barked at Danny, ''Whaddya got on this Mark McGrath?'' as if the rocker were a thug lothario, you'll understand why this series has become such a campy hoot.
''Las Vegas'' borrows its flash and amiable-tough-guy tone from the 1978 -- 81 Robert Urich show ''Vega$.'' And since ''CSI'' became a hit with swooping microscopic camera moves, ''Las Vegas'' does the same; it doesn't matter that on the two ''CSI'' shows, those shots (mostly into dead bodies) serve a purpose. On ''Las Vegas,'' a camera zooms in on one bead of sweat running down the sideburn of a gambler; the globule expands to fill the screen, then spins and reflects the action in the casino before plopping away. The point of this? Um, none. It just looks fancy. Which, you might say, is a metaphor for the glitz of Vegas. Creator Thompson, the guy who wrote ''The Fast and the Furious'' and ''Timecop 2,'' and writer Gardner Stern (everything from ''Law & Order'' to the Fox flop ''John Doe'') have come up with a winning mix of narrative speediness -- every subplot introduced in the first 15 minutes; every outcome foreseen in the first 16 -- and embraceable cheese.
When you cast ''90210'''s Brian Austin Green ('scuse me, ''Brian Green'' these days) as Paris Hilton's leering lover, you know you've got a series that's increasingly confident it can make you stick around for its no-brainer stories.
I mean, any episode that offers up June Lockhart as Big Ed's meddling mother and permits Caan to refer to ''Lassie'''s TV mom as ''a hundred pounds of pain in the ass'' is evidence of a series whose simple pleasures bode well for hitting the syndication jackpot. At the very least, Jimmy Caan has earned a nice retirement package, and maybe by season 2, ''Las Vegas'' will be so relaxed by success, the producers will release Nikki Cox from her harness and put her into a frumpy jumpsuit. That poor girl is havin' to work it way too hard.

Yeah, the single player game should be way more involved than getting the door open, shooting more monsters, finding the next switch, etc. There should be way more strategy, less focus on trigger reflexes (well, can it really get any better than UT? go back to robotron!). More interaction with friendly and neutral parties. The old adventure-game type of puzzles deserve a place. More options for different styles of play: stealth, deception, cooperation, or total carnage! Also, more boss monsters. Those who've played Jedi Knight will have some idea of the depth these FPSs can have.

My wife and I got stranded in Miami on our Honeymoon, we drove from NC and our car broke down on collins ave. Nelson overnighted the part we needed and drove us in his personal truck back to our hotel! The car was fixed the next morning! We were so pleased! Nelson saved the Honeymoon!
Best Auto Mechanic Miami 2009 - Shorty & Fred's
1520 Alton Road
Miami Beach, FL 33139
In that ironic way that makes perfect sense only to Miamians, one of the county's busiest independent garages is parked in the least car-friendly neighborhood outside of downtown. Shorty & Fred's has serviced the needs of Miami Beach's drivers since 1956, when the city had way fewer cars fighting for precious spots. Although Fred long ago sold out, and Shorty left us for better pastures just a few years back, Shorty's son, Nelson, carries on the tradition of service that keeps customers coming back with their oil leaks and intermittent pings decade after decade. So, how do you really know when a mechanic isn't out to cheat you? When he turns your business away. Unless it's something vital to your safety, Nelson and crew will tell you when you don't have to get something fixed right away. They just have too much real business to waste effort on phony repairs — so while they might charge a little more than the cheap place across town, you definitely pay only for what you need, and they'll get it done fast. The queue generally forms on Alton Road every weekday before 8 a.m., so get there early.
How true this is. I just took my car there for the first time and it just needed a minor adjustment. Nelson, the owner, didn't even charge me! This is a fantastic garage. Highly recommend them.
I appreciate mechanics like Nelson. He is one of the few that are doing the right thing. Thumbs up for Nelson!.

