Tubing the Day Away
Let's face it, kids have limitless energy that can sometimes be challenging for parents to harness. Even after hours of shredding on Baldy, playing on the "Bald Spot" terrain at the top of the hill and tackling runs from moguls to glades and Adventure Trails, many children are still not ready for the fun to end.
And let's face it, after hours of skiing on Baldy and trying to keep up with said kids, parents might need a bit of a break. Maybe even one of the famous Bloody Marys or a beer for après ski at River Run Lodge. A little live music and adult conversation might just hit the spot.
How to keep everyone happy? It's the Tubing Hill to the rescue! Every afternoon, beginning at 1 p.m. and running until 5 p.m., the young and the young at heart can get a ticket, grab a special inner tube sled and delight in an hour of taking some laps down the Tubing Hill, relocated his year to Baldy. Located to skier's left of Lower River Run and adjacent to the children's learning area, Kinderspielplatz, the Tubing Hill is a terrific way to get a little more out of your day.
On New Year's Eve, Matt jovially manned the base of the run, handing red and blue inner tubes to a child as young as three (accompanied by his dad), to two 17-year-old girls who announced they "loved" their ride after the first lap, to every age in between. At the top of the hill, accessed by the Magic Carpet and a gentle uphill walk, Mark helped launch the sledders down the curving slope, giving an extra spin or a little more speed when asked. Two local sisters, who hadn't skied that day, had come over to the hill simply to enjoy tubing. They were happily doing laps, sometimes sharing a tube (it goes faster that way), or driving their own.
Everyone loves to sled but the adults among us may not always love the hassle of driving to the right spot and repeatedly lugging children up steep hills. At the Tubing Hill, the Magic Carpet does the work and there is no need to drive anywhere. Brilliant!
Across the plaza, I am guessing the parents of some of those happy children, were enjoying Happy Hour at the bustling Lodge. The last "run" of the day for many vacationers and locals alike is Mahogany Ridge, the long, polished bar at River Run. Serving cocktails, beer, wine, soft drinks, coffee and hot chocolate drinks, it is a very popular gathering place and a great spot at which to compare notes, brag about runs and talk about just how amazing the skiing in Sun Valley is right now. And did I mention the legendary Bloody Marys?
It's all happening at the base of River Run. Happy, shrieking children sliding and spinning down the Tubing Hill; parents joining them for a few runs or gathering with friends at the Lodge to unwind and extend the day a bit longer.
Go check it out and slide into a happy New Year!

I have a Magnavox MWC24T5A TV/DVD/VCR combo set, made in 2005. The problem is, with the unit plugged in, there is a constant high-pitched whine coming from the back of the set (a cap, maybe?) and when you try to switch the unit on, nothing happens. The high-pitched whine starts as soon as you plug it in, then fades away within 6 seconds of unplugging the set. No clicks, no beeps, and the whine stays constant until unit is unplugged. No lights/indicators working, no picture, no sound, no response from any switch. Fuse is good. Any help/direction/suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks! |

Pregnant woman says she was kicked out of gym
CHARLESTON, SC (CNN Newsource) -- An expectant mom in South Carolina is up in arms after she says she was asked to leave the gym because she was violating the dress code.
Melissa Mantor, who is 18-weeks pregnant, says a staff member at Planet Fitness told her she needed to change her tank top, because she was violating the dress code.
"She said your belly's hanging out, and I said, Of course my belly's hanging out, Im obviously pregnant!"
Mantor canceled her membership after the incident.
In a statement, Planet Fitness' Director of Public Relations says their dress code prohibits "string tank tops and revealing clothing," among other items. He said the owner of the Planet Fitness where Mantor was a member will contact her to address the problem.

