Rutas de turismo por la Axarquía
Virtual Visit
Sun and Wine
Sun and Wine Route
Near the coastal beauty of the beaches with their impressive cliffs and coves where the hillocks give way to vineyards, white farmhouses and work houses where sweet wine is produced, famous since the Roman empire.
This route combines the best of the coast and the interior, bringing together tourist excitement and rural peace. Its close proximity to the beach highlights the qualities of the Sun and Wine Route, forming a duality that is manifest in all of its cultural sources. Along the coast and up to the border of the province of Granada, in the most eastern part of Axarquía, you'll find the municipalities of Algarrobo, Sayalonga, Cómpeta, Canillas de Albaida, Torrox, Nerja and Frigiliana.
Despite the course of time and technological advances, the process of wine production is still a work of craftsmanship: after the grapes are dried in the sun in drying patches called "paseros", they are pressed and the unfermented grape juice is stored in large barrels. Wine production, although characteristic of all of Axarquía and especially of this route, is most famous in the town of Cómpeta. This village dedicates the famous "Wine Night" to these rich broths. Another star product along this route is the medlar; each year Sayalonga dedicates a festival to this precious product, which is served in various forms, as a liquor, jam and natural. Both festivals are categorized as being of National Tourist interest.
Torrox and Algarrobo offer both the interior and the coast, extensions of long, stretching beaches prepared and equipped for tourists. In Nerja, the famous "Paleolithic Cathedral" caves are worthy of mention, which offer a spectacle and a dream-like picturesque environment at the Maro Cliffs, a natural spot.
Ingenuity is evident in Frigiliana, where they produce sugar cane honey, unique cemeteries, restaurants and refreshment stands with skewers, traces of the Romans and hiking trails through important mountain ranges. This diverse route offers a wide representation of Axarquía for our comtemplation.

Any naturally occurring homogeneous solid that has a definite (but not fixed) chemical composition and a distinctive internal crystal structure. Minerals are usually formed by inorganic processes. Synthetic equivalents of various minerals, such as emeralds and diamonds, are manufactured for commercial purposes. Although most minerals are chemical compounds, a small number (e.g., sulfur, copper, gold) are elements. Minerals combine with each other to form rocks. For example, granite consists of the minerals feldspar, quartz, mica, and amphibole in varying amounts. Rocks are generally, therefore, an intergrowth of various minerals.

Love this. Makes my sparse but at the same time unruly brows go just right. The gel is a great idea and the blonde Colour is perfect (not to red) It's pricy but no complaints. Lasts a decent amount of time. Love the texture.
This is my go-to brow product. It's easy to use and the shade is best suited for medium brown colour hair through to dark brown. I prefer a natural look on my eyebrows and this Is perfect as it allows me to gently fill in any sparse areas and then I can go a little more heavy handed to make them darker for when I have dark eye make up etc. I would recommend for people who like a more natural look and it's long wearing too which is important
This is my go to brow fix! I use the darker shade, but I think it's all about how you apply it and use it. I get compliments on my eyebrows all the time. The colour is not too dark but just right for anyone with dark hair.
How I use it:
1) I align the width (wider part) of the wax stick to the length of the brow hair and make a long straight sweep along the bottom brow right to the arc of the brow
2) Without letting go, I would drag the thinner part out to extend the brow
3) Then go back with small flick to fill in
I adore this product. I have dark brown hair and use the taupe, so I feel like if your ethnic you'd use the darker one because its too dark for my olive skin. A little too much gel comes out and I have to get some off before applying but other that that I love it! I've tried other brow pencils, was using MAC for a while but this is really lovely. I had a MUA do my makeup for my wedding and she used the type you brush on, and this is the closest thing I could find to looking as perfect as they did that day!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This worked great while it lasted ... Glided on so easy and smooth ad looked so natural on my dark but sparsely placed brows. However I didn't even have it for ONE WEEK before the pencil got stuck inside the tube and wouldn't twist out in anymore. I had plenty of product left, but one day I was just doing my brows, then set down my pencil to do my hair, and then when I grabbed my pencil again to touch up my brows, the crayon just wouldn't swivel out. This product was like a miracle to me when I was first using it and looked so great, but words can't even express how disappointed I am that I have to go and buy another brow pencil when I probably have 25 dollars of product just wasted. I don't think I've ever felt more ripped off in my life.
The Taupe color is perfect for my blonde hair, and the triangulated chiseled tip makes it easy to draw a clean line. The waxy formula looks softer than a hard pencil. The other end has a bit of clear brow gel and a tiny brow brush to finish up neatly. Great for the suitcase or purse, easy to touch up. At $27 it's a bit pricey but you are getting a dual ended product. Tried this in the store many times before purchasing to test longevity, and it holds up well. Great job, Smashbox!
More reviews by SELENECERVANTES
Loved this for my brows ! Gave a very natural look to them with two easy steps . Very convenient product
More reviews by sabrinarose1990
I like the concept of this. It is very convenient being a brow pencil that you don't have to sharpen and which has eyebrow gel in a mascara like wand on the other end. However, I have purchased two and the same problem has occurred twice, where the pencil doesn't twist open at all no matter how many twists you do to get it out of the container. Its a good product when it works, but I had only used mine for a like three weeks when this happened on both occassions. So I will definately not repurchase as it was so expensive.
I love this brow pencil so much! I used both Shu Uemura's Hard Formula and Eyebrow Liner and well, they don't really stay put for long. It's like gone in a few hours. But the Smashbox's Brow Tech To-Go, they really last for the whole day! My friend recommended me this when I went shopping at Sephora, and honestly I'm not turning back! For the price of both Shu Uemura's eyebrow products, I'd choose this over them. Definitely repurchasing!

