Colorado Rafting – the Ideal Colorado Camping Day Trip
December 31, 2009 by Good Sam Team · Leave a Comment
Cool Times on the Colorado River – Colorado Camping Day Trips to Enjoy Colorado Rafting Prove Fun, Safe and Memorable By Jamie Reger-Vukelich, Article Courtesy of Woodall's Directory Even with a length of 1,450 miles, the Colorado River is not the longest river in the United States (that title belongs to the Missouri), nor does it conjure up romantic images like the Mississippi. None the less, if you ask someone to name the river for the ultimate boating experience, more than likely the first name they will come up with is the Colorado and the second thing they may tell you is that it is only for expert river runners. The first statement is certainly true, but the second one is false. The Colorado River offers stunning beauty and a wild water adventure for every age and experience. If you're Colorado camping, the Colorado is truly an amazing waterway and a must-do of all camping activities. Called "Rio Colorado" (Red River) by the Spanish, it was named for the... [Read more...]
Life on the Road [Full Time] with Pets and Kids
December 31, 2009 by Good Sam Team · 4 Comments
Written by By Julee Meltzer, Article Courtesy Woodall's Email Newsletter When we first decided to become full-time RVers, we never imagined that we would find ourselves playing defense for a way of life that we love so much. Needless to say, full-time RVing isn't for everyone. Space is tight. Fuel is expensive. And even though you're living out in the margins of society – there are still deadlines to meet, bills to pay, things to fix, and lessons to learn. However, when we first started writing about RVing with pets, we ran into an unexpected form of resistance from other pet owners that disapproved of the treatment of our traveling companions. The criticism, it seems, stems from the assertion that cats and dogs were not meant to spend their lives moving from place to place. At first glance, I found their comments (usually delivered by e-mail) a little odd – given the fact that cats and dogs have accompanied travelers since time began. Explorers routinely...

RV Vacations Strengthen Family Relationships
December 31, 2009 by Good Sam Team · Leave a Comment
Today's fast-paced life often leaves busy parents searching for opportunities to spend quality time together as a family. Increasingly, families are discovering that vacationing in an RV is the best way to cement family relationships while having a great time. "Bringing the family closer together was the top answer for parents when asked what are the most important benefits of family RV camping in "Campfire Canvass," a semi-annual nationwide survey of a random sample of RV owners by Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). Other highly ranked responses were "providing a learning experience," "teaching kids to respect nature," "broadening their horizons," and "developing wholesome values." In a recent research study conducted by Louis Harris and Associates, nine out of 10 current RV owners said RVs are the best way to travel with the family. Perhaps even more significant, 62 percent of survey respondents who have... [Read more...]
10 Quick, Easy Weekends

Winter break is gone and the kids are back in school. Your vacation time has all been used up. You are getting that head-down, slumped-shoulders sort of posture that clearly indicates you're in serious outdoor-recreation withdrawal. But what can you do? Between parents' job commitments and the kids' renewed academic and sports demands, there's little time left for camping trips. However, there are some great places to go camping that are closer to home than you might have thought. We've highlighted more than 25 fun places within a couple hours' drive of 10 major metropolitan areas across the United States. Any of these can make the perfect, quick and easy weekend getaway!

Camping Activities in Athens County, Ohio

You don't have to go to Greece to experience history, culture and the arts By Lisa Halvorsen, Article Courtesy of Woodall's Directory Athens County brings a world of camping activities. Here's some of our favorites. On the last Friday of every month except December, you can celebrate Final Friday on the square. Many businesses stay open late, with artists opening their studios to the public. The event features special activities such as new art exhibit openings, art chats, and sidewalk entertainment, including street musicians. The annual Nelsonville Art and Music Festival celebrates the arts with live music, art vendors and regional foods. Or plan your trip around the Parade of the Hills, a celebration held every summer for almost 60 years, with art walks, an old–time fiddlers' competition, three parades and numerous other events. The Dairy Barn Cultural Arts Center, also in Nelsonville, promotes the arts, crafts and culture of southeastern Ohio. Its 6500 square feet... [Read more...]

Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose… - Walt Whitman, "Song of the Open Road" Some road trips live on as legends, but others are best forgotten.

A Great Place for Birding: RVing Alabama's Gulf Coast
December 30, 2009 by Good Sam Team · Leave a Comment
Post Written by Kathryn Lemmon, Reprinted from Woodall's Regional Publications My appreciation for birds really began with a trip to Costa Rica some years ago, where our tour group tallied 102 bird sightings in 10 days. That qualifies as a success. We trekked through mud and rain. We got up especially early and went out late, to see what Mother Nature had to show us. Who needs an alarm clock when the howler monkeys wake you daily at 5 a.m.? The highlight, at least among the birds, was seeing a quetzal, whose iridescent green feathers were coveted by the ancient Mayans. They did not harm this rare jungle creature, oh no – harming a quetzal was considered a capital crime, and his tail plumage was more precious than gold. I think they had the right idea. By all accounts, interest in birding is on the rise. However, you need not travel as far as Costa Rica to see birds, although the quetzal does remain a magnet for serious birders. [Read more...]

Design by Franco Albini, 1950.
By Vitra.
The Miniature Gala is a scaled down reproduction of the original design that is featured in Vitra's Design Museum Collection. The Vitra Miniatures Collection celebrates icons from modern furniture history and preserves them in a timeless, keepsake form. Each miniature is a reduced 1:6 scale version of its original furniture design, and boasts an ornate construction with materials and colors that correspond to the historical originals — down to the very last detail. Their true to design quality makes each miniature a valuable collectors item as well as an ideal illustrative model for architects, universities, and colleges of design.