Hi Everyone....I need some advice. So this is my new house and as a first time homeowner I don't have a lot of extra money for updates. The cabinets are low grade quality and I want to replace eventually but not right away. The kitchen is small so I would like to take out the wall where the pantry and refrigerator is but I don't know how the layout would work then. What are your suggestions that will give more bang for the buck? I Don't want to spend more that $10K as this is not a full remodel just some updating to make it more my style. I like transitional style, light cabinets and counter tops, dark floors, and stainless steal (industrial handles). Thanks for any advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It actually looks like a pretty functional layout to me - especially with a pantry! The big thing you're missing is a landing spot by the fridge. It's quite a bit bigger than my kitchen. I think most here will recommend you live with it for a year or so, to figure out what works for you in the current layout and what doesn't, how you use the adjoining spaces, what your needs really are. What's on the other side of the fridge/pantry wall? A coat of paint, perhaps a new laminate countertop might make a world of difference! |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 10:14
We will need to know what is on the other side of the fridge wall...pictures would help as well. |
I'm with the others, live with it awhile. I think the layout is great, except no landing by the fridge, but not the worst thing in the world. A movable cart/mini island could help with that. I don't have a problem with white tile counters. Yours look in really good shape, including the grout. I wouldn't take those out for laminate. It looks like you might have enough cabinet space, although I don't know why they made them so short on top. |
Agree with everybody else. Just paint, and then put that 10K into permanent changes when you have a chance to live with things. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 11:52
moulding on the cabinet tops, different hardware, stainless steel accessories from IKEA (Grundtal). Also, do you think you may have space for a moveable SS steel cart? And different rug. |
Here is a link that might be useful: updating builder grade cabinets --- no painting
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 12:52
These "small updates" waste money because the materials can't be reused in the "real" project. I'd put a couple hundred dollars into paint and the $10K into the savings account for the real remodel. You could paint the cabinets a pale grey, add the industrial handles you like, and replace the appliances with stainless steel. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 13:20
If you want to take out walls, we'd need to see a floor plan and get some dimensions. With what you have...maybe replace your appliances with stainless steel. What do you think about changing the microwave to a vent and including the microwave with the oven stack? Hopefully, you can reuse these appliances, if you decide to do a larger remodel. If it were me, I'd have a long term plan of what I want/hope to do with the kitchen, so I'd know what will stay and what needs to move. I wouldn't want to buy something new and find out it won't work with the design, a year or two later.... |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 16:21
I agree with lazy gardens. To me 10k is alot to spend for a quick fix when a complete reno is on the horizon. For 10k I got all my cabinets, granite counters, and a hardwood floor. |
Your budget is 10k......on a kitchen where you want to replace the cabinets eventually...... I'd say buy a can of paint, paint the cabinets a grey or blue to break up all of the lightness and live with it. You're going to really find out what you love and what you hate about the kitchen. Then, down the road, use that 10k when you do your real remodel. Believe me, it'll be put to better use then then throwing it into a temporary update which is really throwing it away. The best advice I ever got was to live in a house for a year before you change anything.....sometimes that teaches you that certain things are done for a reason and if you change it you may wish you hadn't. |
Despite the colors you don't prefer, the teensy cabinets over the fridge (!), lack of lower drawers, etc. I still say hold off. Nothing is terrible, the layout is quite functional, and you'll be so happy to have $9,965 ($10,000 - a can of paint) to prime the pump on a total reno down the line. With better, more ergonomic cabinetry plus that lovely pantry, you may find that you don't really want more kitchen space after all. You may want the wall down for other reasons, but I'm not sure kitchen space is one of them. Live with it, use it, figure out what works and what drives you nuts, and then go for it when you have the money to do what you really want. P.S. I might add some knobs and/or pulls because lack thereof drives me nuts, but that's just me. |
I'm SO SORRY!! We must really be frustrating you telling you not to do it when you're looking to do something. HOWEVER.....look at it this way: Lots of people on here say "I really wanted the X but I got the Y b/c X wasn't in my budget." Not spending the 10 will get you your X's. Even the appliances, I would not touch b/c if you spend money to swap them out now, you won't get exactly what you want and then when it comes time to renovate you won't be abe to justify replacing them. If you live with the pantry, you may decide you can't live without one (and trust me, after living with that big pantry for awhile, you won't be able to live without it) and when you renovate you'll work a good sized pantry into the design. I don't know what pace you save at, but I'm sure keeping the 10k will get you to your dream kitchen ALOT sooner than spending it now. |
I agree with waiting. Actually, you may find with all the research and investigation, it will take almost a year to determine what you want and you can tweak along the way as you decide how you want the kitchen to function. That will also help establish what budget you need for the reno, which could involve more tweaks. Trust me time passes pretty quickly and you'll be more satisfied with your choices. I know I was. |

Usage Rates
Initial treatment
Maintenance Dose
Full instructions on label.
Hydra lake treatment gives you fast and effective results for lake algae removal. You should be able to see the results soon after the application. Broadcast the product as per the suggested "initial treatment" dose. Wait until blanket weed dies or turns grey after which it floats free on the water surface. You may now remove the dead lake blanket weed manually or leave as it is on the water surface. The dead weed sinks to the bottom eventually where it decomposes over time.
Some stubborn growth of blanket weed may require re-treatment. Re-apply Hydra Lake Clear on such difficult patches after one week.
Note: Wait for 5 days after the treatment before using the water to irrigate greens.
Hydra Lake Clear is a special formulation for lake weed control that removes slime, string algae and blanket weed in lakes or other large bodies of water. It is a favoured product of various ground keepers including those taking care of fishing lakes, stately homes, golf courses, leisure parks, angling clubs and boat docks.
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price | No |
What quantity would be sufficient to treat a small lake, 80 x 50metres, 30cm deep? Thanks Ben
According to the dimension provided, area of your lake is approximately 4000sq.m.
So, 25kg-50kg Hydra Lake Clear would be sufficient to treat your pond.
Is the water treated with Hydra Lake Clear safe for birds, fish and visiting animals?
Yes, Hydra Lake Clear treatment is safe on fish, reptiles, birds, mammals, animals and water plants. However, use the treated water for irrigation purposes after five days of product application.
How many days does Hydra Lake Clear take to show any visible effect on the blanket weed?
Unlike the traditional barley straw method to remove blanket weed, Hydra Lake Clear works instantly on the blanket weed causing it to die and float free on the water surface. Free floating blanket weed could be easily removed manually or left to sink and decompose at the bottom of the lake.
Is it safe to use Hydra Lake Clear repeatedly, as blanket weed is a known to reappear even after treatment?
Components of Hydra Lake Clear include natural minerals and sequestrates that are completely bio degradable. Hydra Lake Clear is non toxic. Therefore it is safe to use the product frequently. Once the blanket weed disappears you can continue with the low monthly maintenance dose to prevent re-appearance of blanket weed. Please follow the instruction for dosage rate. It is important to calculate the correct product amount required for treatment according to the expanse of the water body.