We're planning on doing a kitchen update in the near future. Since this is more of a sprucing up than a redo, we're doing all the planning ourselves (that is, there are no kitchen designers or general contractors involved). Because we have the luxury of a little time before we start, and because prior renovations have taught me to make EVERY decision as early in the process as possible, I'm trying to choose some components and then keep an eye out for sales and deals.
I'd like get a large single-bowl undermount sink and I have my eye on the 32-inch Krauss sink. Because our sink is in front of a window, we don't have full counter depth there (the windowsill takes up a couple of inches) so it's questionable whether the sink and faucet will fit. I've been able to find schematic drawings for the sink and the faucet, but what I don't know is how much counter you need to have in front of the sink and between the sink and faucet. I won't be saving myself any money if I buy a sink that ends up not fitting, so how do I know? |

- Posted by Melissa-Kitchen (My Page) on Mon, Nov 12, 12 at 15:59
Good question! I am researching sinks too so I looked online and found this: When a sink is undermounted beneath a granite counter, several measurements must be accounted for. The sink itself must be three inches in width smaller than the cabinet that is being installed, while the granite needs a minimum border of three inches of width around the entirety of the sink. More than 3-inches is fine, but less than this amount may stress the integrity of the stone, leading it to crack or break. Read more: How Much Granite Should Overhang on an Undermount Sink? : eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/way_6156860_much-should-overhang-undermount-sink_.html#ixzz2C2nrD0u8 Hope this helps! A warning that I have no experience installing sinks so maybe someone else will have a first hand answer. |

You might want to 'bump out' the sink. The linked thread(there are others) discusses this issue of a window in front of the sink. One of the posters(teresa518)commented that she can't reach the window but likes the bump out b/c she has room for the faucet. Also it might help to draw the sink/faucet specs on a piece of cardboard so you can visualize where all will be positioned. If I can't see a picture it doesn't exist for me LOL I don't have a window in front of the sink but I did buy a 30'W 19D undermount sink. I was really concerned about room for the faucet/soap/filter faucet, even though the plumbing supply store told me it would fit. You can rest assured that I would have been on the salesman's doorstep if it didn't(I found out during the purchase that we are neighbors-he lives 10 blocks from me). HTH |
Here is a link that might be useful: sink bump out
- Posted by wi-sailorgirl (My Page) on Mon, Nov 12, 12 at 17:42
Thank you both for the very helpful replies! A sink bump out is not in our plans as I don't want to replace the lower cabinets (just reface them). That's a good idea to do a mock up as well. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Mon, Nov 12, 12 at 17:49
If your cabinets are shallower depth than the standard 24" deep, then only a top mount sink will fit in them. And that sink will need at least a 36" wide sink base. |
- Posted by wi-sailorgirl (My Page) on Tue, Nov 13, 12 at 0:49
Thanks live wire, for weighing in. We spent some quality time with a tape measure tonight and it looks like that sink will fit. The cabinet is plenty wide and the cabinets are the standard 24 inches. Looks like we can have a minimum of 3 inches of counter in the front and there is 4.5 inches behind the sink for the faucet. Thanks for walking me through that everyone. |
- Posted by EATREALFOOD (My Page) on Tue, Nov 13, 12 at 5:35
wi-sailor: So many details, amazing the number of details that will keep you up at night. You can check that off your list now. :) |
word of warning..... we just installed a 30" Krauss - first off - it is like a bathtub! I love it - but it is huge! We, too, have a window behind - and bought a faucet, which I also love, which has a handle that only goes forward - not back at all - so no worries about hitting the backsplash (non-existant at present!) The word of warning is that the sink did NOT end up fitting under our cabinet and the granite guys had to rip the woodwork around the cabinet doors to get it in. |

