"I will accept your challenge then. Just remember though that if you try tricking me in anyway, Everyone in this... Assembly, will suffer."The one who Gun forced on the ground steps up and says: We can't let you tell where she is as long as you're not part of our assembly. We won't tell you even if you force us. I only give you this one chance: To fight with one of our warriors in a melee weapon match. Then we will accept you as a new member. But not like this, if you put your guns at us...

Negotiating stairs is one of the most difficult activities of daily living faced by older adults. Many researchers have studied the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal demands of stair ascent but there is little research on the biomechanics of stair descent. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanics of stair descent in older adults.

Keep updated with the lastest news from the barn preservation community.
NBA Goes on the Road to Savannah, GA!
Here we go again! NBA Board Members and state barn organization partners are volunteering their time and energy to continue the NBA's presence at the National Trust for Historic Preservation's annual conference. This year, the action is in Savannah, Georgia, where we connect with preservationists of all kinds to engage them in conversations about saving America's historic barns!
What does an urban landscape like Savannah have to offer barn lovers? We think the trip to the South has a lot of potential! The state of Georgia was one of the first to create an historic agricultural context to aid in the evaluation of farm properties for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Anyone can download a copy of this context, entitled Tilling the Earth, and learn more about the types of agriculture practiced historically in the state. Vernacular agricultural studies are also common about students at the Savannah College of Design (SCAD), one of the NTHP's local partners in conference activities.
Though we won't be able to bring any of our barn models south this year, we will bring our fabulous 2014 t-shirts with the catchy phrase: "Vernacular is Spectacular: Save Our Barns!" After the conference, these t-shirts will be up for sale to great friends like you – they are sure to make great stocking stuffers for any barn lover!
Until then, plan to swing by our booth if you're attending the NTHP conference and check out our hats, t-shirts, bumper stickers, and other helpful barn-preservation items to show your support for old barns!
Help NBA get the Barn Question back in the Ag Census!
Dear Barn Preservationist:
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is soliciting suggestions for changes to the Census of Agriculture. All submissions are time sensitive and must be received no later than September 30, 2014. Please help the NBA by lobbying the USDA using the following link to their public comment form! Each Comment Form asks for a name, address, email address and your affiliation. Please feel free to note an affiliation with the National Barn Alliance to show your support for historic barns!
If you aren't sure what to say, please feel free to cut and paste the text we have supplied below:
What new or additional information is needed?
For the first time in the history of the Census, the 2007 Census of Agriculture counted farms that had a barn 50 years or older. Unfortunately the 2012 Census of Agriculture did not have the barn question in it. We are advocating for the re-introduction of the question in the 2017 Census so that we can continue to monitor the numbers of farms that have an old barn on them and compare the new data to the 2007 Census. Please put the "Barn Question" back into the 2017 Census of Agriculture.
Why is the information needed?
Our nation's old historic barns are an important and irreplaceable historic resources on our landscape. We need to know how many there are and then determine their condition in order to develop programs to support their rehabilitation and re-use. In order to know how many there are, we need to count them. The USDA can and should be a part of this process of documenting the old barns on farms.
We believe that it is important to bring back the same question found on the 2007 Census of Agriculture and count the number of farms that have a barn 50 years or older across the USA. Fifty years is the threshold of age for beginning to consider a building's historical contributions to the past according to federal standards established by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Consider that at the height of family farms in America, over 26 million farms dotted the American landscape. Most had at least one historic barn. By the 2007 Census of Agriculture we had around 2 million farms and many did not have an old barn on them. The 2007 Census of Agriculture counted just over 650,000 farms with at least one older barn on it. The data was invaluable!
At what level is the information needed? (U.S., state, county)
At the national and state levels and on all questionnaires the USDA disseminates.
Who will use the information?
The American public, the National Barn Alliance, the 50 State Historic Preservation Offices, countless non-profit preservation organizations (statewide, regional, county, and local preservation advocacy organizations as well as barn preservation organizations, farmland, and rural conservation organizations across the country). And don't forget about future researchers interested in America's agricultural past!
Barn Again! in Indiana – September 19, 2014
This guest post by Raina Regan, a preservationist working hard to bring attention to barn preservation at Indiana Landmarks, the statewide "nonprofit organization, fighting to defend architecturally unique, historically significant, and communally cherished properties…" in Indiana. NBA is thrilled to see the dedication of those barn-loving Hoosiers! This Barn Again! workshop is not a new thing for Indiana Landmarks and they sure know how to do it right – don't miss out on this great event.
Although located directly east of metropolitan Indianapolis, Hancock County, Indiana is rich in agricultural heritage. Driving county roads, you'll find timber frame barns and steel silos dotting the slightly rolling landscape. This fall, don't miss Indiana Landmarks' BARN AGAIN! workshop in Hancock County to explore this historic community while learning about barn preservation.
This day long workshop on September 19 will provide practical solutions from experts on how to maintain, rehabilitate, and adapt old barns for today's needs. Participants will learn about the history and technology of barns as well as barn maintenance, adaptive reuse, and preservation. Rick Collins of Trillium Dell Timberworks will headline our workshop speakers. The workshop will also highlight a new Indiana law which offers a 100 percent property tax deduction for heritage barns not used for farming or business purposes.
The afternoon will include a tour of four barns in northern Hancock County, providing an opportunity to learn about the design, history, and rehabilitation of historic barns. The tour includes a stop at the award-winning, National Register-listed Frank Littleton Round Barn. The Littleton Round Barn dates from 1903 and is an impressive true circular barn with a 102' diameter. The barn was commissioned by Indianapolis attorney Frank Littleton, who called upon Benton Steele for the design. Steele had recently built the largest round barn in the state, a 100' diameter round barn for Littleton's rival, Congressman Wymond L. Beckett. As the story is told, Littleton had Steele build his barn just a little bit larger, for a total of 102 feet in diameter, so that he could beat out his rival. Constructed by Issac McNamee and Horace Duncan, the Littleton Round Barn still holds the title for largest round barn in the state of Indiana. We're excited to include the property on our barn tour to highlight this impressive structure which continues to function in an agricultural use.
Other barns on the tour include a depression-era Dairy Barn and an unusual transverse frame basement barn – featuring rusticated concrete blocks cast on site. Our fourth barn is a 19th century timber frame barn, which sits on an early Hancock County farm dating from the 1830s. The tour promises to highlight a wide variety of historic barn types, perfect for anyone passionate about agricultural heritage.