CHARLOTTE, NC (September 16, 2013) -- Because only the strongest wear the colors of the U.S. Army, and because the Army Soldiers they represent possess a mental, emotional and physical strength like no other, there's no one who follows the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series who doubts the U.S. Army Top Fuel driver duo of Tony "The Sarge" Schumacher and Antron Brown will be right in the thick of things when this year's Countdown to the Championship comes to a conclusion five events hence.
For now, though, Schumacher, who is chasing his eighth career Top Fuel title in his U.S. Army Dragster for Don Schumacher Racing (DSR), and Brown, the defending and still reigning Top Fuel champion in his Matco Tools/U.S. Army Dragster for DSR, are perhaps the most anxious among all their peers to get back to racing next weekend after both endured rough starts to this year's Countdown playoffs during this weekend's sixth annual NHRA Carolina Nationals at zMAX Dragway near Charlotte, N.C.
Schumacher logged solid qualifying efforts Friday and Saturday and started Sunday in the No. 2 position feeling ready to exhibit the championship form he and his U.S. Army team had become known for over the past decade. But his first-round matchup against No. 15 qualifier Leah Pruett was over almost before it started as the seven-time champion smoked his tires as he left the starting line and coasted across the finish line in 7.458 seconds at 85.94 mph. Pruett took the first-round win with a run of 3.854 seconds at 316.42 mph.
"We just have had absolutely horrendous luck," said Schumacher, who was among five of this year's 10 Countdown finalists to get knocked out in the opening round today, including points leader Shaun Langdon of Al-Anabi Racing. "You go out and run really fast in qualifying, and then you get to race day and it doesn't get down the racetrack. We're almost inclined to test tomorrow, but how do you test luck? We know how to get down the racetrack. We go fast, we qualified well. We can't test Sunday issues on Monday morning, so we've got to go out and do what we know how to do. Maybe somebody wants to see a great comeback out of this team. We'll have to see what happens. We've done it many times. Unfortunately, the door was wide open. We were chomping at the bit and didn't have a very difficult path to get there. We could've taken the points lead just by winning two rounds. But a lot of guys went out, too. If it was that easy, they wouldn't have. We all got caught off-guard and it was just unfortunate.
"You know," Schumacher continued, "the Army is the strength of the Nation, and the Soldiers are the strength of our Army. This Army-NHRA partnership provides Americans a platform to experience the power, speed, teamwork and technology that drives that strength. We plan to get past this and put ourselves in position to win the championship."
Brown, meanwhile, did see his defense of his 2012 world championship end before it started this weekend as, for the first time since the 2008 season finale at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, Calif., he failed to qualify for Sunday's elimination rounds. It ended Brown's streak of 110 consecutive events for which he had qualified prior to this weekend.
DSR teammate Spencer Massey, who began the Countdown seeded second, advanced to today's final round and assumed the points lead despite getting edged at the finish by Morgan Lucas.

Chief Yahoo Marissa Mayer recently ruled that there will be no more working remotely for the company's thousands of employees. (Scuttlebutt suggests the decision was due to slacking and flakiness.) Well, it seems word has now trickled out to Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group and prominent Caribbean island owner, and he does not approve.
Mr. Branson took to his blog yesterday to voice his disapproval of Ms. Mayer's ruling. But it was really more of an advertisement for the cultural virtues of Virgin than anything else, actually:
We like to give people the freedom to work where they want, safe in the knowledge that they have the drive and expertise to perform excellently, whether they at their desk or in their kitchen. Yours truly has never worked out of an office, and never will.
So it was perplexing to see Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer tell employees who work remotely to relocate to company facilities. This seems a backwards step in an age when remote working is easier and more effective than ever.
Besides, how else are you supposed to spend time at your private tropical paradise?