Chronos Academy
1900 hours
Day One
Although the rotunda Shama was walking in appeared vast, she knew that Chronos Academy occupied only one quadrant of the Zone. The Zone, the secret glass city that housed Chronos, took up five full blocks in UpCity. A shield of meta material enclosed the whole Zone, but when not under security alert, its domed ceiling was open to the sky.
The Academy valued order so Shama was always surprised when she looked around and saw the classrooms tumbled about in a topsy turvy pattern, and the staircases, at various heights and of different lengths, heading off in all directions.
Above her, clouds blanketed the natural moon and its companion the A-moon, installed by advertisers, and she could only read: Future Within You. Probably an ad for an Instant Language chip.
She reached the glass stairs to the barracks and raced up. If she hurried, she'd get an hour or so with her friends before Lights Out.
The holoportraits of former Chronos operatives bulged out from the west wall. Shama noticed Dr. Hiriam Lassemer, inventor of the QuanTime, the machine that Bazel had used to send her to the past.
Shama didn't pay any attention to the rest of the solemn faces, because the east wall of the stairwell faced the Sim, and she had a view of a forest of Instant Trees, a green meadow and rambling stream. Through the glass, she noticed that the Zone weather operators had switched the simulated outdoor environment into the fall mode.
LowCity only had one season: summer. So Shama liked looking at the leaves on the Instant Trees which blazed bright red, orange and purple. All the brilliant colors tumbled together made Shama wish she could have been alive in the days when the earth had changing temperatures.
It wasn't a real fall though, because Shama spotted the cybratom CO2 packs on the naked branches of the Instant bushes. Without the cover of the Instant grass, the Sim's floor was plain cybratom dotted with yellow weeds and ten or so drainage dishes, evenly spaced throughout the grounds. Still, as Shama made her way to the barracks, her nose filled with the delicious smell of crushed leaves, cinnamon, and oranges.
She approached the third floor landing and saw schedules displayed on the glass wall directly in front of her. She found the First Year's and read: Physics of Time Travel, History of the Universe, Surveilling, Time Fitness. So many courses. Her classes' schedule took up one whole wall.
A group of kids stood around in front of the barracks, talking and laughing.
Colonel Hurley sat on a stool gazing out over the crowd of First Years.
Gleer Rodriquez and Liberty Quence spied her and broke into a cheer. "Shama's here!"
Even with a chip belly swelling over his pants, Colonel Hurley, whipped around, lightning-quick, to face her. "Welcome back, Cadet Katooee." His tan cap with two bright stars topped dark hair. His eyes, a strange mixture of sleepy alertness, were kind.
"Thank you," Shama said.
"Over here, Shama," Liberty called from a spot in the back near the wall. Her barrel chest which dwindled into narrow hips, skinny calves and tiny feet gave her a top-heavy look.
Shama grinned. If only Mycia and Jeep could see her now. She'd give anything if her LowCity friends, knew that she'd been accepted at a fancy Academy.
But as Shama threaded her way through the crowded space she wondered if her Flade Street friends would put up with the feeling she got sometimes inside the Academy of being hedged in and trapped. As she passed through the crowd with their clear skin, shiny hair, unbelievably straight teeth, and new uniforms, she was amazed once again by how similar these kids looked. Their clean-cut appearances made her miss Jeep and Mycia even more. Passing between two groups that she didn't recognize, she heard murmurs, "Who is that?" "I'd heard she had returned." "I really want to meet her."
A girl's voice asked, "Why?"
Shama spotted Deza Uber.
A head taller than Shama, Deza wore her black hair tied back in a tight pony tail. Her dark eyes bugged out above a hooked nose. She held a tablet in one hand.
"Hi, Deza," Shama said.
Returning her greeting, Deza's face flushed, and she looked back down at her tablet, every other line highlighted with bright yellow. Deza was the smartest girl in the class.
As Shama pushed past Deza to join Liberty and Gleer, someone else piped up, "Bazel picked the right person to experiment on, all right. Little Miss Nobody."
Shama glanced over Gleer's shoulder at Tres Mungo. She had small features, perfectly formed. She was pretty when she smiled. But right now, she was frowning.
"If she can Travel anyone can," Tres said to the group.
When Shama caught her eye, Tres didn't seem embarrassed. Shama felt more surprised than offended by Tres' comment. Three weeks ago, these cadets hadn't even known that the QuanTime machine could be used to Travel. Now it seemed that everyone knew.
Gleer hugged Shama. Gleer's skin, paler than most, looked like she would bruise easily. Her eyes, sunk in a high forehead, were the greenest that Shama had ever seen. "Glad you're back," she murmured.
Shama smiled. "Me, too." She was happy to see Gleer, although theirs was an unlikely friendship. If a contest were held, Gleer would win most obedient student at the school.
"Tell us," Liberty said, patting Shama's arm. "What did Travel feel like?"
Liberty was one of the few Academy students that Shama would call tough-looking. Her T-shirt, tight across her biceps, made her look strong. But her ear-to-ear grin made her look sweet, too.
Gleer leaned closer. "I want to hear this."
It hadn't been that long ago but already, Traveling seemed like a dream. Safe inside the Academy, surrounded by these kids, Shama had a hard time remembering the feeling. But the Chronos' term for being stretched, pulled, squashed, and exploded, all at the same time, seemed to fit. "Whipfrayed is a good description."
Oozing concern, Gleer inched closer. "You never thought you were going to die or anything, did you?"
That final, cold feeling. The feeling that she might travel forever and never come back. The feeling that she had no future, no past. Shama had felt as if she were lost in an endless black tunnel. "Toward the end…"
"And the Twin Towers?" Liberty asked softly.
Shama shook her head. "I can't remember. All I know is that I lost Deenay there."
Gleer's eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry."
Liberty nodded. "She was quite a bird."
"Yeah." Shama paused. She was about to complain to her friends about Perbile when Gleer said, "Aww. That's beautiful." She pointed at the Sim.
Shama turned to see an explosion of color.
The Sim's programmer must have pushed fast-forward, because the trees released batches of leaves. The gusting wind caught the leaves and spun them as if they were ingredients in a gigantic mixing bowl. Some slipped and fell onto the ground. Most of the branches were stripped nearly bare
"Gleer." Liberty laughed. "You think everything's beeeuuuutiful. "
"Those leaves are beautiful, Liberty," Gleer protested.
"I like them, too," Shama said. When she felt a hand touch her shoulder, she turned and found herself gazing up into Kardo Felix's beautiful gray eyes. Otherwise, Kardo wasn't that attractive. His ears were large and his forehead too high. His face reminded Shama of a high-ceilinged room with outsized furniture.
"I hadn't gotten to say hello yet," Kardo said. "I heard you got a concussion." He pointed at Shama's head. "Are you O.K.?"
Shama nodded. "Yeah."
Kardo grinned. "You proved Bazel's theories," he said. "You proved Time Change. Now, Bazel's the top op at Chronos, in charge of the TimeProbe."
Tres joined Kardo. "She didn't prove anything."
"Hello, Tres," Shama said.
Tres' mouth tightened into an expression meant to pass as a smile.
Kardo blushed and said, "You know what I mean." He glanced at Tres, then back at Shama. "General Mungo is going to be the first official Traveler."
Shama started. "Why would he do that? He's Commanding General."
"My father doesn't trust anyone else with Time," Tres said.
Kardo leaned in closer. "What happened to your eyes?"
"Yeah," Liberty said. "They're lighter."
"Golden," Gleer piped up.
Shama felt herself blushing. "Nothing."
Tres pointed through the glass wall at the weeds dotting the Sim's grounds. "The exact color of those."
Shama looked down. Her eyes were. The exact color of those ugly weeds.
"Shama, I heard the Dean kept you in his office for hours," Liberty said. "Are you in trouble?"
Shama shook her head. "Ah. No. Something about my records."
"Your records?" Gleer asked.
"Questions about my mother," Shama said.
"So, it's true," Tres said. "Your parents are off-grid."
Gleer and Liberty exchanged glances.
Shama wanted to reach out, to wipe the smirk off Tres' face, but the tingling feeling returned, and she hesitated. Tres' eyes were blue buttons, and her nose was tiny. Her lips were pale pink, the color of strawberry chips.
You don't belong here. Or anywhere.
Shama recognized the scornful voice inside her head. It was Tres'.
By the time she had recovered from the surprise, Tres had grabbed Kardo's hand and was leading him away.
"Ignore Tres," Liberty whispered. "I don't know what's wrong with her."
Shama shook her head, but the sad tingly feeling remained. Her concussion must have messed her up more than she realized.
"We're so glad you're back. We've been missing you," Gleer said.
"Will Shama Katooee, please come to the medtech's office immediately," a voice over the Earbone sound system announced. "Shama Katooee."
Shama groaned.
"We tried to visit you there. They wouldn't let us," Liberty said.
"I hope," Gleer joked, "Meez isn't going to lock you up again."