This is a miniature collectible object.
Material(s): Rattan, bamboo
Dimensions: 5.75" W X 7" D X 6.25" H
Designer: Franco Albini
After graduating in architecture at Milan Politecnico, Franco Albini worked simultaneously in fields of furniture, product design, architecture, urban planning and interior design. His sentiments as a rationalist architect translated into remarkably transparent furniture designs, which display a knowledgeable use of materials while presenting their internal structure and processes of production.

Classic. Modern. Sustainable.
Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).
Product longevity is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection. For Vitra, the manufacture of sustainable products means intense pre-production development, where the highest-grade materials are selected and tests are carried out that simulate 15 years of use. In order to enforce and monitor sustainable development in all business activities of the company, a work group was formed in 1986 by the name of 'Vitra and the Environment'. Because of this, Vitra can proudly claim that it has been dedicated to sustainability for nearly a quarter of a century.

College financial aid: More grant money available – and easier to find
College financial aid is easier to find through the government this year. Grants and loans are consolidated in one place, streamlining families' search for college financial aid.
Damian Dovarganes/AP/File
For many Americans, a college degree seems more unattainable than ever. Tuition has skyrocketed – up 439 percent between 1982 and 2008, while family incomes only increased 147 percent (not adjusted for inflation).
But that doesn't mean that higher education is out of reach. College financial aid – student loans, grants, and scholarships, plus programs available from individual colleges and universities – is helping to ease tuition sticker shock.
In addition, the federal stimulus included $100 billion for higher education, much of which colleges and universities have used to prevent or minimize planned tuition increases. Earlier this year, Congress voted $36 billion to increase Pell Grants, using money saved by eliminating subsidies to banks that offer student loans. This year, Pell Grants will be $5,500 – around $800 more per grant than two years ago. For the first time, Pell Grants will rise with cost of living increases.
Congress consolidated all federal loan programs into the Direct Loan Program, so families will be able to find college financial aid more easily.
Yes, they'll still need to fill out the Federal Application For Student Aid (FAFSA).
About 1 in 4 families didn't bother to fill out the FAFSA in 2009-2010, thereby passing up their chance for federal student loans, according to a survey conducted by Sallie Mae and Gallup. Half of those families either had never heard of it or else thought that they weren't eligible. They chose to pull money out of investments or else take out private loans to cover education costs. Bypassing FAFSA cost them as much as 15 percent more for the loan, according to federal estimates.
Why are federal student loans a better idea than private loans? Repayment benefits and interest rates. Federal loans don't need to be repaid until six months after graduation, plus they typically have much lower interest rates than private loans. For families whose FAFSA qualifies them for a subsidized Stafford loan, the government will pay all interest on the loan until six months after graduation. Families in higher income brackets can get unsubsidized Stafford loans, which still provide the low interest rates and the delay in repayment, but which do allow the interest to accrue.

One of the most difficult lessons to teach new pilots about landing on short, hazardous airstrips is to keep their eyes on the good part of the strip rather than on the hazard. The natural tendency is to concentrate on the obstacle, the danger, the things that one should avoid. The pilot who keeps his eye on the hazard will sooner or later hit it dead center.
In the Bible we are told to focus on the positive actions Christ desires for us. Paul told the Christians at Colosse: "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth" (Colossians 3:2). We are to discard old ways of thinking and acting (vs 5-9) and "put on" new ways of living (vs 10-17).
Experienced pilots focus their attention solidly on the track they want the plane to follow, keeping the hazards in their peripheral vision only.
When Christ and His interests are the focus of our lives, the lure of the old life remains in the corner of our eye, while we aim to land squarely in the center of God's will. What is your focus in this year 2008? Is there a lure of the old life in the corner of your eye?

New Brunswick Premier David Alward gestures while being recognized by the Speaker in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill.

That could change now that New Brunswick Premier David Alward is Alberta-bound and ready to get a pipeline to Canada's East Coast in gear.
"There's tremendous value in moving oil to New Brunswick. The port is deep water and once we get access to the ocean, we catch world price for our oil," said Mike Deising, a spokesman for Alberta's energy ministry. Energy Minister Ken Hughes met with his New Brunswick counterpart in the fall.
The idea's gathering steam in New Brunswick. Alward, who will meet with Premier Alison Redford, industry executives and tour the oilsands in February, recently toured Saint John's Irving Oil refinery with federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver, who touted the province's pivotal role in a pipeline and access to the Saint John's deep-water port.
"Alward focused on the important partnerships and opportunities that will help New Brunswick emerge as Canada's next energy powerhouse," said a statement from his website.
TransCanada would convert a portion of its Canadian Mainline natural gas pipe to deliver Canadian and U.S. crude to refineries and to tidewater, both technically and economically feasible, spokesman Shawn Howard said.
"Discussions with potential shippers and other stakeholders are underway to determine if this is a project the market wants to see -- we believe it is.
"The key part will be translating interest into long-term commercial contracts."
Less than 100 km of new right-of-way will be required; 80% of the pipe is already in the ground.
With the U.S. projecting vast increases in production from the Dakotas' Bakken formation, finding other outlets for Alberta crude is a problem pressing not just on the energy industry -- the provincial budget is in crisis with a looming $6 billion shortfall from falling royalties because of the market differential compared to world prices.
The Canadian leg of the Keystone XL pipeline to the Texas Gulf Coast awaits approval by U.S. President Barack Obama after getting environmental approval from Nebraska.
The Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat, B.C., and Asian markets beyond is in regulatory review -- it got a chilly reception from B.C. Premier Christy Clark. The Kinder-Morgan pipeline expansion to B.C.'s Lower Mainland is underway and a new study's considering rail to carry bitumen north to Alaska tidewater.