This is the final installment in my series on the Fantasy Football Playoffs Boom or Bust teams or players and it is one of the most difficult to do. All season long we have had guys score who shouldn't have etc..(Brian Hartline in Week 4 against Arizona) and we have seen guys who put up monstrous numbers when they have been in decline in recent seasons etc..(Andre Johnson in Weeks 11 and 12). Also the vaunted Madden Curse has been officially broken thanks to the incredible Calvin Johnson's cartoonish numbers in the past 3 weeks. Sure, we have seen some busts but they appear to have been simple to spot etc..(Larry Fitzgerald due to poor Quarterbacking) and (Greg Jennings due to injury) but for the most part with WR's you got what you drafted back in August/September. If you have prepared for your Fantasy Season properly you have had at least moderate success. One of the faults a Fantasy Owner can make is to draft solely on the strength of schedule when the Fantasy Playoffs roll around because they may not have made the dance. A balanced lineup more often than not will be a successful one as opposed to riding the coattails of a few stars and a bunch of role players. Listed below are players who have favorable and unfavorable matchups for most of your Fantasy Playoff weeks (14, 15 and 16)
FAVORABLE SCHEDULES FOR WIDE RECEIVERS (Week 14)
1. Victor Cruz/Hakeem Nicks-Let the Salsa dancing begin during Fantasy Playoffs Week 1. Cruz and Nicks get the best overall matchup against the pitiful Saints secondary that couldn't slow down a Pop Warner team's passing attack. The Giants are coming off an unspectacular loss to the Redskins who just happen to have the 31st ranked pass defense and this week they challenge the 30th ranked New Orleans pass defense. Expect Giants QB Eli Manning to elevate from his funk because he's in the thick of an NFL playoff hunt.
2. Andre Johnson-Johnson should have a ample yards and perhaps score a couple times against the swiss cheese secondary of the New England Patriots who have adopted a mantra of "defense schmeefense" for the last few years. The Pats are again leading the NFL in points scored and they know if they put up the points they know they can, then they'll win. The Texans have the best record in the AFC and won't sit idly by. Expect Matt Schaub to launch a few passes in the direction of Andre Johnson who can be uncover-able at times anyway.
3. Reggie Wayne-Wayne did it with Manning, now he does it with Luck. What does he do, you say? He continues to put up big Fantasy numbers by being one of the best route runners to ever have played the game. After the spirited comeback against the Lions in Week 13, the Colts get a much easier game versus the Titans. Rookie QB Andrew Luck and Wayne have a kind of symbiotic relationship and that should be brought out again this weekend against the very soft Titans secondary. Expect Wayne to score and put up big yardage.
UNFAVORABLE SCHEDULE FOR WIDE RECEIVERS (Week 14)
1. Golden Tate-Tate has had a very infamous year. First, he caught one of the most disputed and debated game winning touchdown passes against the Packers back in Week 3, then he cuts out the hearts of the Bears in Week 13 on a slashing TD catch and run. Well OK, the Bears tied the game but lost in OT. The Seahawks played the Cardinals back in a Week 1 divisional slugfest but the Cardinals pass defense wasn't as tight as it is currently. Expect the Cards secondary to clamp down on all the Seattle receivers and keep the game low scoring to the delight of the NFL purist.
2. Cecil Shorts-If any of you had ever heard of Cecil Shorts besides his mother please speak now. Shorts has burst onto the NFL scene with an impressive array of athleticism and skill. He almost single handedly revitalized the passing game of the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars throughout the year. In the last few weeks Justin Blackmon and Shorts have combined into a two headed monster to keep the Jags competitive in most games. This week that trend may come to a screeching halt as the Jags have a tough matchup with the Jets pass defense who is ranked 4th. Shorts is the number 1 target for both QB Chad Henne and also the Jets secondary. Worlds will collide.
3. Larry Fitzgerald-Poor Larry. How can such a talent go to waste? You can put him out on the field each week watching the anemic Arizona Cardinals offense flail around in dark like a worm on a hook. It's so bad that Fitzgerald has time enough to finish a Master's Degree in between plays. He isn't seeing the ball as it is and this week the Cardinals have to travel to Seattle for a date with the 5th ranked Seahawks pass defense. By now, you are probably sitting Fitz anyway, but his production this week will most likely suck (no thanks to him).
FAVORABLE SCHEDULES FOR WIDE RECEIVERS (Week 15)
1. Lance Moore-Why would I pick Moore over Colston you ask? Well, Colston is more dangerous and their opponent this week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will pay more heed to Colston and TE Jimmy Graham. Moore is the definition of possession receiver with great hands, sharp cuts, and open field smarts. He is more apt to blend in to a game than take over it but at the end he gets the best statistics. The Bucs have the worst pass defense in the league and they'll struggle to squeeze out the Saints offensive arsenal.
2. Vincent Jackson-The Buccaneers get the pleasure of playing the Saints this week and should reap the rewards on the stats sheet. Jackson has to elevate his game from the depths of inconsistency that he remains plagued with. Tampa is right in the thick of things for a potential playoff spot so this game will be crucial. You know Saints QB Drew Brees will be aching to atone for his dismal 5 INT performance last week so he'll be raring to go. Jackson must exploit the Saints D in order to help the Bucs playoff chances.
3. Brian Hartline-Hartline has still had his best statistical season even after being a virtual non-factor in most games since his 253 yards performance versus the Cardinals back in Week 4. After a couple of tough games with the Niners and Patriots, the Fins draw the a decent matchup against the Jags who are ranked 28th in the league in pass defense. Hartline will find open areas of the field against a team that is giving up 7.8 yards per completion to opposing receivers.
UNFAVORABLE SCHEDULES FOR WIDE RECEIVERS (Week 15)
1. Dez Bryant-This is one I mulled over but in the end I decided to roll with. Bryant will draw the Pittsburgh Steelers double team in the Week 15 matchup. A season ending injury to Ike Taylor makes it a bit more tricky to lock down Bryant but the Steelers have always had a "next man up" philosophy that they employ to great success. I can see Jason Witten having a decent game but the Steelers number 1 pass defense won't allow Dez to beat them.
2. Stevie Johnson-The Bills have a very tough go of it in a Week 15 tilt with the Seahawks. As of the writing of this article there is an appeal of a suspension for Adderall to two of Seattle's main cogs in secondary (Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman). If both of these guys are in the lineup, it would be wise to sit Johnson. Johnson normally has his best game against Darelle Revis but Revis is one man not an entire secondary like the Seahawks put out on the field.
3. Torrey Smith-In a battle of AFC Heavyweights, not you Paul Soliai and Vince Wilfork, the Broncos tangle with the Ravens. This is going to be a huge game with Playoff implications in real life and in Fantasy Football. The Broncos have one of the most cerebral Cornerbacks ever in Champ Bailey and he undercuts thrown balls like few others can. The main threat for the Ravens is Torrey Smith as he can blow the top off the defense with one shake of his hips. He'll draw the tightest coverage and they'll dare Ravens QB Joe Flacco to beat them underneath with throws to his second target Anquan Boldin.
FAVORABLE SCHEDULES FOR WIDE RECEIVERS (Week 16)
1. Dez Bryant-Can the proverbial underachiever bring you to your Fantasy Football title? You bet he can. Bryant goes from having the toughest Semifinal matchup to the best overall Super Bowl matchup you could get. If he cuts down on the concentration drops that have plagued him all year, he should have a masterful performance against the Saints secondary who have given up almost 1 pass of 40+ yards per game. Bryant is a must start.
2. Cecil Shorts-Here is another intriguing guy who conceivably could vault you over the top when it matters most. It is highly likely that their opponents, the Patriots jump out to a commanding lead which will force the Jags to throw and throw some more. Shorts has been a beneficiary of a ton of targets in the Jacksonville passing offense and that should be no different in Week 16. He is a must start if healthy.
3. Wes Welker-Welker is a must start every game anyway in the supersonic Patriots offense but he has a great matchup in your Super Bowl against the Jags. With injuries to Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, QB Tom Brady will look to disperse his intended targets to his reliable receivers and Welker is the most reliable of them all. Expect Welker and Pats to bust out of the gate early and then cruise home.
UNFAVORABLE SCHEDULES FOR WIDE RECEIVERS (Week 16)
1. A.J Green-Of course I would never say to sit Green because he is a Top 3 NFL receiver but he had a really tough game with the Steelers back in Week 7 and he won't find his Week 16 tilt with those same Steelers to be all sunshine and roses this time either. He had 1 catch for 8 yards but the catch was a TD. Expect the Steelers to blanket Green with at least two if not three guys all game. This game has the potential to have major NFL playoff implications so expect a low scoring typical AFC North slobberknocker.
2. Larry Fitzgerald-The Cardinals draw the ball-hawking Chicago Bears in Week 16. Fully expect Kevin Kolb to be back throwing the ball to Cardinals receivers but don't expect much production out of Fitz. Chicago DB's Charles Tillman and company won't let Fitzgerald out of their sights. Obviously Fitzgerald should see a few more targets than normal but the Bears bait QB's into questionable throws and Kolb is prone to the questionable throw. If you have other options and I bet you do, use one.
3. Jeremy Maclin-With QB Michael Vick shut down for the rest of the season, the Eagles handed the reins to Rookie QB Nick Foles who isn't exactly providing a soothing presence for the extremely critical Eagles fans worldwide. The Eagles have a superb matchup in Week 16 against the Washington Redskins but they haven't been able to get the ball in the hands of the dynamic Maclin yet, so why then? It would be an awful crapshoot to bank your Fantasy season on the inconsistency of Maclin so if you can play another option I would advise to do so.