Top Critic Reviews
Rotten: blatantly obvious that the script has nothing to do with the actual Urban Legend series
- Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com, Saturday, June 2, 2007
Rotten: Though it's purportedly the third installment of the ongoing Urban Legends series, Bloody Mary feels more like a half-baked Ring ripoff than anything else.
- David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews, Tuesday, August 9, 2005
Fresh: Just a good enough horror film in spite of all of its flaws, saved by the strong performances of Tina Lifford and cutie patootie Kate Mara...
- Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed, Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Audience Reviews
This was a striaght to DVD release, a surprise considering how popular the first two were. A simple story with at times low budget effects but still enjoyable. It does go towards a more supernatural path from the first two. If you like the first two give this a whirl.

I live in San Diego,ca. I have a spot where I would like to put some sort of fruit tree. The problem is the spot is close to a fence. The fence in at the south of the property. During winter months the fence will block most direct sunlight from reaching a small tree. The situation will be better during the summer months. What type of fruit trees would work in this situation? I have thought about going with a more mature tree but I would prefer to start small. |
Follow-Up Postings:
What's the Spring and Fall situation look like?How about some kind of stone fruit,like Plum or Nectarine? |

I've only been in the house since November so I can't tell you too much. I think it will get good sun in the summer and it will get good sun when it grows taller. I am just trying to get an overall plan for the yard. Ill start researching those fruits you mentioned. |

Try this to track the sun. http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/ |

I prefer suncalc.net for checking path of sun. You should post this in the fruit/orchards forum, you'll get more response.... When a tree is dormant it doesn't need ANY sun. So winter sun isn't an issue, however it will need sun when it leafs out... |

When Babies Attack, Only Garbage Men Are Unafraid
I like a good prank, especially when its played on unsuspecting people on the streets. something about strangers getting the crap scared out of them in public makes me smile. A new movie is coming out soon called Devil's Due, and to promote the film Thinkmodo created a horrific baby to prank passersby.
The creepy animatronic baby was put inside a stroller. Both stroller and baby are remote controlled and the little devil can pop up and shoot milk out of its mouth Linda Blair style. You have to watch the video yourself, so I won't give any more away:
Needless to say, people scare easily. That is until the devil baby rolls up on the trash man, he doesn't even blink. Clearly, he is someone that has seen it all.

I am interested in buying a ceramic hair straightener that also curls hair. I have seen the ceramic combo curling iron/straighteners in stores and online, but I am lost as to which one is the best product for the price.
I prefer ceramic because I hear that it is better for the hair. Would I be better off to buy separate units, or are any of the combo units worth it? Which unit/ units do you all recommend? Thank you all,
Follow-Up Postings:
I've not see the combo ; as for straighteners, I bought a good one at the salon, but I have to be careful of the setting, it heats up really high . |
I think seperate units are the way to go IMO. I have yet to find one that does a great job both ways. For a flat iron GHD is hands down the best one out there. Curling irons I don't use often enough to give an opinion. Enzo makes a nice one. Both of these are investments though that will last you years. I bought both of mine off folica online. Be sure you get coupon codes though. My hair is naturally curly and pretty difficult to straighten and the GHD makes it pin straight all day. I cannot say enough good things about it. I ad a CHI and a Solaria before it, both lasted less than a year. I am on 3 years with this bad boy and it is still ticking. |

3. Tate Farms Burger: Boulevardier
What is it with the French-inspired restaurants and their great burgers? Tates Farms beef is seared to perfection, but it's the pain au lait bun that really seals the deal. Oh, and the house-cured bacon. And the melty, gooey gruyère. Okay, and also the caramelized onions and house-made pickles. Sorry, sometimes we get burger coma and the commas pay the price.

Atlantic County freeholders approve $194M budget with 3 cent tax hike
Written by Charles Pritchard Thursday, March 14, 2013 02:40 pm
< Prev | Next > |
NORTHFIELD ŌĆō The Atlantic County Board of Chosen Freeholders unanimously approved the 2013 budget at a meeting Tuesday, March 12. Despite the presence of a standing-room only turnout at the Stillwater Building, there was no public comment.
The total budgeted amount is $193,837,030 ŌĆō a decrease of .13 percent from 2012. The amount to be raised by taxation is $155,598,082, which is $3,733,112 less than permissible by the state budget cap.
The budget raises the county equalized tax rate by about 3 cents to .3438 per $100 of assessed property.
Freeholder Chairman Frank Formica said he was pleased that the county was able to maintain the services it provided last year.
ŌĆ£I am especially pleased to keep funding the same for intergenerational services, as many of our seniors benefit so much from these programs,ŌĆØ he said.
Freeholder John Risley cited the 13 consecutive perfect audits the county has received as an indication of the countyŌĆÖs strong financial condition.
ŌĆ£We are maintaining an even level of service even as ratables have dropped,ŌĆØ he said.
ŌĆ£This is a budget to be proud of,ŌĆØ added Democrat Charles Garrett as he joined the seven Republican freeholders in support of the budget. Fellow Democrat Colin Bell arrived after the vote had been taken.
County Treasurer and CFO Bonnie Lindaw reported that the county received a AA bond rating from Standard and PoorŌĆÖs and an Aa2 rating from MoodyŌĆÖs Investor Services.
While Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson did not speak at the meeting, he stated in his budget message that operational costs have been kept to a minimum over the years.
He noted that since 2008 the countyŌĆÖs equalized valuation has declined by nearly $13 billion, which has now resulted in a tax increase.
ŌĆ£Unfortunately this significant loss requires us to raise the tax rate by $30 more per $100,000 of assessed value,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£We are well aware of the number of individuals and families who are struggling to make ends meet and we have made every effort to minimize this impact. The freeholders had several weeks to review and they concur that this budget is an economically viable plan that upholds our conservative policies and practices,ŌĆØ Levinson said, praising the bipartisan cooperation of the board.
Also at the meeting, the freeholders voted to renew a professional services contract for up to $107,500 with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Dental School to provide dental services to clients at the Cronin Dental Clinic and Galloway Township Dental Center.
The board also announced that the meeting scheduled for March 19 has been canceled.