I think adding elements of modern pop culture into a classical work is on topic, since the title is "Don Quixote" and the work represents a modern interpretation of a archtype character in a classic style. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.

It could make the silhouette more pronounced, exaggerate the subject matter, and bring another bit of hilarity to the design. Also, the amount of stars could lessen a bit more dramatically toward the edge of the design. Doesn't have to, but it might be something to play with out of curiosity. Nice detail, though. I like the traction you've got goin' on the bird feet boots. Good luck!

Yeah, I don't dispute that, and I will also say I like the shirt. However, the derby clearly asks for interpretations of actual art titles. I can't pretend like the Mona Lisa is actually called "No Eyebrows Lady" and then submit a shirt featuring tons of women with no eyebrows. Even though the subject of the painting is a woman with no eyebrows, or in this case, dogs playing poker, I can't submit my interpretation of the painting based on the subject. I have to do it based on the title. Knowing the title is "A friend in need", this interpretation of the title makes absolutely no sense.
phrozt wrote:Yes.. there are leaves and notes in both designs... ... and that's about it. To say your comment is a stretch is a bit of a stretch in and of itself.
Well, considering that leaves and notes on a musical staff are the main concepts in each piece, it seems relevent. And the artist him (her?)self is acknowledging the similarity... It is a beautiful design, but I wouldn't expect it to withstand rejection. To the artist: you have great talent, so I hope you keep entering derbies.

Ole Miss Rebel Report 11/1/2013
— November 1, 2013Good Friday to you Rebel Nation! In this edition of the Rebel Report, we will look at the upcoming Ole Miss men's basketball season. We will cover the season opening exhibition game that will tip off tonight. We will also look into the full schedule and roster of the defending SEC champions. Most of our topics in today's report will be of basketball, since we are on a bye week in football. We have searched the web to find you the topics your wanting to read. Hope you enjoy!
Ole Miss Basketball
Exhibition Game tonight against South Carolina-Aiken at Tad Smith Coliseum. Get out tonight and support the defending SEC champions as they will host South Carolina-Aiken in an exhibition game. Tip off is at 6:00 p.m. CT. Here is our preview into the game , by ORB writer Jesse Perkins. Ole Miss will open the regular season at home against Troy on November 8th. Here is the complete 2013-2014 men's basketball schedule.
Want to know who is on the Ole Miss squad this year? We have also updated the site with a full 2013-2014 team roster.
Is LaDarius White ready to take the next step? Due to graduations, the Rebels have loss over 40 percent of it's scoring output from last season. Marshall Henderson is the only senior on this year's team. So that means, of majority, this will be a young team. Experienced players, like junior guard LsDarius White will have to fill in the big shoes.
Ross Bjork supports Henderson suspension. How could you not support the decision of Henderson's suspension. Henderson had drug abuse issues that needed to be stopped. Does he deserve a second chance? Absolutely. If pro athletes can get second chances, so should Henderson. Here is an article of Ross Bjork's decision on Marshall Henderson.
Ole Miss Football
Ja'mes Logan has moved on, how about you? Ja'mes Logan could have easily folded after receiving negative feedback from a lot of the Rebel fan base on Twitter. This came from his dropped pass on the Rebels' final drive against A&M. If the pass would have been caught, the Rebels would have had a first down and possibly would have prevented the Aggies from pulling a second win. Logan would address on Twitter about the dropped pass, and since then has proven his performances in games. Since the A&M game, Logan has caught 13 passes and scored two touchdowns. He currently leads the Rebels in receiving since the A&M game. Here is a video of him discussing the topic.
To my real fans yeah I dropped a clutch one but please believe I'm gone bounce back like a true Rebel #85

Serderius Bryant discuss his comeback. It was a scary moment when Bird Bryant laid on the field motionless after sustaining a concussion in the Texas A&M game. Since then, Bryant has been on a very quick road to recovery, so quick that he made appearances in the Idaho game, just two weeks after the concussion. Here is a video of Bryant discussing his road to recovery.
Bo Wallace sitting in practice. Could we see a quarterback change in the Arkansas game? The answer is no. I pretty sure….no. Coach Hugh Freeze wanted this week's practice to be about seeing what his young talent can do. He did report that both Ryan Buchanan and Devante Kincade impressed him in practice on Tuesday.
The NCAA has recently made some changes in recruiting rules. And Coach Hugh Freeze fully supports the change.