Cat Power goes 'synthesizery' as she heads to Showbox SoDo
Singer-songwriter Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, at Showbox SoDo. Her new album, "Sun," is more "synthesizery" than what we've heard from her before.
Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, is known as a singer-songwriter of everything from indie rock to Delta blues, sung with the soft side of her voice. After a string of cover songs, the new album "Sun" is a statement of independence. She played every instrument on it, and wrote and recorded it herself. It's more "synthesizery" than what we've heard from her before, borrowing lyrics from rappers and drums from machines. Cat Power performs at 8 p.m. Saturday at Showbox SoDo, 1700 First Ave. S., Seattle; $29.50-$35 (888-929-7849 or www.showboxonline.com).

Kids Put the 'Rad' in Colorado
Accompanied by his own former "shelter dog", Sky, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a bill into law last week naming animals adopted from shelters Colorado's official "state pet." Colorado is the first state to distinguish—and promote the adoption of—animals from shelters in this way.
The law was spearheaded by students at Peakview School in Walsenburg and Rooney Ranch Elementary school in Lakewood as part of a school project to learn about the legislative process. Kids attended a Senate committee hearing to testify in favor of the bill. One legislator's rescued dog, Angus, also took part.
At the hearing, 14-year-old Peakview student Roger Arellano reminded legislators that raising awareness about the need to adopt animals from shelters is "a matter of life and death."
In recognition of their achievement, PETA Kids has honored students at both schools with Compassionate Kids awards, and we've also sent thank-you notes and vegan chocolates to the bill's sponsors as well as the governor.

After five previous losses, #Steve Carell# will finally win his first Emmy Award for his last season on "The Office," according to early predictions by Gold Derby's editors and site users making forecasts immediately after nominations were unveiled.
One hundred percent of Gold Derby's editors and 81% of site users say Carell will triumph on Sept. 18. Only 12% of site users believe last year's champ Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory") will repeat and only 4% say past victor Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock") will rebound.
So far, editors and users disagree on only two races out of 20. Editors pick Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men") to win Best Drama Actress, while site users back #Julianna Margulies# ("The Good Wife"). Editors say "Deadliest Catch" will prevail as Best Reality Program; users opt for past winner "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List."
The forecast of Moss is significant because "Mad Men" -- which has won Best Drama Series three years in a row -- has never claimed an acting Emmy. Now it looks like it might win two, including Best Drama Actor, since editors and users agree that Jon Hamm will finally triumph. Both pundit groups pick "Mad Men" to win for a fourth time, which has been accomplished in the past only by three other dramas: "The West Wing," "L.A. Law" and "Hill Street Blues."
Editors and site users also agree on these categories below and more. See full breakdown here.
Best Comedy Series: "Modern Family"
Best Comedy Actress: Laura Linney ("The Big C")
Best Supporting Actor: Ty Burrell ("Modern Family")
Best Supporting Actress: Betty White ("Hot in Cleveland")
Best Drama Series: "Mad Men"
Best Drama Actor: Jon Hamm ("Mad Men")