The BARN AGAIN! workshop will be held at NineStar Connect Conference Center, 2243 East Main Street, Greenfield, IN 46140. Cost for the day-long workshop is $45 and includes lectures, lunch, an informational packet, and the barn tour. There is a discounted price for members of Indiana Landmarks. The reservation deadline for the BARN AGAIN! workshop is September 15. Register online at barnagain2014.eventbrite.com or contact Indiana Landmarks at 800-450-4534. Questions? Contact Raina Regan, Community Preservation Specialist, 317-639-4534, firstname.lastname@example.com.
New Indiana Barn Foundation Hard at Work!
A passionate and motivated group of Hooisers have been working hard to establish a barn organization for the state of Indiana in recent months – and what great success they have had in such a short period of time. The first annual meeting of the Indiana Barn Foundation is coming up on July 12th and the group can already boast of supporting barn preservation legislation! Last month, members of the organization were in Indianapolis to witness Governor Pence sign Bill 1046–a law that allows for a property tax deduction on historic barns in Indiana. Way to go Hoosiers and congratulations to Indiana's historic barns!
We know great things are in store for this wonderful new barn preservation organization, and hope you will lend them your support in the effort. Below is a description of the group's purpose and goals taken from their website. Please share this information with anyone you think would be interested and encourage them to attend the meeting on July 12th at the Indiana state fairgrounds!
"Indiana Barn Foundation is being established to unite those of us who value the legacy of Hoosier farmers who have worked against the odds, often single-handedly and with no financial incentive, to maintain and preserve these landmarks. We see Indiana's historic barns as being an asset to Indiana's larger cultural heritage; an asset worth preserving by assisting our farmers who struggle to maintain them.
Our Proposal: We are establishing, in conjunction with several other organizations, a private, nonprofit 501c3 mechanism to provide grants to rehab historic Indiana barns. We expect to operate efficiently under the umbrella of the Indiana Barn Foundation, while enlisting the expertise and resources of the Indiana Farm Bureau, Indiana Landmarks, the National Barn Alliance and many other groups who will join us in this work.
To keep this work alive for future generations, we also foresee the Indiana Barn Foundation some day financing educational programs, producing workshops and educational materials, and surveying and documenting existing barns.
The effort to save Indiana barns will need the support and dedication of many people, and we invite you get involved in this exciting undertaking! We have the opportunity today to do more than despair at the disappearance of another Hoosier landmark. Indiana barns have stood as a silent testament to the hard work and resourcefulness of those who settled this grand land of ours. We have a responsibility to care for and preserve our heritage now, and for future generations."
It couldn't be said any better; kudos from the NBA to the Indiana Barn Foundation!
My Favorite Place by Amber Stutzman, Age 11
This guest post was uncovered by our Past President, Charles Leik, who has an knack for finding enchanting things about barns. It has been reprinted here by permission from the October 31, 2013 The Peoples Exchange, Shipshewana, IN and the author who lives on an nearby Indiana dairy farm. Thanks for sharing your article with the NBA, Amber!
At home, I have a favorite place. Our big creaky, old barn.
It has a mingling, musty, scent of aged wood, cows, grain, sweet alfalfa hay and scratchy old coiled rope.
The barn isn't too quiet, but it isn't too loud, either. The barn swallows' chirps, the young calves' bawling, the little kittens' meows, and the soft, whispering wind just outside join together in a perfect melody, and to me, the song of the outdoors is better than any choir or singing group anywhere. But, in addition, the barn has a nice, peaceful silence, one that is just right, and relaxing.
The barn has plenty of space where you can just lay there for a while, just thinking, seeing and breathing in everything. It has lots of spider webs, and warm sunlight pours onto the dusty floor through the holes in the creaky ancient wooden walls.
Sometimes I pack a little picnic lunch, and I'll eat it in the haymow, sharing teeny bits of bread, or meat with the kittens that are sitting by my feet begging and they'll start purring away like a little washing machine motor.
Inside the barn, an enormous pile of fresh grain fills the air with a pungent scent, that waves through the air filling every little nook and cranny. Children can play in the big pile for hours at a time, having the time of their life all the while. When they try to race up it, the grain crumples under their feet like sand, and every step they try to take up, they slide two steps down. Then, on the way down, instead of bothering with the grain burying their feet with every step they take, they just flop down, and make their way down as if it was a slide.
The barn is a masterpiece. There are very complicated patterns in the beams that are holding up the tall walls and high ceilings that are taller than a humongous old oak tree, like a puzzle, or a difficult crossword.
The barn was built so long ago that there aren't any nails in the gigantically tall, wooden beams and poles. Instead, there are wooden pegs in their place.
In the barn, square bales of luscious green hay stand, piled all the way up to the high roof. They fill the air with a sweet scent. The bales are scratchy, and give you splinters if you climb them.
The floorboards in the barn croak and moan, creak and groan under my feet as I walk across them. They are wooden and dusty and covered with wheat, and straw, and hay, and grain. Without them, I would not be able to go up into the hayloft. The planks are an important piece of the barn.
In the barn, we have lots of scratchy, stale rope. In the "olden days" it was used to swing loose hay across the barn. Now, you can use it to swing yourself across the barn! You grab it, climb up a couple of straw bales, and jump. You swing way to the other side of the barn, then back again, on and on, until the big swing across the barn dwindles down to a little swing for a few feet. Then you jump off, and start all over again, until you get tired, and you think that you are done swinging for the day.
The steel cow stanchions stand vacant, empty, spider webby, and dusty like an old abandoned lot. When you turn the old, almost antique latches, they click and then go "eeeeeee". The metal is always cool to the touch, even in the middle of the hottest summer.
The wooden calf stalls beside the stanchions are all full of young, bawling calves. The pens are stained with manure from calves of the past. Straw and sawdust, litter the cement floor, and the ground is dusty from the sawdust.
In the barn, silky spider webs hang thick. They are sticky, heavy, tangles of strong, webby, stringy lines. If you walk into them, they stick to your face, and if you try to pull them off, they cling to your finger like super glue. Spider webs make the barn look cozy.
In the barn the ceilings are tall. The filtered yellow plastic covering little of the roof lets in a few warm rays of summer. The rest of the roof is covered with aged rusty metal. When it rains, the drops leak through the many gaps and holes in the ceiling. Without the roof, the barn would be incomplete.
On the outside of the barn, there is a big cement hill leading to the haymow. The old splintery, wooden handrails at the sides are all falling off. The cement is dirty, weathered, and covered with patches of grass, weeds, and manure. The hill is hollow in the middle where we park our dirty smelly old manure spreader.
On the upper outside of the barn near the roof, there are white plastic letters that spell "THE OLD HOMESTEAD". The letters are clean, and whenever one of them falls down or gets damaged, we replace them. They are the pride of the barn.
The barn is nice and warm in the winter, and nice and cool in the summer. It blocks out the harsh winter winds, but lets in the summer breezes. The barn is absolutely huge, but not empty.
The barn is a sleepy haven for the animals. It is musty, dirty, and almost ancient, but they don't seem to care. They like the barn just the way it is, and so do I.
On the outside, the old peeling red paint on the barn is just enough for you to feel like you have been inside it about a million times, and that you have known it all your life. The barn is already over a hundred years old, and still, the rough weathered, sturdy wood stoutly, stands tall. The barn is my most favorite place in the world.
At home, I have a favorite place. Our big, creaky, old barn.
In Madison, New Hampshire – A Tour of 100 Year Old Barns