PROVO, Utah, September 20, 2013 — Meatloaf is an often mocked food. Love it or hate it, no one sits on the fence.
Most countries have their own versions that include anything from pickles to hardboiled eggs. In the United States, meatloaf is often served glazed with a ketchup-based sauce, but can also be found rolled up with a variety of fillings including chopped spinach, mashed potatoes, and ham.
SEE RELATED: Frito pie, friday nights and football food (recipe)
Why is it that the best meatloaf always comes from home?
Cooking in small batches and serving it minutes after taking it from the oven are important factors. A seasoned Louisiana cook once told me, "you can never have too many peppers and onions in a meatloaf."
I took that advice to heart as I created this recipe. People will try all sorts of different seasonings, but I have discovered that for soul food, you should keep it simple and use the freshest ingredients available.
This version is not your mama's meatloaf. Bacon has also come out of the shadows. Though once hated by doctors and maligned for its high fat and cholesterol counts, it is now championed by feckless ne'er-do-wells who throw caution to the wind by adorning everything from donuts to chocolate chip cookies with crispy porkalicious bacon.
SEE RELATED: RECIPE: Elotes, Mexican street food in your kitchen
It was just a matter of time before meatloaf and bacon would combine, achieving what can only be described as meatloaf nirvana.
This recipe is an old Southern favorite chock full of garden-fresh peppers and onions, then capped with a layer of thick-cut hickory smoked bacon. As the bacon crisps to perfection, the drippings baste the meatloaf, keeping it juicy and flavor-filled. For the meatloaf purist, the ketchup sauce is served on the side.
Southern-style Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf
SEE RELATED: Station 22 Café, Provo, Utah: Americana at its tastiest
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 generous cup chopped bell pepper
1 cup chopped onions
2 eggs
1 cup soft, fresh breadcrumbs
salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon parsley
½ pound thick-cut hickory smoked bacon slices
1 ½ cups ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bell pepper, onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper, and parsley. Mix with your hands to combine, distributing ingredients evenly. Do not over mix or the meat will become gummy.
Lightly oil a 10 or 12 inch cast-iron skillet. Place the ground beef mixture into the skillet and pat into a smooth and rounded shape. Layer strips of bacon over meatloaf, slightly overlapping long edges and trimming the ends when needed. Cover the whole surface of the meatloaf with bacon.
Put the meatloaf into the oven and cook uncovered. Bake for 1 ½ hours or until the juices run clear and meat is no longer pink. A meat thermometer placed in the center will read 160°F when well done. When 30 minutes of cooking time remain, prepare the sauce. Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over low until sugar is dissolved and sauce is slightly reduced, stirring occasionally. Keep the sauce warm.
After removing from the oven, drain grease from skillet and let meatloaf rest for 10 minutes.
Serve sauce on the side.

Daniel James Brown - The Boys in the Boat
In conversation with Phil Cousineau
Daniel James Brown's robust book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the boys defeated elite rivals first from eastern and British universities and finally the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the Olympic games in Berlin, 1936. Drawing on the boys' own diaries and journals, their photos and memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, The Boys in the Boat ($27.95) is an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate story of nine working-class boys from the American west who, in the depths of the Great Depression, showed the world what true grit really meant.

You Save 15.00 % ($30.00)
Published on 2013-09-16
Installation of the tubular SVE rear control arms for 79-04 Mustangs will greatly reduce wheel hop. They are also a great replacement for high mileage worn out factory control arms. Installation can be done in your driveway with a few simple hand tools. Don't let your performance get robbed by a worn out and weak rear suspension. Upgrade to our performance rear controls arms.
Available in red and black finishes. Exclusively from LatemodelRestoration.com!
By now, I'm sure you've seen our promotional video on why are '79 to '04 SVE rear control arms are head and shoulders above the rest. Here's why you need to replace them. Because the stock control arms are flimsy and stamped, and after a measly 100,000 miles on this '04 GT, the bushings were completely dry rotted and beat out of the control arms. We're going to show you step by step on how to put these on your '79 to '04.
Support your Mustang in the air and remove the rear wheels. Pry the ABS sensor wire if equipped from the retaining bracket. Remove the rear sway bar attaching bolts and set the sway bar aside. Support the rear of the lower control arm with a jack, and remove the axle side retaining bolt. Lower the jack, let the control arm swing down, and remove the spring.
Remove the body side control arm bolt and remove the stock control arm. Clean the axle and body side mounting surfaces, and apply the supplied grease to them, as well as the control arm bushings. Slide the body into the control arm into place and loosely install the retaining bolt. Install your lower spring isolator, slide your spring in the place, and swing the control arm up.
Use the jack to raise and position the control arm in the axle, and loosely install the blot. Jack up the complete rear axle until the suspension is compressed, and tighten both rear lower control arm bolts. Repeat these steps for the other side.
Remove one upper control arm at a time by removing the two retaining bolts. Slide the stock arm out, and clean the body mounting area. Loosely install the body side bolt, and swing the control arm down over the axle bushing, and loosely install axle side bolt. Repeat for the other side.
Jack up the complete rear axle until the suspension is compressed, and tighten all the upper control arm bolts. Remove the nut clips from the sway bar and slide them over the control arm. Install the forward two bolts loosely and swing the sway bar up into place. Slide the rear retaining bolts through the E-brake cable brackets and tighten down all sway bar bolts.
These control arms are available in a red or black powder coat. And because of the sturdy construction and urethane bushings, it'll allow you to eliminate your quad shocks and completely eliminate wheel hop. Check out latemodelrestoration.com for even more suspension options for your Mustang.
Check out our YouTube channel for even more tech tips, installation videos, how-tos, and more. The best place to go for anything Mustang related!
Are the control arms with this kit adjustable?
Asked by Cameron D. from Carlinville | Comment 0 0
Best Answer:
No sir, the control arms are a fixed design and are a direct bolt on.