When people think of Fantasy, usually the first thing that comes to mind are swords and sorcery, dragons, monsters, evil empires – you know the usual. In fact, pick up most RPG game set in a Fantasy world pretty rely on this trope to build their story and characters. But here is a question that I'd like to put forward to you all – can Fantasy deal with real life issues? Can you have a story that deals with problems like, for example, family problems? Lost love? Lack of direction in life? Or maybe just something basic like trying to fit in with the in crowd?
I believe that the best Fantasy stories aren't loved because of how fantastical and magical they are (although that does play a part) but how BELIEVEABLE they are in terms of their story and characters, because it helps us relate to the characters much easier if they go through the same problems as we all do.
In actual fact, Fantasy has included a lot of real-life issues in it over the years if you look carefully at them. Take the Harry Potter series for instance. That intercuts the idea of magic and mixes it with the idea of going through school life, and the stresses and challenges it can present. Though I'm not a fan of Harry Potter, I must concede that this is a brilliant idea and one that a lot of children can relate to – the magic element just adds a whiff of imagination and the Voldermort story serves as the main challenge Harry must overcome.
Another example of real life issues in a Fantasy context is the Spider-Man movies/comics. That is a coming of age story about a teenager (who is by all accounts a loner and very unpopular) who learns about power and responsibility. But even though he has great abilities that can help him fight villains, he still has his own problems to deal with – also adding to the fact that some people hate Spider-Man, despite the good he does, it's a real life lesson and shows the reader that sometimes you have to make tough choices for the greater good. And when you add into the mix the amount of people who have died thanks to Spider-Man (Uncle Ben, Captain Stacy, Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborne to name a few), the pressures of life can really get to Peter Parker, making for a rather depressing story on occasions!
I personally love it when a story (Fantasy, Sci-Fi or otherwise) puts in real drama into the piece and makes the characters more than just the usual archetypes. So many Fantasy stories I've read just seem to go with traditional tropes and go with the idea that the characters should only perform their duty within the plot. But by adding in real issues and needs that the everyday human has can certainly do it's bit to help the audience appreciate and support your characters. I always try and add in some real issues to my Draconica novels and usually my books have an underlining theme to them that is relative to the real world. Trapped on Draconica had an underlining theme of friendship and that no one was above redemption. In future books, I intend to focus on the theme of family and the bond between mother and child – and in a future book it will be a kind of social commentary on the effects of war on the families of the soldiers fighting for it.
I'm not saying that stories have to necessarily be "Authors Tracts" (which TV Tropes list as basically an author using a story to put their own belief systems across rather than tell a story), but taking inspiration from real world issues can be a powerful writing tool and give your story a more accessible hook and will entice your readers in. This will help them accept the characters as they are and even become emotionally invested in them. As such, they will suffer the same pains as them and revel in the same joys that they do.
A couple more examples I'd like to use to show that Fantasy can be used for real life stories. In Lord of the Rings, the best character is (in my opinion) Sméagol/Gollum. Corrupted by the ring, he is as treacherous as they come, but he is also so sad and tragic a character that we both hate and feel sorry for him at the same time. Gollum can be considered a metaphor for drug abuse, in the sense that he needs "the precious" ring in order to be happy, but at the same time he wants to do good, but keeps slipping into his wicked ways. His character is a mixture of humour, treachery and heart wrenching sadness – all perfectly captured by Andy Serkis in the films. The Hobbit film's best scene by far is when Bilbo meets Gollum for the first time and I actually remember a few in the audience being moved to tears by the performance. Much like a drug user, he isn't a bad person per say, but he is forced to do bad things due to his desire to be with the thing he needs the most. He's not a villain in my eyes, but a victim.
One final example I want to use is Robert Baratheon from the A Song of Fire and Ice novels and the Game of Thrones TV series. I actually find Robert Baratheon one of the most interesting and tragic characters in the book that I wish could have got more mileage in the story in some way. Robert is king of the Seven Kingdoms and is generally a good king (despite making some poor choices), but is quite a tragic character that has let himself go considerably. In his youth, he was a strong, handsome man that had a great sense of humour and a knack for battle – but in recent years he has become fat and lazy, often doing little more than eating, getting drunk and screwing women. But behind all this is a sad, tragic man that is still pining for his lost love, the sister of Ned Stark whom he loved from afar and lost during the rebellion that won him the throne. Though he defeated the Mad King and brought peace to the land, he is forever haunted by the fact that he can never been with the woman he loved. It's a good character trait in the sense that he has to deal with his own problems – whilst at the same time dealing with the stress of running the kingdoms.
So, in answer to my earlier questions, yes I do believe that Fantasy can deal with real issues beyond the usual "good and evil" trope and can help create interesting and believable characters for the reasons I've listed above. If you need further proof, check out the writings of Mysti Parker – she writes a lot of stuff in a Fantasy setting, but the characters still have real life needs and desires. She has a couple of books out already so be sure to check them out.
Hope you enjoyed reading this, please feel free to leave a comment below if you agreed or disagreed with me; or if you have any other examples I might have missed.

"Why should I bother?"
This is a phrase that I know EVERYONE has said in their life – and certainly I know that many authors have said at one time in their life. Writing can be fun, there's no doubt about that – but it can also be really depressing at times. Especially if things don't go your way.
I won't lie to you, there are times when even I get depressed about the way my writing is going. There are times when I see other authors get a huge following and sales and I feel a little bit of jealousy creep up within me. Not that I mean to be spiteful and, in truth, I have complete respect for any author that can gain a strong following and reputation, regardless of genre. But there are times when I think to myself "what are they doing that I'm not?" That being said, I always do my best to promote indie authors wherever I can and will always do that. I really have no right to be jealous of these authors as they are doing what they enjoy doing and I can respect that. But I can get down at times. And recent events have really put a downer on me.
Over the summer, I busted my ass off to try and promote my book – deciding I was not gonna sit back and let it go unnoticed. So I plugged my book wherever I could, doing conventions, talks and even blogs. For the first couple of months of summer, I actually did really well, selling tons of paperbacks at conventions, selling more to Waterstones and even doing the talk at my old school. For these months I was buzzing, and when I started writing more stories I felt like I was on top of the world...
But then, real life kicked in.
For the last couple of months, things have come to a complete standstill. Work commitments, delays with artwork and other things seem to have conspired against me to stop me doing anything creative. Lately, I just haven't had the motivation to do any writing at all. This also means that I've not had time to promote my work as much as I used to, so sales have kinda ground to a stop.
It seems that lately I've been fighting a losing battle with my book, and with the lack of motivation draining me, I did actually think "you know what, screw it! I'm gonna give up!" And that was something that I NEVER thought I'd say. So I was all ready to pack up my writing and maybe work to getting a normal life.
But then, recently, I got a very nice surprise in my email inbox. A mother sent me an email through my website, telling me that she recently brought a paperback copy of Trapped on Draconica for her son, who was into Manga and had down syndrome (she has given me permission to talk about this through further conversation, but out of respect, I will not be mentioning any names). Apparently her son has a very bad turn recently, but since reading this book he's become a lot better and loves the story. He apparently reads it over and over and really enjoys it – he even asked when the next one is coming out!
You know what – if my book can help just one person, then it's all worth it!
But then I look back since I first released Trapped on Draconica and I realise that my book has done more good that maybe I first thought. After all, at my first convention, I gained two huge fans (who helped me get a place at Anime Attacks at Newcastle), at the book club at my old school, one of the pupils said I was her inspiration to become a writer – hell, someone has even put an article of Trapped on Draconica on TV Tropes about it. And when I did the Sponsume campaign for my sequel novel, I got a lot of sponsorship for it, something I never expected to get. So this shows that people DO care about my work.
This made me realise that I can NEVER quite writing. Because of those people. It may sound corny, but knowing that there are a few people that genuinely care about my work makes it all worthwhile. I may not have a bestselling novel, or award winning or in the top 100 best kindle sales (and all power to those authors who do), but knowing that there are people who have read my book and become inspired by it does fill me with a sense of accomplishment.
I therefore have decided, from today to make a list of three things that I must do.
I'm sure that there are lots of authors that have felt like they're not making a difference with their work and got depressed now and then. Believe me, I know how it feels. But to any author that feels this way – remember this. Somewhere out there, your work means something to someone – maybe even several people. And if you can reach just those few people, it's all worth it!
Stick with it. It gets better! It really isn't that bad when you look at the whole picture.
Thanks for reading guys. Have a great week!

