Patti's Saga of an RV Rookie: West Glacier, Montana's KOA; it's not Glacier Park, but it's cool!
September 25, 2011 by Patti F. · 4 Comments
We northwestern Montanans are privileged to claim Glacier National Park as our personal backyard. Read more about Montana campgrounds and things to do in Montana.
And the more boorish among us are pretty quick to let the entire world in on that…hence, this blog from your resident Woodall's boor.
A couple of weeks ago the Brazil Nut (a/k/a "my husband") and I were heading up to Glacier and decided to swing through the KOA just outside the Park .Search for a national park.
We stopped on a whim: I mean, how could a KOA compare with anything in Glacier Park? What could a KOA have to offer that the many lovely campsites at Glacier don't already have? Turns out, plenty…especially if you like a resort atmosphere, enough going on for young and older kids to keep whining at bay, and a good restaurant if you (or your family) are burned out on making dinner after traipsing around all day. We couldn't stay overnight, but I can share how beautiful and clean everything was, and what local lore has to say about the KOA:
The West Glacier KOA is like a resort because its atmosphere feels exclusive, yet it's open and welcoming to all. It has received the KOA Campground of the Year award, the KOA Founders award and the KOA President's Award. www.westglacierkoa.com
The grounds and scenery are awesome, befitting an RV park that is only 2.5 miles from the west entrance of Glacier National Park, and the world's finest rafting, hiking, horseback riding, and fishing ( I think). Overall, the West Glacier KOA has done things in such a way that each cabin and RV site seems special and upscale in its own right; small but mighty. Check it out yourself on this video the Brazil Nut made.
Touring days are tiring days, both indoors and out. I love this KOA because you come home to a playground with a cool basketball court. This matters if you've had to keep your children somewhat tethered all day. Even Glacier Park has rules and expectations and kids just can't be maniacs. It's nice to come back to a park like this with an outdoor heated pool and hot tubs so everyone can unwind. I like their game room; it's great for the arcade freaks of all ages. On to what matters most….food.
I don't know about other women, but I absolutely hate coming home after a touring day, and hearing everyone asking me "What's for dinner?" …unless I had the crock pot going all day. The West Glacier KOA has a terrific restaurant. They serve all kinds of breakfasts and the prices are pretty good. For example, they offer two eggs, bacon, and toast for $5.75. It's not cheap, but it's competitive with the area.
They offer things like a mountain trout dinner for $ 11.95 (includes two side dishes) and Flat Iron steak for $12.95. I haven't eaten there, but some of my local buddies have, and they say it's quite good. The restaurant serves cheesecake for dessert, but I'd put my money on SCOOPS, West Glacier's KOA ice-cream shop; the ice cream was good! As in, real good and real close to the RVs. Better not come if you're on a major weight loss campaign.
I think KOA is spendy. But, like many things in life, you get what you pay for, and maybe you don't get a chance to come to Montana very often. So live it up! Check out the West Glacier KOA website and see what you think. We plan on heading up to the West Glacier KOA very soon, because there is no place like Montana's great outdoors in September and October. Maybe you should come, too.
Happy tales,

The interest is encouraging:) The are several linked strands happening here at the same time. First and foremost, the Leveson Enquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the press is due to report in a matter of days, and the press is running scared that it will recommend a statutory framework to replace the self-policing arrangements that have been proven so weak, corrupt and ineffectual. However, it will be for the government, and in particular the Prime Minister to accept or reject the recommendations of the enquiry - because it was the Prime Minister who commissioned it and set its objectives. With a number of the most notorious culprits now established to be former employees (Coulson) and personal friends (Brooks) of David Cameron, the scope for embarrassment is wide. The enquiry itself has been a fascinating thing to watch - and I did watch much of it. Conducted in public, live and streamed to the internet, witnesses included celebrity-victims of journalistic methods, senior policemen, politicians including Blair, Gordon Brown and Cameron, journalists and editors and owners of all the press groups including the Murdochs. All were quizzed by barristers (some of whom became quite celebrated themselves) in a courtroom atmosphere - I found it highly watchable and instructive. Should anyone wish to delve into how these things are done, the entire proceedings are still available at: http://www.levesoninquiry.org.uk/hearings/ The coverage was split into: Module 1: The relationship between the press and the public and looks at phone-hacking and other potentially illegal behaviour. But - how would it play out in the USA? You will know better than me. We have a different sort of 'Freedom of the Press'. As with most of our freedoms, they are tempered with responsibilities and can not be considered 'absolute', though to hear the Editors screeching you would think the First Amendment applied here and of course it doesn't. It has struck me as strange that our non-free press is so notoriously free, crusading and rides very close to the law (sometimes crossing the line), while your totally free press is so restrained by comparison - the one exception being the group owned by the same Australian crook as the worst cases here. I would think that the Murdoch's will have cleverly restructured their concerns so as to minimise cross-infection from those parts of the English operation that will deemed illegal - as in Rebecca Brooks being director of News International but not of News Corp, etc. I am also sure that the corporate headquarters will remain in the US, where they will feel better protected by constitutional law. Best wishes |

As the date unfolds, the couple quickly finds that they are not alone on this unpredictable evening.