This post comes from our barn-loving friends in Madison, NH. This is the first year of their barn tour, but it will certainly not be their last! What a great event!
The Madison Historic Barn Tour weekend, July 11 & 12, 2014 is fast approaching. With seven wonderful old 18th and 19th century barns on the tour, including E.E. Cummings' Joy Farm, interest is growing rapidly. The small Town of Madison is located in the beautiful Mount Washington Valley of New Hampshire. Incorporated in 1852, Madison has a long and interesting history as a farming and tourist community.
Town tax records reveal that there are approximately 50 barns in Madison which are over 100 years old. The Friends of Madison Library (FOML), a 501(c)(3) non-profit supporting the local public library, has organized this weekend fundraiser (be sure to visit their website).
Barns on the tour, in addition to Joy Farm, include the Ambrose Barn built in the mid-1870s by then owner Henry Harriman with timbers from his neighbor's barn. Nearby is the Old Public Burying Ground where several of Madison's Revolutionary War soldiers are buried.
The Gilman Barn built circa 1795 as a working farm has been in the Gilman family since then. Built with wooden pegs and resting on a loose field stone foundation, Alan Gilman's barn is as "square" today as the day it was built. The large "Gilman Cemetery" across the street is the final resting place of generations of Madison residents, including the original owners of several of the Tour Barns.
The Henry Harmon place c 1850 may have been built earlier at Madison Corner, then moved by oxen to the open meadows of Goe Hill. A painting of this barn by Andrew Haines was recently on display at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
Come to Madison to see all seven tour barns. A list of the other forty plus Madison barns over 100 years old will be available for those who want to do more independent exploring. Directions to the numerous fascinating local cemeteries may lead you to find the resting places of former barn owners, or ancestors of your own. Pick up a copy of Mary Lucy's book Cemeteries and Graveyards of Madison, NH from the Madison Historical Society. Browse the Barn themed Art Show, purchase barn note cards and photo sketches, or place a bid on a photo or professional work of art in oil or watercolor at our Silent Auction.
Don't miss barn historian Bob Cottrell's talk and discussion of 18th and 19th century New England Barns on Friday night at the Madison Library. Bob has a Master's Degree from the Winterthur Program in Early American Culture. He has worked in the history/museum field since 1980. Previously, Bob worked at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., the Crowley Museum and Nature Center in Sarasota, Florida, the St. Petersburg Historical Museum also in Florida, the Conner Prairie Museum in Indiana and at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey. In 1996 he became the founding Director of the Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm in Tamworth, New Hampshire, another great place to visit while you are here. Bob's talk is included in the price of the Barn Tour.
At the southern end of the Mount Washington Valley, the village of Madison is just minutes away from numerous hotels, picturesque B&Bs, wonderful restaurants and the tranquility of our natural setting around Silver Lake. Make plans now to spend a day or two before or after the Barn Tour. Bring a blanket and buy a Barn Tour Bag Lunch to enjoy at one of our Town Beaches or in the garden at the Library.
Tickets on the weekend of the Tour will be $20 per person. Advanced tickets may be purchased before July 1, 2014 for $15 per person, payable by check to Friends of Madison Library at PO Box 240, Madison, NH 03849.
All proceeds of Barn Tour events benefit the non-profit Friends of Madison Library. For more information send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Friends of Ohio Barns' 15th Annual Conference
Bucks County Community College Sets Rural Stage for NBA's 2014 Winter Meeting!
This guest post comes from Patricia Fisher-Olsen, Coordinator of the Historic Preservation Program and lecturer at Bucks County Community College (BCCC) in eastern Pennsylvania. This year BCCC has agreed to host the NBA's Winter Meeting at their 200-acre Newtown campus where several of the school's NRHP-listed buildings have been re-adapted to serve as classrooms – enhancing the learning environment for all its visitors! From 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, Saturday, February 15th, the NBA's Winter Meeting is open to the public. We encourage any barn enthusiasts in the vicinity to join us as we learn more about barns in the region and what all the students at BCCC are doing to save them! The lecturers are free though small donations to help cover the cost of lunch are welcome.
In 1991, BCCC became the first school in the country to offer a 24-credit Certificate Program in Historic Preservation and since then the campus program has grown and expanded online, offering students the unique opportunity to complete their Historic Preservation Certificate entirely over the Internet. Students opting to take courses on our Newtown campus will find them immersed in a working preservation laboratory. Classes and lectures are taught in buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, surrounded by historic landscapes and formal gardens. Students opting to take courses through our online campus will find themselves immersed in the preservation laboratory of their own communities. The online courses are designed to leverage the historic resources in all areas of the country.
In 2008, Bucks students won the coveted National Parks Service/American Institute of Architects' Charles E. Peterson Prize, which annually recognizes the best set of measured drawings prepared to Historic American Building Survey (HABS) standards by college or university students. At BCCC, the HABS program operates as part of the institution's Historic Preservation Department. The program offers students the opportunity to measure and record the architectural details of historic structures as they exist today, before they are further altered by time, nature and people. By studying clues, such as the changes in mortar and other materials applied to a structure, HABS students document both a building's history and the history of the people who made the changes.
Since 1991, Bucks County Community College faculty member, Kathryn Auerbach, has led several teams of HABS students as they measured and documented historic structures here in Bucks County and across the country. The recorded findings of the students, many of whom have no previous architectural or building experience, have become part of the collection at the Library of Congress to be used for future research. The college competes for the best architectural measured drawings of a historic American structure in the Charles E. Peterson HABS Prize Competition sponsored by the National Park Service, the American Institute of Architects and the Library of Congress.
The yearly contest is highly competitive, with entries from architecture and design programs at nationally recognized universities. Several of BCCC subsequent HABS classes have gone on to secure a Honorable Mention, 4th place, 3rd place and even 1st place in the competition. In 2008, BCCC – the only community college entrant – won a highly coveted 1st place award for their work with the National Park Service on the Best Farm Stone Barn, located on the Monocacy Battlefield in Frederick, Maryland.
In Bucks County during the 1930's, many of the HABS projects involved old stone barns that were very prevalent in this part of the country. Today, thirty percent of the barns that were documented no longer exist. Without the HABS sets of measured drawings and photographs, no evidence would exist of some of Bucks County's beautiful stone barns, nor of the people who built and used them.
Students who participate in the HABS class at BCCC not only learn about historic architecture but also develop important problem-solving skills. Many of our HABS drawings will be on display during the National Barn Alliance Winter Meeting.
Reflecting on 2013: A President's Letter
December 23, 2013
Dear Barn Preservation Advocate:
Today I am writing to express my gratitude for your continued support of the National Barn Alliance (NBA) and to update you on the organization's 2013 activities. Now in my second term as President of the NBA, I reminded everyday of how much people love America's barns in the emails we receive, the pictures people share, and in the many comments exchanged through our social media. The character and charm of an old barn simply can't be beat!
This past year we partnered with the Department of Historic Preservation at the University of Mary Washington to host our Winter Meeting in Fredericksburg, VA, and heard from students in their Agricultural Preservation class, as well as Preservation graduate students from the University of Delaware's Center for Historic Architecture and Design, about the work being done at these institutions to document historic barns and study historic patterns of farming in the region. This past summer, NBA collaborated with the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation to join in their "Celebration of Barns" and hold our Annual Meeting in Old Saybrook, CT. Continuing our presence at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the NBA attended their annual conference in Indianapolis, IN, where we added countless names to our contact list and touched base with old and new friends. Each of these events helped expand our barn-loving network as well as our awareness of the actions leading barn preservation in various parts of the country.
At the Annual Meeting, we welcomed Gina Drew to the Board of Directors (BOD). Gina has been incredibly active on Restore Oregon's Heritage Barn Taskforce and has graciously taken on the position of Secretary within the NBA. A special election this month also added Sonja Ingram to the BOD. Sonja comes to us from Preservation Virginia's Tobacco Barns project and has been instrumental in that organization's efforts to celebrate tobacco culture and save the barns that reflect it. Both ladies are helping make 2014 look very bright for the NBA!
Another important step taken this year was to revise the NBA's Action Plan. Taking into account the results of our membership surveys and strategic planning sessions at the 2013 Winter Meeting, the BOD has outlined and refined a plan of action that builds upon many of the goals established in the previous version of 2009. We hope this revised Action Plan will guide us into another four years of success, as we continue to connect with state and local barn organizations and interested barn preservationists across the country! Also around with us since 2009, the NBA continues to strengthen our Teamwork and Timbers program by sending our two timber-frame barn models into classrooms in the Midwest and Eastern parts of the country. This year we gained a new friend and a New England barn model by partnering with Massachusetts timber-framer, Tom Musco. This is just one example of how we look to further expand the geographical and educational reach of these barns in 2014, as we believe they are incredible assets that leave lasting impacts on students of all ages.
But the time to act to save our barns and rural heritage has never been more evident. More barns disappear from our landscape every day as time and weather take their toll. I urge you to look around www.barnalliance.org and review the information that we are continually improving, and to engage the NBA through social media where increasing numbers reflect our growing influence and the growing interest many have in rural heritage preservation. We are on Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, and You Tube trying to spread the word about the benefits of barn and rural heritage preservation – please join in the conversation!
The success of our alliance depends on continued action to promote the documentation, preservation, and celebration of these surviving features of our rural heritage! Members in the NBA agree that historic barns occupy an iconic status in our culture and memory. Benefits of membership include unlimited access to barn preservation resources on our website and social media outlets, monthly e-newsletters, two printed NBA newsletters each year, and an open invitation to join in our sponsored and affiliated events including conferences, barn tours, and our 2014 Annual Membership Meeting to be held next June in upstate New York.
On behalf of the BOD and historic barns everywhere, I thank you for your interest in the NBA and I urge to join us in the effort to preserve our rural heritage in 2014. We just couldn't do it without the support of our members and barn-loving preservationists like you!
Danae Peckler, NBA President
The Future of America's Barns by Charles Leik
The following post contains excerpts from a 2012 presentation by Charles Leik, Past President, NBA. Charles led the NBA for more than five years and was around in the years when the NBA lobbied the USDA to ask farmers about their historic barns in the 2007 Agricultural Census. (NBA also thanks Rod Scott and countless others who worked on behalf of historic barns across the country to get the USDA's attention!)
What is a barn? For me a barn houses cattle and horses or stores grain, hay and straw, or is dedicated to tobacco or hops drying. Most of us think of barns as massive gambrel or gable structures to house livestock in winter. I do not include pole structures as barns when I think of preservation! I do believe that urban carriage houses that once contained a family's buggy horse and milk cow and are often highly refined Victorian structures, do qualify as barns.
What is America's barn population? There is no authoritative number even if all questionnaire respondents were to use a uniform definition for a barn. A 2007 USDA census of farmers and ranchers with more than $1,000 of farm income asked if they owned a barn built before 1960 (this would've excluded most pole structures). The results indicated 650,000 barns, however it excluded multiple barns on the same property, barns no longer located on farms, barns owned by non-farming landlords, and did not consider the condition of the barn. Fifteen percent of the questionnaires were not returned.
Allowing for the shortcomings mentioned above, Texas registered 51,000 barns, Missouri 36,000, Wisconsin 35,000, Kentucky 35,000 and Iowa 34,000. In terms of density per square mile it was Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Michigan was 13th in barn population with 21,368 and 14th in barn density at an average of one for every three square miles.
I find the USDA results unsatisfying given the barns excluded and lack of a uniform definition. Let me approach this question using U.S. census figures. There were 2.04 million farms at the advent of the Civil War in 1860 to a high of 6.5 million in 1920. Farms declined to 3.7 million in 1960 and 2.17 million in 2010. Assuming there is a pre-1960 barn, no matter the condition, on 75 % of the 2010 farms, I would guesstimate 1.5 million barns currently exist on farms.
Note that urban carriage houses or barns no longer on farms are excluded in the 1.5 million, and I believe they are a sizable number. The problem is that a good proportion of my 1.5 million barns on farms are in such a deteriorated condition that their eventual demise is certain.
I took a last approach, interesting but not statistically correct, and reviewed the barns I can recall since 1950 on 3-miles of Keefer Hwy., Portland where our family's Centennial Farm is located. In 1950 there were 12-barns of which 6-7 sheltered livestock and two of these were dairies.
Currently there are six barns—none in active farm use. I believe based on their condition that four will remain in 2030. So, 80-years after 1950 only one-third of this barn sample will exist.
I consider 1950 the "High Water Mark" of barn population. Probably most barns on the 6.5 million farms in 1920 still existed in 1950 and relatively few barns were built in the 25-year period after the farm depression of the early 1920s, the Great Depression of 1929 and the scarcities of WWII. My opinion is that six million barns existed in 1950, whether located on farms or not. Today, 62-years past the "High Water Mark", I'd offer for your consideration that approximately two-thirds of the 1950 barns are either gone or going down.
In conclusion I guesstimate that 1.5-2.0 million of pre-1960 barns in all locations exist today in a fair to good condition. That is the barn universe that we preservationists are attempting to save. 2050 is only 38-years in the future, what percentage of barns will remain a century after the "High Water Mark"? They say, "Those that gaze at crystal balls to divine the future will be condemned to eat glass". Nevertheless I'll venture that 20 % of the 1950 barns or 1.2 million will remain in a condition ranging from excellent to decrepit.
The romantic in me considers a barn as a trophy or heritage building whilst for others it's a "money pit" requiring too many squares of shingles or gallons of paint. My hope is that "scarcity makes the heart grow fonder"and barns in 2050 like covered bridges today will be generally revered.

i expect 3-4 QB's to go first round. Smith high, a surprise high(Probably Manuel), Nassib in the late 20's and maybe Barkley late first.
which could leave Glennon,Bray,Scott,Wilson to be had in the 3rd or later. which would be good value for us to pick up one of them.
if we could grab Glennon in the 3rd i would be stoked. not that i want Oz to fail or anything, but he would give Oz competition and allow us to have a potential trade chip in the future.
someone has to be dumb enough to fork over a Kevin Kolb type package if we draft and develop another QB right.

If there's one thing that fostering a kitten has taught me, it's that I need a new litter box. My current litter situation is rather dire, it seems, and between two full-size poop machines and tiny little one, I'm definitely feeling the need to upgrade. But, as some of you know, finding a litter box that's also tiny apartment-appropriate can be difficult. That's why I'm angling for this Circa50 litter box from Modernist Cat. The Circa50 has a sleek modern design, and is a fashionable way to hide a smelly litter box. Plus, it doubles as a little side table! Sure, it's a bit pricey, but you can't put a price on taking care of a kitty poop problem. [$479, Modernist Cat]

Late season mock draft
Free Agents
1. Max Jean Gills – Big (325 pound) guard/center from Philly. Gives the line some strength in the run game and is good pass protector. He doesn't have great mobility, but good enough for traps and ZBS action that we run
2. Stephen Neal (G) - McDaniels goes backs to the his roots and signs a player that knows the system and has the ability to shore up the left side for years to come. Would have gone Mankins, but I think NE resigns him
3. Richard Marshall – CB (CAR), We need a nickel back and Marshall is good bargain for Denver and can come in make some plays. Has the ability to line outside if needed
4. Benjamin Watson – TE (NE) – Scheffer gone and we need another TE that knows the system. Watson is the guy because of where he comes from.
2010 Draft Picks
1. Brian Price (JR) DT/DE – UCLA. Top notch player with great physical upside. Has great strength and ability to push the pocket while keeping his mobility. He not Suh, but he is dam close with his ability. Reminds me of Pryce or Seymour. Other Option R. McClain ILB Bama
2. Tyson Alualu – (SR) DE – CAL. Under the radar DE that knows the role of the 3/4 DE and can hold up against the run.
3. Devin Ross (SR)CB . Arizona – Kid knows how to make plays. PAC-10 honorable mention with good speed and knack for getting to the ball. He grows into Goodman type player.
Other option- Mike Johnson (rSR) G. Good sized guard (305) that plays with leverage and has the mobility to fit into this ZB/Power Trap system that Broncos are running. He looks like Kuper for larger school
4. John Skelton (SR) QB - Fordman Yes I know Orton has had a couple of good games and seems to be fitting into this system, but it long season and I still think the QB spot is a weakness. Skelton is a big smart QB that has the ability to make all the NFL throws has a quick release and can move. He needs good coaching but has a lot of potential. We see how he looks at the Senior Bowl against the "big" boys
5. None
6. Cam Thomas – (rSR) Big DT (325) that ability to get into the rotation with Fields and Baker. That would allow Nolan to move Thomas to DE and give Denver a very big athletic line. Needs to work on hand placement, but Butch Davis does have an eye for recruiting NFL talent.
7. Brandon Banks (JUOC JR) KR – Kansas State. Small Speed WR drafted to support the kick returns and punts. Total Special Teamer with the ability to take it to the house when he gets the ball.

Gunmen kill students in Kismayo town
Addis Ababa, 15 April 2014 (WIC) - Unknown gunmen shot and killed two pupils in the port town of Kismayo, Southern Somalia, on Monday morning. Residents of the port town told the media that the gunmen who had their faces masked opened fire to both students and died at the scene, according to AMISOM MON..
A female who was a passerby was injured also in the incident. No one has yet come forward to claim responsibility for the killings.
"They opened fire and escaped immediately… their ages is between 17-20,'' said a witnesser who requested not to be named because of security reasons. It's not yet clear what motivated the killings. Officials of Jubba Administration, which control the town haven't yet commented about the incident.
Security forces arrived at the scene after the gunmen had already fled.
The attack comes as Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed is on a tour visit to the city and met Jubba administration senior officials. Security of the town has been tightened since the Prime minister arrived last Saturday. Last month, two senior security officers of the Jubba administration were gunned down and Somali militant group al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the killing.

In pre-trials before beginning the published experiment, she had tested runners with an even-faster first mile. However, those runners became nauseous and/or excessively fatigued, and were unable to complete the 5-K. So it appears that 6 percent is both close to the outside limit for a fast first mile, and also the optimal pace for the first mile.
A significant finding was the apparent lack of physiologic distinction between the 6:25 first mile and the 6:38 first mile. "There was no added metabolic strain that we could find, despite the 13 second difference," says Gosztyla. The runners' vo2 maxes, heart rates, and so on were essentially the same under both conditions. As a result, both groups slowed about the same for the second mile. Since the fast group started from a faster pace, they were still running a faster pace during the second mile. At the end of 2 miles, they had built their advantage from 13 seconds to 17 seconds. They gave away a little in the last mile, but not much.
Kenefick says he was most surprised by the inability of the even-pace runners to pick up speed as they got closer to the finish. "It seems that this would have necessitated their running at a percent of their vo2 max that was too difficult for them to attain," he says.
Why do world-record holders do better with even-pace running? Because they are experienced at pushing right up against their max from the get-go, both Gosztyla and Kenefick agree, and also because they have very high lactate thresholds. "The results of this study are probably most applicable to competitive open division and master's division runners," says Kenefick. "Novice runners should stick to going out a little slower and gradually picking up the pace." The runners studied were Division 1 NCAA cross-country runners averaging about 35 miles a week in training.
At any rate, the go-out-fast method isn't likely to succeed at longer distances such as the half-marathon and marathon, both researchers say. At those distances, fuel supply, sweat loss, and body temperature become more important than first-mile pace, notes Kenefick. Adds Gosztyla: "If you go out fast in the longer distances, you're just wasting fuel."

Kenenisa Bekele, 12:37:35: 2:33.24, 2:32:23, 2:31.47, 2:30.59, 2:29.42
Meseret Defar, 14:24.53: 2:55.0, 2:52.7, 2:55.1, 2:56.3, 2:45.43
To figure your 6 percent faster first mile: First convert your best 5-K time to all seconds by multiplying the minutes by 60 and adding the seconds. Say, you've run 24:19. That would be 24 x 60, + 19 = 1459. Now divide this total by 3.1 (miles in 5-K) to get your average mile time in seconds (1459/3.1 = 470.6, or about 7:51 pace). Next multiply this figure by .94 to get a figure that's 6 percent faster (470.6 x .94 = 442.36). Now divide by 60 to return the figure to minutes:seconds (442.36/60 = 7:22). So you should aim to run your first mile in 7:22. Good luck!

The cuckoos are a family, Cuculidae, of near passerine birds. The order Cuculiformes, in addition to the cuckoos, also includes the turacos (family Musophagidae, sometimes treated as a separate order, Musophagiformes). Some zoologists and taxonomists have also included the unique Hoatzin in the Cuculiformes, but its taxonomy remains in dispute. The cuckoo family, in addition to those species named as such, also includes the roadrunners, koels, malkohas, couas, coucals and anis. The coucals and anis are sometimes separated as distinct families, the Centropodidae and Crotophagidae respectively.
The cuckoos are generally medium sized slender birds. The majority are arboreal, with a sizeable minority that are terrestrial. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, with the majority of species being tropical. Some species are migratory. The cuckoos feed on insects, insect larvae and a variety of other animals, as well as fruit. Many species are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other species, but the majority of species raise their own young.
Cuckoos are medium-sized birds that range in size from the Little Bronze Cuckoo, at 17 g and 15 cm (6 inches), to the Channel-billed Cuckoo, at 630 g (1.4 lbs) and 63 cm (25 inches).[1] There is generally little sexual dimorphism in size, but where it exists, it can be either the male or the female that is larger. One of the most important distinguishing features of the family are the feet, which are zygodactyl, meaning that the two inner toes point forward and the two outer backward. There are two basic body forms, arboreal species (like the Common Cuckoo) which are slender and have short tarsi, and terrestrial species (like the roadrunners) which are more heavy set and have long tarsi. Almost all species have long tails which are used for steering in terrestrial species and as a rudder during flight in the arboreal species. The wing shape also varies with lifestyle, with the more migratory species like the Black-billed Cuckoo possessing long narrow wings capable of strong direct flight, and the more terrestrial and sedentary cuckoos like the coucals and malkohas having shorter rounded wings and a more laboured gliding flight.
The subfamily Cuculinae are the brood-parasitic cuckoos of the Old World.[1] They tend to conform to the classic shape, with (usually) long tails, short legs, long narrow wings and an arboreal lifestyle. The largest species, the Channel-billed Cuckoo, also has the most outsized bill in the family, resembling that of a hornbill. The subfamily Phaenicophaeinae are the non-parasitic cuckoos of the Old World, and include the couas, malkohas, and ground-cuckoos. They are more terrestrial cuckoos, with strong and often long legs and short rounded wings. The subfamily typically has brighter plumage and brightly coloured bare skin around the eye. The coucals are another terrestrial subfamily of long tailed long legged and short winged cuckoos. They are large heavyset birds with the largest, the Greater Black Coucal, being around the same size as the Channel-billed Cuckoo. The subfamily Coccyzinae are arboreal and long tailed as well, with a number of large insular forms. The New World ground cuckoos are similar to the Asian ground-cuckoos in being long legged and terrestrial, and includes the long billed roadrunner, which can reach speeds of 30 km/h when chasing prey. The final subfamily are the atypical anis, which include the small clumsy anis and the larger Guira Cuckoo. The anis have massive bills and smooth glossy feathers.
The feathers of the cuckoos are generally soft, and often become waterlogged in heavy rain. Cuckoos often sun themselves after rain, and the anis hold their wings open in the manner of a vulture or cormorant while drying. There is considerable variation in the plumage exhibited by the family. Some species, particularly the brood parasites have cryptic plumage, whereas others have bright and elaborate plumage. This is particularly true of the Chrysococcyx or glossy cuckoos, which have iridescent plumage. Some cuckoos have a resemblance to hawks with barring on the underside; this apparently alarms potential hosts, allowing the female to access a host nest.[2] The young of some brood parasites are coloured so as to resemble the young of the host. For example, the Asian Koels breeding in India have black offspring to resemble their crow hosts, whereas in the Australian Koels the chicks are brown like the honeyeater hosts. Sexual dimorphism in plumage is uncommon in the cuckoos, being most common in the parasitic Old World species.
Cuckoo genera differ in the number of primary wing feathers as below.
The cuckoos have a cosmopolitan distribution, ranging across all the world's continents except Antarctica. They are absent from the south west of South America, the far north and north west of North America, and the driest areas of the Middle East and North Africa (although they occur there as passage migrants). They generally only occur as vagrants in the oceanic islands of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, but one species breeds on a number of Pacific islands and another is a winter migrant across much of the Pacific.[3]
The Cuculinae is the most widespread subfamily of cuckoos, and is distributed across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and Oceania. Amongst the Phaenicophaeinae cuckoos the malkohas and Asian ground-cuckoos are restricted to southern Asia, the couas are endemic to Madagascar and the Yellowbill widespread across Africa. The coucals are distributed from Africa through tropical Asia down into Australia and the Solomon Islands. The remaining three subfamilies have a New World distribution, all three are found in both North and South America. The Coccyzinae reaches the furthest north of the three subfamilies, breeding in Canada, whereas the anis reach as far north as Florida and the typical ground-cuckoos the south west United States.
For the cuckoos suitable habitat provides a source of food (principally insects and especially caterpillars) and a place to breed, for brood parasites the need is for suitable habitat for the host species. Cuckoos occur in a wide variety of habitats. The majority of species occur in forests and woodland, principally in the evergreen rainforests of the tropics. Some species inhabit or are even restricted to mangrove forests; these include the Little Bronze Cuckoo of Australia, some malkohas, coucals, and the aptly-named Mangrove Cuckoo of the New World. In addition to forests come species of cuckoo occupy more open environments; this can include even arid areas like deserts in the case of the Greater Roadrunner or the Pallid Cuckoo. Temperate migratory species like the Common Cuckoo inhabit a wide range of habitats in order to make maximum use of the potential brood hosts, from reed beds (where they parasitise Reed Warblers) to treeless moors (where they parasitise Meadow Pipits).
Most species of cuckoo are sedentary, but some undertake regular seasonal migrations and others undertake partial migrations over part of their range. The migration is diurnal, as in the Channel-billed Cuckoo, or nocturnal, as in the Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Species breeding at higher latitudes migrate to warmer climates during the winter due to food availability. The Long-tailed Koel, which breeds in New Zealand, flies to its wintering grounds in Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia, a feat described as "perhaps the most remarkable overwater migration of any land bird."[4] The Yellow-billed Cuckoo and Black-billed Cuckoo breed in North America and fly across the Caribbean Sea, a non-stop flight of 4000 km. Other long migration flights include the Lesser Cuckoo, which flies from Africa to India, and the Common Cuckoos of Europe, which fly non-stop over the Mediterranean Sea and Sahara Desert on their voyage to central Africa.[5] Within Africa 10 species make regular intra-continental migrations that are described as polarised; that is, they spend the non-breeding season in the tropical centre of the continent and move north and south to breed in the more arid and open savannah and deserts.[6] This is the same as the situation in the Neotropics, where no species have this migration pattern, or tropical Asia, where a single species does. 83% of the Australian species are partial migrants within Australia or travel to New Guinea and Indonesia after the breeding season.[7]
The cuckoos are for the most part solitary birds that seldom occur in pairs or groups. The biggest exception to this are the anis of the Americas, which have evolved cooperative breeding and other social behaviours. For the most part the cuckoos are also diurnal as opposed to nocturnal, but many species call at night (see below). The cuckoos are also generally a shy and retiring family, more often heard than seen. The exception to this are again the anis, which are often extremely confiding towards humans and other species.
Most cuckoos are insectivorous, and in particular are specialised in eating larger insects and caterpillars, including noxious hairy types avoided by other birds. They are unusual among birds in processing their prey prior to swallowing, rubbing it back and forth on hard objects such as branches and then crushing it with special bony plates in the back of the mouth.[8] They also take a wide range of other insects and animal prey. The lizard-cuckoos of the Caribbean have, in the relative absence of birds of prey, specialised in taking lizards. Larger, ground types such as coucals and roadrunners also feed variously on snakes, lizards, small rodents, and other birds, which they bludgeon with their strong bills. Ground species may employ different techniques to catch prey. A study of two coua species in Madagascar found that the Coquerel's Coua obtained prey by walking and gleaning on the forest floor, whereas the Red-capped Coua ran and pounced on prey. Both species also showed seasonal flexibility in prey and foraging techniques.[9] The parasitic cuckoos are generally not recorded as participating in mixed-species feeding flocks, although some studies in eastern Australia found several species participated in the non-breeding season, but were mobbed and unable to do so in the breeding season.[10] Ground-cuckoos of the genus Neomorphus are sometimes seen feeding in association with army ant swarms, although they are not obligate ant-followers as are some antbirds.[11] The anis are ground feeders that follow cattle and other large mammals when foraging; in a similar fashion to Cattle Egrets they snatch prey flushed by the cattle and enjoy higher foraging success rates in this way.[12]
Several koels, couas, and the Channel-billed Cuckoo feed mainly on fruit,[13] but they are not exclusively frugivores. The parasitic koels and Channel-billed Cuckoo in particular consume mainly fruit when raised by frugivore hosts such as the Australasian Figbird and Pied Currawong. Other species occasionally take fruit as well. Couas consume fruit in the dry season when prey is harder to find.[9]
The cuckoos are an extremely diverse group of birds with regards to breeding systems.[1] The majority of species are monogamous, but there are exceptions. The anis and the Guira Cuckoo lay their eggs in communal nests, although this behaviour is not completely cooperative; a female may remove others' eggs when laying hers.[14] Polyandry has been confirmed in the African Black Coucal and is suspected to occur in the other coucals, perhaps explaining the reversed sexual dimorphism in the group.[15] The majority of cuckoo species, including malkohas, couas, coucals, and roadrunners and most other American cuckoos, build their own nests, although a large minority engage in brood parasitism (see below). Most of these species nest in trees or bushes, but the coucals lay their eggs in nests on the ground or in low shrubs. Though on some occasions non-parasitic cuckoos parasitize other species, the parent still helps feed the chick.
Non-parasitic cuckoos, like most other non-passerines, lay white eggs, but many of the parasitic species lay coloured eggs to match those of their passerine hosts.
The young of all species are altricial. Non-parasitic cuckoos leave the nest before they can fly, and some New World species have the shortest incubation periods among birds.[14]
About 56 of the Old World species and 3 of the New World species are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other birds.[14] These species are obligate brood parasites, meaning that they only reproduce in this fashion. In addition to the above noted species, yet others sometimes engage in non-obligate brood parasitism, laying their eggs in the nests of members of their own species in addition to raising their own young. The best-known example is the European Common Cuckoo. The shells of the eggs of brood-parasites are usually thick.[16] They have two distinct layers with an outer chalky layer that is believed to provide resistance to cracking when the eggs are dropped in the host nest.[17] The cuckoo egg hatches earlier than the host's, and the cuckoo chick grows faster; in most cases the chick evicts the eggs or young of the host species. The chick has no time to learn this behavior, so it must be an instinct passed on genetically. The chick encourages the host to keep pace with its high growth rate with its rapid begging call[18] and the chick's open mouth which serves as a sign stimulus.[19]
Cuckoos have evolved various strategies for getting their egg into a host nest. Different species use different strategies based on host defensive strategies. Female cuckoos have evolved secretive and fast laying behaviors, but in some cases, males have been shown to lure host adults away from their nests so that the female can lay her egg in the nest.[18] Some host species may try to directly prevent cuckoos laying eggs in their nest in the first place – birds whose nests are at high risk of cuckoo-contamination are known to mob cuckoos to drive them out of the area.[20] Parasitic cuckoos are grouped into gentes, with each gens specializing in a particular host. There is some evidence that the gentes are genetically different from one another.
Female parasitic cuckoos sometimes specialize and lay eggs that closely resemble the eggs of their chosen host. This has been produced by natural selection, as some birds are able to distinguish cuckoo eggs from their own, leading to those eggs least like the host's being thrown out of the nest.[19] Parasitic cuckoos that show the highest levels of egg mimicry are those whose hosts exhibit high levels of egg rejection behavior.[21] Some hosts do not exhibit egg rejection behavior and the cuckoo eggs look very dissimilar from the host eggs. It has also been shown in a study of the European cuckoos that females will lay their egg in the nest of a host that has eggs that look similar to its own.[22] Other species of cuckoo lay "cryptic" eggs, which are dark in color when their hosts' eggs are light.[18] This is a trick to hide the egg from the host, and has evolved in cuckoos that parasitize hosts with dark, domed nests. Some adult parasitic cuckoos completely destroy the host's clutch if they reject the cuckoo egg.[18] In this case, raising the cuckoo chick is less of a cost than the alternative—total clutch destruction.
Cuckoos are often highly secretive and in many cases best known for their wide repertoire of calls. Calls are usually relatively simple, resembling whistles, flutes, or hiccups.[23] The calls are used in order to demonstrate ownership of a territory and to attract a mate. Within a species the calls are remarkably consistent across the range, even in species with very large ranges. This suggests, along with the fact that many species are not raised by their true parents, that the calls of cuckoos are innate and not learnt. Although cuckoos are diurnal, many species call at night.[14]
The cuckoo family gets its English and scientific names from the call of the Common Cuckoo, which is also familiar from cuckoo clocks. Some of the names of other species and genera are also derived from their calls, for example the koels of Asia and Australasia. In most cuckoos the calls are distinctive to particular species, and are useful for identification. Several cryptic species are best identified on the basis of their calls.