Honestly, you're going to have to completely gut that entire property. Perhaps someone with the right vision can get in there and totally revamp the property. You could completely gut the building and install green tech on the roof and make it completely energy efficient. Imagine renting out a place where your electricity is already included!
I looked at 2 apartments here a few years back... they were DISGUSTING.
The 1 bedroom was just a dump; mismatched appliances, poorly closing doors, random thrown up walls... this building was chopped up to high heaven. I don't think it's worth doing anything with - it'd require a full gut.
The "Deluxe" 2-bedroom I got shown in the "garden level" was even worse... they had commercial carpeting throughout in the kitchen that had seen better days 20 years ago. There was a random second door in the kitchen that went into the basement that was unfinished and accessible by anyone - kinda scary actually... it was pretty bad.
that would be a long, epic mid 6 figure gut rehab. I agree if the right person bought them at the right price it would be feasable.
Realistically though if all you do is slumlord (and even that is most likely done by a property manager) you dont really have the skillset or time to run a rehab like that.
Especially if you're already in a high stress / high paying job like law and you actually want the project to come in under budget.
thats a huge risk to take.
hopefully he sells the place and does it at a price where it still makes sense to do a rehab
People, people, trash? Good God, you sound like the victorian trash that used to say the same about the italians and irish only now most of the "trash" is brown. Hey, why not join a friggin eugenics club and suck wine whilst listening to Barry Manilow? Boo Hoo, are the poor people still a little too close for you? Then move to the g'damn suburbs already and study waldorfism's!
Friend told me this evening that Harvey Garrett has opined that the owner of these buildings is a moron, because he doesn't realize that they could be a gold mine if he simply invested in fixing them up.
Although, sometimes it's simply being cared for at all, or just occupied, that is the true service with these old buildings.
I walk past that building several times a week and agree with all comments so far: love the building, but not the nonsense.
Just over a week ago there was a VERY LOUD woman standing outside it after dark trying to block the way of everyone walking across Richmond. When I didn't stop and kept going, the string of epithets and her starting to follow me down the sidewalk startled me so much I pulled out my cell and called 911. She quickly decided to leave me alone.
I was not aware of the issues with the owner, but would be glad to work with others to address them. I've tried various times to get on the email list for the Bryant Street block club without success. Any of you who mentioned you live nearby, feel free to drop a note to any BRO writer you've had contact with, and they'll forward it to me.
A similar building at 136-138 Richmond on the corner of York was split in original 3 townhouses recently. The middle townhouse, consisting of 2 one-bedroom units, closed this week at $175K.
maybe we can get bryant street block club to start to raise consern. i dont know, i would love to see that building get rid of all the trash that lives there. maybe start flooding stephen c. townsend voice mail about how bad the property is maintained.
Full agreement with sobuffbillsfan. It is owned by Attorney Stephen C. Townsend and he has done nothing to the building in the 6 years I've owned my place on the same block of Richmond. He does not care who he rents to, mostly section 8 and the cops are there 2-3 times a week addressing problems with drugs, tenants & the scum they attract. He also owns the row of townhouses next door and runs it the same way. He must have connections with City Hall; we've had no luck with City Hall helping to address any of the issues with the building or those he rents to. The quality of life for all of us in this area will vastly improve once this scumbag sells both properties and someone fixes them up & returns them to the quality housing both buildings once were.
Good luck with that! The guy who owns this is a classic slum lord. He owns that building and the red one next to it. Hes content doing the bare minimum to keep it up to section 8. He doesn't care who he rents to, this summer there was a crazy person shouting out the window of that gray building all day every day and a group that partied with their music blaring in that parking lot all day every day. I have walked by there and seen fights, tenets yelling at each other over who the "real trash" is that lives in those buildings. The cops are there all the time.
I'm pretty sure this guy is going to hold out until he finds a buyer with enough money to grossly over pay for the property potential. He should be forced to live next door like the people in the area who are investing in the homes around this place, despite his lack of effort.
Don't worry though he's doing alright, judging by the private college stickers on the back of his $40k SUV.
Great building. Like so many others in this city it has great potential, if only it was cared for better.
Love this building. Interesting comment that it could have been a series of townhouses. What an amazing way to restore this property that would be, to rehab the exterior with separate treatments for each of the four(?) sections facing Richmond. Really would be THE signature residential property of Richmond Ave.

Biography of Charles Allan Winter
Biography of Alice Beach Winter
Scope and Contents Note
Description of the Papers
Charles Allan Winter was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, October 1869. His father, Alfred Allan Winter, came to the United States from England at the age of three years. His mother, Fannie Amelia (Ramsley) Winter, was born in Piermont, New York. The Ramsley family was among the earliest settlers of Newark, New Jersey. Four children were born to the couple, Charles was their first.
While he was an infant, the Winter family moved to Dayton, Kentucky, a suburb of Cincinnati. Charles attended public school until the age of 12 years. After leaving school he was employed by a cousin, John Ramsley who conducted a confectionary establishment in Cincinnati. At the age of 15 he entered the Cincinnati Art Academy as a student, mornings only, continuing to work afternoons at Ramsley's. He was able to attend the art academy only part time, some of the time the night session only, for seven years or until he was 22. The next two years he attended both the day and night sessions. His teachers included Vincent Nowottny, Lewis Lutz, and Thomas S. Noble.
In 1894 Charles won a foreign scholarship competition given by the art academy with which he traveled abroad for three years in Paris, France. Tuition and all personal expenses were covered by the scholarship. At the Académie Julian he studied under Adolphe-William Bouguereau and Gabriel Ferrier. He spent eight months of the three year scholarship in Rome, Italy.
At the completion of the three years, Charles prolonged his stay in Europe until he received an invitation to teach a portrait class at the St. Louis School of Fine Art, Missouri, where he remained for three years.
In 1901 Charles moved to New York and took a studio at 8 East 59th Street, where he lived when he married Alice Mary Beach on January 1, 1904.
Charles died in 1942.
Charles was an illustrator and landscape and marine painter who used bright colors and impressionist style. He painted at Gloucester, Massachusetts and St. Louis, Missouri and exhibited at the Paris Salon and the Art Institute of Chicago. His illustrations were published in magazines such as Collier's, Cosmopolitan, Hearst's magazines, and The Masses.
Alice Mary Beach was born in Green Ridge, Missouri, March 22, 1877 to Edgar Rice and Frances Emeline Beach. Her father was an editor on the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. She was born into a family mainly of writers and actors. At age five she was copying pictures from magazines and books.
Alice began her formal studies at the St. Louis School of Fine Art in 1892. She was 14 years old, the youngest pupil at the time. She worked after hours at the school to pay tuition when she was 16 and 17.
Alice graduated in 1898, coincidentally the same year Charles entered the school as instructor. She traveled to New York where she spent one full season at the Art Students' League, studying with John Twachtman, Joseph DeCamp, and George deForest Brush.
Alice reunited with Charles in New York and the couple was married in 1904. Together they occupied their 59th Street studio where they spent 30 years working on their paintings and illustrations. During this time they met many well-known artists of their day – John Sloan, Robert Henri, George Bellows and Paul Tietjens.
In 1912 Alice joined with other writers and artists in New York, such as Max Eastman, John Sloan and Art Young, to establish The Masses as a radical magazine. She later became the magazine's art editor and was responsible for several of its front covers.
In 1914 Charles and Alice began summering in Gloucester, Massachusetts. In 1922 they built a studio house at 134 Mt. Pleasant Avenue. There they socialized with notable artists such John Sloan, Robert Henri, Leon Kroll, Aldro T. Hibbard, W. Lester Stevens, Jane Peterson and William Glackens. Days were spent painting on location and evenings were filled with talks of artistic technique and trends.
Charles and Alice settled as full-time residents of their Massachusetts home in 1931, where they became instrumental teachers in the artists' community.
Alice Beach Winter died in 1970.
Alice Beach Winter was a painter, sculptor, and illustrator and was especially known for her child portraits and illustration genre for children's magazines. In 1907 Alice was listed in Who's Who in America and shortly after her profile was published in Women's Who's Who and Marquis Who's Who of American Women. She was a member of the National Association of Women Artists, North Shore Art Association, Business & Professional Women's Club, Gloucester and the Gloucester Art Association. She exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Chicago Art Institute, Carnegie Internationals and elsewhere. Her paintings appear in many books and magazines dating from 1930-1960 including the Delineator.

Comments about ALTAI SKIS Hok Skis, Universal Binding:
I got a pair of 125cm Hoks and universal bindings last Christmas and have skied on them many, many times up at Mt Rainier and in the Olympic Mountains. They are truly wonderful. Light to carry, just over 6 lbs on my back and I can use my leather hiking boots in the universal binding, very snug with great control. The kick is great with the climbing skin, and the glide is good as well. The short size makes them perfect to replace my snowshoes in going uphill through trees and the downhills are a blast. The skis have a sidecut so they really want to turn; both short swing and telemark turns are easy. This is a perfect ski combo for a beginner or intermediate skier just to get out into the woods. I am something of an expert skier and enjoy this simple, light ski to go into the backcountry (a wonderful alternative to randonee equipment which is so heavy and expensive). Enjoy the Hok!

Comments about ALTAI SKIS Hok Skis, Universal Binding:
Had a problem with universal binding jamming on a day with 10 inches of fresh powder. The Company called me on a Sunday and he recreated the problem and was able to let me know how to unjam the binding. He also gave me a secret weapon. He told me to use Swix F-4 glide wax on the whole ski and buts hit in diagonally on the climbing skins. Then my glide became more like a true cross-country glide and a lot of fun. I had brand new Columbia WP snow boots good to -45 but they were very soft. Switched from the 125's to the 145's with telemark bindings and my Alico Backcountry boots and started carving sweet turns on steeper slopes while they still climbed really well! Can't remember having to herringbone more than a few times! They also worked great at 40 degrees in January thaw and 2 days later at 25 degrees with icy crust. And at - 20 with windchill down to -36. Only had to reapply the glide wax 3-4 times for the whole winter. The longer ski with a true telemark boot will do some great backcountry service. Even had them at a Downhill Ski resort. The 125's were very hard to handle but the 145's with the stiffer boots and bindings did well on groomed and even better off trail in fresh. My Telemark skis are 165's but these new AS skis are fat and I don't sink in as much as even my backpacking snowshoes. And snowshoeing is boring compared to these. They may not be as fast as my older skis but their climbing is awesome and the Glide Wax makes them fun as it eases up the brakes. If you are not good at carving then I would recommend them still. More fun than snowshoes and the braking action adds safety on steeper slopes for those who are not able to carve. I gave pairs to my Dad 80 years old and my mom 77. They are easier than snowshoeing as you can still just walk forward without having to lift up the shoe to break trail. And for them the braking going down small hills make them manageable and not scary. Once I added the glide wax I really gave my dog a run for the money! My old wooden Holmenkollens when waxed right can outrun my dog but these new skis ability to perform in all conditions was great and the short length makes them great for bushwacking! And my cross-country skis are 205's so these fit in my biggest snowshoe bag with my collapsible poles making them handy to carry with a dog on leash heading back home.

Comments about ALTAI SKIS Hok Skis, Universal Binding:
This year we have had several good dumps of snow in Massachusetts and I found that walking our Labrador in the woods was getting tedious in the deep snow. I was looking for snowshoes or cross country skis when I came across these - and after much thinking I decided to buy the 125cm Hoks. At $299 without trying them first I was taking a big chance; but I have to say I adore them!
Fundamentally I am an enthusiastic but basically rubbish skier. I found that I fall off normal X-country skis on anything ungroomed and having tried shoeshoes I didn't get the same buzz I do sliding down slopes. I have had these a week and used them twice a day in fresh snow, packed snow, wet snow and a mixture of all three crossing a pond. I was going to get the 145cm Hoks but I'm glad I went for the 125cm as they are great on the trails through the woods and I can fishbone them if I need to without tripping myself up. When faced with a slope too scary to go down I turn around and go down backwards; they have amazing grip!
I'm still trying to learn how to carve downhill on them, there is a lot of play in the boots I use so I can't seem to crank them over on their edges like downhill skis. I'm sure if you now how to Telemark then this would be easy.
They attract a lot of positive comment from the other skiers and walkers - and they are light enough to carry when I walk home. I just connect up the ankle straps and hook both over my arm and can hold my ski poles as well with that hand (leaving one hand free for the dog).
They glide pretty well although my preferred motion's a sort of shuffle. Glide best on light snow and worst on twigs, leaves and poop. Wet and yellow snow are intermediate.
Summary: This is like getting a good quality mountain bike; not the fastest downhill or on the road but a bundle of fun for mucking about in the woods. If you like messing around in the snow these are the best thing since the invention of the self-cleaing oven.

Comments about ALTAI SKIS Hok Skis, Universal Binding:
I want to comment on the Hok 145s. These are an unusual product on the market. I wasn't sure how they would handle and had a difficult time finding a write up that really gave me an accurate description. These skis are the best climbing and gripping waxless base skis I have tried. Of the seven pairs of waxless skis I own, Rossignol BC 125, Fischer S-Bound 98s, Silent Spiders, older Karhu and Alpina skis, the Hoks easily will out climb them all. As far as kick and glide, they are about as good as can be expected on the deep untracked snow that I would use them in. However it is on the down hill the Hoks get confusing. They don't glide as well as any other ski I have used, but they are not snow shoes. It probably takes 10 minutes to learn to use a pair of snowshoes. The Hoks are skis and some skiing skills are definitely needed to use them. I found that if not careful, the Hoks have the ability to out climb my ability to descend safely in wooded terrain. On gradual declines they don't really glide well, but on steep hills the Hoks will get moving and handle like short, wide, soft skis. Additionally, the natural tendency to back weight free heel skis when the terrain gets steep only makes them faster. My take on the Hoks is that they are an easily turned, slow ski that is great for the woodlands and woodland trails usually snowshoed because the terrain is too narrow or steep for more traditional skis. The one warning I would give is that they do behave as skis on steeper slopes and skiing skills are needed. Finally, I really like these skis. I am not a double black diamond skier and don't have the skills to ski the steep backcountry slides and streambeds that the better skiers ski. However the Hoks will allow me to ski the milder backcountry terrain safely.

Still want to buy a ticket to the Big Show? Comic_Con, the official Twitter of Comic-Con, is offering one day and four day passes on Ebay at regular prices. Follow and hurry! They are selling quickly.
If there are still passes available, why are they selling them this way instead of the normal route? O.o
The passes they're selling are replacements for memberships that were canceled and refunded. The deadline for that was last Friday, and I guess they waited a few days to allow for slow mail (the request had to be in writing, by snail mail).
As for why they're putting them up, a few at a time, on eBay (with a fixed price, as far as I can tell)? I'd guess it's to give more people a shot at it, rather than face the kind of crunch that the hotel reservations always do.
[…] A Smattering Of Comic-Con Updates * so I guess CCI is getting rid of memberships returned to the show through their rebate program by putting a few up at a time on eBay. They go quickly, but at least something purchased from the show would be legitimate. * a few of the blogs are pointing to this article as saying Hayao Miyazaki will be visiting CCI in support of Ponyo. Official news of this should hit with enough of a splash you'll know if these articles are right or not. * this is the week you dump your extra hotel rooms before you're charged a deposit. Also, remember that if you picked up a room here, a room there, the deposit mechanism probably won't track this. In hotel news generally, there have been several single-day room opportunities rolling out on the site since mid-May. One thing that was up for grabs this weekend was a Friday night room at the new Hilton. * I'm moderating two panels on Friday (July 24th) of the Con: the Comic Strip Reprints panel from 1:30-2:30 PM and one called Graphic Novels from 4:00-5:00 PM. Those should be super-informative and because they're set at an hour pop right along. I'm not allowed to say who's on each one until the con folks confirm, but right now they're both stuffed with interesting names. I think I may also be on a manga panel moderated by someone else at some point on Thursday, which sounds odd to me, too. * finally, the moderating Gallant to my Goofus, Mark Evanier, has announced some of the 18 billion panels he's moderating, sometimes three at once. That's a nice golden/silver age panel he's going to have. […]

I have never scrapbooked before, but I would love to do something special for my great nephew's first birthday. The little research I have done tells me that this is not a hobby to go into lightly as it appears to require a pretty good investment. Because I am not sure I will continue to scrapbook, I would love to just find a nice little kit to use. Does anyone know where I could find a kit for a little boy's first birthday? If it matters, it is going to be a John Deer party...
Thank you all for any suggestions! |

To my knowledge there is no kit, BUT, you can make up a scrapbook without much money. Places like Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's etc have pages that will fit a regular 8 1/2x11 notebook. You can buy either card stock from craft stores or Staples. You can find scrapbook magazines at stores for ideas. Watch for sales for supplies. Ask the sales people for help. Scrapbooking is as expensive or cheap as you make it. You can buy all sorts of things to put on pages. Some cities have scrapbooking clubs. There are people who sell materials to small groups of people and will teach you (and try to get you to buy only their brands) . There is so much on the internet that is free (patterns etc) and low cost supplies. Ask around your town/city. Garage sales sometimes will have magazines and supplies. Thrift stores will have craft supplies. You can use anything you want to in making scrapbooks. Yes, even the Dollar stores have supplies, and yes I have seen John Deer supplies, but by using a notebook it can be added to through out the year. And much cheaper. Just ask your friends, check notices on bulletin boards, in the paper etc and start slow and have fun!!!! |