Two blogs from me in one day? Well this is a VERY special occasion and I just had to share it with you.
Imagine my surprise when I checked my emails recently and found out that I had been awarded the Versatile Blogging Award by Read2Review! That's pretty cool considering I have been a bit lax on the blogging front recently! I don't know too much about this award – but from what I can gather it's a pretty cool thing to be given and I thank the guys at Read2Review for awarding me this and making me feel that little bit more loved!
But read on, there is more to follow!
This lofty-sounding award is basically a mutual admiration society where bloggers recognize their peers for writing quality blogs that touched them in some way. The VBAs honor the blogger rather than specific posts. It's a chance for bloggers to pat themselves on the back like the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does with the Oscars. Until someone starts giving out Blogscars, the VBAs will have to suffice.
What are the criteria, or rather the inclusion in the touch-points of "speech" you'll want to make upon receiving such an award? Here they are:
If you are nominated, then you've been awarded the Versatile Blogger Award! It's simple! Take a few moments to FEEL the warmth of the bestowed "congratulations!" Then think of 7 things to tell/share/reveal about yourself.
So, as a special exclusive, here are SEVEN things you may or may not know about me, Pandragon Dan!
Next, thank the person who gave you this award. That's common courtesy. Include a link to their blog. That's also common courtesy — after all, let other peeps know about a great stopping place on the web!
Thank you so much Kate! It's made my day! See: Read2Review #HIGHLYrecommended!
Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you've recently discovered or follow regularly.
For this, I'm picking the top fifteen bloggers/writers that I have either had the pleasure of reviewing their book, been part of a guest post/blog tour with them, or guys that I think their website/blog is just plain awesome and deserves a look!
My 15 nominees/winners are (in no particular order):

Hi guys. Just to let you all know that, I've decided to take a break from doing my blog this week. Reason being is that I have a lot of last minute preparations to do before Anime Attacks this weekend and I also have a gig to prepare for on Thursday with my band. Therefore, I decided to take a week off from updating my blog.
For those of you based in the North of England, please pop down to Anime Attacks at the Gateshead Library (a huge thanks to Vicky and Jessica Massingham for getting me this), where I'll be doing a little talk on my book, Trapped on Draconica and even selling a few copies of it as well during the day! Let's hope the weather doesn't spoil our fun!
Hopefully should be a great weekend! I'm personally looking forward to it and am grateful for the team at Anime Attacks for having me.
I'll let you know how it goes next week. Take care guys, see you all in a week!

So we have a 6 x 6ft powder room with a toilet and a Kallista For Town consolee sink (24"deep x 36" wide). If you imagine the room as a box and we are looking down from above, the door is at the bottom right-hand corner and will open toward the right wall. So, the challenge is whether to center the console (which will have sconces on either side) in the middle of the top wall--opposite wall of the entrance-- and have the toilet on the bottom left-hand corner or to have the console on the left wall and the toilet on the top left-hand corner. My husband thinks the latter is best because you'll see the pretty sink and mirror when you open the door as opposed to seeing the toilet right there when you walk in. But to me it makes better sense to have the wall right in front of you be the focal point with the pretty sink, etc. I prefer to center the console on whichever wall it occupies because I'm really a stickler for symmetry. What do you all think? thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The way you describe it here, I'd do option 1. I think the toilet has the potential to be the focal point in option 2 as well, especially without the benefit of the focal centered sink/sconce wall. |
If the door to the powder room is left open (usually how it goes) what is the view from the hall with either scenario? I'm assuming you'd prefer to see the sink. |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 23:04
or i'm thinking we could squeeze them next to each other on one wall and put a nice piece of furniture on the other wall next to the door. is it worth trying to fit the sink and toilet on a 6 ft wall though? |

Dream McLean - Sloe Gin (Dub Phizix Remix)
Label: MTA Records
Score: 7/10
Score: 7/10
It's a north/south sound connection on this one as London based rapper Dream McLean's Sloe Gin, his latest release on Chase & Status owned MTA Records, gets the D&B remix treatment from Manchester's very own man of the moment, Dub Phizix.
Taking the almost disorientating multi pitched hook and vocals from the Noisia produced original, the hip hop intro has Dream telling us that maybe he "drinks sloe gin too fast" before Dub Phizix delivers a war like onslaught of drums that hits you hard on the drop. Seemingly ever changing snare hits and weighty low end kicks that will certainly do damage to a few speakers on a sound system. All the elements of Dub Phizix's percussive and tribal production style are on display here and compliment the bad man lyrical attitude of Dream McLean's bars.
An altogether solid and strong remix offering, this is sure to cause more than a little bit of carnage on dancefloors for the next few months. Peep the original for some Timbaland-esque hip hop stylings too. Highly recommended.