Title: Southern, East Africa Wary of West After Events in Libya
Teaser: Western interventions in Ivory Coast and Libya have confirmed
to the longstanding regimes in southern and East Africa that they
cannot trust the West to respect their interests in states undergoing
political upheaval.
Summary: Many governments in southern and East Africa have refused to
recognize the political legitimacy of Libya's National Transitional
Council. Western interventions in Libya, and previously in Ivory
Coast, have confirmed to these longstanding regimes that the West will
not respect their interests in African states facing political
upheaval. Eventually, in the case of Libya, they will have to
recognize the new government, but cooperation with Western countries
when political conflicts arise will be more circumspect. did they
really believe they would be respected before?
South African President Jacob Zuma, representing the African Union,
failed to attend the Sept. 1 "Friends of Libya" conference in Paris.
South Africa is one of several southern or East African countries,
including Angola, Kenya, Mozambique and Uganda, to refuse to recognize
the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government in
Libya. Pretoria has instead supported the African Union in calling for
an end to the Libyan war and the formation of an inclusive government
in Tripoli, which necessarily would include members of the former
regime of Moammar Gadhafi. The West ignored these calls in Libya, just
as it did previously in its intervention in Ivory Coast.
These developments in Ivory Coast and Libya have confirmed to the
southern African and East African countries that they cannot trust the
West to respect their interests in African states undergoing political
upheaval. As a result, these counties will be even less cooperative
with the West than before in addressing future political disputes in
Africa. Eventually, in the case of Libya, they will have to recognize
the new government, but cooperation with Western countries when
political conflicts arise will be more circumspect.
Unlike southern and East Africa, West African governments are
relatively confident in their current relations with the West. The
United States has positive relations with Nigeria and Liberia, and
U.S. President Barack Obama has recently met with the presidents of
Gabon, Benin, Niger and Guinea. France also maintains extensive
diplomatic and commercial relations throughout West Africa To me this
shows exactly the opposite. The interference by France in FrancAfrique
over the last decades has shown these countries that France will
interfere at will, and Paris and Washington cooperate with West
African governments on counterterrorism exercises. Western diplomatic
support and a French and U.N. military intervention in Ivory Coast
also enabled President Alassane Ouattara to assume power there earlier
in 2011 [LINK].
My memory is really hazy on IC. You state below that these same southern
and East African states were against the mission to unseat Gbagbo, but
were all the West African states you list were in favor? If the answer
is yes, there is consistency in the argument. If no, there is
inconsistency. I really can't remember the answer though.
Alternatively, the southern and East African countries now seeking a
peaceful resolution and broad-based government in Libya were doing the
same in Ivory Coast. These countries are dissimilar in political
orientation, but they are all governed by parties that came to power
during a Cold War struggle and that have tensions with the West. South
Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) received support from
the Soviet Union (while its nemesis, the National Party, which ruled
the apartheid state, was a client of the United States) I would hardly
classify the ANC's relations with the U.S. currently as "tense,"
though. Maybe during the apartheid era but that was a long time ago.
Agree, the US now seems either ambivalent or pro-ANC because of how
much people love Mandela image. Even more so they are worried about
what would happen if it became unmoderate and like Zimbabwe, the
Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) believes the
U.S. government is hostile to it you can scratch "believes" and just
state the reality, bc it definitely is hostile to it, and the Popular
Movement for the Liberation of Angola is not very confident in its
relationship with the United States and Europe i would make sure and
state that the MPLA actually has pretty solid connections with the
U.S. and Europe, much better now than at any other time in the MPLA's
history, but that still, mistrust lingers (don't have to get into a
litany of examples for why, and if we have a link to explain it we
can, but no need to distract from the core point of the piece) [THE
In 2008 the West gave political support to the leading opposition
parties in the Kenyan and Zimbabwean elections. Those instances of
Western involvement failed to bring about leadership change, but after
the cases of Ivory Coast and Libya -- where political support was
followed by recognition and military intervention -- the southern and
East African countries must be aware of the possibility that the
West's approach to the longstanding African regimes has changed
changed since 2008? Also France has long been willing to intefere in
FrancAfrique. And that was pre-Arab spring and unrelated. That to me was
normal french behaviour. They were also backing someone who had
significant military support domestically.
And I dont think the Libyan crisis is comparable to southern/eastern
africa. Libya is directly on the border of EU and impacted EU (esp Italy
its former master) in very important strategic way (migrants, terrorism
and energy cutoffs). And for Zimbabwe and Kenya on the other hand are far
away and no one really cares about the, and former british colonies and
anti-Q vitriol in public sphere is much more than anywere else
Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Kenya all will hold elections in
2012, and Uganda recently held elections and continues to see
political protests. In the near term, Zimbabwe is perhaps the most
vulnerable of these countries to Western influence. Zimbabwean Prime
Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) made
significant headway in the last elections, thanks in part to Western
political support [LINK]. Zimbabwe's neighbors already are distrustful
of the MDC and now will be even more so. The primary fear for southern
and East African regimes is that a pro-West Zimbabwean government
would serve as a beachhead for Western interference in the region. The
absence of a friendly home port or a government willing to allow
flyovers by Western air forces has made it difficult impossible for
the West to intervene as it did in Libya and Ivory Coast. this
sentence implies that there was a desire in the West to do so. there
wasn't. (no one wants to intervene in zimbabwe; nobody cares that
much.) i would reword this to state very clearly that it wasn't just
the lack of access that prevented it, but the lack of desire. But if
Tsvangirai overcame the odds and, within Western backing, took power
in Harare, it could change that.
First off, Tsvangirai could never 'take power' in Zimbabwe in the
absence of Western intervention. he could win an election, but would
not take power. what you mean to say in this sentence is that if T
somehow overcame the odds and won an election in Zim, it could change
the desire in the West to intervene. i personally still disagree with
this analytical point, but at least it is a somewhat valid argument,
as you could make some parallels to the events that preceded the
French mil ops in IC. BUT THE HUGE DIFFERENCES ARE THESE:
1) There were already French forces in IC
2) Even if there were not already French forces there, IC is a coastal
state so you could enter the country without having to deal with hostile
states blocking you. You claim above that a Tsvangirai-controlled
Zimbabwe would somehow pave the way for a Western military presence in
the country, but never address the fact that there is absolutely no way
Angola, Namibia, S. Africa or Mozambique would have ever allow its
entry. This has been the case in the recent past, and will be the case
in the future, even had IC or Libya never happened.
3) There was a preexisting guerrilla force in IC that did the majority
of the fighting; that doesn't exist in Zimbabwe and is years away, if it
ever arises.
Because of all these points I really don't think there can be an apt
comparison made between Zimbabwe and IC
Consequently, the countries in the region, particularly <link
nid="193088">South Africa</link>, can be expected to be even less
cooperative with the West in resolving a potential political crisis
following 2012 Zimbabwean elections. See this statement is true, but I
just don't think the talk about a military intervention can even be
discussed. S. Africa never would have allowed that to happen in 2008,
and it wouldn't have allowed it in 2012 even if NATO had not attacked
Libya, or the French Gbagbo
is this less-cooperativeness going to change actualities at all? SA was
cooperateive in any meaninglful sense and they wont be
Western political support for opposition parties in Zimbabwe, Kenya
and elsewhere is assured, but a military intervention is very unlikely
(STRATFOR has <link nid=193006">compared the examples of Zimbabwe and
Ivory Coast</link> to show why intervention is improbable). I made the
above comments before I read this line, but I didn't erase them
because I think there should be consistency in the wc in the piece
when discussing this idea. Saying "this could change that" above
implies that is our view. Putting this link here and saying you can't
make a comparison between IC and Zim contradicts that. You can say
that these states can't base their policy decisions on these
assumptions, and that's fine. (Though I don't think any of them are
really thinking Zim is the next IC or Libya.) But just need to make
consistent what STRATFOR's assessment of the likelihood is.
Nevertheless, the longtime regimes in these countries cannot base
their policy decisions on that assumption. The governments in southern
and East Africa cannot shape events in Libya and eventually will need
to recognize the political legitimacy of the National Transitional
Council. these previous two sentences read as if they are supposed to
be cause-and-effect but they are not related But relations between
them and the new Libyan government will be strained, and they will
redouble their resistance to Western meddling in their own backyard.

BLACKSBURG, Va., Sept. 19, 2012 – Community members are invited to learn more about designing spaces for individuals living with a disability on Oct. 4, in an event that will kick-off National Disability Employment Awareness Month on campus.
Julia O. Beamish, department head and professor of the Department of Apparel, Housing, and Resource Management will talk with attendees about designing spaces that are aesthetically appealing and usable by everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or status in life.
The presentation will discuss the seven major components of universal design and what they mean in practice. The principles of universal design offer guidelines for making the spaces and products we use every day more convenient and useable for everyone. The program will present research and design solutions that can be incorporated into homes and work spaces to enhance access, comfort, and function.
The event, which is hosted by the Department of Human Resources' office of University ADA Services, will begin at 9 a.m. in the auditorium in the Fralin Life Science Institute.
"These kitchens are truly one-of-a-kind. Our students learn about designing these types of residential spaces by working with a variety of layouts and products, said Beamish. "It's experiential learning at its best, and it's part of what makes our program at Virginia Tech so innovative."
After Beamish's presentation, students from the Department of Apparel, Housing, and Resource Management will lead tours of the university's Center for Real Life Kitchen Design in Wallace Hall. Light refreshments will be served. Seating is limited and registration is required before Sept. 28.
Beamish is nationally recognized for her expertise in the areas of housing and aging and universal design. She has conducted research funded by the Andrus Foundation, the Agricultural Experiment Station, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on assisted living facilities, ECHO housing, retirement housing, and acceptance of alternative housing among older adults. She has been involved in universal design education since the early 1990s and regularly teaches a class in universal design.
Beamish has written book chapters, refereed industry-related articles, and made numerous presentations to professional audiences on this topic. She received her Ph.D. from Virginia Tech, her master's degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and her bachelor's degree from East Carolina University.
Individuals with a disability who need assistance or accommodations, should contact University ADA Services at 540-231-4638.
As the commonwealth's most comprehensive university and its leading research institution, Virginia Tech has more than 13,000 full and part-time employees and is the largest employer in Montgomery County, Virginia. The Department of Human Resources is committed to supporting a high quality of work life for staff and faculty located at the main campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, as well as those at off-campus educational facilities in six regions, a study-abroad site in Switzerland, and a 1,700-acre agriculture research farm near the main campus.

San Diego woman helps create vast shark sanctuary with help from Hillary Clinton
Sanctuary at Cook Islands largest in the world
SAN DIEGO - A San Diego woman is celebrating a victory of global proportions after a drastic life change sent her in pursuit of her passion.
The waters of the Cook Islands in the South Pacific are home to more than 18 species of sharks. All but a few are endangered, but the danger of extinction may soon be swimming away, thanks to Jessica Cramp, who helped create the largest safe zone for sharks in the world.
"I have a real passion for marine science. I'm a diver and surfer," said Cramp.
Three years ago, Cramp left her job as a biologist for a pharmaceutical company in Sorrento Valley to dive after that passion.
A stint on a research vessel led her to the Cook Islands -- northeast of New Zealand -- where she joined a group promoting a sanctuary for sharks.
Worldwide, an estimated 70 million sharks are killed each year for their fins.
"For the last decade, sharks have been dramatically decreasing," said Cramp.
For two years, Cramp has been a woman on a tireless mission, educating locals in the Cook Islands and lobbying leaders to ban commercial fishing for sharks.
Last August, her campaign would get a boost from a chance encounter.
Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the Cook Islands for a conference, walked past Cramp's booth.
"I jumped out and said, 'Hillary, I'm American,' and she stopped in her tracks and turned and grabbed me," said Cramp.
Soon after, Clinton was expressing her support of shark conservation with a shark salute -- a hand placed of the forehand like a shark fin. It was a moment captured in a photo, and the picture was featured in media articles. The Cook Islands' prime minster also took notice.
On December 12, the country's parliament voted to create a sanctuary the size of Mexico around the border of the islands. Combined with other safe zones, it forms the largest contiguous sanctuary in the world.
"We'd love for that to spread to other nations. I feel proud to have fought for the sharks to help them thrive," said Cramp.
Cramp will head to San Diego in a few weeks to give some talks on her efforts. She hopes to live in San Diego part-time and become an ambassador for shark conservation.

Hi all! The nice people in the Name That Plant forum have identified the pretty vine that has popped up in my garden as Clematis terniflora. I want to train it to the fence where it is growing - it's making an attempt on its own, but most of the plant is drooping all over the ground, so I want to help it out. I have never trained a vine before. The fence posts/slats are very wide, so I can't just tie it up with twine. Any suggestions? Also any advice about the care and feeding of clematis would be appreciated, as I've never grown one before. thanks! |

That is a very vigorous type 3 clematis and at this time of year there is little you can do with training - the plant is at its peak of growth and will die back for the winter shortly. At the end of winter - around March - you should cut back the vine pretty hard, somewhere around 18" or to the third set of buds from the ground. From that point, training should be relatively easy! Growth can be fast - this gets to be a huge vine - so you need to keep on it. Stringing fishing line can help to give support but I've found the vine able to attach and drape itself over a fence or other structure quite easily without much assistance. In my area, the rapidly growing, large species clems like SAC need no particular fertilizing - they grow fine without it. Just provide water during very dry periods and cut back hard each March. And you should be aware that this clem is considered to be invasive in some parts of the country due to its ability to reseed freely. |
- Posted by kawillis85 none (My Page) on Sun, Oct 27, 13 at 16:34
Thanks, that's very helpful. I'm not surprised it's sometimes considered invasive, I somehow got this one "free" - certainly didn't plant it. At least it's pretty. :) |
- Posted by ians_gardener z5 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 28, 13 at 9:51
I have posted this pic of my Clematis terniflora in another thread, but thought you may want to see what an outstanding vine it is..... My vine is only 3 years old and covers my ugly chain link fence (about 15 feet).... |
I've seen folks fasten wire fencing of some kind to a fence to help clematis climb. Also, with regard to GG's comment about cutting it down, doing this annually will keep the blossoms from being only at the top of the plant, and it will grow to full height each year after the spring pruning. I don't know where you are, but if you are in an area where it's warm enough for the seeds to ripen, trimming most of the old blooms off the plant with something like hedge shears after the bloom is done will help keep it from seeding around any more. |
- Posted by kawillis85 none (My Page) on Wed, Oct 30, 13 at 11:59
Ah thanks, that's very useful, I was wondering how to promote flowering. Also good to know how to help control re-seed. I am virtually certain I've found the parent of my plant - a neighbor about 4 doors over has a beautiful one. I'm not complaining about my freebie, but something that spreads so readily does deserve close watching. ;) |
- Posted by kawillis85 none (My Page) on Wed, Oct 30, 13 at 12:03
Ian, that's a beautiful plant! Definitely improves the chain link. My fence is wide, wide, wooden slats, and the poor plant *is* having trouble climbing it. I'm very antsy to start getting it put in order ... I tacked it up in one place, but because I let it go so long on its own it's a bit of a sprawling mess. Bought some twine and will make another go this weekend; will take some more pictures as I would like more advice. I understand it's the wrong time to prune, but it is such a tangly mess ... |

text: Toshiba said it will no longer develop, make, or market HD DVD players and recorders. The move would make Blu-ray — backed by Sony Corp., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., which makes Panasonic brand products, and five major Hollywood movie studios — the winner in the battle over high-definition DVD formatting that began several years ago. The company said last month's decision by Warner Bros. Entertainment to release movie discs only in the Blu-ray format made the move inevitable. It added that the company had confidence in HD DVD as a technology and tried to assure the estimated 1 million people, including some 600,000 people in North America, who already bought HD DVD machines by promising that Toshiba will continue to provide product support for the technology. Both HD DVD and Blu-ray deliver crisp, clear high-definition pictures and sound, which are more detailed and vivid than existing video technology. They are incompatible with each other, and neither plays on older DVD players. But both formats play on high-definition TVs. HD DVD was touted as being cheaper because it was more similar to previous video technology, while Blu-ray boasted bigger recording capacity. (AP) |

The Light and How to Swing It: Retribution of patch 4.1 {WoW}
Mar 2nd 2011 5:19PM I wish Ret Paladins got more abilities like the ones we see NPCs use... Why couldn't we get a version of Eadric's Radiance or Hammer of the Righteous abilities?
Seems to me like maybe one of those could combo off Stuns or something. It would be useful against Undead and Demons (via Holy Wrath) and Hammer of Justice. Say... a Haunt-like ability which would heal for damage dealt if the target were stunned.
I dunno, just throwing an idea out there. Synergy between abilities always makes them more enjoyable and relevant to me.
Breakfast Topic: Where's the epic, part two {WoW}
Apr 30th 2010 9:13AM ^ This.
I've raided (casually, but raided nonetheless) since BC and I've gone to the vanilla raids with smaller groups, and I've never felt the encounters to be anything less than epic.
Open space and grandiose settings, no matter how empty of actual players, have always felt epic to me.
I do agree that some of the newer raid encounters are less epic, but for me, what truly makes them epic is the design of the encounter itself. A boss that just sits there until you attack, without saying nor doing anything except taking and dishing out damage, is not very epic.
Herald Volazj always struck me as unnerving and dangerous due to the whispers before and during the fight. Ingvar the Plunderer's fight, even, is pretty epic - he's talking to an agent of Arthas before the fight, and gets transformed mid-way through.
Scourgelord Tyrannus is my current favourite - I'm almost sorry to have to kill the guy. He's instantly present when you enter, and throughout the instance. Once you get to him, he feels like a true nemesis, since he's been dogging your steps up until the actual encounter.
From what other people have said, too, it seems to me that the most memorable encounters just aren't the ones where it's pull-pew-pew-loot. Interesting mechanics, lore material and challenge are what make the fight epic, not the number of people.
Kel'thuzad always felt incredibly epic to me due to the lead-up to the fight. Thinking that it's 10 people locked in his throne room, surrounded by scores of undead... that just felt claustrophobic and terrifying, which is perfect for that boss. And of course, having an animated pile of dragon bones as a guard dog was pretty awesome, too.

Cataclysm class skills previewed in Icecrown Citadel {WoW}
Apr 10th 2010 2:29AM Ugh, make that "were to receive Radiance Aura", and "a lesser effect normally".
It's too early to post coherently.
Cataclysm class skills previewed in Icecrown Citadel {WoW}
Apr 10th 2010 2:26AM If Pallies were to be receive Radiance Aura, the only reasonable way to make it work would be to have it produce a lesser effect normal, perhaps some very limited healing that might be so-so for a normal 5-man, but multiply it *significantly* when Aura Mastery is used.
That way, we get some cool skill synergy, the skill itself is not OP (not with that cooldown), and it also means you're making a potentially serious choice: do you spend Aura Mastery on serious mitigation for elemental damage, or to heal?
Two Pally healers working together to each use their cooldown differently would be so awesome...
The Daily Blues {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2010 5:34AM I think it's odd that people would *want* a Rogue to be able to stand up to a Ret Pally in a fair, no-Stealth fight.
I mean, what we're basically talking about is leather versus plate, smaller weapons versus big two-hander. Barring any actual misses (or dodges, parries, etc.), the Pally *should* be the clear winner in a straight-up fight.
The Rogue is meant to Stealth, subterfuge is a huge part of the class. I understand that an all-or-nothing philosophy for PvP may not be all that fun for the person on the receiving end, but it makes sense.
If the Pally wins in straight-up fight but loses when the Rogue gets the first shot in when Stealthed, that sounds pretty balanced to me. It's a very stark kind of balance, and maybe not ideal, but it *is* balanced.
It seems to me that stuns are at the heart of the matter, though. Maybe the real solution is dealing with those, instead. No one likes being completely deprived of control over their character, after all. Finding another way to make the fight one-sided under the right circumstances but not completely dominated by stuns could be one way to go, but it'd require a massive amount of work, of course.

I'd just like to point out that the female voice is *not* meant to be the voice of either knight - it's just narration. I know it's confusing, because at first I thought so too... it's a (very very) minor gripe with the storytelling, which is otherwise impeccable. Kudos to Melvenor.

The Royal Mint has revealed when the fifth coinage portrait of Her Majesty The Queen will be unveiled
0 reviews
No Longer Available
One of the best loved Bible translations, the King James Version was first published in 1611. Instrumental in making English a universal language, it celebrates its 400th anniversary this year and the Royal Mint has struck a splendid commemorative £2 coin.
The imaginative reverse design features the opening words of the Gospel according to John - In the beginning was the Word - rendered in the black letter typeface used in the first edition.
The piedfort coin has been struck on double-thickness blanks and is all the more desirable for that. Struck to glorious Proof quality and subject to stringent mintage limits, each coin is issued in a protective transparent capsule and housed in an attractive display case with a signed Certificate of Authenticity guaranteeing its provenance.
Its 400th anniversary is good reason to cherish and celebrate the King James Version and the Royal Mint is proud to strike this commemorative £2 coin. The special reverse design features the first words of the book of John, described by the designers as: 'typeset in a replica of the black letter typeface used in the first edition, the reversed, raised text of the printing block on the left and the recessed text of the printed word on the right, takes the form of the aptly chosen quote, 'In the beginning was the Word' (John 1:1).'
The obverse bears the Queen's portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS while the words: THE AUTHORISED VERSION provides a pleasing and appropriate edge inscription.
*Please note: this coin is subject to a Maximum Coin Mintage of 3,500

Feeling depressed and lonely, career-wise, design-wise? Do you feel constrained to produce dull, dreary designs? Do your pleas for excitement and emotional content fall on deaf ears? My prescription: 15 minute sessions reading Aarron Walter's book 'Designing for Emotion,' three times a day. Continue until the symptoms disappear. If the symptoms persist, do not despair: reread the book.
If a single, small book can shatter the notion that we're designing for page views not for people, this is that book.
Every now and then a book comes along that changes the way you think about the web. This is one of them. The web is made for humans, and 'Designing for Emotion' does a fantastic job explaining how to keep that in mind. Two swissmiss thumbs up!

I did google the internet to see if there was a standard code to washing machine hose lines prior to posting Before my new LG washer arrived , I attempted to make the installation easier so I moved furniture and removed the laundry door. I have a horizontal turn off switch for the washing machine water line. I had water spraying from the washing machine as I undid the feed lines. I turned off the main water in order to remove the old unit and install the new washing machine. The shut off valve is not a turn valve/angle stop but a switch that you slide..... a gate valve |
Follow-Up Postings:
If the valve is failing to stop all water flow, then yes call a plumber. Rubber hoses are OK, if you can easily monitor them to make sure they don't bulge/crack/dry out/spring a leak. Braided stainless steal hoses may offer more protection against bulges but are not fail proof. They should be inspected as well. It's good practice to turn off the water to the washer (and now dryers that use water to freshen up clothes) as to alleviate constant pressure on them. A great water valve to install is pictured. |
- Posted by chickadee4 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 15:39
I took a look at prices for the above valve . One vendor used catastrophic in the description. Presently there is constant pressure on these feed lines so the rubber can burst. Even though I have a drain , I am sure the drain will not remove the water fast enough and have damage to a wood floor that butts the laundry room tile. You are correct and I am being both silly and stupid. I was hoping not to have the plumber here again. The operative word is again. I do most of the home repairs but if it involves a torch I leave it for the professionals. I appreciate you postings. Where can I find the above valve? |
- Posted by chickadee4 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 16:18
I did not notice the brand stamp as Watts. I am good to go . Thank You |
I have that valve and I agree it's a good one. We always shut the valve when we leave the house for vacation, but not between washes. I don't see how closing the valve will relieve the pressure on the attached hoses. The pressure will simply be trapped between the valve and the washer unless the washer is turned on for a brief instant to let some water escape to relieve the pressure. |
^^ That's true, but leastwise a flood will be prevented if a hose does burst while the supply faucets are shut off. |
Never had a bad rubber hose. Some I have used nearly 20 years. Things arent so easy to say today though with so much coming from an unproven global market. |
Are there any good options for folks whose stacked FL machines are in a closet with no access to the back of the machines? They have been fine for 5 years but I still worry about a burst hose. It is a big project and at least a 2 person job to slide them out to inspect the hoses. Is there some kind of remote or electronic shut off that would work? I know it is not optimal to have my setup but it is what I have. No space to put the machines anywhere else but the garage and that would cost big bucks and make the car grumpy. |
There are thick heavy duty rubber and braided steal washer hoses but they still should be inspected periodically. There are also electronic units that can turn off the water automatically (check out IntilliFlow or Flood Stop or FloodSafe to name a few.) Look them up on Youtube. |
georgect - Thanks for the info. I have researched these options in the past. Intelliflow has one of the worst set of customer reviews I have ever seen for any product. It seems to be a badly designed piece of junk. The Floodsafe hoses may be a bit better but many users here have had trouble with them, and since I can't access them easily to fix them I sure don't want to try that. I guess I will continue to live dangerously. |
You haven't lived until you have had a washing machine supply hose burst while you are not at home. This happened to a neighbor of ours quite a number of years ago. It's shocking how fast that entire home filled up with water. I've seen the damage this can cause in person. After that incident with the neighbor I think everyone in the neighborhood bought new hoses immediately afterwards. It doesn't pay to gamble on something as cheap as a hose! |

Dealer Fraud: Window Etching Fee
According to statistics a vehicle is stolen in the United States every 23 seconds. If you believe departments and insurance companies, one of the most effective anti-theft devices is VIN etching. Car dealers use this information to convince their consumers to purchase window etching with their vehicle. This is when one of the common dealer scams, the VIN etching car scam occurs.
Usually car dealer offers car buyers to window etch the VIN number in the window of the car he/she wants to purchase. The dealership charges from $300 to $1000 for this service. However, you should know that the service is now worth it and the dealer simply makes a profit of a few hundred dollars. In fact, this car fraud is even ridiculous, as you can simply buy a window etching kit at any auto parts store for only $20.
Sometimes car dealers will add this to your car agreement as an option and you will never even notice what you are paying for if you are not careful enough.
The easiest and the best way to avoid this car dealer fraud is to simply refuse to buy it when the car dealer offers VIN etching.

The Worst Valentine's Day Gifts Ever
Valentine's Day is meant to bring people together. Couples get romantic, friends get nostalgic and almost everybody just feels the love. Of course, a perfect Valentine's Day can be quickly ruined by a second-rate gift. For example, my father (an educated man) bought my mother a scale one year. Yes, one of those things that tells you how much you weigh, isn't that romantic? Good one, Dad.
I'm taking it upon myself to stop that from happening by sharing these terrible gift ideas. But, in the event you want to break up with somebody and can't work up the nerve, these may come in handy. Gift at your own risk.

One of the good perks of living in another country is that you get to visit and explore some new places during your time off. Takua pa is about 50 kilometers from the Khao Sok Paradise Tree House Resort and I got the chance to visit this town with a few of my colleagues. We went there on a business trip but we decided to make a few stops around the village and engross ourselves into their rich culture. Its was really lucky my phone had still enough battery for us to take pictures along the way.
The name Takua Pa originated from "Takkola" as the city has been sufficient in spices specifically the cardamom plant, called by the Indians, Takkola. The locality still has an admirable reminder of its history as one of the most important tin mining areas in Thailand dating back a century.
At Takuapa Old Town "Talad Gao" you will find 200 year old houses. Both sides of the main street are imprinted with buildings in Chino-Portuguese architecture. They say it is best to be there early morning to wander around the quaint shops.
Sunday is a good day to visit when the main street is closed to traffic to become a local market and showcase for various goods .
Another very impressive sight are the old Camp Walls which a former governor had built to surround his residence in 1857 and contain no brick or stone being made from only sand and cement.
Takuapa Market and River Plaza are in the new town "Talad Yanyao" (near the bus station). It's a regular local market which sells fruits , vegetables, meat and seafood. The Plaza has some good shops and a few riverside restaurants.
This is also where the "little amazon" tours take place on the picturesque Yan Yao River. Basically the guide will take you thru untouched scenery of wildlife in the area.
(Picture of the Chinese temple in the Takuapa old town (Talad Gao), where the Chinese vegetarian festival is held by the local Chinese community every year)
We also stoped by and visited a Buddhist temple where they have statues of goddess Matsu of the sea
and protect fisherman's in the sea.
There were a plenty more interesting places to visit, but with not much time. Like the Tsunami Memorial Park, Bang Sak Beach and the ancient town of Baan Thung Tuek and all of them at a reasonable distance from the Khao Sok national park. Nevertheless, We had did have a great time exploring and discovering new things in the neighborhood and I'm sure the next time we are here, we will go see more of this great things to see here.

An Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All
- |
- 3:00 pm |

Getting the measles is no walk in the park, either — not for you or those who come near you. In 2005, a 17-year-old Indiana girl got infected on a trip to Bucharest, Romania. On the return flight home, she was congested, coughing, and feverish but had no rash. The next day, without realizing she was contagious, she went to a church gathering of 500 people. She was there just a few hours. Of the 500 people present, about 450 had either been vaccinated or had developed a natural immunity. Two people in that group had vaccination failure and got measles. Thirty-two people who had not been vaccinated and therefore had no resistance to measles also got sick. Did the girl encounter each of these people face-to-face in her brief visit to the picnic? No. All you have to do to get the measles is to inhabit the airspace of a contagious person within two hours of them being there.
The frightening implications of this kind of anecdote were illustrated by a 2002 study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases. Looking at 3,292 cases of measles in the Netherlands, the study found that the risk of contracting the disease was lower if you were completely unvaccinated and living in a highly vaccinated community than if you were completely vaccinated and living in a relatively unvaccinated community. Why? Because vaccines don't always take. What does that mean? You can't minimize your individual risk unless your herd, your friends and neighbors, also buy in.
Perceived risk — our changing relationship to it and our increasing intolerance of it — is at the crux of vaccine safety concerns, not to mention related fears of pesticides, genetically modified food, and cloning. Sharon Kaufman, a medical anthropologist at UC San Francisco, observes that our concept of risk has evolved from an external threat that's out of our control (think: statistical probability of a plane crash) to something that can be managed and controlled if we just make the right decisions (eat less fat and you'll live longer). Improved diagnostic tests, a change in consumer awareness, an aging society determined to stay youthful — all have contributed to the growing perception that risk (of death, illness, accident) is our responsibility to reduce or eliminate. In the old order, risk management was in the hands of your doctor — or God. Under the new dispensation, it's all up to you. What are the odds that your child will be autistic? It's your job to manage them, so get thee to the Internet, and fast.
The thimerosal debacle exacerbated this tendency, particularly when the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Public Health Service issued a poorly worded statement in 1999 that said "current levels of thimerosal will not hurt children, but reducing those levels will make safe vaccines even safer." In other words, there's no scientific evidence whatsoever, but you never know.
"When science came out and said, 'Uh-oh, there may be a risk,' the stage was already set," Kaufman says, noting that many parents felt it was irresponsible not to have doubts. "It was Pandora's box."
The result is that science must somehow prove a negative — that vaccines don't cause autism — which is not how science typically works. Edward Jenner invented vaccination in 1796 with his smallpox inoculation; it would be 100 years before science, such as it was, understood why the vaccine worked, and it would be even longer before the specific cause of smallpox could be singled out. Until the cause of autism is discovered, scientists can establish only that vaccines are safe — and that threshold has already been met.
The government is still considering funding more research trials to look for a connection between vaccines and autism. To Kaufman, there's some justification for this, given that it may be the only way to address everyone's doubts. But the thimerosal panic suggests that, if bungled, such trials could make a bad situation worse. To scientists like Offit, further studies are also a waste of precious scientific resources, not to mention taxpayers' money. They take funding away from more pressing matters, including the search for autism's real cause.
A while back, Offit was asked to help put together a reference text on vaccines. Specifically, his colleagues wanted him to write a chapter that assessed the capacity of the human immune system. It was a hypothetical exercise: What was the maximum number of vaccines that a person could handle? The point was to arm doctors with information that could reassure parents. Offit set out to determine two factors: how many B cells, which make antibodies, a person has in a milliliter of blood and how many different epitopes, the part of a bacterium or virus that is recognized by the immune system, there are in a vaccine. Then, he came up with a rough estimate: a person could handle 100,000 vaccines — or up to 10,000 vaccines at once. Currently the most vaccines children receive at any one time is five.
He also published his findings in Pediatrics. Soon, the number was attached to Offit like a scarlet letter. "The 100,000 number makes me sound like a madman. Because that's the image: 100,000 shots sticking out of you. It's an awful image," Offit says. "Many people — including people who are on my side — have criticized me for that. But I was naive. In that article, I was being asked the question and that is the answer to the question."
Still, he hasn't backed off. He feels that scientists have to work harder at winning over the public. "It's our responsibility to stand up for good science. Though it's not what we're trained to do," he says, admitting that his one regret about Autism's False Prophets is that it didn't hold scientists accountable for letting fear of criticism render them mute. "Get out there. There's no venue too small. As someone once said, it would be a very quiet forest indeed if the only birds that sang were those that sang best."
So Offit keeps singing. Isn't he afraid of those who wish him harm? "I'm not that brave," he says. "If I really thought my life was at risk or my children's lives were at risk, I wouldn't do it. Not for a second." Maybe, he acknowledges, he's in denial.
Later, I ask his wife the same question. When it comes to her husband's welfare, Bonnie Offit is fiercely protective. A pediatrician with a thriving group practice, she still makes time to monitor the blogosphere. (Her husband refuses to read the attacks.) She wants to believe that if you "keep your finger on the pulse," as she puts it, you can keep your loved ones safe.
Still, she worries. On the day I find myself sitting at her dining room table, every front page in the nation features an article about George Tiller, the abortion doctor gunned down at his church in Wichita, Kansas. When her husband leaves the room, Bonnie brings up the killing. "It upsets me," she says, looking away. "I didn't even tell him that. But it absolutely upsets me."
Her husband, meanwhile, still rises every morning at 4 am and heads to his small, tidy study in a spare bedroom. Every morning, he spends a couple of hours working on what will be his sixth book, a history of the anti-vaccine movement. Offit gets excited when he talks about it.
In 19th-century England, he explains, Jenner's smallpox vaccine was known to be effective. But despite the Compulsory Vaccination Act of 1853, many people still refused to take it, and thousands died unnecessarily. "That was the birth of the anti-vaccine movement," he says, adding that then — as now — those at the forefront "were great at mass marketing. It was a print-oriented society. They were great pamphleteers. And by the 1890s, they had driven immunization rates down to the 20 percent range."
Immediately, smallpox took off again in England and Wales, killing 1,455 in 1893. Ireland and Scotland, by contrast, "didn't have any anti-vaccine movement and had very high immunization rates and very little incidence of smallpox disease and death," he says, taking a breath. "You'd like to think we would learn."
Offit wants the book to be cinematic, visually riveting. He believes, fervently, that if he can hook people with a good, truthful story, maybe they will absorb his hopeful message: The human race has faced down this kind of doubt before.
His battle is, in at least one respect, probably a losing one. There will always be more illogic and confusion than science can fend off. Offit's idea is to inoculate people one by one, until the virus of fear, if not fully erased, at least recedes.

312 Australian Delegation, United Nations, to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram UN987 NEW YORK, 11 December 1946, 1.35 p.m.
Security 196.
(1) The Greek case [1] came before the Security Council yesterday when four hours were spent debating whether or not Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania should be invited to participate in discussion. Whereas all Members agreed that under Article 31 [2] Greece and Yugoslavia should be asked to participate several, principally Netherlands and Australia, pointed out that Article 32 provided that non-Members could only be invited to participate in discussions relating to disputes to which they were a party. If and when it was determined that they were parties to a dispute they could be invited to participate but for the time being should only be asked to make statements of fact at invitation of Council.
(2) Gromyko debated stubbornly in favour of their full participation in discussion from commencement but the Council finally decided that for the time being Albania and Bulgaria should only be asked to prepare statements.
(3) Australia took advantage of the above discussion to express the view that the. Council should not immediately allow debate between parties but concentrate on examination of facts in order to make the preliminary determination whether or not it was a case for investigation under Article 34, and if so, it should immediately commence such investigation. Preliminary discussion should concentrate on this point.
(4) As on all previous occasions, handling of this case will be complicated by fear that Russia may claim and exercise veto on any proposal for investigation, and will try to use the Council as a forum where Soviet satellites can make contentious statements. It is extremely difficult to stiffen other Members against these tactics but we will continue to press the Australian policy of investigation. [3]