I am 30 something, (who's counting at this point anyway) and the proud Mother of 4! 2 Boys and 2 girls. The boys are 14 and 15 (11 months apart)...and the girls are 6 and 3 months. I often refer to them as my crazy crew! I stay home with the crazy crew...thank God for the Public School system!! I fell in love with RecipeZaar back in 2002, but have just recently decided to get involved....I came out of the closet so to speak!
I have been cooking for as long as I can remember, even as a teen I can remember making hot dogs on the grill for a group of my friends that were over. I tried to season them with whatever my Mom had in her spice collection. Granted they were awesome! But one of my friends thought that they had fallen in the dirt!! :)
Pictured... I am in the front on the phone,I just completed 60 miles in 3 days....I think I look pretty good!! :)
When I rate recipes, here is my rating system:
*****(5 stars)This recipe is perfect as is and my family really enjoyed it. The directions were clear and easy to follow and it worked out well. These recipes are ones I would recommend and would make again. If the kids love it...it's a keeper!
****(4 stars) These recipes were good, but I would not make them again without changing something. Either something was missing or I thought it could just use a little something! My family gave it a maybe do again.
If I wouldn't make it again there is no need in me rating it...who am I really to give my opinion on what might be your favorite recipe!
I like everything really. There are some things that I won't eat, but I still love to use them in my recipes. I love to experiment and find new recipes, make changes to fit my family's taste.
I guess I can say I just have a passion for food!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Falcoe!
Facts about Falcoe
- Breed: Siamese
- Color: Cream Or Ivory (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Falcoe's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Falco is a handsome 7.5 year old, looks like a pure bred lilac point Siamese. He is quiet and a bit shy when you first get to know him, and would do best in a quiet home without small kids are very active pets, though he gets on well with other cats that are gentle and sweet like him.
Other Pets at Fabulous Felines NWA
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Falcoe, a Bentonville Siamese cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Siamese for sale in Bentonville, or seeking a Siamese cat from a breeder in Bentonville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bentonville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bentonville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Siamese breeders who help with Siamese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bentonville paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Jericho Reach
A Glimpse of the Setting for Deathwatch |
Deathwatch | Published 02 April 2010 |
Greetings, Deathwatch Fans!
This week I'd like to take a short break from talking about Space Marine Chapters and instead talk about the Jericho Reach, a war-torn region of space that is the setting for Deathwatch. During the development of "Project Iceberg" (the codename for Deathwatch), one thing I was very interested in was providing an opportunity for Space Marines of the Deathwatch to face some truly iconic and classic foes. This meant we could set Deathwatch in a completely different region of space than the Calixis Sector or the Koronus Expanse.
Welcome to the Eastern Fringe
The Jericho Reach lies far on the Eastern Fringe of the Imperium, a place that has been all but forgotten but now lies at the center of an Imperial Crusade to reconquer its territory...for within the Jericho Reach lies a singular prize; an ancient and mysterious warp gate that links it to the other side of the galaxy.
Author John French explains some of the themes and ideas behind the Jericho Reach:
Against a bloody background
One of the first things that was decided about the Jericho Reach (named by a certain Mr. Andy Hoare) was that it was going to be dominated by war and conflict. Deathwatch is, after all, a game about the Adeptus Astartes, the Emperor's finest warriors and so we needed a war; a big one. We envisaged a portion of space swarming with the enemies of mankind, where forces clashed in every environment and circumstance imaginable.
How we would make the Jericho Reach a suitably war torn crucible of nightmares was answered by the first piece of development direction we were given: we would plough a Imperial Crusade into it. With this key point settled it followed that we would view the 'Reach' from the point of view of the Imperial Crusade forces: its topography would be made up of salients and war zones, its notable figures would be war leaders and heroes, and where the forces of the Crusade have yet to extend are its places of mystery and possibility.
This Imperial campaign became known as the Achillus Crusade. Once named, the Achillus Crusade quickly began to gather ideas and possibilities to it. Many of these early ideas fought their way to the front and became part of the Jericho Reach as it is revealed in Deathwatch, some perished in fire, and still others buried themselves in shadows and waited for a future time to be revealed. Here are some that made it:
A War of Reconquest
It was decided early on that the Jericho Reach had once been part of the Imperium; the Jericho Sector in fact. It was long ago abandoned to darkness, and the enemies of mankind took it for their own. We wanted to create a deliberate sense that the Imperium was returning to an area it had once known, but that had changed greatly over the intervening years and made less than it once was. One of the ways we engendered this feeling was to create worlds still inhabited by human populations that had successfully survived the isolation from the Imperium. Some remained loyal, but others had long ago been corrupted and now were entirely resistant to this Imperial reconquest.
The Three Salients
Rather than dividing up the Jericho Reach into sub-sectors, or similar regions, it is divided between the Crusade's main staging zone (known as the Iron Collar) and the three primary salients of advance through the Reach.
We wanted each salient to have a character of its own, with each facing a different dominant foe and set of circumstances. Each part of the Crusade has different character and plot threads woven into its background, making them more like sub-settings in their own right. The Canis Salient is the oldest and largest group of warzones and has clashed head on with the forces of Tau Expansion in a battle between two forces of conquest competing for resources and territory. The Acheros salient is characterised by a bloody war of attrition against the forces of Chaos which have encysted in the central worlds of the Jericho Reach. The Orpheus salient has become fragmented, its lines of communication and support overextended; all of which have made matters infinitely worse when a Tyranid hive fleet hit it in the flank.
Ancient Duties and Divided Agendas
The Deathwatch have their own agendas and keep their own council. The Achillus Crusade may be the cause for war on a massive scale, but it is not the reason that the Deathwatch are in the Jericho Reach. Nor do the Deathwatch answer to the command of the Crusade; they may aide the Crusade forces when the agendas of both coincide, but do not function as not part of the Crusade war machine. Most of the Imperial units outside of the senior Crusade commanders do not even know what the Deathwatch are, let alone that they have any presence in the Jericho Reach.
We divided the power and agendas in this way so that the Deathwatch player characters could potentially go anywhere in the Jericho Reach, fight as part of any conflict, and still follow their own narrative rather than that of the Crusade. The roleplay possibilities of conflicts between the Crusade command and the Deathwatch were also too good of an opportunity to pass up.
This divide between the Achillus Crusade and the Deathwatch also helped us emphasise the nature of the Deathwatch in this setting: they serve a higher purpose as watchmen who guard against enemies and possibilities even greater than those the Crusade must face. There is something alien and strange about the Jericho Reach; something dark, foul and perhaps even sinister. After all, the Deathwatch are here—and there must be a good reason for that.
I could tell you more, sharing what I know of the Omega Vault and the unfolding pattern that leads into a darker future. I would, but at my back I sense the Master of the Vigil drawing near, and the cold gaze of the secret keepers and so I must say nothing more.
Forward, Battle-Brothers!
Stay tuned for more revelations and more about the Space Marine Chapters in my next Deathwatch Designer diary!
Deathwatch is a roleplaying game in which players take on the roles of the bio-engineered super-soldiers known as Space Marines. United with their battle-brothers, players will complete extraordinary missions involving some of the greatest heroes and deadliest opponents the Warhammer 40,000 universe has to offer.
i got a feeling this warp gate and omega vault may have something to do with the old ones as they used such warp gates to travel between wolrds and galaxies. also there were two in the warhammer worls that crashed to the ground so i could see it like a manafactured wormhole
hmmr looks maybe like a webway?
Looking at it, it's got more of a slaaneshi feel to me, with that big crescent.
is it just me, or does the warp gate look like an inverted symbol of Tzeentch (roll table 12-4 for mutation)?
A earlier DD said August, which matches GenCon. I expect to get mine in October, if Rogue Trader was any indication.
is it confirmed for being at Gencon?
SOLD! Well....more sold. I was going to pick this up at GenCon regardless, but I'm extremely pleased to see the way this is panning out.
it looks elder to me the warp gate but a part of me keep thinking it could be necrons after look on forge world at the necron pylon it look abit like it the warp gate in the pic. that what i think anyway
I'd be more interested if the Imperium was (albeit slowly) winning for once (despite complications and setbacks), with some halfway competant leadership (and organisation).
Since the Kroot are in Koronus, when their homeworld is on the opposite side of the galaxy (conveniently close to Jericho Reach, in fact....), it was kind of obvious that some sort of warp gate or the like was in the region, otherwise the Kroot would never have been able to spread across to Koronus.
I, however, remember all that cool old lore, and it looks very Eldar to me, so this has actually peaked my interest in Deathwatch now. It'll be interesting to see what else is in store!
I still don't see any roleplaying happen in this game. It will be xeno-bashing over and over again. I still prefer DH as the rpg of the 40k-Universe, but i will buy the core rulebook of dw just to have it.
btw.: I think the warp gate is probably not build by a major xeno race and isn't working at the moment but the imperium wants to secure it, before others can activate it.
That is a very smart design decision: an Imperial crusade but the Deathwatch having their own agenda. I can see adventures coming from there!
Adding three monster Salients each with a different foe for Mankind to contend with seems a bit clunky, but hey, I can't think of a better way to do it .. and as long as the Eldar have their mysterious unfathomable presence weaving between the other races, I am happy :)
Growing enthusiastic here!

The merger with Delta will be complete in a very short time, and the opportunity for a status match will soon be over. I sent in my request a couple of days ago for a status match.
This is the same situation we had several months ago when they US Bank Worldperks Visa card was on its way out. I suggested applying as it was soon to be history and you really had nothing to lose.
So take any non-Skyteam status you have, (United, American, US Airways), make a copy of your latest statement along with a cover letter and fax it to 218-254-7567 requesting a comparable level status match.
You can probably even send them a Continental statement indicating that you want to stay with Skyteam as Continental is leaving the alliance to join Star Alliance on October 27, 2009.

""Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances. "
― Maya Angelou
Welcome to the stories and news of Martin and Rebekah Neil's musical wanderings. We hope you will have fun listening, exploring and learning from the many unique sounds, songs and expressions of the diverse cultures we have encountered on our travels around the world. Entwined in their unique musical heritages are the stories of the people and the make up of their societies and communities.
Through music, the stories of the land are passed on, the morals and ethics of a people are held, the cry for justice and the worship of the divine continues to be expressed. Looking through their creativity brings an insight into their way of life and gives us a different perspective as we glimpse into their world.

According to the McDonald's Corporation, its famous Chicken McNuggets are made with ingredients including autolyzed yeast extract (which contain free glutamate, similar to MSG), sodium phosphates and sodium aluminum phosphate. But that's not the freaky part. According to McDonald's own website, Chicken McNuggets are also made with "hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness" and "Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent." (http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/nutr…)
At least two of these ingredients are artificially synthesized industrial chemicals. TBHQ, a petroleum derivative, is used as a stabilizer in perfumes, resins, varnishes and oil field chemicals. Laboratory studies have linked it to stomach tumors. "At higher doses, it has some negative health effects on lab animals, such as producing precursors to stomach tumors and damage to DNA. A number of studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high doses of TBHQ may be carcinogenic, especially for stomach tumors." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TBHQ)
Dimethylpolysiloxane, a type of silicone, is used in caulks and sealants, as a filler for breast implants, and as key ingredient in Silly Putty.
Anti-foaming agent? Again. Eeeewwwwww. I don't even want to know what's in the dipping sauces.

Jennifer, a graduate of the Southeastern Oklahoma State University with a degree in Broadcast Communications, has worked in local cable media advertising sales in the Dallas market for the last 4 years and has volunteered for local organizations such as American Women in Radio & Television and local youth hockey.
As a former dance instructor and with her husband working as a youth hockey coach, Jennifer has seen the numerous benefits of extra-curricular activities for young people, which has compelled her to create a platform to encourage young people to get involved in community activities and volunteerism at a young age. She believes having life balance is important at any age, and learning the importance of giving back to ones community at an early age can be very rewarding and inspiring to others, as well.