BWI club level questions....
We are staying at BWI for two nights in April. We have two children ages 6 and 4 that are very picky eaters. Toast and bagels only for breakfast and big time snackers. Anyhow, I priced out bumping up to CL at the BWI for two nights. It would be an additional 289.00 for those two nights. My questions are....
1.Is CL level worth it- would I spend 289.00 in two days for 4 people between 4 people for breakfast, snacks and drinks? I understand it does not include lunch and dinner?
2. How are the rooms St. view club level? Would I be able to have a balcony, view of epcot or maybe boardwalk? I do not want to pay CL for BWI with a view of the parking lot. Thanks for the help!

We love staying CL and find the value--food is not just the factor. At BWI, you will get a much better view in a CL room than a SV room. For that, the extra $145.00/night may be worth it to you. I don't think you will see the value in the food with a 4 and 6 year old that are picky eaters. Choose CL for the ammenties, location, convenience, then you won't feel that it was not a good value. Personally, I always find the value in CL--it enhances our vacation.

We've never stayed at BWI, but we have stayed CL at other resorts and we love CL for the convenience of the lounge and having somewhere to go and relax rather than sitting in the room or around the resort. The drinks and snacks throughout the day are nice, but it's not worth it, IMO, to stay CL just for that. I agree with the pp that if you stay CL for the amenities, location, convenience, etc., I think you will feel it's worth it; but if you book solely for the food offerings, I don't think the value is there. Good luck.

I just stayed BWI deluxe room club level and it was Amazing. The ease of breakfast in the am, the appetizers starting at 5 were delicious, the desserts were great. The great CM's that are at your beck and call. They loved my kids. The room was huge and the boardwalk view was priceless. PM me for any other info you need. CL btw is not like having a dining plan you get a typical continental breakfast, no hot food except some oatmeal. Cereal, bagels, danish, croissant, hard boiled eggs, milk, juice, choc milk, coffee tea, muffins, fresh fruit, the afternoon had sodas, coffee, tea, water, cookies, goldfish, chips 5-7 they had the appetizers, vegetable spring rolls, pork on a stick, salads, cheese, crackers, veggies, spinach pies, beer, soda, coffee, tea, dessersts 8-9ish brownies, keylime pies, cookies, tarts
we felt food wise we did not need to buy breakfast, had to buy lunch of course, appetizers before dinner were nice but you def cannot make a full meal out of the appetizers unless you eat an insane amt.

We have three boys, ages 6, 12 and 13. For us, the convenience of breakfast, snacks and coffee is huge - it's not just the actual value of the food consumed, but the value of the convenience. CL has such a positive impact on the pace of the morning because breakfast items are right down the hall. And I do love the fact that the snacks are more substantial and healthy than most available snacks in the park - cheese, fruit, veggies, hot appetizers. Your kids may not eat all of those items, but maybe some. Even our pickiest eater usually finds plain bagels or rolls to enjoy.
And at BWI, CL is very important to us - not only because of the wonderful CL CMs there and the warm welcome, but because there are currently no self-serve refill mug locations and the CS locations out on the Boardwalk are spread out. It's not like you have a central BC Marketplace or Captain Cook's. For that reason, CL is essential for us when staying at BWI. But our rule of thumb is that CL is worth about an extra $100 per night. The extra $145 is a little high, but if we were set on staying at BWI, it would still be worth the expense. Factor in convenience (huge!), the cost of breakfast, a couple glasses of wine, the reduced cost of dinner after we have appetizers, having juice, coffee and milk readily available all day, etc. - it can be a good investment.
Oh, and the view!!! At BWI, you can book a standard CL room and request a Boardwalk View!!! It's amazing to think that for the cost of standard CL, that beautiful view is possible. Of course, it's only a request and not guaranteed, but the alternative room assignment when you book standard CL provides some really nice views of the gardens.

Although the food offerings are more extensive at GF RPC, BWI is my favorite club level at WDW. You aren't going to get $289 worth of bagels and toast in two days but you will get an easy walk to the club room with the nicest staff at WDW. The homemade potato chips may be worth $289; I love those things!!!!
There are not that many club level rooms with Boardwalk views but I was lucky to get one in October. However, being close to the ESPN club meant a certain level of noise but it didn't bother me. I had courtyard view 2 weeks ago and it was still nice. I actually liked the balcony better because it was bigger and it was much quieter.
You can watch fireworks from the balcony in the club room itself.
I agree with the PP regarding CS/store locations at BWI. The club room makes it so much easier to grab a soda or a bottle of water for your room than hauling yourself down to the store. We always grabbed a couple of desserts or some of those chips to have in our room late evening.

It wasn't that I did anything else to put myself here. Again, situations. I knew this month was going to come around. I have been trying really hard to come up with a plan. I think I have one. I hope I have. We will see by next week. If not, I am f**ked.
Tina has written 3 entries about this goal
Well, not to be a Debbie Downer, but this little goal of mine is just plain hopeless. This time of year is when things start to go downhill anyhow. My electric bill will soon start to slowly increase more and more – electric heat – old house. My teenage son is, well, a teenager. One thing after another keeps popping up. Medications, tons of school related things, birthdays, and christmas will be coming up in no time.
Frickity Frack!
Down in a hole. Yeah, well that's me. Can't seem to climb out and it just keeps getting worse. I scrape by. Juggle bills. Soooo tired of this. It is hard to make a plan of action for this one. It is hard to cut back on little things when you had already cut the little things back long ago.
Not to get too deep in to my situation, but some things are hard to change. Medical, prescriptions, etc.
I have found myself overextending myself at times though, just because I hate being like this all of the time. The broke girlfriend, mom, friend, sister, daughter. Sorry, can't do that, get that, go there – can't afford it. So freakin tired of this.
I simply can not come up with a plan for this one. This one is another wait and see. Crap.