Just wondering what comfortable white shoe you ladies would recommend? I don't want to spend a fortune, but want to be comfortable! Thanks!!... Read More
- 0Jul 28, '10 by BellsRNBSNQuote from CMille14I'm thinking of getting Nurse Mates slip ons for clinical, but I've heard from some people that they actually slip off your foot a bit while you're walking, like the heel of your foot can slip out quite easily. I'm guessing you don't have this problem, and that you recommend them? (Just want to make sure )Love my Nurse Mates slip ons. They're very soft and comfortable all day long, easy to clean, and no shoelaces! I got them on sale for less than $60.00.

The Top 10 Runway Music Tracks of Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013
Now that Paris Fashion Week has wrapped up, find out what sounded on the catwalks in The City of Light.
1. "Esta Noche" by Azealia Banks at Mugler
Lady Gaga might have been billed as musical director for the show, but there's another songstress who Nicola Formichetti has taken notice ofAzealia Banks. A fan of her style, Formichetti closed the Mugler show with this supercharged track off her mixtape Fantasea. Boasting a groovy sample from Montell Jordans Get It On Tonite, deep electronic pulses, and her signature salacious lyrics, the heat was most definitely on.
2. "I Gotta Try You Girl" by Junior Kimbrough at Saint Laurent
As per request of designer Hedi Slimane, French electronic duo Daft Punk edited a playlist of songs from the late American rhythm and blues pioneer, Junior Kimbrough, for Saint Laurents highly-anticipated womenswear debut. This track in particular was the perfect dose of cool with hypnotic guitar riffs and badass lyrics fit for the collections dark rock 'n' roll glamour.
3. "Lady" by the Chromatics at Chanel
Among the eco-friendly windmills churning inside of the Grand Palais, The Chromatics performed live as Karl Lagerfeld presented his latest collection for Chanel down a solar-paneled runway. This synth-pop track off their LP Kill For Love is slinky, sexy, and just energetic enough to keep up with Lagerfelds vitality.
4. "I've Got You Under My Skin" by Neneh Cherry vs. "Jazz In Paris" by Malcolm McLaren at Miu Miu
Runways are no stranger to a good mash-up and this juxtaposition of songs at Miu Miu was just as compelling as it was creative. Quintessential Parisian glamour was eminent as the trumpet sounded loud and proud. When joined by Swedish singer-songwriter Neneh Cherrys hip-hop rhymes, it was an ironic match which thrived off of the collections femme-fatale motif.
5. "Check My Machine" by Paul McCartney at Stella McCartney
Leave it to Stella McCartney to pay tribute to her father, Sir Paul McCartney, in the most magnificent of fashion. She closed her catwalk with an experimental track off of Sir Pauls 1980 album McCartney II. With its groovy backbeat, synthesized vocals, and hint of electronics, it was totally forward-thinking for its time. And so the saying goes, like father, like daughter.
6. "La Forêt (Balenciaga Remix by Joakim)" by LESCOP at Balenciaga
Just as with a clothing design, in order for a song to be runway-ready, it sometimes needs an alterationin other words, a remix. This first single on LESCOP's album was put into the rightful hands of Joakim, a prominent French electronic musician, who adapted the track to be better-suited for the models runway stride and complementary to Nicolas Ghesquières sharp spring collection.
7. "Sinnerman" by Nina Simone at Carven
Nina Simone had the kind of pipes that are always likely to raise goosebumps, but her rendition of this turn of the 20th century classic is absolutely enthralling. Simones unparalleled, soulful vocals and the songs stirring instrumentals have made it a runway favorite and Carvens whimsical spring collection certainly did it justice.
8. "Le Goudron" by YACHT at Alexis Mabille
American electropop band YACHT has the kind of sound which makes it seem as if they were simply plucked from a different decade. This cover of French avant-pop singer Brigitte Fontaines 1969 song only emphasizes this notion. Modernized by vivid and heavy synth bass, it kept the Alexis Mabille runway vibrant while still tapping into the collections retro flavor.
9. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by The Beach Boys at Rochas
Despite being first and foremost a French fashion house, designer Marco Zanini wasnt afraid to look beyond the borders of France for music that would serve as an appropriate counterpart to a collection with some serious '60s vibes. Who better than The Beach Boys for notes of nostalgia and an overall feel-good atmosphere?
10. "Set Up" by Au Pairs at Chloé
A British post-punk band, the Au Pairs were well-known in the '80s for their gender-blurring tendencies and politically-charged anthems. This 1983 track features an upbeat mixture of disco and soul, making for a delicious synth-pop track fit for celebrating the fashion houses 60th anniversaryand a collection which served as a retrospective of Chloés ever-present feminine confidence.