Lincoln School students graduate, calendar changes for next school year
Thirty-six eighth-grade students graduated from Lincoln School yesterday, the last class of students to graduate from the school's full-year calendar. In August, Lincoln will transition to a traditional school calendar like the rest of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation schools. Principal Ronnetha Darrett says officials surveyed parents to gather their opinions on the schedule, and the majority wanted a change. For those students who still want extra education time, Lincoln is offering a "Jump Start" session July 24th through August 13, one day before school officially begins.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Get an updated map, that would help, but other than that, the rest is just bells and whistles that most people don't need. |

The Hylas 56
The Hylas 56 is the logical successor to the popular passagemaker, the Hylas 54. Introduced in 1999, the 54 proved that big, powerful cruisers could be efficiently handled by shorthanded crews, and several 54s have since logged circumnavigations. Why add two feet? For several reasons. The 56's cockpit is longer and more refined, the aft cabin has more headroom, the rudder is farther aft for better steering downwind, and there's even more space below.
Taiwan-based Queen Long Marine has been building Hylas yachts for many years and is today one of the world's premier yards. The new 56's hull is composed of a super-tough solid fiberglass laminate alternating with Twaron. The deck is cored, except in high-load areas where it is solid laminate. There is a watertight collision bulkhead forward with an independent overboard drainage system, and another watertight bulkhead aft, incorporating the lazarette and stern locker bulkheads. The lead ballast is fastened to a robust keel stub with massive 35mm stainless bolts.
On Deck
You feel secure the moment you step aboard the Hylas 56. There is a solid stainless steel stern rail from the lifeline gate just forward of the cockpit all the way aft. Meanwhile, the raised saloon deck has impressive stainless steel handrails at just the right height for easy grabbing. Another long rail on top of the lower house continues well forward. The side decks are wide and easy to navigate, even in heavy going, although the nonskid could be a bit more aggressive. The robust double bow roller and cleverly designed split anchor locker can handle some serious ground tackle. I especially like the large forward sail locker/garage that can gobble up extra sails, a rolled-up dinghy and other deck gear as well.
Our test boat was fitted with Seldn in-mast roller furling and Furlex furlers on both the headsail and staysail. A Harken traveler system, located just aft of the cockpit, is easy to reach and provides efficient end-boom sheeting. All sail controls are led aft, where two-speed electric self-tailing Antal winches do the heavy lifting. The view from the helm is superb, despite the raised saloon.
The first thing you notice when you drop below is the light. Natural light floods in through the wrap-around saloon windows, and a bamboo cabin sole with teak inlays contrasts brilliantly with the extraordinary teak joinery that is a Hylas trademark. The nearly 7ft of headroom in the main saloon certainly provides a profound sense of spaciousness, although it does make the overhead grabrails difficult to reach. In fairness, there are plenty of handrails throughout the boat.
The L-shaped navigation station to port has a two-tiered desk that can handle both an open chart and your laptop. Panels for repeaters and an expansive electrical panel make it likely that you'll spend plenty of time in the comfortable swivel chair.
The galley is located in the starboard walk-through and includes more than 7ft of counter space and plenty of headroom. The stowage above and below is impressive. Best of all, the cook has support on either tack, making this a truly sea-going galley.
The saloon features a foldout table to port and a settee to starboard that can be extended to form a sea berth. The tanks are located below the sole, so the space below the settees can be used for stowage, pumps, compressors and other components.
Continuing forward, the port cabin is surprisingly roomy and the head to starboard includes a separate stall shower. The spacious forward cabin has an island queen berth that is 6ft 6in long. This cabin would make a magnificent owner's stateroom, but the aft cabin is even bigger.
The master stateroom aft, which can be reached via both port and starboard walk-throughs, is stunning. This is where the extra two feet of hull length seems to find its way into the interior. The centerline king berth is nearly 6 feet wide and comes with a split mattress, so you can transform it into a sea berth when necessary by rigging a centerline leecloth. The ensuite head, with a stall shower, also houses a washer/dryer.

TUCSON - An arson suspect was arrested after being spotted from the air by a deputy helicopter, Pima County Sheriffs said.
The following is a release from Pima County Sheriffs:
On February 23, 2014, at approximately 7:00 p.m., San Xavier District deputies and the Sheriff's Department Air Unit responded to multiple brush fires in the southeast quadrant of Alvernon Way and Valencia Road. The Air Unit was the first to arrive and located a suspect running away from the fire. The suspect was observed lighting several additional fires while running from the area, which is described as a water retention basin.
The Sheriff's Department Air Unit directed responding deputies to the location of the suspect. After a short foot chase the suspect, identified as 33-year-old Derek Jones, was taken into custody.
The Sheriff's Department Arson Unit responded and took over the investigation. Their further investigation resulted in Derek Jones being arrested transported to the Pima County Adult Detention Center. He was booked on nine counts each of Arson of Property and Burning of Wild Lands.
Additionally, the Mental Health Support Team (MHST) is also involved in the follow-up investigation.

Where is Xorg R7.0 Monolith Tarball?
Unfortunately there is no official monolith (all in one) tarball of this release on their official FTP site:
The only way to build X11 R7.0 from scratch is downloading 287 packages and compile, install it one by one.
The available tarball on the FTP server is the old R6.8 version.
Where is the official source tarball of Xorg R7.0?
Thank you.

X.org 7.0 is the same thing as 6.9 except that it is modular instead of monolithic, so by definition it comes in many separate parts.
- 04-25-2006 #3
There is no tarball, Xorg is modular now, and those 280 odd packages is the way it's done now. I've already compiled and use it, I got it down to about 140 packages as an essential core for it to work properly.
If you're put off with the prospect of compiling it, then you'll probably have to wait around until whatever distro you use decides to make a package.Great GNU/Linux references and resources:
