$1.7 million software grant will aid marine research at CCU
Coastal Carolina University's marine research capabilities have received a significant boost thanks to geoscience software company Seismic Micro-Technology Inc., which has agreed to provide the University with an advanced computer software package for a period of three years.
The grant will supply software, valued at $1,776, 523, that interprets geological data in marine environments, according to Rich Viso, assistant director of CCU's Burroughs & Chapin Center for Marine and Wetland Studies. The software, known as the Kingdom Suite system, "improves our technical ability to visualize and interpret the seismic data we collect for our sub-bottom profile studies," said Viso.
The center conducts a series of ongoing studies that examine coastal geological processes. University scientists and students have mapped many square miles of the seafloor, gathering valuable data about mineral and sand resources as well as biological habitats. The software system provided through this grant is particularly useful in the center's sub-bottom profiling studies, providing better tools to create images and maps of the layers of sediment that lie below the seafloor.
The Kingdom Suite system—which is used extensively by the petroleum industry in exploring for undersea gas and oil reserves—is also a valuable tool for training students, according to Viso.
Brilliant exhibition opens at CCU in January
Coastal Carolina University's Rebecca Randall Bryan Art Gallery will exhibit "Weaving, Stacking, Staining," a large-scale work by visiting artist Jonathan Brilliant. Visitors to the gallery can watch the artist at work Jan. 9 to 19. An opening with the artist will be held Thursday, Jan. 19 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The work will remain on display through Feb. 17.
CCU celebrates Martin Luther King Jr.
The Rev. Samuel Billy Kyles, pastor of Monumental Baptist Church in Memphis, Tenn., will be the featured speaker for the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 12, in Wheelwright Auditorium at Coastal Carolina University. The event is free with a ticket and open to the public.
CCU's Inspirational Ambassadors (Gospel Choir) will also be featured in the celebration.
Born in Shelby, Miss., in 1934, Kyles has been pastor of Monumental Baptist Church since 1959. After Memphis sanitation workers went on strike in February 1968 because of low wages and poor working conditions, Kyles helped to form and lead community support for the striking workers. Part of that effort involved persuading King to come to Memphis in support of the strike. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis.
Kyles has maintained his involvement with civil rights work since the 1960s. He is a founding member of the national board of "People United to Save Humanity" (PUSH), the executive director of Rainbow-PUSH Memphis and the executive producer of Rainbow-PUSH WLOK Radio. He has received many honors and awards, including the Tennessee Living Legend Award in 1992.
This event is part of the Multicultural Celebration Series and is co-sponsored by CCU's African American Initiative for Males (AAIM) and the Office of Multicultural Student Services. For more information, call 843-349-2863.
Coastal Carolina University announces 2012 Jackson Scholars
Seven Coastal Carolina University students have been selected as the 2012 Jackson Scholars, a student leadership program sponsored by the University's Jackson Family Center for Ethics and Values.
The new class of scholars, beginning January 2012, includes Cheryl Anthony, a philosophy major and pre-law minor from Murrells Inlet; Amber Eckersley, a history major and art history minor from Conway; Miranda Frederick, a theatre major from Chapin; Alex Mosier, a biology major from Pawleys Island; Kara Olson, a communication major from Victoria, Minn.; Kaitlyn Page, a political science major and pre-law minor from Aynor; and Caitlyn Rhodes, a history major and pre-law minor from Loris.
The Jackson Scholars are required, as a part of the program, to complete two years of ethical leadership studies in the classroom, spend two semesters as counselors through the Summer Ethics Academy, create and perform an ethics-focused internship in the community, and prepare an annual report to the Jackson family. The scholars receive $1,000 annually to assist with personal costs associated with the program.
The Jackson Family Center for Ethics and Values was founded in 2004 by area business and civic leaders Nelson and Mary Emily Platt Jackson. The primary focus of the Jackson Center is to cultivate awareness throughout the academic and surrounding communities of the importance and lifelong rewards of personal and professional integrity.
Elect Her training seminar at CCU in January
Coastal Carolina University will host the Elect Her – Campus Women Win training program on Saturday, Jan. 28, in the Kline Hospitality Suite at Brooks Stadium.
Elect Her – Campus Women Win is a program that encourages and trains young women to run for student government on their campuses and, ultimately, for elected and leadership positions following graduation. This four-year-old program is a collaborative effort between the American Association of University Women (AAUW) and the nonprofit organization Running Start. This is the second year the event has been hosted by CCU.
According to the Southeastern Institute for Women in Politics, South Carolina ranks last in the nation for the percentage (8.8 percent) of women elected to serve in the S.C. Legislature (Colorado leads the nation with 41 percent). In the current state legislature, there are no women senators and only 16 women serving in the House of Representatives. The Elect Her – Campus Women Win initiative aims to close the long-standing political leadership gender gap by empowering and training women to run for office at all levels, including leadership positions at colleges and universities
Registration is free and open to Coastal students, but space is only available for the first 50 students who sign up. Registration is coordinated through the Office of University Activities and Leadership and applications are to be turned into the office by Wednesday, Jan. 25. For more information, contact the office at 843-349-2301.

Add a few drop of fabric softner to your water when wetting dyed reed, helping to keep your dyed reed as dyed as possible and to prevent bleeding. Your natual reed should be wetter than yours dyed reed, so that the dyed reed wick that water to it without color and not the natural reed wicking from the dyed reed with color. The dryer you weave with both the better.
Cane has two sides the right sided is the bark and only take the dye in some places. The wrong side of the cane is porous and take the dye very good. You can weave with either side. Using the right side give you a mute look. Using the wrong side out will give you a bright look.
Please allow two to three weeks for delivery. I do not keep large stock so that reed and cane is fresh. Weather can cause longer delay. If it is rainy or very humid I do not dye.
Additional shipping fees may apply for orders from Alaska or Hawaii, so please call for shipping charges.
Prices Increase
Reed and Cane prices are going up with every shipment we receive, since supplies are being held up in China. These prices are for current stock and will increase as I dye new reed and cane. Thank you for your understanding.

Handmade leather and canvas travel pouch
Material: Leather, Canvas
Brand: La Portenga
Origin: Spain
Jose Urrutia, the founder of Madrid-based accessories and footwear label La Portegna, is something of a hopeless romantic — at least when it comes to travel. As a child, he used to sit in his family's attic poring over old travel photo albums. Of course he had some pretty good material on his hands, considering his grandmother took a little jaunt to Africa with a fellow named Ernest Hemingway back in 1933. Urrutia took his own excursion in his youth, traveling solo around the world with nothing but a backpack, but entered the corporate world soon thereafter. All he needed for a reboot was a trip to the Argentine Pampa, and La Portegna was born. The company crafts everything from bags and pouches to travel slippers, but the goal of each is the same: Make sure travel is about the journey itself, not just the destination.

I am trying to identify a camellia that is about 40 years old. The plant itself is about 8-10 tall, and the flowers are hot pink with yellow stamens and about 5" in diameter, and the leaves dark leathery green (sorry, it's not a very exciting one) - see pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/weedsbloom/sets/72157625286618291/ Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Here's a workable link to your photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/weedsbloom/sets/72157625286618291/ Sorry, but I can't help you with an ID. |
Definitely a Camellia japonica cultivar. There are legions of those, but this may be a comparatively common one. You might try taking samples of the flowering shoots to local independent garden center(s) to see if they have the same one in stock, or can recognize it without having matching plants to compare with. If there is a camellia membership organization operating in your vicinity going to one of their meetings or shows might result in an identification. Of course, if you showed up at a membership meeting, got you plant named and then took off that might be a bit awkward. Shows are much more public, non-members filtering in and out the whole time. |

Hello, which ornamental grasses have reseeded for you in Colorado? Did you consider any of them downright invasive? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by katgardener 5 (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 14 at 16:41
Much as I love them, my blue oats (Heliotrochon sempervirons) are starting to get that way, but only the ones that are in more fertile soil and some shade and more (as opposed to no!) watering. The ones in the picture are in sand and are virtually rainfall-only. |
- Posted by katgardener 5 (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 14 at 17:45
I lied. I just found a few strands of blue oat in the middle of my lavender on my dry sandy slope. |
- Posted by Denver_Designer 5 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 14 at 20:20
No kidding! My neighbor planted blue oat grass about three years ago, and it has been so well-behaved. But then, he has clay soil. Thanks for letting me know. |
Many of the "native" grasses that have become popular in recent years will reseed, like sideoats grama, glue grama, little bluestem, Indian grass, etc. But then it's logical that they would, because those are the grasses that grow--and spread--in the tall and short grass grasslands like the Oglala National Grasslands in the Panhandle of Nebraska. In spring and early summer the grasslands are a beautiful sight to behold! If you stay away from the "grassland natives," and look for the more "ornamental" grasses, most of them will behave pretty well for you. And many of the newer hybrids are sterile, so they pose no problems at all. An example is Fescue! The green fescues used in lawns will reseed all over the place, but the hybrids of the ornamental blue fescues, like 'Elijah's Blue', a favorite of mine, is sterile. In many cases the straight species are the ones that can be a problem, but if you find hybrids of the genus you're looking for, you won't have a problem. For instance, there is a straight species Miscanthus growing on the Atlantic coast that is a noxious weed and is apparently causing a lot of problems, but the Miscanthus hybrids (which I LOVE) are mostly sterile or virtually sterile. So you can't rule out a whole genus because there can be "bad" ones and "good" ones within any genus, and you can't even rule out a genus/species, because that straight genus/species might reseed, but a hybrid of the same genus/species would be fine! Basically, the best general advice is to look for hybrid varieties, and then maybe google them to see what comes up--but beware the Naysayers when you google them, because there are people out there who throw the baby out with the bathwater--they rage against ALL Miscanthuses because they're just too lazy to figure out which ones are ok! I'll copy my list of OGs that "may self seed" here, but it's copied from a Word document, so I'm not sure how well it's going to "translate" when it's copied here! You'll notice that there are no hybrids on this list! I'm sure there are things that are not on this list, but at least it's a place to start! Ornamental Grasses That May Self Seed Alopecurus -- Meadow Foxtail Hope this helps some at least! Skybird |

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, Skybird! |
My blue oats won't reseed, but I sure wish they would! My pennisetum doesn't either, nor does my miscanthus ('Morning Light' cultivar). I don't grow stipa but have seen tiny tufts of self-seeded ones around my work building. Chasmanthium is my absolute favorite ornamental grass ever, I get maybe 1 or 2 babies a year from it (but they usually don't make it through the summer, not sure why...sob....). |
- Posted by katgardener 5b (My Page) on Wed, Jun 4, 14 at 21:33
I didn't think that Northern Sea Oats were hardy enough to survive here. But then, I'm beginning to think that Colo Spgs and the Denver area are very different. For that matter, we have a tremendous number of microclimates just here in the Springs! |
- Posted by Denver_Designer 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 4, 14 at 21:46
I've heard that northern sea oats can get downright invasive in Denver, but I don't know that from personal experience. |

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
More than 100,000 people of working age are diagnosed with cancer in the UK each year. There are currently more than 700,000 people of working age living with a cancer diagnosis. Many will continue to work after or even through their treatment.
Many people living with cancer tell Macmillan that work is important to them. A job can restore normality, routine, stability, social contact and income. Not only that, but for people with ill health or disability, remaining in or returning to work can actually help to promote recovery and lead to better health outcomes. Being able to work is also important to carers for similar reasons.
At Macmillan, we know that employers play an important role in supporting people with cancer and their carers|. But as an employer or line manager, you may not always feel confident about how best to support them. There are challenges at the time of diagnosis, during treatment, at the time of returning to work and afterwards. We also recognise you need to meet the needs of other individuals in the workplace and your organisation as a whole. In these difficult situations, you yourself may be affected in both a practical and personal way.
This guide gives information and practical advice about how you can support employees affected by cancer, including examples of best practice. It also covers your responsibilities as an employer and your employees' rights. We have more information in the work section| on our website.
Throughout this guide, we've included quotes from people affected by cancer in the workplace. These were sourced during research carried out by Macmillan. Names have been changed.
Supporting employees diagnosed with cancer makes business sense for employers. By making reasonable adjustments, you can retain your employees and allow them to perform to their potential. And by being confident about disability issues, you can avoid legal risk as well as enhance the performance of the organisation and the individuals within it.
Taking some simple actions such as these can make a big difference to your staff and your organisation:
These changes are not normally difficult to implement. Many adjustments have no cost at all. Where there is some cost, it's usually small, and grants from the Access to Work| or Access to Work (NI)| scheme can cover some or all of it.
More than 70% of organisations that make workplace adjustments consider them to be easy.
There is a clear business case for supporting people affected by cancer to return to work. Here are some of the many benefits:
Almost four in ten people (37%) who return to work after cancer treatment say they experience some kind of discrimination from their employer or colleagues.
Being supportive of your employee affected by cancer will make a huge difference to them as they go through this difficult time. You can help reduce their anxiety and give them the confidence to deal with cancer at work.
Macmillan research has shown that two of the most important factors in a successful adjustment back to work are a good relationship with the employer and a phased return to work.
Whether you have an employee with cancer or not, you may want to raise awareness of the condition in your organisation.
You could highlight the support you can offer if an employee is affected by cancer in the future.
This may simply involve putting up a poster, observing cancer awareness months| or encouraging people to take part in fundraising.
Order The essential work and cancer toolkit| to share with other employees at your organisation. It includes a range of resources designed to help employers support people affected by cancer.
It's essential to work with the employee. Everyone has individual needs and aspirations, and employers need to treat each case independently. For example, flexible working can be as simple as allowing the employee to come in late occasionally if they're feeling unwell. Maintaining good communication between the employee and the line manager is crucial.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free* (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm).
*See information about calling our support line from a mobile|.
If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.

We've detected you are coming from a location where we have a regional site.Please choose one of the following sites:
15/02/2010 Hasselblad recently asked three world-class photographers to test drive the H4D-40 on location shoots on three continents. Michael Grecco, USA; Steve McCurry, USA; and Kevin Then, Malaysia, share their reactions to the new camera system's performance in challenging conditions.
Michael Grecco, the Los Angeles-based celebrity portraiture photographer who has produced dramatic magazine covers, ads, and commercial images for 20 years, is known for his conceptual style and dramatic lighting and set-ups. Grecco loves working on location, so he brought the H4D-40 to Death Valley, for the "amazing scenery. The shoot was sort of fashion, sort of portraiture, but not. I had our model crawl over a ridge like the famous picture of Jerry Hall on the Roxy Music cover. It has an edgy, otherworldly feel."Continues Grecco, "The sense of gravity you get when you pick up the H4D-40 is that what's in front of it is important. The camera is ergonomically amazing. I never have it on a tripod. I move quickly between vertical and horizontal, focusing fast and easily with True Focus. The camera goes well with my style, and is great to hold and run with. Three words that signify Hasselblad to me: quality, big, and reliability. I love it."Photo by Michael GreccoKevin Then, of Malaysia, co-owner of SG Bridal House for the past nine years, shoots pre-wedding and wedding day photography. Known for making his couples look like stars, Then explains, "A wedding photo shouldn't be just traditional with the bride just standing around wearing a wedding gown. My style is to make it more dramatic, more romantic. Like a movie director, I want the picture a certain way, with everything perfect - the dress, veil, face, makeup, hairstyle. This picture will be with the couples their whole lives."He adds, "When I first held the Hasselblad, I had the feeling this is the right camera for me. It makes my life easier. I call my H4D 'my baby.' When you look in the viewfinder, everything is huge inside. For the Hasselblad shoot, I used a very wide angle, everything in sunlight, to show details in faces, gowns, and flowers.

No wonder used car lots are flying red and yellow flags and have streamers everywhere. People are incredible and respond in such a predictable way. I visited Andy's this week and lost my shirt but gained a dozen unusual Coelogynes. I thought I'd make up the emptiness in my pocket by selling some divisions at our monthly meeting tonight. I took 14 plants to silent auction. In my opinion they were all of roughly equal value and I put an equal asking price on them. Half were in bloom the others were of equal size but not in bloom. Some were duplicates, eg 2 Masdies with an equal number of leaves, identical tags, one in bloom, the other not. Every one of the plants in bloom sold, none of the ones not in bloom were taken. The Masdie in bloom was bid up while the identical non blooming plant was ignored. Oh well, human nature is so easily influenced. Retailer know this and play on our weakness. Now I can go back to Andy's, he has 250,000 more plants I need to consider. Nick |

People will always pay more for blooming plants. Since the bloomers and the non-bloomers were equally priced, I wonder if people felt like the out of bloom plants were not as good of a deal by comparison. Next time maybe you could mark the bloomers up by a couple of dollars or mark the out of bloom knock down by a couple of dollars. BTW if I lived near Andy's I would end up needing to sell a lot more than 14 plants. |
Did the non-blooming ones have pictures with them? That helps a lot. I won't hesitate to buy a healthy non-blooming plant if I know what the flower looks like. |

No pictures, on the other side of the hall however, large plants in bloom were on display. Takes a minim amount of ingenuity to connect the two. I thought people who are into collecting orchids are more savvy. No problem I usually only bring plants ion bloom to the silent auction table, need to continue with that policy. Nick |

These days most of the orchids I buy are out of bloom, especially at our member auction. Do most members only bring blooming plants? |
Before we sold our house and moved from NY, I donated a bunch of plants to my OS. The rest I decided to try and sell on Craigs List. I didn't want all sorts of people coming to my house so decided to advertise that orchids would be for sale on one weekend. It was early spring and I put them outside on my driveway and arranged for everyone to come that Sat/Sun. Many of the plants were out of bloom so I asked my hubby to print photos of them (which I had) and place the photos with the bloom dates next to each pot. Large specimen sized plants got an 8x10. I was suprised at the turnout. I had so many people show up I had trouble handling the crowd! I was not organized and wound up with people going in my house and offering me money for some of my tables, lamps, etc. I even sold some artificial plants. I thought, 'maybe I could get some of these people to buy my house'! I sold most of the plants I had for sale. Everyone seemed to be happy enough to take the plant with the photo and the expected bloom date. I have no doubt, if I didn't have the photos, those non-bloomers would not have sold or I would have had to sell them for practically nothing. Jane |

I know what you are saying but I'm still amazed how unsavy people are. 2 Masd Angel Tang, each about 10 leaves one with one flower, both priced at $10. These are identical plants and orchid growers should know that. The one with the solitary flower was bid up to $17, the other one was ignored. Someone bid less than $17 and did not get the plant, that person could have gotten the other one for $10 which is less than the loosing bid of $16. But they are so fixed on the flower that they cannot see that. My daughter is a physician so is suspect of being intelligent. Yet no matter how any times I prove to her that one large pizza has more pizza than 2 mediums and costs less, she continues ordering 2 mediums even though they are willing to split the large into 2 types of toppings. Same thing as the 2 Masdies, just illogical knee jerk reactions. Flower--YES, no flower---NO. The silent auction did produce an unexpected side effect. I took a gigantic Onc sphacelatum for display, a guy showed up the next day and took $100 worth of divisions from it. The photo I put up on the gallery today is taken after the divisions, does not look any different. 2 gals showed up and took $240 worth of Pleuro and Masdie divisions. They did not want to deal with the silent auction but got a taste of what I have. Now I have to go back to Andy's before that money burns a hole in my pocket. The beauty of having large plants is that I can tell them that they can have a division of any large plant for $10. They went wild. 24 divisions later my collection does not look any different but everyone is happy including Andy only he doesn't know it yet. Nick |

How many of us has purchased a labeled plant, only to discover when the blooms arrived that it was something else? Is that D. kingianum really white-flowering? If there are blooms on the plant being sold, you can see. If there are no blooms, it can be a case of wait and see. Some growers are rather sloppy with label accuracy. Others take great care and if I am aware the offering is from one of those growers, I can be more confident that the plants will be as labeled. Plants sold with photos of the flowers to be expected can give the impression that the labeler takes greater care for accuracy. Some past disappointments can cause buyers to be more cautious with their non-flowering orchid purchases, whether they hesitate consciously or not. |

Les espadrilles les plus confortables. Je les ai usées à la corde.
Sized as Expected
Normally I buy slender footed shoes. However from years (in my youth) of wearing heals my pinky toe becomes irritated by friction in running shoes. My foot is slender and they are not wide however to give my pinky toe some room I opted for this shoe. At a whim I thought it would be too wide in all areas and would only fit comfy for my toes however I was wrong. It was a dream to wear from the moment I slipped them on. They are deep healed for support. Slightly wider on the side but not too much. The laces are just further apart. Which gives room for people with wider feet to get the full coverage. I keep my laces tight. But the small little bit of room on the sides gives my toes enough room to breath but without letting them slip. I wear a size 7 women's normal width but this shoe gave me what I dreamed of having with a shoe and more. Regardless of being designed for wider feet. Just keep the laces tight and you'll be fine.
Sized as Expected
I used this product for walks in my city's river valley trails and hiking in the rocky mountains

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 Charlie!
Facts about Charlie
- Breed: Border Collie/Redbone Coonhound Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Charlie's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Charlie is an adorable baby. His mom is a border collie mix and his dad is believed to be a redbone hound. He is an affectionate, loving, playful pup who would be a wonderful addition to any family.
At 8 weeks of age as of 1/2/12, he is currently too young to be neutered. He is in the process of receiving age appropriate vaccinations and will be neutered as soon as he is old enough. He will be available for transport after February 10th.
Other Pets at Saving The Animals Together - PA
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Charlie, a Carlisle Border Collie/Redbone Coonhound puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Collie/Redbone Coonhound for sale in Carlisle, or seeking a Border Collie/Redbone Coonhound puppy from a breeder in Carlisle.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Carlisle 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 Carlisle 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 Border Collie/Redbone Coonhound breeders who help with Border Collie/Redbone Coonhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Carlisle paves the way for another one to be saved.

Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. Donation Benefits Trail Maintenance Across the Yampa Valley
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO-July 9, 2013-Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation will donate $5,000 to Routt County Riders' trail maintenance fund as well as provide a one-time $15 Steamboat Bike Park ticket during the 2013 summer season for members of Routt County Riders in lieu of Sponsorship Day.
"Mother Nature just wouldn't cooperate with us as we worked to host the inaugural Routt County Riders Sponsorship Day on two occasions," said Jim Schneider, vice president of skier services for the Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation. "The resort is committed to its partnership with Routt County Riders and the $5,000 donation seemed an ideal way to keep the spirit of Sponsorship Day alive and moving forward for years to come."
This spring, the resort unveiled Routt County Riders Sponsorship Day as a way to kick off the summer bike season on the mountain. After two unsuccessful attempts due to inclement weather to host Sponsorship Day, the resort decided to donate $5,000 to be used for trail maintenance across the Yampa Valley by Routt County Riders. The resort anticipates hosting Sponsorship Day again next summer when it opens for the 2014 season.
"We are thrilled with Steamboat Ski Resort's generosity," said Routt County Riders vice president Eric Meyer. "The $5,000 that it has committed to trail maintenance will go a long way as we continue plans for 20 trail work days throughout Routt County this summer. Throwing in the $15 Bike Park pass for every Routt County Riders member was really icing on the cake!"
In addition to its donation, the resort is offering one-time $15 Steamboat Bike Park ticket (regularly $36) during the 2013 summer season for members of Routt County Riders. Routt County Riders members can bring their membership card to the Steamboat ticket office beginning Tuesday, July 9, and continuing any time throughout the summer to receive a one-time discounted Steamboat Bike Park all-day ticket for $15. Furthermore, Steamboat Ski Resort will honor the limited-time deal for anyone who renews or joins Routt County Riders by noon on Sunday, July 14th.
For membership information, to renew or join visit www.routtcountyriders.org or sign up in person at the following Routt County Riders events: July 12 – Better Living Through Trails presentation, library, 5:30 p.m.; July 13 – IMBA Trail Care Crew Class, library, 9 a.m.; and July 14 – Routt County Riders tent in Gondola Square, 9 a.m. to noon.
During the summer of 2012 the resort introduced its new Steamboat Bike Park to rave reviews. Working in conjunction with legendary trail developers Gravity Logic, the long awaited plan for downhill biking became a reality in the Yampa Valley with five trails including one expert jump trail and a new fleet of mountain bikes specially designed to tackle the new terrain. This summer, the Steamboat Bike Park continues to grow with the completion of Tenderfoot, a beginner downhill trail and Rawhide, an expert trail featuring rolling rock drops and steep, sharp turns.
Formed in the early 1990s, Routt County Riders, an International Mountain Bicycling Association chapter, is a nonprofit organization that represents all variations of biking including mountain biking, road biking, downhill/ free riding, adaptive cycling, youth cycling and commuting. Its mission is to unite all bicyclists in Steamboat Springs and Routt County to create a fun, healthy and safe bicycle-friendly community benefitting local citizens and visitors alike. It is a volunteer-based, membership-driven bicycle advocacy group that works with numerous governmental agencies and community businesses and organizations to advocate for, promote and enhance all forms of cycling, roads and trails in Routt County.

Countertop people came in today and deeply scratched our brand new wood floor near the island. Looks like they did this when they moved the island from its original location (why they did this is beyong me)so I'm sure there are scratches under it that will be exposed when we have to move it back. That being said, this wood floor is tongue and grooved and glued down. Would you expect them to pay for new boards being installed? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, I'd say the question is, do YOU expect them to pay? I would. |
Looked at again this morning and it looks like I can move the island about 4 inches and cover the scratsheds up if the other side isn't sctatched. If I can do this, I will demand they compensate me for chnaging my locatiuon of the island to cover up their mistake. |
A suggestion: Since your island is mobile to a degree, what happens if you decide you need to adjust it? I'd insist upon repairs. YOU can move it later. But just covering it up could come back and bite you, because you'll only get one chance for repairs. OH!!! I'd also find out what's on the bottom that's scratching the floor when you move it!!! Grit? A nail? Because moving it again could create more gouges. What a heartbreak! |
Good point. |

Our granite installers didn't damage our floors but they did damage our island cabinetry. Then the electricians damaged them more! Waiting to hear back about how it's all going to be fixed. So frustrating. |

Tell your countertop guy that you are going to submit a claim to his liability insurance carrier. That should prompt him to repair the floor. You are not due back $$$, but he is responsible to repair the damage. Do you really think it is moral to try to shake the guy down for money? Things happen on every job and he has the right (and the responsibility) to get it fixed. Did you hire him separately than your general contactor? I assume you asked and received copies of his insurance before he set foot on your property. Every homeowner should expect and request this info prior to entering into a contract. If they don't have it, run the other way. No, you shouldn't hold back any payment for the damage that exceeds the lowest of three bids to repair the damage. In my state that is called unjust enrichment and the contractor can file a lien on your house and recover interest and attorney fees. Hopefully you have pictures of the floor before he came on the jobsite. |

You island should be permanently fastened down! It's a pretty big safety hazard to have heavy stone on top of something that can tip. So, although the stone fabricator should have the insurance necessary to repair the wood, the cabinet fabricator was incredibly negligent here and you need to have him come back out and finish the job. |
It was the countertop people who told me I didn't need it fastened down and they admitted that when they came and looked at the floors. They are going to contact my flooring guys and talk it over with them on what the best way to ficx the floors will be. Whole remodeling project should have been completed today and now it looks like good while before we can get back to normal. |
This same thing happened to us! What happened in your situation? In ours the GC didnt hire the countertop installers we did. It never occurred to me they or the GC wouldnt protect the floors. Of course the GC says his countertop people would never have brought the stone in without paper on the floors. I am so distraught and sickened by the scratches. The problem is also compounded by the fact the flooring people hired by the GC put the final coat of poly on the floors before the remaining work was done. Now the GC says he will see how much they will charge to recoat the floor. Really? I think the GC should have been on top of this to begin with. Who's at fault? Please help! |
laura0718 - well IMHO your GC is not at fault - you hired the countertop people yourself so you/they are responsible - did you contact the countertop people about this? That's what I would do. |

Crochet lace necklaces
Brilliant trendy and classic styles crochet inspired jewelry for women that love fashion.
Perfect addition to your outfit are statement necklaces. They are perfect to complete an outfit or to make it more extraordinary and unique. In case you like to be dressed up more monochromatic, you can always wear a statement necklace to stand out and draw attention up.Same goes for dark colors or if you wear a maxi dress, to brighten things up. You can also wear it under the collar. In case you wear bright colors, you just need to choose the necklace more carefully. It's great if you wear the shoes matching with necklace.
It has to be homogeneous enough to work (slant match). Whatever you choose, it has to look intentionally. Wearing lots of make-up together with colorful necklace is a choice for the ones who knows exactly how to combine it.
Step out of your comfort-zone and define yourself as unique, confident and interesting woman!
Use the rule "less is more" and "one at the time" and your are safe to use any kind of statement necklace! Try to take an advantage of the middle ground between plain and grandiose and avoid attention-grabbing patterns. There are many trends in fashion jewelry.Statement necklaces you will find on this site, are all vintage-inspired even though they are far from old antique jewelry.
Antique jewelry is so interesting and inspiring, especially when you combine it with modern elements. Vintage accessories add sophistication to wearer's look and it's much easier to look unique when you choose vintage pieces than modern.
It's about trends and fashion and most of all - about being individual, unique and different. Questions, ideas, or any kind of comments are more than welcome and you are also welcome to visit my Crochet2Chic webpage.

So you need a website, but don't know exactly how to go about getting one? This article will help explain the steps you need to get a website of your very own, and have it available for all the world to see. The only three (3) things you need to get a website up on the internet are: 1. website 2. domain name 3. web hosting account
The first step to creating your online presence is actually getting yourself a website. You can either hire a web designer or web design company to build one for you (in which case they will likely also set you up with a domain name and a web hosting account), or you can built it yourself. If you would like to build your own website but don't know how to write HTML code (the language used to make web pages), then you can simply use one of the many available "HTML editors" or "Website Builder" programs. These programs can make building a website as easy as writing a document in Microsoft Word. Click here for more information on building your own website.
You also need a domain name for your website..... an address that people will type into their Internet Browsers to be taken to your website. Examples of domain names are: www.microsoft.com, www.yahoo.com, and www.hostedtoday.com. Everything after the "www" is considered the domain name, and is registered to the owner of the associated website. In order to get your own domain name, you have to "register" one at a "domain name registrar". Registering a domain name is a relatively simply process.... you merely have to search for a domain name you want, see if it's available (i.e. make sure no one else has registered it), and complete a registration form at the registrars website. You will also have to provide payment details because domain name registrations are not free. Domain name registration prices are typically anywhere from $15.00 to $50.00 per year, depending on the registration company you choose. Even though there are hundreds of domain name registration companies to choose from, they are all affiliated in some way with the main registry where all domain name registrations are held. Therefore, when you register a domain name with any domain name registrar, your registration will be placed with the main registrar so that no one else will be able to register the same domain name. Your registered domain name will remain yours as long as you continue to pay your annual registration fee. Click here to learn more about domain names, and how to register them.
Finally, you need a web hosting account where your website will be hosted. Websites must be stored on a "server" that is connected to the internet, and allows other people to connect to it, to view your website. A web hosting account is basically your own designated portion of a server, that you are given access to in order to display your website. Without a web hosting account, your newly created website would simply remain on your own hard drive (where you would have created your website), and no one would be able to see it except for you. Uploading your website to your own web hosting account on a server will make your website available for all the world to see. Click here to learn more about web hosting.
It really doesn't matter in which order you get the above three items, because you need all three in order to have a fully functional website. If you are concerned about your branding and feel it is important to secure the domain name you want (i.e. before someone else registers it), you might want to register your domain name first. But that doesn't mean you have to immediately go out and build your website and get a hosting account. In fact, there are many companies that simply register a domain name for later use.... and then wait years before actually putting it to use. It would seem to make the most sense to have a website ready to be published to a web hosting account, before actually ordering the hosting account...... however, that is not always the case. There are many companies that want to set up email addresses, and have them working prior to actually having a website. In those cases, they would have to get a web hosting account, because email is an integral part of the hosting account. With a web hosting account and a domain name, you can setup and have your email accounts functioning properly, before having an actual website. You can then proceed to build your website whenever you're ready.
Once you have a website, a domain name, and a web hosting account, you have everything you need to get your very own website on the internet! Click here for more information on uploading your website to the internet.

He parties nearer the top with every album, and this is his best major-label outing yet. The Beatlesish guitar of ''Thanks to You,'' the rotgut Delta blues of ''The Mississippi Mudcat and Sister Sheryl Crow'' (in which Marty spies ''a damsel in dis dress''), and other smart little touches raise Honky Tonkin's What I Do Best way above country's current crop of corn.

In Conspiracy Theory (Warner Bros.), Mel Gibson plays a New York City cabdriver named Jerry Fletcher for whom a car radio tuned to the rantings of Howard Stern is superfluous. Jerry is a geyser of paranoid political fantasies, and no passenger is safe from his ruminations about what They are doing to Us. Jerry sees plots and auguries of no good in everything from the death of Jerry Garcia to the success of Oliver Stone (well, who doesn't?), and as he drives around town, he delivers his pensees with the intensity of a downtown poet.
Of course, Jerry also happens to be right. They are indeed out to get Us and, in particular, Jerry, who has flashbacks and premonitions of danger. Then some guys, led by a creepy psychiatrist played by Patrick Stewart, almost kill him, which is compelling evidence of trouble. Except that it takes a good long time before Jerry is able to convince Alice Sutton, a brave and lovely Justice Department lawyer, that she really should help him. Fortunately, Alice is played by Julia Roberts, so you know she will, and does, and the two proceed to outwit the evil masterminds bent on world domination.
At least, that's what They at Warner Bros. want you to think. In fact, Conspiracy Theory is a plot to make you buy the idea of attractive Lethal Weapon star Mel Gibson as a cabbie (''Where to, pal?'' he asks a passenger much too politely to make it in NYC). That way you're set up for when director Richard Donner who worked with Gibson on all three audience-pleasing Weapons switches the movie from a really interesting, jittery, literate, and witty tone poem about justified contemporary paranoia (and the creatively unhinged dark side of New York City) to an overloaded, meandering iteration of a Lethal Weapon project that bears the not-so-secret stamp of audience testing and tinkering.
How else to explain the transformation of Gibson about the only Hollywood powerhouse around capable of letting himself go so unvainly loose and nuts from compelling eccentric to love- inspired hero? How else to explain the ridiculously fuzzy contours of Julia Roberts' Alice, a character so underdeveloped that the actress (who, nevertheless, gives it a good shot, only adding to her plus column this summer following the success of My Best Friend's Wedding) has nothing much to do except beam, scream, and team?
In the first half of Conspiracy Theory (written with verve by Brian Helgeland, who also did wonders on the upcoming L.A. Confidential), production designer Paul Sylbert and cinematographer John Schwartzman give New York a crazed look of Watch your back! In the second half, when They take over, sense of place falls away so precipitously that the last sight we see is Roberts beaming as she rides a horsey in the country. Why? Ask Oliver Stone. B-

When you think of basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, fashion editorials may be the last thing that come to mind. The Kobe Bryant 'White Hot' spread, however, revealed by the Los Angeles Times Magazine with the help of photographer Ruven Afanador and stylist James Valeri, has brought new light to the basketballer.
Decked out in all-white minimalist clothing, including of-the-moment brands like Rick Owens and Ann Demeulemeester, the Kobe Bryant 'White Hot' shoot shows off Bryant's softer side. Soft maybe, but his fashionable entrance to the cover shoot, by chopper no less, was a little less understated.

Dan, you always have exquisite taste and execution. Your seedlings are wonderful. You might want to show here also the seedling bed with great looking stone wall you showed on the Hosta Seed Growers forum, I love your work! Bernd |
Very nice, Dan...can you tell us what the names of the hostas are? Thanks |
Thanks Jan, Deb, Bernd and Don! Deb, the lower third part of the bed gets hit by the lawn sprinkler. I hand water the rest.

Gorgeous Dan. Beautiful combinations of texture and color. The Hostas look great in size for 5 years. Cher |
Dan, just beautiful! How deep is the bed(stones to side of house)? |
If there's one hosta that really stands out in that photo, it's Liberty. I couldn't believe that Liberty was mentioned in the "List your lemons" posting... Anyways Dan, you have the perfect combination of textures and colors there...even a good variety of small trees...By the way, are the hostas planted in spin-out bags? |
Pretty, great hosta and nice stones! bkay |
Thanks cyn427, bkay, and Don. cyn427 the bed is 11.5 feet front to back and the portion in the pic is 35 feet long. Don, no I didn't use spin out bags. I agree Liberty is a standout and am equally surprised that it would make that type of category. Thanks again for the nice comments! |

There has been very little activity in the transfer window as yet but the news has it that The Gunners have enquired about the Atletico Madrid winger Saul Niguez behind the scenes but they are to face stiff competition with their derby rivals Chelsea.
Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho are trying to land the 19-year-old midfield magician, who is lighting up La Liga on loan at Rayo Vallecano. It appears he may have caught the eye of Gunners boss with the Mirror claiming that Arsenal have already held talks with the 19-year-old's representatives about a move to the Emirates and are hoping to agree a deal this month.
Barcelona have also been sniffing but Arsenal – who already have two Spanish stars in Santi Cazorla and Mikel Arteta in their starting line-up – thought they were in pole position.
Now, however, Mourinho's late move – and the prospect for Saul of a starting role in the Chelsea side – has made the Blues genuine rivals.
The report also suggests that Niguez is willing to play in the Premier League and will try for a move when Arsenal and Chelsea come calling, with Atletico tipped to sell if the price is right due to their current financial problems.