Yes to all of the above. Rich story worlds and characters need to breathe and unfold. I love distant mountains, too. And authors who can set wheels in motion and let others drive the cart are courageous and will reach many, many more people.
Transmedia also makes sense when:
aspects of story or character are better told in certain media than others (the goal being to take advantage of each medium's strengths—eg, characters who Tweet)
potential audience is scattered across media (eg., gamers don't all read books and vice versa; 39 Clues, Patrick Carman titles)
story world can cross genre/typical audience (eg, rom coms can reach men, as Alison Norrington found)
natural cheese holes invite readers to contribute, collaborate (Inanimate Alice–having to stop at episode #4 out of 10 may have been what triggered the classroom boon in content!)
fan base buys into a world and needs, craves more than any author or creative team can possibly provide.

2015 Top Prospects
Luke Farley
- OF - 2015 - Denver, IA
Farley's athleticism keeps inching forward but it is time for people nationally to start realizing that he has one of the top 2015 bats in the country. He took a "10" batting practice and followed that up with a 4-4 game that featured a home run, a double and 4 Rbi's.
Jefferey O'Doherty
- RHP - 2015 - Omaha, NE
O'Doherty was one of the revelations of the showcase, with a very strong 6-foot-4, 235-pound build, a upper 80's fastball and both a curveball and slider that were quality pitches. College Coaches Note: This young man told us he hasn't received a single college offer yet and he is a high level D1 talent in our opinion.
Cole Baker
- RHP - 2015 - Grimes, IA
Baker sat between 87-89 mph for four innings with heavy life low in the zone and didn't vary a bit in his command or velocity. His change up was also a good pitch that he could have used more often.
Tyler Garrison
- C - 2015 - Shawnee, KS
Garrison stood out on both sides of the ball as a left handed hitting catcher. He has lots of power in his bat and has all the tools, including a noticeable vein of leadership skills, to stay behind the plate for a long time.
Drew Denkinger
- RHP - 2015 - Johnston, IA
Denkinger's fastball reached new levels this event, hitting 90 mph frequently to go with noticeable increased arm speed.
Alec Bohm
- 3B - 2015 - Omaha, NE
Bohm is blessed with impact right handed power and while there is some swing and miss in his approach, the Wichita State commit can drive the ball like few others can when he squares it up.
Christopher Comito Jr
- RHP - 2015 - Norwalk, IA
Comito's curveball is a high level pitch, with both power up to 78 mph a hard biting action that will make right handed hitter's flinch. He was up to 87 mph on his fastball and has plenty more in his arm.
Connor Hock
- RHP - 2015 - Green Bay, WI
A native of Green Bay, Hock attacked hitters with an 86-88 mph fastball that projects to add velocity as he fills out his 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame.
Zachary Daniels
- RHP - 2015 - Robins, IA
Daniels is an interesting two-way prospect who should really continue to improve as he gets stronger. He topped out 87 mph from a deceptive low 3/4's crossfire delivery but also ran a 6.65 and shows a nice left handed swing.
Ryan Kayhill
- OF - 2015 - Lee's Summit, MO
Kayhill has a nice collection of centerfield tools, including 6.67 speed and a strong throwing arm, and he made a game catch on Sunday that was as good as it gets. He swings a good right handed bat as well.
Chase Slota
- RHP - 2015 - Lake Villa, IL
Slota looks the part of the prospect pitcher with a broad shouldered 6-foot-5, 215-pound frame and had the stuff to match with an 85-87 mph fastball and a sharp breaking 72 mph curveball.
Justin Tallman
- RHP - 2015 - New London, MO
Tallman is a Missouri State commit who pounded the strike zone with an 85-87 mph fastball and finished off some hitters with a sharp 11/5 curveball.
Lucas Larson
- SS - 2015 - Cedar Rapids, IA
Larson has taken huge strides athletically since the spring as he's grown into his 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame. He projects as a future third baseman with some pop in his bat.
Samuel Osisek
- OF - 2015 - Hawthorn Woods, IL
Osisek has a nice combination of middle of the field speed (6.85) and athleticism to go with a quick right handed bat.
2016 Top Prospects
Joey Polak
- 3B - 2016 - Quincy, IL
Polak stands out at any event due to his very advanced right handed bat and big present power. He shows many similarities to a young Paul Goldschmidt (Diamondbacks).
Spencer Van Scoyoc
- LHP - 2016 - Cedar Rapids, IA
Van Scoyoc has been improving in increments all summer and this was another step for him. He topped out at 88 mph, a new high for him at a PG event, but the most noticeable difference was a vastly improved change up that was a real weapon. He continues to develop as a hitter, too.
Tyler Fitzgerald
- SS - 2016 - Rochester, IL
Fitzgerald has all the tools you'd want to see in a young shortstop, from his projectable 6-foot-2, 175-pound build to his 6.5 speed to his strong throwing arm.
Kace Massner
- OF - 2016 - Burlington, IA
When a 6-foot-5, 190-pound underclassman runs a 6.42 sixty, that attracts one's attention. Massner's bat has also made big progress over the summer as he's making some positive adjustments to take advantage of all his athleticism and leverage at the plate.
Kyle Crowl
- 3B - 2016 - Council Bluffs, IA
Crowl took a step forward in all his base tool areas this weekend, always a great sign in a young player. His best tool remains his bat, though, and he really swung it well in games.
Kole Kampen
- LHP - 2016 - Humboldt, IA
Kampen has all the ingredients to be a top left handed pitching prospect. He topped out at 86 mph and showed nice command of the pitch to both sides of the plate to go with both a curveball and a change up that showed quality.
Grant Judkins
- 3B - 2016 - Pella, IA
Judkins has some adjustments to make with his hitting approach but has very good raw bat speed and can handle the barrel. His arm is becoming a very interesting tool as well, as Judkins threw 90 mph in infield drills and topped out at 87 mph with little effort on the mound.
Bryce Ball
- 1B - 2016 - Mason City, IA
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound left handed hitting Ball shows lots of barrel control in games while working the middle of the field but it was nice to see him turn on balls in batting practice and show his raw power potential. It was also nice to see him turn a double play while at shortstop late in one of the games.

The DuoStock has been around for a bit, but I haven't seen a whole lot about it on the nets.
My buddies at BreachBangClear sent one my way because they use it and recommended it. From what I hear, people tend to love or hate this thing.
I tried my best to be neutral, but I did see examples where people didn't want to try it based on looks alone. I will have to say it does look a bit dated and could use some more rounded edges. In the end however, it functions as advertised.
Although it has the basic features most stocks have such as adjustable length and sling attachment points, the big design spotlight is the curved end. This allows the user to easily go from a low ready / patrol position to a firing position in one smooth motion.
When used this way, it also places the weapon up higher than traditional stocks so the user does not have to raise shoulders or lower their head nearly as much.
A big thing I think some people who don't try the DuoStock miss, is that there is still a good chunk of traditional near-flat space on the stock. This allows the user to choose whichever platform is best for the situation which can certainly vary between whether armor is worn and shooting positions.
The feel of the cheek weld isn't quite as nice as some of the fancy modular stocks, but gets the job done. Currently only available in Black, but made in the good ol' USA offered in MIL-Spec and universal sizes for the AR-15 platform.
For those who feel pretty "meh" based just on looks, I highly recommend giving the DuoStock a try first. The design could be modernized, but I feel the functionality has real merit rather than just being a gimmick.
Here is one place you can purchase. Share your thoughts below.
About the author
Despite The Monkey's interest in all things tactical, his main skill set is art and design. After he graduated from college, he joined the Army Game Project team. Although his work starts in the public domain, it transitions to the full gov/training side, which he hopes will help save lives.
His status as a DOD Contractor for the US Army is not considered full military; however, the Project is a great way for him to serve with his unique skill set of videogame art and design. His morale patches are another example of using his art skills to add a little amusement in the MIL/LEO/GOV systems. He knows they won't change the world, but he's happy to see them put a smile on a service person's face when times aren't always so pleasant.
He does his best to gather tactical knowledge and participate in training, but you will never hear him claim to be some high-speed cool guy you need to listen to. He doesn't mind looking a little goofy if it helps service people learn a little more about gear. He hopes this helps them get what is best for their needs, allowing them to focus on more important things. When he reviews items, he makes sure to use them the same way a serviceperson would in order to determine if the product does what it is designed to do while being strong enough to survive hard use.

Bisceglia "Terra di Vulcano" Aglianico 2011 (750ML) (Sustainable)
Maybe it's something in the air, but lately we find ourselves drawn to mountains and volcanoes, when it comes to wine that is! There is something about the cool climates (yes we were surprised to discover that many volcanoes, when dormant, are pretty darn cool), the myriad of soil types (volcanoes often have more diverse soil than your standard vineyard), and old vines really yield some stunning results. This particular volcano happens to be Mount Vulture (pronounced "Vooltooreh" not like the bird), located in Basilicata, down south between the heel and the toe and, man, is it good. The nose is totally unique and difficult to place, but it's overflowing with roses, sweet tea, cinnamon and gravel. The palate continues with these exotic notes, plus structure and refreshing acidity (that's that cool volcano air talking!). A lovely discovery. - PJ

(From general news sources and the Summer 1983 Draft Horse Journal)
The Summer '83 DHJ featured this registered Shire mare, Folly Farm Miranda, with her 1982 filly foal, Big Little Moonshine. Miranda was one of three Shire mares belonging to Audrey-Lyn & Jerry Stockton of Fort Collins, Colorado, at the time. They said the origin of the stable name was in the expression, "big ideas and little money." Here it is 25 years later and there is still quite a lot of that going around.
This is also a back-door way of paying tribute to another wonderful old friend of ours–Sue Wilson, who started the Stocktons off with their first registered Shires. Her enthusiasm was boundless and we enjoyed her company very much.
Ronald Reagan was president of the U.S. at that time and he presented a new idea for national defense. The national threat most feared was the Soviet Union. Reagan's view of the world was made up of two heavyweights, with China sort of warming up on the other track. President Reagan's idea was to stop thinking in terms of massive retaliation, but to create a missile shield that would enable every American citizen to sleep soundly every night. It was based on "Star Wars" technology. His characterization of the Soviet Union or "the evil empire" or, as he put it, "the focus of evil in the modern world."
Since both we and the Soviets are still around maybe it actually worked. Sort of.
Things have changed a lot. For instance, the price of oil reached $35 a barrel 25 years ago. However, a new agreement with the Saudis was cutting the price of crude to $29 a barrel. OPEC action was brought about only by a steady demand due to conservation measures and sharp price increases.
I am going to pass on one more thing from that year. A German magazine called Stern (really-how Teutonic can you get?) had acquired a 60-volume diary said to be written by Adolf Hitler during his thirteen years in power. Fortunately for them, it was never made into a publication.
The reporter who came up with this gem admitted that he bought a diary from a calligrapher from Stuttgart who had written it himself. The con artist wisely fled the country. I presume the reporter got canned. For all I know both may now reside in your town–or you may spot them at one of the fall horse sales. They would be quite old by now, probably speaking with heavy accents and throwing in a "Sieg Heil" at inappropriate times. Do not call us.
And now–the Summer of 1983 Draft Horse Journal.
It was a 164-page issue (good-sized for that period) and a very pleasant walk down memory lane for us. We have had a wonderful relationship with our horse and mule friends from Missouri from day one. Two professors at the University of Missouri at Columbia, Dr. Mel Bradley and his side-kick, Duane Dailey, were running all over the show-me state doing interviews of old jack and mule breeders. I believe those taped interviews still exist. They resulted in two fine books which are probably still available through the University. They are entitled The Missouri Mule: His Origin and Times Volume I & II by Melvin Bradley.
The first long feature in that issue was a leisurely trip through the Dover, Ohio, area with Howard and Glenna Johnstone, the "decal people" and Belgian breeders from Kansas. Great company and great horse country-mostly Belgians at that time. Still is, I think. Since it was 25 years ago and we've pages to go, I'm going to restrict our coverage to just one of the six stallion photos that we used and a picture I took of Howard at one of our many side stops. I am sure no one was ever blessed with more congenial fellow travelers than those of us who were lucky enough to do some traveling with Howard and Glenna.
I'll also throw in a photo of the shoeing stock taken at the Christ M.A. Miller farm with a stallion's hind foot in a position to work on. As we old relics say–"Those were the days.
This was followed by one of our earliest pictoral judging contests. This was our third class and consisted of four Clydesdale mares. Where did we take the pictures?–at Budweiser in St. Louis, of course. With a generous thanks to the memory of Berry Farrell and his crew who took a day out of their busy lives to make this happen.
We are now on page 30 as we amble through that old issue and find ourselves with the Allebachs and their Windermere Percherons in Pennsylvania. The Windermere Percherons had, in just a few years, become a power to reckon with at places such as the Farm Show in Harrisburg and the Ohio State Fair. Owned by Abe and Mary Allebach, they had carved out a substantial niche for themselves in the Percheron breed, all the while getting established in farming, milking cows–like good Pennsylvania farmers and raising kids. Their children took to farm life and the black and grey horses.
I'm going to run just one photo from that story. It shows Abe with a pair of his mares cutting wheat. If he still has this machine, it is now better than a hundred years old.
The Draft Horse and Mule Association of America was scheduling draft horse and mule mini-tours just about whenever they could whomp one up. They were pushing tours in Daviess County, Indiana, and another in eastern Ohio.
That issue must have been way too much fun to put together because on page 37, I found a picture of Dave McCafferty's six-up of all white horses. Here is how it happened. While taking photos of the high-selling horses at the Columbus sale in February, this man came up and introduced himself as Dave McCafferty from West Farmington, Ohio. He asked me if I had ever seen any white draft horses. Ever the smart aleck, I said, "Sure, I see them every day I'm home–old grey Percheron mares that have turned white." That is not what he had in mind. Nor are albinos what he had in mind.
And with that I better think seriously of closing this shop up before it is much too big. The rest will be in brief blasts.
Other items from that issue are the report that for the second consecutive year the volume of business in registered Belgians was at an all-time high. In the twelve month period ending on October 31, 1982, a total of 4,065 registrations were recorded by 1,500 breeders, an increase of 153 over the previous year. Transfers totalled 5,677, an increase of 301 over the prior year. Ohio led the way with Indiana in close pursuit with 653. Transfers were completed for breeders in 42 states. Let the good times roll!
The Clydes were also on a roll, a smaller one, but a roll nonetheless. The largest turnout at an annual meeting, 225 people, heard Mrs. Betty Groves report the good news. President Parke Brown did an excellent job of chairing the meeting. Happy days are here again!
What was the premier sale of 25 years ago? There was no question about it. It was the 35th annual sale held in conjunction with the Spring Stallion Show in Indianapolis, Indiana, was, in many respects the epicenter of the great draft horse revival of that period. We will close this column with the pictures of the four champions and top-selling horses of that venue.

Paragon NTFS for MAC is a must-have for anyone using windows format external hard drives with their Macs! I've had it installed on my Macs since version 8 as far as I remember. When I was looking for windows NTFS drivers I tried some alternatives, some freeware but nothing compared to Paragon drives. I'm dead serious. Don't wait – just buy. Haven't tested HFS+ drivers yet because I don't use Mac drives with windows machines. But drivers for MAC rocks!

@ppub This is what it says on the Paragon Site: "Product Upgrade
Upgrade is a major program release (new version) featuring principal software improvements and new functionality. Upgrades are provided for any registered customers free of charge within one month after product purchase (except Special Promotions). " I have an email sent to the developer to get an answer.