Debt-Free U by Zac Bissonnette – The subtitle to Zac's book is "How I Paid for an Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, or Mooching off My Parents" and he doesn't disappoint. Before reading this book I thought that the only way to a debt-free education — assuming you didn't already have a ton saved — was applying for multiple scholarships. Zac has other ideas. (You can read my interview with Zac here.)
How to Go to College Almost for Free by Ben Kaplan. Scholarships are a valuable tool when paying for college and Ben has the scholarship thing figured out. He won more than 20 merit-based scholarships worth a total of $90,000 that helped pay his way through Harvard. This book explains how.

Blind Roper With Diabetes is Back in the Saddle
Jerry Long was 8 years old when he first went to the rodeo in his hometown, Roswell, New Mexico. Almost 50 years later, he's still at it, having won 18 titles, a couple saddles and more belt buckles than anyone could ever use.
Jerry Long is also blind.
Long is the "heeler" in team roping. This is the person who snags the steer's feet after the "header" has roped the head. His only guide is a bell tied to the steer's tail.
Long was diagnosed with diabetes when he was a 23-year-old college student. The diagnosis didn't surprise him because Long's father had died of diabetes-related complications three years earlier.
"It wasn't until my father had died that I realized he had diabetes," says Long. "We were very close, but he hid the fact [that he had diabetes] from me his entire life. He was a strong man, a rancher, and I guess he felt that if people knew he had diabetes they would think he was weak."
After being diagnosed with diabetes, Long had to adjust to his new routine.
"I already knew how to give shots to livestock, so that wasn't too difficult. The hardest adjustment was learning how to pinch up the skin and give myself a shot in just about any place I could reach. In those days, the needles were about as big as pencils."
Complications Set In
For the next 20 years, Long suffered no complications from diabetes. His only hospitalizations were for broken bones. When he was in his late 30s, however, he experienced problems with his vision and wore glasses for the first time in his life. Surgeries to repair detached retinas (six in the left eye and three in the right) only helped temporarily.
Long then developed kidney problems. He began hemodialysis and later switched to peritoneal dialysis, a do-it-yourself treatment that worked well with his schedule as a high school principal in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Recurring kidney infections, however, forced him back to hemodialysis at a treatment center 80 miles from home.
"I had treatments three times a week for almost three years," says Long. "I was still working Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and was going for my treatments on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday."
Eventually, Long went blind.
"I'm totally blind in one eye, and can just distinguish between light and dark with the other," says Long.
Long eventually received a kidney transplant, and his life slowly returned to normal, but he figured that his riding and roping days were over.
A "Fat, Bald-Headed, Blind Guy"
It was a joke and a challenge, however, that got Long back in the saddle, when he attended a rodeo one day, where he witnessed a roping friend miss a steer.
"My friend came back making all kinds of excuses," says Long. "We're always teasing and harassing each other, and I told him that a fat, old, bald-headed blind guy like me could have roped that steer if it had a bell on its tail."
That started his friend thinking.
"A few days later, he invited my wife and me over, and after dinner they saddled up some horses to do some roping. He came up to me, handed me some bells and said 'There's the horse, and there's the cattle and here are your bells.' It was still a joke, but I knew I was either going to have to listen to him harass me about this forever, or I was going to have to mount up."
Long then got on the horse.
"It had been at least 15 years since I had been on a horse," Long recalled. "My heart was pounding and I was scared to death. I couldn't see the horse and I couldn't see the ground. I was hanging on to the saddle horn, and my friend sent the steers out while I listened for the bells. That day, I managed to rope two out of the seven. After that, I was just hooked."
Long didn't even own a horse or saddle, and competing was the furthest thing from his mind. In June 1993, however, he entered a Texas Senior Pro Rodeo Association event, and by October, he had qualified for the finals.
Long now owns nine horses and a herd of 15 practice steers. He plans to retire in a few years from his position as transition coordinator at the Texas School for the Visually Impaired, and then he'll have more time for roping.
"I'm going to enjoy it as long as I can," say Long. "I'm having fun doing something I love, something that I thought I'd lost forever."
Long gives motivational talks to many diabetes support groups, and many newly diagnosed individuals with diabetes seek him out at rodeos.

Windows and Doors
Protection of window and door openings is one of the important and affordable defenses against hurricanes. Not only does this protect the interior against wind and rain, window/door protection may make the critical difference between keeping or losing your roof from upload pressures.
There are two primary methods of protection; impact windows/doors or hurricane shutters. This decision is made more difficult due to the wide variety of window, door and shutter options. Hurricane Proof provides a complete range of all alternatives.
Impact windows/doors offer the advantage of full time hurricane protection (no deployment or storage is required), increased security protection, superior insulation quality (for both energy & sound) and enhanced appearance. This contributes to higher property value.
If a door is broken open by wind, unless shuttered with a non-porous system, it will almost always result in pressurization of the interior of the home. Impact resistant doors from Hurricane Proof are offered in numerous types, styles and finishes from top manufacturers:
Fiberglass doors:
Metal doors:
Patio doors:
Impact-resistant glass provides protection against penetration by windborne debris. It consists of two panes of glass laminated together with a polymer interlayer, which continues to protect the opening even if the glass is broken. Impact windows are typically 2 times more expensive than standard windows and are expensive to repair should the glass break. However, there are several advantages of impact windows:
- permanent hurricane protection (no deployment required)
- increased security (enhanced protection against break-ins)
- insulation (superior temperature and sound insulation versus standard windows)
- convenience (no storage requirements)
- appearance and value (does not detract from the building's appearance and increases the value of the property)
Hurricane Proof offers several impact glass options including a range of glass thicknesses, various tint colors, and energy saving LoE choices. We also provide all types of frame options, though aluminum and vinyl are most popular. Aluminum frames have long provided the benefits of strength and low maintenance. Vinyl windows have higher insulating properties and are therefore better suited for obtaining low energy ratings and associated tax credits. There are now more energy-efficient aluminum frames with thermal breaks that prevent the transfer of temperature through the frame. Both vinyl and aluminum windows come in a variety of colors and finishes including simulated woodgrain. Below are some of our window styles:
Single hung windows: |
Double hung windows: |
Horizontal roller windows: |
Casement windows: |
Awning windows: |

PDP came about in fall 2011, due to the dance program being cut at Kutztown University. The group, Performing Dance Portmanteau, was a revival of another group that was called PDP. The founders of PDP now, Liz M., Felicia N., Christina B., Stacey H., and Dianna K., restarted the group and edited the constitution, adding a public relations position for the e-board.
The founders wanted a group that would be able to perform in ways different from other dance groups on campus at KU, while not limiting themselves to only one style of dance. They started out wanting the group to be something that worked with kids at schools in the area, teaching them dance, though it never got that far, so the group stayed on campus at Kutztown University and has been going strong ever since.
We offer one hour classes in Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Modern, and Irish. You can sign up for as many as you would like to take! We have an informational meeting in the beginning of the fall and spring semesters, giving details about the group. We then hold auditions for each dance style. The auditions are only to put new members into either A or B groups which are later used for when choreography for our annual showcase begins. We have practice every tuesday, thursday, and sunday in the rec center, unless otherwise stated. You do NOT need any prior dance experience to join the group. All you need is a love for dance and the willingness to learn and try new things. We do require certain attire to be worn at practices, which are black dancers shorts, tan tights, leotard, and the shoes for whichever style(s) of dance you are signed up for.

Enough said, right? Sex Grease - Come on, dude. Subtlety. It�s an art.

Margaret Degidio 'Digit' Murphy is well-known as a pioneer and trailblazer in women's hockey. In addition to her tireless passion and enthusiasm, she's never been afraid to rattle a few cages if it will advance the cause.
But Murphy, who won over 300 games in 22 seasons at Brown University, believes it's time to update her job title.
"My title now is change agent and women's advocate. How about that?" she said with a laugh on the phone the other day.
"I like to change things. I like to question. I like to say 'Why not?' on behalf of women and women's advocacy."
That's just what she's been doing for over two decades now, thankfully. And women's hockey is better for it.
Murphy, who stepped down at Brown in 2011, is now coaching the Boston Blades, defending champions of the five-team Canadian Women's Hockey League. She will be behind the bench at Providence College's Schneider Arena when the Blades play the Toronto Furies on Saturday at 12:40 p.m.
With women's pro hockey in its infancy, Murphy is uniquely qualified to nurture it as it grows. "It's legit and it's fun. It will only be a matter of time before it takes off," she said.
The Blades practice twice a week and play games on the weekends. Many of the players hold full-time jobs. While the league is still a few years away from paying players, Murphy says, at least players no longer have to pay to play.
"We figured it out to be essentially an $8,000 or $9,000 benefit when you put together all the trips, ice and equipment, coaching — it's not like I'm raking it in. We've done little things, like if you're the player of the game, you get some kind of gift card, but nothing really to speak of as far as compensation. Not yet. We're working on it," she said.
Being a pioneer in the pro game is no different than it was in college hockey, Murphy says.
"That's the funny thing. It's the same but you've got a different Digit Murphy, with 20-25 years of experience. I'm just as angry and frustrated, but I'm older, so I've mellowed. I can combine age, wisdom and experience. When I was younger, there was a lot of — it wasn't anger — it was raw passion. Now it's experienced passion."
Women's hockey never gets more attention than during the Olympics, and seven women who played for Murphy's Blades last season — six Americans and one Canadian, ex-PC star Genevieve Lacasse — will skate in Sochi, Russia.
The success of the gold medal-winning American team in 1998 in Nagano, Japan, gave women's hockey a huge lift. Murphy believes that the same thing could happen this time around.
"Hopefully this Olympics does for the women's pro game now what it did for college in 1998," she said.
"You have more and more young girls playing since '98. I think it's become a cooler sport to play. We still struggle to get our numbers up because of the rink situation. You really can't have as many people as you want playing if there's only a certain number of ice times allotted," she said.
"I go up in Canada and you see just as many little girls walking out of the rink as boys with their hockey bags. You go to rinks like PC and Brown, you're seeing maybe 20 percent. There's only so much ice to go around."
While the women's game is improving all the time, Murphy misses players such as former Brown great Tara Mounsey, a mainstay on defense for the 1998 gold medal and the 2002 silver medal U.S. teams.
"We really don't have the Tara Mounseys anymore — those real phenoms. Maybe that's just because the talent's better. Those women really had to practice with boys growing up. They were gritty. They were so visceral — they were animals. They just were cut from a different cloth. But overall the talent level and the skill is getting better and better," she said.
The international women's game has been under fire in some quarters because the rest of the world is so far behind the United States and Canada. Murphy dismisses that criticism.
"You need to give it more time. We're always very quick to judge women's sports — that it sucks or this or that. Men's hockey has been around for over 100 years. They've gotten all the resources, quite frankly, up until the 2000s. We're a very young sport," said Murphy, who will receive the American Hockey Coaches' Association's Founders Award in May.
"If the European countries had similar resources to what the U.S. and Canada have in hockey, like the men do, you'd see a way different amount of women playing. There's also social norms … in other countries where women don't play hockey because it's not ladylike. They're behind in Europe."
But, thanks to people like Murphy, opportunities for girls and women are growing in the U.S. "It's happening, just not as fast as Digit Murphy wants it to," she says.

Make an Aria
27 Hydref 2014
,What is an aria? That was the question posed by Music Theatre Wales Director, Michael McCarthy to kick-off this very exciting collaborative project. The Make an Aria scheme is a partnership between Music Theatre Wales (MTW) and the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (RWCMD) giving young composers an opportunity to have-a-go at opera. This time, they are using St Fagans Castle and the Museum's collections as their inspiration. A group of composers from RWCMD teamed with creative writers will 'make an aria' from scratch.
So where do you start? A speed-dating session was a good way to establish the best creative match for composer and writer. When everyone was paired-up, curator Elen Phillips gave an introduction to the material for the arias – the story of St Fagans Castle during the Great War.
The Windsor-Clive family of St Fagans Castle were at the centre of events during these turbulent years; Lord Windsor as chairman of the Welsh Army Corps and Lady Windsor as President of the Red Cross Society in Glamorgan. Grief-stricken by the loss of their youngest son, Archer, who was killed in action, they opened the Castle grounds to set-up a hospital run by volunteer nurses or VADs.
The stories were brought alive by looking at objects from the Museum's collections; a nurses' uniform from the hospital, a delicate necklace made by one of the wounded soldiers and a field-communion set used on the battlefield. At this point we were joined by members of the Armed Forces community, the 203 Welsh Field Hospital Medics who gave us a completely new take on some of these objects and stories. It just proves that working collaboratively can bring some unexpected and rewarding results. We will continue to work with the Armed Forces in co-curating some of the exhibits in the new galleries at St Fagans but that's another blog for another day.
We then led the composers and writers on a tour of the Castle and grounds; the old site of the WW1 hospital, the Italian garden where the soldiers recuperated and the greenhouses where the land girls may have worked. Any of these locations could be the setting to perform the arias in the summer of 2015. I think that everyone left with their heads bubbling with ideas. All we can do now is wait.

More I Spy Competition Winners
14 Hydref 2014
We were joined this Saturday by two more of our I Spy…Nature drawing competition winners and their families. The winners were shown around the mollusc (shell), marine invertebrate and vertebrate collections as part of their special behind the scenes tour by museum curators Katie Mortimer-Jones and Jennifer Gallichan. The visitors were able to select draws from the mollusc collections to look in and saw a Giant Clam and a cone shell known as Glory of the Seas (Conus gloriamaris), a once sort after shell found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, to name but a few. Next onto the fluid store, where we keep our fluid preserved specimens such as marine bristleworms, starfish, crabs, lobsters and fish specimens. Lastly the tour finished up in the Vertebrate store where we keep some of the Museum's taxidermy and skeleton specimens. After the tour, the winners were given their prizes of natural history goodies from the Museum Shop.

Ffermdy Hendre'r Ywydd Uchaf
Mae Elan yn gwirfoddoli gyda fforwm ieuenctid Sain Ffagan. Yn ddiweddar, treuliodd Elen amser gydag ein Uned Adeiladau Hanesyddol ac mae wedi ysgrifennu am ei phrofiad isod;
Arddangosiadau Tîm Adeiladau Hanesyddol
Fel rhan o'r arddangosiadau Tîm Adeiladau Hanesyddol yn Sain Ffagan, es i i Hendre'r Ywydd Uchag i weld saer coed wrth ei waith. Pan gyrhaeddais roedd yn brysur yn gweithio ar ffrâm ddrws ar gyfer y Pentref Oes Haearn newydd gyda phren a oedd o'r safle ac wedi cael ei dorri y bore hwnnw. Roedd rhaid i'r gwaith gael ei wneud gyda llaw heb unrhyw gymorth oddi wrth beiriannau. Roedd e'n fwy na hapus i siarad â ni ynglŷn â'i waith ac i ateb ein cwestiynau. Soniodd ynglŷn â'i hanes proffesiynol, ei fod wedi gwneud NVQ mewn gwaith saer hanesyddol a'i fod newydd orffen ei brentisiaeth ar ôl gweithio yn yr amgueddfa am bum mlynedd. Roedd ei edmygedd tuag at wybodaeth y crefftwyr mwy profiadol yn glir ac roedd yn ymwybodol fod y wybodaeth hon yn dod o brofiad ac nid ar sail cymwysterau.
Esboniodd wedyn sut daethant â'r adeiladau i'r amgueddfa gan ddisgrifio'r cynnyrch terfynol fel 'flatpack buildings' wrth iddynt rifo'r holl friciau o amgylch ochrau'r adeilad cyn ei dynnu i lawr a'i ailadeiladu. Defnyddiodd Dŷ Hwlffordd a Gorsaf Drenau Raglan fel esiamplau. Roedd pwysigrwydd cadwraeth yn y broses hon yn eglur wrth iddo sôn mai dim ond tynnu'r hyn sydd angen ei dynnu ffwrdd roedd rhaid gwneud wrth atgyweirio adeiladau.

I Spy...Nature Competition Winners
12 Medi 2014
,We ran an 'I Spy…Nature' drawing competition across the summer to celebrate our natural sciences pop-up museum and launch of a new exhibition at National Museum Cardiff. Our young visitors used some of the specimens from the museum collections as inspiration for their drawings. We had some fantastic entries and it was extremely difficult to choose the best nine drawings. However, after much deliberation we have chosen first, second and third places in 3 age categories (under 6, 6-9 and 10-13). The winners will be receiving natural history goodies from the museum shop. Many thanks to everyone who took part, we have really enjoyed seeing all of your wonderful drawings.

The Florida Bar
Grievance Committees
Sixteenth Circuit Grievance Committee "A"
Grievance committees are made up of volunteer members, at least one-third of whom are not lawyers. Each of Florida's 20 judicial circuits has at least one such committee. The grievance committee reviews complaints with much the same purpose as a grand jury. That is, the committee decides, after a case is submitted to them by bar counsel, whether there is probable cause to believe a lawyer violated the professional conduct rules imposed by the Supreme Court of Florida and whether discipline against the lawyer appears to be warranted.

Topic Review (Newest First) |
yomondo |
Someone in my group last year was pulling a trailer. It's possible, but you would want some type of offroad hitch that allows for lots of flexing and tilting. If the trailer is heavy, it would also help to have brakes on the trailer because at one point there's a steep drop-off into a wash, and the trailer could end up pushing you down the hill. I've gone in November and in April. November was pretty cold at night and very windy, plus the days were shorter. I like spring time. The days are longer, the nights are very comfortable, the flowers are blooming, and the scenery has more green (as opposed to brown in November). |
gimp5561 |
thanks for the info,book is on its way so 5 days would give me plenty of time to look around does anyone know if i can pull a trailer in the park ?? in the east you cannot have a trailer on some nat. park trails i have worked for 22 year as a jeep tech in a dealership so yes i have all the extra parts. any time of the year better ?? |
yomondo |
I highly recommend reading this book before going for the first time. Mojave Road Guide Use the book to plan your trip and your stops. Carry it with you on the trail as a reference. I like to do the trail in 3 days, stop at many of the sites, relax and enjoy the scenery and the 2 nights of camping. It's about 140 miles, depending on where exactly you start and end, and what side trips you take. Add about another 10 miles to go from gas station to gas station. Gas/food is available along the way if you're willing to take a bit of a side trip to get it, but I prefer instead to bring an extra 5 gallons of gasoline and more than enough food/water for the entire trip. I would recommend not going alone. The trail is easy, any stock Jeep can do it, but you'll be deep in the middle of nowhere, and breakdowns can happen anytime. The last two times I did this trail, someone had battery problems. I've heard of others overheating along the way. In addition to the stuff you listed, bring extra fluids for the Jeep (coolant, engine oil, etc.) and extra gasoline. If you have an extra battery, bring that too. Catholes are no longer allowed in the Mojave National Preserve, so portable toilets and wag bags are required. And if you happen to have a group of more than 6 vehicles or 14 people, you'll need to get a special use permit. |
goin camping |
1, Your jeep is way more than you'll need for the trail. It's a dirt road. 2, Most take three days which gives you plenty of time to see the sights. 3, Most go from the Colorado river to where it ends at the 15 north of Barstow. 4, great book which someone else I'm sure has the title too. Can't find my copy. Tells you everything. 5, You can do it solo but a partner is always better in the desert. Kinda like scuba diving. 6, If memory serves it's about 130 miles with fuel at both ends. 7, If you want to eat or drink while on the trail. Bring it with you. |
gimp5561 |
mojave trail road info lookin for any info on the mojave trail outside barstow CA area how long will it take too do the trail ?? how long is it ?? be ok to do solo ?? anywhere to buy fuel close ?? where to buy food ?? have a 2005 rubicon unlimited with 2.5 lift 32 in tires an a 8000 lb winch an all the normal stuff jack,sparetire,tow rope,extra parts, what more do i need if anything ?? |

Gear Review
By far my fav. watch
I absolutely love this watch, and get comments on it almost every time I wear it.
It isn't too flashy, which is great, but it has a very classy look to it. I wear it casually occasionally, but more so when i am dressing up nicer.
I'm not sure about the 1st comment about it not keeping time? Maybe a manufacture mistake, but mine is dead on, all the time!
No complaints, I love it, its a great watch, great quality, and I'm extremely surprised this came from nixon. Good job Nixon!

When He Speaks Believe Him
Women have great intuition; however, some women become infatuated with guys they aren't compatible with, in hopes that he will become the guy of their dreams. He wont, not for you anyway. Too many times a man tells you he's not looking for a relationship or, even worse, has ties with someone else. Next time, keep him as an acquaintance while patiently waiting for someone better to come along.

From "World's Healthiest Foods" website.
"Absolutely delicious! For protection against prostate cancer."
"Healthy sauté" uses broth instead of oil.
Letting cruciferous vegetables sit for 5-10 minutes after being cut allows time for the production of phenethyl isothiocyanates. Heat stops this process.

The New WSU.edu
In this Internet age, a university's homepage is very much its front door to the world. For example, Washington State University's homepage receives more than 1 million pageviews and 800,000 unique visitors in an average month.
What are all those visitors looking for? Many are WSU faculty, staff and students who need basic information quickly. Others are prospective students trying to make a life-changing decision about which university to attend. Others are WSU alumni and supporters who want to keep in touch with what is happening at their favorite university.
A well-designed homepage must meet all those needs and many, many more.
A few months ago, after consultation with leaders of our Information Technology and University Relations departments, we concluded that our homepage needed to be enhanced to make it more user-friendly and more in keeping with WSU's mission.
We decided the new page needs to feature simpler navigation, less clutter, with clear pathways to the most common sources of information. It needs content areas that highlight stories about the exciting work that happens every day at WSU to reach potential students, supporters and friends of the university. We want the content to be dynamic, using video and audio techniques that capture the feeling of exploration and discovery that enlivens this place.
We want content that is focused on the goals of learning, research and building community, which are instrumental to the mission of a modern research-intensive land-grant university and in line with our strategic goals. And we want a page that will provide easy links to all our campuses, Extension, and distance learning, to reinforce an important message about WSU's broad impact.
The web team in University Relations that was charged with this task has accomplished great things on a tight deadline. The new page and the top-level content linked from it is scheduled to go live on March 6.
Change is seldom an easy process. We certainly expect some concern when frequent visitors go to www.wsu.edu that day and find a page that is much different than the page they used the day before. We think that the page will be easy to navigate and that the adjustment period for frequent users will be a short one.
However, any good webpage is always a work in progress. No matter how diligent and skilled the project team may be, the users may have different ideas. We welcome your comments, your feedback, your suggestions. Please direct them to John Sutherland or John Vleck.
